Small Tales & True.
(Comedy; 6 x 30 mins)
Here's one from the vault. Written by Robyn Butler, Roz Hammond, Bob Franklin and Matt Cameron, Small Tales & True is a mockumentary series made for the Comedy Channel in 1998. We'd like to think we were trailblazers as we made this before mockumentary was de rigueur. And, yes, we did meet on this show, playing husband and wife. The on screen marriage went well so we decided to try it out in real life. It's been very similar to the shoot, right down to the catering truck parked out the front of our house (deal breaker for Robyn).
- "Think The Castle meets Spinal Tap. Think Australian humour at its softly cynical best. It's this cynicism, often wrenchingly dark, that gives these shows their moments of brilliance." — Sydney Morning Herald
- "Each faux documentary episode is a thoughtful, often dark glimpse into the lives of ordinary people and the laughs come from not jokes or slapstick, but from a recognition of the minutiae of everyday life." — The Age
- "...the series being praised by anyone lucky enough to get an advanced copy." — Fiona Scott-Norman, The Age
- "They are cleverly written, smartly acted snapshots of Australian life. Watching them back-to-back, you see how good the actors really are. They transform themselves from tale to tale: in one episode, Butler is a frumpy Christian with bad hair and the next moment she's a bored, rich housewife who's convinced her husband is having an affair. In both roles she is absolutely believable." — Cerentha Harris, Sydney Morning Herald
- "...'Creatures of Habit' is a priceless yarn about tolerance, personal freedom and the conformist cage of society - it's as black as it is pink." — Lisa Mitchell, The Age
- Written by Robyn Butler, Matt Cameron, Roz Hammond, Bob Franklin and Kevin Carlin
- Directed by Matt Cameron
- Featuring Robyn Butler, Bob Franklin, Roz Hammond, Stephen Curry, Sophie Lee, Colin Lane, Wayne Hope and Genevieve Morris
- Also standout performances from Monica Maughan and Frank Gallacher. Brilliant comic actors, sadly missed.

Residents in the West Coast have been awarded for boosting food security in the province.
Alan Winde, Minister of Economic Opportunities, today (12 December 2016) announced the winners of a competition seeking to honour residents for their food gardens in Pella, Mamre and Atlantis.
An initiative of the Western Cape Department of Agriculture, the food garden competition aims to encourage residents to produce their own food, with a particular focus on rural areas. First launched in 2011, 68 food gardens entered the competition this year.
Minister Winde commended the winners for taking a proactive approach to improving food security in their households and communities.
"The winners of this competition are leading the way in sustainable food production. Through their food gardens, they are feeding their families and their communities. The community gardens also play an important role in job creation in the community.
"We take food security seriously. Over the last three financial years, we have invested over R1.8 million into food security initiatives in this region. Our support ranged from household garden starter kits to projects at local schools. We are pleased to have committed partners in the promotion of food security in the West Coast. You are our food security champions. I would like to congratulate you and I encourage residents across the province to follow your example."
Minister Winde said innovative resource management was critical in sustainable food production.
"We've experienced the worst drought since 1904, and this has impacted our agriculture sector. Trends show rainfall will continue to decrease and this calls for a smart approach to how we produce food. The Western Cape Department of Agriculture has partnered with the National Department of Water and Sanitation to set up water tanks so gardeners are able to collect roof water. There are several other measures residents can take to maintain food gardens during water-scarce periods."
Minister Winde added that the Department of Agriculture was also piloting the use of the hydroponic SMART garden concept, which resulted in 70% water savings.
This system consists of a water tank which contains diluted fertilizer. A solar pump pumps the water and fertilizer onto the crop, which grows in cocopeat. Cocopeat is a growing medium with high water retention. Plants receive enough water and fertilizer and the excess drains back into the tank for re-use. These plants tend to grow faster and deliver higher yields and no water is lost.
Please see below the following tips for maintaining food gardens:
- Raised bed container organic gardens save about 40% on the use of water
With this system the ideal soil/compost mixture is placed in a container. With no one walking on the crop, the soil is not compacted. This ideal system allows the micro-organisms and earth worms to thrive in the soil. A good structured and fertile soil like this, is able to contain more water. There is no water loss through the profile and no run-off occurs;
- The use of Vermiculite to improve the water holding capacity of soils
Vermiculite is a type of clay that is able to absorb moisture from its surroundings. When you mix this clay with your soil, it improves the water holding capacity of soils;
- The Western Cape Department of Agriculture is also implementing drip irrigation systems, which is the most efficient irrigation method and also uses less water. When you apply water to crops through a drip irrigation system, as opposed to a flood or sprinkler system, the water is only applied to the roots of the plants. In this way no water is applied to soil where no crops are planted and no water is lost through evaporation and run-off.
Please see the full list of winners attached.

