Creating Depths with BREEZE2
Creating "acoustic depths" is especially needed for natural-sounding mixes of orchestras.
You may want to place your instruments, as you can see in the picture on the right.
Set Left and Right with the balance knob. But how does one "push" an instrument back or forward?
This can be done by using a reverb plug-in.
"Yes, I know", you say, "but I do not want more reverb, just push the instrument back, it never works for me."
Here's a guide on how to do it with BREEZE2:
If you like, download some Orchestra Audiotracks from here. Willem Defesch "Sonata" could be good for this exeperiment.
Insert all the Audio-File Soloviolin into your Daw and insert BREEZE2 into the effect section...
Select the preset: F1 Factory Current / The Med HallB
Change the following:
Predelay = 0ms
Time = 1.0 - 1.2
Now you can push your instrument backwards and forwards with Dry / Wet.
By the way: You get a 3D effect when you press "MIX". Then the word MIX changes to BALANCE.
Now you can use the Width controller to adjust the 3D effect. "66% width" is probably enough.
Of course, the "Den Med Hall B" preset is not optimal for our recorder. It sounds too big in the distance, because it was taken close. For a more natural reverb sound you have to dampen the low frequencies a bit. I chose the band pass in Breeze2 (blue curve).
Remember the following:
Instruments that sound far away can not be far left or right. So the farther away instruments are the more they sound from the middle.
Also: The used preset is only to be understood as starting point. The goal is to have as many early reflections as possible. = nice depths
Have fun
The distance depends on the ratio "dry/wet"
This is how BREEZE 2 sounds with the modified "Den-Med-Hall-B" preset:
This is how BREEZE 2 sounds with the additional adapted bandpass EQ:
There are only 4 audio tracks in the Willem De Fesch Sonata:
- 1 recorder
- 2 organ high
- 3 organ low
- 4 cello
I summarized the organ in a group track.
This is the "virtual stage" I tried to achieve with the mix.
The organ at the back, far away, the cello back, because it actually belongs to the basso continuo (organ) and then the flute prominently in front of me the listener.
This makes sense, because actually the fetus is a lly instrument, which may be quiet something close to the listener.
Of course, everything is over the top, but BREEZE 2 does a pretty good job.
So that you hear the different depths well, I let the instruments play gradually.
without any effect
with BREEZE 2
I tried to recrete this virtual stage acoustically ...
BTW, you can download these Orchstra-Audio-Tracks and try yourself.

By Stacey Flewelling / December 13th, 2014
Plenty of Fishies is a single and multiplayer survival game by Nitrolic Games. You play as an adorable clown fish and your goal is essentially to survive the perils of the deep, vast ocean. The game contains a wide array of modes that are sure to jazz up any party that you might have or if you want to just have some solo action.
There are three modes in the game making it diverse in how you play. There are single player and multi player modes and they both play differently. In single player adventure mode, there are 5 levels. You start your epic journey in the reef, surrounded by a multitude of creatures. Your goal is to eat up the smaller ones and grow your fish so that you can eat bigger fish than the ones you ate before. Eventually, you work your way up to being the king fish. However, it should be noted that there are different goals in every level so it's important that you follow the on screen directions. You also amass points during this and the player with the highest points wins!
The second mode is called "Flippy Fish." Oh, yes. It had to be done in this game, too! If you've played "Flappy Bird" then you'll be well acquainted with how to play this mode. If you're not familiar, then listen closely: You have to navigate your fish through the level and you attain points along the way. Your goal is to capture as many points as possible by traversing past goal points. This is a very reflex demanding mode so be sure you've had your daily dose of caffeine for the day as it might help you to achieve the King of the Ocean victory. You are also able to post your results on the Miiverse so you can compete with other players to some extend.
The third mode is called "Egg Survivor." In this mode, you are given six eggs that you have to protect with your life. You can eat other fish in the area without worrying about your size with the exception of the evil and vindictive barracuda!
In the multiplayer modes of the aforementioned modes, it's pretty much the same thing except with players. It should be noted that this is only a local multiplayer game as online play is not possible at this time. Perhaps in a future release online mode will be implemented.
You can get more information on Nitrolic Games website. Plenty of Fishies is due to release on the Nintendo Wii U eShop on December 18th, 2014 and will cost $5. So if you're into party games or just want something that's quick and fun to play, be sure to check this title out!

