- Understanding Weight

- Gymnastics Ontario Memberships
- Gymnastics Ontario Membership Troubleshooting
- Camps and Competition Setups
Uplifter's participant database is directly connected with Gymnastics Ontario gymnast database. With this connection we can offer our Gymnastics Ontario affiliated clubs the ability to quickly and easily submit gymnasts to Gymnastics Ontario for membership submissions.
Please note, these tool are under development. Please refer back to this article or reach out to email@example.com for information about new features as they become available.
Getting Your Club Ready
In order to connected with the Gymnastics Ontario database you will want to ensure you have the core elements on your site setup.
Verify Your Club Is Connected
To begin, you will want to verify that your club is connected to the Gymnastics Ontario League Connector. This can be done by selecting to create/edit a subscriptions in your system. When doing so, you should see a Gymnastics Ontario Lookup Options section.
If you do not see this, please contact us here at email@example.com.
Understanding Weight
Within Uplifter "weight" is the scale used to determine a membership's importance. The higher the weight the more important the membership is. Weight is applied by selecting options from the Discipline, Level, and Role drop downs. You can make these selections when creating a subscription
Weight-Based Price Reductions
When participant purchases lead them to receiving more than one membership type it is possible that the system will handle the cost adjustments on your behalf. For instance, if both memberships are purchased at the same time, the membership with a lower weight will be reduced to $0. Similarly, if a membership of higher weight is purchased first, then later a membership with a lower weight is purchased on a different invoice, the lower weight membership will be reduced to $0.
Gymnastics Ontario Fees
With each new Gymnastics Ontario season (July 1st - June 30th) you will want to ensure your club has a new Gymnastics Ontario fee ready and available to attach to invoices. The number of Gymnastics Ontario fees you create may vary based on the type of memberships you offer. However, most clubs will only create one or two fees per year. More information on best practices when creating multiple fees can be found in the Multiple Fees Per Year section, below.
Create Your GO Fee
- Navigate to Products & Programs > Products & Subscriptions
- Select Add new from the toolbar
- Enter your product settings
- Select to make your product a subscription
- Select a Gymnastics Ontario season for duration and the desired season
- Use the Discipline, Level, and Role drop downs to assign your membership type
- Select Save
- Each Gymnastics Ontario subscription/membership fee should be set to Mandatory.
- Each Gymnastics Ontario subscription/membership fee should use the Gymnastics Ontario Season option from the Duration of Subscription drop down.
- Each Gymnastics Ontario subscription/membership fee should be set to Apply To "Participant", under Product Information.
- Each Gymnastics Ontario subscription/membership fee should have no filters applied in the Tag Filters section unless otherwise required (see: Multiple Fees Per Year)
Each membership you create within a single GO season should have a unique selection from the Discipline, Level, and Role drop downs. This selection dictates what type of membership you are offering and, eventually, submitting to GO.
For instance, you may offer a Provincial Athlete membership. In that instance, you would need to select Level: Provincial and Role: Athlete. Note that Discipline was not selected in this example. This is because this example membership applies to all of my recreational participants. However, if I had different costs for my WAG vs Tumbling, for instance, I could then use the Discipline drop down to differentiate.
You only need to get as specific as your memberships dictate.
Help! The New Season Isn't Listed!
We pull our season list directly from Gymnastics Ontario's database. Because of this, there may be instances where you wish to create your upcoming season's Gymnastics Ontario fee but the season does not populate in the list of options. In this instance you will want to use the Effective Start and End date options, running from July 1st to June 31st (of the applicable years). Then, be sure to check back as the season approaches. Once the season populates you can clear the Effective Start and End date options and select the Gymnastics Ontario Season drop down option. This will affect your subscription purchases retroactively.
GO Fees & Discounts
By default products, tickets, and subscriptions are not aligned/associated with any of your club's seasons. As such, clubs that plan to offer seasonal discounts involving their GO Fee(s) should be mindful of the "This product may have season discounts or will be used to buyout volunteer credits." option on products, tickets, and subscriptions. Found at the top of the Product Information section you can toggle this setting and select which season the GO Fee should be affiliated with. This is an important step for seasonal discounts.
Note that you should not update/change the selected year after sales of your fee have begun. For best results you will want to set your assigned season to any of your first seasons of the year. For clubs who offer camps, you should assign your GO fees to align with the camp season you create.
It is okay that your GO fee(s) should apply for other seasons, the "This product may have season discounts or will be used to buyout volunteer credits." setting does not affect how it will apply to invoices - only how it will be considered for discounting purposes.
Multiple Fees per Year
Some clubs, depending on the membership types they offer, will need multiple Gymnastics Ontario fees per year. This is most often done when clubs offer an array of membership types like Recreational, Competitive, etc.
This can also be a solution for clubs who have differing costs for varying circumstances. For instance, if your Competitive program costs include the GO fee already whereas your Recreational program costs do not. In these instances, there are two main factors you will need to ensure:
- There are no circumstances where a participant can register and not receive a Gymnastics Ontario fee (if they should receive one).
- There are no circumstances where a participant can qualify for two Gymnastics Ontario fees at the same time.
When creating two separate fees you will want to use the Link To tool under Registration Checkout Filters section to apply filters to the subscription. Using these filters you can split your fees by, say, Category:
In this way, you can then set one Gymnastics Ontario fee to be $0 and another to be $35, for instance. Please note, though, that the system will automatically account for other memberships. It will do so by considering the Weight of the membership. Please see below for further information.
Gymnastics Ontario Memberships
Now that you have at least one Gymnastics Ontario membership ready and available for purchase it will begin to apply to participant's invoices. Once a participant purchases a Gymnastics Ontario fee from your club they can be submitted to Gymnastics Ontario.
Submitting Your Memberships to Gymnastics Ontario
- Navigate to GO's How To Register Individual Participants section and review the process as well as the SKUs of the memberships you offer.
- Log into your Uplifter site and navigate to People & Accounts > Gymnastics Ontario Submissions
- Filter the list of submissions as desired so as to focus on only those athletes you wish to submit presently.
- Review the memberships you have set to be submitted ensuring the membership types (Discipline, Level, and Role) are correct.
- Click Export Submissions to download the submission results.
- Navigate to GO's How To Register Individual Participants section to begin submitting your spreadsheet to Gymnastics Ontario.
Submitting your memberships to Gymnastics Ontario will involve filtering and carefully reviewing your membership submissions. Once content, a report can be downloaded for uploading purposes to Gymnastics Ontario. Many of the required steps are diligently outlined by Gymnastics Ontario on their How To Register Individual Participants page.
Gymnastics Ontario Membership Troubleshooting
Uplifter will do its best to synchronize the memberships listed on your site as compared to that of Gymnastics Ontario. However, there are instances circumstances where we may not be able to do so. If you have memberships listed on your site that should have been resolved after a submission to Gymnastics Ontario please be sure to check the following.
Participant Details Differ
Uplifter matches your athletes by First Name, Last Name, Gender, Birthdate, and Postal Code. If too many of these items vary from Gymnastics Ontario's participant instance then a match cannot be made. To verify, open your participant's profile via People & Accounts > Participants > select participant. You can then log into Gymnastics Ontario's registration site and navigate to My Account > Participants. Here, filter to find the same participant and compare the above-mentioned fields.
To resolve this issue please verify the correct data with the member/participant. Once obtained/verified, you can either update your Uplifter participant listing information or contact Gymnastics Ontario to have them update the information accordingly. Thereafter you will be able to match your athlete.
Membership Details Differ
The membership details that you have within your Uplifter system may not be the same as those within the Gymnastics Ontario system. For example, if you sell a membership that is set to submit athletes with a "General Recreational Athlete" membership, but you update a participant's membership to "WAG Invitational Athlete" (between pulling the report from your Uplifter system and submitting it to Gymnastics Ontario). In this case the system will not see these as the same membership and will still prompt you to submit your "General Recreational Athlete" membership for this athlete.
To resolve this issue please update the membership listing on your site to align with the membership submitted to Gymnastics Ontario. If both memberships are applicable you will want to create a new invoice for the participant to sell them the secondary membership and submit that to Gymnastics Ontario as well.
Multiple Club Under One Roof
Organizations that run multiple clubs under one roof/banner may run into some confusion when submitting athletes. This is mainly encountered when collecting costs/selling memberships through one club, then submitting them to Gymnastics Ontario through another club. In cases like this your Memberships page will show errors indicating that another club has submitted these athletes.
Tools to resolve this issue are on their way!
Camps and Competition Setups
Special builds like camps and competitions can be created within the Uplifter system in a multitude of ways. Our article Special Builds runs through the setup of these types of requirements. Of course, they are only suggestions and you may wish to pursue other options. You are always welcome to reach out to email@example.com for assistance in reviewing alternative setups.