Techniques for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging make it possible to capture and store an increased range of luminances and colors as compared to what can be achieved with a conventional camera. This high amount of image information can be used in a wide range of applications, such as HDR displays, image-based lighting, tone-mapping, computer vision, and post-processing operations. HDR imaging has been an important concept in research and development for many years. Within the last couple of years it has also reached the consumer market, e.g. with TV displays that are capable of reproducing an increased dynamic range and peak luminance.
This thesis presents a set of technical contributions within the field of HDR imaging. First, the area of HDR video tone-mapping is thoroughly reviewed, evaluated and developed upon. A subjective comparison experiment of existing methods is performed, followed by the development of novel techniques that overcome many of the problems evidenced by the evaluation. Second, a largescale objective comparison is presented, which evaluates existing techniques that are involved in HDR video distribution. From the results, a first open-source HDR video codec solution, Luma HDRv, is built using the best performing techniques. Third, a machine learning method is proposed for the purpose of reconstructing an HDR image from one single-exposure low dynamic range (LDR) image. The method is trained on a large set of HDR images, using recent advances in deep learning, and the results increase the quality and performance significantly as compared to existing algorithms.
The areas for which contributions are presented can be closely inter-linked in the HDR imaging pipeline. Here, the thesis work helps in promoting efficient and high-quality HDR video distribution and display, as well as robust HDR image reconstruction from a single conventional LDR image.
Tone-mapping constitutes a key component within the field of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. Its importance is manifested in the vast amount of tone-mapping methods that can be found in the literature, which are the result of an active development in the area for more than two decades. Although these can accommodate most requirements for display of HDR images, new challenges arose with the advent of HDR video, calling for additional considerations in the design of tone-mapping operators (TMOs). Today, a range of TMOs exist that do support video material. We are now reaching a point where most camera captured HDR videos can be prepared in high quality without visible artifacts, for the constraints of a standard display device. In this report, we set out to summarize and categorize the research in tone-mapping as of today, distilling the most important trends and characteristics of the tone reproduction pipeline. While this gives a wide overview over the area, we then specifically focus on tone-mapping of HDR video and the problems this medium entails. First, we formulate the major challenges a video TMO needs to address. Then, we provide a description and categorization of each of the existing video TMOs. Finally, by constructing a set of quantitative measures, we evaluate the performance of a number of the operators, in order to give a hint on which can be expected to render the least amount of artifacts. This serves as a comprehensive reference, categorization and comparative assessment of the state-of-the-art in tone-mapping for HDR video.

Eleven tone-mapping operators intended for video processing are analyzed and evaluated with camera-captured and computer-generated high-dynamic-range content. After optimizing the parameters of the operators in a formal experiment, we inspect and rate the artifacts (flickering, ghosting, temporal color consistency) and color rendition problems (brightness, contrast and color saturation) they produce. This allows us to identify major problems and challenges that video tone-mapping needs to address. Then, we compare the tone-mapping results in a pair-wise comparison experiment to identify the operators that, on average, can be expected to perform better than the others and to assess the magnitude of differences between the best performing operators.
Real-time high quality video tone mapping is needed for manyapplications, such as digital viewfinders in cameras, displayalgorithms which adapt to ambient light, in-camera processing,rendering engines for video games and video post-processing. We propose a viable solution for these applications by designing a videotone-mapping operator that controls the visibility of the noise,adapts to display and viewing environment, minimizes contrastdistortions, preserves or enhances image details, and can be run inreal-time on an incoming sequence without any preprocessing. To ourknowledge, no existing solution offers all these features. Our novelcontributions are: a fast procedure for computing local display-adaptivetone-curves which minimize contrast distortions, a fast method for detailenhancement free from ringing artifacts, and an integrated videotone-mapping solution combining all the above features.
While a number of existing high-bit depth video compression methods can potentially encode high dynamic range (HDR) video, few of them provide this capability. In this paper, we investigate techniques for adapting HDR video for this purpose. In a large-scale test on 33 HDR video sequences, we compare 2 video codecs, 4 luminance encoding techniques (transfer functions) and 3 color encoding methods, measuring quality in terms of two objective metrics, PU-MSSIM and HDR-VDP-2. From the results we design an open source HDR video encoder, optimized for the best compression performance given the techniques examined.
Camera sensors can only capture a limited range of luminance simultaneously, and in order to create high dynamic range (HDR) images a set of different exposures are typically combined. In this paper we address the problem of predicting information that have been lost in saturated image areas, in order to enable HDR reconstruction from a single exposure. We show that this problem is well-suited for deep learning algorithms, and propose a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that is specifically designed taking into account the challenges in predicting HDR values. To train the CNN we gather a large dataset of HDR images, which we augment by simulating sensor saturation for a range of cameras. To further boost robustness, we pre-train the CNN on a simulated HDR dataset created from a subset of the MIT Places database. We demonstrate that our approach can reconstruct high-resolution visually convincing HDR results in a wide range of situations, and that it generalizes well to reconstruction of images captured with arbitrary and low-end cameras that use unknown camera response functions and post-processing. Furthermore, we compare to existing methods for HDR expansion, and show high quality results also for image based lighting. Finally, we evaluate the results in a subjective experiment performed on an HDR display. This shows that the reconstructed HDR images are visually convincing, with large improvements as compared to existing methods.

