The employment patterns in Australia are changing. More and more people are moving away from permanent employment positions. According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and The Reserve Bank of Australia, it is clear that the number of casual workers has continuously increased over the past five decades. This can be explained from both the employers' and the employees' perspectives. The aspects form some sort of a loop in which the employees' behavior influences that of the employers. The trends have been explained by several factors more so, the need by the employees to balance between work, family, and studies.
As an employer, you might be wondering whether you need to employ casual staff. Well, that's the tide sweeping across Australia and many other countries. Casual employment is more common in the fields that experience massive upsurges and nosedives in the number of clients such as the retail and hospitality industries. So let's roll it out for you.
Casual employees are essential because they give you the freedom to increase your workforce when you are experiencing a rise in the number of clients. At this time, you can afford to raise your wage bill because you are generating more income.
On the other hand, during the off-peak seasons, you can simply downsize your personnel to the numbers that you can comfortably accommodate.
This gives you the flexibility you need especially if your niche experiences significant seasonal changes.
Keeping casual staff is cost effective because you only call them in when you need them. Though their hourly rates also include a loading wage, they are still cheaper to maintain in the long run. This is because you don't have to pay them other entitlements as you would for the permanent employees. They are not entitled to annual leave, and you don't give them sick pay which is a way of cutting down on the costs.
From your casual employees, you can easily find people to promote to permanent positions. This saves you the cost of running ads or paying for the recruitment of employees. What's more, you get to have a better understanding of the person you are giving a permanent position because you have worked with them before and you know how to get the best out of them.
They will also fill any gaps that you may have in the current moment, whilst you are looking for your permanent team-member.
The problem with casuals is that they might look elsewhere when you are on low season. Sometimes, they go and go for good. But if you have some incentives in place, you have better chances of keeping your casual staff.
The employees that prefer casual employment are those who want a flexible schedule that gives them room to pursue other things. This is particularly common with the young persons. Another motivation is the higher hourly wage relative to permanent workers.
There you have it. Do a check and gauge whether you need to hire casuals. Remember, it is only worth the effort if you have a good chance of drawing good returns from it.

It's cold. It's really cold ... but there's snow on the ground right now and SB has taken the chance to burn a HUGE scrap pile of cast off trimmings from his woodcutting activities. He will come in all smoky and red on his front side and cold and clammy on his back side - the hazards of tending a brush pile. It's a busy time for us both AND for that lovely little chickadee that I caught mid-flap, as he headed out away from the feeders ... see him? Look closely!
While SB started up the brush pile, I took a call from a friend in need of help getting to her doctor's appointment. The cancer treatment center is an all afternoon affair, so THAT meant I needed to put the crock pot in gear if we wanted a warm cozy supper! I pulled the pantry doors open and pulled out the makings for a tomato sauce, yanked the fridge doors and hauled out cheese and sausage and mushrooms. A bit of slice and dice, a spritz of olive oil and a lump of butter, and a hot pan got things going.
- Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, butter, onions, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often until they are glistening and softened.
- Add the garlic and spices and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the tomatoes and juices and let the tomatoes soak up the spices and oil and butter.
- Turn the sauce into the crock pot/slow cooker. Set the temp for 'LOW' and the time for '8 hours'. Start the timer, cover the pan, and prepare the sausage.
- To prep the sausage, clean out the fry pan, and place it over high heat. When the pan is hot, toss the chunks of sausage in and let them brown well before turning them/tossing them to brown the other sides. Let them get a bit 'crunchy'.
- When the sausage is well browned, use a slotted spoon to drain the sausage. Transfer the sausage to the slow cooker sauce.
- Meanwhile, boil some water and add the hot water to the tomato paste and chicken broth. Stir the broth together and pour the mix into the tomato sauce, stir well, cover the pot and let it cook for at least 6 hours before removing the cover and stirring, tasting and correcting the seasonings.
- To make the final dish, mix the ricotta, egg, Asiago, cracker crumbs, salt and pepper in a bowl and set aside.
- Cook the pasta to al dente stage in a deep pasta pot. Drain and have ready.
- Grate the mozzarella cheese and have ready.
- Rub some olive oil in the bottom and around the edges of a 13 x 9 baking casserole pan.
- Scoop some of the gravy into the bottom of the pan and spread it to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Scatter ⅓ of the cooked pasta over the sauce.
- Use a spoon to place 12 equal dollops of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, scoop two more ladles of sauce over this layer, place the second ⅓ of the noodles over top, more sauce, the last third of the noodles, the rest of the sauce.
- Top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Tent some foil over top the ziti and bake in a 375° F oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes more - until the cheese is browned a bit.
- Serve piping hot with a salad or a side vegetable.

