10 things you should do before you to a trip
Today I just returned from a family trip. A holiday in a village. This family trip lasted just under a week. I left Monday, and returned Friday. I know, a REAL week long trip has you leaving Sunday and returning Friday, but this was long enough to make a few observations. When you go on a trip, especially, but not exclusively for business; a few things happen. You aren't yourself. What you are is an Adult. Kids don't travel for business, not unless they are Miley Cyrus. It all involves planning ahead. Something most of us try to not waste time with.
Get organized:
Even the most scatterbrained of us have to remember 2 things when we are traveling. Where are our 'papers'. In the World war II movies, the Germans would always ask in that all too suspicious tone…'Papers'. It never seemed to work though because the spy's always had their papers and as they said 'Everything is in order'. In the business travelers real world, there are no forgeries that don't land you in a lot of trouble for a long time. You have to deal with your boarding pass for your flight, and your ID. The ID part you only need when you are entering the boarding area of the Airport and go through security screening. The boarding passes on the other hand will require 1 per leg of your journey. Going there is usually the easiest of the two. Coming back is another story. You STILL have to have these things on your person to get back home! So we all devise a sort of organization that dictates where we will put our papers even though the rest of our life could be a complete disorganized mess.
2. Emergency Food:
When you travel, it often happens that your flight will be delayed, or canceled. In such cases, you can of course go to any number of overpriced eateries/pubs located throughout the airport concourse that will offer food and drink. If you are on a budget or don't have the time you KNOW you won't be able to count on the flight for any form of sustenance. Usually I bring a sleeve of RITZ crackers (everything tastes great when it sitz on a ritz) and a box of some form of candy. I can't tell you how often I've fallen back on this bit of miniature preparation.
3. Dress Stupidly:
This is what I don't get. You know that thanks to some bunch of zealot Idiot individuals, we all have to go through flight screening. This is because it's OH so bad to profile bad people. Why? well I guess because they are offended at the possibility of being caught. Israel uses profiling extensively and you know how many incidents have happened for them? You guessed it. If you happen to fit the profile, that's a problem for you certainly, but on the other hand, that's the price of security. So anyway, when you get the security screen thing happening, you must empty ALL contents of your pockets onto a scanning tray as well as your shoes and a belt and anything else metal.
Then you walk through the scanner that takes a picture of you naked (not really naked, more like a black and while special effects scan of you naked, but who cares. They don't really have time to look at you with anything in their brains other than 'nope doesn't look like she's carrying a gun either, NEXT'). So finally to the part I really don't get. These IDIOTS in business suits that get on planes. They have full belts and tied shoes and probably a little bit of something in EVERY pocket. The ONLY way to fly is with a fanny pack holding everything you've got, sweat pants and slip on shoes. Makes that security line a breeze. Sure you aren't dressing for success, but success doesn't really find you in the middle of the air port, and you can always pack other pants in your carry on.
4. Bring a paperback book:
I love my electronic gizmos. just love em. They do everything you know. Now they even have those electronic books with the electronic INK that doesn't look like a monitor but looks more like a printed page. It's amazing. Oh but there are all these whiny people going on about how they like the FEEL of their book or see how many pages they have left or any number of other curmudgeonly reasons to not completely embrace the new technology. I see the image of old man Crandall shaking his cane at them 'whipersnappers' complaining about the damage done to his mulberry bushes. Well, all you technology-snubbing hoity toitys now have a legitimate excuse. On international flights, they are going to make you shut everything off for one hour before landing. Like this is going to help with ANYTHING. As it is, no music player, no video contraption, no nothing. Well, best bust out that Danielle Steele pulp you've been waiting to sink your teeth into in all it's musty Random House glory.
5. Bring power strips!:
For some reason, there is rarely enough power provided to today's busy traveler. All the power blocks we have for our gobs of gadgetry usually take up at least 2 if not 3 standard power plugs. I have a 3 way splitter (those big orange blocky ones with the ground) that I always carry with me. It is just enough to do the job and I know I will be able to use all 3 plugs for the price of one.
6. Look at your extras:
There are extras in the made for tv movie that is your life. You see them every day, but they really play a more important role in an airport. You don't know it, but one of these people will probably be seated next to you. Is it that gentleman that looks like he has a million stories to tell and each one is JUST as interesting as the last? Or perhaps it's that enterprising young lad that has the 32 Gig Ipod with overdrive headphones that might be unaware that it is only noise canceling to him? Maybe that fussy woman that looks like she might have an incontinence problem? The other thing to notice is that on TV all of the background people are pretty good looking. Contrast that with the aggregate view from the airport gate lounge. Contrast indeed. It appears they hired the same group of extras to be present at the filming of the DMV scene of your life story.
7. Don't trust ANYONE:
After enough trips to the theater most people get a healthy respect for the tourist/business traveler getting the flim flam. As a result, the savvy business traveler ends up trusting very few people. This is most evident when they are walking down the street. You see them sizing up everyone they see. Wanna have some fun? look for a out of town business type and just bump up against them and then walk the other way quickly. Be prepared to run though. If they don't run after you, watch them, they will check for their wallet. It's funny.
8. Diet? What Diet?!:
When you are traveling on the company dime for some reason your expense report takes over your common sense in menu. Expense report food is expensive both in cost as well as in calorie. Especially if you are on receipt report. You feel obliged to eat at every meal because you are forced to if you want to use your benefit. You start eating breakfasts that would cover your entire daily caloric intake. Of course if you want to reverse this, just get your company to give you a total per-diem for the trip keep what you don't spend and all of the sudden you are eating your breakfast bagel well into dinner time. Plus you get to keep extra change for souvenirs.
9. Seat belts? are you Serious?:
At what point did the FAbA decide that there are still some people somewhere that don't know how to operate a safety belt? Didn't everyone on the plane just have to get through security? Which is more difficult? Getting through that security screen? or putting a metal tab into the buckle and then lifting on the buckle to release. Incidentally this comes about for the same reason that it's still illegal to bathe in the wintertime in Indiana. It may have been a law on the books at one time, but nobody ever decided to legislatively take it off the books, so even though nobody enforces the law, they still have record of it. The FAA has had that same song and dance on the books for airlines to follow and they aren't in the mood to actually go through and change it.
10. Don't go with full bags:
If you are a light traveler like me, you never ever check a bag. You just jam it in your carry on and your 'book bag'. Here is the problem, when you come back you are going to have a few extra pounds of things in your bags to take back as well as the stuff you came with. You gotta get some chotchkies for the kids from the exotic city of Cleveland. So make sure you have a little extra room in the case to fit the other stuff you bought. You will thank yourself.

