text: 29 Sep 2017 The 25-year-old inventor of a machine learning tool to help brands uncover future ideas has been named as the UK's most promising young technology entrepreneur by the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub. Nick Schweitzer, founder of Klydo, has received the JC Gammon Award, which provides £15,000 of funding and membership of the Enterprise Hub, as the winner of the Royal Academy of Engineering's Launchpad Competition – a nationwide search for the UK's greatest entrepreneurs in the engineering and technology sector, between the ages of 19 and 25. Up to 90% of attempted innovation in business fails. Nick aims to change this by creating a web tracking and machine learning technology that offers novel solutions to business problems, using the internet as its source of inspiration. It identifies what the future of an industry should be, helping business innovation succeed where it currently fails. The current methods used by agencies to identify client problems and solutions – ranging from desk research to face-to-face interviews – are often slow and, if carried out incorrectly, prone to error. Nick's technology brings creative intelligence to bear on these processes, establishing a new way to bring about positive change through the recombination of existing business intelligence and best practice. Nick was chosen as the winner at the annual Launchpad Competition final in London last night, by a panel of judges comprised of the UK's most successful engineering and technology business leaders. A separate People's Choice Award was presented following an audience vote and online voting in the run up to the event. It was won by Brittany Harris for her technology Qualis Flow, a remote sensing and data management tool to help users to manage their resources more sustainably. Brittany will now receive £1,000 as well as membership of the Enterprise Hub. Membership of the Enterprise Hub provides access to mentoring from the Academy's prestigious Fellowship, and training and network opportunities to help entrepreneurs build the skills and contacts crucial to success. It also gives access to the Taylor Centre, a professional space for Hub Members and their Mentors to develop their ideas, meet investors, and take their work to the next stage. David Gammon, CEO of Rockspring and a benefactor of the JC Gammon Award, said: "Every year, I am bowled over by the talent and ideas we see in the Launchpad Competition; they have the power to genuinely change the world, promising both social and economic impact. The package of support provided by the JC Gammon award and Enterprise Hub is designed to help fast-track these entrepreneurs, and help them get their innovations to market quicker. Nick and the Klydo team are ideal winners; with customers already on board and a track record of entrepreneurship amongst its founders, it is perfectly poised to continue its growth. Add to this the engineering expertise behind its machine learning and Klydo has a bright future ahead of it." Professor Andy Hopper CBE FREng FRS, chair of judges for the Launchpad Competition said: "At the Enterprise Hub, we know that – particularly for young entrepreneurs – financial support is just part of the puzzle, and that the right skills and contacts, as well as a robust support structure, are key to starting a journey to a successful and sustainable business. It is immensely exciting to help entrepreneurs with such promise meet their full potential. This year's cohort was stronger than we have ever had before and the judges have no doubt that all three finalists will go on to have fruitful enterprises in the future. Indeed, Nick was a finalist last year and shows that with a good idea, hard work and persistence, success naturally follows." Nick Schweitzer, founder of Klydo said: "Having quit my job and already been through one previous iteration of Klydo, it's fantastic to receive this validation of our technology and idea. At the moment we are working with creative and innovation consultancies, but as a technology platform we can rapidly scale and the potential to open this up to many markets – financial services, FMCG – is vast. As winners of the JC Gammon Award, our membership of the Enterprise Hub gives us the mentorship and the expertise to achieve this scale, as well as a vital financial boost going into future funding rounds." The finalists for the Launchpad Competition were: Nick Schweitzer, 25, Klydo – uncovering future ideas (winner of the Launchpad Competition) Up to 90% of attempted innovation in business fails. Nick aims to change this by creating a web tracking and machine learning technology that offers novel solutions to business problems, using the internet as its source of inspiration. It identifies what the future of an industry should be, helping business innovation succeed where it currently fails. The current methods used by these agencies to identify client problems and solutions – ranging from desk research to face-to-face interviews – are often slow and, if carried out incorrectly, prone to error. Nick's technology brings creative intelligence to bear on these processes, establishing a new way to bring about positive change through the recombination of existing business intelligence and best practice. Brittany Harris, 25, Qualis Flow – environmental risk management through digital innovation (winner of the People's Choice Award) We need to develop our infrastructure to keep up with modern demands and challenges; always building new roads, homes, and railways. But construction has a significant impact on the local environment. Noise and air quality are major concerns for local residents, and impacts on water and natural resources are gaining greater attention. According to research, most rivers, lakes and groundwater in England will not meet legally binding EU water pollution targets by 2021. Engineer Brittany Harris has developed Qualis Flow to allow the construction industry to automatically identify areas of environmental risk by using live monitoring and feedback techniques. Her combination of remote sensing technology and data visualisation platform enables users to manage their resources more sustainably, reducing costs and helping organisations to become innovators in protecting the environment for the benefit of wider society. Jack Pearson, 25, EngX – automating complex manufacturing Complex electromechanical products, such as robotics, are extremely difficult to assemble and wire, meaning production cannot be automated with current technology; manufacturers must rely on slow, costly and error prone hand labour. For custom products, these problems are compounded. To solve this problem, Jack and his team have created a hybrid production process that automates 3D printing, assembly and wiring of these products, all within one machine and from a digital file. It is the first machine to ever do this, opening the door for companies to create products that were previously impossible through automated production.

