One of the three men who occupied the Australian consulate in Bali on Sunday says he is being pursued by the Indonesian military and does not believe Indonesia's assurances that he will not be arrested or detained.
On Tuesday the Greens senator Richard di Natale sought a guarantee from the Indonesian embassy in Australia that the trio would be safe, and said he was "encouraged" by an assurance from Indonesian diplomats that they would not be detained by Indonesian authorities.
But Rofinus Yanggam, phoning from an undisclosed location in Indonesia on Wednesday afternoon, told Guardian Australia that he was being followed by Indonesian military intelligence and did not believe the diplomats' assurances.
Asked for his response to the news, Yanggam said: "My response is it is not true, because [military intelligence officers] are still looking for us.
"Yesterday we came to our friend's house and two intelligence officers came past the front of our house [and looked in]. They came back in the night-time.
"We don't feel safe at this moment."
The three men occupied the consulate on Sunday to highlight the treatment of Papuans and called on the Australian government to apply pressure to Indonesia to release all Papuan political prisoners and to open up the secretive province to foreign journalists.
West Papua has been closed to foreign journalists since Indonesia acquired the province under controversial circumstances in the 1960s. Dozens of Papuans are in jail for expressing political opinions. The crime of "treason" carries a long jail term in Indonesia.
In an open letter to the Australian people, handed to consulate staff, the three protesters said they wanted their message to be delivered to leaders at the Apec meeting in Bali including the US State Secretary, John Kerry, and the Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott.
They claimed consular staff threatened to call the Indonesian police and military to have them ejected. This has been denied by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Dfat) which said: "The consul general did not make threats. He explained to the individuals that they were free to leave voluntarily."
Yanggam, who has been in hiding since he left the Australian consulate before 7am on Sunday morning in fear for his safety, explained what happened after the trio fled.
"When we go from Australian consulate, the special forces, the army forces from Indonesia, they are looking for us," he said. "That's why I did not feel comfortable to be there in Bali."
He said the trio had gone to stay with some friends in a dormitory but that military intelligence officers had arrived there asking about their whereabouts.
The group decided to leave Bali by bus. However, when they were on board two military officers stopped the bus and asked questions of the driver, he said.
"They stopped the bus and asked many questions. They asked to the driver, 'Those Papuan people, where do they want to go?'
"The driver told them where the bus was going, but he also talked to them. He said what are you looking for, and they told [him] that they are trying to check for bus fees, that this is the reason that they pulled [the bus over].
"But the real reason they are looking for us is because we went into the consulate," Yanggam said.
He said the group then decided it was unsafe to continue on their journey. They got off the bus and caught a later one to a different location.
They are now planning to go to a second undisclosed location. "It is not safe to say where," Yanggam said.
Di Natale said, in response to Yanggam's account: "I'm extremely concerned at the reports that the Indonesian authorities appear to be following the three West Papuan activists. It's vital that the Indonesians honour the commitment they made to me, which is that these three men will be safe."

text: From September 2017, people visiting the Emergency Department of Barnsley Hospital will be able to view a brand new video in the department aimed at keeping patients better informed. The video was the brainchild of staff from across the Trust undertaking the Hospital's internal 'Talent Management Programme' and aims to improve communication by providing up to date information about waiting times and explaining why people sometimes may have to wait to be seen longer than others. As a Trust, we recognise that sometimes, waiting to be treated by a Doctor or Nurse can prove a frustrating experience when attending the Emergency Department, especially if waiting rooms appear to be empty. What isn't always clear is that there are always reasons for any delay in getting seen. For example, the Doctors and Nurses may be dealing with a patient brought in by ambulance who needs immediate care in the department's resuscitation area and this wouldn't be seen by patient's attending via the waiting room. The video explains this and other reasons for our patients. Director of Strategy and Business Development, Bob Kirton said: "This is a really great idea thought up by our staff who have witnessed the frustrations of people waiting in our Emergency Department. We want to help people better understand how our services work and why there might be delays. Above all, we want people to understand that we do not want to keep them waiting and we are always doing our upmost to see patients as quickly as possible." Deputy Director of Operations Ben Brewis said: "Continual communication with our patients at the time of their greatest need is something that we strive to improve on, especially in busy environments such as A&E. This is at the heart of the development of our patient information video. We hope that being able to communicate key information such as waiting times and just how busy we are will help to improve the experience that our patients receive whilst being treated in A&E." The video was funded by Friends of Barnsley Hospital and features staff from the hospitals' emergency department. To access the video, please visit http://bit.ly/2hclwUl

People who covet YSL 's artful pieces may flock towards the exhibit to get a strong training in style record, but womenis history lovers might consider planning to notice the impact of Laurent on a broader activity.

