Issue # 22 of 43

Killin' Stuff
Why do guys love to hunt, fish, and generally kill stuff? It all starts as little boys, with things like bumble bees, ants, frogs, spiders, etc. Manageable stuff. The odd thing is young boys really don't have this instinctive pattern taught to them. Maybe their fathers took them hunting or fishing, but surely not many dads sat down to show their sons how to burn holes in living creatures with a magnifying glass.
Little boys from all over learn to torture insects and kill various creatures at a very young age - and to enjoy it! Why this is will probably always remain a mystery. I was no different until at the age of about 16 I shot a tweety bird with a shotgun and obliterated it. I felt bad that I just wasted its life for no good reason. Ever since, my killing habits have changed. I no longer play God and exterminate life except in one scenario - when the animal or critter crosses the line and threatens to harm or incessantly pester me. If a mosquito is biting me, it's crossed the line. I don't mind spiders in my home, but if it ends up in my bed, that's going a little too far.
Many boys laugh at the "sensitivity" of their female counterparts when they are growing up. "It's just a cute little squirrel, how could you kill it?" These words fall on deaf ears as the boys have no sympathy for the little critter. Some guys eventually outgrow the "killing thing", especially those that have always lived in or have moved to the city. But for those that haven't it can be a real source of controversy in a relationship.
Take my friend Wayne for example. He is an avid "sportsman." Fishing and hunting are his passions. He owns more fishing poles and guns than my wife has pairs of shoes. The thrill he gets out of bagging a deer or catching a whopper is something he alone can appreciate - his wife "puts up with it." What is it he loves the most about these activities? Ironically, it's the quiet time, the "peacefulness" of being in the woods, or being on a calm lake in the misty early morning. He loves the time to be alone, or with a buddy, away from his serious life as a husband, father, schoolteacher, etc. etc. No worries, just some simplicity.
Guys have to have a goal, something to accomplish, to justify spending this down time away from their wives, family, and jobs. You just can't explain going out in the woods and sitting on a stump to most people, they will think you're weird. But if you have a purpose, like killing something, well, then it all makes some sense somehow.
While I used hunting and killing things as a good examples of how different our perspective and interests are or can be, the subject is really much broader than that. Wayne spends an enormous amount of time on his hobbies, as do many men, may be it be sports, cars, or whatever. Some women eventually begin resenting their partner's time away from them and their family, and the more they hate it, the more guilt he feels about doing what he loves.
Of course the whole thing comes down to moderation. If he is out of balance and does not spend enough time with his job, family, and or wife, then his hobbies can become a problem indeed. But what's the harm if there is balance? Even if you don't share his enthusiasm for his hobby, in this case hunting, you can still allow him the escape if he needs it. Embracing that and not dishing out extra helpings of guilt not only gives him freedom and permission, but can make him obligated to indulge you when it comes to how you want to spend some of your free time, without grief or guilt.
This is where couples need to make agreements and keep each other in check. If Wayne's wife agrees his need to be out on a lake is important to him and that he deserves the time to do this, it needs to be within reason. So, rather than have him totally consumed by his hobby, she asks for moderation."How about spending every other Saturday morning with us, and then you could go out the other Saturday mornings without guilt? We get a little of you, and you still get a decent amount of fishing in?"
Hunting season is a wild, crazy time for guys that do this every year. I am out of the loop, living in the middle of Seattle. But I grew up in a small town where hunters are a dime a dozen. As men get older, they usually become more inclined to be more family-oriented and work a lot, spending less and less time with friends. It's the one time of year that guys get to be with the guys for more than a couple of hours. It makes them feel like kids again, and gives them an opportunity to hang out with their buds, drink some suds, tell dirty jokes, and be the pigs their women won't let them be at home. It's a bonding experience they look forward to every year. Oh, and yes, maybe they will get a deer this year!
While it is different when you are child, most of this whole killing thing, as far as grown men are concerned, is really about the space, the privacy, the time alone or with friends, and less about the actual killing they may get to do. But make no mistake, there is a thrill that these guys get when they are successful. It makes them feel cunning, smart, and very "manly." Many guys need this exercise, they don't want to totally lose touch with their masculinity, which is often partially defined by their lack of caring or concern for a poor little defenceless critter against a high powered, long - range rifle. But that's another matter. (If I am not careful, I will never hear the end of the "ridda" from my hunter friends.)
There is a certain pleasure men derive from being the "hunter" - even in today's more cerebral society. Men want to be "manly" and hunting gives them that feeling, much more so than sitting in an office working on a computer. Their virility and macho-ness is given a test and even if they do not get their goal, they at least were out there trying. Men don't want to just become thinkers, they want to hold onto that part of their lineage that is more primal. Women would do well to be patient and understanding about this side of men, no matter how bizarre it may seem, rather than to criticise, judge, and imply guilt for their pursuits.
Wayne says to his buddy, "You mean your wife likes it when you go out hunting? She doesn't give you any grief? What a lucky man you are! What a cool wife you have!" Jack replies, "Well, she is pretty cool about it. She knows it's something I really enjoy. I don't hassle her about shopping, and she does plenty of that while I am gone. It costs us some money every hunting season, believe me. But it's fun for both of us. She enjoys having a little space and time without me there. And by the time it's all over, I am sick of the guys and look forward to seeing her again, and she's glad to have me back home." The other guys stand there in amazement, jaws dropped, speechless. "Cool." "Really?" "Wow" are their eventual replies. "You have to teach me how to get that arrangement in my house!"

