Please note that the Race Results tables for 2015 now includes the crew details and have been sorted into finishing order with an added column showing the time difference in the corrected times from the previous placed boat. We hope this is of interest to members.
Autumn Series 2015
SAMM Yacht Racing Starts at Last
The SAMM Autumn Series of races should have started in September but mechanical problems with the support boat forced a postponement. But, with the co-operation of the MoBo Group who provided their power boat as Committee boat and Ernie foster who loaned his small rib as back up racing eventually started on October 4th.
Nine boats came to the line for the 4 lap morning race in very light winds. The Catamaran 'Hamour' got a great start closely followed by the Sailfish 'Mistral, then the five dinghies 5 minutes later. First to finish was Shoestring Dos, Tug Wilson and Pat Fleck, and they were also confirmed as winners after corrected times were calculated. 2nd the Faversham 14, Dave Belcher and 3rd the Bosun, Bob James and Robert Grace. Four boats did not finish in the time allowed.
Eight boats started the afternoon 3 lap race but decreasing winds were not kind to the bigger boats and again two DNF'd. The race was shortened to just two laps as the wind virtually died away. Shoestring Dos was again first to finish but was pushed into second place by the Faversham 14 on corrected times, reversing their positions in the first race. The Bosun was again third.
Next race day is October 18th starting at 10am at the CTD Centre, Los Narejos, ALL welcome.

Not being able to attend the last three race days, I have not been able to write any reports on them but the last two results sheets are shown below.
The season is now over so the final series points total and positions table is also published.
The top spot was closely fought all season and the final result shows only 1.25 points separate the top two boats. Congratulations to the Catamaran on their first and Sirocco on its second. They recorded 5 and 4 race wins respectively during the season and neither was ever positioned lower than sixth.
From this table you will see that the points total for the top six boats were not affected by races they did not compete in. It also shows that, in the main, the handicaps are now fairly accurate as 5 different boats have won races and 6 boats have achieved a second place. This indicates the results are mostly affected by the experience of the different crews, the tactics and the weather conditions. Also note that the Shoestring Group's 'Cuatro' was originally a Laser 13 but the races since April 9th have been in their new Gamba which has retained the name.
We did say we would run with the same handicaps for the whole of this season but agreed that any that seemed particularly out would be looked at. Unfortunately, the RYA has upgraded the PYS web site and run into problems, so I have been unable to do the regular checks on and adjust any handicaps. I lodged a complaint with the RYA and they have acknowledged they have had problems and at the moment you can only up-load Sailwave, HAL or XML files and not the Excel files we use. This is being added back into their system but they cannot give me a time scale.
The Charity race was a great success and a full report and results information will be published soon. Watch this space.

Spring Series 2015 – Final Results
Wow! – they all started and finished!
Sunday May 17th, races six and seven in the SAMM Spring Series saw eleven boats containing 22 crew come to the start line for both the days' races, the most this year.
At the start of the morning race there was hardly any wind, no more than 2 knots but part way through the third lap it increased to 5 knots which favoured the slower boats. This was reflected in the results with 1st the Catamaran 'Hamour', 2nd Sailfish 'Mistral' and 3rd Sailfish 'Sirocco'.
By the time the afternoon race started the wind was still freshening and reached 11+ knots for most of the race. The Martin and the Faversham were late in starting because they misread the signals and horn blast. The Gamba 'Shoestring Uno' hit the downwind buoy on the second lap and had to do a 360, which probably cost her a place.
The winner was the Laser 2000 'Shoestring Dos' which flew round the course and came in first way ahead of everyone else (did he have a motor or was his pacemaker set on fast?), which also secured them 1st place on corrected time. 2nd was the Catamaran, while the Sailfish 'Mistral' beat the other Sailfish 'Sirocco' to 3rd place by just 9 seconds.
A noteworthy result in the afternoon race was the 5th place by Mick Burgess in his Sea Hopper, the smallest boat in the fleet.
Perfect Racing Weather – Spring Series April 19th
Eleven boats turned out for the third race day in the SAMM Spring Series, the highest number so far this season, including new member Robert James in his Bosun which is a very old class.
The weather was perfect, warm, and sunny with 5 – 7 knot NW winds and new race officer Grahame Gannon, on his first day in the job got everybody away for the morning race promptly at 11.40am.
The race was being very closely fought when, at the end of lap two, disaster stuck when a marker buoy became adrift forcing the race to be abandoned.
Most boats got off to a good start in the afternoon race which was again very hard fought in stronger 10-12 knot winds from ESE. The two Sailfish 18's were in close, often worryingly close, contact for almost all the race as were the two Laser 2000's.
Eventually, in such very close racing that only,56 seconds separated the first 5 boats, the Catamaran 'Hamour' (John Clarke, John Parker, Graham Lewis) triumphed, with the Faversham 14 (Dave Belcher, Kevin Powell) second and Shoestring Tres (Brian Murray, Vernon O'Byrne) third.
Season's Positions after Races 1-5
The Winners!
SAMM Spring Series – March 2015
A Good Day's Racing – Second Series
Sunday march 29th, the second of the SAMM Spring Series race days, saw 8 boats come to the start line for both races on a lovely sunny and warm day.
For the first race the wind was 7kts with stronger gusts and quite marked shifts which made the conditions challenging, especially for the dinghies. Final results on corrected time saw a clean sweep of the top 3 places by the two Sailfish 18's and the Balaton of the Balaton Group, with the Catamaran 4th.
By the second race the wind had increased to 10kts but again with marked shifts and gusts of up to about 18kts. These were perfect conditions for the big Catamaran and unsurprisingly she finished in the top spot. Second was the Sailfish 18 'Sirocco' and third, a great performance in the trying conditions, the Laser 2000 'Shoestring Dos'.
A close look at the results tables will reveal some very close finish times between boats, the smallest gaps being 5, 22 and 36 seconds. This seems to indicate that, in the main, the club handicaps being used are reasonably accurate.
A most memorable day, especially for Ingo Wilson and Heinz Lenhard sailing the Laser 2000 'Shoestring Tres' who spent as much time in the water as on it, by capsizing three times during the day.
The three Balaton Group Boats
Spring Series – March 2015
Sunday March 15th was the opening day of the SAMM, Sailing Association Mar Menor, Spring 2015 Series racing at Los Narejos on the Mar Menor. A disappointing 5 boats came to the line for the start of the first race which was delayed till 12.30pm due to lack of wind but this was probably because many members had not returned to their Spanish homes.
Under the overcast sky, in SE winds of 5 to 8.5 knots the race was very close fought at times but the final result on corrected time was 1st the Sailfish 18 'Sirocco' crewed by Robert Hudson and Julian Pering, 2nd the Faversham of David Belcher and 3rd the other Sailfish 18 'Mistral' crewed by Mick Burgess and Ernie Foster.
The second race started at 2.30pm in similar cold conditions with 'Sirocco' and the Faversham again placed first and second and the Hartley 12.2 of Don Clarke third.