Research in optical flow estimation has to a large extent focused on achieving the best possible quality with no regards to running time. Nevertheless, in a number of important applications the speed is crucial. To address this problem we present BriefMatch, a real-time optical flow method that is suitable for live applications. The method combines binary features with the search strategy from PatchMatch in order to efficiently find a dense correspondence field between images. We show that the BRIEF descriptor provides better candidates (less outlier-prone) in shorter time, when compared to direct pixel comparisons and the Census transform. This allows us to achieve high quality results from a simple filtering of the initially matched candidates. Currently, BriefMatch has the fastest running time on the Middlebury benchmark, while placing highest of all the methods that run in shorter than 0.5 seconds.
In this paper we present our developed bidirectional reflectance distribution capturing pipeline. It includes a constructed gonioreflectometer for reflectance measurements, as well as extensive software for operation, data visualization and parameter fitting of analytic models. Our focus is on the flexible user interface, aimed at material appearance creation for computer graphics, and targeted both for production and research employment.
Key challenges have been in providing a user friendly and effective software for functioning in a production environment, abstracting the details of the calculations involved in the reflectance capturing and fitting. We show how a combination of well-tuned tools can make complex processes such as reflectance calibration, measurement and fitting highly automated in a fast and easy work-flow, from material scanning to model parameters optimized for use in rendering. At the same time, the developed software provides a modifiable interface for detailed control. The importance of having good reflectance visualizations is also demonstrated, where the software plotting tools are able to show vital details of a reflectance distribution, giving valuable insight in to a materials properties and a models accuracy of fit to measured data, on both a local and global level.
Tone mapping of HDR-video is a challenging filtering problem. It is highly important to develop a framework for evaluation and comparison of tone mapping operators. This chapter gives an overview of different approaches for how evalation of tone mapping operators can be conducted, including experimental setups, choice of input data, choice of tone mapping operators, and the importance of parameter tweaking for fair comparisons. This chapter also gives examples of previous evaluations with a focus on the results from the most recent evaluation conducted by Eilertsen et. al [reference]. This results in a classification of the currently most commonly used tone mapping operators and overview of their performance and possible artifacts.
Extensive post processing plays a central role in modern video production pipelines. A problem in this context is that many filters and processing operators are very sensitive to parameter settings and that the filter responses in most cases are highly non-linear. Since there is no general solution for performing perceptual calibration of image and video operators automatically, it is often necessary to manually perform tweaking of multiple parameters. This is an iterative process which requires instant visual feedback of the result in both the spatial and temporal domains. Due to large filter kernels, computational complexity, high frame rate, and image resolution it is, however, often very time consuming to iteratively re-process and tweak long video sequences.We present a new method for rapidly finding the perceptual minima in high-dimensional parameter spaces of general video operators. The key idea of our algorithm is that the characteristics of an operator can be accurately described by interpolating between a small set of pre-computed parameter settings. By computing a perceptual linearization of the parameter space of a video operator, the user can explore this interpolated space to find the best set of parameters in a robust way. Since many operators are dependent on two or more parameters, we formulate this as a general optimization problem where we let the objective function be determined by the user's image assessments. To demonstrate the usefulness of our approach we show a set of use cases (see the supplementary material) where our algorithm is applied to computationally expensive video operations.
This work presents a survey and a user evaluation of tone mapping operators (TMOs) for high dynamic range (HDR) video, i.e. TMOs that explicitly include a temporal model for processing of variations in the input HDR images in the time domain. The main motivations behind this work is that: robust tone mapping is one of the key aspects of HDR imaging [Reinhard et al. 2006]; recent developments in sensor and computing technologies have now made it possible to capture HDR-video, e.g. [Unger and Gustavson 2007; Tocci et al. 2011]; and, as shown by our survey, tone mapping for HDR video poses a set of completely new challenges compared to tone mapping for still HDR images. Furthermore, video tone mapping, though less studied, is highly important for a multitude of applications including gaming, cameras in mobile devices, adaptive display devices and movie post-processing. Our survey is meant to summarize the state-of-the-art in video tonemapping and, as exemplified in Figure 1 (right), analyze differences in their response to temporal variations. In contrast to other studies, we evaluate TMOs performance according to their actual intent, such as producing the image that best resembles the real world scene, that subjectively looks best to the viewer, or fulfills a certain artistic requirement. The unique strength of this work is that we use real high quality HDR video sequences, see Figure 1 (left), as opposed to synthetic images or footage generated from still HDR images.
High dynamic range (HDR) video technology has gone through remarkable developments over the last few years;HDR-video cameras are being commercialized, new algorithms for color grading and tone mapping specifically designed for HDR-video have recently been proposed, and the first open source compression algorithms for HDR-video are becoming available. HDR-video represents a paradigm shift in imaging and computer graphics, which has and will continue to generate a range of both new research challenges and applications. This intermediate-level tutorial will give an in-depth overview of the full HDR-video pipeline present several examples of state-of-the-art algorithms and technology in HDR-video capture, tone mapping, compression and specific applications in computer graphics.