Pension Complification
I am long enough in the tooth now to remember various changes to the way pension contributions are dealt with by the tax system. Pensions simplification, A-Day and the like.
Today, the one tax related question that brings me out in a cold sweat more than any other is, "what is the maximum I can pay into my pension this year?". Just typing it brings a small tear to my eye.
It has been getting harder to answer this question for a little while; starting with reducing the annual pension allowance, then increasing in complexity in 2015/16 with the alignment of 'pension input periods' and the need to split 2015/16 into pre and post 8 July 2015 contributions. But then came the restricted annual allowance for those with 'adjusted income' over £150k, but with regard to 'threshold income' of £110k, but don't forget the carry forward, oh and are there enough relevant earnings, and is that net or gross and what about company contributions – and along came a whole new raft of ways to get it wrong.
What is going on? How did we get to the point where this question is sometimes harder to answer than one about quantum entanglement?
Ok, I exaggerate a little as it is quite straight forward to answer if income is definitely less than £110k, or earnings are low and so contributions are not dependent on the convoluted annual allowance calculations. However, for those where income is higher it can be a nightmare. A conversation with, say, a self-employed individual with some additional employment income or a directorship may go something like this following the asking of THAT question for 2017/18:
"It depends on your income for the year."
"How should I know what that will be – I never know until sometime after the end of the year; about £180k perhaps?"
"Well, the annual allowance would be restricted to £25k. But that will change if your income is not exactly £180k – it could be more or less than £25k."
"Thanks for that!"
"Looking back you haven't fully utilised your annual allowances in the past three years so you could pay more than that amount."
"Yes, I paid in £2k per month in the last three years plus a £3k lump sum each year."
"Is that net or gross?"
"It's what I actually paid."
"Net then. So your contributions were £33,750 gross each year. To work out the carry forward relief for 2016-17 we have to consider the restricted annual allowance for that year, but we can't do that until the tax return is completed, for 2015-16 we need to consider the pre and post alignment periods and for 2014-15 we need to understand what the pension input period was – actually we need that for the beginning part of 2015-16 as well. We may need to look back 2013-14 to work out the position for 2016-17 properly."
"Does your employer make any contributions? Salary sacrifice? Defined benefit scheme?"
"If you can pay in more than £70k (gross) so that your income is less than £110k (based on your estimated income) then the annual allowance for 2017/18 is not restricted after all. But we need to be clear on whether your income will be £180k first."
"What? If I contribute more, then I can contribute even more, as it means I am not then affected by the rules that mean I can't put that much in?"
"Well, yes. But we can't tell at this stage if you can pay enough in. You might be better off paying in less in 2017/18 to preserve your carry forward capacity for 2018/19, when your income might be lower, meaning that you might be able to pay in more to get below the threshold limit to reinstate the annual allowance for 2018/19, thus meaning that you could pay in more in 2018/19 and increasing the maximum across the two tax years."
"Are you ok? Anything else I need to worry about!?"…somewhat sarcastically.
"What you also need to consider is the lifetime allowance. What are your pension funds worth? What will they be worth when you retire? You could look at taking out fixed protection…"
And so it goes on.
I have had these types of conversations in one form or another and they are painful.
One interesting scenario is where both partners in a house with child benefit have similar income of around £60,000. In advising the higher earner to make a contribution to reinstate the child benefit, he or she becomes the lower earner and the problem switches to the partner. Defined contributions schemes, such as the NHS pension, are also particularly interesting to advise on, as is the interaction of the annual allowance with the new finance cost restrictions for let properties, or explaining that the dividend allowance isn't an allowance at all.
It is bloated with complexity. People need to be able to at least have some certainty over how much they can pay into their pension without a tax charge, and in some cases that is simply not a realistic possibility.
In the meantime, we are here to guide those who need advice – although we may need a lie down afterwards.
Quantum physics anyone?

Pedestrians using the city's new path around Cleveland Heights Golf Course will be shaded — eventually — as a result of work being done by city crews this week. Parks and Recreation staff started planting 68 bottlebrush, pine and crepe myrtle trees along Cleveland Heights Boulevard yesterday. The focus is on trees with shallow roots to avoid problems with underground utility and fiber optic lines, a supervisor said.