New film Interior Motives explores the links between fashion and interiors
Aug 10, 2019 | By Luke Tebbutt
Aug 05, 2013
French luxury house, Céline is commissioning a series of practical furniture pieces by Danish artist FOS for the brand's new flagship store in London this September.
According to online sources, pieces from the collection will include earthenware tables and concrete and metal lamp stands, which will unite Céline designer, Phoebe Philo's minimalist aesthetic with the Danish artist's quirky and fantastical vision.
"Design has always been a part of my artistic frame, which by its nature is part of fashion's," explained FOS (Thomas Poulsen) to Style.com recently.
It's not the first time we have seen a contemporary artist foray into the world of fashion retail. Pringle of Scotland collaborated with British artist Liam Gillick to design a capsule collection and pop-up shop during Art Basel Miami Beach in 2011. The collection, and interior space perfectly fused Gillick's abstract, "color-blocked" aesthetic with Pringle's heritage, argyle pattern. You can view images of the collaboration via our blogpost feature.
FOS is represented by Max Wigram Gallery in London. – Samantha Fox

Chronic Migraine
After being diagnosed with chronic migraine a few years ago I spent years trying different prescription medication (with horrible side-effects), osteopathy, and many more expensive options. Someone then advised trying acupuncture. Having been a little sceptical before, due to an irrational fear of needles, I was out of other options so found Julia online. On meeting Julia, she put me instantly at ease, and listened intently to symptoms/lifestyle/diet etc. and then began working her magic!

Don't mind the mess!
We're currently in the process of migrating the Panda3D Manual to a new service. This is a temporary layout in the meantime.
These AI behaviors control the basic motion of NPC objects in a game and make it look realistic.
PandAI is inbuilt with handling the functionality of the seven following basic steering behaviors :
Obstacle Avoidance
Path Follow
Before you start exploring these various behaviors, let me give you a brief introduction on how it is setup and what you need to begin :
All the Steering Behaviors are part of the Behavior class of any AI Character. Hence, to use them you need to get a reference to it via 'getAiBehaviors()' function of the AICharacter class.
Once you get this reference, you can use it to call any steering behavior.
//For example: aiBehaviors = aiCharacter.getAiBehaviors(); aiBehaviors.seek(targetNodePath);
- Once you have read this page, you can proceed to explore the individual pages for each AI Behavior for details and even an example demo for each one working.
Every steering behavior can also take a second parameter which is priority. This ranges from 0 to 1 and it defines the behaviors intensity when combined with other behaviors.
//For example: aiBehaviors.seek(targetNodePath_1, 0.5); aiBehaviors.flee(targetNodePath_2, 0.5);
This will cause the AICharacter's resultant force to be an equal balance of seeking 'targetNodePath_1' and fleeing 'targetNodePath_2' .
(For beginners -> Come back to these when you need this functionality)
For the AIWorld class:
void addAiChar(AICharacter aiChar); void removeAiChar(string name); void addFlock(Flock *flock); void flockOff(int ID); void flockOn(int ID); Flock getFlock(int ID);
For the AICharacter class:
double getMass(); void setMass(double m); LVecBase3f getVelocity(); double getMaxForce(); void setMaxForce(double max_force); NodePath getNodePath(); void setNodePath(NodePath np);
For the AIBehaviors class:
aiBehaviors.behaviorStatus(string AIName)
This function returns the status of an AI Behavior whether it is active, paused, done or disabled. Returns -1 if an invalid string is passed.
- Note for pathfinding status, use pathfollow as the string name, since pathfinding is a subset of pathfollow.
To remove any AI after their call has been instantiated.
void removeAi(string "AIName");
- Note for pathfinding removal, use pathfollow as the string name, since pathfinding is a subset of pathfollow.
To pause or resume any AI after their call has been instantiated.
void pauseAi(string "AIName"); void resumeAi(string "AIName");
where AIName refers to:
"all" - removes all the Ai's
"seek" - removes seek
"flee" - removes flee
"pursue" - removes arrival
"evade" - removes pursuit
"arrival" - removes evade
"wander" - removes wander
"flock" - removes flock
"obstacle_avoidance" - removes obstacle_avoidance
"pathfollow" - removes pathfollow

After Paradise
a monoplay remembering September 11th
with Will Swenson
directed by Damien Gray
music by Peter Lurye
Sunday, September 11th at 2pm
AFTER PARADISE is a two-act monoplay combining two texts written ten years apart.
The first piece, 3 Weeks after Paradise, was written in 2001 shortly after the attacks on
the Twin Towers and details the experience of the playwright's family in downtown New
York on that morning and in the immediate aftermath. The play was filmed in 2002 and
aired repeatedly on the Bravo network, winning several awards. The second piece, 10
Years after Paradise, was written during the past year and centers on the effects of 9/11
on the world today.

Mini Bean and Sweetcorn Burgers
These Mini Bean and Sweetcorn Burgers are so healthy and super easy to make. There's no frying onions or raw eggs involved, so they are great for making with small children. They are extremely economical at just 24p a serving if you use budget supermarket range, which work fine.
Mini bean and sweetcorn burgers can be served in many ways - in mini buns with homemade relish, alongside potato wedges and veggies or dunked in houmous with carrot sticks and pittas. Because they are mini, they are pretty robust and won't fall apart.
You can freeze your pre-made mini bean and sweetcorn burgers and cook them straight from frozen another time, so they're great for batch cooking. Flavour wise, they are quite versatile, so add any herbs and spices you fancy. For grown ups, add a good dollop of harrisa to spice them up.
Mini Bean and Sweetcorn Burgers - Recipe
Makes: 12
Time: 15 mins prep + 8 mins cooking
Cost: 24p per serving (3 burgers)
Calories: 150 per serving (3 burgers)
2 x 400g tins kidney beans, drained and rinsed
140g tinned sweetcorn (or defrost frozen sweetcorn by running it under a hot tap)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander (or 1 tsp dried herbs of choice)
Good pinch paprika or cayenne pepper
Pinch of salt to taste
45g / 3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
Pre-heat the grill on the highest setting, unless you are freezing the burgers for another day.
Mash the kidney beans in a large bowl until almost smooth. Add the sweetcorn, herbs, spice and salt and mix really well. Add the breadcrumbs and mix again really well.
Roll the mixture into roughly 12 balls each a little bigger than a golf ball and flatten to make a burger shape.
Grill the burgers for around 4 minutes on each side until golden and heated through. If you are cooking from frozen grill for 6 minutes on each side. Check the burgers are piping hot throughout before serving

