I have never been on a 100% raw diet, and never will be, but I do know how challenging it can be to stay raw when dining out at restaurants.
This becomes even more of a challenge when the people you're dining out with aren't on a raw or vegan diet at all, and can eat all those yummy things on the menu.
So how best to deal with this? In this article I am sharing my insights and some concrete tips to keep eating raw when dining out.
6 Tips for Eating Raw at Restaurants
Hopefully the following 6 tips can offer you some reassurance that dining out at restaurants and being on a raw food diet can go hand in hand.
1. Pick the Right Restaurant
Picking the right type of restaurant is important, especially if you are going with people who aren't all raw or who don't know you're raw.
The idea is to go for a type of restaurant that has salads. Or at least some sort of non-cooked vegetable options. This usually rules out some of the Indian, and Asian restaurants. Those tend to have vegetarian or vegan options (great if you're not 100% raw) but not so many raw options.
I recommend you check out Italian restaurants, steak joints (really!), Mexican restaurants (for guacamole), and other restaurants that happen to serve salads.
I tend not to enjoy restaurant salads if they are "cheaper restaurants" because then you get a few pieces of iceberg lettuce and two non-ripe tomato slices on top. (Think truck stop restaurants here)
But with most higher end restaurants, or steak houses, you're going to be getting some quality veggies.
2. Skip the Mind Games
Now the tough part when it comes to ordering at a regular restaurant is not getting caught up in your mind games.
What do I mean by that?
It's something that I've noticed happening in my own mind quite a few times, and that other people seem to pick up on.
When you look at the menu, you'll be tempted to say:
"Screw it, I don't have to eat raw tonight!", and just order something else to fit in or reward yourself. (Rewarding yourself with food is another blog post altogether!)
If you do order a salad and other people ask you questions like:
"Don't you feel like having something else? Aren't you sick of eating salads?"
You'll start feeling left out, kind of down, or just plain jipped.
I seriously encourage you not to fall into that trap. The truth is that every time I order a salad at a decent restaurant, I'm really happy with it.
3. Double Your Salad Order
True story.
I once ordered two "house salads" and asked them to be put into one big bowl. The waitress asked if I was really sure about that… she probably didn't get that request very often.
The house salad was about half the price of a regular entree, and to me it made sense to just double it and have a full meal. It turned out great, I felt satisfied, and I got lots of really great tasting greens.
4. Add Extra Veggies
Another great option is simply asking for vegetables that you see in other dishes or salads to be added to your green salad.
If you see that they have avocado in a sandwich, and they have red bell peppers as part of another dish, you can just ask them to throw some of these into your basic salad.
That adds bulk and really makes it a fuller meal for you. Sure, it might cost you a bit more but most salads tend to be on the less expensive side of the menu anyways.
5. Feel Good About Your Choices
You will often worry that you're going to want to eat what other people have ordered.
It's just your monkey brain trying to convince you that your life isn't perfect, and that you should be doing things differently.
The truth is that when you focus on the present moment, and commit to enjoying every bite of what it is you have in front of you, you really don't have to care what other people order.
Now when people imply that the restaurant doesn't have any good raw options, you can say that you're really happy with your order.
6. Enjoy Your Company!
Remember that most of the time when we meet up with others at a restaurant, we are doing so to connect with people.
To enjoy each other's company. To get to know each other. To share stories, laugh, and really treasure each other.
It shouldn't be all about the food, though that can be fun too.
So the next time someone invites you out to eat, do a little research about the type of restaurant that has salads you might like, and go for it.
Enjoy your time together, and make the most of the present moment. It's the only one you've got!

PICKERINGTON, OH – July 15, 2015 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Champions for 2015 were crowned at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, on July 12. Trevor Kline, 25, of Hebron, Ohio, won the AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Championship and David Smeal, 55, of Danville, Pa., claimed AMA Off-Road Senior Vintage Grand Champion honors.
"Many AMA members who compete at the AMA Vintage Grand Championship don't enter just one discipline, and this award was founded to recognize the best, most versatile riders at the event," said AMA Supercross Director Kevin Crowther, who oversaw the vintage racing program at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days this year. "The AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Champions excel in woods racing, motocross and trials. Winning this award is a true testament to all-around riding ability. It's my pleasure to congratulate both Trevor and David on winning these awards in 2015, and to be the first to invite them back to defend their titles at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days next year."
This is the first year that Kline and Smeal have earned top honors at the Moto Armory AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Championship, although both have competed at the event in the past. For 2015, Moto Armory sponsored the off-road competition program at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, which included motocross, hare scrambles and trials.
Kline rode Open A in the vintage hare scramble, 250A and Open A in vintage motocross and Vintage Old School in trials. He said the determining factor this year was having a better trials bike than past years.
"This year we put together a different trials bike that's more trials-oriented, because that's normally where my whole event fell apart every year," Kline said. "We put together an old Bultaco and ended up pulling it off this year."
As far as the best track conditions, Kline said the motocross on Saturday was awesome.
"It's probably been about the best it's ever been here," he said.
Kline assured fans that he will be back to defend the Vintage Grand Championship next year.
"I'll come back every year," Kline said. "It's a good time."
As the AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Champion, Kline earned the most combined points in eligible vintage motocross, hare scrambles and trials classes during the event.
Smeal became the AMA Off-Road Senior Vintage Grand Champion by earning the most combined points in senior classes in the vintage motocross, hare scrambles and trials disciplines. A six-year competitor at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, this year Smeal competed in the vintage hare scrambles aboard a 250 Penton and a Maico that has been in his family since 1974. He rode the trials on a Yamaha TY250.
"We buy them old, fix them up and get the best guys to work on them," Smeal said. "That's why we end up here."
He says he has never ridden trials in the mud.
"That was a challenge," Smeal said. "That was probably the worst I've done, but I enjoyed every minute of it."
For 2015, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days celebrated the 25th anniversary of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is a fundraiser for the facility, which houses the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and other thematic exhibits that celebrate motorcycling's heritage.
AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer David Aldana was the grand marshal for the event this year. One of the most colorful personalities in racing, Aldana teamed with Mike Baldwin to win the prestigious Suzuka eight-hour endurance race in 1981 as a Honda factory rider. He also was one of the most versatile racers in history, competing in nearly every form of motorcycle racing, including motocross and speedway racing.
The museum was founded in 1990 to provide a permanent home to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, which celebrates and preserves the rich tradition of motorcycling in America through the recognition of the sport's greatest heroes. Proceeds from AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days are donated to the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization tasked with funding the operation of the museum and Hall of Fame activities.
The annual AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days includes North America's largest motorcycle swap meet with parts, bikes and memorabilia from all eras. Bike shows bring out examples of some of history's most beloved motorcycles, while stunt shows, such as the American Motor Drome Wall of Death, and demo rides of current production bikes keep attendees entertained. Seminars feature some of the country's leading experts on numerous motorcycling topics.