About The Book
DOYLESTOWN, PA - Inside Review is proud to present A Bucks County State of Mind... in his words - a tribute to the late Bucks County journalist Bruce B. Blackburn III, the people he profiled, and his legacy to everyone who knew him.
According to Marie. Izzo, Mr. Blackburn's wife, "This commemorative book includes 40 profiles Bruce wrote in a ten-year period. I chose the profiles of those I feel touched his heart, just as he touched theirs. The book also offers a slice of history in Bucks County and a glimpse into the region's thriving arts and cultural community."
Mr. Blackburn wrote, "Anyone who knows Bucks County, PA, knows of its rich artistic heritage. Author James Michener called the broad swath of territory along the Delaware River Valley between Doylestown, PA and Lambertville, NJ 'the Genius Belt'—a reference to the remarkable density of original creative talent the region has spawned throughout the 20th century. Songwriters, authors, woodworkers, playwrights, painters, sculptors . . . so fertile has Bucks County been, it's almost impossible to keep track of the prolific people and their accomplishments." Almost, until now...
The book features remarkable profiles of distinguished artists, past and present including:
Ed Adams, Frank Arcuri, Anthony Michael Autorino, Laura T. Barnes, Robert A. Beck, Irving Berlin by David Leopold, Doris Brandes, Merle Citron, Anne Cooper Dobbins, Derek Fell, Alan Fetterman, John Franklin, aka Johnny Dock, Tom Galbraith & Cindy Wuthrich, Michael Graves, Gordon Haas, Al Hirschfeld, Kat Mojzesz & Don Hayes, Bob Krist, Jan Lipes, Pat Martin, Ron Labno aka Omar, Onofrio Paccione, Dick Perez, Phillip Lloyd Powell, Jack Rosen, Lilly Salvatore, Ashby Saunders, Herman Silverman, Dusty Simi & Mel Stein, Rusty Thomas, Bernard Ungerleider, Annelies van Dommelen, Len Ventresca, and Foster Winans.
Says acclaimed New Hope artist Jan Lipes, "Gentle, earnest, dedicated and intense, Bruce Blackburn wrote stories about people that unerringly captured the essence of their personalities and the work they loved. As a writer, his questions were probing and his prose elegant as he demonstrated his superior skills in the art of talking to people."
A Bucks County State of Mind...in his words contains 40 profiles, over 150 pictures, 208 pages in a 9 x 9 format with the cover featuring a painting of Mr. Blackburn by Bucks County's renowned artist Robert A. Beck.

Why am I here? What is my life for? How can I truly make a difference at this stage of my life? I think most of us have asked ourselves these questions at one point or another. But let me tell you this right now, no matter what you may be working on changing or struggling with personally, you matter. You matter to every single person you encounter every day! You are in this life for a reason. The fact that you woke up this morning means your life has purpose and meaning in this moment and your work here is not done.
Has anyone ever said something to you that only took a second, but lasted a lifetime? Let me tell you a couple of recent encounters I had that will give you examples of what I mean and how you never know from day to day how much you can impact and influence others in a positive way.
My husband and I flew to MN for our son's wedding a couple weekends ago. We stayed at my sister's home for part of our visit and she asked if I would go with her to her private Pilate's class. I jumped at the chance as I used to teach the mat version of Pilates at the Y about 15 years ago. This version was the reformer Pilates which I had never done. It was also a chance to see the instructor, someone I used to know back then, so I was excited.
We arrived at her home and before we began she shared with me how she came to having her own Pilates business. Apparently (I did not recall this conversation) we were at a Y workshop for something and we were eating lunch at Applebees afterwards. She said I told her about my new passion, Pilates, and how it works with the breath and conditions the core. She said she credits that conversation with going on to pursue her Pilates passion and continuing to do what she loves today. This is just one example of how you never know how much you influence others without even knowing it. We were in that time and place together for a reason.
On that same trip, we stopped to visit a good friend of mine who I haven't seen for many years. She has been following my work, reading my blogs and had taken my 10 Day Whole Person Detox Challenge. She said she hoped I was very successful because of how much I am helping others with the research and depth of my sharing. I was touched and encouraged to keep going, especially now as I am re-starting my coaching practice. Even though I expressed my appreciation, I don't think she realized just how much that meant to me and continues to sustain me as I work to build my business.
So the take away here is probably pretty obvious by now. You, being here on the planet right now, is by design. You may still have lessons to learn or challenges to overcome, but you can still make a positive difference for someone else, whether it's a friend, family member or even a stranger today.
It's the genuine compliments and encouragement you give to others, your passions shared, your kindness, your smiles, and your love. You may not be fully conscious of the impact you are making at the time, but your input or kind comments may matter to that person in a much bigger way than you may ever realize.

For Boston takes it name from the fight song of Craig Finn's Alma Mater Boston College.
It's poison -- first it feels like a prick and then it hits you like a jumbo jet.
It's heaven, and heaven is a place you can never find your cigarettes.
For Boston, shamrock shakes and Oxycontin.
Bob Cousy, when they say they're looking around for the O.C. they ain't talking about the TV.
Some townie, he's got a diamond wrapped up in a dishtowel and he's trying to do a deal with me,
and he's skittish like a centipede.
He's got a steak knife in his jacket sleeve.
For Boston, shamrock shakes and Oxycontin.
For Boston, you can find it at the corner of the Commons right by Downtown Crossing.
These girls at BU they all do it too.
They lie down on Lansdowne, they lose their left shoes.

She stumbled down Lansdowne, she lost her left shoe,

You just want it to end.

she despises her friends,
and when you get her back to housing,
she asks if you want to come in and get pinned.