Light Brass Bullet Burners
At The Magic Of Fire, we take great pride in bringing you only the best products on the market. In our professional opinion, there is no better fire pit burner on the market today than the Light Brass Bullet Burner from The Outdoor Plus Co. But please don't just take our word for it, listen to what two of our customers had to say and the images they sent in of their projects.
Bruce F. used two 12" Triple S Burners to put alongside his pool and told us "On 'full throttle' the flame was about 3' high".
Brian used an 18" 'S' Type Bullet Burner and told us, "I was really skeptical when you told me that I needed a bullet burner, but I am so happy with it now, it looks awesome but I am scared to turn the gas full on!"
When you absolutely have to have the biggest flame then you need a Light Brass Bullet Burner
What Are Light Brass Bullet Burners?
Bullet Burners are manufactured by The Outdoor Plus Co. ( TOP ) based in Ontario, California. These Fire Pit Burners are manufactured from Brass and incorporate TOP's patented Flat Flame technology.
50% More Flame 30% Less Gas
The output from these burners is a 50% fuller flame while consuming 30% less gas than a traditional burner. The Bullet Burner produces the highest quality and most aesthetically pleasing flame, a taller fuller flame than the average burner. It also removes the need for an additional Air Mixer Valve when connected to a propane system.
For commercial operations that may be running a fire pit for many hours per day, several days per week, such as hotels, restaurants etc, it makes great sense to consider a Bullet Burner for your Fire Pit just for the gas-saving factor alone.
For every 30 days you run your fire pit in your restaurant, bar etc, for the same amount of gas usage you would only get 21 days with a standard burner!
The Hexagonal Uniform Hub evenly distributes the gas through all ports of the burner, and the precisely placed bullet orifice gives you the most efficient and effective flame. The Bullet Orifice unique design compresses gas flow to obtain a powerful flame, whilst consuming considerably less gas than a standard burner.
Why Brass?
Most conventional fire pit burners are manufactured from 304 Grade Stainless Steel and are usually covered by a five-year warranty. However, contrary to popular belief, Stainless Steel will ultimately rust especially in the harsh environment of a fire pit and will ultimately have to be replaced.
Brass, on the other hand, will not rust and the Light Brass Bullet Burner is manufactured from high-grade brass and is supplied with a Limited Lifetime Warranty! So it is no exaggeration to say this is a very long lasting burner indeed.
Where can I use a Bullet Burner?
A Bullet Burner can easily replace any standard burner for a pre-existing fire pit and is suitable for either natural gas or liquid propane.
They are manufactured in the tradition 'H' Burner and Linear Burner configuration and in the unique 'S' burner style for a circular flame footprint
Custom Designs
If you planning a unique design of fire pit shape TOP can custom manufacture bullet burners for your project Just call our Help and Advice Toll-Free Number 844 631 7638 to get the project underway.
So What Are The Pro's and Con's
A Bullet Burner...
Produces 50% more flame than a conventional burner
Uses 30% less gas than a conventional burner
Will not rust
Has a Lifetime Warranty
Over time it will pay for itself time and again
Made in the USA
Initial outlay is considerably more than a conventional burner.
Brass is not a cheap metal and these burners are not mass produced in a factory in China, so inevitably the initial outlay will be greater when compared to a mass-produced burner. These burners are handmade, assembled, and each one individually tested in California. It will literally last your lifetime and probably that of your heirs as well!
However, despite producing a 50% bigger flame the fact that it is consuming less gas, 30% less gas is huge.