3 #Canberra Beanies
Mandalay Bus (Braddon)
The Mandalay food bus (actually a cleverly fitted out food truck in an old bus chassis) is a long-standing Canberra institution. I've been there and enjoyed the foods too many times to count and every foodie in Canberra has a story to tell about it, either from a recent trip or from decades ago when it first became popular.
I will come back to this post and add some stories and newsclips about how loved and admired the bus is amongst decades of clientele.
In the last couple of years the bus has experienced a classic inner-city hipster revival as food vans and trucks experience a world=wide renaissance. The bus was recently resuscitated by a group of young local chefs working with the son of the original owner.
Although the hours vary you can usually find the lights on and a small crowd milling in the adjoining carpark.
My recent experience was of a friendly and cool atmosphere with amazingly delicious food.
It wasn't very big, but this $9 satay chicken kimchee roti from tasted like nothing else I'd had. It packed a big flavour punch and I was tempted to buy a few more… maybe another time.
The Mandalay Bus opens most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and the menu varies regularly – giving regulars plenty of reasons to come back for more! Three Canberra Beanies.
Brindabella Café (Inside the DFAT building, Barton)
Three #Canberra Beanies
Brindabella Café in Barton is one of those classic Canberra gems that you could easily (and regularly) drive past without ever noticing what was there or what you were missing. This is what the building looks like from the outside:
The Cafe has a web presence via facebook where the chef regularly posts details of their daily specials. As well as amazing lunchtime fare and quick service there is also an excellent coffee service with a wide selection of cakes and biscuits for those he seek sweet temptations.
I've always believed pictures speak louder than words. Here are a few examples of recent meals that my colleagues and I have enjoyed here;
Delicious slow/cooked duck leg, potato gratin, rocket/Parmesan/pear salad only $10.50!
Delicious Malay-style chicken curry with potato, coconut and rice. Only $12 with a 500ml drink!
Only $12 for 500ml sugar-free mother & a large plate of 5 tasty salads.
In the APH triangle there are still good affordable lunch around if you know where to look!: pumpkin, ricotta, fritters, salad, prawn spring roll and sugar-free mother all for $14
The Brindabella Café is well worth a visit. Even if you forget your lunch break you can occasionally (if you're lucky) pick up boxed left-overs from the fridges after the café staff have started to clean and pack up. But if if you want to see why DFAT staff like their cafeteria so much, get here early for the best choice of freshly made food. In fact, its probably best to get here slightly before they do! No hesitation in giving the Brindabella Café in DFAT three #Canberra beanies.
Lunch specials at Francisco's Mexican Cantina in Manuka
Last week I had the pleasure of enjoying the amazingly filling (and quite delicious) $18 Burrito Bowl (just the insides of a Burrito on a plate, without the carbs of the wrap) at Francisco's Mexican Cantina in Manuka Village Canberra.
You can choose from a variety of filings. I chose beef and bean and loved it. In fact I would probably have been happy with a smaller size which was only $10 (the large plate is very large and filling and could easily feed two people).
But I persevered and began to feel the early stages of a food coma after returning to work 🙂
I will definitely return to try other variations as well as other items from the specials board.
Francisco's can also be found on twitter @FranciscosMex, Facebook and via their website.
They also serve a mean cup of coffee.
If you like Mexican food and affordable lunch specials, Francisco's is a great option, particularly amongst the high-priced restaurant in and around Manuka.
Three #Canberra Beanies!
Lunchtime Specials at Plumb on Tennant in Fyshwick
Three #Canberra Beanies
There are so many hidden lunchtime gems across Canberra that it would be physically impossible for one person to try them all in a lifetime. Many places are well-hidden and can only be found by word of mouth , news stories, tips from Canberra's many foodies, or just plain luck (Urban Spoon is another option too 🙂
One of these hidden gems has a talented team of staff who are happy and comfortable serving everything from affordable and honest lunchtime fare loved by busy tradies, to more elaborately cooked meals for business and celebratory lunches. Plumb on Tennant is located on Tennant Street in Fyshwick. They have a comprehensive lunchtime menu with lots of affordable options:
I enjoyed a delicious $10 grilled scotch fillet burger with a side of $3 fries!
The burger was tender and the toppings were well-balanced. The fries were awesome (clearly hand-cut and perhaps slightly boiled prior to frying, ensuring a crispy exterior and creamy inside – how they should be!) I asked about the bread, which seemed a bit nicer than your average burger fare and was pleasantly surprised to learn they source all their buns from Flute bakery in Fyshwick, which I had previously rated highly for their pies and sweets. It's always good to see local businesses supporting each other and not cutting corners on locally-sourced ingredients.
This place is recommended if you're ever in the area and want a quick bite or you can check out their larger menus for other tasty options for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be back and will probably have a longer chat with the owner, who has worked in the local hospitality business for a long time and clearly has a lot of Canberra foodie stories to share. Three Canberra Beanies!
Lunchtime Laksa at Cafe Bamboo Braddon
After a hot tip from Laksa connoisseur @rachiperera I enjoyed an AMAZING $15 lunch at Café Bamboo on Lonsdale Street Braddon. I was once a regular at this place a few years ago when I worked in Braddon and am familiar with their popular lunchboxes and noodle soups.
The Laksa was only $12.50 (order and pay at the counter) and there was a wide selection of well-priced drinks from the self-serve fridge. I picked up a tasty aloe vera drink for only $2.50.
The taste and texture of the Laksa was sensational, with a generous topping of crunchy fried onion, plenty of bean curd, seafood and vegetables as well as a combination of noodles. It was the best Laksa I had ever tasted but was great value at 12.50. Café Bamboo is highly recommended and gets three #Canberra Beanies!
Lunchtime specials at Taze Mediterannean Genge Street Canberra
Today I enjoyed something that has been on my to-do list for a while. A few times in the past 5 years it has been there I have enjoyed lunch and dinner with friends at Taze on Genge Street in the centre of Canberra. I wouldn't normally describe their menu as "cheap" or "highly affordable" but the service is great and atmosphere and food usually delicious. The business is run by a local family with a Turkish background and the food is authentic Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and worth a trip.
Recently I learnt that they also do $10 take-away lunch boxes so decided to try one! I started with a chicken skewer with rice and salad.
The chicken was delicious and cooked well. The meat had been marinated in tasty garlic-infused spices still juicy inside despite the char-grilled cooking method.
I particularly enjoyed the rice, with the addition of small brown pasta in the cooked rice reminding me how mum often made it when I was growing up. My background is Lebanese but there are many similarities in the way numerous Mediterranean cuisines share cooking methods and styles.
For $10 the Taze lunch boxes are good value. They are cheaper options around Garema Place but the quality of the food and portions are good for a quick and healthy lunch.
There is an online menu available at the website here: http://www.taze.com.au/
The Taze $10 lunch specials get Three Canberra Beanies.
Treehouse Lunch Specials
The Treehouse on Northbourne Avenue (near London Circuit in the Sydney Building) is better known as a bar than one of Canberra's hidden affordable eats. The food here is also a good example of why I prefer to say "affordable eats" rather than "cheap eats". Although the price of their lunch specials is "cheap" the quality is far better than one would expect for a $9 meal.
Here's the menu for the lunch specials, which only run Wednesday to Friday.
There are other specials that run during different days and times of the week.
On my first trip I did ask for the braised osso bucco as recommended by my friend Eileen (@TheFoodAvenue) however I had arrived a bit late in the lunch period and they had sold out. Instead I ordered the char-grilled calamari, and I was not disappointed!
You probably noticed a near-empty beer glass in the picture above? boy was I thirsty that day 🙂 Yes, along with the $9 lunch special there is a $3 drink special and it includes some very tasty craft beers. Can you tell from the picture below which one I chose?
The $9 lunch and $3 beer are pretty hard to beat in value. The service is great and at only $12 there is still change left over from $15 for a nice coffee after your meal as well. This place is great!
A few days later I got a chance for a second shot with a group of friends from #Humanbrochure. Eileen had invited a bunch of us to try Treehouse for a "#Canberra Foodie First Friday affordable lunch" that we are trying to hold on a regular basis to showcase and share some of the city's hidden gastronomic gems. Luckily each foodie ordered a different dish and we were able to take a close look at them, including the Sourdough Bread with olives and dipping oil. Naturally I ordered the Osso Bucco (as did someone else) and neither of us were disappointed. It was an outstanding meal. My only complaint was that I wanted more of it. However it's a very healthy and reasonable portion for $9 so I didn't! 🙂
The good news is that although there aren't many tables at Treehouse it was possible to book a 'space' upstairs for a small group where they will move some small tables and stools together. 6-8 people is about the limit though. But with great food, drink and the right company it's always possible to have a great time. And when you have lunch with other foodies you know you will spend at least some of that time taking photos and discussing food!
Treehouse gets three #Canberra Beanies !