Kim Dotcom will livestream his extradition appeal
Kim Dotcom, the brazen founder of file hosting service Megaupload, has been granted permission by a New Zealand judge to livestream his appeal against his extradition to the US.
That's a big win for Dotcom, who is wanted in the US on charges of copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering. His request to stream the court proceedings was opposed by the US; the prosecution raised concerns about the stream contaminating the potential jury pool being contaminated.
Breaking News: Judge has granted live streaming! Success!
— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) August 29, 2016
In a chat with the BBC, Dotcom explained that the allegations against him are not that he personally infringed copyright, but that he aided many people (users of Megaupload) in doing so; according to Dotcom, holding him responsible for their actions is the same (and equally ridiculous) as holding a car manufacturer responsible for accidents caused by drivers of their vehicles.
A few moments ago I caught up with @KimDotcom to discuss the live-streaming of his extradition appeal pic.twitter.com/47Rz9n3FWN
— Dave Lee (@DaveLeeBBC) August 30, 2016
Newshub notes that Dotcom will provide his own camera for the event, which is slated for tomorrow. The livestream will be delayed by 20 minutes, and all copies of the footage will need to be removed from the internet at the end of the trial. In addition, user commenting features will have to be disabled on the feed.
Naturally, a lot is at stake for Dotcom. In addition to the possibility to being shipped off to the US to stand trial, his plans for the second coming of Megaupload also hang in the balance.
In July, Dotcom said he was working on the next version of the cloud storage service, which is slated to launch next January with features like on-the-fly encryption, unlimited transfers and white-label hosting options.
It'll most certainly be interesting to follow the hearing, as the outcome will likely have major ramifications for future cases involving copyright infringement and content sharing on the Web.
The stream is live right now.

HDR is a photographic technique that you may have seen several of examples of, but perhaps you don't know what they are or how they're done. So the aim of this article is to introduce you to the world of HDR photography.
The letters HDR stand for High Dynamic Range, in photography dynamic range is roughly the area between having the highlights burnt out and the shadows to dark to see anything in. When it comes to recording a scene a camera has quite a limited dynamic range compared to our eyes, which is why so often our photographs don't quite capture the scene as we recall seeing it. To do that we need to expand the dynamic range of our photographs, this is done by taking a series of photographs with different shutter speeds. Normally, HDR is done with three shots, one over exposed, one under exposed and one correctly exposed, but five or more shots can be used.
Take a look at these three photos.
The left photo is the normal 'correct' exposure. The stained glass windows just a bit burnt out and there is very little detail in the choir stall. The middle photo has much better detail in the window, but none at all in the choir stall. In the right hand photo you can see the detail in the organ pipes, the choir stall and the stonework of the archway, but the window is almost burnt out.
All the shots are then combined into one image using image combining software, the most popular being Photomatix but there are other programs that can do the merging, some versions of Photoshop can also be used to create HDR images, there's also some mobile phone apps that do it, but generally a specialist program like Photomatix will give you more control over the finished image.
So how do you get your three, or more, photos? One method is to mount the camera on a tripod take a meter reading and take the first shot, then change the shutter speed for a slower one and take the second shot then select a faster shutter speed and take the third shot etc. This method isn't very convenient and in many situations you either wouldn't be allowed, or won't be able, to set up a tripod. However there is an easier way. Most DSLRs have an auto bracketing mode which once enabled will take photos in batches of three, or more depending on the camera, one being the correct exposure the other two being the under and over exposed photos. Depending on your the camera the degree of change in the exposure value can be altered to your requirement. Once the camera is in bracket mode it's simply a matter of holding the camera very, very steady and pressing the shutter release three times, or using the continuous shooting feature if the camera has one. It's a good idea to take several groups of shots that way you can choose the best set to process into an HDR image. I take three shots because that's all that my camera can do automatically, more would mean using to a tripod.
The photo below is the result of merging the three photos in Photomatix, as you can see there is good detail in the stained glass window and all the way back to the organ and choir stalls. (there are, of course, no prizes for spotting the photographer in the mirror! I saw the mirror, but didn't realise until I got home that I was in it!!)
So how was that image created.
The first step is to fire up the photo merge program, I'm using Photomatix, but there are other options. Then you import the thee photos, in photomatix it's a nice easy drag'n'drop procedure.
Click on "Adjust" and this is what you're presented with.
In the top left are a number of presets, try them all, and find the one you like best. Also on the left are the settings sliders, if none of the presets give you a result you like you can move the four sliders about to fine tune the look of the image. On the right hand side there are a number of preset thumbnails which if you click on them will apply that style to your image.
In the image below all the settings sliders have been set to 100%
A word of caution at this point, try not to get carried away with the settings sliders. HDR is a great process for creating artistic images, but extreme HDR images don't always suit every subject, and, as the old adage goes 'less is often more'. When you've got your image looking the way you want click on 'Finish' and save your masterpiece.
When taking your shots there are a couple of things to remember when shooting for HDR. Firstly, all the photos have to be identical there can't be any changes in them so people walking through the shot will cause ghosts, although Photomatix can remove some of the ghosts, so HDR is not a good technique for action photos. Second, when taking your bracketed shots remember to change the shutter speed not the aperture as that will change the depth of field and the three photos won't be exactly the same.
One final point. Remember to switch off the bracket mode once you've finished shooting your HDR sets otherwise you're going to be very disappointed with two out of every three single shots you take later on!
(yes, I speak from experience on that!!)
HDR is a bit of a controversial technique, some photographers dislike it immensely and the rules of some photographic competitions specifically exclude HDR entries as do some photo websites. I've had submissions to photo gallery websites rejected because they were HDR and not normal photos. Of course, if you use your HDR software with a very light touch you can often create an image that is almost indistinguishable from a normal photo, doing this would probably be OK for gallery websites, but it's not a good idea to deliberately break the rules in competitions.
Used carefully HDR can be a great tool for creative photography and once you've started with HDR each time you're out taking photos you'll find yourself thinking, "that would look great in HDR". So welcome to the world of the HDR photographer.
I hope you've found this article interesting and informative so I'll end with some example HDR photos of my own.
With these two my aim was to create photos that were almost conventional record shots, but to add a bit of impact to the subject.
With these two the idea was to create a bit of a dramatic look rather than a true record of the churches concerned.
Finally, an example of an HDR looking photo created using only one photograph to demonstrate that even a single photo can be made into something that looks more interesting than a straight forward photo. OK, so I know that not everyone is going to find a picture of four class 450 EMUs in the yard at Clapham Junction interesting. The photo on the left is the original the one on the right has been processed in photomatix to look like an HDR image, but obviously you don't gain the benefits of a true HDR image.