Xiaomi Launches Mi A2 Globally with Android One OS
Ever since the Mi 6X was launched in China, the anticipation was for the launch of the Android One version of it. Putting all those wait to end, Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Android One version of the Mi 6X, the Mi A2.
There is nothing much to differentiate in between the Mi A2 and Mi 6X device, except for that the former runs Android One OS, which guarantees a smoother experience and updates until Android Q next year to the least.
The Mi A2 sports a 6-inch FullHD+ LCD display on the front, and beneath the display is a Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. On the storage front, the Mi A2 will be making its outing in 32GB and 64GB version for the 4GB models, and 128GB for the 6GB model.
Xiaomi also looks set to retain camera as the highlight of the device like it was with the Mi A1, the successor device that first packed the Android One OS. The Mi A2 will have a 12MP and 20MP camera setup on the rear-side that will be aided by AI for portrait shots. It also guarantees better capturing capability in low-lights thanks to its super-pixel technology used for the second lens. On the front side, the Mi A2 will pack a 20MP camera that will be paired with a front-facing flash. Other specifications include 3000 mAh battery, USB-C jack, 2.5D Gorilla Glass protection etc.
Along with the Mi A2, Xiaomi has also launched the Lite version of the device that comes with moderately scaled down specifications. The device comes with Snapdragon 625 SoC and will come out in two variants: 3GB +32GB and 4GB + 64GB. The device features a 5.84-inch 19:9 display that comes with a notch, and also has a better battery of 4000 mAh. The camera is scaled down to a dual-cam combo of 12MP/5MP for the rear side and 5MP camera for the front side.
Pricing for the Mi A2 starts at €249 for the 4GB/32GB version, and goes up to €349 for the 6GB/128GB version. The one with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM is priced at €279. As with the Lite version, the 3GB/32GB version is priced at €179, while the 4GB/64GB version comes priced at €229. The Mi A2 will be released first in Spain, but will soon arrive in around 40 markets including the ones where its successor was released.

