We are lucky to be on holiday in October. It means less tourists and in my opinion, more fun and relaxing. The sun started to shine when we finished our breakfast. We went to Cala Violina, this is a beautiful, white sandy beach. To reach this – more or less hidden – beach, we had to leave the main road. We drove on a dusty, rocky road that leads to a parking where you have to pay during high season. From there, we had to walk for 25 minutes through nice woods (and follow the signs). And then we saw the beautiful blue sea. And some rubbish on the beach. It is a shame that some people throw their garbage on the ground, even if there are trashcans around!
Rocky beach: Cala Martina
After some relaxing swimming and reading, my wife and I packed our stuff and walked for 1,5 hours. We checked out Cala Martina (a neighbouring beach) but it looked less nice because it is a rocky beach. In the far horizon, we could see the island of Elba.
After some relaxing swimming and reading, my wife and I packed our stuff and walked for 1,5 hours. We checked out Cala Martina (a neighbouring beach) but it looked less nice because it is a rocky beach. In the far horizon, we could see the island of Elba.
After our beach experience, we had lunch at Follonica in a nice looking restaurant: Scalo Del Granduca. The restaurant was about to close for the afternoon, but we were just in time to have some pizza. The service was friendly and the location is in the city centre. We sat outside on a roofed terrace. The pizza was nice, but nothing special. The price for a pizza just is 6 euro. As in any restaurant, we had to pay for our cutlery. We rate the restaurant with a seven.
My wife and I like Follonica, because of the local feel. We didn't see any tourists at all. I guess in summer, this will be different. We will go back to this town to try another restaurant.
Massa Marittima
From Follonica, we drove to Massa Marittima. This medieval village is located on a hill. It's not as popular as Montalcino, but I think it is more beautiful and cozy. It was nice to walk in the small streets to the main square with beautiful authentic buildings from the Middle Ages. After an hour, we drove to Piombino to check out the boat ticket prices to Elba. We thought it was too expensive for just a one-day trip and decided not to go.
Piombino is a city near the coast, surrounded by heavy industry. The centre of the town looked very cozy and there were many people on the street. We decided to have dinner here and checked out some restaurants on Tripadvisor. We selected one restaurant and entered its address in our car navigator, which led us outside of town. This wasn't exactly our idea, but we were curious where we would finish.
Restaurant at the beach
We arrived in the darkness at Il Pino, a beach restaurant. We were litterally next to the water, and its little waves smashed against the rocks on which the restaurant is built. From our seats on the outside terrace, we saw the lights of the surrounding coastal towns. Nice! But we also saw the thunder and lightning coming closer. As an appetizer, we shared the 'antipasto mare'. And then we started to feel some rain drops and finished our main courses inside: Spaghetti Pino and Risotto Mar. The service was fine, and the food simple. I think my risotto tasted better than their specialty of the house. We rate this place with a seven out of ten, mostly because of its great location near the sea.
Big thunderstorm again
After we arrived in our hotel, the biggest thunderstorm ever burst out. We looked at the intense flashes from our hotel-room windows. It was exiting, but also a bit scary.

Ok I'm seeing people who are making comments that make it very clear that they are not paying close enough attention to what is going on with the #TPP right now. Yes, the official push on the TPP failed last week, but the new bill they are trying to pass this Tuesday (the TAA) would grant fast-track authority on ALL agreements for 6 years! This inherently includes the #TPP, #TTIP and #TISA. They don't care how they get fast-track authority as long as they get it. If you see people making comments claiming that the fast-track battle is over, please correct them. We're about to get blind sided with this if we don't get the message out.
"You may have heard about the failed attempt to pass "Fast Track" authority for the TPP in the House on Friday, June 12th. The public applied pressure and they backed down. You may have assumed that we would have a few months of breathing room before they made another attempt. However it turns out that Congress isn't even going to wait a full week for round two.
According to senator Jeff Sessions, there is upcoming vote on Tuesday June 17th, for a bill called the TAA. Hidden in the TAA is a provision which would grant the president fast-track authority on any and all trade agreements for a period of six years. This would inherently include the TPP, TTIP and TISA."