New Rob Zombie's: TYRANNOSAURUS REX Art
Pretty slow news day, horror-wise. Since I'm following the progress of the flick, here's some brand-spankin'-new conceptual art for Rob Zombie's upcoming TYRANNOSAURUS REX:
If ya'll recall, the flick's synopsis is hazy at best, but seems to follow a similar storyline to that of the Niles/Zombie comic THE NAIL. So far, all we know is that the story follows a semi-pro wrestler (wrasslar) and his family being persued by a satanic biker gang from hell. Could be cool, and I for one am glad to see Zombie working on something fresh. I hope it's DEVIL'S REJECTS good. Stay tuned for more kiddos.

When it comes to high return rates for online retailers, many are quick to blame the customer: They are buying multiple sizes and colors and returning what they don't like. Or, they're "renting" the item by using it once and then returning it. Or, they're fickle and often change their minds. But consider this: According to a story in Chain Store Age, research by TrueShip data shows 67% of all returned online purchases are the fault of the retailer and not the customer. The company found:
Customers are often asked to indicate such errors by selecting from a list of reason codes on return merchandise authorization forms, used by many retailers. But sometimes returns don't fit those pre-defined choices, so the customer is forced to pick one that doesn't really apply.
So what happens to that data? Not much. Or at least, not much soon enough for the retailer to take action. But consider what would happen if the retailer could detect and act on patterns in returned merchandise quickly:
Those aren't the only retailer errors that could be fixed quickly by acting fast on returns data. Shipments missing a part, incorrect sizes, dead batteries – there are many things that can go wrong in fulfilling orders, causing high return rates. That means through proper returns management, there are also many opportunities to save future sales by righting the wrongs to satisfy customers the first time and prevent even higher return rates.
According to Aberdeen Group, businesses are increasingly aware of the connection between customer satisfaction and returns: 64% are targeting returns management as an avenue to improve overall customer satisfaction. The problem is that returns management is not a core competency of most retailers.
The key to leveraging return data lies in quickly analyzing it to find patterns. Reason codes, together with free-form customer comments on returns forms, remarks collected by call centers or social media, and even the observations of the people processing the returns, form a rich trove of data that help retailers quickly recognize problems and take action to reduce their high return rates.
Blaming the customer isn't going to solve retail return rate problems. Instead implementing a well constructed returns management program aimed to understanding and acting on returns data is the best way to prevent retail returns.

Snoggle raised his head wearily, letting his fingers splay on the tile floor. The water ran little rivers down his angular back.

The long-time stadium problems in Tampa Bay seem to have a possible solution in sight, as the Rays unveiled renderings for a possible future stadium in Ybor City yesterday.
With attendance numbers that regularly rank near, or at the bottom of all of baseball there have been debates going on for years now about what should happen to the franchise, including the possibility of the team moving if a solution could not be come up with to keep the team in the Tampa area.
Tampa Bay's future ballpark. https://t.co/d1hyjfsnxK
#RaysUp pic.twitter.com/jPDlNDD6cs
— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) July 10, 2018
Principal owner of the team Stu Sternberg said about the renderings of the stadium, "I speak for the whole Rays organization and the 20 years we've had here today that we expect to be here for generations to come. We believe that baseball can not only survive but thrive in Tampa, in Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay region."
The new stadium is set to have a total capacity of just over 30,000, which would make it the smallest ballpark in all of baseball, but with the low attendance numbers they've had over the course of their franchises history, trying to create some demand for tickets by having a smaller ballpark wouldn't be a bad idea.
Early projections on the costs of the stadium are around $900 million, but that seems really conservative to me and I wouldn't be surprised to see the costs of it clear $1 billion, which will still make this a ways out from happening as the Rays have to commit an amount of money that they'll contribute to the stadium and then the city will have to approve of footing the rest of the bill for the stadium, which could be a possible hangup.
Assuming the Rays are able to get this deal done and start construction on their new stadium, that'll leave the Oakland A's as the main team in baseball that needs to get their stadium situation figured out, with the possibility that the Diamondbacks could also be in line for a new stadium sometime in the near future.