What do you get when you add a diet of pastry and iced coffee to an aging body? Fat. You get fat.
That's where I feel I'm headed at the moment. I'm not actually fat but I'm certainly not as skinny or as fit as I could be. So, I jumped onto the App Store and downloaded a workout app. I don't want to be an iron man (or at least not the sort that doesn't come with a weaponised suit of armour and a drinking problem) so I was looking for something low key when I noticed a pattern.
7. Seven. VII.
There are heaps of fitness apps that offer 7 minute workouts, obviously targeting people who think of themselves as too busy to go to a gym or to slack to do anything longer than that – perfect for me.
Now, imagine a motorised contraption that you stand up on as you ride into the next topic.
I'm a writer but I procrastinate more than I write so I'm not really a writer after all. But… if I wrote for 7 mins each day then I could still call myself a writer, right? So, I'm developing a list of activities that should only take around 7 minutes each. I'm doing this so I can work out the kinks in my current slump, so I can get back into some form of mental/creative fitness. I'm sharing it so you can try it to.
1. Draw up a table that has four columns and eleven rows (including one for headings). Your headings are In This Book, These Characters, Do Stuff, And It Ends Like This. You might end up shortening these in later attempts. Likewise, these headings should only act as guides – play around with how you address them.
Now pick 10 of your favourite books or 10 random books from your shelf and fill out the rest of the boxes. You'll end up with stuff like:
*Spoilers ahead
The Fault in our Stars, 2 teens with cancer, fall in love, but one of them dies.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 3 young wizards, go to school, and come face to face with true evil.
The Princess Bride, a farm boy, teams up with a gifted swordsman and a giant, to save a princess from a tyrannical prince.
The New Testament, the son of God, tries to help out a lot of people, but is betrayed by one of his friends.
Where The Wild Things Are, a naughty boy, rules over monsters in a fantasy land, until he gets homesick.
The Shining, a telepathic child, is trapped in a haunted hotel, and survives an encounter with his insane father.
Lord of the Flies, a group of children, turn psychotic on a deserted island, but are rescued at the last minute.
Ricky Rouse has a Gun, an unemployed father, gets a job as a mascot at a theme park, and saves everyone from terrorists.
Brave New World, an outsider, enters a world built on sex and drugs, and it drives him to suicide.
The Last Continent, an incompetent wizard, has a series of misadventures in a parody of the Australian outback, before saving the day by making it rain.
Here comes the fun part. Grab a pair of scissors and cut off the left column. You can throw that in the trash, you won't be needing it anymore. Now cut out each individual box but keep them grouped in with the other boxes from their column. Once you've done that, grab a random slip of paper from each pile. Congratulations, you have a story! Sort of. What you really have is a story idea. Write it down for later use.
FYI – I'll know you got the idea from me if you write a story about the son of God teaming up with a swordsman and a giant to save people from terrorists. Or an incompetent wizard who survives an encounter with his insane father after entering a world built on sex and drugs.
2. Question time. Most stories are built on 'what ifs'. What if people were turned into zombies by a signal sent through their mobile phone? (Cell, Stephen King) What if teenagers had to compete in a televised battle to the death? (The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins) What if the prostitutes Jack the Ripper killed were actually vampires? (Anno Dracula, Kim Newman)
But, 'what if' is not the only question you need to ask. Rather, it is only the first.
Now, how you approach this task is up to you. You can set it up as a table or a flow chart or a mind map – however you like.
To come up with your 'what if' you might take a story premise from the activity above, open a newspaper to any random page and question or modify its contents, swap the gender of an existing character or person from history, or come up with your own sliding doors moment by imagining what would have happened if you made a different choice at some point in your life.
Your 7 minutes should now be spent ASKING the questions that stem from your 'what if'. These new questions will come not just from the initial premise but from the things you ask yourself beyond that point.
What if the son of God teamed up with a swordsman and a giant to defeat some terrorists?
Why does the son of God need help? What happened to his 'powers'?
Who are the terrorists? What is their motivation?
Don't terrorists have guns and bombs? What use is a swordsman going to be?
And so on…
To paraphrase Chuck Wendig, you now have your story map. The plot is the journey you plan through this terrain.
3. Picture this. No, seriously, picture this. Go online and Google image search for a man/woman template – your choice should be guided by the sex of your potential protagonist. I like to use Lego bodies because then I'm not distracted by the body shape nor am I wasting a lot of time Googling trying to find the perfect body for my character.
Print it off and grab some colours pencils or textas. Don't worry, no one's judging. You're a writer not a drawer. Add clothes and props to your person. Do this at your leisure, it doesn't count towards your 7 minutes of writing.
What does count towards your writing is what you do after this. That is, you now need to annotate it. Why is your character dressed that way? What is the significance of the props you've given them? These questions will help you get your head around your character. If you find that there's no particular reason for them having a certain prop or wearing a specific colour or style of shirt then perhaps you don't know your character after all.
Anyway, that'll do. Grab a towel and wipe of your literary sweat. Sit back and have a cool drink. Or, if those exercises have got your creative blood pumping, use that energy and write away.

Listen to this article
Commodity trader Trafigura has bought a 15.5 per cent stake in Finnish state-owned nickel and zinc miner Terrafame, as part of a €250m recapitalisation of the company.
Trafigura's Galena fund has made a €75m equity investment in Terrafame and also agreed to a €75m five year loan to the company, it said in a statement. The company's state-owned parent has made a €25m investment on the same terms as and offered a €50m stand-by loan.
Terrafame acquired its mining operations from former London-listed miner Tavlivaara in 2015 following its bankruptcy. It has since been ramping up its mining operations in Sotkamo, in the north of the country. Tavlivaara previously had an agreement to supply zinc to Belgium's Nyrstar, which is part-owned by Trafigura.
"The Trafigura Group's investment through Galena will provide the working capital needed to enable the Terrafame mine to reach its potential to become a world-class mine," Jeremy Weir, chief executive of Trafigura, said.
As part of the agreement, Trafigura will get access to a large quantity of zinc and nickel from the mine for its trading division. That comes as prices for zinc and nickel have rebounded over the past 12 months following a drop to multi-year lows. They will get 100 per cent of the mine's nickel-cobalt and 80 per cent of its zinc over the next seven years.
Demand for nickel, which is used in stainless steel, "looks robust," Weir added, while the market for refined zinc is starting to tighten, which should support prices this year.
As part of the deal, Finnish financial company Sampo has also agreed to a €25m loan to Terrafame.

Beds that come in a dark color with a basic headboard, and dressers and bedside tables with basic knobs on the drawers create this appearance. Or there are lots of that prefer a classic appearance, where case sophisticated bedroom sets are available. Bedroom furniture is available in a variety of different styles and finishes, so it is simple to find a set that matches the design of your bedroom.
When selecting bed linen, there are some attributes to think about. Bed linen acquisitions can be pricey, particularly if you are buying two or more sets for each bed. Prior to buying, it pays to first evaluate your requirements and preferences. Measurement, thread count, fabric content, manufacturing method, and weave are factors to be thought about when purchasing bed sheets. High quality and costly sheets aren't necessarily your best choice. This post will give you with the details you have to determine your bedding requirements and compare them to the bed sheets offered for purchase.

