Antipodes Story
Antipodes love taking the best of New Zealand nature to the world. The Antipodes range of certified organic and premium natural skincare and makeup is sold in 12 countries internationally, as well as their homeland New Zealand where it's proudly made. You'll recognise Antipodes by its distinctive green flora wallpaper design. The recyclable packaging contains bioactive New Zealand botanical ingredients and scientifically validated skin solutions. Heavenly pure plant fragrances evoke experiences in the Antipodes like waking to dew-scented air after a star-filled summer night. Developed by Wellington based founder Elizabeth Barbalich just eight years ago.
Discover the Spirit of Antipodes via the two main chapters of their story: Connect with Nature® Premium plant oils like nutrient-rich avocado oil carry potent bioactive skin-enhancing ingredients from New Zealand nature like manuka honey, harekeke flax, mamaku black fern and pohutukawa bloom. Independent government organic certification is proof of many of the products' authentic organic status, and the range is certifed safe for vegetarians by the esteemed UK Vegetarian Society. Scientifically Validated Organic Beauty™
Antipodes is pioneering an exciting new niche in skincare globally: natural formulations with scientifically validated performance. Impressive results from independent third-party in-vitro investigations prove that synthesis of collagen is significantly stimulated in human fibroblast skin cells in key Antipodes® products by at least 51%, and rising right through to 92% in top seller Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream.
Ethos: Green Beauty Love Nature. Those two words guide Antipodes in everything they do. Antipodes are constantly inspired by the natural beauty of their homeland New Zealand: an exotic, fresh and new world Antipodean nation. It's elemental to the substance and style of their products, so they are doing everything they can to care for it responsibly – from the full traceability of ingredients from sustainably cultivated plants to local production and recyclable packaging.
Antipodes love ingredients from Nature Antipodes believe they've found the answer to anti-ageing in New Zealand nature. Antipodes carefully select bioactive extracts from sustainably cultivated native plants to create skincare products that are scientifically and clinically shown to help promote youthful skin. And they assiduously avoid synthetic preservatives, going to considerable trouble to use natural preservative compounds instead, which are both better for you and better for the environment.
Antipodes packaging is recyclable Antipodes packaging features fully recyclable bottles and aluminum tubes, and 100% biodegradable card from sustainable forests.
Plant Ingredients Each and every premium botanical ingredient in an Antipodes skincare product earns its place. The sustainably cultivated plant extracts not only have to be certified organic or genuinely natural, but they must also be able to enhance your skin's natural health and beauty – which is how their effective beauty products achieve such extraordinary scientific validation. Bioactive extracts from New Zealand's plant species that have evolved in Antipodean isolation over millions of years go through a rigorous selection process. The extracts have natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidant-rich properties: New Zealand's world-famous manuka, totara, kowhai and mamaku black fern offer a powerhouse of nutrients to your skin. Antipodes also combs the world for potent skin-enhancing ingredients like the vibrant Himalayan goji berry, South America's wrinkle-reducing jojoba, deeply moisturising Australian macadamia nut oil and China's Reishi mushroom of immortality.
Antipodes says NO to:
* Animal testing.
* Genetically modified (GM) or genetically engineered (GE) ingredients.
* Synthetic fillers or silicon derived ingredients.
* Artificial colours or artificial fragrances.
* Sodium lauryl sulphates.
* Mineral oils.
* Petrochemicals.
* Animal ingredients (except honey and beeswax from living bees).
* Parabens; ethyl-paraben, methyl-paraben, propyl-paraben, butyl-paraben.
Antipodes Vinanza ® Antioxidants
Antioxidants are hot property for your skin: they're a daily defense mechanism in addressing signs of ageing, and they can prevent further harm by helping neutralise the free radicals that can damage your skin's surface. Antipodes introduces these four revolutionary antioxidant ingredients, using them in high-performance products for maximum anti-ageing action:
* Vinanza Grape
* Vinanza Kiwi
* Vinanza Oxifend
* Vinanza Performance Plus.
Revolutionary antioxidants from grape seeds. Because New Zealand's intense light penetrates its clear skies so strongly, the grape vines work overtime to produce antioxidants to defend against the unusually high UV levels. As a result, their grape seeds contain up to double the levels of polyphenolic antioxidant compounds compared to grape seeds grown anywhere else in the world.
This incredible antioxidant potency is captured in the powerfully anti-ageing extracts Vinanza Grape, Vinanza Oxifend and Vinanza Performance Plus.They're naturally extracted from the seeds of award-winning sauvignon blanc and pinot noir grapes from the blissfully beautiful region of Marlborough.
Revolutionary antioxidants from the superfruit kiwifruit. Kiwifruit are filled with an abundance of healthy nutrients, particularly in their skins. These nutrients, which include a mixture of phenolic antioxidants, have been shown in independent clinical trials to help improve skin's appearance by lightening skin and reducing redness, age spots and freckling.
Vinanza Kiwi and Vinanza Performance Plus are a pure and natural blend of compounds extracted from the skins of kiwifruit sustainably grown in New Zealand. The extraction process for all Vinanza antioxidants is free of chemicals, harsh solvents and dyes. Using nothing more than pure water, it's also environmentally-friendly and minimises waste.