BMG [Double CD/4 vinyl 180gm LPS Release date 17.11.17]
British metal legends Saxon, still going strong, released what is considered the first album of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal genre. Originally called Son Of A Bitch, the band formed when Sob (of the Free album, featuring guitarist Graham Oliver and bassist Steve Dawson) and Coast (guitarist Paul Quinn and bassist Biff Byford) came together. Changing their name to Saxon, and Biff dropping the bass, they released their eponymous debut in 1979.
Saxon's sound has moved from punk tinged NWoBHM to classic British Metal, and in latter years has embraced power metal, rock'n'roll and even a tinge of prog metal.
Demon have done a wonderful job of the 1991-2009 albums, which includes some of my favourite Saxon material. On the eve of a reissue campaign of their first 10 years (hence the album's title 'Decade Of The Eagle'), we get a double CD highlighting the years 1979 to 1988 from BMG.
That debut is represented by four tracks, 'Stallions Of The Highway', 'Big Teaser' and 'Backs To The Wall' and 'Militia Guard'. Fantastic tracks but a little rough and ready. It wasn't until the second album 'Wheels Of Steel' that we got that classic sound, a genre defining album. The title track is so popular it's becoming over played, but will forever have fans. 'Strong Arm Of The Law' was equally enthusiastic, the title track (one of a couple tracks here), if a little stripped down.
'Denim And Leather' (my fave of the era), the title track was about the NWoBHM itself. It wasn't well received in some quarters but it is still a classic.
With new drummer Nigel Glockler on board,' Power And The Glory' was another fantastic performance, but for me personally it is one of the weaker of the mid 80s. Better was 'Crusader', one of the bands best selling. A couple of songs like title here show the album's best side. The NWoBHM sound was gone, a bit of polish.
A move to Parlophone and 'Innocence Is No Excuse', the last album with founding bassist Dawson. It's one of the band's most commercial albums but should not be overlooked. Just check out 'Broken Heroes' and 'Rockin' Again' for some of Saxon's best material.
'Rock The Nations' was a bit of a down turn, the band's chemistry not working out. Although Paul Johnson was credited, Biff Byford played the bass parts on the album; the title track features some great guitar work and the single 'Northern Lady' features pianist Elton John.
This set finishes with the album 'Destiny', now with drummer Nigel Durham. It's good, solid, commercial, but widely considered one of Saxon's weakest. The cover of Christopher Cross's 'Ride Like The Wind' is still a classic though.
While every band have those who swear by the early material only, but Saxon over and above every other rock and metal band have the quality and consistency of catalogue throughout their history to explore, and they do. That said, the first 10 years of Saxon's career is to wonder and behold, and to be cherished too. This is a fine introduction and one does have to await the forthcoming repackages with anticipation that leaves a very warm glow. ****1/2

Course ObjectiveAt the end of the course, students should be able to:
• Get insight into the tasks and challenges that CEOs of
multinational firms are facing in their day-to-day work as a strategy
• Bridge theory and practice by being able to relate popular
management frameworks to strategic challenges that company leaders
• Critically reflect on the interrelationships between the various
strategic tasks of CEOs and how they can be successfully orchestrated.
These objectives will further develop various skills students had to
master in the first two years of the program:
• Linking theory and concepts to practice;
• Gaining in-depth knowledge of the field of strategy.
The course focuses primarily on the following overall learning
objectives in line with the IBA bachelor programme:
• Academic and research skills in analysis, abstraction, argumentation,
• Bridging theory and practice with ability to translate and apply
theoretical knowledge into business situations.
• Broadening students horizons by having a good understanding of
current events on a global scale.
Course ContentThe course aims to familiarize the student with three important
themes relevant for the strategic management of a firm from a behavioral
perspective. It discusses protocols for strategy (scenario planning),
for investing and for performance management. It aims to put
students into the position of a CEO and expose them to those issues a
CEO needs to deal with in a strategic manner. The session making up this
course will each deal with a particular strategic question that
addresses a broader theme, such as: How to gain an sustain a competitive
advantage? (strategic positioning); In which markets to compete?
(internationalization strategy); How to grow and expand our business?
(M&A strategy); How to be successful and sustainable? (sustainability
strategy); How to meet the challenges of the digital age?
(digitalization strategy); How to manage relations with the board of
directors? (corporate governance strategy); How to be a good leader?
(leadership strategy). Students will learn to take a birds-eye point of
view and discuss how these strategic issues are interrelated and
together comprise the building blocks of corporate strategy. Three
practical tools help accomplish this goal: Scenarioplanning, value based
investing and Organizational Behavior Management (OBM).
Invited guest speakers (CEOs) will allow students to be further exposed
to real-life challenges of strategic management. Students will further
be asked to examine critically the work (and strategy making) of one
famous CEO of their choice (such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc.) based
on publicly available data such as speeches and videos, and relate the
CEOs behaviour to the strategic management approaches discussed in
class. Findings will be presented during classes in teams.

I had the pleasure of working with David, who created a website for our international research project. David is an efficient worker and a great communicator. Moreover, he is organized and always looking for creative solutions, which resulted in an excellent online platform for us to present our work. I highly recommend David's services to anyone!
David designed and implemented tailor-made websites for me, one for my academic profile and the other for a research project. They both presented great learning experiences with fantastic results. He made sure that he knew exactly what I had in mind right down to the smallest detail and kept on revising it until we both were happy with the website design. His professionalism, creativity and technical capacity is a unique combination!
David did a terrific job modernising and redesigning our website. David's use of social media was very effective and has led to a huge increase of traffic to our website. David is very flexible and always reacts promptly. He also did a magnificent job in designing our Handbook for Governing Hyper-diverse Cities.