SOFTEN: Infosys staffers' initiative
IT professional S L Manjunath e-mailed the other day asking if I could help him identify some localities of the poor who might need the used clothes his friends on the Mysore Infosys campus had collected. First, I thought it was rather naïve of my young friend to have come up such request. Because, the poor are found everywhere in our country. I thought all that Mr Manjunath and his friends needed to do was step out of their swanky campus to look out for them.
On reflection I sensed their problem. Not all poor people need be needy for the kind of clothes Mr Manjunath and friends wish to distribute – old jeans, branded shirts, skirt and tops, and salwaar-kameez. Handing them out at random to alms-seekers in front of temples may not be a good idea. I have seen well-to-do devotees doling out their used clothes to the poor lined up in front of Raghavendra temple on Thursdays. In most cases the takers are not the end-users. And the discarded clothes find their way to the neighborhood flea market.
Mysore Infosys is an exclusive township, housing some 4,500 company trainees, who come from all over India and abroad for a 16-week training course. Many of them, given to an upscale lifestyle, often discard clothes and things they sparsely use. Manjunath and a group of his campus residents hit upon the idea of reaching out to the needy with clothes they collect on the campus.
They formed a Social Forum to Enable the Needy (SOFTEN), initially to help the economically disadvantaged children in Mysore's corporation schools to acquire soft-skills such as proper communicating and analytical abilities and improvement of language skills, notably, English. During the current school vacation SOFTEN plans to run a 'soft-skills' course for the benefit of deserving Class X students from some local corporation schools.
Presumably, the idea for collection and distribution of used clothes is a SOFTEN spin-off. In advanced countries they have Salvation Army and thrift shops through which the collected clothes are distributed. Collection of clothes and other useful items from those on Infosys campus would be easy, given the initiative of spirited township residents such as Munjunath. The problem is in evolving an effective distribution system.
If an operating system with a clothes collection centre on the campus, and distribution outlets in the city, can be put in place in Mysore, it could serve as a working model for Infosys and other IT corporate townships elsewhere in the country. Orphanages and old age people homes would be natural outlets for consumer useables. Public-spirited individuals and institutions that can spare show-room space and a couple of volunteers could come forward to set up used-clothes outlets, run by volunteers.
NGOs such as Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP), Rotary and Lions Clubs, Institution of Engineers (which routinely rents out space for sales of books, garments, handicraft and other consumer items) can designate space for SOFTEN's distribution outlet, where the poor and the needy could go to pick up the clothes they need.
It has been my observation that NRIs, notably young professionals, are given to discarding clothes, shoes and other serviceable consumer items as they go out of fashion, or when new styles and models are in the market. It would help if each NRI were to set aside five kg (out of their total baggage allowance of 60 plus kg) for bringing their used clothes on their every trip to India. The parcels of clothes they bring in could be deposited in drop-boxes set up at airports, to be picked up by the NGO coordinating distribution among the needy.

Interesting topic and blog. Glad to see Infoscions go above-and-beyond to be socially responsible.
The Infosys employees can do one better if each employee adopts a poor family in Mysore. Mere donation of used or even new clothes to a hungry family has at best very minimal impact. As large companies do in Western countries, it can work actively with a number of primary and secondary schools by funding their programmes and taking stake-holding interest in their curricular activities.
Infosys can do much more like i)employing poor unskilled Mysoreans ( I understand that it has a very few Mysoreans at all layers of the company) ii)setting up an organisation that provdes a way forward (though education, training etc..)to lift the poor from their poverty trap iii) ensuring that its employees do not drive up price of lands by speculative buying which directly affects the poor in many ways iv)protecting the eco system whose unbalalnce affects the poor most.
Instead of donating used clothes to the poor which does not put 'rottis' in their plates, and which appears as a mere gesture, I suggest the following:
1.Each Infosys employee 'adopts a poor family' in Mysore and help them to plan their present and future with active assistance with funds
2.The employees should urge infosys, the company. to collaborate with a cluster of primary and secondary schools actively to improve their curricular activities. Tthis is done in many countries in Europe.
3.Infosys , the company, should give priority to workers from poor families in Mysore during recruitment drives.
4. Infosys, the company should strongly advise its rich employees to restrict their land-buying activities in Mysore so that this process does not deprive poor families their livelihood.
The above are some practical steps that should taken if Info sys employees really care for Mysore's poor.

ABSTRACT Brodie
There has been a long running debate in the GBR as to the influence of river suspended sediment loads on regional turbidity values in the GBR lagoon. One school of thought, typified by the work of Larcombe, Woolfe, Ridd and colleagues, claims that turbidity in the GBR lagoon is not limited by fine sediment supply i.e. there has already been, for the last few thousand years, sufficient fine sediments in the shallow parts of the lagoon (in generally less than 10m water depth) to produce the turbidity we see produced by wind-driven resuspension. Thus increased suspended sediment delivery from the rivers due to agricultural and urban developments on their catchments will have no effect on regional turbidity (and hence not be a major issue for GBR reefs). The other school of thought, typified by the work of Wolanski, Fabricius and McCulloch, claims that as each new delivery of fine suspended sediments occurs to the GBR lagoon an 'easily resuspendable' layer of benthic sediment is laid down. During the following 12 month period this layer is resuspended by wave action but due to its nature it produces higher concentrations of turbidity than would be the case without this 'easily resuspendable' layer. Thus increases in the delivery of suspended sediments from the rivers will lead to increased above historic levels of turbidity (and thus be a major issue for the health of GBR reefs).
Resolution of this debate is critical to the priority given to managing erosion on GBR catchments in comparison to managing other pollutants e.g. nitrate from fertiliser or herbicide residues. Preliminary results from Ian Webster (CLW) off the Fitzroy River and Eric Wolanski (AIMS, MTSRF) off the Tully River using turbidity loggers suggests that the second hypothesis (above) may have some validity. I propose that this is a question able to be answered using sensor technology as the sensors for turbidity are available, relatively low cost and work well. The project would have to extend over a number of years to check a number of river discharge events and include a good representation of variable weather conditions.