Download The Bronze Bow Study Guide
Elizabeth George Speare's The Bronze Bow takes place in Galilee, Israel, during the time of Jesus. Eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin has endured a life of unbelievable hardships. At the tender age of eight, Daniel witnesses his father's and uncle's crucifixion by Roman soldiers. His mother also dies shortly thereafter. Daniel's younger sister, Leah, is so traumatized by their deaths that she appears to lose her mind. Daniel's grandmother, poor and elderly, is unable to support the children, so she is forced to sell Daniel to the town's blacksmith, Amalek.
Daniel works for Amalek for five years but then escapes. He flees to the hills above Galilee and becomes a member of a rebel group led by the zealot Rosh. Rosh despises the Romans who occupy Israel. It is his mission to drive them all from the land.
Daniel too is consumed by hatred of the Romans. He makes it his mission to kill as many as he can in order to avenge his parents' deaths and to pay them back for the havoc they have wreaked on his country.
The longer he spends with Rosh, the more Daniel's hatred grows. But he begins to hear about a man who has a different message, a message of love and tolerance. However, Daniel faces a long battle before he can give up his vow of hatred. He even puts his friends as well as his sister in danger. It seems that he will destroy them all in his single-minded pursuit for justice, but gradually, the words and actions of Jesus help Daniel understand that only love has the strength to "bend the bow of bronze."
Extended Summary
The Bronze Bow is set in Roman-occupied Israel during the time of Jesus. Eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin is living in the hills above Galilee. He has been there for five years, having escaped a life of slavery.
Daniel, however, also had other reasons for fleeing his home. At the age of eight, he witnesses the execution of his father and uncle by the Roman forces. His uncle's original crime had been failure to pay taxes. Instead of saving money, Daniel's uncle impetuously buys his wife a gold shawl for the naming ceremony of their first child. He intends to do extra work to make up the loss before the due date, but the tax collectors arrive early. He is arrested and destined for a short life of hard labor in the quarries. Daniel's aunt nearly goes insane.
Moved to help them both, Daniel's father and some friends plan to free the uncle as the troops lead their prisoners to the quarries. They attack, but all are captured. The punishment for the rebellion is crucifixion.
Daniel's mother is inconsolable. She stays by the crosses for two days and nights to be near her husband. As a result, she contracts a deadly illness. She too dies a few weeks later.
But the tragedy does not stop there. Daniel's sister, Leah, just five years old at the time, is so traumatized that she appears to lose her mind. Although it may appear obvious to modern readers that her condition is caused by the horror of losing her parents, the explanation for her subsequent odd behavior is that Leah is possessed by demons.
Care of the children falls to their aging grandmother. She tries to support Daniel and Leah, but she is little more than a peasant. Financial hardship forces the grandmother to sell Daniel to the local blacksmith, Amalek, for a period of ten years.
After the third year of his slavery, Daniel has had enough. Hatred for the Romans consumes him. He thinks of nothing but his desire to avenge his parents and to see his country free of Roman rule. He makes a solemn vow to God that he will fight until this is accomplished or until he dies.
In the mountains, Daniel meets a radical rebel leader, Rosh. Rosh too is fueled by hatred of the Romans. He leads a ragtag group that attack and usually kill any Roman who crosses their path. Rosh teaches Daniel that stealing is acceptable, even from fellow Jews, arguing that support for the rebel fighters is necessary and that no true Jew would resent the loss...