Prague's Golden Lane and its golden heroes
Kveta Zrustova, 91, can clearly recall the spring day in 1938 when she entered a tiny house in Prague's famed Golden Lane to ask advice from the fortune teller Madame de Thebes.
"I was scared stiff. She was sitting in the corner with a cat on her shoulder," said Zrustova, who was 18 and wanted to know how her school exams would go.
Madame de Thebes, who later died during interrogation by the Nazis after predicting the fall of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, was just one of the colourful real-life residents of the historic street.
Closed since early 2010, the revamped Golden Lane at Prague Castle, which is one of the city's top tourist draws, reopened at the start of June and aims to give visitors a glimpse into the lives of the people who once made it their home.
Most of the 20 tiny houses lining the street have been transformed into small museums, detailing the lives of their former residents.
"The goal is to show visitors the dwellings of ordinary people who lived and worked here, as if they had just left their homes," said historian Pavel Jiras, the man behind the transformation.
The houses were built under the arches of the castle fortifications on the basis of a decree issued by German Emperor and Czech King Rudolph II (1552-1612).
"A seamstress, a herbal doctor, a goldsmith ... each house has its own history," said Jiras.
"There's also a great beauty in the humble lives of those people ... a mysterious magic which is in stark contrast to our aggressive and cruel era," he added.
Contrary to popular legend, tirelessly relayed by tourist guides, the alley never served as an address for alchemists employed by Rudolph II to try to transform lead into gold.
Famous inhabitants of the Golden Lane have included Franz Kafka (1883-1924), the Prague-born Jewish author writing in German, who sought inspiration here from 1916 to 1917.
"In the house at number 22, Kafka wrote the narrative that appears in the short story A Country Doctor," says Gabriela Cinkova, manager of a bookshop now located there.
"What many people don't know is the fact that Kafka was also an illustrator," she added, pointing at a small book with drawings by the writer, lying next to his famous novels Amerika: The Missing Person, The Trial and The Castle.
Number 12 was home to historian Josef Kazda, who saved thousands of Czech films from destruction by the Nazis.
Number 15 has been revamped as a goldsmith's house in memory of the scores of goldsmiths who lived in the street, which over the centuries was also called the Goldsmiths' Lane.
"You can see a real goldsmith's workshop there with all the necessary tools," said Frantisek Kadlec, head of the tourism department at Prague Castle.
The tools are a gift from a Czech family who heard a radio report on the revamp and decided to donate the instruments they inherited from a family member who died in 2009, he added.
The house at number 26, formerly the home and workshop of a seamstress, also displays a photo of her lover in an Austrian army uniform, taken before he was killed in World War I.
The last residents had to leave the Golden Lane shortly after the communists took power in former Czechoslovakia in 1948.
The totalitarian regime was toppled in 1989, and four years later the country split peacefully into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
With the advent of capitalism, critics charged the lane had become an overly commercialised tourist trap.
Ivo Velisek, head of the administration office at Prague Castle, insists the Golden Lane is now better than ever after its most extensive revamp in memory.
"For a long time, we had two permanent residents here: a couple of tawny owls. They left five years ago, maybe they felt something wasn't working here," said Velisek.
"But they came back in the spring as if to tell us: the Golden Lane has been reborn," he added with a smile.

Have you taken a look at your donor reactivation strategy and content lately? If you're sending donors the same thing over and over — acquisition package, reinstatement message, campaign email, newsletters — and they aren't responding, it's time to revisit your strategy.Unlike direct mail, innovations in online journey-based marketing — and the immediacy of performance metrics — allow for organizations to test bold concepts and tactics to deliver big results. It's a game changing model.
According to Bloomerang and based on research by Adrian Sargeant, 67% of donors leave because they were never thanked, had no recollection of donating to your organization and then gave to an organization they felt was more deserving. Ouch...All indicators of poor relationship development.
The commercial sector is leveraging data and new technologies to deliver high-results and game changing programs:
- Through ads and emails, Ann Taylor, the women's clothing retailer, reminds website shoppers of items left in their abandoned cart. Delivering ads with the items left in the cart (that yellow dress is difficult to ignore!) and emails reminding the customer that "the dress you want is waiting for you", the potential customer is reminded to complete the transaction.
- Starbucks is able to deliver push notifications on mobile based on your geolocation, making sure you know you're close to one of their stores. Their advertising efforts are even able to register when you're within close proximity of one of their competitors. The technique, known as geo-fencing, allows you to customize offers, creative and more based on data from your mobile device.
These technologies can — and are — being used to produce high-results for nonprofits as well.
So what's at play here and what steps can you follow to improve your program?
Step #1: Plan the journey.
Your old way of communicating isn't working, so you need to plan out the new journey to rebuild trust and motivate giving. The infographic above compares the roadmap for a Causemo produced multi-channel campaign, to the increasingly less productive traditional method.
Step #2: Find What Your Supporters Care About
Learn what your supporters care about using digital interest data available from an ever increasing number of sources, as well as your own click data. Tracking this valuable information back to the messages being delivered across platforms to the constituent will lead to engagement and conversions. Then, explore where your supporters are spending time online: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and media sites. Done right, this research can reveal where to align both your ad spend and email outreach to get your message through.
Step #3: Re-build Trust
Provide these donors with content that is meaningful to them. Is it providing supplies for kids to go back to school? Is it contacting Congress about an upcoming vote? Build trust by engaging your lapsed donors in an action that demonstrates the value of their involvement. Once they're engaged, follow-up with a series of emails to share the impact of the donor's actions. For example, an effective impact statement could be: "Thanks to you, we were able to provide 100 kids with backpacks filled with school supplies," or "With your help, our volunteers delivered 500 letters to Senator Smith, yours included!".
Step #4: Make the Ask Relevant
Now that the lapsed donor is engaged once again and you know what they're interested in, tailor a future fundraising ask that addresses what you're able to do with the donor's support. No more generic prospecting packages. Instead, implement personalized and meaningful asks to support what they care about.
Step #5: Thank, Thank, and Follow up.
Digital channels allow you to personalize the Thank You stream. So, use them. Follow-up on the donor's gift with a series of tailored messages to reinforce their impact. Differentiate their experience with you by showing them you know they expressed their values through a donation to you. Prove that you "get them" and value them.
As part of the journey, it's valuable to schedule stewardship emails within a month of when the donor made a gift to let them know how their gift has been used and what you've been able to accomplish thanks to their generosity.
And, if a donor clicks on a video, schedule an email or post that includes a video — the donor is indicating how they are accessing information. Use it to drive the journey. And don't let up. Remind donors consistently of the impact they've helped make thanks to their gift.
Journey-based marketing makes better use of data and automation to drive a more productive reinstatement strategy for valuable audiences. Utilizing new innovations in technology and leveraging user behaviors helps reduce the "churn and burn" many organizations suffer when they try to apply a "one size fits all" strategy to valuable donors.