This thesis focuses on the study of the interactions between polyelectrolytes and surfactants in aqueous solutions and at interfaces, as well as on the structural changes these molecules undergo due to that interaction. Small–angle neutron scattering, dynamic, and static light scattering were the main techniques used to investigate the interactions in bulk. The first type of polymer studied was a negatively charge glycoprotein (mucin); its interactions with ionic sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants and nonionic surfactants were determined. This system is of great relevance for several applications such as oral care and pharmaceutical products, since mucin is the main component of the mucus layer that protects the epithelial surfaces (e.g. oral tissues). Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the other hand, has been used as foaming agent in tooth pastes for a very long time. In this work it is seen how SDS is very effective in dissolving the large aggregates mucin forms in solution, as well as in removing preadsorbed mucin layers from different surfaces. On the other hand, the nonionic surfactant n-dodecyl β-D-maltopyranoside (C12-mal), does not affect significantly the mucin aggregates in solution, neither does it remove mucin effectively from a negatively charge hydrophilic surface (silica). It can be suggested that nonionic surfactants (like the sugar–based C12-mal) could be used to obtain milder oral care products. The second type of systems consisted of positively charged polyelectrolytes and a negatively charged surfactant (SDS). These systems are relevant to a wide variety of applications ranging from mining and cleaning to gene delivery therapy. It was found that the interactions of these polyelectrolytes with SDS depend strongly on the polyelectrolyte structure, charge density and the solvent composition (pH, ionic strength, and so on). Large solvent isotopic effects were found in the interaction of polyethylene imine (PEI) and SDS, as well as on the interactions of this anionic surfactant and the sugar–based n-decyl β-D-glucopyranoside (C10G1). These surfactants mixtures formed similar structures in solutions to the ones formed by some of the polyelectrolytes studied, i.e. ellipsoidal micelles at low electrolyte concentration and stiff rods, at high electrolyte and SDS concentrations.
The properties of negatively charged mucin in aqueous solutions and its interaction with anionic sodium alkyl sulfates with different hydrocarbon chain lengths were studied by means of dynamic light scattering. It was observed that mucin forms aggregates in aqueous solutions with a hydrodynamic radius above 500 nm. These aggregates dissolve when sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium decyl sulfate is present at sufficiently high concentration, above about 0.2 cmc (critical micellar concentration). On the other hand, sodium octyl sulfate is not very effective in dissolving the mucin aggregates. The hydrodynamic radius of the dissolved mucin, decorated with some associated surfactant, is found to be in the range of 40-90 nm. The observation that the dissolving power of the sodium alkyl sulfates decreases with decreasing surfactant chain length suggests that the association between the surfactant and mucin is hydrophobically driven. The kinetics of the dissolution process depends on the surfactant concentration, a higher surfactant concentration giving rise to a more rapid dissolution of the aggregates. It was also observed that when the ionic strength is increased, the surfactant concentration needed to dissolve the mucin aggregates decreases. This can be explained by reduction of repulsive electrostatic forces by the salt.
The association between mucin and surfactants at the solid-liquid interface has been investigated employing reflectometry. The study is particularly aimed at understanding the removal of preadsorbed mucin layers by surfactant addition. To this end we investigated the effect of three different surfactants, one anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), and two nonionic ones, penta(oxy ethylene) dodecyl ether (C12E5) and n-dodecyl beta-D-maltopyranoside (C-12-mal), All three surfactants were found to be potent in removing mucin from hydrophobic surfaces. On the otherhand, C-12-mal was found to have a very limited effect on mucin adsorbed to hydrophilic negatively charged surfaces, whereas the mucin layer was removed by SDS and C12E5. The association between mucin and the three different surfactants was also investigated by means of dynamic light scattering and surface tension measurements. It was concluded that SDS associates readily with mucin above a critical surfactant concentration, about 0.2 cmc, whereas the nonionic surfactants associate with mucin to a very limited degree. The results obtained with the different techniques allow us to propose that C12E5 removes mucin from silica surfaces by competitive adsorption, whereas the removal of mucin by SDS is due to formation of mucin/SDS complexes that have reduced surface affinity and increased water solubility compared to mucin alone.