PG Sessions features Psalmos performing her new and latest single 'Miracle Working God'. This powerful song has been a great blessing and a faith strengthener to so many that nothing is impossible and difficult for God to do.
Just as this song has been a blessing to others,she was not left out of the power of healing that came through the song.
This song was composed in the face of hard challenges that the devil thought would weigh her down and steal away that which she has been given to fulfill purpose but with the help of grace and strength from above,she was able to pull through the storm and the "Miracle Working God" did great wonders in her life beyond all expectations.

Hawaii Travel Tips
The Hawaiian Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the center of the Pacific Ocean, is an extraordinary destination where you can relax in a paradise of golden beaches, gushing waterfalls, and tropical flowers.

Me and the missus have fixed our much delayed honeymoon and have decided on 3 nights in Miami followed by a beach resort week utilising my 7-night travel package certificate. I've already asked for guidance on the 7 nights but felt like I needed some guidance on the Miami bit of the honeymoon.
We've already decided against the Miami beach properties as we want this part to be an urban break, the beach relaxing thing comes later. The Residence Inn, Springhill Suites and Courtyard brands are not honeymoon-ish enough and as we don't have a car the JW Miami is too far out. That leaves us with:
1. JW Beaux, I've excluded that as its not part of Marriott Rewards any longer. No night credit and no points... No thanks!!!! It is actually the top 4 floors of the JW Marquis. Rated number 1 on Tripadvisor
2. JW Marquis, at the southerly end of the downtown district and rated number 2 on TripAdvisor. Reviews vacillate between "The best hotel in America" /"Best hotel experience of my life" - no kidding, some of the reviews are astonishing - through to "Overated & Overpriced" with significant numbers complaining about the lack of elavators resulting in very lengthy waits and a poorly positioned pool that catches little sunlight.
3. Marriott Biscayne Bay, at the northerly end of the downtown district next to a marina and rated number 20 on TripAdvisor. It seems to be in a nicer area and is somewhat cheaper, but not enough to colour my choice. The reviews are mostly complimentary, whinges tend to be minor. It seems a solid hotel.
We are looking to enjoy Miami's downtown vibe and tourist attractions for this portion of the stay and would ideally like to be in easy walking distance of several bars and restaurants and easy reach of the monorail to help us get around. The difference in TripAdvisor rankings doesn't really bother me, but I'm kinda impressed by the many opinions that so hugely rate the JW. Is it really that exceptional? If it's location is inconvenient is the hotel as a big slice of Americana hotelier-ship actually worth the inconvenience. In short, Is the JW Marriott Marquis THAT GOOD?
So opinions please on these 2 hotels and while we're at it any "not to be missed" tourist attractions in Miami, or exceptional restaurants and bars we should try and fit in. All contributions gratefully received...