Things You Should Know About Outsourcing
One can get a lot of information as to why or why not an organization should outsource their processes. However, not often we talk about the challenges that an organization may have to face when the real activity takes place. Hence, it is critical to know as to what are the major challenges that you, as a Company may face when you decide to outsource work.
On Time Delivery
Even though most of the times the work being outsourced is claimed to be routine and less important from the perspective of client-company, it is important nonetheless. A lot of times, costs tend to be higher than estimated due to a delay in delivery; delayed timelines further result in loss of revenue and loss of face for the parent company. On time delivery has implications beyond the monetary terms. Therefore, you have to be really careful while selecting the vendor for outsourcing your work. It's important to get testimonials and talk to current/previous clients of the vendors you are looking at. Due diligence goes a long way in securing the right partner.
Each company claims to be a Subject Matter Expert but how do you know if it's true or not? Look closer and examine their work and experience of company employees carefully. You will be able to find organizations that focus on one single domain in outsourcing; organizations that have been doing this work for many years. These organizations have a deep and thorough understanding of processes and its workings.
Hidden Costs
Many a times, vendors will have hidden costs in order to make their case strong and make the offer look more attractive. This often leaves the company with a feeling of betrayal as they end up paying more than what they bargained for. Although the vendors who resort to these tactics do not stay in business for long; whole arrangement ends in a foul experience for the outsourcing company. Hence, it's very important to partner with a vendor who looks after your interests and is not shortsighted.
Outsourcing Partnership and Cultural Challenges
Often, clients have a hard time managing off-shore teams due to communication issues and different styles of working. The difference in cultures can also be a major issue. For example in some cultures, disagreements are seen as healthy whereas in some, they are a sign of disobedience. With such conflicting cultural norms, unseen communication issues may arise. These challenges, however, can be overcome if companies partner with an experienced vendor. A vendor who has been in the business for long, is able to identify and overcome these challenges.
These are few of the major questions you are going to face when you decide to outsource. It is imperative to think through these questions and find the right vendor because when you do that, outsourcing is really what it is said to be – A cost effective solution for your problems.
Is your Company Headed towards Continuous Improvement Standards?
The Outsourcing Industry has been growing at a rapid pace. Although the growth was sluggish after 2008 due to the global economic slowdown, it has nevertheless picked up pace and is expected to grow at rate for 12-15% annually. The major reason for this phenomenal growth is because outsourcing industry has now moved from delivery of transactional processes to providing business process excellence. These offshore centers have emerged as new knowledge centers equipped with decades of experience under their belt. With increased focus on quality, many of these businesses have moved from operational delivery to process improvement for their end client.
It is imperative to have quality of processes in all the segments, including Human Resources, Finance and other sectors for serving diverse and fast-growing business market. Due to the rapidly changing business market reflected by rising costs and demands on delivering value; it is ideal to develop and implement an Strategy for processes, which will transform and build operational efficiencies for business. Baseline – today's processes require excellence measures to sustain in the market. However, not many companies provide Process Excellence as a continuous added service to its Clients.
Process excellence is not just about streamlining processes by eliminating extra work but also about achieving maximum efficiency through identifying the best practices. Providing Process Excellence involves a step-by-step identification of processes, matrix creation, improvements of the process and continuous development. Our company achieves this by breaking down a process in many steps and identifying key deliverables where process efficiencies can be achieved. This is done using quality measures and methodologies like designing metrics, balanced scorecards and analytical reports. There are many levers for Excellence during this transformation such as scope diagnosis, needs assessment, design and control techniques etc.
To ensure desired outcome, it is also important to identify redundancy and waste in processes and systems to restructure them in most efficient way without compromising quality of deliverables and customer service. Simultaneously, it is critical to continuously assess performance of processes using Six Sigma methodology to determine the "current" quality status to drive and setting the "to-be" bar high to exceed Client's expectations.
Hence, if you are looking to partner with a company, it is ideal to look at various companies following continuous process improvement methodologies which can help you to save time, cost and deliver excellence. We at Headway support these practices and believe in updating our process with the Six Sigma methodology; Does your company believe in this as well?
Human Capital Investment: A Future of Immense Opportunities
Human Capital; we hear, term and reciprocate this enormous number of times. But why is it so important in today's customer driven market?
Let's put it this way, happy and skilled employees, working for customer's satisfaction, delivering outputs which results in organisations' growth scenarios. Of Course, today investing in People is as much important as investing in other input material for a desired output. And that's not all they are the face of any organisation, so before we turn in to the set of any other resources for Clients; Clients look for stable employee sets for their results. This is one of the main reasons employee retention ratios and satisfaction level focus has grown in the recent years.
This has further added employee commitment to become much more essential and Leaders continue to encourage openness and reciprocity to build that trust. This brings in consideration of employers looking after the family of the employees directly or indirectly with the perks and in return expects a share of company's interest from them.
Also, Needless to say that today, Indian companies have moved towards a social mission to understand a bigger prospect of the work that is executed on a small scale by employees. This brings in a sense of satisfaction to employees of how the small tasks executed by them leads to a bigger organisational goals and how they are contributing their bit in the same adding to their motivation in work. This has brought in a new aspect of leadership training with the flow to the whole organisation resulting in self-encouraged and positive individuals bringing about the new meaning in organisation culture and growth.
Here are some of the examples of organisations moving towards this cause as per an old archive article published in Harvard Business Review:
- HCL's "Employee first, customer second" policy, supported by initiatives designed to make employees feel more personally responsible for the company's offerings and give them a voice with upper management, does exactly this. Vineet Nayar's public 360-degree reviews for managers is another example.
- MindTree's cofounder Subroto Bagchi, whose title is vice chairman and gardener, spends much of his time coaching the company's top 100 leaders. Dr. Reddy's managers all receive training in coaching and are required to coach as well as evaluate employees. As S. Ramadorai, the former head of Tata Consultancy Services, said of his company's success, "It's all about human capital at the end of the day."
- In Wipro's sophisticated program, each of roughly 1,000 managers and executives is scored on 12 leadership measures, and individual scores are compared with company averages. The top 300 leaders are reviewed by Wipro's chairman, Azim Premji, in a process that extends over five days. Following those reviews, the company draws up a development plan for each candidate that includes coaching, training, and rotational assignments. The process creates a pool of candidates to fill anticipated vacancies. This may sound similar to some U.S. "academy companies," but Wipro adds other features, such as tracking possible hires outside the firm with an eye to when vacancies at Wipro will create an opportunity to recruit them.