San Francisco, CA — June 1, 2016
Esurance, building on its successful DriveSense™ device program, announced DriveSense mobile — its first usage-based insurance application downloadable on iOS and Android™ smartphones. DriveSense mobile is available now in Utah to Esurance policyholders, and will roll out to additional states this year.
The new DriveSense mobile application uses smart telematics technology that could help users improve their driving while also rewarding them for being safe and responsible behind the wheel. When they sign up for DriveSense, they automatically receive an initial 5 percent discount. After a customers' first policy term, they could earn a personalized discount every term. The amount varies and is based specifically on their driving, so the safer they drive, the more they will save.
"Transitioning to a mobile platform makes it even simpler for our customers to join the DriveSense program and get access to real-time reports immediately following their trip. And that can help them make smart choices about their driving behavior," said John Erickson, vice president of analytics and research at Esurance. "Esurance is on the forefront in mobile-tracking technology and we continue to see telematics playing an important role in our product portfolio because of the benefits it brings to our customers."
DriveSense automatically senses when the car is in motion and begins logging important driving details like speeding, braking, and the time of day. Through the app, users can gain better visibility into their driving habits right from their phone. Drivers can see how many times they were a bit heavy-footed, when they hit the brakes a little too hard, and how often they have driven lately. Audible notifications are also available to help track and change driving habits in real time. In turn, all this personalized driving info could help make DriveSense users safer, smarter drivers.
The app also includes the following unique features and widgets:

At Language Log, Geoffrey Pullum points out that the headline's thesis of Jason Wire's article "20 Awesomely Untranslatable Words from Around the World" is pretty much defeated by the body of his text. Pullum provides a handy table of the words, including "in each case a translation (derived from what Jason himself supplies in his article)" and points out that the term translatable does not imply using the exact same number of words. Let me note in passing that every language, just like Yagan, should have a single word for "meaningful look between two people each reluctant to be the initiator" and move on to criticize Pullum's two entries from German, Torschlusspanik and the inevitable Schadenfreude.
Pullum translates Schadenfreude as "glee at another's misfortune". That's fine as a paraphrase, but in my humble experience, the English term for Schadenfreude is schadenfreude (335,000 Google results for English-language pages only). Sure, you might object that English simply imported the German term, but certainly a linguist like Pullum wouldn't want to argue that Germans don't have a single term for e-mail? (My attempts, inspired by Finnish, to replace the English-based term with the properly Teutonic Blitzbrief for a specific e-mail and Blitzpost for the phenomenon more generally were met by the community of German speakers with blank indifference.)
According to the table, Torschlusspanik translates as "gate-closing panic as age begins to close off opportunities". You may or may not accept this as an accurate paraphrase of the meaning as given in Pullum's source, which is: 'Translated literally, this word means "gate-closing panic," but its contextual meaning refers to "the fear of diminishing opportunities as one ages." (Altalang.com)' Both of these strike me as inaccurately specific - Torschlusspanik refers to worries due to any type of situation in which time is running out. If we click on the link given, we find a less incorrect description:'this word literally means "gate-closing panic" and is used to describe the fear of diminishing opportunities as one ages. This word is most frequently applied to women who race the "biological clock" to wed and bear children.' The phrase "is used to describe" is literally correct, but probably the source of the inaccurate paraphrases on the other pages. And I'm not sure about the "most frequently applied" bit.
If this post gave you a Jieper for "more, more, more", you ought to check out Andrew Hammel's amusing and informative German Word of the Week series, in which he covers the really-tough-to-explain stuff like lichterloh (with discussion), the bizarre & obscure like Touristenblutwurst, as well as the beautiful & evocative like Karteileiche.

As you build up your site, avoid thinking a large number of advertising is how to increase your rankings. Although advertising on other sites may drive traffic towards your blog and thereby increase income, it will not increase your rankings.

A part of increasing your page ranking is consistently focusing on it, updating content and also striving making it better. When website visitors don't find relevant information they are searching for, they will leave. A key strategy to have more visitors in is usually to work towards your articles.
Use good, descriptive text for the site's title tag so search engines can figure out the relevance of your site's content, and display your blog in a great deal of search engine results. Use 60 characters of fewer because search engines typically will never display anymore content than that.

Cash Advance California
LEARN THE LATEST RULES AND REGULATIONS* ASSOCIATED WITH CASH ADVANCES AND PAYDAY LOANS IN California
Before you start your search for short-term funding in the Golden State, read on for up-to-date information on the state's rules and regulations for this type of funding. Please note that we do not offer our loan connection service to those living in California.
California Cash Advance Regulations
Compared to other states, California has strict rules and regulations that cash advance lenders must abide by. When getting a cash advance in California, you'll initially owe 15% in fees. You can only borrow up to $300, including loan fees, and you must pay the loan off within 31 days. Lenders cannot extend your loan. This means no rollovers.
In California, you are limited to one cash advance at a time. That means you can't take out several cash advances at once. The lender is allowed to charge you a $15 NSF fee in the event that your check isn't cashable at the end of your loan term. The lender is not allowed to take criminal action against you if you default on the loan.
Installment Loan Regulations for California
California's usury laws make it hard to receive a shorter-duration loan. Even so, lenders try to find ways to help consumers who need a fast payday loan. Installment loans serve as an alternative option for those seeking money ahead of their next paycheck. This form of lending may offer up to thousands of dollars worth of credit, which the consumer pays back over time.
While California regulates cash advance loans and thus makes them harder to find, borrowers may be able to receive installment loans of $2,500 to $5,000 with higher APRs. Looking for a less-regulated loan may increase the likelihood of being approved for those who have bad credit, although consumers should first try to find the most affordable financial product available to them.
California Cash Advance Lenders by City
California is home to some of the biggest cities in the country. These bustling cities are filled with cash advance lenders. If you're looking for a cash advance, you might be overwhelmed by the number of options. That's why we used Yelp to find a few lender locations for five of California's biggest cities. We can't guarantee that we have worked or currently work with any of these lenders. Please note that this list of lenders is being provided for informational purposes only.
- Los Angeles – Cashback Advance (also offers check cashing, auto loans), Simple Loans (also offers check cashing), Westwood Check Cashing- Advance & Auto Title Loans (also offers check cashing and auto title loans), Pit Stop Check Cashing (also offers check cashing)
- San Diego – DollarSmart Money Centers (also offers check cashing), Moneytree (also offers check cashing), Advance America Cash Advance (also offers check cashing), Check Advance of San Diego (also offers check cashing), USA Advance (also offers check cashing)
- San Jose – Frontera (also offers check cashing and auto loans), California Check Cashing Stores (also offer check cashing), Advance America Cash Advance
- San Francisco – Money Mart (also offers check cashing), Advance America (also offers check cashing), Cash Advance San Francisco (also offers check cashing), Reliance Title Loans (also offers auto title loans and check cashing)
- Fresno – Now Advance (also offers check cashing), Allied Cash Advance, MVP Cash Advance (also offers check cashing and notaries)
These are just some of the options out there for cash advance loans in your area.
California Payday Loan Regulations
It is important to remember that short-term loans go by a few different names. The regulations listed above are the same for all small-dollar, short-term loans of this type. Here is a little more information about this product:
- How Payday Loans Work – You get the money you need instead of having to wait until your next paycheck. When your check finally does come, money is automatically withdrawn from your account and paid to the lender.
- Maximum Amount – You can only borrow up to $300 (and that includes the fees associated with the loan).
- Repayment Extensions – In California, lenders are not allowed to extend these types of loans.
California State Economy
California, or The Golden State, has one of the biggest economies in the world. It can actually be compared to the economy of other major countries, even though it's just one of America's 50 states. The sectors that bring in the most money in California include manufacturing, real estate, trade, education, and health services. The current unemployment rate is at 6.4-percent.
Whether the economy is working for you or not, be sure you know the latest state regulations regarding cash advances before you borrow money in California.
*OpenCashAdvance.com strives to present accurate information on each state's regulations; however, we do not guarantee accuracy of data as presented. Please contact your state's department of finance or visit your state's official website for the most accurate information and inquiries. You can find your state's site here: www.dbo.ca.gov