If we could only have one fly, this would be it. The Naughty Leprechaun has accounted for countless 20#+ Kings along with thousands of Coho, Lakers and Rainbows.
This is the most popular and productive fly we tie and can be used for everything in the lake all season long. The Naughty Leprechaun will work behind any flasher, but White and Chrome are generally best. The Naughty Leprechaun is extremely versatile and is just as good on the surface as it is 100Ft down. A "must have" for any Great Lakes fisherman.
Each Poseidon fly comes tournament-rigged, including an Owner 2X Strong Size #2 treble hook in the tail and a razor sharp 4/0 Owner Needle Point Octopus hook snelled on the front. All leaders are tied with 50# Suffix Superior. And as always, Poseidon Flies are hand-tied and whip-finished for a durability that can't be beat.

It's a sunny fall day in October 2018, and Ohio couple Karalyn and Justin Henry are about to tie the knot. And as you would expect, the bride and groom – who have been together since high school – are excited to finally say "I do" in front of friends and family. But as the guests witness the pair exchange their vows, the happy couple are elated for yet another reason.
You see, one of those watching is Lana Douglas, who has come all the way from Northern Ireland to be a bridesmaid. And although she and the bride have shared a lot online, this is the first time they have met face to face. It turns out to be quite some coming together, too.

By Richard O'Reilly
Two workshops will be hosted by Derry City and Strabane District Council this week, providing the opportunity to reminisce about one of the most important eras in the city's history, when the shirt factories were the thriving hubs of social and economic activity here.
The Tower Museum will be holding the Shirt Factory Reminiscence events for local groups as part of Dementia Awareness Week, taking place on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th May from 9.30am – 12.30pm.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Alderman Hilary McClintock, said it would be a great opportunity to relive memories of the shirt factory days. "I think this is a fantastic way for older people to revisit what were challenging but also very happy times for people living and working in the city. The shirt factories were so much more than just places of work, they were vibrant communities where women not only supported their families, but also established life-long friendships.
"The workshops will offer the chance to reconnect with the era and reignite memories using the wonderful museum collections and listen to stories, view the Museum's loan box and sit back and enjoy a cup of tea while listening to old stories of the era. I would really encourage local groups to come along."
Assistant Education and Access Officer with the Tower Museum, Betty Doherty, said: "The shirt factories had such a huge impact on the social heritage and community development of the city. We have a fantastic collection of machines, shirts, bobbins, photographs and all sorts of fantastic bits and pieces that will get people talking.
"We would encourage interested groups to get in touch for the morning sessions and on Friday afternoon we invite the general public to come in and learn more about the factories, and we would love former workers to come in and share their stories."