How do we ever get to be lost in dreams? Have you felt yourself dancing to a wonderful romantic melody until you forgot where you were? Did you ever wake up in the morning and wonder where you were going, or why you had to get up? Do you ever find yourself daydreaming and feeling it be so real that we feel more like we are in that place than where we are?
These disorientations can come about as a result of the dream state overlapping with out conscious state. It is not, of course, that we do not know that we are dancing or that we do not know that we have to get up and go to work in the morning. It is just that we are enjoying our dream state and would prefer to stay there for a while.
When we return, our senses and our feelings, do not quite fit what is happening because we are still in one realm but needing to move into another.
Our dream state is so appealing that we enjoy being in it and find ourselves immersed in it. In this inbetween state, many creative people find fertile ground for creativity and new ideas.
In this fluid state, we gain entry into places without limitations, without boundaries, and this is why we experience free association, and enlarged perceptions.

How you manage your Dental business can give you a significant advantage against other clinics. In this short management tip I highlight a few ideas on how to be a strategic leader or meaningful leader as it called in "Funky Business" one of my favorite business book.

Got something to ask Oprah? Courtesy of Facebook Live, next Thursday might be your best chance to receive an answer. On September 8th, the lady herself will be sitting for a one-hour-long, live-streamed interview. Beginning 1:30pm (PT) go to http://on.fb.me/fblivehq to see and hear Oprah Winfrey speak. She will be answering some of the questions posted on the event's Facebook page. If you have a pressing question for Oprah, write it on the event's wall: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=251369618236031.
One of the most recent questions posed came from Harriet A. Humes. She asks:
Hi Oprah! I miss you on ABC. It's just not the same without you. I was wondering, since I know you are a fan of All My Children, had you ever thought about bringing the show to your network? Prospect Park is suppose to be putting it online but it would be fabulous if you got the show for the O Network.
There's no doubt that people connect with Oprah, but since her show's gone off the air, the strength of that connections seems to be diminishing. The New York Post is reporting that in addition to the Facebook interview, Oprah will also be holding a meeting, at Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's home, no less, with top brass from the likes of Twitter, LinkedIn, and Demand Media. The Post is saying that Oprah wants to learn about the "future of the web," and "how best to harness social media."

Need to migrate a contact list from another email provider? We can help with that! There are a couple steps you can take to migrate data to Jilt.
What can be migrated? ℹ
You can import:
- Your contacts (along with basic information like name, address, tags, etc);
- Your automated emails (such as post-purchase follow ups or cart abandonment reminders); and
- Email templates (which you can duplicate to create new emails)
We're happy to help when migrating from another platform! You can get in touch with our team for assistance.
Migrate a contact list 📜
First, before we get into contact lists: is your list only customers, or does it have other contacts? Jilt will automatically import your customer list from your store, so you may not need to migrate contacts if your list is only folks who have purchased from you.
If you have more contacts who are not customers, Jilt can import contacts from a CSV or XLS file, and this file can be as simple as single column for "email address". You can also include basic contact details such as first name, last name, address fields, whether these folks opt into marketing emails or not, and more.
If migrating from Mailchimp, we can also import this CSV file without any modifications. Please perform an account backup export as described here, then follow our guide on importing contacts into Jilt via a CSV file here.
Migrate your email automations 🤖
Need help in migrating your automated campaigns? Please reach out to support — we're happy to migrate these email campaigns for you! We'll send over the next steps if you can tell us which platform you use.
If you use Mailchimp, you'll need to invite our team to your account to view your automations. Please:
Follow the guide here to invite
email@example.com a new user (we need Admin permissions), and
- reach out via the chat widget to let our team know which automations you'd like to move to Jilt.
Migrate email templates 💌
We can add a draft broadcast or automation to Jilt for you to use as a template. You can then duplicate this draft when you want to start with a new automation or broadcast.
If you use Mailchimp, you'll need to invite our team to your account to view your templates. Please:
Follow the guide here to invite
firstname.lastname@example.com a new user (we need Admin permissions), and
- reach out via the chat widget to let our team know which templates you'd like to move to Jilt.

Same as yesterday's color palette and this time, here are some ripe watermelon slices to beat the hot summer days!. 🍉🍉
"How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself." ~ Virginia Woolf ☕ Happy Hump day everyone!
"Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee.."
When I am attempting a monthly challenge of sorts, I love following a particular theme as it relieves my wanderlust mind wanting to do everything, all at the same time. 😝 Last week it was mostly "Coffee" art and this coming week, I plan to paint a bunch of watercolor "Silhouettes".
Today, let us take a deep dive into the sea to watch some turtles swim. 🐢 What say?
"Do not seek to bring things in accordance with your wishes, but wish for them as they are, and you will find them" - Epictetus

In the resounding snore that is today's mainstream country music, Clint Black sticks out like a sore thumb. He sings better, plays better, writes better songs and looks better in a hat than 99 percent of the country male vocalists whose products grace our nation's retail shelves.
It comes as no surprise then that "The Greatest Hits" is a winner by any standard.
The songs, mostly penned by Black and long-time co-writer and guitarist Hayden Nicholas, are souvenirs of the first seven years of Black's fairy tale recording career that shows no signs of slowing down. Also included is a mesmerizing live performance of "Desperado" (Clint's contribution to the "Common Thread" album), his new single "Like The Rain" and two more new cuts.
This is definitely a collection you can just leave in your disk player. Furthermore, at a playing time just under one full hour, it is an excellent value as well.