Our outreach services include; formal behavioral assessments, parent training, and transition support and program curriculum tailored for individuals with significant needs.
GCFA performs formal assessments for young adults, adolescents and children with autism and related disorders. The following assessments provide the necessary information to develop an effective program:
- Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
- Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R)
- Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS)
- Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-3 (ABAS) or Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (Vineland-3)
Home-Based Services: GCFA helps young adults, adolescents and children with autism in acquiring skills in self-help practices and leisure time opportunities, social and community interaction, functional academics, behavior difficulties and family traditions. GCFA offers training to parents, siblings, extended family members and respite personnel to help build a family life that reduces as much stress as possible. All staff are closely supervised by highly experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts who have been in the autism field for many years.
Behavioral Training and Supervision: GCFA has a training program based on the most current best practice principles for working with adults and adolescents in transition, or children with autism within a school, agency or home-based context. This training program presents the key introductory elements of Applied Behavior Analysis and Positive Behavior Support that will result in high level of competencies for teaching assistants or direct service providers to develop the necessary competencies to work effectively within the home, school and community. GCFA offers follow-up student/client specific supervision for each training participant who successfully completes the training program.
GCFA provides consultation to school districts for adolescents and children with autism with skill deficits or behavior challenges. GCFA works with school teams to identify and address behavior or skill acquisition challenges and generate individualized behavior intervention plans, including early intensive behavior intervention for young children with autism. Consultation services include ongoing clinical supervision by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to school teams. GCFA provides training on Autism Spectrum Disorder, the basics of Applied Behavior Analysis, and behavior intervention, including discrete trial methodology and natural environment teaching. GCFA also provides direct level staff to supplement school teams.
Transition Support and Program Curriculum: The goal of GCFA consultation is to support educational communities in establishing evidence-based programs using the most current strategies and interventions that will provide learners along the autism spectrum to realize their full potential. The GCFA works with the school's educational team and his/her family in developing an individualized behavioral, educational and vocational program for students in transition. The Outreach Program, like all of the other programs of the Greengard Center for Autism rely on a unique integration of the following four components:
Learning Never Ends: The Outreach Program ensures participants continue to expand their life goals and to improve their quality of life. Through developing new skills as well as maintaining already acquired skills: communication, functional academics and adaptive living skills, expected behavior skills, social skills, and individualized leisure and employment skills.
Family Collaboration: GCFA believes that the family's knowledge of their child's unique history and culture, learning profile, the parent's hopes and dreams must be carefully documented and honored.
Commitment to Lifelong Healthy Living: Developing regular exercise, expanded nutritious food choices, involvement in the arts, and active participation in recreational opportunities will help to provide participants with confidence, expanded opportunities for enjoyment and a positive well-being.
Creating Meaningful Work and Social Opportunities: GCFA is committed to developing valuable employment and volunteer opportunities within the local community. GCFA is in the process of developing its own business ventures in order for its participants to have a meaningful vocational experience within the community.

A New York Times Green blog entry by Dylan Walsh explains that meteorological and ecological shifts driven by climate change are creating an unpredictable range of novel public health challenges.
"Vulnerabilities change tremendously by location," said Dr. Luber, who cited the different risk profiles of Boston, Miami and Phoenix as an example. So the C.D.C. is working with 18 states to develop regional adaptation plans for emerging public health risks. That involves integrating environmental data like surface temperature and land-use type with social and economic data to create a map of future public health vulnerabilities.
The diversity of the threats also makes it challenging to set priorities for response and adaptation plans. It is difficult, for example, to rank the public health risk of stronger hurricanes against the risk of cardiovascular complications from prolonged heat. "One is an acute intense disaster, the other an insidious chronic impact of heat stress," Dr. Balbus said. "It's very hard to compare these two."

Dr. Joseph Concludes 100 Days of Action and Analysis, Begins Planning for the Future of Metro Schools
With the close of his first 100 days as the Director of Metro Schools, today Dr. Shawn Joseph presents his 100 Day Report to Nashville and the Board of Education. His first 100 days were guided by a comprehensive entry plan that mapped out goals and priorities – all of which were or are being addressed – for his transition into leadership.
The report will explain how the work accomplished to date – which included gathering a significant volume of community input – will be used to develop a new strategic plan for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
"I have never lived in a place that is so pro-education, where there are so many people cheering for the system and ready to give all kids a world-class education. Together, we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. I had to be ambitious in my first few months, and now we as a city must be ambitious in where we go from here. This is a moment when urgency is needed, and that deeply felt commitment and passion from the community must keep growing. Our kids deserve everything we have."
Dr. Joseph immediately went to work laying the foundation for district transformation with a focus on changing the leadership culture and system-wide expectations.
That began with members of the Board of Education, with whom he worked diligently to develop a positive and productive working relationship. It extended to beginning the work needed to change the district-wide culture to one of service and collaboration. It also set a new norm for district-wide expectations – for leadership, central support and teachers – of high accountability for performance coupled with high levels of support.
At the same time, Dr. Joseph prioritized community and employee engagement and created a process for deep research and analysis of the district's current status, its strengths and its challenges.
The ongoing review included 74 school visits, a dozen Listen & Learn community forums, 30 Parent & Teacher Voice sessions on specific topics, five deep discussions on Board strategy and multiple meetings with all principals and central leadership. Dr. Joseph also assembled a 47-member Transition Team – made up of local leaders and some of the nation's top education experts – who spent the entire 100 days poring over district research in four key areas in order to develop a set of recommendations expected in early 2017.
"When I came here, there was a lot going on throughout the system, and many disparate programs and initiatives, and I didn't see the capacity to execute them at the highest level of quality or to coordinate them in a cohesive manner," said Dr. Joseph. "I had to ensure that I was able to learn everything I could about the district while also starting to take steps toward the quick wins that would not only bring immediate improvement but also give us the groundwork for long-term goals and strategies."
Each of the many accomplishments achieved during his first 100 days are in direct service to one or both of these two paths – action and analysis. Together they will help Dr. Joseph, his team and the entire Metro Schools community develop a new strategic plan to guide the district to its ultimate goal of being the fastest improving district in the country.
See how each of these top five priorities were addressed in the first 100 days.
The result of all this action and analysis is a set of conclusions on which Dr. Joseph wishes to take significant action through a new strategic plan.
"Our strategic plan will be bold in its approach to achieve high academic standards more quickly," said Dr. Joseph. "But I didn't want to come in with a bunch of new initiatives and programs without knowing where we are from all perspectives.
"Now I have a good sense of where we are as a district, and we must prioritize the steps to take to move forward. We will take a multi-year approach while also finding the actions we can take this year that will let people feel a difference in the quality of our services."
See all of the conclusions reached during the first 100 days.
The next job is also the most important: writing the map that will take Metro Schools along the road to improvement. There are two phases to this process: actions to be taken this year and compiling a long-term strategic plan for the years to come.
Looking at what can be done this winter and spring, Dr. Joseph and his team will continue to monitor the work already underway, including culture, literacy, assessments, work with priority schools and discipline disparities. The deep budget analysis will also conclude, allowing for next year's budget to be built and a multi-year budget to begin development.
There will also be quick action taken in the areas of:
- Instructional rigor
- Advanced academic options
- Middle school programming
- Employee pay
- Diversity
- Parent engagement at the school level
- Facility planning
- Performance monitoring and management
All the while, Dr. Joseph and the district chiefs – with frequent discussions with the Board – will immerse themselves in long-term strategic planning. This process will play out over the next three to four months, with frequent opportunities for additional community and employee input throughout.
In January, the Transition Team is expected to turn in a report of recommendations for improvement. Combined with the report from his first 100 days, ongoing Board collaboration, continuous community engagement and other external reports, audits and sources of information, district leaders will be armed with everything they need to plan for the coming years of Metro Schools' journey to excellence.
"I am humbled and appreciative to be in Nashville at this time in our history because I know we will get it right," said Dr. Joseph. "There are so many people who are passionate about helping, and we must continue to collaborate with and listen to them. We cannot be the fastest growing urban district in America without them."