The association between a highly branched polyelectrolyte with ionizable groups, polyethylene imine (PEI), and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), has been investigated at two pH values, using small-angle neutron and light scattering. The scattering data allow us to obtain a detailed picture of the association structures formed. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements in solutions containing highly charged PEI at low pH and low SDS concentrations indicate the presence of disklike aggregates. The aggregates change to a more complex three-dimensional structure with increasing surfactant concentration. One pronounced feature in the scattering curves is the presence of a Bragg-like peak at high q-values observed at a surfactant concentration of 4.2 mM and above. This scattering feature is attributed to the formation of a common well-ordered PEI/SDS structure, in analogue to what has been reported for other polyelectrolyte-surfactant systems. Precipitation occurred at the charge neutralization point, and X-ray diffraction measurements on the precipitate confirmed the existence of an ordered structure within the PEI/SDS aggregates, which was identified as a lamellar internal organization. Polyethylene imine has a low charge density in alkaline solutions. At pH 10.1 and under conditions where the surfactant was contrast matched, the SANS scattering curves showed only small changes with increasing surfactant concentration. This suggests that the polymer acts as a template onto which the surfactant molecules aggregate. Data from both static light scattering and SANS recorded under conditions where SDS and to a lower degree PEI contribute to the scattering were found to be consistent with a structure of stacked elliptic bilayers. These structures increased in size and became more compact as the surfactant concentration was increased up to the charge neutralization point.
A low charge density polyelectrolyte with a high graft density of 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) side-chains has been synthesized. In this comb polymer, denoted PEO(45)MEMA:METAC-2, 2 mol% of the repeating methacrylate units in the polymer backbone carry a permanent positive charge and the remaining 98 mol% a 45 unit long PEO side-chain. Here we describe the solution conformation of this polymer and its association with an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS. It will be shown that the polymer can be viewed as a stiff rod with a cross-section radius of gyration of 29 A. The cross section of the rod contracts with increasing temperature due to decreased solvency of the PEO side-chains. The anionic surfactant associates to a significant degree with PE045MEMA:METAC-2 to form soluble complexes at all stoichiometries. A cooperative association is observed as the free SDS concentration approaches 7 mM. At saturation the number of SDS molecules associated with the polymer amounts to 10 for each PEO side-chain. Two distinct populations of associated surfactants are observed, one is suggested to be molecularly distributed over the comb polymer and the other constitutes small micellar-like structures at the periphery of the aggregate. These conclusions are reached based on results from small-angle neutron scattering, static light scattering, NMR, and surface tension measurements.
Solvent isotope effects on the interaction between the hyperbranched cationic polyelectrolyte, polyethylene imine (PEI), and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were investigated using potentiometric titration and eletrophoretic mobility measurements. In the basic pH range, a significantly higher fraction of the amine groups was found to be protonated when the PEI was dissolved in D2O compared to H2O at the same pH/pD. The difference in polymer charge in the two solvents decreases gradually with decreasing pH, and it completely diminishes at around pH = 4. Electrophoretic mobility measurements of PEI/SDS complexes at different pH values correlated very well with these observations. At pH/pD approximate to 9 a much higher mobility of the PEI/SDS complexes was found in D2O than in H2O at low surfactant concentrations, and the charge neutralization point shifted to a considerably larger surfactant concentration in heavy water. These results can be explained by the significantly higher charge density of the PEI in D2O compared to H2O. However, at the natural pH/pD as well as at pH = 4 and pD = 4 conditions the PEI molecules have roughly equal charge densities, which result in very similar charged characteristics (mobilities) of the PEI/SDS complexes as well as the same charge neutralization SDS concentration. It can be concluded that extreme care must be taken in the general analysis of those experiments in which weak polyelectrolyte/surfactant aggregates are investigated in heavy water, and then these observations are correlated with structures of the same system in water.
The size and shape of micelles formed in aqueous mixtures of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the nonionic sugar-based surfactant n-decyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (C(10)G) at different concentrations of added salt have been investigated with small-angle neutron and static light scattering. Rather small prolate ellipsoidal micelles form in the absence of added salt and at [NaCl] = 10 mM in D2O. The micelles grow considerably in length to large rods as the electrolyte concentration is raised to [NaCl] = 0.1 M. In excess of nonionic surfactant ([SDS]/[C(10)G] = 1:3) at [NaCl] = 0.1 M in D2O, several thousands of Angstroms long wormlike micelles are observed. Most interestingly, a conspicuously large isotope solvent effect was observed from static light scattering data according to which micelles formed at [SDS]/[C(10)G] = 1:3 and [NaCl] = 0.1 M in H2O are at least five times smaller than micelles formed in the corresponding samples in D2O.
Aqueous solution properties of bottle brush polyelectrolytes, where side-chains are attached to a polymer backbone, have been studied. The side chains consist of 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) groups and the backbone is of the methacrylate type. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to elucidate the solution conformation of this class of polymer and how it is affected by the side chain density and charge density. The effect of temperature on the solution conformation, and in particular the side chain extension, has also been quantified. At higher concentrations the interactions between the polymer chains in solution affects the scattering, and it is shown that this interaction is well described by a model originally developed for wormlike micelles.