When I found out that Joe and Ashanti were coming to London for a concert I was extremely excited. Admittedly, I am not the biggest Joe fan (Tyrese, Usher, Tank and Ginuwine were my go to guys for R'n'B) Ashanti, however!! I had been waiting for her for years! From time to time I'd go through phases as I'm sure most did where I would listen to nothing but back to back Ashanti classics and bangers; I was definitely not passing up on the opportunity to see her live in concert.
I kept asking my self "where on EARTH was Ja Rule???". I still can't believe they didn't just do the concert together. I mean, the money they could have made?! The bangers they've had together – unmatched. The vibe in the concert would have been crazy, not to slate the Joe and Ashanti show but Ashanti performing songs like "Wonderful" and "Mesmerize" as a solo is no where near as mesmerising as it could have been with the original duo.
The concert as a whole was great. Ashanti had little skits playing in between her songs on the screen which added to the performance. I will also say, she was looking REAL good on that stage, I still don't know where she got those thighs from but I'm a fan of them. She must have been squatting every day for like the last 3 years.
She performed her most well known tunes – "Only You" "Rain On Me", "The Way I Love You", "Baby" and "Happy". My thing was, this concert really did show that a LOT of her best associated songs were featuring others – notably "Wonderful" and "What's Love" and even the songs that were her own… were only a handful of top bangers, which to me highlighted the flaws in her discography. The more I think about it the more I feel like she was definitely 'carried' a lot by Ja Rule and the Murda Inc hit machine. She finished the show with "Foolish" and I was very satisfied overall with her part of the concert.
Joe came on with a live band and did his THING. His music is definitely that "text your ex at 1 in the morning 'wyd' with the heart emoji" music. I couldn't help but wonder while Joe was singing his heart out, what happened to THAT kind of R'n'B? That cry in the rain for your girl type music, those times are actually long gone now.
As he was going through his catalogue and rolling back the years I did actually realise how long he has been doing this music thing, especially when you hear him do tunes going back to 1997.
He performed notable tunes like "I Wanna Know" and "If I Was Your Man" and after the music that will make you want to make your girl's eyes roll back like Asda prices, he even brought on that Caribbean vibe and did "Night Nurse". I was there thinking "this guy really has a song for every mood". He even finished the show with Adele's "Hello". Why? I don't know but I caught a vibe to it the same way.
Overall, it was a fun concert. I enjoyed, heard some classic r'n'b, went home. If you wanted to chill out, sing your heart out and reflect on how music was 15 years ago, this was your type of concert.

If your sluggish system needs a warmer kind of TLC than green juice this winter (hey, it happens), it's time to try a soup cleanse, say Angela Blatteis and Vivienne Vella. The founders of the first soup-cleanse-only shop in Los Angeles, Soupure, are at the forefront of the souping movement. In January, they went national, shipping their popular nutrient-rich soup cleanses around the country, and releasing their first book, The Soup Cleanse.
So you're less likely to throw your metabolism out of whack (which can lead to weight gain) or inspire the need to binge, the founders point out, because, you're getting massive clown-car levels of veggies in each sip.
"If you took all of the ingredients in one of our cleanses and put them on a plate in whole food form, it would be difficult to finish them all. Souping offers a way to pack in all that nutrition your body needs in a more efficient way," say Blatteis and Vella.
In fact, The Soup Cleanse recipes are quite filling for, well, a cleanse (while being free of dairy, gluten, processed soy, and refined sugars)—think Pumpkin Miso, Creamy Carrot Ginger, and Spring Pea.
1. Vegetable Soup
2. Dairy vegetable soup
Why soup?The duo like its fiber, which recent studies show is key to gut health (and may play a role in cancer prevention), and which juicing typically removes. The fiber content in soups helps prevent the blood sugar spikes you get with juicing, say Blatteis and Vella, who partnered with chefs and nutritionists to come up with The Soup Cleanse recipes.