OP140 - They Say It could Not be Done
Hello Son,
They Say It could Not be Done
The old paradigm of the material world was designed to suppress your higher abilities and to make you busy. They constantly reminded you that you are here to serve obediently to their calling.
You have come to see the lies between the words and news, that now you walk the other way to the truth.
They say it could not be done, that you would forever be ignorant to the truth and you would not inherit the wisdom of the past sages. But increasingly you awaken to seek further truth that has changed you completely; which you are forever thankful to the Creator.
You have proved so many people wrong that continuously pull you down to make you feel small, so that you would live in fear of them. But this is passing as a new paradigm is soon coming to pass that will demolish all things that was false.
So stand up tall and be confident in yourselves knowing that victory will soon be yours, as long as you walk with others who speak the truth.
Your mother; wisdom in a few words that can change your life to the good.

Talk Shoppe creates exceptional projects that answer your most pressing business questions.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all methodology approaches, and work with our clients to create one-of-a-kind custom research that fits your business like a glove.
Talk Shoppe was founded in 2010 out of a desire to go beyond the traditional research approach and create innovative studies that truly help our partners answer their most pressing questions in a meaningful way.
We are women-owned, multicultural & bi-coastal with offices in Los Angeles, CA and Atlanta, GA.
We like to think that we are the best of both worlds: a small, nimble boutique agency with the deep experience of "the big guys."
Our staff has worked for traditional research vendors like Hall & Partners and The Nielsen Company. But, we also have strategic planning and agency roots. We understand the need for insights to be actionable. We see how traditional research doesn't go far enough in helping you get the insights you need to make strategic decisions in real time. That's why our approach is always to explain the "why" behind the "what."
We hope this is the beginning of a longer conversation, now let's Talk Shoppe!
Talk Shoppe knows how to dig deep and get to underlying perceptions, motivations and emotions that consumers themselves are not aware of and don't explicitly articulate. And then they elevate these insights into memorable and effective mental frameworks for decision-making and creative inspiration.
Talk Shoppe's most recent project for us led to insights that informed a huge strategy for our organization. We appreciate the nimbleness and perceptiveness of their work. It's nice to collaborate with a firm that's as committed as our own internal team!
I like to say that Talk Shoppe is an extension of my team. The quality of work is extraordinarily high, insights gleaned are cohesive and actionable, correspondence is seamless and timely. There's not much more a person running a strategy department could ever ask for than an extension to their team!
Talkshoppe is one of our go-to suppliers. They're quick, reliable and we can always trust the consistency and quality of their work. We turn to them for study after study because they've really grown to know our business over the years. We consider them true business partners.

5G-enabled Context and situational Awareness detection with machine learninG techniques of city objects in Experimental vertical instances (5G-CAGE)
University of Murcia, Spain – http://www.um.es/english
Experiment description
5G networks are opening up a wide range of new opportunities for the Public Safety industry. Video surveillance and new generation Public Safety Networks (PSN) are intrinsically tied together, as the number of distributed devices such as cameras, recorders and sensors are increasing in Smart Cities. With 5G, the amount of data available for public safety applications is expected to increase tremendously, mostly in terms of video/audio streaming, location information and context-awareness. The application of intelligence mechanisms to detect certain situations or city objects (e.g. license car plates in which PSN operators are interested in quickest reaction to terrorist attacks, crimes or natural disasters) becomes a great challenge targeting Big Data analytics.
In the above context, 5G-CAGE aims at deploying a City Safety solution as a new NFV Network Service into 5GINFIRE Experimental Vertical Instance (EVI), called City Object Detection (CODet), for automatic detection and location of certain city elements and objects. Specifically, 5G-CAGE provides a CODet VxF to detect license car plates via advanced Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms, by means of the monitoring and analytics of video streams collected from cameras equipped in vehicles connected to the Smart City infrastructure. The 5G-CAGE City Safety solution has been exercised and successfully tested in the 5GINFIRE IT-Av Automotive Environment belonging to the 5GINFIRE project ecosystem.
The 5G-CAGE architecture is briefly illustrated below. The OBU connectivity capabilities are mainly through 4G and 802.11p to communicate with the 5GINFIRE infrastructure –where the 5G-CAGE CODet VxF is deployed at the IT-Av Cloud– through the Road-Side Units (RSU) or the Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN). The GPS element in the OBU provides location data and the Wi-Fi link is used for in-vehicle connectivity, specifically with the In-Car Node Processor equipped with the video streaming camera.
Once running the 5G-CAGE CODet VxF, PSN operators (e.g. a police officer) can make use of an external web browser to register given license car plates of interest into the CODet VxF. An example of detection can be shown below.
The figure shows that a registered license car plate has been detected in the Smart City, specifying the place extracted from the GPS coordinates, the date and time of the precise time of detection, the confidence of the detection result (around 90%) and an image of the license car plate after being cropped from the original complete frame so as to preserve privacy issues. An embedded web frame is also shown to review the car location on the map.
As aforementioned, 5G-CAGE has been tested in the 5GINFIRE IT-Av Automotive Environment so as to assess performance in terms of precision detecting license car plates as well as the volume of network traffic required by the CODet VxF for operation. The 5G-CAGE City Safety solution has been tested under real driving conditions by using a single vehicle equipped with a video streaming camera, configured with a resolution of 1280×720, going around a circuit with six license car plates. The next figure shows the experimental results in processing time.
The test output has 60 results, taking into account that in the vehicle route the same license car plates appear in different frames. The average processing time is 473ms, where the time to analyse each plate is around 55ms (in red). As shown, the detection stage is the most time-consuming phase (in green) and presents time spikes depending on the complexity of the frame. On the other hand, it is worth noting that the confidence in detection is 84.11% on average, a very consistent value with the experiment conditions.
On the other hand, the next figure shows the performance measure regarding the amount of network traffic required by the CODet VxF to gather video streams from a single vehicle in the IT-Av Automotive Environment testbed, in particular from its In-Car Node Processor. This plot displays the rate of data across a network connection, in particular regarding the data plane network interface connecting the vehicle with the 5GINFIRE platform.
167.77 KB/s on average is being displayed, indicating that the volume of traffic would be an issue to consider in real automotive scenarios with a greater number of vehicles in motion. However, this potential traffic congestion could be addressed by decoupling the CODet detection functions and transferring part of the solution to each vehicle's OBU. In this way, only results of the detection of each frame, if any, will be sent to the CODet VxF for further analysis, thus reducing the amount of traffic in video streaming delivery.
5G-CAGE presents a City Safety solution to supply PSN operators (e.g. police officers) with an intelligent mechanism capable of identifying specific city objects such as license car plates in an automotive scenario within a Smart City ecosystem, through advanced Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms. The 5G-CAGE City Object Detection (CODet) VxF has been successfully deployed and tested in the 5GINFIRE EVI environment, specifically using the IT-Av Automotive Environment and the 5TONIC Open 5G Lab. The experimental results obtained have confirmed the feasibility of the CODet VxF of being implemented and deployed in a Smart City ecosystem. Although potential traffic congestion may appear in similar conditions, a solution by decoupling the CODet VxF functionality towards the edge computing has been described to mitigate the network problems that may arise. As further research, the 5G-CAGE CODet VxF functionalities could be extended to support other problems raised in emergency settings, speeding up response time of first responders in public safety interventions (e.g. natural disasters such as earthquakes or wildfires).