|And so, it is complete.
|The longarm quilter did a nice job with a pantograph flower. I asked her to do whatever she wanted, but to make it blend. She chose well!
|I did a purple binding (also from my stash--yay). The backing was 108" I bought at the quilt shop when I dropped it off for quilting. The measurements worked out perfectly--I didn't have to cut or piece a dang thing for the back.
Looking back through time from its humble beginnings as a stack of fabric...
No, I'm not a whole lot more thrilled with it now than I was before. However, my husband really likes it and it fits the bed in our son's bedroom (now mostly a guest room). And it's soft and cuddly now that it's been washed--nice and wrinkly like I like them. I'm not sure it'll ever grow on me, but that's okay. I don't feel the need to absolutely love everything I do. If I don't love it, or love the process, I at least have to have learned something, and that I did. So it's all good.

Mini Pistachio-Rose Olive Oil Cakes w/Lemon-Chamomile Whipped Cream
Random fact: I love basketball, specifically the NBA. More specifically, the San Antonio Spurs. You might be thinking, "Wait, aren't you from Hawaii?!" And yes. I am, which means I get to pick whichever team my heart desires, since Hawaii doesn't have it's own professional teams. So, of course I found a team in Texas to love. "But why the Spurs?" This would be a totally valid question. The answer is: The Admiral. It's pretty difficult not to fall in love, hard and fast, with a team that was centered by The Admiral, a man who pretty much embodied teamwork in every way possible. Random fact number two of the day: David Robinson is the only NBA player from the Navy to date (hence, The Admiral) and he's also arguably one of the best centers of all time. Last thing about Robinson, because I do realize this is not a basketball blog although I could go on and on, he's one of only five guys to have scored over 70 points in a single game and yet he's often remembered most for his teamwork and the relationship he and Tim Duncan (another great Spur) built. They even earned the nickname of the Twin Towers (they're big dudes, Robinson's 6' 8" and Duncan is 6' 11"). And all of that, right there, would have been enough to make me a Spurs fan for life. But here's the thing, that only scratches the surface on this team. When I think of teamwork, the Spurs seem to be the quintessential example of what teamwork should look like and that is why they are so beloved.
And I promise I'll stop there. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the Spurs are out. They just lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, in the first round of the playoffs, in a heartbreakingly close seven game series. They lost Game 7 by TWO points and there was a horn malfunction on the last second that could have changed the outcome of the game. So, I apologize if I'm a little sensitive this week, I'm still in shock. The only pro to come from this loss is that I have more time to focus on everything that I might have been neglecting for the last week and a half. Whoops. Blame it on the playoffs. And because I'd love to bring my basketball rants full circle, I'm going to suggest that this was the perfect intro to this awesome day of sharing. Renee, from Will Frolic for Food, was kind enough to get a bunch of awesome bloggers together today to share their favorite edible flower recipes for a 'virtual' potluck! Scroll down to find some beautiful and inspiring ways to incorporate edible flowers into your kitchen.
My contribution to the potluck is this recipe for some mini pistachio-rose olive oil cakes with lemon-chamomile whipped cream. They're light, floral and might be the perfect addition to your mother's day festivities, tea time, or really any other time of the day. I'm actually having one for breakfast right now--they are so airy and fluffy that I've convinced myself that they're pretty much calorie free. Packed with a double (yet subtle) dose of rose, these olive oil cakes are delicate and that beautiful rosy aroma gives them an air of dignity, (I think roses have a majestic scent , is that just me?). Pair that with the bright and soothing duo of lemon and chamomile in whipped cream form, and you've got a well balanced treat. Think sponge cake not dense olive oil cake when you think of this cake, cause that's pretty much what it is. And the fruity and smooth rose-infused olive oil (I used Other Brother's Shorty--I mentioned them last time--and highly recommend it for this recipe as well as any everyday cooking needs) adds to the overall vibe of, errr, lightness. Blanking on a better word for this but I'm gonna go ahead and blame this on the fact that I'm still recovering from the Spurs loss.
Plan ahead for this recipe because infusing olive oil takes a while. Think 8-12 hours in a slow cooker or sous vide (at around 100°F) for the same amount of time. You can also infuse your whipped cream with chamomile at the same time. I went with a cold infusion for 4-5 hours and the cream came out perfect. Not too chamomile-y and also, saved myself the trouble of heating it up on the stovetop. You can definitely steep the roses or chamomile longer for a more intense infusion but I think subtly can be highly underrated and might be best in the case of cakes. Feel free to bake this into a 9" round or even into cupcakes and whatever you do, don't forget to grease or line those pans!! I can't stress that last part enough. And with that, I'll leave you with all the other wonderful floral options out there today!!

- Lightly crush roses in the bottom of your glass mason jar using a wooden spoon then fill jar with oil. Stir to cover blossoms with oil and release any air bubbles.
- Cap jars and place into slow cooker on top of the towel or into the sous vide container and . allow oils to infuse for 8-12 hours on either low for the slow cooker or at 100°F for sous vide. Stir or gently shake jars a few times during the infusion process.
- After oil has been infused, turn off slow cooker or sous vide and allow oil to cool to room temperature. Strain flowers out through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing or squeezing to get as much oil out of the blossoms as possible. Set aside till ready to use.
- Do ahead!: Combine cream and chamomile in mason jar and let steep in fridge for 4-5 hours. Strain the chamomile out through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag, squeezing the chamomile to extract the most flavor. Set aside in fridge till ready to use.
- Right before you're ready to top your cakes, whip cream with honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice stand mixer, with whisk attachment, on medium until firm peaks form or until you reach your desired consistency.