Leaders are the Back-Bone of Any Organization
Good leaders bring out the best in employees
A bad leader may suppress the good in an employee, an average leader may just leave it untouched but a great leader will help the employee bring out the best in him/her. They will help them and guide them through their fears and reach their potential. This increases productivity and helps an organization retain best talent and move upward.
Good Leaders build strong work culture
A great leader creates a positive and strong company culture. A strong company culture lays the foundation for success of an organization. All the big organizations you see today have one thing in common – great leaders who allowed their people the freedom to take risk and had faith in them. Now you may ask – what are the monetary benefits of a strong culture! Research has proven that strong company culture leads to happy employees, which is directly related to increased productivity and reduced turnover. And we all know that increased productivity means an increased topline and bottom-line. Still need more reasons?
Great leaders create a brand
Do you have many bad leaders in the organization? If yes, then you may not know it yet but you have a reputation in the market: good company with bad bosses! Nobody wants to work with you. Always remember, culture is a result of leaders in the organization and your company's culture is what creates your reputation. In today's time with platforms like Glassdoor, it is very easy for potential candidate to find out about the work culture of any company. A good organizational culture creates a successful employer brand. Leaders help you make that brand. If you already have a brand, they will take the legacy forward and make it more successful.
Above are just few of the reasons why a great leader is needed in the organizations. A good leader leads by example and perpetuates values like honesty and integrity in employees which strengthen the core of every organization. The real value of a great leader goes much beyond monetary gains. What do you think a great leader brings to your company?