Daniel Harari's vision Chief Executive Officer
As early as March 2018, we faced significant macroeconomic instability against the backdrop of a trade war. Despite the clear wait-and-see response from customers, we achieved another record year in terms of both revenues and income. In this economic climate, it is more vital than ever for us to stay on course and continue to implement our Lectra 4.0 strategy, initiated at the start of 2017. We have adopted an even more cautious approach, while resolutely maintaining our investments in the future.
"In 2018, we achieved the targets we had set for ourselves for the second year of our strategic roadmap."
Lectra's success is based on its long-term vision, and the new chapter being written today is built on particularly solid foundations. Our two previous roadmaps enabled us to develop our Lectra 4.0 strategy with the ambition of becoming an indispensable player in Industry 4.0. Our 2017-2019 strategic roadmap is the first step in this Lectra 4.0 strategy. It is founded on an analysis of the major trends which already, or will soon, constitute major challenges facing our customers. Since 2017, we have expanded our R&D teams, strengthened our skills in relation to cloud computing, the industrial Internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence, while transforming the design and development of our solutions and initiating trials of our new offers with customers.
In 2018, we launched in a number of pilot countries, a series of innovative offers enabling our customers to implement the principles of Industry 4.0. These offers result from nearly four years of research, the involvement of several hundred people and more than €30 million in fully expensed research and development investments. The full potential of these investments will be gradually reached over the coming years. By deciding to sell our new software offer exclusively in Software as a Service (SaaS) mode, we have chosen to modify our business model to further develop our recurring revenues with a positive medium-term impact on turnover and operating income, while accepting a negative impact in the short term.

"It is 4:30 p.m.
In two weeks, it will still be 4:30 p.m.
In one year, it will be 4:30 p.m.

Today marks, twice, the publication of "Five Minutes" by Jackson B. Smith, a young American writer, born during a heatwave in the shadow of a suburban New York shopping mall.

Product Overview
Design engineering must define product fit, form and function without placing undue burden on your production costs. Because the links between engineering and production teams span several domains, quality information is not easily shared, management processes are disconnected and multiple tools are needed to reach end results. Without the ability to share and leverage this information you are likely to accumulate excessive tooling and metrology costs while reducing the productivity of many people in many areas.
Dimensional Planning and Validation (DPV) bridges the gap between product design and production by providing the only dimensional quality management solution which captures real-world inspection results and links them to a fully associative lifecycle data model. As a result, you can extend your quality process across your entire enterprise and supply chain, allowing you to design anywhere, build anywhere and sell anywhere with confidence.
DPV can import your BuildIT data for maximum compatibility for Statistical Process Control (SPC). The ability to perform a statistical analysis of the manufacturing process complements BuildIT's core offering by expanding the use of the analysis data into control charts to reduce waste and increase product conformity.
By increasing the visibility of as-built quality information, DPV plays a major role in improving quality while reducing the overall cost of quality.