Fabric & Braid Information & Sampling Service
Tips on Buying Upholstery FabricThe Following information is from FIRA - The World's Leading Independent Furniture Technology Centre
The Martindale Rub Test
The Martindale Rub Test measures upholstery fabrics to see how durable they are. Each fabric is continuously rubbed by a machine until a thread breaks or a visible change appears therefore the higher the number the more durable the fabric. This number can then be put into one of the following groups:
Light Domestic Use
General Domestic Use
Severe Domestic Use
Fire Retardancy
In the UK all fabric must meet UK domestic or contract fire regulations. Our fabrics vary and you should enquire to make sure you select the right fabric. A fabric may be able to be treated with an FR coating to make it apply or in some cases can be used with a fire retardant interliner. If in doubt please contact us.
For more information regarding FR Treatments and what is required please contact FIRA (fira.co.uk)

Facts To Learn Before You Buy A Thesis Online
A thesis is a very important and complex paper that you need to complete in order to graduate. It is time consuming and difficult. A thesis aims to push the student to come up with a new idea about a subject. It is meant to add to the knowledge pool. This is one of those papers that you will need to complete in order to graduate. It should be written so that it could be published. It will take a lot of research and planning to succeed at this task.
Many students will take the short cut and purchase a thesis online. They think that the benefit of not having to waste all of that time writing and the superior quality of a purchased paper is worth the consequences. There have been a few students who have learned the hard way, that his form of cheating is not beneficial or allowed.
- There is no guarantee that you are getting an original paper. Do you think for one second that these companies would not recycle a paper if they could? After being in business all of those years, they would have a wide collection of completed papers. They can up their profit if they don't have to write a paper that they are getting paid for. It wouldn't be ethical and there are some companies out there that would never follow this practice but how would you know the difference.
- You are going to have to present your thesis anyways. It will be so much harder to hide the fact that you purchased the paper instead of writing and researching it yourself when it is time to present your thesis to the board. They are going to be staring right at you and you may start to jumble through it with guilt pouring from your face.
- There are a bunch of scammers out there that will take advantage of college students who are desperate for help. You won't know it is a scam most of the time until it's too late and you have already made the transaction.
Many students will read this article and still go buy their thesis online. The worst part is that when they get caught, all of those years of work and preparation for graduation and all of the money that was sink into the school will all be for nothing when they are caught and they can't finish their degree program and get kicked out of school.

The attacks in Paris have sparked global horror, sympathy and deep sorrow. Also in Hamburg, thoughts are with the victims and their families.
Olaf Scholz, First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Republic of Germany cultural affairs under the Treaty on Franco-German cooperation, said upon his return from China:
"We mourn the many deaths and our thoughts are with the relatives of the victims and the many people hurt in Paris. They have our deepest sympathy. These hideous act of terrorism has been directed against our democracy, our freedom and the way we live. We will defend democracy, freedom, and our way of life and firmly stand on the side of our French friends. "
In an interview with the German press agency dpa, Hamburg's Deputy Mayor Katharina Fegebank called the terrorist bloodshet in Paris "attacks on the heart of the free and civilized society".
Hamburg's Senator Michael Neumann said at NDR: "For me, it is still unbelievable and unimaginable what has happened in Paris in regard to brutality and crime." He shares the deep sorrow with the families who have lost loved ones.
Social Media
Dismay and disbelief rules in the social networks. Nous sommes unis – "We are united" reads a message now often found in the social media. "The assassinations of innocent civilians is an attack on all of us", it says in many posts.
Social media were high in demand to organise assistance and to make sure families and friends are fine. People searched for friends and acquaintances via Twitter and other channels. To people not able to return home due to closed metro lines, Paris locals offered a night in their homes via Twitter with the #PorteOuverte (# Open Door) . Facebook set up a page showing if friends were in Paris during the attacks, and if they were safe.

Research SummaryThe developing brain and the emergence of behavior a case for neuromodulation
Of the many complex tasks that our brains do in our daily lives, one probably pays little attention to the task of moving from one place to another. Yet, the generation of movement involves neural circuitry distributed within our nervous systems and millions of computations occurring within these circuits. How the nervous system plans, commands and executes locomotion is only poorly understood.
Locomotion develops quite early in life as a mechanism to ensure the survival of young animals. A further question then is how an immature nervous system generates coordinated movement using a constantly evolving underlying circuitry. In my lab, I am using the zebrafish as a model system to understand how locomotion is generated by immature and mature neural circuitry.
Swimming in zebrafish is generated by circuits located in the spinal cord which are in turn activated by signals from the brain. The bulk of these signals are carried by descending projections from the reticulospinal neurons of the hindbrain. Using opto-genetic tools and a combination of whole-cell patch clamp recordings, suction electrode recordings and calcium imaging, we will tease out how signaling in the reticulospinal network leads to the initiation of swimming at different stages of life.

The Kaohsiung International Marina Development Association wants to establish a superyacht marina facility in Taiwan's southern port city
A new group, the Kaohsiung International Marina Development Association (KIMDA), held its first meeting recently to develop plans for the establishment of a superyacht marina in Kaohsiung. The group was initiated by Captain Paul Brackley, who heads up Central Yacht in Hong Kong.
The meeting attracted a sizeable number of interested business people and citizens who support the idea of developing a superyacht marina in Kaohsiung. This southern Taiwanese city is not only the country's major port, but also the key centre for yacht building in Taiwan with companies such as Horizon Yachts based there.
The aim of KIMDA is to encourage the Taiwanese government to share in setting up the superyacht marina facility in Kaohsiung. The attendees at the meeting share a common view about the benefit that a superyacht marina could bring the city in terms of employment and spending.
The formation of such a lobby group as KIMDA is unusual in Taiwan, but it is seen as an appropriate and more democratic way of putting pressure on legislators to do the right thing for the city of Kaohsiung. The economic benefits of ten 60m (196ft) superyachts in a marina compared to 100 speedboats of around 12m (40ft) would be much higher, and the environmental impact would be lower.
The Taiwanese yachting market has opened up in recent years with more marinas being developed and the launch of the Taiwan International Boat Show in 2014. Central Yacht recently started promoting the availability of a 110m (360ft) dry dock, owned by the Kaohsiung Harbour Bureau, for superyacht repair and refit projects.