Wishing you and yours peace, joy, serenity, and happiness in the coming new year.
Yes I know this is the year of the 'listicle' or Top 10 Lists, but I'm not going to waste my time or yours by posting one for you like everyone else will do in their end of the year blog posts. I'll leave that up to David Letterman who can do a far better job than I can. I also won't bore you with any 'selifies' of myself for that matter, because lets be honest here, you really have better things to do than to look at that!
Instead, I will leave you with a photo collage of some of the fun things I did throughout the year of 2013.
I had a very busy year as you can see here:
There was plenty of sewing, mending, altering, crocheting, costume making, designing and crafting, laughing, crying, and gnashing of teeth to be done as usual around here.
It was a lot of fun and I sure learned a lot. I hope that you were entertained and learned something new too by reading all of my crazy adventures this past year!
Cheers! And here is to an even better coming new year!

10 Benefits of Using Motorcycle Communication and Bluetooth Technology
Apr 11th 2018
I have been selling and using motorcycle communicators for 20+ years. Yes, it has been around for that long, and for 10 of those years it stayed mostly the same. 20 years ago Chatterbox was the leader in motorcycle communications . Chatterbox allowed us to experience helmet to helmet communication for passenger to rider and for the 1st time riders in a group could communicate effectively.
I love the question "When was the 1st motorcycle race? Answer: When the second motorcycle was built" Competition advances technology always.
We gotta love technology and how it can improve things in our lives. Yes, I will admit it gets overwhelming and the learning curve can be frustrating, but the benefits we find can improve our experiences greatly. Today there are 3 predominate companies that are currently battling it out to be the leader with the most advanced technology. Sena, Uclear and Scala Rider (Cardo). Hey, it is fun to watch and we benefit greatly from the competition. The last 5 years have been amazing and guess what? Hang on to your helmet cuz better stuff is coming soon.
Today the range of helmet communicators is remarkable due to the "daisy chain method" with one helmet relaying to another helmet. The most current buzz is dynamic mesh where a rider is not tied to a specific other, but connects by using a mesh grid. Now 15-20 riders can effectively talk in a group. Things are also getting better with improved ways of connecting to your bikes audio system these days.
What does all of this mean for you? Well it is simple what are your needs? What practical application and variations are available.
I have compiled a list of 10 practical uses,variations and reasons why to bluetooth'
1. Solo set-up
Music, business calls, calls from home or friends. GPS turn by turn . "Hey Google where is the next gas station? Hey Siri call home…"
2. Passenger to Rider
For 2-up communication that changes your touring experience. The rider and passenger can communicate by simply pushing a button. Otherwise play your music, call friends or Mom while sitting on back watching the sites. Rider can play music or GPS or passenger can be the navigator through gps and relay upcoming turn or stops.
3. Two bikes -2 couple setup
Check this out- Carol and Samantha can have their own conversation while Tom and Bill have theirs or all 4 can have a open conversation.
4. Four bikes 4 conversations. Talk 4-way or pick a rider and say "Dude are you in 3rd gear" or "I need gas."
5. 8 Riders meeting up at QT now through the app. You can all 8 talk via cell phone until you arrive, then bluetooth pair for the ride. See app Sena Ride Connect
6. 15 rider setups. In private conversation mode 15 helmets can simultaneously talk or public mode where more riders can enter the group on the fly. Sena Dynamic Mesh 30k
7. Open air half or biker style helmets.
With the improvements in increased noise cancelling technology software, we can now enjoy the benefits with an open air 1/2 or biker style helmet. Kits are custom to some helmets or are available as additions to most half helmets.
8. A Harley Ultra can utilize a corded headset with a built-in bluetooth communicator to talk using your CB or talk to another rider via bluetooth.
9. Go Boomless!
Boomless technology is not new, but is a great option. Advanced military technology brought to bikes now allows effective noise cancelling communication without the boom. uClear
10. Wireless to your bike
Boomless technology is not new, but is a great option. Advanced military technology brought to bikes now allows effective noise cancelling communication without the boom. uClear
Now connect to your bike without the cord and integrate a full bluetooth headset to your bikes Audio/Nav system using a device.