Room for Lulu to Have an Impact?
This article recounts how copyright problems have apparently gotten out of control vis a vis George Orwell's opus of books thanks to the willy-nilly way in which self-publishing through Amazon has played havoc with quality control:
Orwell resurfaced in 2014 during Amazon's bare-knuckles fight with the publisher Hachette over e-book sales. Amazon tried to use a quotation by the author — renowned for his moral rectitude — to suggest he was a sleaze in favor of illegal collusion. It turned out the quote was very much out of context.
My newly acquired Orwell shelf was frankly dismal — typos galore, flap copy lifted directly from Wikipedia, covers that screamed "amateur." Eleven of the books were sold directly by Amazon as new books and were shipped from an Amazon warehouse; one was sold as a new book by a third party. Prices ranged from $3 to $23.
The counterfeits and imports are generally the least expensive editions, and who can blame people for buying those? So they do. A $7.99 legitimate edition of "1984" was recently ranked at No. 72 among all Amazon books. A $5 Indian import was at No. 970, which suggested copies were selling at a steady clip.
Most of the distorted texts are likely due to ignorance and sloppiness but at their most radical the books try to improve Orwell, as with the unauthorized "high school edition" of his 1933 memoir. The editing was credited to a Moira Propreat. She could not be reached for comment; in fact, her existence could not be verified.
"Down and Out" is an unflinching look at brutal behavior among starving people, which makes Ms. Propreat's self-appointed task of rendering the book "more palatable" rather quixotic. An example of her handiwork came when Charlie, a boastful rapist, described how he lured a young woman into his clutches:
"'Come here, my chicken,' I called to her."
Ms. Propreat's version:
"'Come here,' I called to her."
It's unlikely that Orwell, a finicky master of English prose, would have appreciated this editing — nor the fact that all the French in the book is rendered in capital letters, which makes it seem like the writer is shouting at the reader.
Until recently, improving Orwell was not a practical business proposition. Then Amazon blew the doors off the heavily curated literary world. No longer was access to the marketplace determined by publishers, booksellers or reviewers. Even the most marginal books were suddenly available to everyone everywhere.
Breaking down the doors, however, also let in people who did not appear to care about the quality of what they sell. . . .
Perhaps this is a place where an innovative self-publishing platform can pioneer some stronger controls? Or is digital publishing inherently incapable of editorial/publisher curation?
Using Orwell as an example, the 75 year rule applies to Copyright (and his rights belong to a Holding Company.) One problem is that even though that 75 rule is the case, many old classics appear on sites as free e-book downloads, often just in Txt, which often results in people thinking they have the right to republish them, and make a load of dosh. That resulted in 100s of books being placed on to Amazon, etc., of the same stories. Copyright aside, Amazon decided it was time to delete most if not all of them, leaving mainly the legitimate publishers on line.0 · Share on Twitter
It's hard to imagine how Lulu, which is essentially just a book production facility, can oversee things like copyright and quality of text...or even why it should. Editorial/publisher curation is the responsibility of the editor/publisher of a book...and Lulu is neither of these. Expecting Lulu to take on such responsibility would be like Simon & Schuster blaming the company it contracts to print and bind its books for not overseeing the content of those books.
(By the way, when I placed a large number of public domain science fiction classics on line via Baen Books, Amazon required that they have some additional value added---for instance, an introduction, biographical information, etc.)
Yes it is difficult to see where Lulu could offer a fix. Still, this article points up a problem with P.O.D. and I would think that if someone could they might fill a gap which Amazon has failed to do, thus gaining more credibility for their brand in this field than say some of their competitors can claim. But I don't have a solution, just raising the question!0 · Share on Twitter
There might be something Amazon could do regarding reprints of public domain material (which they already do to a degree).
This does point up the value traditional publishers brought to the table, namely the capacity to vet what is published. When they were the only channel, other than expensive and easily recognizable vanity press output, for publishing, prospective readers had pretty good reason to presume that when they bought a published a book it met some basic standards of quality. Of course, there were sloppy commercial publishers, too, and what got published that way was often of mediocre quality (even allowing for the subjectivity that factors into such quality judgments).
Still, a traditionally published book, at least in our modern era (not applicable more than a century ago, of course, before standards in the industry became more rigorous!) could be expected to have been decently edited (if not perfectly so) and to pass muster in the "read" (even if one didn't necessarily find it aesthetically satisfying oneself -- there are many sorts of tastes in one's literature, after all). But the advent of POD, while opening the possibility of publishing to more of us (many of whom had been unable to secure a commercial publisher) and enabling us to capture more of the revenue generated (if we could do an effective job of promotion and our book caught on) while also giving us more control (for better or worse), produced serious changes in the industry as we can all see.
But the POD publishing innovation is a sword that cuts both ways, not only allowing a lot of less-than-optimally written and produced books to enter the marketplace but also flooding the marketplace in a way that makes competition for readership a little harder.
And now we see this other problem that it's hard to control for quality in reprints and thus for the credibility and integrity of older works.
I'm not sure how this gets fixed. Maybe the POD model is simply changing things in an irreversible way. But it seems to me that there ought to be some kind of solution to this loss of the old editorial filtering process (both in selection for publication and book preparation) within the POD model.
I just haven't got the answer myself yet. And perhaps there is none. But there ought to be.
As I said above, I'm just putting this out there, not offering a solution. Sometimes the first step in solving a problem is recognizing that it's there.
Never forget that as POD users we are also the publisher, and it's up to us to ensure we have a good product, not the responsibility of the retailers our books go through. If you want a good product and cannot DIY then you have to pay someone to do it before it gets to a retailer, simple.2 · Share on Twitter
potetjp ProfessorFor a reasonable fee, there are educated people who offer to edit your manuscript in view of a POD publication. They correct your spelling and your grammar, but, fortunately, leave your style as is.

Kevin hits the nail on the head here.
Far too many DIY publishers simply don't have the ability, time or wherewithal to do a proper, professional-quality job on their books...yet expect readers to pay the same amount for their books that they would for a professional, traditionally published product. It absolutely irks me no end to hear DIY authors begging potential readers to make allowances: "Please buy my book even though it really isn't properly edited, formatted or designed, I can't do any better." Nope. If you cannot create a product worth what you are asking people to pay for it, you have no business trying to sell it.
And it is not up to Lulu or any other printer/distributor to make up the difference. That's not their responsibility.
potetjp said:For a reasonable fee, there are educated people who offer to edit your manuscript in view of a POD publication. They correct your spelling and your grammar, but, fortunately, leave your style as is.
Technically, that's really just copy-editing. An editor will also look at the sense of your book. How well are you telling your story? Do you need to add or subtract anything? Do you need to work on your characterization? Is your dialog believable? Do you need to revise, rearrange, delete, add or change anything in order for your story to be work better?