Yay! First day of your internship!! Get ready your ultraman/barbie doll lunch box and start eating in the pantry. But sorry, that's only for primary school or kindergarten..
If you are curious of what your internship Singapore opportunity has in store for you, you're in the right place and hopefully, you're in a right mind too..
Internships in Singapore is quite tedious and challenging, in terms of work load, metrics and others. But not to worry, I am here to prepare and guide you through your internship. So what to prepare before your internship starts?1. Research your company and be early
Do your homework. Understand the company's mission, goals, vision and office hierarchy and it's crucial aspect of your internship. You also have to know what is your company about, what do they do and provide for their clients? And also, you will need to understand the fundamental values of the company. Don't be late on the first day of work.. It's really awful and leaves a bad impression to your superiors. The best way to actually counter all this measurements is.. One day before you start your internship, go to your company's website, write down all the important notes and remember them by heart. Late? No problem. Before you even start, give yourself some time to walk over or take bus to your nearest MRT Station. So example if you live in Jurong East and your internship is at Tanjong Pagar, consider the time, crowd, traffic and train delays. For example, the total travel time taken is 30 mins, and sometimes you might miss your train, so leave your house 15 minutes earlier. You can also try to take a train from Jurong East to Tanjong Pagar, take out your smartphone and on the timer. Try to see how long you can reach your company and this trick works all the time!
2. Polish your skills
Whether if you're computer savvy or not, try to get used to Microsoft Office because you NEED them almost everyday. Data-entry, preparation of powerpoint slides, send in reports using Microsoft Excel and there's so much to do and involvement of Microsoft Office. Usually for me, I'll explore the functions of all the software and research like "How to freeze the first row in Microsoft Excel" or "How to change the timing of the transition in Powerpoint" so that at least my superiors can count on me and I'm prepared to take up all assignments. Furthermore, communication is the key too. You've to know how to communicate to your boss, colleagues and sometimes, clients. If you're an introvert, I suggest you should really try to open up and try to do the talking instead. Make sure that you make eye contact when talking to the person. Even till now, I'm still trying my best to build up my confidence level and making eye contact to whom ever I'm talking to. If I can, you can too.
3. Prepare to dress appropriately.
It's common practice to dress for the job you want, and it's important to show your superiors that you're representing for the branding of your company in the best way. So what I am trying to say? Flip your whole wardrobe and do your research(If you realize, the most important thing is RESEARCH and from now on, Google is your best friend.). If you're having your internship for a big company, chances are while googling, you'll be able to find a few photos of the office online and be able to get a glimpse of what the employees are wearing. Be a copycat, wear what they are wearing. Go and shop for clothes from G2000 or Topshop. Don't you ever think that dressing up is like a fashion show. It's the way and image you are trying to portray yourself towards others.
How to be motivated when you have to wake up early in the morning and try to catch the train? Repeatedly tell yourself you can do it, write something on your notebook what are your goals today, what do you need to do so that when you won't be losing track and feel empty when you are on your way to work. What I usually do is that I will always write "I can do it" on my notebook and to tell myself 10 times in my mind. Not only that, you also need to incentivize yourself. Treat yourself to your favorite coffee or tea on your way to work. Schedule something nice after work, like a dinner night out or catching a movie with your boyfriend/girlfriend or your friends. You'll also need to find your way to work so that it's easier for you in the future.
5. Treat it as like a real job.
If you want your superiors and colleagues to take you seriously, you need to take the job seriously. To make full potential of an internship regardless of the pay, hardship and workload, they should treat their internship like their normal job. Be focus and know what to do. As you are in an active, fast pace, real-world environment, your contributions are equally important compared to other full-time workers and you must constantly upgrade yourself and learn in order to keep up or else your mistakes might affect your other colleagues.
Singapore internship is really hard because you're restricted to different kinds of choices. But not to worry, you're here to learn and experience, not to fool around and wait for money to drop from the sky.
I hope this post really helps you! Be motivated and fight for your success!

MARBELLA Council has announced that as of Sunday March 20, 2016, people who enjoy swimming on Marbella's beaches will be able to do so more safely, as for the first time the lifeguards will start working full time.
Following last year's tragedy on Venus beach in Marbella when two students and their teacher died in strong currents, as reported by the Euro Weekly News in April 2015, criticisms were levied at the local council for not having sufficient lifeguard coverage during the low season.
Andrew Broughton was the British tourist who, realising something was wrong, launched himself into the sea in a heroic attempt to save their lives, nearly losing his into the bargain. In an exclusive interview with the EWN at the time, he and his wife Michelle expressed their dumfounded outrage at the fact that there were no lifeguards on duty.
Marbella Council later explained that during the summer season, a full-time presence of lifeguards and safety equipment is always in force on the beaches, but, in the low seasons there is only cover at the weekends.
However, this year it would appear things will be different. The council said: "Last year, the lifeguard service was started up by Easter, but the difference was that during April the lifeguards only worked weekends, while in 2016 there will be lifeguards also during the week."
Councillor Miguel Diaz went on to add: "From March 20, to the end of September, although the number of staff may vary depending on the public numbers, there will be a full-time presence on the beaches. In addition, there will be improvements in the facilities and the organisation of the teams."
Andrew Broughton told Euro Weekly News: "I am so happy to see that changes have been made that will make it safer on the beaches for everyone from now on, I'll always remember those poor boys, but I hope their loss will save the lives of many others for years to come."

Sister Jan Marie Villalobos, who is originally from the California SND Province, now serves at DCCH Center for Children and Families in Fort Mitchell, KY.
Sr. Jan Marie Villalobos SND is a '76 alumna of Notre Dame Academy (California). Sr. Jan Marie felt an interior calling to religious life in the second grade at St. Augustine Elementary in Culver City, CA. As she says, "I had a feeling of being called to religious life when I was in the second grade at a school Mass. The community aspect was solidifying. I had confidence that God was going to take care of me."
She had many encounters with the SNDs during her formative years of high school, having been taught by Sr. Joanne Wittenberg (Social Studies), Sr. Antonine Manning (Biology), Sr. Sheila Fay (Psychology), Sr. Richardlyn Jones (Math) and the late Sr. Carlann Paganelli (Religion).
Sr. Jan Marie went on an overnight visit to the SND community in Hidden Valley, affectionally called "The Ranch" in those days. Her most distinctive memory of the time spent with the sisters was their community life. She asked to join the congregation on May 13--the day when each sister received her yearly ministry assignment--a very fitting time to express her desire to become an SND! After graduating from Notre Dame Academy, she entered the convent and made her first vows in 1979.
Sr. Jan Marie graduated from Cal State Northridge with a B.A. in Liberal Studies. In her years of ministry, Sr. Jan Marie has had the opportunity to touch many lives: as a Eucharistic Minister to the sick, a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, and a tutor for "School on Wheels," an organization that educates children living in homeless shelters. She also served as emergency night manager for survivors of human trafficking in Los Angeles County through CAST (Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking).
While attending an SND leadership meeting in Kentucky in 2011, Sr. Anncarla Costello, provincial superior, toured the DCCH Center for Children & Families (formerly known as the Diocesan Catholic Children's Home). Since 1848, this agency has served more than 3,500 children in Northern Kentucky, providing healing and therapeutic care to children who are wards of the state. Sr. Anncarla knew that this ministry would resonate with Sr. Jan Marie's compassionate heart—and the rest is history.
The state refers an average of 300 children (from infancy to age 17) each month to DCCH for foster care or adoption. Regularly, the DCCH residential treatment facility hosts 40 children between the ages of 6 and 15. As an outreach worker, Sr. Jan Marie recruits foster families and other volunteers. She works directly with the children by tutoring, supporting equine therapy, gardening, playing sports, supervising and providing transportation.
Sr. Jan Marie experiences many aspects of the SND spirit and mission as she connects her religious vocation to her everyday duties at the Center. "The SND spirit and mission have always been centered on concern and care for the needy and the poor. And that is at the heart of everyone at DCCH."