Soup for Good Digestion
SauerkrautSauerkraut is fermented cabbage that contains natural probiotics. These probiotics are particularly helpful for maintaining a healthy balance in your gut flora between the "good" and "bad" gut bacteria. Probiotic-rich foods help to feed your good bacteria, which can reduce bloating, gas, and other lower gastrointestinal discomforts.
You can add one to two tablespoons of sauerkraut as a condiment to the side of eggs, meat, chicken, fish, or vegetables. Look for "raw" sauerkraut in a glass jar that is kept in the refrigerator. The refrigeration helps preserve more of the healthy probiotic bacteria. Some other probiotic-rich foods to consider are coconut kefir (fermented dairy) and kimchi (pickled vegetables).
Bitters are not a familiar flavor or food group for most Western cultures. They help to stimulate several organs in the body, including the pancreas, gallbladder, stomach, and liver. Some bitters foods that you can try are dandelion root, arugula, radicchio, and raw cocoa. Bitters also come in tincture form and can be taken before meals to help with digestion.
Bone BrothBone broth has been used for centuries to support digestion and immune function. There are a variety of different bone broths that you can use, including chicken, beef, and fish. It is similar to a traditional chicken (or beef or fish) stock, but it is prepared in a different way.
Learn all about the preparation and how to make your own broth here, or purchase it at a health food store. You will know that it is a bone broth if the container's contents are gelatinous at room temperature instead of liquid. When you heat up the broth it becomes liquid-like a soup. It is the collagen that is excreted from the bones of the animals that helps to heal the gut lining. Drink one to three cups of broth per day on its own or mix it with another soup.
WaterWater is vital for so many essential functions in the body and is especially important for digestion. Staying hydrated helps to soften the stool to facilitate proper elimination. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of chronic constipation.
If you experience any form of constipation, a great place to start is by increasing your water intake. If you have a hard time drinking water by itself, you can add lemon and/or cucumber to create an infused water for more flavor. Eating fruits and vegetables as part of your everyday diet will help to increase your water intake as well.
Vegetables and Leafy GreensVegetables and leafy greens contain insoluble fiber that supports healthy elimination. If you experience loose stools, experiment with eating cooked vegetables instead of raw vegetables to see if it helps to regulate your bowel movements. Dark leafy greens, spirulina, and sea vegetables also contain magnesium, which helps to support elimination.
GingerGinger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that help to sooth the digestive tract. It also serves as an anti-nausea agent for chemotherapy-induced nausea and for motion sickness. Ginger comes in two different forms: fresh ginger root or powdered ginger spice. Some ways that you can add ginger to your diet is by drinking ginger tea, or adding it to smoothies or stir-fry dishes.

Can Trans Women get Prostate Cancer?
Trans people who were assigned Male at Birth and Male-assigned Non-binary people can get Prostate Cancer or Prostate Disease. This includes Trans Women (or Transgender Women or Transsexual Women) who identify and live as Women.
If you are a Trans Woman or Male-assigned Non-binary person, you will have a Prostate, regardless of whether you have had Genital Reconstructive Surgery or not.
You may have heard that Trans Women who are on Hormone Therapy (e.g. Oestrogen) won't get Prostate Cancer or that the chance of developing it is lower. There is not enough evidence to say either way. Trans Women who have been taking Feminising Hormones are still at risk of Prostate Cancer.

We've come a long way in the last month. Instead of spending half an hour insistently repeating "taupe" while I frantically try to translate, last night, Elaine simply laid her head on my arm and said, "So tired."
Then, this morning, she insisted on having a spoon with her buttered toast. I was skeptical; however, Elaine successfully used the spoon to eat the toast, spearing each quarter in its soggily buttered middle.

Saint Lucia
There are a number of anti-blasphemy or quasi blasphemy law provisions in place, though we have no record of their use.
Under the heading of "Public worship offences", the Criminal Code criminalizes:
- behaving "irreverently near any church, chapel, or other building for religious worship during divine service" (article 566);
- anyone who "disturbs or molests any other person in any place of divine worship, whether during divine service or at any other time" as well as behaviour that is "riotous, indecent, disorderly, or insulting" at a place of worship at any time (article 567);
- anyone who "disturbs or molests any minister of religion while celebrating any religious rite or office in any public way or public place, or any other person aiding, assisting, or attending at the celebration".
Anyone convicted under these provisions is subject to "a fine of one thousand dollars or to imprisonment for one year".
It is unclear if an act of blasphemy in and of itself (without some attendant abuse or harassment) would earn a prison term under these provisions, though it seems likely that some forms of legitimate protest, for example against a religious minister, might fall foul of these provisions.
When considering exemptions to the defamation law, for example on grounds of making a complaint against an official, or expressing an opinion in 'good faith', the Criminal Code, article 318 (g), specifically excludes "blasphemous" matter from such exemptions, even though the material may otherwise needed to be shown in a court of law. Publications are privileged:
"if the matter published is in fact a fair report of anything said, done, or shown in a civil or criminal inquiry or proceeding before any Court, unless the Court prohibits the publication of anything said or shown before it, on the ground that it is seditious, immoral, or blasphemous;" [emphasis added]
Again, in the list of potential justifications for libel (a justification might include for example pleading that a statement was true, or that making it was in the public interest), the Criminal Code, under article 326 (6), again excludes "blasphemous" matter, stating:
"No plea of justification shall be pleaded to any indictment or count of a charge of seditious, blasphemous or obscene libel."

The Washington Post has video of a weird species of crab that always carries around a special species of sea-anemones in it's claws like *all the time*. And if you take one away, it rips it's remaining one in half so that it still has two, reproducing those anemones asexually. If you take away both, the crab goes and mugs another crab for one of his.
The anemones don't appear to exist anywhere except for in these crabs claws any more.
Nature is weird and awesome.