Macaron fever
I'm trying out hazelnuts for my macaron and I have to say, I think I like it better than almonds. This is my first try at it and I decided to make the flavor chocolate because it's the most obvious thing to do, hahaha, obviously I'm a fan of Nutella.
The filling is Valrhona chocolate 64% Manjari feves, bourbon and orange zest. I love the contrast but again this is another work in process. No recipe post for this one though because I eventually want to sell them in the future, hopefully soon when everything in my life is settled. For the mean time, I'm just posting a picture just because it's pretty. :-)

This Pumpkin Quinoa Bowl is gluten free, vegetarian and full of fall flavor! The quinoa, pumpkin, cranberries, pecans and gorgonzola come together in a perfect blend of textures and flavors. I created this dish for the Very Vegetarian Recipe Challenge hosted by OXO and Plated.
It is down to a chilly 78° here in California, which means time for some fall recipes! Once the temperature drops about five more degrees I can finally get started on my fall baking . . . WooHoo!
I've used pumpkin puree in many recipes but I realized that I had never used fresh pumpkin in any of my meals. Probably because I dislike the entire process of cleaning pumpkins. I'm not a big fan of carving pumpkins just for that reason. I hate scooping and scraping out all of the pumpkin seeds and goop!
I decided that the Very Vegetarian Challenge was the perfect opportunity to try my hand at a pumpkin recipe. For participating in this challenge OXO supplied me with a variety of handy kitchen gadgets, including a 2 piece Fruit Scoop Set. All of the gadgets are great, but those Fruit Scoops are Amazing! I cleaned out my pumpkin in less than twenty seconds . . . Crazy! I may even carve a jack-o-lantern this Halloween, using my handy-dandy new fruit scoops.
Learn more about Plated – Gourmet ingredients and recipes delivered to your door!
The Very Vegetarian Challenge has some rules that I had to follow:
Yields 2 servings.
Uses 10-12 ingredients.
Include vegetables, starch/grain and a protein.
Includes seasonal ingredients.
Only require 5-6 easy steps to follow.
No blenders, food processors or dutch ovens allowed.
Recipes are ready within 30 minutes, start to finish (including chopping).
I have to admit, the 30 minute time limit was a hard one for me. I'm more of a leisurely cook. You will never catch me on one of those frantic cooking competition shows, that is for sure!
Use the OXO Handheld Mandoline on setting 1 to slice the celery extra thin.
Clean the pumpkin with the large OXO Fruit Scoop. I suggest using both hands to do this, but I needed my other hand to take the photo.
Sauté the ingredients.
Use the OXO 9″ Whisk to mix the creamy gorgonzola dressing.

The 3 of Pentacles upright is a wonderful card to have in your spread. This card indicates that recognition or a reward will be presented for a job well done! If you asked about your career, a pay raise may be in the future or some other kind of promotion. It may be regarding another situation in your life, like romance. This card suggests that you could be focusing too much on family pressures, or social consideration rather than the emotional involvement you're faced with.
If you are a student, you could receive good grades or be nearing the completion of your degree. Congratulations are in order to you! The imagery of this card is of a young man receiving approval or praise from a nun or monk he's been working for. This is a good time to be proud of your skills and talents — let your best shine through!
If this card appears reversed in your spread, it suggests that rewards are not coming and approval of your hard work may be delayed.
It may also mean that you haven't been putting in as much effort as usual and your work has become mediocre.
Try taking a class or embark on a new degree to hone your skills. Perhaps you are focusing more on getting praise and approval rather than doing your best. Try to pull back your perspective on what's important. Praise will come where it is well earned.