- Grease your pan(s) with butter and dust with flour or line with paper liners then set aside.
- In a small bowl, sift pistachio flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together yolks and 1/2 cup sugar at high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add olive oil (3/4 cup), rose water, and lemon juice and zest. Beat until combined (mixture might appear separated). Add in flour mixture and beat for an additional 30 seconds.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar a little at a time and continue to beat until egg whites just hold soft peaks, about 3 minutes.
- Gently fold one third of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
- Carefully pour cake batter into pan(s). Bake until puffed and golden and a tooth pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 22 minutes (around 35 if baking in 9" round). Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then invert the cake on a large plate.
- Top with whipped cream and any other desired toppings.
- Serve and enjoy!

I don't think I'll have much time for IF this week, because my spare days are being spent helping to set up the Illustrators Australia 20th year exhibition! This year we are part of the Northern Exposure Festival in High Street, Northcote. You can see a preview of the exhibition here.
The opening is this Friday 19th June 6-10pm, and we are having some wonderful casual illustrator talks on Sunday the 21st from 1-3pm. So if you are in the area, do come along!

The enemy wants to hit you so hard with trauma that darkness is all you can see. He does this so he can own the light of your family tree.
His plan is to keep you focused on the wound, to keep you in hatred of the one from whom the affliction came. He wants you to exist as the victim.

The Story of the Eye – On the Hinge between this World and Another
Georges Bataille (1897–1962) is a renegade scholar. His 'literature of transgression' transcends its pornographic reputation. It ruptures the normative notion of a linear relationship between agent, objects, functionality, cause and event. Rather, Bataille envisions a world with agents, objects and limitless possibilites for future events. He writes a bridge between the human imagination, the materialised world and the future that we project. In Bataille's The Story of the Eye, we witness a teenage couple's perversions manifested through sexual transgressions – even to the extent of necrophilia. The reader assumes the role of the embodied eye. And the embodied eye is not limited to the visual. Through a series of spherical and visceral metaphors we physically – and with a full range of senses – enter the characters' disturbing world. And what we find most earth shattering is the echo of our own world.
The story takes place in a land called X. And it is just that: a variable world akin to our own. The human imagination consists of the same objects, spaces and beings that we experience in the materialised world; we just rearrange them through memory and imagination. Through written words, Bataille's imagination becomes materialised. He creates a spatio-temporal landscape that the reader can navigate.
The same objects – eggs, eyes, taurine testicles – that the characters employ in their sexual acts are of our own world. Here, however, they have been arranged in an unconventional way. And the visceral traces they leave on the architectural landscape of the story are also of our own world: yolk, blood and semen. And we produce the same bodily fluids that also paint the story. These metaphors make us aware of a borderland that we occupy: a fragile interstice between life and death.
As we occupy this interstice, we become increasingly aware of the nuanced frailty of each life. We see within ourselves an extraordinary capacity to be productive – or even reproductive – but an equally extraordinary capacity to be destructive.
Experience constitutes the collision between the inner mental world and the external world. Through being, we occupy a borderland: somewhere between this world and another. The unreality of reality: we create our world through what we imagine it to be.
So we are all agents in this borderland between the imagination and the materialised world: a hinge between this world and another.

As you may have noticed, things have been pretty quiet here at the Illinois Issues blog.
The cause for my lapse in posting is that the magazine is merging with WUIS, the public radio station also based at the University of Illinois Springfield. I have stepped into the role of interim executive editor. Between editorial duties and working on the transition, I have not found a lot of time for blogging. If you read the magazine, you might have caught my column explaining things. If not, here it is.
Merging with WUIS expands our capacity (both on the editorial and business side of things) and creates a team of smart, informed and hard-working professionals who can focus in on public policy reporting. Statehouse journalist Brian Mackey will be a regular contributor to the magazine and will take over the State of the State column. You will see stories from WUIS Statehouse Bureau Chief Amanda Vinicky and from WUIS' Education Desk and Harvest Desk, which focuses on food, fuel and the environment. If you listen to NPR in Illinois, you will hear companion pieces to the print stories we bring to you each month. Our staff will also have more ability to do long-range planning, take on special projects, connect with you on social media and host engagement events, such as public forums.
Illinois Issues will be able to use resources already available to WUIS to update our web presence—a move that is long overdue. That means we may find a new home online, and the format of what we do may change. Because of that, I am asking for your help. Please reach out and let us know why you read our blog. When do you read it? How do you get here? What do you like? What could you live without? What do you find the most useful? What would you like to see that we are not currently doing? If you have thoughts to share about the magazine or how you might want to get our long form content online, we would be happy to hear them, too. We want to make sure that as we rework some things, we are serving the needs of you, our readers. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or you can leave a comment on this post.
I apologize for the lack of posts here. I will try to keep things going with some shorter updates. You can also get your Illinois Issues fix with our July/August environmental issue, which includes a story on the dwindling numbers of monarch butterflies. Our back-to-school September issue will focus on education, and we are planning some thought-provoking election pieces for the October issue. Thank you for reading and please hang in there as we work our way through some changes. If we move the blog, I will keep you in the loop. Whatever tweaks we might make, we are dedicated to maintaining our core mission of providing in-depth impartial reporting on the topics that matter to you.

Delhi entrepreneur launches app to unite Pakistan and India
In a bid to limit the rivalry between India and Pakistan to sports grounds, a Delhi-based entrepreneur earlier this month launched a new app to improve relations between the two South Asian rivals.
'India or Pakistan' is an innovative application, available on Google Play store, that questions the reader, after showing pictures of the two nations. The idea is to make people focus on what unites them by making them guess whether the photographs were taken in India or Pakistan.
In light of recent events, it is a welcoming gesture that is part of the wider movement called 'India Loves Pakistan' that was launched in 2013. The Delhi-based social movement aims to 'add .. human element to the India-Pakistan relationship.'
The initiative operates primarily on Twitter through #DearNeighbour and #IndiaWithPakistan.
Where the former was launched as a generic hashtag to initiate dialogue across the border, the latter was trending post-Peshawar massacre in Pakistan, with thousands of Indians expressing solidarity with Pakistanis after the terrorist attack.