No one wants to give away a gift that customers don't like, so sticking to my theme, "Shine the light," I went to get Bruce Beinrick a flashlight.
It was just before Christmas and he said I gave him one two weeks ago and he pulls it out of his pocket. Well, this is a product that works and customers like. We all try to get that. Bruce also said that he'd been going to school functions and the other parents didn't know he was a contractor and this was for years. Bruce should and could carry a pen, and when the parent takes out their iPhone, show the little stylus and how it works on a pen with his logo and his phone number and what he does. And the whole school would know what he does, and he would get a quote, be able to quote, when they need a contractor.
I talk a lot about pens, but as a waitress told me the other day, pens are like gold around here. We just never have enough. Other things that go with stylus pens are lens cloths and power banks that charge your phones on the go. And I'm constantly working on my website BeachTrends.com, about ten years ago.
If you want to search for your business on it, your business category, several items will pop up like a doughnut box with your logo on it for meetings, a fly swatter for Termite Terry Pest Control, a key chain for Val & Mike's Auto Repair among other things, and for Law Offices of Mark D. Holmes, maybe a Parker Pen or a leather business card holder. And amortization schedule for real estate agents and mortgage brokers alike like Gene Teaching and Kathleen Cramer.
And remember to shine the light on quality products like Beach Trends. You'll have quality customers for life. Thank you. Are there any questions? Yes.
Man 1: You mentioned the stylus pens. What are, like I dunno, 300 of those things cost?
Kathy: Three hundred of these, Scott could tell you to the penny. But under $200 and you'll get 300 new customers.
Man 1: Under $200?
Kathy: Yes. That's 300 times you can pass out your name and logo. Any other questions? Val?
Val: How do I know [inaudible 00:03:54] the way I want it?
Kathy: Well, before we go to press or print your gift, we give you a proof and you sign off on it. This is…
Man 2: Amazing. Amazing logo.
Kathy: …Eric's proof, and this is the finished product. As you can tell, they're pretty darn good.
Man 2: Pretty amazing.
Kathy: Any other questions?
Woman 1: [inaudible 00:00:04:19]
Kathy: The sticky notes I can get as low as 30, 40 cents for 500. And you can get them in four colors.
Woman 1: Okay. So it's 500 the least amount you have to get?
Kathy: Yes. And one more thing, when you're doing a trade show, it's really nice to collect everybody's business card and bring a door prize. It's a cheap way to do a trade show and not spend thousands and thousands of dollars. So I brought a door prize today. I brought an iPad notebook holder, a cup, and a little golf item and a stress ball. So thank you very much.

In a few days it will be Ingers birthday. We had a family party here in Äskilt to celebrate. The dogs were of course part of the festivities!
Kafka has moved to Malmö where he is living with Anna, but they both came home to Äskilt over the weekend. It did not take long before Bjorn and Kafka were out playing with each other. They really enjoy each others company.
Kafka and Bjorn are 3,5 months old and very cute! Bjorn means bear in swedish, and it is a suiting name. He looks just like a teddybear 🙂

San Antonio Symphony board holds special meeting as donors question finances
The San Antonio Symphony board called a special meeting Monday to shore up its finances, once again, as some of its largest donors question whether the nonprofit will be able to fulfill a funding agreement struck last year that was supposed to last through the middle of 2018.
"We understand we need to find some sort of financial business model. We'll be working with them (large donors) and determine what that model will be," symphony board Chairman David Kinder said before the meeting, which was closed to the media.
Donors, including the Tobin Endowment, the Kronkosky Charitable Foundation, the Santikos Charitable Foundation, H-E-B, Frost Bank and Valero Energy Corp., have met recently with symphony leaders about the status of last year's $2.5 million funding agreement, Kinder said. Dennis Noll of the Santikos Foundation said he was aware that the donors have met with symphony leaders about the organization's finances, but said he hasn't been a part of the talks.
Kinder said the symphony must break even during the current concert season for the second year of the funding agreement to remain in effect.
The three local charities, H-E-B, Valero Corp., Frost Bank, the city and Bexar County, among others, agreed in April 2016 to give the symphony more than $2.5 million over three years, which included enough money to plug a $600,000 shortfall for the 2015-16 season and much of its $1.2 million in past debt.
The donations came with a long list of conditions to overhaul its finances, including reducing its annual budget from $7.6 million to $7.2 million.
"We're getting close to that point. We'll finish this season. The 2017-18 season will go forward. We are not going bankrupt. … We still have three months of development activity left," Kinder said, describing the summer as the main period for raising funds.
"There's been difficulty making payroll this season, but the symphony has made payroll. The rest of the season is not in jeopardy," said bassoon player Brian Petkovich, secretary/treasurer of the musicians union.
"This meeting was positive. The board is putting together a plan to shore up the finances. We'll see what happens," Petkovich said.
The symphony paid off $600,000 of its debt last summer to break even last season. Another lingering $600,000 in debt must be eliminated by the end of the 2017-18 season under the funding agreement.
H-E-B is donating $175,000 this season and $150,000 for next season.
"We look forward to supporting the symphony board as they explore various opportunities to develop a best-in-class operation," H-E-B spokeswoman Dya Campos said Monday in an email.
Kinder said that while support has been strong among some large corporations and the foundations in the funding agreement, "the issue has been to find more broad-based support among mid-sized corporations. That's a problem that has to be addressed. Everyone's on the same page. We want the symphony to be as strong as it can be," Kinder said.
The talks between the funders and the symphony occur against a backdrop of challenging factors.
The union for the 72 symphony musicians is in negotiations for a new contract replacing one that expires in August. Only one contract negotiation session has been held so far.
Ballet San Antonio has said it won't hire the symphony for its traditional year-end "Nutcracker" production this year, which would eliminate two weeks of work for some of the musicians next season.
The musicians and the staff are taking a three-week furlough without pay during the current season, effectively a 10 percent pay cut for the 2016-17 season, as part of the spending plan that led to the funding agreement last year.
Base pay for orchestra members fell to barely more than $30,000 this season in a 27-week season, one of the lowest base pay levels among other similarly sized orchestras in the country.
The symphony budget was initially set for $7.2 million this season from $7.6 million in the 2015-16 season under the 2016 funding agreement. But the budget was increased last fall after the symphony was able to add an extra movie-soundtrack concert at the Majestic Theatre, and an extra opera was scheduled at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. Kinder said he didn't know what the final budget will be for this season.
The symphony has long talked of starting an endowment campaign to stabilize the symphony's finances but has not done so yet. The symphony's endowment is less than $2 million when the rule of thumb for nonprofit arts organizations is about three times the size of the yearly budget, or about $22 million.
Symphony leaders have said they must wait until they pay back the organization's debt before launching an endowment campaign.