Milford – Rush-Hour Highway Accident
A rush-hour crash occurred on the highway in Milford yesterday.
At around 5:35 p.m., state and local authorities were alerted to a crash on the southbound lanes of I-95. Emergency crews were dispatched to an area about a fifth of a mile before Exit 39B (Boston Post Road/Route 1) and discovered a still-unspecified number of vehicles involved in a crash that resulted in injuries. The crash site was quickly cordoned off while medical teams assisted motorists involved in the incident. All lanes were eventually cleared about half an hour later. No identities have been disclosed yet as the incident is still under investigation. This post will be updated as soon as officials release more information.
As should always be the case, accident sites are blocked off to allow authorities to do their work and assist people safely. An important part of this process is allowing crash investigators to collect evidence so that liability can be accurately established. This is important to everyone: allowing officials to bring suspects to justice and giving victims the option of filing for damages if deemed a suitable course of action by legal experts.
If you or someone you care about was injured in an accident, you may need help navigating the complex challenges of paying for your medical bills, recouping your lost wages, and regaining your quality of life. The Connecticut attorneys with Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers can help you through this process, working to hold the responsible party accountable for the pain and suffering you have had to endure. Call 800-PERKINS for a free consultation with a lawyer today.Note: Our blog reports on a variety of sensitive stories with the goal of raising awareness of accidents and the repercussions they can have. We use real news articles as our sources. Should a story be updated or a post on our site be inaccurate, please let us know so we can update our post.

Ramdung Peak Climbing
Ramdung Peak (5930m) is situated south of the Tesilabtsa pass, which borders Khumbu and the immense Rolwaling valley. Crossing the pass into the remote valley of Rolwaling takes you to the rarely climbed peak of Ramdung. Your climb to this 'hidden peak' of the Himalayan wilderness begins with a trek into the Rolwaling valley, just recently opened to trekkers. You first make an ascent up lower Ramdung, which, despite its lack of height compared to Parchamo, offers a challenging climb, requiring two high camps on the northeast face route.
This trek is strenuous; therefore a high level of physical fitness is essential. A strong sense of adventure, and the willingness to walk 8 to 9 hours a day, often at high altitudes adds to the excitement. A basic knowledge of mountain climbing is an advantage, although our experienced Sherpa guides will guide and accompany you to the top.
Following the trekking glacier, you arrive near the Tesilabtsa pass and prepare for the climb to Parchamo and establishing a high camp. Climbing Parchamo, following its northwest ridge leads on to Ramdung summit. After the summit, you trek through the famous Sherpa country of Khumbu, ending your trip in Lukla, from where you will board a plane to come back to Kathmandu.

It's no secret that anxiety is the worst and also not a secret that I definitely struggle, but I don't like to talk about it without a reason to.
For me personally, I feel like I'm in GREAT mental health and still, anxiety comes in all shapes and sizes:
I get it about my career, I had it when I was in school, about my relationships (I feel bad if I don't talk to someone enough), about where I'm going in life, before a launch, and sometimes even about how I look. Some days, it's about nothing at all.
The reason I'm sharing this isn't to go into details on my personal life, but to remind you guys that anxiety isn't something you can always control and it can get you in a bad place no matter what it's about.
I've done the basics (and you should too): meditate, eat healthy, move, get help, work on yourself always.
After feeling good with my efforts in those areas, I was still kind of curious about natural anxiety relief. Even when you have a "good" awareness around your anxiety, your body can still react to it while you try and calm yourself down. This is where your heart rate goes up, you get a pit in your stomach, you may even feel light or nauseous.
I'm a BIG believer that nature provides us with so many powerful relaxants, so I wanted any anxiety relief I took to be natural.
Which brings me to alll of your questions & DM's whenever I post about this: Ashwaghanda.
Here's what it is:
Ashwaghanda is a natural supplement with properties that enhance your mental state, mood, promote relaxation in your body, and help with other issues like adrenal fatigue. It's made with ayurvedic herbs which (if you don't know) promote your body returning to it's natural state of relaxation. The capsules I take are meant to be taken daily (3 pills per serving) and are vegan-safe and third party tested.
Why I chose this one:
I have NOT taken any other brand of Ashwaghanda other than this simply because I feel great on it and I feel good about what's in it. Someone close to me tried this out before I did and we saw the best results, so I felt like it was safe for me to try out. I like how it makes me feel, which is obviously the most important part.
Normally, with anxiety, I feel it very clearly in my body. After taking Ashwaghanda consistently, it's a subtle but VERY real shift that I can only explain like this: the thoughts that give you anxiety are still there, but your body is more relaxed and calm, which helps you think more clearly. I still get anxious, but my body responds in a much more positive & relaxed way. I like having the freedom and relaxation to think through whatever is making me anxious, which helps avoid something more serious like a breakdown.
People have asked me about side effects and I haven't experienced any. No digestive issues, no odd mental side effects, nothing like that.
Obviously this is a personal choice between you and your doctor, but this post isn't sponsored or promoted. I really just have seen awesome results in my mental health and I know you guys have been asking me to tell you the full story past what I post on IG.
If you want to try some out for yourself, order some here and let me know how you like it. It's cheap & lasts a month.
Do you have any questions I didn't answer here? Should I post more about mental health? LMK my loves, I'm happy to share what you want.
If you're on a roll here, don't forget to eat for your best mental health too – everything I know is right here.
Enjoy your day & PLEASE let me know if these help you out.
XO – Lupe

Paweł Bogdan Adamowicz was the Lord Mayor of Gdansk, a former member of the leftist PO (Platforma Obywatelska) and a promotor of LGBT movements. That made him the darling of the system. His public assassination in Gdansk is therefore not a purely Polish matter. The political system will use his assassination to give national movements in Poland and in Western Europe a black eye.
The assassination of Adamowicz was not politically organized !!!
You, my readers, should know that Paweł Adamowicz was murdered by a prisoner who had been released from prison a few weeks earlier. He was not politically organized.