New Jersey Water Science Center
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Summary of Annual Hydrologic Conditions - 2000
Volume 1: Surface Water
Precipitation and Reservoir Contents
Hydrologically, water year 2000 was a relatively uneventful year for most of New Jersey, especially when compared to the droughts and flooding that occurred during the previous year. Monthly precipitation (spatially weighted average throughout New Jersey) was above normal for October, below normal for November through February, much above normal for March, below normal for April and May, then above normal June through September when compared to normal monthly precipitation from 1961-90. Statewide, total average precipitation was approximately 1 inch above normal for water year 2000 and approximately 2 inches more than that recorded the previous year. The winter months were the 24th driest and the 21st warmest of the 106 years of monthly precipitation and monthly mean temperatures recorded for New Jersey. Snow covered parts of northern and central New Jersey from January 13 to February 22. (David Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist, Rutgers University, oral commun., 2001). Rainfall was well distributed throughout the summer months (about 1 inch above normal for June through September) with one exception, an unusual thunderstorm that stalled over northwestern New Jersey from August 11-14.
The August 11-14 storm produced various intensities of rainfall in areas of northwestern New Jersey. Rainfall totals were highest in southeastern Sussex County and northwestern sections of Morris County. The heaviest rain fell during a 6-hour period on August 12. During August 11-14, privately owned rain gages in Jefferson Township and on Sparta Mountain (Sussex and Morris Counties, respectively) recorded 18.65 inches and 14.11 inches, respectively. The rain gages are operated by Sussex County Weather Network, LLC. Rain gages within a 10-mile radius of Sparta Township recorded the most rainfall in the State. In some locations, record flooding resulted. Four dams failed completely, and 26 others were damaged. Some bridges were washed away and more than 100 rescues were made.
Three National Weather Service (NWS) precipitation stations in Newark, Trenton, and Atlantic City have been selected as index sites for precipitation. During water year 2000, precipitation totals were above normal at the Newark and Atlantic City NWS index stations and below normal at the Trenton NWS index station. The Newark station recorded 44.63 inches, which is 102 percent of the 30-year reference-period (1961-90) mean. The Atlantic City station recorded 47.63 inches, which is 118 percent of the 30-year mean. The Trenton station recorded 36.41 inches, which is 83.2 percent of the 30-year mean. Monthly precipitation at the three NWS stations, along with the 30-year mean is shown in figure 1.
Monthly mean temperatures were below normal for October, above normal for November through June, and below normal for July through September when compared to New Jersey mean monthly temperatures for 1961-90. The July 2000 monthly mean temperature equaled the coolest mean temperature in 106 years of record, which occurred in July 1914.
Combined usable contents of the 13 major water-supply reservoirs in New Jersey were 64.7 billion gallons at the end of September 1999, which is 123 percent of the 30-year mean (normal) contents for the end of September and 80.5 percent of capacity. Reservoirs were replenished as a result of the heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Floyd on September 15-17, 1999, and thus recovered from a deficit due to drought conditions. Combined usable contents increased to a maximum of 80.4 billion gallons by the end of March 2000, which is 115 percent of normal contents for the end of March and 100 percent of capacity. Reservoir levels declined during the summer because of an increased demand for water supplies. By September 30, 2000, combined usable contents totaled 69.9 billion gallons, which is 132 percent of normal contents for the end of September and 86.9 percent of capacity (fig. 2). The term 'usable contents' is used here as a measure of the total volume of water that can be removed from a reservoir without pumping, and does not account for the volume of water below the bottom of the lowest outlet or pipe (sometimes referred to as dead storage).
Three gaging stations, located in north, south, and central New Jersey, are considered index stations for statewide streamflow conditions. Streamflow at the index station in northern New Jersey (South Branch Raritan River near High Bridge) averaged 112 ft3/s for the water year, which is 91.1 percent of the 1919-2000 average. Streamflow at the index station in southern New Jersey (Great Egg Harbor River at Folsom) averaged 73.8 ft3/s, which is 86.2 percent of the 1926-2000 average. The observed annual mean discharge for the Delaware River at Trenton was 12,340 ft3/s, which is 106 percent of the 1913-2000 average. The Delaware River is highly regulated by reservoirs and diversions. Monthly mean discharge at each of these index gaging stations during the current water year and the long-term normal monthly discharge are shown in figure 3. Annual mean discharge at each of these index gaging stations and the mean annual discharge for the period of record are shown in figure 4.
Annual mean discharges at 46 gaging stations that had 40 years or more of continuous records and mean annual discharge for the period of record at each gaging station are shown in table 1. The difference is listed as percent difference. Discharge at 36 of the 46 gaging stations was below normal for water year 2000. Eight of the ten gaging stations with above-normal flow recorded flow that was less than 10 percent above normal. Several gaging stations that monitor heavily regulated rivers were not included in this comparison because of large artificial deficits related to regulation. The criterion of assessing gaging stations with 40 years or more of record was used in order to encompass at least one of the 30-year drought cycles that New Jersey has experienced.
The first notable flooding of water year 2000 was in Gloucester and Salem Counties and was the result of nearly 5 inches of rain that fell on March 21. Monmouth County experienced flooding after approximately 5 inches of rain fell on July 26. Areas of Atlantic County flooded on August 4 after an intensive rainfall. The most notable flooding for water year 2000 occurred in Sussex and Morris Counties on August 11-14.
Floods occurred after thunderstorms deposited as much as 18 inches of rain on areas of northwestern New Jersey during August 11-14. The heaviest rainfall was at the headwaters of the Wallkill, Musconetcong, and Rockaway River basins. Flood peaks at gaging stations on Lake Hopatcong, Musconetcong River, Green Pond Brook, Rockaway River and Russia Brook tributary were the highest ever recorded (table 2). Table 2 includes peak flow and stage at 14 gaging stations in northern New Jersey that experienced greater than a 2-year flood event during the period August 12-15. The gaging stations with peaks of record are in close proximity because the rainfall was localized. The peak flow attenuated downstream from these gaging stations, thus the recurrence intervals were low.
Following the storms in Sussex and Morris Counties, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Dam Safety Section, inspected more than 50 dams. They found complete failure at 4 dams (Seneca Lake Dam, Tomahawk Dam, Furnace Dam, and Edison Dam, all in Sussex County) and damage to another 26 dams throughout Sussex and Morris Counties (NJDEP, 2000, http://www.state.nj.us/dep/nhr/engineering/damsafety/).