The Centre Party soars to a record level of 15.8 percent in the poll Kantar TNS has conducted on behalf of TV 2 in April. Meanwhile fall Labour dips below the 30 percent mark.
The Centre Party – representing mainly farmers and fishermen – are gaining a whopping 4.7 percentage points since March, according to the TV2 poll.
Not since measurements before the referendum on EU membership in 1994, the former Farmer's Party has had received better polls on by Kantar TNS (formerly known as Norwegian Gallup).
Simultaneously Labour drops like a stone. The party goes back by a staggering 3.6 per cent points, to 28.9 percent, just five months ahead of the general election.
The impact is also dramatic for Government's supporting parties; both the Christian Democrats and the Liberals are now below the threshold at 3.9 and 3.2 percent respectively. KrF plummets by around 1.5 percentage points, while the Liberals are also spiralling down by yet another 0.4 ppt.
The Conservatives has support from around a quarter of the voters (± 0.5) while the Progress Party retain more than 12 percent of the votes, down about 1 in one hundred. The Socialists stay unchanged at 4.7 percent.
If an election was to be held today, it would mean support for a change in Government, but Labour would only hold 54 seats in Parliament, one less than they have today. The Centre would however triple its parliamentary group from 10 to 30 representatives.
The two parties would then gain a total of 84 mandates and only needed the support of from one representative to achieve majority. That support could they can siphon from SV, KrF, Venstre, Rødt or MDG.
Margin of error is between 1.2 and 2.4 percentage points.

Too early for a reliable ETA. My wild guess is that it'll be ready in dev in a day or two. However, we're not pushing any major code live until after Christmas so it'll probably be available close to New Year's.
(The last couple days I've done a boatload of refactoring, cleaning up various bits of code and templates. I suspect if I push that out now I'll break something... which isn't wise right before Christmas.)

If you're looking for the right kind of skin care fashsionable sable fur eyelashes and you have oily skin, trying to find the right skin or acne treatments can be a little difficult. What can work for someone with dry or combination skin might not really work for someone with oily skin. That's why you should look for very specific ingredients in your skin care products that address the issues that are common for people with an oily complexion. Here are the kinds of qualities you want to look for when choosing treatment products for oily skin.
Use a Gentle Skin Cleanser
When you first start your acne treatment regimen, you might be under the impression that oily skin means you have to use a harsh cleanser that will completely dry your skin and soak up the oil. In fact, that's probably the worst thing you can do to your face! Over-dry skin not only creates dead cells that can clog pores and lead to breakouts, but your skin will try to produce more oil to compensate for all the fashsionable sable fur eyelashes. Look for a cleanser that is gentle on your face and body, will remove surface oil and combats bacteria on the surface as well as beneath the dermis.
Use Oil-Free Skin Care Products
Your skin is already producing more that enough oil, so you don't need to add to it by using products loaded with more oil! That means you should be looking for acne treatments, cleansers and moisturizers that are completely oil-free that won't aggravate your skin. Every single step of you skin care treatment routine should be oil-free – cleansers, lotions, and moisturizers should all be oil-free. Don't add products that are loaded with extras to your already oily skin!
Reduce Shine with a Mattifier
Your acne skin care routine doesn't just mean the everyday products that you use at home in the morning and the evening – oily skin gets shinier during the day, which means you'll need a mattifier that's designed to reduce shine caused by surface oil. Acne treatment products that reduce shine while offering SPF protection from the sun's UV rays will keep your skin looking smooth while fighting off acne-causing free radicals from the sun's rays.
Get the Right fashsionable sable fur eyelashes
Fashsionable sable fur eyelashes for people with oily skin is tricky because of the surface oil that can mix with the fashsionable sable fur eyelashes and clog pores throughout the day. If makeup is loaded with chemicals, your pores can become clogged with the fashsionable sable fur eyelashes residue mixing with the excess oil on the face. When looking for makeup, try to choose a more natural kind of makeup that won't aggravate your skin. Keep makeup light and use a primer that will get your skin ready to wear makeup during the day. And don't forget to wash your face completely at night when you start your acne treatment regimen!
Oily skin can still be healthy skin. Simply follow the advice above, and your shine will be beautiful instead of just oily!