Ophir Begins Gabon and Tanzania Operations, Bags Myanmar Licence
Ophir Energy plc has been provisionally awarded a block in the Myanmar offshore licensing round. Separately, drilling operations have now commenced on both the Affanga Deep-1 well on the Gnondo Block, offshore Gabon and the Taachui well on Block 1, offshore Tanzania.
Nick Cooper, CEO, commented: "We are delighted to have been provisionally awarded this new offshore licence in Myanmar where the licensing round was highly competitive with several Major oil companies being awarded blocks adjacent to ours. Whilst this is our first licence award outside of Africa it is in keeping with our strategy of focusing on acquiring deepwater acreage with large footprints and significant running room. Meanwhile, the 2014 drilling programme continues with the Affanga Deep and Taachui wells and we look forward to the remainder of the year where several further wells are planned on our acreage in both West and East Africa."
Myanmar licence award Ophir has been provisionally awarded a 95% operated interest in deepwater Block AD-03 offshore Myanmar as part of the current licensing round. The award is subject to finalisation of a Production Sharing Contract with the Ministry of Energy. The Block is approximately 10,000 km2 in size and is located in the Rakhine basin, on trend with the multi-TCF Shwe gas field. The initial exploration period will see Ophir re-process existing 2D seismic and acquire 3D seismic data.
The Affanga Deep-1 well being drilled by the Vantage Titanium Explorer drillship is targeting an extension to the proven Ogooué Delta play offshore Gabon with gross mean pre-drill recoverable resource estimates of 170 mmbbl. Success would derisk several follow-on prospects which could be integrated into a hub development. The well commenced operations on 22 March 2014 and has a planned Total Depth of approximately 4,500m True Vertical Depth Sub Sea ("TVDSS"). It is expected to take approximately 35 days to complete. Ophir has a 70% operated interest in the Block. On completion of the well, the rig will move to the Mbeli Block in Gabon to drill the Okala pre-salt prospect.
The Taachui well is being drilled by the Deepsea Metro 1 drillship on a prospect on the north-west margin of Block 1, Tanzania. It is targeting gross mean pre-drill recoverable resource estimates of 1.4 TCF in reservoirs of Cretaceous age. The well commenced operations on 24 March 2014 and has a planned Total Depth of approximately 4,050m TVDSS. It is expected to take approximately 55 days to complete. Ophir has a 20% non-operated interest in Block 1 operated by BG Group.

Retiree spending habits boost national economy
Private-defined benefit pension plans continue to disappear but even as they dwindle, the National Institute on Retirement Security's Pensionomics 2016 report shows that they still have quite a ripple effect on the U.S. economy.
"Over 24 million American retirees receive benefits from pension plans. In 2014, they received over a half trillion dollars in benefit payments in that year," says Diane Oakley, executive director for the National Institute on Retirement Security.
"Retirees with reliable pensions can maintain spending regardless of the ups and downs in the economy. They act as an economic stabilizer," she says.
The U.S. saw that particularly between 2009, at the heart of the Great Recession, and 2012, when the country began coming out of it.
Also see: "Employers need to communicate benefits to attract jobseekers"
According to NIRS, expenditures by retirees receiving public and private DB pension benefits generated $1.2 trillion in economic output nationwide in 2014.
"Given that our economy at the end of 2014 was a little bit over $17 trillion and consumer spending in the economy generated about $12 trillion of economic activity, what we clearly can see is spending from retirees was about 10% of the consumer-driven economy," she says.
The long life of retirement
The report also found that retirees who received a pension supported 7.1 million jobs that paid $354.8 billion with their spending habits, which is about half the level of jobs replaced in the economy since the Great Recession ended.
NIRS asserts that for every dollar that retirees spent, $2.21 was generated in total economic output nationally. Each taxpayer dollar contributed to state and local pensions supported $9.19 in total output nationally.
See also: "Research paints bleak picture of employee finances"
Having that guaranteed form of income in retirement means that retirees aren't just sitting home doing nothing. They are out spending that money, which benefits every state and local economy across the country, according to the report. Retirees take their pension check and purchase goods and services in the local community, like food, clothing and medicine. They also support a booming real estate market across the country.
"In short, pension spending supports the economy and jobs where retirees reside and spend their benefits," the report states. "Pension expenditures may be especially vital to small or rural communities, where other steady sources of income may not be readily found if the local economy lacks diversity," NIRS says.
Jennifer Brown, author of the NIRS report and manager of research at NIRS, points out that in 2014, the average annual pension benefit was $21,413. Overall, public and private pensions paid out $519.7 billion in benefits in 2014.
Of that, $187.9 billion came from private sector pension plans; $253 billion came from state and local pension plans; and $78.8 billion came from federal pension plans.
"That is a significant amount of money poured into the economy and spent locally," Brown says.
Private pension plans are organized differently than public pensions. In state and local government pension plans, both the employee and employer contribute to the retirement plan. In private pensions, the plans are typically funded by the employer.
"In requiring that employees share the cost of their pension, public plans are similar to the approach adopted in 401(k) plans where private sector employees contribute to their accounts," NIRS says.
But DB pensions differ from DC plans in that they "provide broad-based coverage, secure money for retirement, a lifetime income, and special protections for spouses," NIRS find.
Those 24 million retirees who received pension benefits in 2014 spend more than 30% of their household resources in retirement on housing costs, Oakley says. Their spending generated almost 400,000 real estate industry jobs nationwide.
The trend from defined benefit pension plans to defined contribution plans in the private sector is just starting to be felt in the industry, Oakley says. There was a 600,000 retiree decrease in the number of retirees receiving benefits from private sector DB plans in 2014. Part of that can be attributed to retirees who pass on and are no longer receiving a benefit. They are also not being replaced by others who receive a private DB pension plan, adds Oakley.
Many private large corporations have frozen their defined benefit plans or have closed them entirely, giving retirees the choice between taking a lifetime annuity or a lump sum payment. The number of companies de-risking their pension plans is rising as interest rates go up and the stock market has rebounded. Those market conditions make it cheaper for a company to offload volatile pension plans from their books.