Hair loss is a very sensitive subject for most people who suffer from it. Losing your hair can be extremely devastating; it can affect a person's self-image, confidence, and even their emotional well-being.
While much emphasis has been placed upon male patterned baldness, women comprise forty (40) percent of Americans who suffer from the loss of their hair.
Psychologically, it can take a toll on sufferers because all that they see is hair fall but cannot pinpoint exactly why they are losing hair, they do not know if it is temporary or a permanent malady.
In order to get an accurate diagnosis, women suffering from losing their hair should visit a dermatologist but in order to get a clearer snapshot, listed are some common types of loss of hair.
What Does Alopecia Mean?
Alopecia is a common enough term used frequently in the context of the loss of one's hair but what does it mean exactly? Actually, it means just that, it is the medical term for loss of hair, either from a person's head or their body. However, there are more than a dozen types of alopecia in existence.
Two broad categories of alopecia are recognized: non-scarring (or non-cicatricial) alopecia and scarring (or cicatricial) alopecia.
The main difference between the two categories is that scarring alopecia causes severe damage to hair follicles so that scar tissue develops which can cause the hair loss to be permanent.
Alopecia typically includes patterned baldness, generally referred to as androgenetic alopecia. This is what is meant when you lose your hair due to genetics.
It is the most common type of loss of hair in humans and in men it is commonly referred to as male pattern baldness. This is where you notice significant balding either on the crown of the head or the temples.
Women can experience androgenetic alopecia as well, but rather than balding like men, their hair generally gets progressively thinner in the middle third of the scalp.
If a woman is experiencing patchy baldness with areas of dry, brittle hair in certain areas it is probably brought on by styling techniques or chemical damage. These styling methods include but are not limited to:
* ponytails
* tight braids that are essentially pulling the hair out from the root; damaging the follicles
* hair relaxers or other chemical processes
* excessively hot hair tools used frequently
It is important to note here that if a woman does not treat her hair and scalp once she notices the onset of thinning then the problem could be exacerbated and progress to the point that scarring alopecia can occur, which refers to hair loss with damage to the hair follicles that wipes them out and leaves scar tissue behind..
Infectious problems due to fungal infection that develop on the scalp can cause individuals to lose patches of hair because the fungus gets into the hair shaft causing it to become brittle and break off.
While more common in children, adults can also develop fungal infections of the scalp and have to be checked for this condition when appropriate.
Bacterial folliculitis is an infection and is of hair follicles associated with painful pustules and sometimes bleeding that can eventually causes a loss of hair.
Early treatment with antibiotics can stop the condition. If it is not treated early, severe cases can lead to permanent baldness.
These are only a few of the many types of hair loss possible including hair loss due to lupus, alopecia areata, thyroid disease, anemia, and other medical diseases of the scalp such as lichen planopilaris.

Yesterday I wrote about an effort by House Democrats to overturn "stand your ground" laws that allow people to defend themselves. Today, the Democrats have decided not to pursue this vile end, for now anyway
(Washington Times) — Democrats backed off of their effort Tuesday to offer a "Trayvon amendment" to pressure states to drop their stand-your-ground laws after learning it was likely to be ruled out of order under the evening's rules for debate on the House floor.
Rep. Keith Ellison, Minnesota Democrat, said he will still try to force a debate at a more "appropriate" time in the future, saying action is demanded by the case of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who police said was shot dead in a street encounter with a neighborhood watch volunteer.
The Ellison amendment would have docked federal criminal justice grants to states that have stand-your-ground laws, which allow residents to use deadly force to respond to an attack without first having to retreat.
As I said, they will keep trying, they despise Individualism, and self-defense is a hallmark of individual liberty.