The bedrock beneath Ohio is from the Paleozoic Era. It ranges in age from the Ordovician to the Permian (approximately 450 to 290 million years old; Ohio Geological Map [pdf]).

Spring Hill, FL –
(PRWEB) January 15, 2013 -- Narconon Spring Hill, an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center represented by Bricklemyer, Smolker & Bolves of Tampa, FL, won their law suit on Friday, January 11, 2013, when a federal jury unanimously reached a verdict finding that Hernando County intentionally discriminated against them, according to court documents.
According to court documents, after a five day trial of case number 8-11-CV-1368-T-27TGW at Florida Middle District Court, the jury concluded that the County's decision to revoke a special exception permit in 2009 was intentional and, thus, illegal under the Federal Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act--both federal laws prohibit discrimination against individuals based on race, religion, handicap, or gender.
"I cannot overstate the importance of this victory. Every day individuals struggle with addiction across our country and this win empowers not only ourselves and other health care providers but all those suffering from addiction who so desperately need help. We are more committed than ever to expanding our rehabilitation and education efforts in order to serve more people," says Tammy Strickling, CEO and Executive Director of Narconon Spring Hill, Inc.
The County contended that its actions were based on legitimate reasons unrelated to the status of Narconon Spring Hill as a substance abuse service provider; however, the jury received instructions that it could disregard the County's explanation if it was false or unworthy of belief, according to court documents. In addition to finding that the County's decision was discriminatory, the jury awarded Narconon Spring Hill damages for the injuries caused by the June 2009 decision.
The members of the Hernando County commission that made the decision in June 2009 were Rose Rocco, Jeff Stabins, Jim Adkins, Dave Russell with John Druzbick allegedly being the only commissioner that voted against the discriminatory action.
Narconon Spring Hill was represented by Ethan J. Loeb, Jon P. Tasso and David Smolker of Bricklemyer Smolker & Bolves, Tampa, FL. "We are very pleased to have been victorious in this discrimination suit. Our firm remains committed to protecting the rights of the disabled and seeing that our client in this case is able to serve these individuals without discrimination by Hernando County," said Loeb, lead attorney in the suit.
Bricklemyer Smolker & Bolves is recognized for their proven expertise as well as the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.
Narconon Spring Hill, located in Spring Hill, Florida, is a private non-profit agency licensed by the State of Florida. They are dedicated to eliminating drug abuse and drug addiction through drug prevention, education and rehabilitation. Their mission is saving lives, reuniting families and rebuilding communities. If you or someone you know needs help with an alcohol or drug abuse problem, call a certified counselor day or night for help now at 1-800-511-9403.

Capital is an essential measurement of an institution's financial fortitude. It works as a bulwark against losses and provides protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. When looking at safety and soundness, the higher the capital, the better.
On our test to measure capital adequacy, T H P racked up 30 out of a possible 30 points, exceeding the national average of 15.65.
T H P's capitalization ratio of 30.00 percent in our test was better than the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's stronger than its peers.
This test is intended to try to understand how the credit union's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization could be affected by troubled assets, such as unpaid mortgages.
Having lots of these kinds of assets may eventually force a credit union to use capital to cover losses, decreasing its buffer of equity. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, resulting in reduced earnings and potentially more risk of a future failure.
On Bankrate's test of asset quality, T H P scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, beating out the national average of 38.09 points.
Troubled assets made up 0.00 percent of the credit union's total assets in our test, below the national average and potentially indicative of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
A credit union's earnings performance affects its safety and soundness. Earnings can be retained by the credit union, boosting its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union better able to withstand economic shocks. Conversely, losses take away from a credit union's ability to do those things.
On Bankrate's earnings test, T H P scored 0 out of a possible 30, less than the national average of 10.11.
The credit union had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's beating its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Went down to SWA the other day. How long has it been since i last stepped into the place? Haha. Played a game with Alvin, of course, needless to say, i lost. Damn. But ah. It suks. Is it a stupid thought of mine? He asks why not i just juggle school, work, Go at once? My reply was, if i were t o start Go, i would like to concentrate on it. If i were to play Go, i want and must be the best, or at least, one of the best. Shucks imagine the past me where i am able to play at least 17 games non stop a day. Now i can't spare much time. Ah.. ~~~..... x.X