Optimize use of resources (fleet, FTEs, time)
Optimize use of resources (fleet, FTEs, time)
Smart Route Planning enables automated management of the waste collection routes, based on precise pre-defined data regarding waste collection vehicles, depots, and landfills. The aim is that every single waste collection route is planned to maximize the utilization of your equipment and to minimize the costs needed to perform the job.
The tool allows the operator to manage the collection routes in one click and utilize collection vehicles and FTEs in the most efficient manner in terms of time and costs.

Smart Route Planning is comprised of the Fleet management module, which allows you to define the fleet of waste collection vehicles, vehicles' depots and discharges of the waste. This way we can plan the route exactly to your needs. For every vehicle we need to set a depot, cost attributes, availability and commodity type (including capacity)
Every bin has a collection-specific attribute. We need to consider "Pick up time" and account for it while planning the collection route. For example, semi-underground bins or other bins collected by hydraulic arm have an approximate pickup time of 5 minutes.
There are one or more Discharges for each specific type of waste. To plan efficiently, Smart Route Planning needs to know the exact location of discharge, the commodity type, as well as the operating hours of the discharge facility.
What is the perfect day of the week to collect waste? For those commodities with a steady filling period, you can, based on historical data, identify the ideal weekday for pickups, and therefore plan periodical collections.
We have a weekly conference call (video) for all interested in our solution where we explain our solution and give you a live tour of Sensoneo smart software.
When: every Thursday, at 9:30 am (Berlin/Prague time zone).Sign up
Our sophisticated software very wisely uses all the detailed information related to your waste collection vehicles, depot, and discharges. It ensures that every single waste collection route is planned to maximize the utilization of your equipment and to minimize the costs needed to perform the job. You will see very clearly how many kilometers you covered, how long it took you and what it has cost you to collect the required waste.
Sensoneo's Smart Route Planning is aware of limitations that come with oversized waste collection vehicles. Therefore, we use the most accurate data from various map sources, such as TomTom or HeRe, with enhanced metadata focused on oversized vehicles, for example, the height of the bridges, max. allowed carrying capacity of the bridges, and narrow streets.
We ensure that our Smart Route Planning only sends vehicles on the shortest, completely safe and fully accessible routes for their size and weight.
The Citizen App is a mobile application for smartphones, that allows citizens to see and use data from Sensoneo Smart Sensors. It informs citizens about the nearest available empty bin.
The powerful cloud-based management and provisioning platform enable customers to configure, monitor and manage their waste daily.
Smart Analytics is an analytical and reporting tool which enables you to "understand" the waste you manage.

Book Details
Knights of the Borrowed Dark (Knights of the Borrowed Dark Book 1)
Publisher: Puffin
An orphanage perched on a wild and windy hillside is the only home that Denizen Hardwick can remember. Life is bleak and difficult, but the gloom is alleviated by Simon, their friendship forged through 'furtive book trades at night, an inquisitive nature in common and a shared dislike of sports'. Out of the blue, around the time of his thirteenth birthday, Denizen's previously unheard of Aunt sends for him, despatching a car and driver to bring him to the city. The journey, however, is complicated by an encounter with something in the dark and Denizen receives his first introduction into the lives and battles of the Knights of the Borrowed Dark - a band of brave and fearless fighters against the forces of evil known as the Tenebrous. Though marked out from birth as potential knights, each one does have a choice; to take up the challenge and pay the price, or to walk away from the battle. This is the choice Denizen is faced with as he learns about his family and the enemy that confronts the human race. So, a story about good and evil, heroes and monsters, magic and duty? Yes, all of those things, but also the story of a young boy taken out of the (admittedly not very pleasant) environment that he has known all his life and dropped into a world that he cannot understand, his only defence being his sense of humour and his curiosity. Readers of Derek Landy and Rick Riordan will instantly feel a bond with the world that Dave Rudden has created and enjoy that mix of horror, magic and humour that can produce a foe like The Clockwork Three. 368 pages / Ages 10+ / Reviewed by June Hughes, school librarian.

From the Waterloo, Ontario, Canada newspaper today...
The latest local job-cut news came last week with the NCR Corp. announcing plans to slash 450 jobs from its Waterloo manufacturing facility.
Some of the reasons given were the strong Canadian dollar and evolving market conditions.
What it should have read was that this employer, who has been in the community since the early 1970s, decided to move most of its high-paying manufacturing jobs to low-cost contractors.
It seems NCR's profit margin wasn't big enough, and it now wants to shift some of its operations to countries like India where they can make the same product at lower costs.
NCR's move is just the latest example of outsourcing we've seen in the Canadian economy, with Ontario alone losing more than 130,000 manufacturing jobs since the economy peaked in 2002.
Those high-paying jobs are being replaced with more contract and part-time work, making it more difficult for working families to get by.
Waterloo is losing a lot with this latest round of job cuts.
The NCR employees were famous for their charity, and their annual Christmas shopping spree in support of the Food Bank of Waterloo Region has been a highlight of the holiday season.
The concern now is that these job losses, coupled with other closings, such as the 2005 shut-down of the local La-Z-Boy plant, will mean more of those workers will be using the social services they once supported.
And what's the political response been? Little or nothing from the province, and even less from the federal level.
Some people blame the job loss on the workers' productivity.
Instead, they should blame the companies that now say that making a profit is not enough.