Plato and the German Romantic Thinkers: Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher, by Marie-Dominique Richard
The aim of this article is to demonstrate how the Romantic thinkers F. Schlegel and F. Schleiermacher, in their interpretation of Plato, were tributaries of their philosophical a priori — premises that led them to elaborate their theory of the dialogic form, a theory that involves engaging the very definition of philosophy, and which prevails even today in Platonic studies. But even though Schlegel and Schleiermacher, the first with his theory of dialogic form and the second with his proleptic reading of the dialogues, marked the path to a wholly new method of interpreting Platonism, the exegetes of the twentieth century — including Léon Robin, the School of Tübingen, Hans Krämer, Konrad Gaiser and Thomas Szlezák — deemed it necessary nonetheless to go beyond the reading of Plato as practiced by the two Romantic thinkers. For only an interpretation that takes account simultaneously of the more fundamental discourse located in the background of the dialogues and of the testimonies deriving from the indirect tradition can really claim to apprehend the arcane elements of the philosophy of Plato. What emerges from this critical engagement with Plato over the years is a distinctive hermeneutic method that requires us to read beneath the surface of Plato's texts, with the assistance of the testimonies from the indirect tradition, a strand of critical reception that has yet to be fully acknowledged by or incorporated into Platonic studies.
Article available through Philosophy Documentation Center, here.
Marie-Dominique Richard is Senior Researcher at the Center for the Study of Religions of the Book (CERL) at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paris. Her book, Enseignement oral de Platon: Une nouvelle interprétation du platonisme (Cerf, 1986), with a preface by Pierre Hadot, is forthcoming in English translation. In French, she has published extensively on the topics of the Romantic reception of Plato, orality in Plato, and Edith Stein.

GE Renewable Energy scored the biggest deal yet for its Cypress onshore wind platform when it was confirmed as supplier to the 244MW Bango project in Australia.
Bango will use 46 5.3MW Cypress machines when it enters service in New South Wales in 2021 said Partners Group, the global investment group which is co-developing the A$500m ($337m) project with CWP Renewables.
The supply deal is the first for Cypress machines in Australia and the largest globally, said GE Renewable Energy, which launched the platform in 2018 to take its onshore wind business into the 4-5MW arena.
Bango is the third project under the Grassroots Renewable Energy platform formed last year by Partners Group and CWP. The wind farm has a 15-year offtake deal in place for 100MW of its output with power group Snowy Hydro.
Benjamin Haan, chair of Grassroots, said: "Despite ongoing market challenges related to grid congestion and uncertainty in future green energy policy, there remains a compelling market opportunity for experienced developers and investors in renewable energy in Australia, particularly in New South Wales.
"With a potential project pipeline of 1.3GW of wind and solar generation capacity, we are pleased to continue to work with the CWP team to develop Grassroots into a renewables platform of significant scale."

Camping with granchildren
Camping for grandchildren and grandparents. Both grandkids and their grandparents have more fun if ground rules are decided by parents and discussed in advance.
Ground Rules Make the Best Camping Trips.
Grandma T
Both grandkids and their grandparents have more fun when camping if ground rules are decided by parents and discussed in advance.
Camping is a wonderful vacation to be shared by grandchildren and grandparents.
In today's busy world, many parents do not have the time or the inclination to take kids camping. Yet that outdoors' experience can be invaluable to children in teaching them about nature and even life itself.
Besides, it is fun for all involved.
Or it can be fun. It is more fun if children understand that they:
1. Have to help with chores, including camp set-up and take-apart duties.
2. Grandchildren have clear limits for activities, appropriate to age and approved by their parents.
For example, lots of camping spots include a body of water. Who can go to the water, who can't, and under what conditions.? Is swimming OK? Under what conditions?
Other campgrounds may offer an opportunity to get lost in the woods, ride horses, rent canoes, etc. All of this is wonderful if it is age appropriate and approved by the parents.
None of us want to spend the entire camping trip saying, "No." Therefore, try to anticipate what problems about activities might arise, ask about specific activities, then let the parents be the "bad guys" and say no in advance.
If parents can have a talk with the children before you leave, then give you specific instructions, everything will go smoothly and be more fun for all.