As far as I am concerned traditional databases like SQL suffer from the fact that the data stored in an individual column is incredible simple - I can store an integer/string/... in a column but these are incredibly simple data structures. I want to store and retrieve incredibly complicated things - how do I store an XML parse tree in a single cell of a database? - How do I store a database in a database ... In a decent K-V database the value of the key can be *anything* - an entire database for example, a compiler, ... no worries Then when I analyse my problem I start thinking "I can store and retrieve any complex object that keys do I need to solve my problem?" I'm not thinking in terms of joins and normalizing things - the thought process is different - so far I haven't met any problems that don't map onto key-values queries. It seems to my that SQL provides you with the ability do to complex queries on simple things. K-V dbs can do simple queries on complex things. /Joe > > Sorry for such simple and general questions.

To the Editor:
As St. Louis Park seriously considers adopting ranked-choice voting, I would like to reassure anyone who thinks it's "too complicated" to use.
I recently had the opportunity to use ranked-choice voting at a party. Our group used ranking ballots to choose the best pizza and wine and, not only was it fun, it was beyond easy. A representative from FairVote Minnesota attended to explain how the ballots should be counted and (even after drinking a little wine) that was incredibly straightforward and easy to understand, too.
Please don't be convinced by people who are opposed to change that ranked-choice voting is complicated or "too hard" for voters to understand and use. Not only is that insulting, it simply is not true.

By Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, NACCHO President and Executive Director of Harris County Public Health in Houston, Texas
The oral cavity, including the teeth and surrounding structures, are necessary for adequate nutrition, proper speech and a positive self-image. Although tooth decay is largely preventable, it continues to be the most common chronic disease of early childhood.1 Dental health can impact school performance when a child has untreated tooth decay with resulting pain that affects their ability to concentrate, sleep at night or even attend school, "more than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental related illness."2 Taxpayers share approximately 11% of the $113.5 billion spent nationally on dental care expenditures, a percentage that has increased over the years as dental care utilization continues to increase among children.3 Children with cavities in their primary (baby) teeth are three times more likely to develop cavities in their permanent (adult) teeth which could contribute to broader health problems including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.4
All year long, many local health departments work to ensure children have access to quality oral health care. February is Children's Dental Health Month, a time to spread awareness of good oral health habits and highlight the importance of beginning and maintaining oral hygiene in the early childhood years as soon as the first tooth appears.
Start Oral Care Early
In children, maintaining oral health is critical, even before adult teeth begin to form. The way in which primary or "baby" teeth are cared for shapes the way permanent teeth develop, making it important for children to learn effective oral health habits early. The type of care primary teeth receive can affect a child's speech development, how they chew, and their confidence. Cavities are very common among children in the U.S. Untreated cavities lead to infections that can cause difficulties with eating, speaking, and even learning. A more serious and painful consequence of improper maintenance of primary teeth is formation of an abscess. When an abscess occurs, pus accumulates in a cavity to block an infection from spreading. This accumulation typically causes swelling and can be very painful.5
Making Oral Health a Priority for Children with Special Healthcare Needs
Over ten million children in the U.S. have special healthcare needs.6 Oral healthcare has been identified as one of the most common unfulfilled requirements among children with special healthcare needs (CSHN). Over the years, healthcare and public health professionals, lawmakers, and other advocates have been working to improve access to oral healthcare for CSHN.
NACCHO hosted a webinar titled, "Oral Health Considerations for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs," which focused on oral health problems in CSHN, identified barriers to care, and brainstormed ways to address needs. The webinar also highlighted state and local examples that are working to improve the oral health of CSHN.
Local Health Departments Bridge Access to Dental Care
Luckily, cavities and other oral diseases are preventable through daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, dental sealants, fluoride varnishing, and fluoridated tap water. Local health departments across the nation are playing their part in promoting good oral health through dental care services and programs.
In 2017, the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) in New York won NACCHO's Model Practices Award for their initiative to implement a fluoride varnish program in 100% of pediatric primary care practices in the county for children under the age of five. Their goal was to decrease the number of early childhood cavities and prevent developmental delays, diseases, self-esteem issues, and the prevalence of tooth decay in adulthood. CCHD staff worked with the New York State Association of County Health Officials to learn an overview of implementing a fluoride varnish program including application and billing. Once CCHD staff was trained, 100% of the pediatric provider offices were trained on screening, assessment, proper application, possible barriers, billing, and research, and all agreed to implement fluoride varnish application in their practice.
In Tioga County, NY, the Tioga County Health Department established a school-based mobile dental services program, designed to provide preventive and restorative dental care for underserved children and adults who lack insurance and access to a dental provider. Throughout the school year, the mobile unit travels to schools throughout the county and in the summer, it is stationed at a community center. Mobile unit dental staff perform exams, cleanings, fillings, x-rays, sealants, extractions, and fluoride treatments. Since the program's inception, thousands of clients have received dental care through this program, many of whom had Medicaid, CHIP, or no insurance at all.
Throughout Harris County, TX the Harris County Public Health (HCPH) Dental Health and Prevention Services utilizes a multifaceted programming approach to improve the oral health of children. The dental programming includes: dental clinical services for children, adolescents and expectant mothers; a population based oral health education and promotion program that reaches 15 school districts and over 300 schools each year and a school-based early prevention program which provides oral health education, oral assessments, fluoride varnish treatments, referrals and case management to thousands of children in underserved populations throughout Harris County. Recently HCPH embarked on this mission of "taking public health to the public" and acquired several mobile units that can provide a variety of public health services and education where people live, learn work, worship and play. Our Mobile Dental Unit will allow increased opportunities to provide access to dental care for children and promote the importance of oral health at community events.
NACCHO and CDC Launch Joint Local Water Fluoridation Project
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says, "Children living in communities with fluoridated tap water have fewer cavities than children whose water is not fluoridated."1 Water fluoridation can be delivered to whole communities regardless of income level or access to oral care. In January 2017, NACCHO, together with the CDC, launched a program called, "Building Capacity for Oral Health: Fluoridation Equipment in Local Communities," which offers funding and technical assistance to support the replacement of aging water fluoridation equipment or the installation of new equipment. Nearly 30 organizations across 13 states applied, signifying the need for the project. Ultimately, six applicants were awarded based on their community's need. In all, the oral health of nearly 450,000 people will be positively affected. In October 2017, NACCHO and CDC opened another round of funding for community water fluoridation systems. A total of 17 organizations were awarded funding, furthering efforts in providing communities with fluoridated water, thus improving and maintaining oral health.
Preventing Oral Health Problems
While public health professionals and policymakers work to address barriers in access to dental care, parents and caregivers can prevent oral health problems in their children by ensuring they drink fluoridated water, applying fluoride varnish and dental sealants to teeth, and simply brushing with fluoridated toothpaste. This National Children's Dental Health Month, let's champion optimal oral health among all children and promote healthy dental habits, so that America's children have equal opportunities for success.