Good gesture but politicians and fanatics on both sides of the border will try to hijack this cause.
Very good move..Although i yet to see the App..its thought looks nice...
It is time the common people on both sides of the border start voicing their concern that the government 'they' chose and army that's to protect "them" give PEACE a CHANCE Cause for the govt and army its very easy to spend next 65 years in animosity and hatred. But for common people there is so much to benefit from mutual love and respect.
By the way today is the anniversary of the Gujrat riots when Muslims were hunted and murdered under the watchful eye of Narinda Modi. This kind of murder-fest has never happened in Pakistan. We are very different. Thank God for MA Jinnah and Pakistan.
Bravo! That's the spirit.
When pakistanis become secular, friendship automatically blossoms. The ball is always in the pakistani court.
Its about time we start seeing beyond our differences. In this world of global competition, helping each other will allow better opportunities of both countries who have essentially same roots. Religious differences should not be cause of hatred, it teaches us love and peace...
I think.. it's not gonna last.. as Indians and pakistani will immediately reciprocate on an incident and generalize the whole nation
Great ideas are always initiated by individuals. Let us face it we are the same people, same heritage and centuries together. Why hate and fight let us make this subcontinent envy of the world with peace, harmony and prosperity for all of us and specially for children. Make sure Mullahs, Pundits and politicians should be allowed to spoil our relationship with each other. Good luck.
I sincerely wish that some day in future we, including Bangladesh, are reunited as one again. All right thinking people in these three countries have now understood that everyone is suffering on some count or the other after 1947 partition. When two Germany could unite for greater prosperity, why not we ?
Real Humanity...
Great initiative and a great idea of showing the pictures. If only we grow up and stop making a big deal out of Kashmir and let go of our arrogance. I've met many Indians around the world and most have come out to be nice, caring and very similar to us: we share the same jokes, we love the same food, we love the same sports... I hope the hate mongers learn..
Only people to people contact will resolve any disputes between India-Pakistan.
Vested interest of few elite (both sides) put to severe test by this lovely app for common classes both sides
Do everything under the sun but don't solve Kashmir, Sir creek, siachen.
20-25 yrs ago there was East Germany and West Germany. But they were/ are civilized people.
Downloaded the App ..... great gesture .... did get few pics wrong ...... I guess that's a good thing
Pakistan Zindabad Love Peace Harmony Jai Hind
We don't need to unite with India. We are a sovereign developed nation.
Thank you so much, we need more peoples like you both in India and Pakistan.
Its going to happen eventually...!!
Sooner or later.
Well done...every little counts.
great effort and same should be encouraged by all as both nations have same social norms.
OMG i could not recognize so many places, thinking they were in India like Tomb of Jahangir.
@Sarwat Haseeb Really? We have insurgency going on in 2 of 4 provinces. Karachi seems to be out control. And yet you have he audacity to call yourself a sovereign state.
Another of the RSS's ploy to achieve a akandbharat. We will never let it succeed.
@Sarwat Haseeb Developed ? Really?
Nobody calls India developed either. We have ways to go....
It will be much better if both countries together eliminate religious hatred, curtail their defense spending, war against corruption and spend money on development and eliminate poverty.At least if we mind our own business then it is a progress toward right direction. But this a good gesture.
Our dislike for each other is now at a level where apps do not matter. Ground realities do and these are not condusive to any quick resolution.
Wonderful and great Humane idea which needs total support.
A positive move, I hope and prey for it to be successful venture, it's time to move forward for the sake of our people.
@Mohammed Yes sir ....but let me remind u more Muslims have been killed by brother Muslims in Pakistan ....under whose watchful eyes ?
Fight for 50 years but still you have to come together....culture unites us...India needs to play a bigger role as an elder brother
Great move,, it's the utmost need of the time. Let's join hands and crush the evil face of the hatred, let's bridge our differences. Let's not allow our selfish politicians and conscienceless media to exploit us anymore. I take the initiative to shake hands with my Indian brothers. Let's burry our differences and look for a prosperous future of Pakistan and India.
@Sarwat Haseeb, the intent and message is not to unite Pakistan with India. It's just to improve relations and make it friendly. India has zero interest to unite with Pakistan. The message is meant to create harmony and erase hatred.
@Sarwat Haseeb That is a nice joke. Sovereign nation lol
@Mohammed - good joke.
why only indians have to be courteous.. and that to for pakistan
Very good initiative
United Nation of India and Pakistan is difficult, many in Pakistan and India may disagree to it, but India and Pakistan can definitely be good friendly neighbours at least and not being enemies to each other.
@nobody Okay, let's make One Pakistan :)
@jen not really.....India Is a bigger country....it should be more cooperative :)
@jen - "The ball is always in the pakistani court." And you guys are are so innocent and good!!!
Oh GOD!!!!!! How beautiful it would be. but not really happening in our lifetime. maybe someday
We have evolved into two distinct, different countries and mind set. We speak similar language and some overlap of culture, but we have become different mind set.
@Mohammed Good One
@Jai Hind the app is linked in the article above. Cheers.
Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments here, and special thanks to Dawn for writing this article.
I'm Amrit, the Founder of IndiaLovesPakistan.com. I started the website in 2013, but we only launched this Android app, IndiaOrPakistan.com, about 2 weeks ago, on Valentine's Day.
With this app, I hope we can realize that we have a lot in common. That's it. There is so much that connects. Our passion for cricket, love for Bollywood movies, smell of garmagaram chai in the morning, the first delicious bite of a jalebi, music by Atif Aslam, Nusrat/Rafat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, and more recently, Fawad Khan. :)
I truly believe that most ordinary people in both countries would rather live with each other's happiness, and not each other's misery.
Download the app and try to see if you can guess which photo is India or Pakistan. ;)
Jai Hind. Jive Pakistan.
-Amrit Founder, IndiaLovesPakistan.com twitter.com/IndLovesPak facebook.com/IndLovesPak
P.S. Good luck to both teams in our World Cup games this weekend. :)
good posture & gesture .#indiawithpakistan
India and Pakistan is one country. Our boundaries are artificial and are meant to be erased one day.
Never the twain shall meet.
Good work from someone I can imagine to be a nice guy. THere is so much to be gained with friendship.....imagine a high speed train service from Lahore to Simla. Businesses florishing. people happy.....
The best use of cricket to unite the countries to make one combined team of Indian and Pakistani players. Pak players like Misbah, Junaid, Irfan Saeed and Afirdi can be selected and rest from India. Teams from Australia, SA, etc, should be invited and matches can be played in India & Pakistan. Crowd will cheer for both Pakistani and Indian players. This will bring us closer.
@Pragmatist I think we have to live in this situation till 2047, at that point memories of past would be completely erased and like Germanys Indo Pak can be united to form One greater India or we may call it Indo Pak Republic
People from both sides of the border will try to unite one way or the other BUT the governments and other vested interests groups will keep the divide ...... Not happening for at least one generation ....Hope i am wrong!
Can we cut this crap. No need to waste time. I just cannot think of having any relations with a Pakistani and expect the same for me from a Pakistani. I just stay away from Pakistanis in the U.S., never know if it can get you in trouble.
GOOD stuff!
Waste of Time!
@SRIDHAR RAGHUNATHA RAO There can be no union-if that happens a HUGE MUSLIM population with interests only in fostering Islam and nothing else will ruin India.
In hindsight,Partition was the best thing that happened to India..the bulk of sub continent's Muslims are in the two enclaves of Pakistan and Bangladesh where there is more talk about religion than about modern nation building!
I think bring united dies not mean you join and share same home. Bring united means one should not conspire against each other and protect each other interests and rights and don't do injustice. I think ordinary people of both countries are not having any rift but political leaders and agencies use rivalry tactics for their agendas.
Streamline Visa facility and make it easier for travelling between the two countries. I am now an Australian citizen but to travel to India they require Pakistani passport and stamp visa in Pakistani passport. I do not have a Pakistani passport for last 25 years. How ridiculous is that.
@Mohammed People kill people everywhere, for one reason or another. If Taliban or other group kill people in Pakistan (Muslims most of the time), that i also loss of life. Killed by people of same faith or another faith makes difference to dead?? I don't think so. It happened there earlier, but never after that, in Pakistan it is ongoing process.
Any effort that brings us closer should be appreciated. We should no longer leave it up to the politicians and decision makers to have friendly relations.We have given them more than enough time. Let us take it upon ourselves to elevate our relations to such a high level that these boundaries don't matter anymore. We can travel and trade freely. Enough of the hatred already. Let's give the gift of peace and prosperity to the coming generations.
Well done
Stop living in the past, Do not insult eachother, All humans are equal, learn to forgive eachother, all the great nations and people around the world have adopted this policy and have achieved immence success.
@IndiaLovesPakistan.com : Very good initiative. Hope that there are more people like you on both sides
@FM : It is not called ridiculous, it is called "once bitten twice shy". David Coleman Headley (born Daood Sayed Gilani; 30 June 1960) is an American terrorist of Pakistani origin, and a spy who conspired with the Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamist organization and Pakistani intelligence officers in plotting the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He traveled on a US Passport. Hence it is good exercise to mandate all travelers of Pakistani roots/origin to present their Pakistani passports. If you don't have them since 25 yrs, no need to travel to India. Please stay where you are.
Politicians in India follow what the people say. Look at Delhi elections! The bigger question is: do Pakistani people have any say over political matters in Pakistan or is everything decided by Army and ISI?
same dna, same culture, same food, same language, same heritage, same forefathers.
@Sarwat Haseeb Really developed? Pakistan can't even solve electricity.
@Amit-Atlanta-USA I hope not.
@Mohammed if today is Gujarat anniversary as per your words then my friend you must be having one anniversary there daily throughout the year,like Peshawar anniversary,Lahore anniversary, Swat anniversary, Rawalpindi anniversary , Karachi anniversary FATA anniversary Sukkur anniversary..and so on and on Gujarat you can remember as it was just one .just let me know how do you remember so many.. People like you will never allow friendship for common man to grow..!!!!!
Very good way to bring ppl together on both sides. We hope Indian Gov can work together with Pakistan on Kashmiries future and right to vote for Independence!
I sincerely hope we are one country minus the fascist forces from both the side....we can be the worlds superpower if we invest all the resources and nurture them with love...
@Mohammed Really you are very different. But only a small portion of Muslims endorsed the idea of Mr.Jinnah.Secular India is the home for world's 2nd.. largest no. of Muslims. We are very proud that we got many Muslim presidents,writers, scientists singers,etc.i.e. in every sphere of life. Our first and last identity is that we are Indian. It such a pleasure probably hard to realize by you.
@Mohammed - Pl. look with a different glass. We have more Muslim population than Pakistan. Our legal process are far more better than that of Pak. Modiji had cleared the cases legally and he is accepted as PM by majority Indians - including Indian Muslims. Now, we concentrate how we can bring ourselves near to each other .
I understand there are differences between us. Its true. BUT at the same time even its true that once in history we were united. Here in India we have grown up hearing our country as the golden bird (sone ki chidiya) in the past (ofcourse must be of times wen we were united)
Can one imagine if we unite as friends once again what BIG united world powers we can be!!! The entire west shall be jaw dropping. The entire world shall be afraid of us. We shall save billions of rupees presently spent on defense which can be used for our citizens.
After ofcourse we'l be the strongest army, the strongest cricket team and hockey teams...
even YOUR ( India ///Pakistan) own Freinds or I must say other friends of these two nations ...Dont want this to happen ......& it will never happen ....Now just imagine .....Indians * pakistanese visiting each others home, Being invited to each other marriage ceremonies....exchangind ideas on social, Medical , Educational interpersonal grounds...THEN NO NEED TO WISH FOR HEAVEN thats your HEAVEN ....& it will never happen ...there are people among us ...& are so called other friend states who are only their to wage anger & SELL their Products ....
Al though I have seen always negative and harsh bashing from our neighbors ,, I Pakistani Nationalist, but If any thing could be possible to solve the problems of people of South Asia by making any joint Union this would be welcome till how long we both countries will remain like this. One war with Pakistan can WASH AWAY all economic development of Indian and Pakistan will suffer in same way ... Thats the fact. No one will be Ever Ever Ever winner of the war.
In the absence of people to people contact between Pakistan and India, such apps can only help create and foster understanding. The comment sections in the newspapers of the two countries also play a similar role. To begin with if people on both sides of the border are polite and respectful of each other, that is a good first step.
The national narratives of both the countries are irreconcilable. One is exclusive and the other inclusive. What has happened in the past can not be undone. The best option left is for the countries to come together under SAARC.
@Anshul Here we say (sone ki chiriya) no much difference in writing. Thinking is the same, we want friendly relationship, free movement.
There are no common grounds between pakistan and india - partition happened eons ago and since then we have traversed different paths! why waste time looking for something that is not there?
Good Idea. I would say that we should learn to remain what we are - no need to make other muslim or hindu- and finding ways and means to coexist and love each other as neighbor and friend.
Great job. I have two dreams, 1. to see my country Pakistan as a secular nation and then 2.unification of India and Pakistan. Hope, Allah makes them true.
@Mohammed its because of people like you who will always find a way to drag things back. I feel sorry for our poor countrymen
Berlin wall was broken down not by the politicians and military but by the People. Never under estimate the power of people. Let's hope both countries progress prosper peacefully.
The strange thing is radical organisations in India demand for akhand bhaarat means a country of Pakistan.. Hindustan.. And Bangladesh together.
@MyTake true cuz pakistanis and indians are genetically different except for somemuhajirs but that doesn't mean that we should keep on fighting and yea the government will start a problem
@karachi Wally ...your idea is amazing...I also think abt it..may god bless u
If it happens like what u r expecting, where both sides politics will go.....?????
@Sandeep Singh - Look up the meaning of "Sovereign nation".
There is so much that unites us. Language, Culture, Passion, facial and physical similarities. Good initiative, God bless both!!