Mergers and acquisitions – Financial due diligence
31 March 2016
In the context of mergers and acquisitions the due diligence process covers a wide range of areas including operations, legal and financial matters. The extent of procedures required under each area is dependent upon the nature of the actual transaction.
So what needs to be done, why, when and how?
What is a financial due diligence review? Financial due diligence is not an audit. An audit is concerned with historical financial statements only and provides an opinion as to whether the financial statements represent a 'true and fair' view of the company's operations. A financial due diligence, on the other hand, would incorporate a greater scope.
A financial due diligence review would not only look at the historical financial performance of a business but also consider the forecast financial performance for the company under the current business plan and consider the reasonableness of such forecasts.
Another major difference between an audit and a financial due diligence review is that, where an audit reports only on the truth and fairness of the financial results, a financial due diligence review will investigate reasons for the trends observed in operational results of the company over a relevant time period and report on this in terms of relevancy for the proposed transaction.
Clearly, the scope of each financial due diligence will be unique depending upon the nature of the transaction and the size of the company or business operations being acquired. In general a financial due diligence would typically involve a review of the following areas: historical financial results, current financial position, forecast financial results, working capital requirements, employee entitlements provisions, valuation implications, risks and opportunities, and taxation implications.
The key to determining an appropriate scope for financial due diligence is clear identification of the risks surrounding the potential acquisition.
Financial due diligence should be undertaken whenever a company is considering acquiring a new business (whether it be by acquiring share capital of an existing company or purchasing the business operations and assets only).
However the benefits of financial due diligence reviews are not limited to merger and acquisition decisions. They can also be useful in assessing the merits of disposing of certain existing business divisions within an organisation. A financial due diligence review is also an essential component of assessing investment requirements for venture capital arrangements.
A financial due diligence review can be conducted either internally, by the acquirer's own accounting and finance function, or by external independent due diligence experts.
The benefit of using external advisers is that the review is based on an independent viewpoint from a party who has no direct interest in the outcome of the proposed transaction.
Further, by outsourcing the financial due diligence review, internal resource time can be dedicated to consideration of operational due diligence procedures such as the logistics of merging the policies and procedures of both the acquirer and target in an efficient and effective manner.
Ideally, the financial due diligence process should commence as soon as practical when negotiating to acquire a company or business.
Generally once a heads of agreement has been drafted setting out the structure for the deal, then financial due diligence should begin. Importantly, sufficient time should be allocated to the financial due diligence process, as the outcome of the review may provide valuable information required to ensure a fair purchase price is agreed upon and, where necessary, the appropriate guarantees and provisos are put in place.
The information required to complete a financial due diligence review is dictated by the agreed-upon scope as well as the reporting capabilities of the target company. The main sources of information for a financial due diligence review include:
Depending upon the scope of the procedures conducted, a financial due diligence review should provide answers to the following questions:
The due diligence process is not simply following through a standard checklist of procedures in order to provide a 'tick' for a proposed acquisition. When done properly a financial due diligence review provides valuable information to support the proposed acquisition and identify early the issues that you need to address to combine companies and businesses successfully. There have been numerous high profile examples that have proven the cost of performing expert financial due diligence far outweighs the cost of a bad acquisition.

Open to experienced gestalt therapists and intermediate to advanced trainees
This is an introduction to phenomenology for gestalt therapists and to gestalt therapy as a clinical phenomenology. The seminar is a fresh look at gestalt therapy itself.
This 10-week seminar is in two parts.
Part One is an introduction to phenomenology for gestalt therapists.
It focuses on basic relevant ideas of such phenomenologists as Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, Buber, Levinas – and those influenced by them and who are increasingly applicable to contemporary gestalt therapy. In simple ways, we look at the phenomenal field, epoché (bracketing), intentionality, Dasein, temporality, being-toward-death, the body and lived-body, lifeworld, chiasm, dialogue, and the Other.
Part Two describes gestalt therapy as a clinical phenomenology.
It shows how the concepts in Part One potentially expand gestalt therapy theory and practice. It will introduce or reformulate familiar concepts such as intentionality, the sequence and aesthetic of contacting, the phenomenal field, the gestalt epoché, reductions, aware-consciousness, responsivity to the other, and the contact-boundary.
Concrete application to clinical practice is central.
Each Part of the seminar consists of five sessions that meet every third week.
The seminar is appropriate for experienced gestalt therapists and intermediate to advanced trainees. Part One is appropriate for everyone.
Part One is a prerequisite for Part Two. Yet anyone interested in Part Two only and already sufficiently familiar with phenomenology, as covered in Part One, might be able to take it separately.
The 10-sesson seminar is $600 USD. Each Part is $300 USD. I offer partial scholarships.
Lecture "When Parallel Lines Collide: Gestalt therapy and phenomenology" at the Gestalt Associates for Gestalt Therapy (GATLA)'s summer residential training program in Serock, Poland. July 2018.

Comments on: Aston Martin V12 Speedster Revealed in Sketch
- Updated
No windshield, no top, no worries if you've got $1 million plus to own one.
Everyone's jumping on the Monza bandwagon. An easy 100 million to add to the bottom line...
Luxury automakers nowadays are inclined to go for quantity rather than quality
I don't care what people say but this is the trend I would support
Definitely way cooler than those crossovers
I don't care what people say but speedsters are so damn cool
No matter how exclusive or expensive they are
Being slower, it will probably be more fun to drive than the Monza or Elva. Driving a car with no windshield at the track is stupid. These are for enjoying the countryside, and if it happens to rain, call for a trailer to bring your Bentley.

He's held in the Limestone County, Texas jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
The incident happened Tuesday and Williams' daughter, Hannah, 17, hasn't been quite the same since.
"I felt really scared and my adrenaline was pumping so I don't really remember a lot of it, but I'm not sleeping well at all," she said.
It started when Williams woke up to a ringing doorbell.
"I went to the door and just kind of opened it and there was an older man standing at my front door with a shovel and he asked for a lady's name and I said, 'There's no one here by that name. I'm sorry. You're at the wrong house. She doesn't live here.'" Williams said.
The man left, but Williams said she felt uncomfortable.
She looked out through the blinds of her bedroom window to see if he had left.
She recalled, "I looked out and he was standing at the opening of the woods with a shovel still in his hand and he kept looking back and looking, I said, 'No this is not going to go down like this.'"
Williams ran to the other side of her house where Hannah was asleep.
"I woke her up and I said, 'Go to my bedroom, get the dogs and let's go,' because that's where we keep our guns in our house," Williams explained.
"No sooner did we get to the bedroom and shut the door, he was kicking in the front door and hitting it with the shovel," Williams said.
Williams got her pistol out of the drawer of a bedside table and confronted the man in the living room while her daughter called 911.
"I had time to grab the revolver and come out the door. So when he came in the shovel was up on his shoulder, he was headed straight towards us," she said. "I aimed it at him and said, 'If you take one more step I'll kill you.'"
She said the man stopped, mumbled some words and turned to leave. As he walked out the door he turned to back to Williams.
"He said, 'Well all y'all need to know is y'all need to leave me the F alone,' and I said 'I don't even know you, get out of my house.'" Williams said.
After the man left, she said she rushed back to the bedroom to look through the blinds again.
"I went back into my bedroom, I locked the door and I watched him go into the woods with a shovel still in his hands while we were still on the phone with 911," she said.
Deputies arrived 14 minutes later and flooded the area, she said. They found Tompkins in a nearby trailer park.
Williams, who once worked as a police officer, admitted the confrontation left her rattled.
"My husband said I'm having nightmares calling Hannah's name trying to make sure she's safe. As much as I hate to say I killed somebody, I wished I would have so that I could sleep at night knowing that he's not going to come back," she said.