Dimethyl Silicone Fluids Properties
Dimethyl silicone fluids are unlike other fluids. Organic hydrocarbon fluids have a backbone of carbon-to-carbon atoms, while silicone fluids have a backbone of silicon-oxygen. The Si-O linkages are like high-temperature inorganic materials such as glass, sand and quartz. The bond energy of a silicon-oxygen bond is much greater than that of a carbon-carbon bond. This makes silicone much more stable and less susceptible to extreme temperatures, sheer stresses, chemicals and oxidation.
This unique chemical structure gives silicone fluids many properties which makes them suitable for many applications where other fluids won't work. Some of the extraordinary properties of dimethyl silicone fluids are:
- Thermal Stability: Silicone fluids are extremely stable when exposed to high temperatures for extended lengths of time.
- Chemical Inertness: Silicone fluids are chemically inert to most common materials of construction.
- Wide Temperature Range: Low temperature limits and high temperature capabilities of silicone fluids far exceed those of conventional fluids.
- Low Viscosity Temperature Range: Silicone fluids have less viscosity change over a wider temperature range than non-silicone fluids.
- Thermal Conductivity: The thermal conductivity of silicone fluids over a wide temperature range is comparable to hydrocarbon fluids.
- Non-Corrosive: Silicone fluids contain no acid producing chemicals to cause staining or corrosion.
- Low Flammability: Flash points in the range of 400ºF to 500ºF and auto‐ignition temperatures in the range of 820ºF to 860ºF are typical for silicone fluids.
- Low Surface Tension: Silicone fluids have unusually low surface tensions, which help provide easy and efficient spreading.
- Lubrication Properties: Dimethyl fluids are the best lubricants in rubber or plastic‐to‐metal applications.
- Oxidation Stability: The oxidation stability of silicone fluids is excellent.
- Water Repellant: Silicone fluids are characterized by a very good water repellency.
Dimethyl silicone fluids are excellent for use as hydraulic or transformer oils, damping liquids, diffusion pump fluids, thermally resistant lubricants, dielectrics, defoamers and release agents for high-performance digital printing machines. They can also be used for water resistant treatment of glass and mineral wool. Other important applications are found in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the textile industry.

Area Sport Fishing Reports
North Gulf Coast \ Resurrection Bay
September 17, 2019
Fall Fishing Report
Saltwater Fishing
- King salmon fishing has slowed.
- Don't forget, the king salmon limit in Resurrection Bay is currently one per day and one in possession (September 1 - April 30) any size. There is no annual or seasonal king salmon limit in effect, and there is no king salmon harvest reporting requirement, but a king salmon stamp is required. Starting May 1 - August 31, the bag limit goes up to two per day and two in possession.
- Coho salmon continue to be caught and fishing has been fair to good. Shore anglers near the outfall of the Seward Lagoon are finding a few more fish. If you are out fishing by boat, try a mix of mooching and trolling with different set ups. The jellyfish have made things challenging this season.
- Don't forget, the coho salmon bag limit outside of Resurrection Bay is three per day and three in possession and inside Resurrection Bay is six per day and six in possession. Anglers that have caught six cohos inside Resurrection Bay may not leave the bay.
- Halibut are federally managed by NOAA. Make sure you know the regulations.
- Lingcod fishing opened on July 1 and closes on December 31. Fishing for lingcod has been good this year.
- Remember, Resurrection Bay is closed to fishing for lingcod.
- Bag limits for lingcod are only one per day and in possession. Remember, the minimum size to retain a lingcod is 35 inches with the head attached (or 28 inches with the head removed). Don't use a gaff to puncture any fish you think you might release.
- Rockfish limits year-round are four fish per day and eight in possession of which only one per day and two in possession can be a nonpelagic rockfish.
- Effective January 2020, the use of a deepwater release mechanism will be required to be onboard all vessels fishing statewide and they must be used to release rockfish at depth of capture or 100 feet, whichever is shallower.
- Check out the ADF&G Rockfish Conservation webpage.
- Having trouble identifying the species of rockfish you caught? Check out our rockfish ID sheet for the more commonly captured rockfish. You can also check out NOAA's in-depth rockfish identification page.
Other Saltwater Fishing
- Hooligan dipnetting is closed. It will reopen in the spring on April 1, 2020.
- The personal use season for shrimp fishing with pot gear in the North Gulf Coast area waters is open from April 15 through September 15. A permit is required to participate in this fishery and is different than the Prince William Sound Shrimp Permit. Do not forget to report your harvest.
Freshwater Fishing
Rainbow Trout/Dolly Varden
- Dolly Varden move into the creeks this time of the year. Especially creeks where pinks and chum salmon will be spawning. Casting small spinners or spoons can provide some good action.
- If you are fly fishing, egg patterns are good to use in Seward area streams during the fall.
- A portion of the Resurrection River freshwaters are open to coho salmon fishing. Fishing has been good but watch for the sign designating freshwater.
Local Lakes
- Troop Lake is a nice hike and fly-fishing option off the beaten path. Anglers have been reporting good success in this lake with both flies and spinners.
- First Lake is a fun one right in Seward. It will be stocked again in May 2020.
Emergency Orders
Please review the Emergency Orders and News Releases in their entirety before heading out on your next fishing trip.
- There are currently no Emergency Orders for the North Gulf Coast Management Area.
This is the last fishing report for the 2019 fishing season. This fishing report will be updated when additional information is available. For current seasonal information, please contact the ADF&G Anchorage Sport Fish Information Center at (907) 267-2218.