ThinkFun Oodles of Doodles Board Game Review Game | Buy Game
Here are some specifics we ask parents to cover in advance:
1. Can all the children go around the water? If not, who can and who can't?
2. Can all the children go exploring in the woods alone? If not, who can and who can't?
Also, make a list of gear each child should bring. Specifically we ask:
1. Each grandchild to bring his/her own mug for hot drinks and that each mug be different from all others. Each child uses this mug for all drinks, washing it out as he/she sees fit. This saves us from supplying a bunch of paper cups. The individualized mugs save arguments about who is using what.
2. Each grandchild bring a flashlight with an extra set of batteries. They are warned to use their flashlights judiciously and if they ignore the warning, they usually have no light before the end of the trip.
One last suggestion:
If you have not camped with the grandkids before, take them close to their home. If it rains buckets, snows, homesickness strikes, or discipline becomes a problem, it is easy enough to head for their house.

The Fight To Eliminate Instagram Bots
Instagram bots: services that have been around for years to increase likes and comments on content. With the swipe of a credit card, users can add thousands of followers to their account in an instant. A photo that was receiving minimal interactions can receive thousands of likes and comments overnight. Certainly, this isn't a new concept as we've touched upon the use of Instagram bots last year. More influencers and brands have been turning to these services, and Instagram has taken notice. They're now working to end this situation.
Instagram has been combating fake accounts since the early days. Their Community Guidelines and Terms of Use outline that the use of third-party apps to generate inauthentic likes, comments, and followers is not permitted in order to keep Instagram spam-free. Instagram wants to ensure that accounts are as secure as possible. Users have been sharing their usernames and passwords with these services to give them access to their profile to increase their popularity. But in November, the app announced that they are taking more steps forward in reducing this activity. What exactly does this mean? Instagram's technology has been advanced to detect fake accounts more efficiently, along with accounts that have been using these apps. They also stated on their blog that they will be launching more updates in the coming weeks to tackle the growing problem.
Why do influencers and brands turn to Instagram bots in the first place? One reason is that with a larger following and engagement rate, influencers can charge more to brands when promoting their products. It also creates a more "legit" look to one's profile; real users are more likely to follow a brand with a larger following because of this. The steady increase of influencers active on Instagram has created more competition to work with brands and draw authentic attention to their content. Instagram bots quickly and easily became the solution to create the illusion of a high-profile account.
If you have been relying on third-party apps and services to drive your engagement, do not be surprised when the next time you log into Instagram to receive an in-app message saying that fake likes, comments, and followers are being removed from your account. While your past activity will not be affected, Instagram will ask you to change your password to prevent these apps from accessing your account. If this is not followed through, the app says that you may see your "Instagram experience impacted." Be sure to take the necessary steps now to ensure your account is following all community guidelines that Instagram has provided!

Who we are
Dose of Society is a socially powered video platform for fresh, unheard voices with a mission to share amazing stories from 'real' people with real stories'; talk about challenging subjects and take conversations out of the usual silos.

We focus on human centric content and the conversation is always lead by people. Change starts with real people, hence Dose of Society is powered by our community.
Why did DOS start? We are the most socially connected generation ever, yet so many people with amazing stories are unheard; we are still segregated; overly sensitized to opposing views and struggle to have honest conversations outside of our own bubbles.
We aim to create:
- Conversations, dialogue and understanding, allowing people to become comfortable with the uncomfortable.
- The next generation of changemakers, enabling future leaders to be heard whilst creating a community that together, breaks down social barriers and shares fresh new voices.
With our community, we are changing what and how stories are told.