Leitrim parents protest outside Dáil as inventor of HPV vaccine gets honoured
Protest outside Dáil Eireann on Monday, July 9
A group of concerned parents and children from Leitrim joined about 200 protesters outside Leinster House yesterday, Monday July 9 to highlight ongoing concerns over the HPV vaccine.
The inventor of the vaccine Professor Ian Frazer was in Dublin being presented an honorary fellowship by Royal College of Physicians for his work in developing the vaccine.
Dozens of families in Ireland have claimed that the vaccine has led to negative health effects in their children, while medical experts dispute any long-term side effects of receiving the anti-cervical cancer jab.
Drumshanbo's Sean Wynne has called on Simon Harris and the new head of the HSE to establish some form of a compensation fund for those allegedly affected.
The HSE responded to the protest by saying it flies in the face of best available medical and scientific evidence – including the World Health Organisation.
Minister for Health Simon Harris has "ensured extra resources are being deployed to work intensively" on introducing a new HPV test by the end of the year following the cervical cancer screening crisis.
In Australia, testing for the human papillomavirus (HPV) is already in place and was introduced because of the success of the cervical cancer immunisation programme. It is expected to eradicate the virus by 2028 from all but those who recently immigrated into Australia.
The vaccine, Prof Frazer says, protects against nine strains of virus which are together responsible for more than 95% of cervical cancers. In Australia it is given to both girls and boys. Most countries are switching to using HPV testing if they can afford it. "It's slightly more expensive than the pap smear but it's much more reliable," said Prof Frazer.
Vaccination rates in Ireland dropped alarmingly to 50% after concerns about damaging side effects. A recent HSE awareness campaign improved the rate to more than 60%.
Prof Frazer said there was a one in a million incidence of a significant allergic reaction to the vaccine and in Australia "that amounted to two cases in the whole of the last 10 years and worldwide there's been about 17 or 18 reported. And that's an unpredictable allergic reaction, about the same you get with almost every vaccine."

You constantly retain an interest in your referrals, so that each month a member pays into their Assured Benefits Club plan, you also benefit financially.
Our standard commission structure is £2.50 per month per referral that continually pays their monthly premium. With members typically joining and remaining a member of the club for the long term, this means you have the opportunity to continually receive a monthly payment for the introduction.
As an example, if one client joins and remains a member for 4 years, consistently making their monthly payment to their plan, then your commission over the term is £2.50 x 48 months = £120. When you apply volume to this model, it's easy to see why so many partners wish to join our programme.
By joining Assured Benefits Club, your referral will benefit from:

We require your details to register you for our partner program. After completing your application our partner support team will validate your information and supply you with your unique tracking code so we can monitor your sales. In order to make commission payments quickly, please also supply the account number, sort code and the name on the bank account where payments should be sent.

In this week's Autumn Budget for the UK, Chancellor Philip Hammond has put aside £500m to cover the cost of a "no deal" Brexit – and this isn't great news for expats.
The Chancellor "said that there was plenty of 'headroom' should he need to borrow more in a possible emergency deal if Britain leaves the EU without a Brexit trade agreement." (Telegraph.co.uk)
This means Chancellor Hammond thinks there still might be a "no deal" Brexit – which would threaten pension and insurance payments to the EEA from the UK, as well as hit the value of the UK Pound, which would in turn make life more expensive for expats living off their UK pensions outside of the UK.
Of interest to expats looking to buy in the UK from overseas, Holborn IFA Keren Bobker reports that, "there is to be a consultation on Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) for non-residents. The government will publish a consultation in January 2019 on a SDLT surcharge of 1% for non-residents buying residential property in England and Northern Ireland. No mention of Scotland or Wales."
Popular budget measures
Of the 86 measures in this Autumn's budget, popular measures for Brits living in the UK include:
- First time buyers: stamp duty to be scrapped for shared ownership properties worth up to £500,000.
- National Living Wage up by 4.9% – from £7.83 to £8.21 per hour.
- Fuel duty frozen for the ninth year in a year.
- Duty frozen on beer, cider and spirits.
- £1bn pledged to ease transition to Universal Credit (the new UK benefits system).
- Small businesses: £900m earmarked to cut business rates – this measure is projected to give nine out of ten independent shops, pubs and restaurants savings of up to £8,000 each.
- Standard personal tax allowance confirmed to rise from £11,850 to £12,500 in April 2019. The higher rate threshold will also rise to £50,000. These cuts will be a year early.
- £420m to be made immediately available to local authorities to deal with the UK's highway potholes.
- A £400m "bonus" for schools.
Overall, there's optimistic news from the Office for Budget Responsibility, which has upgraded its growth forecast for 2019 from 1.3% to 1.6%.
Financial experts believe that, with Brexit still hanging in the wind, the UK Spring Statement could be upgraded to a full Budget to deal with a finalised Brexit solution.


text: OK guys, it's now November and there have been a few driver re-releases since I got my Novatech (Palit) GTX480. I got the 480 thinking it was the hottest card around - and not literally either! It's certainly better than any card I've owned before, but it doesn't work quite as well as I thought it should. For example, it delivers an abysmal "D" in the Mafia 2 benchmark with everything racked up to max. Having said that, the actual game plays pretty well for the most part with these settings. I need to build my son a PC, so if there's a better card out there he may inherit my 480 and I'll buy myself a new one. What would you recommend as a substitute card for my main PC? Gaming means a big deal to me, so I'm prepared to pay out for something that really delivers. Single card? Crossfire/SLI? Thanks for any help & suggestions you can give.