Survey says ERP budgets are tight
A new Forrester Research study says that only one-third of SAP customers plan to increase their SAP budgets next year. But even fewer Oracle and PeopleSoft customers will increase spending on those vendors.
According to Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research, 34% of SAP clients who responded to a recent survey will increase their spending with the vendor during the next 12 months, while over 65% said spending would remain the same or decrease.
Forrester surveyed 354 enterprise-application decision makers at North American companies. The research brief, "What Matters to Enterprise Apps Buyers?", was released by Forrester last month.
The results of the survey are representative of a still-dreary economy and a saturated tier-one ERP market, which is drying up for large vendors like SAP, according to Byron Miller, an ERP analyst with Forrester.
However, SAP is doing a good job of positioning itself as a haven for companies dealing with the uncertainty caused by recent market consolidation, Miller said. In the same Forrester survey, only 19% of PeopleSoft clients and 12% of Oracle applications clients said they expect to increase spending on new software.
The survey also showed that, while 65% of SAP clients will spend the same or decrease spending with the company over the next 12 months, 79% of PeopleSoft clients and 89% of Oracle applications clients will hold the line on new spending or decrease spending.
"All the signs in the economy at the moment are very positive, but we're not far enough along for along for a company to gauge how to spend on new ERP technology," Miller said.
Those firms increasing spending with SAP are 1.4 times more likely than clients of other vendors to be in the midmarket, Miller said. Forrester defines a midmarket firm as one whose revenue is greater than $500 million and less than $1 billion.
Miller predicted that midmarket companies that plan to upgrade with SAP will eventually embrace the company's NetWeaver technology. NetWeaver is SAP's first fully interoperable Web-based, cross-application platform that can be used to develop not only SAP applications but others as well.
"Moving forward, SAP users are realizing that if they're sticking with SAP, they're eventually going to have to move to a Web-application server architecture," Miller said. "More and more of NetWeaver is going to be in that picture."

Public Affairs – A Global Perspective
This excellent book clearly demonstrates that public affairs is now a global industry. It highlights the similarities - and the differences - in the way in which lobbying is practiced in different markets worldwide. If, as Tip O'Neill famously said, all politics is local, perhaps we can now say that all lobbying is global.
(Francis Ingham, Director General, PRCA)
About Public Affairs – A Global Perspective
In our highly politicized world, public affairs plays a more important role than ever not just in how each nation functions and internally but how it is presented and interacts on the global stage. With an extensive introduction to lobbying and public affairs in individual countries, this book covers the main changes in recent years including the regulatory environment; nature of the sector/main players, consultants vs in-house; key challenges for the sector; issues of political importance; key practices, main avenues of political engagement (institutional) and methods (briefings, meetings, media) as well as providing compelling conclusions on the likely changes and future direction of public affairs.

- goods and service procurement: Victorian Government Purchasing Board
- health-related goods and services procurement: Health Purchasing Victoria
- ICT procurement: Department of Premier and Cabinet
- jobs and industry development: Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions
Victorian Government Purchasing Board
The VGPB sets the policies that govern procurement of non-construction goods and services across all Victorian government department and some specified entities.
When purchasing goods or services, buyers must comply with the relevant procurement policies of their lead organisation. This may include applicable broader government policies and Australian Standards where relevant, including but not limited to any supplier charters or codes of conduct.
Read more about the Victorian Government Purchasing Board
Health Purchasing Victoria (HPV)
HPV looks after procurement of health-related goods and services, including equipment.
HPV works with the health sector to reduce costs through strategic procurement.
HPV is responsible to the Minister for Health and works with the DHHS. The aim is to provide healthcare that is:
- safe
- affordable
- sustainable
Work with hospitals
Working with public hospitals and health services, HPV:
- facilitates tenders
- manages contracts
- identifies opportunities for collective procurement
- improves procurement capability
- provides procurement training
Legislative functions
HPV has key legislative functions under the Health Services Act 1988 to:
- supply or help supply of goods and services
- give advice and support
- track compliance