Bathroom remodeling ideas is very tricky and as well hard to put down on building designs. The basic difficulty which interrupts the progress of work is the price.
Although most of us would truly love to have our bathroom remodeled into into our ambition bathroom, it sometimes is just not imaginable with the budget at hand.
Hence, in this article I've included some very simple and yet low-cost set of bathroom remodeling ideas that are wallet friendly, though some of the later ones are rather costly, which you are able to implement as a part of your dream bathroom.
You can find great bathroom remodeling ideas by visiting new houses for sale nearby to find out what the constructors/renovators have done. Constructors not only use elegant designs and materials but they also pay attention to price tags in order to ensure a good return on their investing.
You can also get many bathroom remodeling ideas from various home remodeling mags.
At that place are several ideas that you can consider on the subject of small bathroom remodeling. These are some of the actual ideas that you can consider while remodeling your bathroom.
The 1st thing that I prefer to suggest when it comes to bathroom remodeling ideas for small bathrooms is that, never cramp up a small bathroom with unnecessary and impractical appliances.
The best thing that you are able to implement while remodeling your bathroom installing smaller and simpler versions of sinks, bathroom mirrors and a shower stall. The basic advantage of reducing the size of the accessories is that you get a lot of space in the bath to move around in.
Making easy small bathroom remodel ideas as well proves to be extremely helpful. Hence, try out some simple amendments such as, changing only the hardware of the bathroom or repainting some portions of the bathrooms, which happens to be an excellent small bathroom makeover idea.
In as is way you are able to also have your small bathroom remodeled by changing the tiles in the bathroom.
For many of us, it could be tricky to afford to enact all of their bathroom remodeling ideas at the same time. All the same, a authoritative plan on the order in which the roles are done will have to be invented to make sure it can flow together. To do this, the complete project will have to be planned to identify which can be done individually and which need to be done together.
Flooring is a major undertaking in some bathrooms and if, after the floor is installed the home owner decides of different cabinets, the flooring may not match as well.
When sketching out the bathroom remodeling ideas confirm all the items that matter will be available when the next phase begins. This can lead to problems, but leaving some of the plans open to change can still make it possible.