Promoting access, appreciation and understanding of the natural bounty of the Ranch is a fundamental goal for fulfilling the mission of FFRP. Educational, docent-led walks on the history, geography, flora and fauna of the Ranch are offered throughout the year, and each spring FFRP sponsors a wildflower show, featuring hundreds of local flowers collected by volunteer botanists and wildflower enthusiasts. In addition, FFRP collaborates with local schools to develop and offer educational programs focused on the Ranch, including planting and growing seeds of native plants and trees. See the FFRP calendar for a complete schedule of educational walks and events.
School related field trip walks are available through our docent program. These walks can be tied to earth science curriculum and meet the California Life Science Standards, or even complement local arts programs. We also offer a stewardship program for students. On these walks, a group of trained docents will introduce students to the flora, fauna, and geography of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. Contact FFRP for information.

Student Voice is any expression of any learner anywhere, all the time, about anything related to learning, schools, and education. It doesn't depend on adult approval, it doesn't need specific spaces or energies, and is always present wherever students are.

If a student is talking in front of a group sharing their beliefs or experience, ideas or knowledge, they're sharing student voice. The same can…Continue

Infiniti has been transformed into a bona fide Premium segment automobile manufacturer, don't just take our word for it, have a look at the gorgeous Q60 coupes and the recently launched QX50 SUV's out on the roads. In creating this artwork that seems to transform fossil fuel into motion with poetry, Infiniti has finally come of age and went to the drawing board to dress up its aging 2nd Generation QX56, now known as the 2018 Infiniti QX80.
Infiniti QX80 2018 Review
Yes, this 2nd generation Z62, it's based on the Nissan Patrol which is codenamed Y62, has been out as long as the Patrol; and that's 8 years. It's a long time, 8 years, for any generation when competition is high and manufacturers tend to churn out new models in 5 years. Well that was in the past and with the recent downturn in global markets, it seems that the cost of developing all new models needs financials which are weighing heavily on every manufacturer. So it makes sense to nip and tuck their existing models in creating value and change for their customers.
To be quite fair, the Infiniti QX80 prior to 2018 has been shall we say quite radical in its design. You either loved it or hated it. The headlights, which were placed towards the lower end of the front grill, did look awkward, the hood was too curvy which did nothing to hide the size of the SUV and the rear taillights seems like it was an overkill with excessive angles and curves which took away from the lines of the SUV. But that was in the past.
We are in 2018 now and Infiniti has created the 2nd face lifted QX80 which looks like what the QX80 should have been from the beginning. I can see resemblances towards its cousin, the Y62 Patrol, and looks like it has come out of a spa. The lines are sharper and dynamic. The headlights feel human with their LED insert that makes the shape stand out even more, much like linking the eyes with kohl to make it look more sensuous. The rear taillights are envelops the chrome strip, which is slimmer and rounds off the rear tailgate.
The interior gets minor changes, which actually accentuates its new exterior. The seats gets smother leather, which are diamond quilted which are also present on the door trim. The air bag gets leather wrapped, the gear shifter is taken from the QX60. These subtle changes talk volumes in terms of changes when experienced as a whole. You need to sit and absorb the essence of Infiniti's new styling cues to understand what they are trying to communicate.
The power train is the same, 400 horses powers this 2.7 tonnes of Infiniti's people carrier. But it's eerily quiet as the QX80 gets an extra dose of sound deadening materials injected into it. This takes away most of the ambient noise from the outside and similar to the experience of Lexus's LX570, the ride is butter smooth and tranquil. The 400 Hp, 5.6 liter V8 however is more enthusiastic in eating miles at a much faster rate than the LX570.
The QX80 is all about "quiet comfort" and more of a tarmac cruiser than a proper off roader. Unlike Nissan's Patrol, the QX80 lacks differential lock and sand terrain management system but gets a towing mode since Infiniti thinks the QX80 is all about towing your boat and/or a caravan. Lifestyle that centers around the beach rather than the depths of the desert. 21 inch rims acts as ornaments more than off-roading utilitarian shoes.
Tech upgrades are implemented to suit the needs of Infiniti's growing customers. There are two rear screens which offers higher resolution than before as well as an integrated rear camera with the rear view mirror. Safety assists includes predictive forward collision warning, lane departure warning, intelligent cruise control, emergency braking, blind sport monitor and backup collision intervention to name a few.
With a starting price that matches the price of the Nissan Patrol Platinum LE, which is around AED 330,000; the Infiniti is a detour from normality. There are Patrol's everywhere in the streets of the UAE and in that way you tend to get some attention and differentiation with the QX80 without loosing the essence of the Patrol. It's essentially a coutured version on the Nissan Patrol LE Platinum and now with the looks to get glances of admiration than abomination from passers by.