And i mentioned i won't be celebrating, but went out to sorta celebrate with frens 2 days straight. ~.~

I thought it would juz gonna be a normal dinner but they actually prepared a cake for me~ Aww.. =) BUT~!!! Here comes the embarrassing part.. Zzz.. Fish and Co style, the birthday person (in this case me) will havta stand up on the chair and then the staff will shout out saying there's a birthday girl on da house blah blah then sing bday song.. VERY loudly and everyone were staring at me.. T_T *faints* I had to quickly sit down blushing after the song. >.<
At first i was kinda disappoint with the slow and inorganized service there but the bday thingy is a plus for FnC.. However, one thing is, that day happens to have 2 or 3 other birthday ppl as well so i think they kinda lack creativity for the bday thingy.. Haha.. They should have more ideas for different ppl.. Well, at least i'm the first to try out.. Haha..
After the dinner wenta Giraffe for relaxing cocktail session which Alvin and Andrew came to join us. The cocktail is so so, my friends say the alcohol isn't strong. Stayed there to chit chat and finally make our way home..
Finally getta eat my steamboat~!! Starring me, my dear, Kai Yun, Ting Zhou, Meng Hong, Dennis, Ming Shen.. But alota probs at the beginning. Firstly, when we get there, it was super full and me and another bunch of friends havta wait outside end up they set tables outside for us.. Woots~ But the second problem comes when i felt water. Yes, it started to drizzle and they evolved into huge rain.. All of us havta move in and squeeze to get into the shelter. Haha.. Funny, eh? But we still enjoyed the dinner though there can be more beef. @_@ Haha. I'm actually craving for the beef. Aww..
After dinner we proceed to White Bar @ Boat Quay, where Grace, Gary, and Wenhan joined us~~ My favourite part coz Mr. Seow Ting Zhou was down~!!! Wakakakakaka.. Total we had 3 bottles of Martell and surprisingly, nobody was drunk.. Aww.. =/ No fun.. Lolx~~

Hey bookworms! How is the middle of your week going? Mine is going great because I found some volunteer work that I may enjoy! I'm just waiting for them to email me back about training. *has been stalking my email* But anywho you probably are more interested to hear what I've been reading lately! To make it easier to let you all know I've decided to do a WWW Wednesday. WWW Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Taking on a World of Words where bloggers answer three questions: 1. What are you currently reading? 2. What have you recently finished reading? 3. What do you plan on reading next? So let's get to it!
What I'm Currently Reading
The Diviners by Libba Bray
I'm currently listening to this monster via audio book from my library's use of Overdrive. I love that the narrator fits the time and feel of the book. I have had issues but they have seemed to have died off at this point. There has been points where I wish I wasn't listening to it alone because I am a total scaredy cat! I haven't decided if I want to review it, but if you want me to let me know!
Salt&Stone by Victoria Scott
My nightly read to slow down my brain. So far I'm not enjoying the contenders as much as I did the first book. They are kinda getting on my nerves a bit reminiscent of what the characters of the Divergent series did for me in the last two books. I am still enjoying their Pandoras and really want Maddox he is such a mischievous playful creature!
What I've Recently Finished Reading
Citrus Vol 4 by Saburo Uta
The downside of getting a book a week after it's release is that you don't know when the next is coming out!! *wails* I really loved where this volume went and I gave it a 5 out of 5 stars!
The Heir by Kiera Cass
I reread this via audiobook and am going to work on my review of it next. The audio book raised my rating from a 3.5 to a 4.8 out of 5 stars. I know we all had our issues with this book, but having space from it helped me get some perspective.
What I Plan on Reading Next
So these last few days have been slightly busy for me and I haven't been reading my paper reads, so I really want to get back to those!
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
Soundless by Richelle Mead
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling and Illustrated by Jim Kay
Bloodrose by Andrea Cremer
This one is my only non paper read it will be my next listen on Scribd with my monthly credit. I know this reread may splinter my heart, but I adore it and really want to make sure I get to read them all!
Well bookworms that is what I've been up to! What have you been reading? What are your thoughts on these? Are there any rereads that you risk breaking your heart all over again for? Let me know in the comments below!