- ensure probity is maintained in the purchasing, tendering and contracting of public hospitals
Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions
The Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions drives economic development and job creation in Victoria. The focus is on programs and procurement policies for employment and industry development.
The Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions administers the Local Jobs First Act 2003. Local Jobs First includes:
- Major Projects Skills Guarantee (MPSG)
- Victorian Industry Participation Policy (VIPP)
Major Projects Skills Guarantee
The Major Project Skills Guarantee is about growing the next generation of skilled workers. It means construction projects over $20 million need to use Victorian:
- apprentices
- trainees
- engineering cadets
for at least 10% of the labour. This gives young people the chance to work on Victoria's biggest construction projects.
Victorian Industry Participation Policy
The Victorian Industry Participation Policy is an industry development procurement policy. It means local businesses have a fair chance to compete for government contracts. This helps local projects create opportunities for Victorian businesses.
The Victorian Industry Participation Policy applies to all projects valued at:
- over $1 million in regional Victoria

The Partnerships Victoria team in the Department of Treasury and Finance:
- advises the Treasurer on PPP policy
- connects private sector and government
- develops and publishes PPP guidelines
- helps with the tendering process and managing long-term contracts
Under the PPP model, the government contracts the private sector to:
- design
- build
- finance
- maintain
- provide services
This is different to privatisation. The PPP asset goes back to the government at the end of the contract.
PPPs always have a private finance element. PPP contracts have a clear and enforceable risk allocation.

- construction policy and procurement best practice
They also:
- look at how other Government policies might impact construction procurement
- share information to improve construction policy and procurement
High Value High Risk Framework (HVHR)
The HVHR Framework is the responsibility of the DTF. This framework covers infrastructure and ICT projects identified as high value or high risk. These projects need more scrutiny, approval processes and ongoing involvement by DTF.
A project will be HVHR if it is:
- considered high risk using DTF's risk assessment tool, the Project Profile Model (PPM)
- considered medium risk using the PPM and has a TEI of between $100 million and $250 million
- considered low risk using the PPM but has a TEI over $250 million

- referred bid contracts before they are signed
- any major variations
Read more about the High Value High Risk

Join our Teen Advisory Corps for an author talk with debut author (and former Montanan) Justin Olson about his new book for teens Earth to Charlie. Justin Olson was a high school English and theatre teacher from Montana who has since moved to Los Angeles where he now works as an independent film and TV producer. Earth to Charlie follows A high school outcast who spends his life hoping to be abducted by aliens in this funny, quirky novel about finding your footing in a world that sometimes feels like Mars.
More About Earth to Charlie:
Convinced his mother has been abducted by aliens, Charlie Dickens spends his nights with an eye out for UFOs, hoping to join her. After all, she said the aliens would come back for him. Charlie will admit that he doesn't have many reasons to stick around; he doesn't get along well with his father, he's constantly bullied at school and at work, and the only friend he has is his 600-pound neighbor Geoffrey, and Geoffrey's three-legged dog, Tickles.Then Charlie meets popular, easy-going Seth, who shows him what real friendship is all about. For once, he finds himself looking around at the life he's built, rather than looking up. But sooner than he expected, Charlie has to make a decision: should he stay or should he go?

Just came back from my first overseas trip to Ho Chi Minh City! So it's time for my quick hotel review about Authentic Vietnam 5-stars Hotel that I've stayed – Grand Hotel Saigon.
Grand Hotel Saigon is one of the oldest hotels in Ho Chi Minh City since 1930, with the hotel being restored in 1997. It's located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, within District 1, which means getting around the city centre is easy and convenient. For example, the hotel is 10 – 15 minutes walking distance to Saigon Skydeck, Saigon Centre, Ben Thanh Market etc.
Grand Hotel Saigon has one of the most impressive traditional French facades in Ho Chi Minh City, where signs of the French architectural can be seen. The hotel has 2 wings – the original old Ancient Wing and the newer Luxury Wing. There's a total of 251 rooms and suites within the hotel. From the rooms in Luxury Wing, be amazed by the fabulous view of either Saigon River (river view) or Bitexco Financial Tower (city view). Those who love to enjoy touches of history should pay a bit more and book a room/suite in the Ancient Wing.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I was welcomed and greeted by the friendly staffs who proceed to help me with check-in. I've been checked into the 12th floor of Luxury Wing's Premium Deluxe room (with a room size of 32-meter square).
The view from the room was not bad, the room was clean with a little touch of history remains on its furnishing. The bed was comfy and big! One big plus about staying in Grand Hotel Saigon is that you will receive fresh fruits service daily for free! You will also be entitled to 2 complimentary small bottles of water. The toilet was not bad, with a bathtub on one side and a rain shower on the other.
A few bad points I felt could be improved on was that the hotel corridor lightings were rather dim and not sure why but there are cigarettes smell every morning along the corridor. (Not sure whether is the hotel a non-smoking hotel, to be honest.)
I've got free buffet breakfast bundled with my stay. Breakfast was served on the second floor of the hotel. There was a table full of bread, cooked dishes, fruits, drinks and a counter that prepare eggs and local Vietnamese breakfast (including Pho, Rice Vermicelli etc). Overall, I felt that the breakfast was not very special, guess it was just alright, no much complains!
Grand Saigon Hotel has several amenities including Fitness Centre, Swimming Pool, Hair Salon, Spa & Massage Centre, Casino and some dining options (including a rooftop eating area/bar). Hotel guests will be entitled to 10% off on food when you dine in any of the restaurants within the hotel.
Checking-out was also smooth, and the hotel has prepared a complimentary limousine service to get me to Tan Son Nhat International Airport for my flight back to Singapore. It's really nice for the hotel to arrange that for me! Overall, I felt that the hotel was alright, no many surprises. But the location of the hotel was really good, it's walking distance to a lot of the attractions within District 1. Hotel staffs are friendly and are good at English.