Knee Pain
Nagging knee pain can be hard to ignore, affecting you even when you're sitting. But you can find relief.
Allegheny Health Network (AHN) helps active people and athletes bounce back from problems they thought would never go away.
Knee pain care at Allegheny Health Network: Why choose us?
If knee pain is keeping you from your favorite activities, we want to help you get back on your feet. Our orthopaedic surgeons perform complex procedures such as ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) repair to restore normal functioning. We were the first program in western Pennsylvania using Mako™ robotic technology to perform knee replacement surgery through small incisions. This level of expertise is why local athletes put their trust in our program. To learn more, readAutumn's story.
Our certified physical therapists use sophisticated equipment to take your recovery to the next level. Our anti-gravity treadmill reduces the force of gravity on your knees while you walk or run. This technology makes it possible to safely resume activity earlier in your recovery. The treadmill and other physical therapy equipment are available in our physical therapy facilities.
Find out more about:
- The Sports Complex at Cool Springs
- Sports medicine and performance at Wexford Plaza
Causes of knee pain
Common causes of knee pain include:
- Arthritis
- Orthopaedic trauma, including a broken kneecap
- Sports injuries, such as patellofemoral pain or "runner's knee"
- Tears in the meniscus, the tissue that protects your knee joint
- Injury to the ACL, the connective tissue that holds your knee in place
Treatments for knee pain
We perform a complete examination, including imaging tests when necessary, to get to the source of the pain so we can find a treatment solution for you. Read more about orthopaedic diagnosis.
An accurate diagnosis helps us determine the treatments that best meet your unique needs. Treatments include:
- Bracing: Wearing a device (brace) protects your knee while it heals by limiting movement. Bracing allows your knee and supporting tissue to rest, which helps reduce swelling.
- Medication: Medications may relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Many people get relief with over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen. If the pain is severe, you may need a prescription medication.
- Injections: Injecting medications directly into the source of the pain may help you get relief from stubborn pain. Find out more about injections.
- Physical therapy: Our certified physical therapists help you strengthen the muscles that support your knee. We also show you how to safely transition back to everyday activities. Learn more about orthopaedic physical therapy.
- Surgery: If you need surgery, we explain what to expect every step of the way, so you feel prepared and confident about your procedure. During surgery, we may remove bone fragments or swollen tissue. We also show you how to get around safely while you recover. Find out more about orthopaedic surgery.
- Preventive services: We offer many services, including strength training, to lower your risk for future knee problems. If you are an athlete, our speed and agility training helps you come back better than ever. Read more about sports performance services.

You see, at one point in 1945, the actor who played Supes, Bud Collyer, decided it would be nice to get some days off from speaking in a baritone voice. Because this was all before it was really possible to record high-quality audio in advance, they needed some solution to have the star of the show absent while still making the show.
That solution was kryptonite, which the show's writers had come up with for one 1943 storyline and promptly forgotten about (the comics didn't use it until much later). Superman would bump into some kryptonite, and some other actor could fill in and mumble two feet away from the microphone while Collyer was off downing tiki drinks or whatever.

Former NSW director of public prosecutions Nicholas Cowdery is pushing to get all illicit drugs decriminalised.
He joined federal Australian Greens leader Richard Di Natale in Sydney on Friday to call on Australian governments to reconsider treating drug users as criminals.
"I am calling on the legalisation, regulation, control and taxation of all drugs," Mr Cowdery said.
"It's extremely frustrating to see the criminal justice system brought in to attach criminal records and all of the trauma that goes with it to people that are not criminals and who are not harming society."
The legal veteran, who has defended and prosecuted drug users, said different types of drugs should be addressed case by case.
He says reforms shouldn't happen overnight, but the current system is flawed.
Though the Greens aren't advocating to legalise all drugs, Senator Di Natale believes drug addictions could be treated better in the health system.
He said funds tied up dealing with drug users in the criminal justice system could be diverted into rehabilitation resources if personal use was decriminalised.
"Money wasted on policing and the courts ... that money should be spent providing treatment," he said.
"Treating drug use as a criminal matter, rather than a health matter, clearly isn't working."
While maintaining the law should still go after dealers and drug manufactures, Senator Di Natale pointed to the success experienced by Portugal's decriminalisation model.
Under the Portuguese model, drug users are dealt with outside the courts with social workers and psychologists who sentence them on a case-by-case basis to a range of measures including rehab, fines and travel bans.
The move has been backed by families who have lost children to drug addictions.
Family Drug Support CEO Tony Trimingham, whose son overdosed 19 years ago, said he was tired of families being used to justify criminalisation.
"I'm sick of people speaking for us ... saying families would not want decriminalisation or injecting rooms," he said.
"But I can tell you, any family would rather have their child alive than dead and their children using drugs than dead."
Mr Trimingham said families struggled to cope with the daily issues that came with drug use and were only burdened further by the possibility of their loved ones facing criminal charges.