The Arduino Maker UNO Plus has been designed specifically to simplify Arduino for Education. Learn about and construct electronic circuits and explore physical computing. Traditional Arduino boards can make the task of troubleshooting circuits that don't work quite difficult. Determining if it is the code or the circuit can be problematic. The GPIO pins on the Maker UNO Plus feature LEDs that make the job of seeing when pins become active very easy, you can quickly see if the program is functioning correctly and act accordingly.
Each Arduino Uno comes with stickers for all of the pin headers. Once the stickers are attached to the board it makes the task of finding the right IO pin much easier for the students, which should result in fewer failed circuits. There is also a handy strip on the back of the boards that be used to add a name a or label.
Maker UNO Plus is fully compatible with Arduino. You can share the same library and code. Compared with the original Arduino Uno, Maker UNO Plus has added 12x LED, 1x piezo buzzer and 1x programmable pushbutton switch. The current of 3.3V is boosted to 500mA from 150mA to support more 3.3V's devices. The DC jack power input socket is removed and the conventional USB Type B is also replaced with the more commonly used USB Micro B. The USB to serial converter used at Maker UNO Plus is upgraded to FT231X from CH340 at Maker UNO. The driver installation of FT231X is much easier compare to CH340.
Maker UNO Plus is CE, FCC and RoHS compliance! CE also known as "European Conformity" is a product safety requirement recognized by the European countries. FCC is a requirement of the Federal Communications Commission (USA) to ensure the electromagnetic interference from the product is under the approved limits. While RoHS compliance means that all components that used at Maker UNO Plus are green and not harmful to the environment.
- Learn Arduino and physical computing on a board that has been specifically designed for education.

The doctor may decide to include specific "Encounters" that are important to create a final template of clinical summary
The doctor may save this template , so that it can be used by other doctors.

Plaid Cymru has published a discussion paper on the way forward for the economy in Powys.
The document will be launched at the Winter Fair in Llanelwedd later today. The paper makes 32 recommendations for action to boost the economy of Powys.
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Affairs, Plaid Cymru Mid and West Wales AM Helen Mary Jones said:
"We face a number of challenges in Powys including depopulation, a weak economy with many people in part-time employment and on low wages.
"One of the essential sectors for our rural communities is agriculture, but the sector has faced immense pressure in recent years, which will be further compounded post Brexit.
"As someone raised in my teenage years in Powys I often feel the county's potential has been held back. I know many people are concerned that, with all the talk of City Deals, Powys is forgotten.
"This is why Plaid Cymru Councillor Elwyn Vaughan and I are launching this policy paper called 'Powys – the heart of Wales' to refocus the way we look at the county's economy."
One recommendation is for Powys County Council to make more of its farm estate.
Party of Wales Assembly Member Helen Mary Jones added:
"Powys has the largest local authority owned farm estate in Wales. With 11,000 acres and worth nearly £90m, it is a substantial asset. This estate should be seen as a valuable asset for Powys and therefore a clear economic strategy should be developed with a view of facilitating investment and to help agricultural businesses diversify."

Grayshot is made of up brothers Aaron and Christian Ankrum along with drummer Reese Kling. This alternative pop band has been busy steadily crisscrossing the US and parts of the UK/Europe as well as writing and recording material (their first full length album Stay/Go was self-produced) in their Minneapolis studio. Their songs are a rare hybrid of indie depth & heart with a large-audience ready sound that has seen over 40 placements, notably Emmy winning Brooklyn Nine Nine, UK feature film Love Me Do and CBS College Football.
Having honed their live sound while supporting international bands The Boxer Rebellion and Citizens! on their respective US tours, as well as Switchfoot and Empires, Grayshot has become a formidable live band that consistently wins over new fans and delivers for returning audiences. After two years of hard work the band is ready to release their second studio album, Borders, on April 1, 2016. With the additional production of Ben West (Jr. Jr., P!NK, Matt Nathanson) and mastering by Huntley Miller (Tallest Man on Earth, Poliça) Grayshot was able to create an album that stirs the sounds of The Blue Nile, Doves, Aqualung, and Keane.

Derek Acorah holds a seance and Sam Thompson gives Helen Lederer a lap dance in Celebrity Big Brother
And we don't know which is more harrowing
There are absolutely terrifying scenes on tonight's Celebrity Big Brother. Not because Derek Acorah holds a live seance (although that happens as well), but because Sam Thompson gives a rather perplexed Helen Lederer a lap dance.
It's only day two in CBB and already the housemates have taken leave of their senses. Sam gets oiled up and writhes around on Helen and Paul Danan almost has a punch-up with Barry off EastEnders in what we *think* is a bit of acting for the celebrity talent show.
Undoubtedly the best moment is when Derek teams up with Karhik for a live seance and asks "a spirit person to go around" all of the CBB housemates – which surely is his spirit guide and 2,000-year-old chum Sam?
Anyway, as Derek's talking about his seance, this is Sandi's reaction:
Celebrity Big Brother airs at 9pm on Channel 5.