RS4 Sport 3
Featuring the Amazing and Thrilling
Hoonicorn RTR!
The full-size Hoonicorn RTR is the amazing car featured in Ken Block's Gymkhana SEVEN video that sent the motorsport fans into a frenzy - and now YOU can have a 1/10th scale version to drive yourself! Replicating the chopped, slammed and massaged look of the real 1965 Ford Mustang the Hoonicorn RTR is based on, the official HPI Racing replica version features the same gigantic supercharger air scoop, same paint scheme and even the same wheels as the real thing! With a high-traction full-time shaft 4WD providing the go power, this electric-powered version will let you pull off the same wild action as Ken Block himself - in 1/10th the size!
There will only ever be one Hoonicorn RTR - but now YOU could be driving the official scale radio-control replica!
The full-size Hoonicorn RTR is a totally custom, all-out drift machine that was designed by Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR design studio and built by ASD Motorsports over 2 years to exacting specifications. It's fitted with a monstrous 410 cubic inch V8 putting out nearly 850 horsepower at a screaming 9000RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed Dakar Rally-spec transmission and 4WD drivetrain, with a completely custom adjustable suspension, and 3-piece fifteen52 wheels wrapped with super-wide 18-inch tires made in a custom compound just for Ken Block himself. You can read about the inspiration and design of the one-of-a-kind Hoonicorn RTR in this Speedhunters special article by Vaughn Gittin Jr!
fifteen52 R43 Replica 3 Piece Wheels
Custom-forged and machined by the custom wheel experts at fifteen52, the amazing 3-piece R43 wheels are replicated in exacting 1/10th scale directly from the original CAD files, so each and every Hoonicorn RTR replica has the perfect look and street stance. The real 18" x 10.5" wheels are made from machined forged 6061 aluminum centers and forged stepped & polished lips, while the replica is molded in high-impact nylon in a custom gold color.
Replica Hoonicorn Tires
295/30/18 - magic numbers that give the technical side of Ken Block's full-size hoops that are fitted to all four corners of the Hoonicorn RTR. But numbers can't tell the whole story - especially when these tires are made in a custom compound especially for Ken Block himself! The replica tires look exactly like the real thing: extra-wide, semi-slick and super-cool! The scale tires are molded in a durable, long-wearing rubber compound that gives enough grip for awesome acceleration!
Official Replica of the Amazing, Custom
Hoonicorn RTR
Taking the full-size Hoonicorn RTR with its handmade custom body and making it 1/10th scale was a major challenge for the HPI design team, but after months of hard work with scale drawings and hundreds of pictures of the real car, we're proud to call the 1/10th scale Hoonicorn RTR one of HPI's finest achievements. The replica wheels were even made with the help of the original fifteen52 CAD files to replicate their Ken Block special R43 wheels to complete the Hoonicorn's look, and each wheel is wrapped in a scale replica extra-wide semi-slick rubber tires.
Underneath all this detail and awesomeness is the RS4 Sport 3 chassis, the latest scale touring car chassis from HPI Racing! The HPI RS4 Sport 3 chassis features full-time 4WD, a completely sealed and highly efficient shaft drivetrain, coilover shock absorbers plus waterproof electronics. The fully contained drivetrain means there are no exposed gears, belts or drivetrain parts to get stuck with rocks or dirt. The car is completely assembled and fitted with the 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR body and fifteen52 wheels right out of the box, so all you have to do is PLUG IN AND DRIVE!
One-Piece Molded Chassis
The RS4 Sport 3 main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
2S LiPo CAPABLE
The RS4 Sport 3 features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included, your model shop will be able to provide one.
Fits a Wide Variety of Batteries
The RS4 Sport 3 chassis can fit lithium-polymer and nickel-cadmium packs of various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell Ni-MH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place, and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration.
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive
The RS4 Sport 3 features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy duty gear differentials at the front and rear, just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun.
Sealed Shaft Drivetrain
The drivetrain of all the RS4 Sport 3 models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis, next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain, including the central driveshaft and gear diffs, is completely sealed to prevent dirt, rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft, diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.
Bottom-Access Driveshaft
The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car.
Option: Carbon Fiber Driveshaft Cover
You can easily replace the stock driveshaft cover on the bottom of the chassis with a carbon fiber cover that provides extra stiffness and extra-cool looks.
Easy Access Differentials
Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service.
4-Gear Metal Diffs
Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease.
Option: Diff Spool
The optional diff spool removes all diff action for direct traction and braking action from your trigger finger straight to the wheels.
Double-Wishbone Fully Adjustable Suspension
The suspension of the RS4 Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design, similar to a full scale modern race car. You'll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks, and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You'll also be able to easily change the roll center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.