Killing Weed Trees Mixed With Lilacs
Three years ago, I moved back into a house I'd lived in as a child. The house was a rental for 27 years and the landscaping was indifferently maintained. Three lilac bushes that my mother planted in 1977 remain, but weed trees have grown in amongst the roots of two of them. I have twice cut the trees as close to the ground as possible, but I'm also active duty military and have been deployed over the last two growing seasons and the buggers keep growing back taller than the lilacs while I'm away. What can I do to kill these things without killing the lilacs as well?

Addressing the need to modernise the building both internally and externally, the Design and Workplace Strategy team engaged with the client and wider multi-disciplinary consultants to deliver this large refurbishment project.
Increasing the appeal of the building by replacing the Ground Floor facade glazing with large frameless glazing, further work was undertaken to introduce light in the building, specifically at Lower Ground Floor level. Cutting away the Ground Floor structural slab adjacent to the pavement and installing glazing modules offers natural light to that level, increasing the net internal area available for office accommodation.
Internally, the building was stripped back to shell and core. The design team carefully selected and set out new ceilings, raised floors and lighting to provide a much needed 'wow' factor to the lettable office spaces. The common parts areas were redesigned with new finishes, as were the reception area, lift cars & WCs. Showers and a bike storage facility were introduced as part of the BREEAM strategy for the building.
Capita Real Estate and Infrastructure work with public and private sector organisations to design, build and optimise their real estate and infrastructure assets. From thought to finish, we apply our combined expertise to achieve more from the entire built environment.
We build competitive advantage through intelligently applied real estate and infrastructure solutions and enhance our clients' standing in a forever-changing world.

Zimbabwe - Country Portrait
- Name: The name Zimbabwe originally derives from the stone structures of Dzimbabwe and means "stone houses".
- Area: 390,757 square kilometers
- Population: 15.263.000 (2018)
- Population density: ca. 32 inhabitants per square kilometer (compare Germany: 229 inhabitants per square kilometer)
- Official language: English, Shona, Ndebele
- Independent: since 1980
- Capital: Harare
- Form of government: Parliamentary democracy
- Average life expectancy: (2017)
- 63,5 years (female)
- 59,8 years (male)
- Illiteracy rate:
- 7 % (female)
- 4 % (male)
- Top 3 export goods: Gems and precious metals, tobacco, nickel
- Known for: Lake Kariba which forms the world's largest natural reservoir.
Zimbabwe borders the states of Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zambia and is dominated by mountainous land. The climate is tropical with a rainy season between November and March. Formerly known Southern Rhodesia, it has belonged to the British Commonwealth since 1923. Since the first free elections in 1979, Zimbabwe has been independent since 1980.
Culturally, Zimbabwe is still strongly influenced by the former colonial power Britain. The language, education, habits of the educated class and preferences for football clubs are closely connected with the British heritage. The education system which was largely supported by the churches during the colonial period was further developed by the government since the country's independence. However, it suffers from severe under-funding due to the economic crisis. The illiteracy rate is around 9 percent.
Zimbabwe has fertile soil, abundant mineral resources (gold, platinum, diamonds, copper, nickel, chromium, coal, and rare earths) as well as natural touristic attractions such as the Victoria Falls and the Zambezi Valley. The country thus has considerable economic potential. Until the mid 1990s, agriculture, mining, and tourism flourished. Since the late 1990s, however, Zimbabwe has steadily decreased tapping this potential. At the end of 2008, hyperinflation, foreign currency shortage, lack of investment, import and export restrictions, and energy shortages caused all sectors of the economy to almost come to a complete halt. Zimbabwe is still one of the poorest countries in the world. Life expectancy is almost 61 years. It ranks 156 out of 189 on the Human Development Index. Much of the population lives in extreme poverty.

A journalist has auditioned for talent show the X Factor as part of a feature for the newspaper.
Zara Whelan, who works for the Daily Post, in North Wales, was sent to try out after talent scouts for the ITV programme offered trials in Llandudno.
Zara opted to sing Shirley Bassey's 1966 hit Big Spender in the audition, going a capella after not realising she could bring a backing track with her.
In the resulting feature for the Daily Post, Zara described the experience as "incredibly intimidating".
She wrote: "Singing for just a minute felt like a lifetime. I was approaching the last three of the Hey Big Spenderrrrrrrs. I knew it could be my undoing.
"For some reason at that point I remembered there was a growing crowd on the other side of the flimsy screen. I felt so exposed.
"But I did it. Whether it was in tune or not, is a different story. But I opened my eyes, [the two scouts] Toyah and Jordy gave me an obligatory applause. I was then asked what winning the competition would mean to me. I could just about muster the words 'because my kids would think I'm cool.
"I left the booth to a roaring applause from the others in the waiting area. That bit was nice.
"And that was it. I auditioned for X-Factor and I survived. The adrenaline rush afterwards was amazing, but as someone who is not a natural performer, it's not something I'd do again in a hurry. Not that they'd let me.
"Who knows, I might make it as a token comedy act."
If Zara is successful, she will be notified by 25 July.