Mass market and consumer technologies and strategies for retailersHarvey Norman places massive Win 98 order with Tech Pacby Gerard NorsaSYDNEY - Harvey Norman has placed a $5.5 million, 35,000 copy advance distribution order for Windows 98 with Tech Pacific in preparation for the wave of customer interest following its release this week.
The order coincides with saturation media coverage conducted by Harvey Norman this month to publicise its "Deal of the Decade" promotion that will see Windows 98 sold throughout the retailer's 21 Sydney and Melbourne stores from midnight Wednesday June 24 until late the next day.
Windows 98, scheduled to be launched worldwide on June 25, after controversial delays caused by a US government investigation into Microsoft, is perhaps the most widely publicised and debated software product ever.
According to Harvey Norman group computer controller Tony Gattari: "While this midnight launch may not be quite as hysterical as the Windows 95 launch, it will still be the biggest event in computer retailing for several years."
He said the arrival of this upgrade from Microsoft will have a positive effect on the whole industry for months to come. "Back in 1995, there were just 1.3 million computers around and only 22 per cent of them were capable of having Windows 95 installed," said Gattari.
"Today, there are more than 2.4 million PCs out there with 53 per cent of them being capable of installing Windows 98. While the technology leap from Windows 95 to Windows 98 may not be as dramatic, we have a far bigger market to sell to."
As an added incentive to the average punter, participating Harvey Norman stores are offering giveaways and a "bonus pack" of software products totalling $724 in value to the first 5000 customers to purchase Windows 98 at the RRP of $159.
There is also an exclusive "Club 98" that entitles members to buy selected printers, modems, scanners, memory and PC software at $98.
Meanwhile, ARN can report that Harvey Norman Computerstores is reviewing its mobile phone business with a view to upgrading and revitalising the department. Given that mobile communications are changing so rapidly, Gattari said Harvey Norman needed a review if it wanted to be a much bigger player in the game.
"We have invited all suppliers to present their company, its services and products to us as well as a business proposal that will contribute to our goal of reaching 50,000 connections during the 12 months from July 1, 1998," he said.
Retailers to offer MS Value Pack
SYDNEY - Microsoft has introduced a package deal that offers many of its popular software packages as well as comprehensive antivirus protection from Norton in a single upgrade bundle for Windows 95 and NT users. Pricing and content ensure this will be a relatively attractive deal to small business and family users. The Value Pack carries an RRP of $649 and includes: Office 97 Professional Edition Upgrade, Microsoft Publisher 98, Microsoft Encarta 98 World Atlas, Microsoft Greetings Workshop Deluxe v 2.0, Microsoft Money 98, Microsoft Intellimouse, Microsoft Interactive CD Sampler and Symantec's Norton Antivirus 4.0 Gold Edition. by Gerard NorsaMicrosoftTel 13 2058ÊFax (02) 9870 2466Digital cameras emerge as a serious toolby Gerard NorsaSYDNEY - You may have to compete against camera stores as well as your fellow computer retailers with this product, but the rise of digital cameras as a modern tool for home, business and professional photographic users is worthy of close attention.
Kodak Australia has introduced two new models to its range including a claimed first for 1.6 million pixels of resolution at less than $2500 and dramatically improved picture transfer speeds.
According to Patrick Turner, Kodak's Asia-Pacifc marketing manager, digital and applied imaging: "Photographers can now control the images much better, opening up all sorts of just-in-time and catalogue-type applications which take digital cameras to a new level."
Bearing the moniker Digital Science DC220 and DC260, the new cameras employ a Motorola PowerPC 800 series processor for faster image processing and use Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces for faster image downloading.
In addition to the standard digital zoom capability, the DC220 and DC260 also boast either 2x or 3x optical zoom characteristics similar to those on traditional cameras. There is also a burst feature for sequential pictures, a time lapse mode, audio record and playback to accompany photos, scripting capabilities, orientation sensors, custom software for storing, sharing digital images and an 8MB picture card which works like a reusable digital roll of film.
The DC220 and the DC260 will be available to computer resellers and retailers in July with estimated street prices of $1999 and $2449 respectively.

What's in a name for Toys-R-Us?
by Gerard Norsa
SYDNEY - Toys-R-Us, the huge toy retailer, is asking its target audience to come up with a catchy name for new electronics departments soon to be integrated into stores across the nation.
The departments will be dedicated to stocking a wide range of the latest game units, accessories and software products that are extremely popular with today's computer- literate youth market.
A spokesperson for Toys-R-Us told ARN a lot of people have the impression that the stores are only for toddlers' toys and that the electronics concept will get a new, slightly older clientele coming through the door.
Having been successfully trialled in the US as well as in three Australian test stores, the departments' name will be decided through a four week competition over a national youth radio network, which is inviting listeners to come up with suggestions.

When in San Diego a few weeks back I took a stroll in the early AM down to the USS Midway. Took a few HDR shots and kept walking. On the other side was this wonderful statue…called "Unconditional Surrender". The sun was rising and the clouds were just right to shoot this in HDR! This photo goes out to all the sailors in the world! We all thank you for your support!
I had no idea such a statue existed. I looked it up online: The 25ft tall statue is of the famous photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt during the VJ Day celebrations in Times Square in 1945. Located next to the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego the statue is quite popular with couples striking the same pose and having their picture taken next to the huge fiqures. The official name of the 6,000-pound sculpture is "Unconditional Surrender" however most people just call it the kiss statue. The work of art was dedicated on February 11, 2007 and has been turning heads ever since.