Spiritual Transformation: on the road to Damascus (Self Denial 2)
Spiritual Transformation: on the road to Damascus
Self-denial 2 2018
Today is the second of our 3-week series of Prayer and Self-Denial to raise money and awareness of the missionaries gone from NZ to South and South East Asia under TRANZSEND.
[video clip]
The theme this week is that of a new perspective. I want us to look at the ways our thoughts and attitudes change as we allow ourselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 9
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So, they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything.
Let me relate a similar event in the life of Sadhu Sundar Singh:
Sundar Singh was a Hindu born in 1889 in India and he similarly was hostile to the gospel, but he too had a dramatic encounter with the Risen Lord, like Saul. He too went on to be one of the greatest Christian evangelists to come out of India.
[Read his account…][1]
Paul and Sundar Singh are the classic dramatic conversion, but regardless whether they are Damascus Road type conversions or lower key conversions, all conversions have the same ingredients. 3 elements exist: Sin is confronted, there is transformation and there is a world view change
Let's look at each of these 3 separately
Confronting Sin
Saul was met by God in the most unexpected and confronting way. There is nothing more attention grabbing than a blinding light and the appearance and audible voice of Jesus.
Bill Hybels wrote that some people will only be reached when they are confronted courageously and straightforwardly with their sin and their need to repent. [2]
Saul in his encounter with the Risen Christ on the road to Damascus did not find a new God to worship, but he discovered that he was in rebellion against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by refusing to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah. His persecution of the disciples, by which he sought to destroy the church, meant that he was actively opposing God's saving purpose for Israel and the nations.[3]
Sin is not only the preserve of the unconverted though. We also need to face up to the standards of attitude and behaviour that God has set down.
But no matter what stage of our journey with Christ we are in, whether at the start or well down the journey, we find it difficult to be made aware of our wrong attitudes and doings.
We are great at justifying our thoughts and actions.
I was told this week of some pastors in another city finding out that one of their pastor mates was committing adultery. They confronted him about it and he admitted it, saying that he was such a loving man that he had so much love to give out and he could see no wrong in what he was doing. He was blinded by his own justification of his sin.
So many of us are positionally and potentially new creatures in Christ, but practically we are still doing the old things, still wandering in the wilderness and getting nowhere.[4]
We avoid any place where we might have to confront our sin. And that happens in churches. How many times people will say to themselves, I can't go up to the front and get prayer because everyone will think I have a problem. And the longer you have been in a church, the less likely you are to come up the front for prayer. Does that mean that you are more sinless? I doubt it.
Fear of being confronted by one's sin is a stumbling block that prevents some from being welcomed into the family of God and that same fear forces many people to leave the family of God too. They don't want to be confronted with their sin.
And when people go from one church to run away from correction, they are destined to repeat the cycle of church hopping every time the new church gets close to confronting their sin.
No one likes their sin exposed, but God says give it to me voluntarily before I must expose it publicly.
We need to confront our own sin before the external spotlight bears down on us.
Transformed but not perfect
For Saul, the active persecutor became an even more active preacher and evangelist, and he who made others suffer for his calling upon the name of Jesus came to suffer himself for the sake of that name.[5]
Unlike Saul, for most of us transformation of the Spirit is a gradual and continuous process.
It seems that many modern Christians are more likely to expect a microwave instead of a Crockpot approach to transformation.[6]
Oswald Chambers wrote: When we are born again the Holy Spirit begins to work his new creation in us and there will be a time when there is nothing remaining of our old life.[7]
Colossians 3:10 Put on your new nature and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
Let me highlight a bit there we may skip over: be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. It is a process!
We cannot expect to be mirror images of Christ from the minute we confess our sins and believe.
Ephesians 4:23-24 … let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
Transformation takes many shapes and forms
Let us not assume there is no transformation just because it does not look like our transformation or our expectation of what it looks like.
Saul/Paul had that issue when he was presented to the disciples after his transformation.
Acts 9:26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.
The same grace which brings a person new birth is able to transform him or her into Christ's image
2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
World view changed
Saul's attitude and understanding of the world and of God changed - Changed from chasing down and ferreting out the heretic Christian sect to becoming one of that group.
He turned from anti-Christian Judaism to Christianity.
We are talking about his worldview. A world view is our pre-existing ideas and assumptions that largely determine what we can see, hear, or otherwise observe.[8]
All people see the world, not as it is, but as they are[9] through their own lenses.
No matter what our cultural background is, our worldview needs to change when we encounter Christ.
Romans 12:2 Don't copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
God defines our entire life and worldview[10].
And if we adopt the God worldview (which we must if we are to be called Christian) we will find that we are going against the grain and living outside social norms.
1 Peter 4: 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The mission field can be a very difficult place to live when an individual's world view is dramatically different from that of the people they are serving.
And that is applicable whether the mission field is Thailand or here in Glengarry.
We need to support transformed people in their growth, just as we would expect to be supported and encouraged in our growth.
f we go back to the story again in Acts 9. Saul was converted, baptised and eventually accepted into the disciples group. The Jews were out to kill him but his new brothers and sisters in Christ protected him
Acts 9:23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, 24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.
Not only did they physically shield him, they also went into bat for him when the sceptical disciples queried whether he was a convert – first Ananias then Barnabas:
Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
The question I leave with you is this: how are encouragers and supporters of our fellow Christ followers, both here in these church, and new converts in foreign lands?