International Schools are they really registered as schools under the ministry of education?
Posted on October 18th, 2017
By, Prof. Nishan C. Wijesinha
After Alethea International School situated at N0.15,Sri Mahabodhi Road, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka; it is reportedly understood that no other private teaching institute was given recognition under the ministry of education as a school registered under the norms of the ministry of education; to function in Sri Lanka.
But there are many so called international schools operating in Sri Lanka who are registering their students to the local syllabus which is offered by the ministry of education, under their international tag.
Allowing such procedures to take place makes room for error that these so called schools too are registered schools operating under the umbrella of the ministry of education.
If the needed actions are not taken to correct these errors; then education in Sri Lanka will be ruined by a politicized business mafia.

A yarn stash is a common problem among crocheters. It's not that we don't know what to do with the yarn, it's just that we keep buying more yarn than what we can handle. There are too many crochet designs out there and too many yarn sales. And in my case, I have way to many ideas rolling around in my head for new designs.
Don't get me wrong… I'm not complaining. Never!
But, it can get overwhelming sometimes when you look at your yarn stash and all the things you have planned. There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done it seems.
I had done pretty good all winter and had designed many patterns in attempt to get rid of some of my scrap yarns. Here is a small collage of my stashbuster patterns from within the last year or so.
My Stashbuster Patterns – All Patterns are available for FREE on CrochetN'Crafts
All above patterns can be found on CrochetN'Crafts.
Just recently I found some more cotton yarn. I thought I had used it all up a year ago, but I had enough left over for a small dishcloth pattern. The pattern is still being tested and will be available on my pattern site soon:
I still have a lot more scraps to get rid of. My inspirations for scrap patterns just aren't that good so not sure when I'll succeed at getting rid of my stash … of if ever. I'm thinking of lots more Barbie patterns, but we'll see.

When working as a designer, there are many fields in which you can use your talents. From graphic design to web design, there are lots of opportunities in certain sectors for you to enjoy a successful career. One such industry is interior design where professional designers use their skills to improve the ambience and aesthetic of home interiors. As with all design-led professions, this relies heavily on your creativity and also finding inspiration to use in your own interior design projects.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that this is all about ultra-modern trends and contemporary materials though. Many interior designers are still looking to traditional ideas in order to find their inspiration. But what classic design ideas are coming back into fashion now?
Window shutters
Many interior designers use curtains or blinds on their projects and one of the best alternative decor ideas that is becoming trendy again is wooden window shutters. Not only does the wood give a great natural look to any home but the shutters themselves are a really attractive focal point. Many interior designers use them for their practical value as well. Not only do they make it easier to control the temperature in your home, they can be closed for complete privacy, too. They come in many different styles and materials, and also provide designers with great versatility in how to use them.
Although it has never truly been consigned to the design dustbin, wallpaper has been a little overshadowed in recent years. With many designers using paint to achieve the look they want wallpaper has taken a backseat somewhat of late. This looks set to change now though as papering your wall in a range of colors and designs is back in favor. This is great news for any designers due to the sheer choice it gives in how to decorate a room and achieve an amazing visual impact. Large print wallpaper in particular looks set to be big again especially when used to create a feature wall. As with paint, you can easily find any color of wallpaper you like to set the perfect mood for the room it is in.
Wicker and bamboo
One of the big interior design trends recently has been the natural look that creates a calm, serene space. This looks set to continue as the urge to connect with nature becomes stronger in terms of decorating a home. Another classic look that is perfect for this modern trend is using wicker or bamboo on your projects. From wicker chairs in a conservatory to the master bed's headboard, there are many ways to incorporate it in your designs. The net result is a laidback, coastal feel which allows the homeowner to really relax.
Pastel colors
Last popular in the 1980's, pastel colors look set to make a comeback anytime soon. The key thing to remember here is to use them tastefully so you do not end up with a Miami Vice style finish. Pastels are actually a great tool to create visual impact and style when used right. Using this classic design idea in the modern home means painting dining chairs in light yellows or blues and using a pastel color on walls to achieve the desired effect. You can even paint tables and cupboards with pastel colors for truly unique finishes. With the right lighting, pastel colors will come alive in any property.
At one time, having plants in your home was pretty much something everyone did. Although it has dropped out of fashion recently, this is one classic trend that is set to be seen again. As designers begin to respond to their clients demands for cleaner living, features like houseplants are gold dust. Not only do they help bring nature inside, but the plants will also help to clean the air inside the home. With so many great looking ones to choose from, this is an easy and inexpensive classic trend to start using again.
Old classics are here again
Although they may drop in and out of fashion at times, the old classics of interior design never truly disappear. As the above shows, there are plenty making a comeback now that designers can take creative inspiration from. All will help to create that important wow factor in any project you take on while also helping you to find exciting new interior design ideas to use.

Writing an email newsletter is among the trickiest marketing stumbling blocks for small business owners. In truth this task does not have to be all that difficult and sometimes is over complicated by not having a clear goal in mind.
Remember the key purpose of a newsletter is to maintain a relationship with customers, which in turn develops additional sales. A good online marketing agency would be able to help out with this but the cost can sometimes put people off this.
To assist with this service, please take a look at 6 tips that will help you write your email newsletter with much less difficulty.