Philips Fidelio DS8550
The Fidelio DS8550 is a really good, versatile speaker system at a very attractive price. The DS8550 can use Bluetooth for wireless streaming, but also has a dock for iOS devices, and is one of the few such speaker systems that will even allow you to dock an iPad – or to use the standalone iPad stand that Philips throws in too. The audio quality is excellent, with a warm, rich sound that works particularly well with more mellow music. It's got a rechargeable battery too, and is light enough to easily carry from room to room or to take outside for a BBQ if we ever get some decent weather this summer. The Zeppelin Air' sound is better - just - but you can't argue about the price differential.

SoundFreaq SoundPlatform
The SoundPlatform isn't the most elegant speaker system I've ever seen, although you could be charitable and describe features such as the little knobs for adjusting treble and bass as 'retro'. Those little knobs can be used to fine-tune the sound to suit your taste, although the speaker doesn't produce quite as full-bodied a sound as some of its comparably-priced rivals. It uses Bluetooth for wireless streaming, and there's also a SoundFreaq app that you can download for adjusting treble, bass and other settings on your iPhone or iPad. However, the SoundFreaq app is poorly integrated with Apple's iTunes app, which makes music selection a bit fiddly at times.

On June 30th, Consolidated Edison's (Con Ed) contract with Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) expired. After the union leaders failed to come to an agreement with Con Ed management, citing Con Ed's plan to turn their pensions into 401ks and provide the workers with fewer benefits as their reasons for ending the talks, the workers were locked out and began protesting.
Let me start by explaining that, though it is common for the actions of union leaders to range from thoughtless to deplorable, the attitude of the Local 1-2 leaders is extremely selfish, irresponsible, and on the verge of criminal. New York City is being pounded by heat waves, meaning that air conditioning usage is going to increase. And because the workers have decided to strike, if something happens to go wrong, elderly citizens will now be at risk due to the heat and Con Ed managers may be injured trying to fix the problem.
Just to highlight the potential severity of the union's actions, let's look at what occurred earlier this week along the East Coast. After storms knocked out power in Maryland, three heat related deaths were reported, with two of the victims being 65 or older. The union leadership should have accepted Con Ed's terms since many New Yorkers may be facing heat stroke and heat exhaustion if power is lost due to the current heat wave. Furthermore, the 5,000 Con Ed managers running operations and responding to emergencies in the workers' stead have been put in danger by the union. On Monday, one manager was burned in a substation fire in Bensonhurst and another was injured Wednesday in a manhole explosion on the Upper West Side. Union spokesman John Melia tried to shift the blame to the company, stating, "They're going to kill somebody," after hearing about the manhole explosion, but the UWUA is the real culprit.
As for the criminal aspect I mentioned above, I was referencing a very stupid statement posted on the Occupy Support for UWUA Local 1-2 Facebook page, which appears to be controlled by a UWUA member. Most people understand that overworked generators and overloaded transmission lines can lead to blackouts or brownouts. In fact, Con Ed caused a brownout Wednesday night, by deliberately decreasing the voltage in several Brooklyn neighborhoods in an effort to reduce the strain on the grid. A utility worker would most definitely know this, yet someone claiming to be a UWUA member posted this, "Starting July 5th, show support for UWUA local 1-2 by turning on all your electricity for Five minutes at 6pm every day." It has since been taken down, but it was very irresponsible to post in the first place and could have had dire consequences.
Union leaders have also hurt their own in their pursuit of a strong-armed victory. Con Ed offered to extend the workers' old contract through July, thus providing them with continued health coverage, but the union leaders prohibited this. The union members should be upset at their leadership for the loss of their health benefits, but many are too blind and instead blame the company for the union's own actions.
I am now going to address the unfair criticism Con Ed has received for its treatment of the workers. On the surface, it would seem that Con Ed is just a big, greedy corporation looking to make a profit. Beneath the surface, well, it actually looks just about the same. Con Ed is, after all, a corporation and the main function of a corporation is to return profits, preferably large ones, to its owners. Because Con Ed is public, it is constantly faced with a duty to its shareholders. It therefore needs to ensure that its stock continues to increase in value. Con Ed already increased its rates by 10% in 2010 due to labor costs and the high price of maintaining its underground distribution system. With its stocks dipping over the past few months it is no wonder Con Ed tried to get a better deal with the new contracts. This may seem unfair to the workers, but it is understandable from a business perspective.
The union members claim the deaths of any elderly citizens due to heat will be on the company's hands, but I don't see it that way. Even if Con Ed was bullying the workers, they should still submit to the company in order to prevent the dozens of injuries that have happened and might still happen. But Local 1-2 executive board member Salvatore Guercio made his union's intentions very clear when he said, "We're gonna do whatever it takes until we get a good contract." They could have accepted the offer they were provided with, but they chose to take New York hostage instead. To union officials, winning disputes over pensions and benefits packages is more important than the lives of the people of New York City.