When it is 120 degrees in the shade, this rock is hot enough to burn your hand, yet this lizard takes it all in its stride as it is equipped for such temperatures. In fact when it is cooler in the early mornings it can be found trying to soak up as much heat as possible as a prelude to getting the day started. Although at present it is happy to just sit here, if it becomes threatened it can move at an amazing speed, often dodging and weaving to evade any predators.

A broad range of products, threats and effects that overlap and complement each other are covered by harmonized European Union regulations. The general rule is that a product can fall under several legislative acts (directives) and can only be placed on the market or put into operation if it is in compliance with all applicable standards and if that product has been assessed for compliance with all applicable Union requirements and CE marked.
The European authorities concerned shall perform tasks related to the conformity assessment procedures laid down in the current EU technical harmonisation legal frame.
SIA "International Center for Quality Certification - ICQC", being an authorized (notified) agency dealing with conformity assessment, is accredited at the national level and notified on the European level, assuming responsibility in its area of competence and offering conformity assessment in the context of Directives 2006/42/EU (machinery), 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2014/34/EU (equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres), with the right to issue the EU Certificates of Conformity.
We also operate across other member states of the European Union or third countries, including the CIS.
We perform our functions in a competent, non-discriminatory, transparent, independent and impartial manner.
We have the professional staff at our disposal who have sufficient and adequate knowledge and experience as may be required to carry out conformity assessment under Union laws. We are responsible for all our activities and keep detailed records of the suitability of all employees who operate in certain areas our notification extends to.
We ensure that all information obtained during the conformity assessment is kept confidential and take steps as may be appropriate to ensure that the assessment outcomes and other information are not shared with the other party. Subject to confidentiality requirements that must be met by the authorities in the discharge of their duties, information to be shared with other authorities may not be classified as confidential commercial product information on matters relating to negative conformity assessment results.
We are insured against third-party harm, and the monetary cost of the policy correlates to risk levels.