L.A. Louver is pleased to announce our representation of Heather Gwen Martin with an exhibition of new works by the Los Angeles-based artist.
Born in 1977 in Saskatchewan, Canada, Heather Gwen Martin studied at the University of California, San Diego and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While a student in art school, Martin was employed as a comic book colorist, rendering color onto scenes and characters using computer technology. This experience had a profound effect on her painting. Unlike working on a computer screen, she found an intimacy and sincerity in the act of painting, a process that cannot be measured or replicated through technological means. It is this human connectedness to the medium that continues to propel her work forward.
Heather Gwen Martin's vividly colored abstract paintings stem from a controlled fluidity, dictated by a transference of energy directly onto the canvas. Martin begins by making a series of preparatory sketches with pencil on paper, the physical movements of her hand gestures inform the painting's trajectory. Thereafter, the artist prepares her paints which she mixes and records with precision. After a wash of color is applied to the background, Martin formalizes the composition with various biomorphic forms, interspersed amongst delicately sinuous lines. At times, the forms take shape from concrete references, other times they emerge from a response to something imagined. Supple traversing lines serve to move the eye in and around the suspended shapes.
One of the largest works in the exhibition, Crosscurrent (2015), utilizes subdued tonalities to portray a sense of depth. A cool gray background recedes behind a pale yellow globule and soft pink configurations, while red, green and black shapes and lines interweave to push elements forward. In another work on view, Breezy (2016), a large green and small orange form project from a fluorescent red background, and are seemingly held in place by swooping lines and elongated shapes rendered in a light blue (almost white) tone. Stark black forms and lines punctuate the scene, altogether creating a sweeping energy indicative of its title.
The interplay of color and form are key in dictating the tone of the works. Certain colors reverberate in contrast to each other, while similar tones unify to draw out subtleties. The compositional elements are reliant on Martin's instinctual response to bring the imagery forth.
Heather Gwen Martin has been included in museum exhibitions at the Rice University Art Gallery, Houston, TX; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, CA; Torrance Art Museum, CA; El Segundo Museum of Art, CA; and Pizzuti Collection, Columbus, OH. In 2013, the artist was included in the L.A. Louver group show "Rogue Wave Projects 2013," as part of the gallery's ongoing curatorial initiative to celebrate emerging art. In 2014, L.A. Louver presented a solo exhibition of her work. This marks the artist's second solo show at L.A. Louver.

How Does the Ram Lineup Compare to the Competition?
If you're shopping around for a new pickup, you have likely found that your options are endless. Will you drive a full-size or a heavy-duty truck? Do you need a crew cab or a regular cab? Which brand will you ultimately pick from? Unless you're a brand-loyalist, it's difficult to make a decision unless you compare it to your other options. To help you make the difficult decision, we have gathered a few reasons why you may elect to shop from the Ram lineup over the Ford, Toyota and GMC lineup.
Compare the Ram Lineup to the Toyota, Ford and GMC Lineup
Trim Levels and Configurations: When it comes to finding the perfect truck, the Ram lineup boasts at least eight trim options for each of its models. That's more trims than the Ford, Toyota and the GMC lineups offer. With so many options to choose from, you should be able to find a Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 that complements your budget and personal preferences.
Capability: Whether you're traveling to the worksite or the campsite, hauling and towing is essential for getting the job done. The Ram 1500 base trim, for example, is suited for any job with the ability to tow up to 10,650 pounds. The Ford F-150 base trim, on the other hand, can only tow 7,600 pounds. If you need a pickup truck with exceptional towing capabilities, we recommend taking a closer look at the Ram lineup to see what it can do for you.
Competitive Fuel Economy: When it comes to fuel economy, the Ram lineup surpasses the competition. The Ram 1500, for instance, delivers up to 21 city, 29 highway mpg. The GMC Sierra 1500 only gets up to 18 city, 24 highway mpg; the Ford F-150 only gets 19 city, 26 highway mpg and the Toyota Tundra comes in last with up to 15 city, 19 highway mpg.
Explore the Ram Lineup at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Billings
Here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Billings, we're home to a great selection of new Ram models. Browse our selection below, and consider joining us at our 2229 King Avenue West location where we proudly serve drivers from Bozeman MT, Sheridan, WY, Cody WY & Miles City MT.

Good Friday, 19th April: 5pm
Location: Claddagh Quay / Community Hall, Galway
Tickets not needed. Free event. Just pop along!
Cutting the Ribbon & Blessing of the Boat
Refreshments & Entertainment
Bring Pot Luck Picnic (bring something to share)
A group of dedicated boat-builders and volunteers have lovingly spent the last five months restoring a beautiful Galway Hooker: The 'Lovely Anne'. As part of a series of celebratory events, they are delighted to officially launch her into the water at Claddagh Quay, on Good Friday.
Organised by Galway Hooker 2020, Bádóirí an Cladaig and the wider Claddagh community, this group of sailors, fishers & boat-builders are delighted to invite all of Galway's diverse communities to come together to support and share this historical occasion.
During this family event you will experience a traditional blessing of the boat, a cutting the ribbon ceremony, as well as have a chance to be photographed with the Lovely Anne and talk to the team of boat-builders.
The Lovely Anne: This 137 year-old workboat was built in 1882 by Galway boat-wright, Patrick Brannelly (famous for building An Tónaí & the Morning Star). She has a fascinating story.After being part of Galway's hooker fleet in the early 1900s she was sold over 46 years ago in Spiddal to Jim Parkinson, who fished her for many years. Later he relocated to Killybegs, Co. Donegal and the boat has been in his possession ever since.Last year (2018) Ross Forde (Brannelly's Great-Great Grandson) brought the boat back to Galway, and on Friday she will officially join the rest of Galway's famous hooker fleet.
A New Era: "Not only is this an incredibly moving story of bringing our Galway heritage back to life, we are extremely delighted to also announce that the Lovely Anne is now our dedicated training vessel. We will be offering Hooker skills training classes for adults and children throughout 2019," says Skipper Ciaran Oliver.
"We very much hope that you will be able to join us for this unique moment in history, where the old meets the new – where our Claddagh heritage engages a whole new generation of people who love ocean living as much as we do".