Alexander Khokhlov goes by the nickname Guilty Killa, but the only thing he should feel guilty about is subjecting his body to these ridiculous ass workouts on a daily basis.
The personal trainer and Moscow Patriots wide receiver has been hitting the gym since he was 16 and has taken to posting videos of crazy workout stunts that no one should be able to pull off, like doing ring pushups with a tire on his back or holding 210 pounds worth of weight in one hand while pushing himself off the ground.
We get it dude, you lift.
Ol' Guilty Killa must be chasing his vodka with massive amounts of creatine or something, because this is not something a normal human does in the weight room.

Fundamental Doctrine of the Trinity as instituted by Roman Catholic Authority, and endorsed by Protestant and Pentecostal Christianity.
Extract from the New Schaff Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge Vol. XI page 202, quoting from The Guardian, London, 10/11/1909 which gave a revised translation of the Athanasian Creed, made at the request of the Archbishop of Canterbury pursuant to a resolution of the Lambeth Conference of 1908.
3. Now the Catholic Faith is this: that we worship the one God as a Trinity; and the Trinity as an Unity.
4. Neither confusing the Persons, nor dividing the Substance.
5. For there is a Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Ghost.
6. But the Godhead of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Ghost is one, their glory equal, their majesty co-etemal.
7. Such as the Father is, such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost.
8. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Ghost uncreated.
9. The Father infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Ghost infinite.
IO. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Ghost eternal.
11. And yet they are not three Eternals, but one Eternal.
12. As also they are not three uncreateds, nor three infinites, but one infinite and one uncreated.
13. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Alniighty, the Holy Ghost Almighty.
14. And yet they are not three Almighties, but one Almighty.
15. So the Father is God, the Son God, the Holy Ghost God.
16. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.
17. So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, the Holy Ghost Lord.
18. And yet they are not three Lords, but one Lord.
19. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to confess each of the Persons by Himself to be both God and I,ord
20. So are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to speak of three Gods, or three Lords. .
21. The Father is of none, not made nor crgated nor begotten,
22. The Son is of the Father alone, not made nor created but begotten,
23. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and the Son, not made, nor created nor begotten but proceeding.
24. There is therefore one Father, not three Fathers, one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
25. And in the Trinity none is before or after, none is greater or less
26. But all three Persons are co-eternal one with another and co-equal
27. So that in all ways, as is aforesaid, both the Trinity is to be worshipped is an Unity, and the Unity as a Trinity.
28. Let him therefore that would be saved think thus of the Trinity.