In Diamond/Pearl, there's a hidden entrance to Wayward Cave under the Cycling Road.
You can get a Gible in there, but there are boulders in the way and you need to push them away.
Is there any way to get Gible before you can get Strength?
Unfortunately, no.
You can only get Gible in the bottom level of Wayward Cave in Diamond/Pearl, and that can only be accessed after you get the HM Strength.
Hope I helped!

ICO Analysis: Invox Finance Platform
Invox Finance Platform is offering a decentralized invoice financing solution.
The Invox Finance Platform is essentially a marketplace that connects three main parties: sellers, investors, and buyers.
Sellers are able to sell their outstanding invoices to Investors to accelerate payments and cash flow. Investors can seek higher rates of return and diversify their investment portfolio. Buyers will receive extended invoice payment periods and get rewarded for verifying invoices.
A report on corporate insolvency by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission found that 40% of businesses had inadequate cash flow or high cash use.
The current market is estimated at$ 2.85 trillion USD.
Traditional invoice financing involves a financier buying an invoice from a seller and essentially gambling on a buyer they don't have a direct relationship with. The financier is only able to trust the information provided by sellers, who will paint a much more appealing picture than the reality of the buyer situation. This exposes financiers to a considerable amount of risk, who will in return price their terms accordingly. The Invox Finance Platform team wants to create a decentralized platform that connects all parties in order to provide a high degree of visibility and confidence.
The Invox Tokens will be built on the Ethereum network using the ERC-20 standard and will give users the utility of providing access to the platform through a Trusted Member Program, reward work performed for the program (invoice verification, payment of invoices, and settlement of invoices).
The project's token distribution is as follows:
- Marketing: 45%
- Investment Fund: 20%
- System Development: 19%
- Miscellaneous: 1%
The tokens are offered at a rate of 1 INVOX = .0001 ETH, with a max cap of 20,000 ETH (roughly $17 million USD). There is a pre-sale cap of 2,941 ETH (roughly $2.5m USD)
The Invox Finance Platform team aims to roll out their platform in a series of geographic regions. Their primary focus is to further establish their stronghold in Australia and New Zealand, and then the United States and Singapore, then UK, France, Germany, and finally the Netherlands, Poland, and Russia.
The team behind Invox Finance Platform has experience running an invoice financing company in Australia called ABR Finance Pty Ltd (www.abrfinance.com.au). ABR has been in business since 2012 and helped with around $30 million AUD in invoicing in a variety of industries ranging from IT, wholesale, construction, transport, engineering, equipment and labor hire, publishing and professional services.
The founding team aims to have seeded over $500,000 AUD from their own capital by the completion of the ICO.
Invoice is a compelling project with many strengths. The size of the global invoice financing market alone makes this project a high-value proposition for investors looking for a low-risk, high-reward opportunity.
- While the team does have the edge of experience, the token is a simple ERC20 that doesn't provide a substantial barrier to other competitors in the market. -1
- Similarities to the Populous platform. Although the whitepaper explicitly outlines how the Invox Finance Platform is different from Populous, the differences could be overcome with a simple pivot in algorithm. -2
- Uphill marketing endeavor. While the majority of the token proceeds will be devoted to marketing, being based in Australia does pose some substantial challenges for the Invox Finance Platform team to grow out of it to the specified countries on its roadmap. -2
Growth Potential
- One of the main advantages here is that it's still early enough to get in on the presale, which launches in a few days. Earning a 30% bonus (or lower depending on when you enter the token sale) on your investment gives this a gives you an edge off the bat. +4
- The invoice financing global market valued at approximately $2.85 trillion USD. That's a fairly large opportunity for a product that seems to have an edge in facilitating the flow of transactions and improving relationships. +4
- I like the tiered membership programs, which are essentially yearly subscription fees paid in Invox Tokens. Each tier entitles the subscriber to different levels of funding. +2
- Invested team. According to the whitepaper, it seems the founding team is putting 500,000 AUD into the project, which seems integral to their parent company's business model. +2
We arrive at a +7 out of 10 for Invox Finance Platform. The team's incentive seemed very aligned with the success of the project. The Invox Finance Platform team will have some difficulty in growing past Australia, but if it's able to pose a substantially feasible alternative to the current invoice financing methods

'Stan Savige had been on Gallipoli for just two weeks, in the trenches firing at Turks less than 20 metres away. But Sniper's Ridge was a different proposition. Killing took on another dimension. In the flurry of trench warfare, a soldier would rarely be certain he had hit an enemy. On this ridge of death, however, Savige's job was to make sure he struck as many of the opposition as possible.'
The son of a country butcher, Stan Savige left school at twelve to become a blacksmith's striker. But in 1915, a passage in the bible inspired the devout scout leader and Sunday school teacher to enlist. Soon his abilities as a crack marksman attracted the attention of the officers and he was put in charge of Sniper's Ridge, his job to eliminate the enemy assassins in Anzac Cove. Savige succeeded and survived Gallipoli, only to be sent to the Western Front then Iran as part of the crack squad Dunsterforce. It was the beginning of a long, dangerous and distinguished military career spanning both world wars, with Savige commanding and fighting in Europe, Iran, North Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific in World War II, initially as Major-General then Lieutenant General.
In this gripping biography, Roland Perry paints a fascinating and complex portrait of Lieutenant General Sir Stanley George Savige, KBE, CB, DSO, MC, ED, a man of character and compassion, a quiet outsider who founded the war veterans' support charity Legacy, who still has few peers in courage, skill and achievement and whose record is second to none in Australian military history, in the scope of his combat over two world wars.