Facebook Paid Traffic – Killer Tips And Tricks
You should make sure that your email newsletter is as short as possible. Remember, your readers are busy and do not have the time for reading lots of text, even though it is interesting. Keeping the newsletter short makes your readers think of it as a simple commitment. When readers know that your email newsletter can be read in less than 5 minutes, they are more likely to open and read it regularly.
Having three content pieces in your email updates is enough for a good well rounded newsletter. Make one long piece and 2 shorter pieces. The long piece could be roughly 500 words while the shorter pieces could be 150-200 words. This way, your entire email could be just 900 words.
By cutting length as well as paring down to three pieces of the email, you will have made things a lot simpler for your readers, as well as for yourself. A medium-length article and 2 shorter bytes are easy to write for an email newsletter.
Use the newsletter as an opportunity to tell your clients things you wish they knew or even questions they want answered. Therefore, before starting to write, talk to your customer service representative. Learn what confuses people, things that should be expounded to them, part of your businesses that they require a brief lesson on and what they could be told to improve their experience with you.
If talking to your customer service representative did not trigger enough ideas, look to the news. If you have been reading something interesting recently, big national news stories or any news developments in your business, all this is fine material for a newsletter. Keep in mind that you do not have to write expert-quality research articles. Relaxed, friendly pieces in your own words are fine. Short book reviews, tools, tricks as well as apps you like are all good.
After your chat with the customer service representative and scanning through the reading highlights of the week, you should have enough to write about. Choose the 3 easiest or most fascinating items and write about them. If you do not have the words flowing, do not worry. You have your secret weapon, the outline. With a well-defined outline, writing your email newsletter will be very easy.

In 2016 NBCF has committed over $12 million to fund more than 30 research projects that will contribute towards our goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. This year we have continued to fund innovative projects that investigate new avenues for treatment, and new applications for existing treatments to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients. The researchers will explore promising areas of investigation, some of which include more effective immunotherapies for hard to treat breast cancers, targeted treatment delivery systems, and predictive tests for relapsing cancer. NBCF also launched the Leadership Fellowship, a five year grant which allows a senior researcher to address some of the big questions in breast cancer. In total, since 1994, NBCF has awarded more than $127 million to around 430 Australian-based research projects to improve the health and well-being of those affected by breast cancer.
We believe research is the most effective way to end breast cancer. Our aspirational goal is to achieve zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. With 42 Australians diagnosed each day and seven dying from the disease, there is still much to do.
FOHER Multisport will donate 5% from the sale of each Pink Bike Posse singlet and t-shirt to the NBCF.

29/07/2016 11:53I recently purchases a 15kg Rocna anchor 2nd hand from the marina i am berthed in in Spain. It seems to work well, but someone has informed me that a few years ago Rocna had problems with the steel that some were made from. Is there any way I can find out if the one I have bought is one from the faulty batch? I do anchor regularly and need to have confidence in my equipment.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Exotic Animals LLC
About Us
Contact Us
Tiny Tracks Exotic Animals LLC
The Raccoon is one of the most fascinating and intelligent animals around. Raccoons are
VERY inquisitive and will seldom pass up the opportunity to investigate anything. They absolutely love shiny objects.
Our Raccoons are more than 30 generations from the wild
and are domestically breed. A Raccoon loves to play and explore.
When you receive your raccoon it comes with a detailed care plan. We also recommend to spay or neuter your raccoon so
will not get grouchy or want to run away at breeding season. We recommend you spend quality time with your animal to ensure their happiness.
We usually start distribution in May each year. When you receive your raccoon it will be drinking from a bottle. In most cases
, this is great for bonding with your animal. Do not
you animal! Your new raccoon will need a
environment. Place a sweatshirt of your into the place where you are keeping your baby.
This way it can stay warm and dry. Change it as needed. When it starts getting bigger and playing more remove this from where you are keeping it.
Stimulation you will NOT need to do this.
At 10 weeks old the coon should be fully weaned from the bottle. Please note they will still want the bottle as the formula is like ice cream to them a big treat!
At 12 weeks they should be eating dry food. Do not give your coon junk food! This will cause runny stools ect.
Also please note that if you have a cat you should have a separate litter box for your coon. Please note do not feed your coon any type of seafood they get aggressive if you do this.
Also do not feed your raccoon cat food. Having a raccoon can be a rewarding experience. Each coon have their own special personalities. Our raccoon like to have movie night where we have popcorn and watch videos.

Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to read this page and for your interest in sponsoring what we are doing. We are taking a two pronged approach to Women in Sport. These are :
• Grassroots activities and training
• Media and publicity
How can you help? We are always looking for ways to improve our services to sports and the women who play them, we and we will continue to push the boundaries as much as possible. To do this, we need your help. Whether is a direct donation, your time, or even support with equipment/materials, we are grateful for you help and choosing us to work with.
For sponsorships, we can discuss what it is that you are looking for and on what platform, but are always happy to work together. Please send us an email at email@example.com and lets discuss how we can work together.
A little more on what we do with WSN and our Sister group, W Sports.
Grassroot Development
Our grassroots program is managed by W Sports Inc, a not for profit focussing on the introduction and retainment of Women and Girls in sports. W Sports also runs our Footy Mums Program, along with our coaching and referring development program. We are focussing on football (soccer) as the initial game, but are ready to increase to multiple sports in the near future through expansion by cooperation and the development of new leagues.
Footy Mums
W Sports, working in partnership with iSoccer Australia, has set out to create an environment that was comfortable, enjoyable and flexible to cater the needs of Queensland's diverse female community.
W Sports is excited to launch the new Footy Mums initiative for 2018. This programme is designed to allow all ladies the opportunity to try football for the first time. Whether you are a "soccer mum" taking your children to training, a female looking for a new and enjoyable way to keep fit, or looking to return to a fun format of football, Footy Mums provides the perfect foundation.
Hannah, who began playing football last year as her daughter joined the Footy Mums initiative, loves how the new format fits around her commitments. "It's amazing… it gets me out of the house but works around my work and childcare commitments. It's improved my fitness whilst giving me the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy a sport I previously felt excluded from. "
Footy Mums is held during the day while the kids are at school and provisions are made for mums who bring toddlers or pre-school aged children with them. All games are designed to finish before school is out to work with the mums ongoing commitments. The expansion of the program is designed to create a new inter-mural league with exercise, fun and friendship at its core. The program is free of charge to participants.
A similar program is being run in Victoria called Soccer Mums.
Coaching & Referring
There is a significant shortage of properly qualified female coaches and referees in sports in Australia. While sports such as netball, golf, tennis, hockey and swimming are well represented, sports such as football, rugby, AFL, etc.
Mentorship Program
The W Mentorship Program is designed to train young female coaches, who in turn will act as educators and mentors to students in schools who wish to further develop and progress their sports, and/or coaching careers.
The mentorship program is part of a holistic support system approach to enabling promising young athletes to train as coaches and then take these skills and support girls in primary and high schools through their development. W Sports is aiming to increase the number of active and elite female coaches and to create an improved female coaching culture. The mentee coaches will eventually be able to step into a coaching leadership role as they attain their National B license.
The program is specifically designed where the mentees will get guidance, support, personal development along with ongoing employment opportunities.
W Sports works with other sporting organisations to engage women and girls into an environment where a multitude of sporting opportunities exist year round, in a safe and non-threatening environment.
Many clubs do not have the ability to serve female players, whether due to facilities, level of female recruitment or general apathy in the female game, and because of such do not actively seek women or girls out for their clubs, or do not offer female only teams and players need to participate in 'mixed' teams.
Our position is to work with the clubs to develop their women's teams on their behalf utilising the W Sports facilities and female coaching staff to develop leagues access to many clubs who do not currently have this. By centralising the management of this, allows us to work across a more diverse area and age range, while developing a foundation of qualified female coaching staff, mentors and leaders
The facilities for these sports are well served with consciously designed amenities for use by women and girls.
The Women's Sports Network (WSN)
The Women's Sports Network (WSN) is our media arm. It is again a not for profit entity, which is designed to be a 25 hour women's sports network channel. This service is designed to actively engage with female athletes and enhance their public perception encouraging a new generation of young athletes while addressing the gender bias of many sports. Female athletes also tend to get less 'air time' than their male counterparts as many advertisers and networks feel that their male stars are more commercial. WSN will be focussing on the promotion of professional female athletes across Queensland and Australia.
WSN currently has cooperation agreements in place with the University of Southern Queensland, and is currently seeking to acquire the old Briz31 slot on the FetchTV network which would allow us to reach a national audience on free to air digital TV. WSN is currently in the final stages of development of our WebMag with streaming Video on Demand and the development of in house sports variety program, entitled "Women in Sport".
This would be the only 100% Sports program in the world dedicated to women.

NICVA AGM and Conference Registration
Theme: Projecting and Protecting the Voluntary and Community Sector and its reputation.
For the 2018 AGM, please visit http://www.nicva.org/event/80-years-of-voluntary-action-nicva-celebratio...
The NICVA AGM and conference takes place on the morning of Friday 8 December. Registration, tea and coffee are available from 9.30am with the conference starting at 10.00am sharp and finishing at 12.30pm with lunch. The conference focuses on the reputation of the sector and NICVA will publish the findings of our latest Social Omnibus survey.
The survey was carried out by Millward Brown in face to face interviews with a representative sample of the Northern Ireland public.
NICVA believes voluntary and community organisations in Northern Ireland have a very good reputation. We believe that is something to protect but also to project. A trusted reputation and an authentic voice is critical to organisations getting their message across and effecting change.
Our two keynote speakers will share their experience on the theme:
Stephen Dunmore
Stephen was appointed as Chief Executive of the Fundraising Regulator in December 2015. He was previously Chief Executive of the New Opportunities Fund and the Big Lottery Fund.
Since leaving the Big Lottery Fund in 2008, Stephen has been Interim Chief Executive of the Responsible Gambling Fund, The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, the Lumos Foundation, the National Consumer Council and the Family and Childcare Trust. He was Chair of Capacitybuilders, National Family Mediation and the BBC's Awards Advisory Committee; and served as a member of the Office of the Third Sector's Advisory Body.
Stephen is a trustee of The Prince's Countryside Fund and a Council Member of the Society of Antiquaries.
Sarah Travers
Sarah is an experienced broadcast journalist and TV presenter, with a keen interest in stories and the people that shape them. Sarah is a familiar face to many in Northern Ireland, where she was news anchor in the BBC newsroom for 17 years. Sarah started her career with BBC Radio Foyle, and has presented lifestyle programming for UTV, Northern Ireland's commercial TV channel. As Director of Bespoke Communications, Sarah develops media and crisis communications training programmes for a range of different organisations in the public, private and third sectors. She continues to appear on-screen as a TV presenter on a range of programmes and documentaries. Sarah holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Nottingham Trent University.
For registration please click here.