Thesis writer for hire
Where To Get Professionally-Written Thesis Examples For Free
Want to write a thesis paper, but don't know the kind of quality that is expected of you? The best way to find this out is by looking at examples of professionally written papers. Ones that have all the key elements required to get a top grade. Read enough of these and you'll notice an underlying pattern that separates them from the average ones.
Essay Directories
There are enough essay directories out there to come across one where the essays submitted are of a professional standard. Directories are great because the volume of entries can be huge. There are topics on so many categories you won't be disappointed. One downside is that fact that payment might be required for certain directories that offer professional grade essays. Filtering through these ones until you find the free ones might take more time than you are willing to invest.
University Websites
There are university students who can write at a professional level, and their work can be found hosted on university websites. Typically any piece of content that is shown as an example on a university website is going to be of the highest quality.
The only downside of looking at university websites is that only a small number of examples might be available. This means finding something on your chosen topic could prove to be difficult.
Library Resource Sections
Some public libraries might host professionally written thesis papers available for anyone to download them. The best thing about library databases is the intuitive storage system, and you can expect to find many entries. This means finding something in your chosen category will be much more realistic.
How To Use What You Find
Once you have located a thesis paper don't simply plagiarize it. Instead get ideas from it so that you can draw inspiration. Perhaps by reading the thesis paper you'll get inspired to complete a paper on something similar.
However, if you are set on replicating a thesis paper it's a good idea to use a word spinner to make the content unique. Once this stage has been completed you'll need to proofread the content to make sure there are no grammar mistakes. Furthermore, adding ideas of your own will go a long way towards increasing the uniqueness of the piece. Finding a professionally written thesis paper, and then adding to it in order to make it unique is one of the easiest and fastest ways of writing one.

Hurling Semi Final – The boys in green have shown a force to be reckoned with all season long and will take on either Clare or Galway which will, either way, be a cracking match-up in the All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park on August 19, 2018. Picture: Aine Fitzgerald
Huge excitement as Limerick triumph in the hurling semi final
By ilovelimerick Correspondent Cathal Doherty
There has been immense excitement across the county after Limerick defeated Cork on Sunday in Croke Park in the hurling semi final to secure a place in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final for the first time in 11 years.
The closing minutes of the first half saw Cork ahead of Limerick by two points until the last minute goal from Cian Lynch who had the final say when he buried the sliotar into the back of the net.
The second half saw the Cork side start back with a force unseen in the match up to that point and looked as if they would be heading to Croke Park again for the final but the team began to lose fatigue in the final ten minutes as Limerick's substitutes bread a new life into the game.

The Cork rebel's fatigue got the best of them as Limerick surged ahead in the second half of extra time, securing a place in the All-Ireland Final in Croke Park on August 19.
Limerick trailed by six points with less than 10-minutes to play in normal time but John Kiely's boys in green made a Lazarus style performance in the closing minutes of the match to draw in normal time and go on winning 3-32 to 2-31 in extra time.
The excitement across the county knows no end after the game yesterday with Cllr Daniel Butler, Metropolitan Mayor of Limerick, proposing that a big screen is constructed on All-Ireland final day in the city centre.
#AllIrelandFinal I have this evening formally requested Limerick Council Mgt to set about exploring the possibility of a large screen to show the All Ireland Final immediately. This is to ensure a safe, fun & importantly family friendly event can be organised. #LuimneachAbú pic.twitter.com/3hLH2yCoX2
— Mayor Daniel Butler (@DanielButlerFG) July 29, 2018
This wouldn't be the first time a big screen has been erected in the city centre as seen before during major sporting events to do with Limerick.
The boys in green have shown a force to be reckoned with all season long and will take on either Clare or Galway which will, either way, be a cracking match-up in the All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park on August 19, 2018.