8 years, 8 months and 13 days
our Reunion.
Oh What a Night!!!!
I have to say that the Class of 1981 Totally ROCKS!!!
We had such a great turnout and it really seemed as if everyone had a great time. It started with the VIP party that went to all hours of the night. Then it went to the next night, the Reunion. The walk down memory lane to the walls and walls of pictures. The patio was crowded with more then 250 classmates that could not stop talking. I am not sure that people took the time to eat the several courses of food or take time to dance to the tunes of the Taj Maj Garage Band but they certainly knew of its presence because they could not stop talking to each other.
It was as if 30 years did not go by!!!
THANKS so much to everyone for attending this event to make it as magical as it was.

Artist Feature: Constantinos Chaidalis
Editor Shenyah Webb, Art, December 7th, 2016
"I do not think that grief lets much be said."
The following gallery is from the series "Sinister," a body of work created to depict how as part of the human condition, we revert back to a childlike state when coping with death and loss. I asked Chaidalis to expand on his firsthand experience with death and how it relates to his most recent series.
"A year ago my mother passed after a year long battle with cancer. The disease turned my mother helpless in my eyes, innocent and childlike. The people around her, including myself became helpless as well. Witnessing such a terrifying reality, unable to react, belittles you somehow. The wait for something sinister is a wait that cannot be filled with ordinary doings. Through this experience the grief and childlike reactions grew stronger in my perception. I also felt like time stood still.
"The main concept behind my collage illustrations is to depict this state for various people or myself in various moments, in that exact moment that time stood still. I created a cryptic non-verbal language because I do not think that grief lets much be said. Most of the illustrations are wishes, safe places, hiding spots. This project is me, making a map of memories that helped me cope with loss."