Hypothyroidism is one concern that many people have as they explore the possibility of beginning a Ketogenic diet. "Does Keto cause hypothyroidism?" is a common Google search associated with this diet, but rest assured that your fears surrounding this subject are unfounded. Many people think that a diet low in carbohydrates causes the thyroid to slow down, but it's actually a diet low in calories that is the culprit behind this medical concern.
When you start cutting calories, your body might run on fat but the thyroid can become slow when you're nutritionally deprived. Too few calories means too few nutrients, thus resulting in diminished thyroid activity.
On the Ketogenic diet, your hunger levels will go down as long as you remain diligent about staying on your diet plan. This diet does not entail eating very frequently, meaning that you need to eat the right combination of healthful and sustaining foods. Some people already deal with hypothyroidism prior to beginning Keto, and further issues can be addressed by introducing sea kelp, iodine selenium, and additional nutrients to your diet.
It is worth stating that if you already deal with hypothyroidism, a ketogenic diet may not be for you. Hormones produced by the thyroid regulate carbohydrate and other energy source metabolism, so if your thyroid is already struggling and causing your weight gain, you might experience some struggle on keto. In fact, a Ketogenic diet could potentially make your condition worse. If you struggle against hypothyroidism, consult your physician before going onto any low-carbohydrate diet plan.
If the Ketogenic Diet Doesn't Cause Hypothyroidism, What Does?
There are numerous causes of hypothyroidism:
- Excessive levels of estrogen
- Pregnancy
- Problems within the liver
- Problems within the gallbladder
The pituitary gland makes thyroid stimulating hormones within your brain. The hormones are then sent to the thyroid, essentially acting as a messenger to tell the thyroid to produce hormones of its own. When there is too high of a presence of thyroid stimulating hormones from the pituitary gland, this indicates low thyroid activity.
This works similarly to insulin. Insulin levels can become high when receptors resist the presence of insulin. When the receptors responsible for thyroid hormones become resistant, thyroid hormone levels spike.
One common culprit behind blocking thyroid activity is glycophosphate, a chemical and herbicidal agent that effects the thyroid like estrogen does. It also effects the liver's ability to filter out toxins. Sometimes, this chemical is also behind the development of autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's.
A Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting will streamline your system, making your body use its fuel more efficiently. This reduces the demand for thyroid hormones. Many dieters experience their hormone levels drop from the high-normal range to the low-normal range. This is fine, healthy and expected because the thyroid hormones are not as needed in the process of metabolism.
You should increase your intake of cruciferous vegetables, as they are vital in helping the liver to detoxify the body. Sea kelp and iodine from a natural source is helpful in improving the efficiency of the thyroid and liver, as is selenium. Organic foods that are free of glycophosphate are likely to become a staple of your Ketogenic diet.

Looking for an alternative Father's Day gift this year? Book Dad in for a consultation at Active Health for £20 this Fathers Day. Our blog this week will discuss how chiropractic may benefit sportsmen, and golfers in particular.
Healthy living and chiropractic treatment go hand-in-hand, and with the warmer weather approaching, many of us are making the effort to exercise, taking to the great outdoors to perhaps enjoy a spot of golf. Here at the clinic, we treat many patients with sports and golf-related injuries – both new patients and those returning for ongoing treatment to keep their health in great shape.
We asked Shaun, one of our current patients, about his experience of chiropractic.
Shaun Manning, Manager at Petersfield Golf Club, says:
"As manager of a busy golf club, I spend a lot of time both at my desk and playing on the course.
I required immediate treatment due to severe back pain, and Peter Coote, Chiropractor at Active Health, carried out a full medical consultation, took a digital X-Ray, diagnosed the problem straight away and adjusted my spine – the relief was immediate and the results long-lasting.
Chiropractic does not rely on prescription drugs, which meant that I was able to get back to my desk, and the course, straight away without fear of drowsiness or side-effects that pain relief drugs can cause.
I would recommend Active Health to all within the golf community – both players and their families. The best sportsmen and women ensure their physical health is in top condition, and this is where I believe chiropractic treatment can help, by allowing the body to align and function perfectly, which can enhance technique.
With golf, it's the subtle differences that can make the difference between a good and a great player – if you're able to improve your physical health which in turn improves your swing, that can be a game-changer."
Golf is a sport that can, on occasion, aggravate old injuries. Like any sport, the body can become strained from repetitive injury, for example from carrying clubs incorrectly. Please see our golf tips here.
With the body perfectly aligned and in optimum physical health, you will be free to enjoy the sports of your choice. If you want to improve your physical health, are suffering from an older or very severe injury, or just want to speak to us to find out more, do get in touch. We look forward to receiving new patients at the special rate of £20.

River Spree
The River Spree that runs through Berlin is very popular and impressive. Take a boat tour to experience some of the city's most impressive architecture, from the so-called museum island, to the Reichstag. The view of the city from the water is unlike any other, and is a guaranteed way to spend an unforgettable day in Berlin.
Berlin has two large rivers- Spree and Havel- as well as lots of lakes and canals where ships and riverboats cruise. The Spree river flows in arches through the center of Berlin, south of it runs the Landwehr canal. Therefore, all boat tours through the inner city follow the same route over the Spree river and the Landwehr canal, only length and duration of the boat tours vary, depending on start and finish points.
Several shipping companies offer riverboat tours, prices and schedules vary depending on the length of the route, services and extras. Each company has its own piers.
Follow this link to a page with a list of the most popular boat tours, tickets can be easily bought online.