Option: Carbon Fiber Shock Towers
The option pair of carbon fiber shock towers not only look amazing, but also adds extra stiffness to the suspension for optimal performance. The carbon fiber material is extra-lightweight which lowers the center of gravity on the RS4 Sport 3 as well.
Oil-Filled Threaded Shocks
The RS4 Sport 3 is fitted with a set composite coilover-style oil-filled shocks, just like what you'd see on a real race car. The fully adjustable shocks are fully tunable to provide the optimum chassis performance on a wide variety of road surfaces. The ride height is quickly adjustable by using the threaded shock collars. Further tuning adjustments are also possible by changing the springs and shock oil weight.
Option: Anodized Aluminum Threaded Shocks
For optimum performance, you'll want a set of anodized aluminum threaded shocks that are machined to perfection. The full anodized aluminum threaded shock body, aluminum shock collar, aluminum top and bottom caps will allow you to make the most precise tuning adjustments.
Tough Front End Suspension
The RS4 Sport front end uses the strong C-hub style suspension seen on the latest RC touring cars, with a vertical ball stud camber mount that lets you change the front end roll center – which is a critical racing adjustment that allows the RS4 Sport 3 to be a step above other sport-level RC touring cars. The suspension arm also features multiple shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
Option: PRECISION MACHINED ANODIZED ALUMINUM FRONT PIVOT BLOCK
The optional set of front precision machined anodized aluminum pivot blocks provide optimum rigidity and suspension performance. The extra rigidity and durability also provides for a more stable and consistent base setup for additional tuning options.
Tunable Rear Suspension
The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy adjustment of the rear roll center. Moving the ball stud up or down with the optional spacers changes the traction characteristics of the rear end as the car goes through the turns. The suspension arm also features 3 different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
Option: PRECISION MACHINED ANODIZED ALUMINUM REAR PIVOT BLOCK
The optional set of rear precision machined anodized aluminum pivot blocks provide optimum rear end suspension rigidity and performance. The extra rigidity and durability also provides for a more stable and consistent base setup for additional tuning options.
Option: CVD Driveshafts
The optional all in one CVD drive shafts greatly increases the precision and efficiency of the entire driveline and steering for maximum driving performance.
Option: Adjustable Camber Link Turnbuckles
The option set of adjustable turnbuckles will allow you to quickly fine tune the camber setting of your RS4 Sport 3 for optimum performance.
Double Bellcrank Steering
The performance tested adjustable double bell crank system provides optimum steering precision at all speeds. A metal drag link plate connects the cranks for extra durability, the additional drag link mounting positions also allows for Ackermann angle adjustments.
Option: Anodized Aluminum Bellcrank Steering Set
For the ultimate steering performance, upgrade to the precision machined anodized aluminum bellcrank steering set. The included set of adjustable turnbuckles also allow you to change the front end toe angle to further fine tune your desired chassis steering performance.
Rugged Spring-Loaded Servo Saver
Fitted to the HPI SF10W waterproof servo is an adjustable multipiece servo saver, which protects the servo from crash damage. In the event of a crash or collision, the front wheels usually take a big portion of the blow and transmits the impact directly to the steering servo. The strong spring-loaded cam action of the servo saver is designed to absorb this force and protect the servo internals from the impact!
Aluminum Motor Mount
The cast aluminum cam-style motor mount holds the motor in place for a secure pinion/spur connection. Two screws hold the cam firmly in position on the mount, and cooling fins on the lateral support aid heat dissipation to keep the motor running as efficiently as possible.
Option: Machined Anodized Aluminum Motor Mount
The optional billet precision machined anodized aluminum motor mount will provide the most secure mount for your high powered competition motor.

Help! Trying to make the sesame energy balls and the quantities seem to be way off- I have a bit gloopy mess which is impossible to roll into a ball 😐 any ideas on how to thicken my mixture up?? 🙈😳
Someone just said using it as a dip I had the same problem 🙈 I may well take some with an apple as a little extra I just don't want to waste it 😔😉
Argh!! I have a bowl of crunchy almond butter!! What a waste of ingredients 😳
I will put them in a pot as well!
Eva, that is exactly like mine. I've actually left the mixture in my food processor as I have no idea what to do with it 😖 I followed the recipe and actually used one less tbsp of almond butter and of tahini, which is just as well as I guess it would have made it much worse. Don't want to get rid and start again as it was a lot of ingredients 🙊 tempted to put into little pots and eat with a spoon if I cant thicken 😳
Also did u put the seeds in with the food processor
Have u put enough tahini/almond butter in and food processed it long enough. 2nd time I've tried making date balls and this time got it perfect.
I've been the same. I have lots more than 10 and they are all a good size (bonus) I found slightly damp hands helps roll them. I did a few like that until my hands were covered then popped them in the sesame seeds. I used way more than the remaining 2tbsp.