Nick Westall, CTO at CACI, joined us in Venturi's Voice Slack on the 28th of March to host an 'Ask Me Anything'.
A seasoned mentor both in the tech sector and via mentoring programs at the Open University Business School and Toastmasters Nick was happy to answer questions on all aspects of the mentor, mentee relationship. You read over the whole transcript over in our Slack channel, Venturi's Voice.
Below are the highlights from the event.
Question by @Charlotte
Hi Nick, looking forward to this AMA. I'm a huge fan of mentoring but it was only ever introduced as a 'nice to have thing' and I found I had to really battle in my organisation to get a mentor (Being Microsoft, it wasn't necessarily a corporate level issue, but within the team and satellite offices, it was largely misunderstood or unknown).
What tips do you have for anyone who wants to introduce such a scheme to their team/department/organisation? HR? Senior Leadership?
It can really be hit-and-miss on whether your Corporate supports mentoring. It's quite a progressive activity, and unless there is a rallying point (HR or someone in a leadership position) it can be hard to start from scratch.
I believe you can almost always be the master of your own fate. Start yourself and start small. It doesn't need to be a corporate thing – it can start informally
If you are looking for a mentor – find someone you respect in the organisation who you think can help – and ask them. Say you respect them, and think they could help you with XYZ, and would they be willing to mentor you by meeting for coffee and a chat once a month.
If there is a team or a group at work ask them if anyone would be interested. Work with those who are. Others will come around later by word of mouth. You can act as the facilitator to get the first few going. Once you can demonstrate some level of success you can reach out for official corporate support
Unless the Corporate is already in the mentoring mindset – its best to start small and start local – or hook in with an outside group, e.g. women in industry, a trade association, academic alumni, etc…
Question by @Amanda Davie
I understand that some mentors are very clear and boundaries in terms of not also being a sponsor or introducer. Have you come across this? Where is the boundary line? And is it common to have both a sponsor and mentor?
It all depends on how comfortable and well placed the mentor is as to whether they also hold a role of sponsor and/or introducer. I'd suggest that as a mentor you are likely to have been selected by the mentee because you have knowledge and experience of resources (including personal contacts) that can help them with their journey. I have been happy to introduce and sponsor mentees where I feel comfortable with the mentee, and the introducee's willingness to be brought together. It is not always the case. Sometimes I'll take advice from someone in my network and pass this on to the mentee where they didn't want to be introduced.
Question by @Tommy G
You mentioned in your article a good mentoring relationship requires building trust quickly. What if that isn't an option? Say you can only meet your mentor once a month, how would you proceed?
Meeting once a month is not uncommon, in fact, most of my mentoring runs to a ~4-week cycle.
Mentors are often people you already know and respect for their skill or knowledge, or they may be a peer. In these cases, the relationship is already there enough to get things going.
If you're able to build in an extra session at the beginning this can help establish the relationship and determine how you will work together.
If you are absolutely stuck with a single face-to-face meeting then focus on getting to know each other, understand the objective of the mentoring, and next steps. You can always have a phone/skype call to supplement the first call.
While face-to-face is ideal to accelerate the relationship building bit at the beginning – voice-to-voice can work really well too. In fact, all of my OUBS (Open University business school) mentoring has been Skype-based!
Question by @Sam Davis
Thanks for sending the article over Nick. In it you said that the 'mentee's do the heavy lifting'. Is there a common misconception about the role of mentors in this regard? Have you had experiences where people have arrived for a mentoring session expecting a lecture or lesson? How do you mediate that situation when it happens?
Thank you for the question, Sam.
It can depend on how the mentee came to find their mentor. If its a structured programme run to bring mentors & mentees together and facilitate the process then the mentee usually has a clear understanding of how its likely to work.
Where there has been a less informal introduction – usually outside of a structured scheme – you can gently cover it during or before the first meeting when you are qualifying what the mentee would like to achieve. At the very least you will come up against it when your discussion results in something the mentee needs to do. This could happen when the mentor sign-posts a resource or activity for the mentee to complete as a next step.
That said – there is usually a fuzzy line between outright mentoring and coaching. You are likely to coach a mentee in the process they are going through – sometimes it is easy to lightly coach them so they get through it quickly (if time is of the essence) or point them in the direction of a subject matter expert who can take them through that stage. You need flexibility on each side. What works best for the mentee and your available time.
Question by @Amanda Davie
In your experience, in today's workplace, what % of mentors (roughly) are paid for their time/advice/support?
I do not have any hard facts on the percentage of paid mentors. My gut feel is that the greatest amount of mentoring is free through informal or organisational schemes. Paid engagements tend to be through agencies and consultancies where there is a specific business need or deficiency.
Quite a few agencies (e.g. OUBS) charge a small admin fee to run their mentoring scheme for their members, and the mentors provide their services free of charge. This approach means there is some skin in the game for the mentee – they are committing money as well as time to the process.

which necessitates adding the two ball

You'll need at least a 15-inch or equivalent servo extension to allow the wire to

text: The dimorphic fungus Mucor indicus was grown in different forms classified as purely filamentous, mostly filamentous, mostly yeast-like and purely yeast-like, and the relationship between morphology and metabolite production, inhibitor tolerance and the cell wall composition was investigated. Low concentrations of spores in the inoculum with subsequent aeration promoted filamentous growth, whereas higher spore concentrations and anaerobic conditions promoted yeast-like growth. Ethanol was the main metabolite with glycerol next under all conditions tested. The yields of ethanol from glucose were between 0.39 and 0.42 g g−1 with productivities of 3.2–5.0 g l−1 h−1. The ethanol productivity of mostly filamentous cells was increased from 3.9 to 5.0 g l−1 h−1 by the presence of oxygen, whereas aeration of purely yeast-like cells showed no such effect. All growth forms were able to tolerate 4.6 g l−1 furfural and 10 g l−1 acetic acid and assimilate the sugars, although with different consumption rates. The cell wall content of the fungus measured as alkali insoluble materials (AIM) of the purely yeast-like cells was 26% of the biomass, compared to 8% of the pure filaments. However, the chitosan concentration of the filaments was 29% of the AIM, compared to 6% of the yeast-like cells.

Health Concerns: Men's Health
Men's Health
Statistically, men visit their doctors less often than women and have fewer tests ordered. When they do, it's often to check specific complaints rather than have routine tests.
"If it isn't broken then don't fix it". Some men will stick to this motto for everything, including their own bodies. But your body won't always tell you when something is broken. There are many silent ailments that can cause big health problems. Luckily, basic health prevention education can go a long way.
For men, growing older can be a time of change–perhaps shifting family responsibilities, a career change, retirement, traveling or starting a new hobby. Men can proactively take care of their health as they age with annual physicals, a well-balanced diet, exercise, and by following preventative health strategies from a integrative health team.