Where did the dirt go?
Posted by Rick Gelinas on 7/20/2012 to Commercial Carpet Cleaning
A customer recently asked...
"When using the Cimex why is it that the carpet appears to look cleaner without actually removing the soil. I tried asking this question on one of the boards but no one can answer this question. I understand the process of encapsulation just now how it changes the appearance before the encapsulation takes place."
Here is the answer that I gave him...
It's a trick we do with smoke and mirrors. (just kidding)
To put it very simply... What we see as we look at the carpet is a reflection of light; thats what reaches our eyes. Our eyes perceive what's on the surface of the carpet fiber. But keep in mind, carpet fiber is made up of thousands of tiny fibers. In addition to all that carpet fiber, theres also a lot of space surrounding the individual carpet fibers.
What we're accomplishing through encap shampooing is to displace the soil from the visible surface of the fiber. The soil that's been scrubbed free from the fiber is now held in suspension in the encap solution. Since that fluid is surrounding the fibers, the majority of the soil that had formerly been on the visible surface of the fiber is greatly reduced. So at the point that the carpet is scrubbed, the appearance immediately looks clean. Of course all of the soil that was originally in the carpet is still there, waiting to be extracted from the carpet during the post-vacuuming process.
Realistically we can expect to see a pretty major improvement in the overall appearance of the carpet right off the bat, immediately after its been scrubbed, and before it gets vacuumed. So no, its not actually a trick we do with smoke and mirrors, but sometimes the results sure do look that way.

You say the dirt is left in the carpet,have you looked at the pads when you have finished a room,they pick up a lot of dirt.If you run over the carpet with cotton pads after you have cleaned it you will find they too will pickup a lot of dirt too.So all the dirt is not left in the carpet to be vacuumed out.Sorry to have to disagree with you,as i know you are the man.

I appreciate your comments, and i agree with what youve observed. It's true that some of the soil can be captured in the pads. Especially when the solution is being sprayed down on the carpet, a modest amount of soil will transfer into the pad(s). Yet when the detergent is being shower-fed through the pads (as is normally the case with the Cimex) the pads will have the detergent flowing through them during the cleaning process - and in essence they'll be rinsed during the cleaning.

Rick Gelinas
And as you rightly mentioned, if you run over the carpet with absorbent pads following the cleaning additional soil can be recovered. In fact any form of bonnet cleaning has the potential to pick up soil. And if you're bonnet cleaning with a good encap detergent we're actually combining two cleaning modes - absorption and encapsulation of soil. Thanks again for your comments. It's always nice to go a little deeper. :-)

Dear Kay,
I can burn a morning daydreaming about workshops. It's just not that hard to dive into a list of classes for some divine workshop and flat-out lose myself for a while. I have been known to cook up an entire curriculum for myself at some remote workshop an improbable distance away.
In particular, I attend Shakerag Workshops all the time, despite the fact that it actually happens for only two weeks each June.
Where does this magical land of peace, love, and losing touch with reality happen?
About ninety miles from Nashville, outside Sewanee, Tennessee, on the campus of St. Andrews Sewanee School.
The director of Shakerag, Claire Reishman, is known to climb onto a table during (organic) (always delicious) dinner.
By the end of a week-long workshop with somebody like Beatrice Coron, you'll do anything, wear anything, love everybody, forget what day it is.
Having been lucky to attend twice, I pore through upcoming offerings, imagining myself doing all sorts of unlikely yet absorbing things. This year, I quote below from the email I just received about this June's workshops. If you have any inclination to treat yourself to a week of quiet joy amid like-minded makers and artists, well, read on. Among the dozen or more workshops, the fiber workshops this year are particularly choice.
June 12-18, 2016
June 12-18, 2016
June 19-25, 2016
June 19-25, 2016
To register for these and other Shakerag Workshops, here's the place. But remember, you don't have to actually attend Shakerag to enjoy Shakerag. Sometimes, an armchair workshop is pretty good stuff.
Do you have a workshop that you dream about?

The Blue Sky of Your Mind -
Have you ever looked up into the sky and said, "Wow, not a cloud in the sky."
You take a deep breath and may even feel gratitude. This is an apt metaphor for your mind. Imagine if you started every day with a fresh perspective, a cloud free beginning to each day. As the day passes clouds appear, thoughts, feelings, the emotions and happenings of life. On great days, the clouds that appear are beautiful, picturesque and moving slowly through the sky posing no threats.
We know every day doesn't bring a bright blue sky – some are overcast, rainy, dark, or filled with falling snow. Especially in winter, the days are shorter and the season seems to last forever.
The dark clouds and stormy weather (our emotions) get the best of us and leave us feeling sad and gloomy, angry, annoyed, disgusted and maybe even lonely. We allow those negative thoughts and emotions to affect how we act at work and at home.
Keep in mind the blue sky is always present. Storms pass and blue sky appears again. Once you realize there is always a choice whether you focus on the blue sky or the storms, you can properly deploy your energy, focus, attention and resources. The choice is yours.