Akron high school graduates of the class of 2009 could have an opportunity that their predecessors may have never imagined in their lifetimes if a much-talked-about ballot issue passes Nov. 4.
For the first time in the city's history, an ambitious city plan to lease the Akron sanitary sewer system to a private operator could result in free scholarships for every Akron resident who wishes to pursue higher education upon graduation from high school.
Akron City Council interrupted its summer recess to pass an ordinance that places Issue 8 on the ballot, giving voters the option to say 'yea' or 'nay' to the Akron Scholarship Plan. The ordinance passed adds a new section to the city charter which, among other things: establishes the Akron Scholarship Plan; authorizes the lease of the sewer system to a private operator; and guarantees a 3.9 percent cap on annual rate increases.
That initial step – getting the issue on the ballot – was important enough for Council to move on quickly. That way, Council President Marco Sommerville said, the will of the people can be heard on the issue come Election Day.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to accomplish something that's never been done in this city's history – give every high school graduate who wants it an opportunity for free higher education," Sommerville (W-3) said. "No matter what the arguments are on either side of this issue, the implications for the concept alone are just so exciting that the idea deserves serious thought and consideration."
Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic introduced the idea during his State of the City Address early this year. Plusquellic said proceeds from the lease would be placed into a scholarship fund to be managed by the Akron Community Foundation. Scholarships would pay for tuition at the University of Akron and other trade or community colleges in the area.
Some residents have questioned whether turning over the reins of the sewer system to a private operator would mean higher rates, a decline in services and job losses. To address some of those fears, the mayor appointed an Akron Scholarship Plan Advisory Committee to study all of the implications of the plan and offer recommendations in the best interests of Akron residents. The committee recommended a plan which includes employee and consumer protections, caps on rate increases and maintaining environmental and customer service standards.
Council's Public Utilities Committee Chair James P. Hurley III (W-1) served on the advisory committee. In his capacity as committee chair and as an electrician who works with public utilities, Hurley was asked to participate. He accepted the invitation because he wanted to make sure that protections for workers and for vital city services would be part of the plan.
In fact, Hurley said he would not have participated or voted for the ballot initiative without any provisions for job protections. It is because of that commitment to jobs that Hurley said Council passed the second ordinance to make sure sewer employees who choose not to work for the new operator have jobs in the city with the same pay and benefits.
"Certainly I had reservations because of the jobs question; I am a firm believer in a fair day's wage," Hurley said. "But as a whole, I agree with what the mayor is trying to do if it means educating our citizens."
Council passed additional legislation that makes clear who is eligible. Originally, the mayor proposed scholarships for graduates of all Akron public and approved nonprofit high schools. The ordinance expands eligibility to include Akron resident G.E.D. recipients, home schooled students and those who – due to state law – attend schools in adjoining suburbs such as Coventry, Springfield and Copley.
Household income will not be considered when awarding scholarships, but applicants would be directed to first apply for available financial aid. They would also be required to live and work in Akron for 30 years, or repay the scholarship money if they decide to move.
Sommerville said Council's decision to pass the three related ordinances boils down to the greater good for the greater amount of people.
"If this passes, this city will have a period of adjustment to deal with," Sommerville said. "But at the end of the day, what's at stake here is the potential for every high school graduate in Akron to have a quality education no matter their family income.
"We're on the verge of something big here."

Healthy Twist on the traditional German Asparagus
This dish makes me so nostalgic. Growing up in Germany, with nearing asparagus time we would eat this at least once a week. Traditional set up being: White asparagus, Ham, sauce hollandaise and white potatoes with parsley and butter. If you're vegan or you just want to feed your body as best you can it doesn't have to mean that you won't get to experience these feelings of childhood comfort food again.
All you need to do is slightly alter it - but do pour in your love sparingly.
1/2 bunch trader joe's green asparagus.
1 small organic sweet potato
1/2 organic zucchini
3 Tofurky slices
2 tbsp earth-balance margarine-like spread
Dash Turmeric
Ground black pepper
sea Salt
Wash all your veggies, cut the ends of the asparagus, peel the sweet potato and cut the zucchini and the sweet potato into discs. I use my Asian Bamboo Steamer to cook my veggies because it intensifies their color, flavor and keeps most of the nutrients in while making them easy to digest.
Once cooked cube/chop the zucchini and set aside in little bowl.
Mash the Sweet potato with a fork and a teaspoon of earth balance and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Separate the asparagus into 3 little bunches and use the Tofurky slices as a blanket covering it around each bunch.
For the sauce take a sauce pan and melt the earth balance and add in salt pepper and a dash of turmeric.
Take a plate with an indentation and pour the sauce into it.
Then you can decoratively place your ingredients, using your own creativity or simply copying my lay out from the photo.
Enjoy, have a great sunday and 2nd Advent,