I am a PROUD spouse of an U.S. Army Soldier! Our family has been stationed at Wheeler Army Airfield in Central O'ahu, Hawaii for over 10 years. We have loved our stay here so much that we plan on remaining here after the Army "commitment" comes to an end.
I am also a daughter of a career Army Special Forces Soldier. I was born into the Army way of life, left it for awhile and eventually returned to it when my husband decided he also wanted to serve. I am completely accustomed to this lifestyle, It is what I know and over time, I have learned to respect it as well.
Living this life has taught our family to have more patience, tolerance and loyalty to the country we love so much. We also have learned skills to adapt in all sorts of situations; more quickly when duty separates the family for an extended period of time. In the post 9/11 years, separation has happened more frequently than we have ever expected and it is an on-going process to adjust our personal lives for the sake of the Army's overall mission.
How does this connection to the military apply to my real estate practice? Ninety percent of my business on O'ahu have been working with the military community. I am finding that my personal experiences are assisting other military families like ours whether they are searching for their island home or wanting to sell it. With each family I work with, their personal real estate experience are also benefiting others. There is no doubt that military families are unique, and they come with a unique set of challenges!

Tobacco consumption poses real and serious risks to health, so our research and development activities are principally focused on better understanding the harm caused by tobacco use and working to develop potentially less harmful products.
The science involved in this work is complex, extremely challenging and spans many scientific disciplines. We have significantly expanded our research capabilities over the past few years to reflect the importance we place on work in this area. We are also committed to seeking guidance from independent scientific and regulatory bodies
Some organisations concerned about smoking and health are sceptical about our approach and our motives, but some critics of the tobacco industry are now supporting the objective of being able to offer adult consumers a range of tobacco products both acceptable to them and recognised by independent scientists and regulators as posing reduced risks to health.
We also have a science website , written by scientists for scientists with an interest in tobacco-related research or related disciplines.

We found Brendan and Sissel's company via a vague and very long-distance recommendation, and have never looked back. They listened intently to our requirements and packaged a week of the whole experience: transfers, accommodation, food, mountain guides, equipment, passes, a variety of experiences, etc, etc, etc. Everything worked to the minute and we now have a superb week to remember for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend you empower Brendan and Sissel with your highest expectations and entrust them with your money.

Competition between Australia's biggest internet providers is heating up with Telstra launching cheaper broadband plans with more added features that could reduce its profits.
Telstra on Tuesday will start selling new broadband bundles that offer cheaper internet and Foxtel Pay TV services as part of a package. Where Telstra users previously paid $130 per month on a two-year contract for a 200 gigabyte plan with Foxtel services, the same plan will now cost $109 per month – a 16 per cent discount.
Telstra will also launch a commercial version of its national Wi-Fi hotspot network, which has been rebranded as Telstra Air. The only customers able to use it free of charge are existing broadband subscribers who offer to turn their own home networks into a hotspot.
But while customers will welcome the lower prices and bigger inclusions, shareholders could be less enthused. The new prices could result in lower average revenues per user and smaller profit margins thanks to rising competition.
For the first time the company will also offer 1 terabyte plans, equivalent to 1000 gigabytes, for $149 per month. It has also eliminated a 100GB plan that will force some users to pay more to upgrade to Telstra's pricier 200GB plans or get cheaper 50GB options.
Telstra's move is likely, partly, in response to Singtel-Optus' aggressive move to offer cheaper services that came with internet television provider Fetch TV and free subscriptions to video streaming service Netflix.
Those packages have allowed Optus to turn around its stalled fixed-line internet division and increase the number of broadband customers from 1.014 million users in December 2014 to 1.032 million as of March 2015.
Telstra was forced to sacrifice earnings to make similar concessions in its mobile phone business earlier this year because of discounts and data boosts from Optus and Vodafone Hutchison Australia.
That move led to Telstra's now-chief financial officer Warwick Bray to warn of potential cuts the the average revenue earned per user.
"On ARPUs it is early days but the recent change in competitive dynamics may have some impact," Mr Bray said at the time. "We've previously talked about EBITDA margins around the high 30 [per cent] and there's no change to that today."
The prices are still higher than those of Telstra's rivals, Optus and TPG Telecom. But Telstra's Group managing director of consumer and products, Karsten Wildberger, said he was confident it would win over new customers.
"I'm personally very, very confident that our customers will like it," he said. "As of Tuesday we will have a differentiator [in Telstra Air] that others don't have, which we are very excited about.
"We hope with those new offers … we will get even more new customers and our existing customers will stay longer with us and that's what is behind it."
Telstra Air aims to get two million hotspots up and running throughout the country over the next five years. Non-Telstra users can buy access to the service through its Spain-based partner, Fon.
The company's initial hotspot trial, using converted payphones, saw 1.5 million people use its free Wi-Fi hotspots to download 500 terabytes – or 500,000 gigabytes – of data.
The telco giant has previously been able to use its ownership of copper phone networks and infrastructure investments to dominate the mobile and fixed-line markets. But its rivals have spent billions of dollars catching up and the $41 billion national broadband network is designed to level the industry's playing field for everyone.
This will force Telstra to become far more competitive at the cost of its long-term profitability – a key reason why the company was paid $11.2 billion in compensation by the Federal Government to lease its copper network for the NBN.