Inside this article
Example 1 - Personalized to-dos
Example 2 - Adding new contacts
Example 3 - Logging updates
Example 4 - Upvotes and downvotes
Example 5 - RSVPs
Example 6 - Remove dupes button
Example 7 - Timers
Example 8 - Assigning tasks
Example 1
Personalized to-dos
This first example uses the User( ) formula to create a collaborative to-do list.
Here's how it's set up. Let's start with the first button Add To Do for Maria:
- Name: Add To Do
- Label: = "Add To Do for "+User().Split(" ").First()
- This formula pulls from the currently logged in user with the User formula, and then using Split() and First () to only pull the user's first name
3. Action: Add Row. We then choose to add the row to the To Dos table and pull the User's name using the User () formula again:
4. Show Record: We've toggled this on so that the row modal can act like a form entry
Now, let's take a look at the second button, Make Maria's Stuff Done:
- Name: Mark To Dos Done
- Label: ="Make "+User().Split(" ").First()+"'s Stuff Done"
- Action: Modify rows. We still choose the To Dos table as the target and a custom filter by user with the result of marking the Done column as true:
4. This button has one more setting, Disable If because we don't always want it to be active. In this case, we want it disabled if the person who is logged in doesn't have tasks or if all the tasks are marked as done already. Here's the formula:
Example 2
Adding new contacts
Buttons can also be used to act like an entry form for your databases like we see below for updating a customer contact record:
In this example, we only have one button, Add New Contact. Let's see what's under the hood:
- Name: Lead Button
- Label: Add New Contact
- Action: Add Row - our target is the Contacts table, and we want the logged in user to be the Account Owner (so we'll use the User formula again), and we want the status to be set to Not Contacted as a default.
4. Show Row - Toggled on so that the person entering can add further details about the lead.
Example 3
Logging updates
Updating status can be a bit of a chore so these buttons are designed to make it streamlined and a one stop shop:
Here we are using buttons as a column format. Let's take a look at the set up:
- Column Format: Button
- Label: = "Update "+Feature
- Here we are combining the word update with the item in the Feature column
3. Action: Add Row. And, we're applying these changes to the Update Log table with the name of the Feature, the date, and who created the new entry.
4. Show Row: In this case, we want this turned on so that the logged in person can add their notes.
Example 4
Upvotes and downvotes
This example also takes advantage of the button column format. You''ll have three columns set to the button format - up, down, and clear:
To set up the voting structure, take the following steps:
- Create one table for your voting, and another table to track the votes. Keep in mind, these can be in totally different sections.
- Label: The up and down buttons will have a very similar set up:
Here, we're displaying the up or down emoji, and using a formula to show the current count of votes. If you want to keep vote counts secret, you can simply include the emoji.
3. Action: Both of these will also Add a row to the Votes table. Our set up completes the emoji, the question text from the vote submission table, and the voter's name using our favorite formula - User ( ).
4. Disable If: Since we don't want our voters to vote multiple times, we've set the button to disable if our vote tally table already has an entry by the user using the following formula:
Now let's take a look at the Clear button:
- Label: Here we'll simply use the text Clear
- Action: Delete rows. In this case, our target is the Votes tally table, and we're using thisRow and User to connect a user's vote to the question.
3. Disable If: We also want to disable clear if the user has not voted yet. So, we'll use this formula:
Example 5
The RSVP buttons combine the elements you've already seen with a text response using the SwitchIF formula:
For the Yes and No buttons, you'll take the following steps:
- Label - Yes or No
- Action - Add Row with the target being your Attendees table.
3. Disable If: Here, we want to make sure people don't push the button multiple times so we can get an accurate count. So, we disable the button if we already have an entry from the user:
For the +1? button, you'll set it up to update the checkbox as true:
The final element of this button set up is the response that user's get in the text field once they add their response. To accomplish this, type = in the canvas and use the following formula:
Example 6
Remove dupes button
If you're working with a large amount of data entries, getting rid of duplicate entries can be a very handy trick:
To set up the de-dupe button, take the following steps:
- Name: Dupe Remover
- Label: = "Remove "+[All Bugs 🐛].Filter([Dupe?]=true).Count()+" Dupe(s)"
- What's happening here is we're grabbing the number of entries that are marked as duplicates using the Filter formula
3. Action: Delete rows with our target table being the All Bugs table
4. Disable If: We don't need our button to be active if there are no dupes so we disable the button if the dupe count is 0. Here's the formula for reference:
Example 7
This button set up connects a button to a dropdown select list control:
To set up the timer, you'll begin by creating a dropdown select list control and naming in duration:
Now that you have the dropdown menu, you can create the button with the following settings:
- Name: Timer Button
- Label: Click to begin
- Action: Modify rows with the target being the Time table. We only have one row that we're modifying here. The value we update combines the Now( ) formula with the value in the duration select list in terms of minutes:
4. For the text letting you know how much time you have left, you'll use the IF formula:
Example 8
Assigning tasks
Our last example lets you create a workflow around tasks that need to follow a particular process:
To create your workflow, first identify the steps and owners in a status progression table:
Then in your Handoff column format, you can use this data to drive direction:
- Label: = "Handoff to "+[Status Progression].Filter(Rank = thisRow.[Current Status].Rank+1).Status
- What we're doing here is using the rank of the steps to change the button based on which step comes next in the process
2. Action: Modify rows in the Content Production table. Again, we use the rank option to connect steps to people:
3. Disable If: We then turn the button off if we've made it to the final step:

Bonnie Johnson
In 20 years as a professional drummer, Bonnie Johnson has garnered an impressive list of credentials. . By age 10, Bonnie was self-taught on guitar and sang in duos, trios and choirs throughout her early school years. Later, after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, her career as a drummer began in earnest.
Additionally, she has appeared on television and radio and has toured Europe and the U.S. extensively. Her playing can be heard on 16 albums and for the past 12 years, her reputation as an instructor – private as well as in a classroom situation – is well established. Known for her solid time-keeping, extraordinary taste and versatility, she is highly respected as a consummate player and band leader.
After 15 years as a successful freelance musician in the Bay Area coupled with an intense desire to be immersed in the jazz idiom, Bonnie moved to the East coast. At this time she matriculated in Jazz Studies at the University of Hartford symphony, Alexander Lepak. Moving to NY, she then went on to receive her M.A. in Jazz Performance at Queens College. Additionally, Bonnie was the drummer in Mr. Heath's big band for her entire 2 years at Queens.
In her 6 years on the East Coast, Bonnie has not only studied extensively but her reputation as a jazz drummer is well-established with performances at the Blue notes, weekly gigs in the village clubs and recent recording sessions that included Elivin Jone's bassist, Chip Jackson, she shared the drum duties with Pat Metheny alumnus, Danny Gottlieb.
She has performed and recorded in numerous and varied musical settings with top-notch players. Her roots are steeped in Rhythm & Blues backing dynamic personalities. An original funk group known as SWEET CHARIOT which she co-founded with singer Sharon Russell was a huge success during the late 70's often appearing in concert halls with the likes of the Quincy jones orchestra and the late Marvin Gaye. Bonnie also toured extensively with singer Linda Tillery who is currently a member of Bobby McFerrin's VOICESTRA. Vicki Randle, the percussionist in Branford Marsalis' Tonight Show band is in actuality a remarkable vocalist/songwriter and Bonnie was her steady drummer before relocating to the Los Angeles area. Bonnie's theatre experience includes shows with the Tony award winning San Francisco Mime Troupe, Sam Shephard's Pecos Bill and the American Music Theatre Group.
As a founding member of the Latin Jazz sextet CHEVERE, Bonnie honed her skills as a percussionist, performing on congas, timbales and assorted Afro-Cuban and Brazilian hand instruments. Among this group's achievements is a successful U.S. tour and a week's stint at San Francisco's premier jazz club, the Keystone Korner, when an ailing Tito Puente had to cancel. Other members of this fiery ensemble have gone on to gigs with Sergio Mendes, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and recording sessions produced by Bill Cosby.