I haven't updated in a long long while! o_O In my defense, it's been a busy week!
In order of what happened:
1) I did a presentation. It sucked.
2) We had a presentation the very next day for the trouble coursework. I'll complain about this one later
3) A new coursework given, so I had to work on it.
4) A meeting for our troublesome coursework group. It sucked. I'll complain about this later too.
5) Dissertation meeting, where I had to finish my literature review (not that I did.. will have to add on to it later!)
Okay, bitching time starts now.
OMFG I can't BELIEVE those *bleeeeeeeep* who were supposed to do our Systems presentation! On Monday we met, discussed our recommendations, and decided to meet on Wednesday so that the presentors can practice in front of the rest of the group for critique and suggestions for improvement. So on Wednesday, right after my presentation, I went to meet them.
The slides weren't even done. It looked like they just barely started! The other two girls came along, one of them having travelled an hour from home just to see the practice presentation. A little while later, the presentors said that they had a lecture, so they couldn't stay anymore to do the presentation. We offered to finish up the slides for them, and they declined, saying they wanted to do it their way since they were presenting. We said okay, and told them to at least practice together once before the actual presentation. Would you believe they hadn't been planning to???
Anyway, they promised to be in school by 9am Thursday, just in case. The 3 of us said fine, we'll see you before the lecture, etc etc. On Thursday morning, at 10.45am (15 minutes before the lecture started - us 3 girls were in a 9am lecture), we met up with one of the presentors (Sophia) and she said that the other girl who was supposed to do the slides wasn't there yet. PFFT 9am my FOOT.
When the other girl (Trang) FINALLY came along, we demanded to see the slides, so we all trooped down to the computer labs. Guess what? THE SLIDES HADN'T EVEN BEEN TOUCHED SINCE WE LEFT THE DAY BEFORE. She hadn't even used the slides which I'd amended abit for animation and stuff! Obviously we panicked.
Luckily, our presentation timeslot wasn't till 12.30pm. So for one hour, we rushed to do everything, trying to add more stuff into the slides etc. But there was something wrong with the slides, and we couldn't save it. I kept trying to adjust it so it would be ok, but the others (read: Trang) kept pushing me away to do her own thing. Ugh. So the one who was supposed to do the slides said she'd just present like that - incomplete, with alot of blank slides and no pictures, diagrams, graphs, charts, nothing. She took her USB and left with Sophia. The three of us were left very upset and panicky and in a daze.
I started playing around with the slides, and I managed to fix it, so Andrea, Sita and I rushed to make it prettier, with animations, graphs, charts, etc. We saved it on another USB and brought it to Trang and Sophia, telling them we'd fixed it. Not like they even looked through to check what was on the slides before they presented! They ended up embarrassing us and making us all look like absolute fools. The last person in the group, who was there, had this look on his face that seemed to say "Why didn't you do any better???". Not "I should've done this, I could do better", but "why didn't you do any better???". Bitch.
That was really the last straw. After the lecture, Andrea, Sita and I stormed straight up to the lecturer and complained (I think that may have been the only reason why we got the marks we did - 12 out of 20, which was quite good considering ours was the worst presentation and we didn't get the lowest marks). She said she'd talk to the only guy in the group, because she's his supervisor for the dissertation and she had a meeting with him later that day anyway. Then she organized a meeting for everyone in the group on Wednesday so that we'd be able to discuss things with a mediator. The three of us went away hoping that she'd be able to do something.
Come Wednesday, we met at the designated time and place, except for Sophia, who didn't turn up for dunno what goddamn reason she had. That meeting was the most useless thing I'd ever heard of. She didn't want to talk about what happened in the past, or for us to point fingers and accuse others, and came up with stupid suggestions that would never work in our group. Hello?? The only reason why we wanted the meeting in the first place was to sort out all that and find out WHY THE HECK they didn't do their work!!!
Ugh, we still ended up distributing our work evenly (read: they won't do it and we'll get stuck doing all of it), and the ppl who didn't do their parts went away smiling like goons, as though they got away with something. I can already tell that they're not going to do their work. If I ever felt murderous before, it's nothing compared to how I feel now.
And to think I used to like Systems last year. This year sucks ass. I tell you, when the time comes for me to do that course review thing for feedback, I'm going to complain and bitch as much as I can.

ugh. sucky teammates, have had worst than yours before. he even went ahead to voice his displeasure over the rejection of his ideas (read: its not relevant at all to have a pre-paid IHT just to cover the beneficiary's side), right in front of the whole class. pfft. and he dared to complain that the self-evaluative group marks allocation was unfair

Yeah, the guy in my group actually tried to stop us from doing work!! "I don't think what the client thinks is relevant, so I am adamant that we do not do anymore work." -_____- ......
I hope your coursework turned out fine anyway! o_O

Place the cherries, juice and sea salt in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn off the flame and let the cherries soak for 1 hour. After soaking, bring to a boil again without a cover. Slowly add the dissolved kuzu root starch, stirring constantly to prevent lumping. When thick, turn off the flame. The filling is now ready.
For a slightly sweeter flavor you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup, if desired.

I had a profound experience today and parts of me inside are still taking it in.
I'm not sure whether I mentioned it, but I had a very nasty fall almost two weeks ago and I have been in pain ever since. As you can tell from my most recent post, things have been challenging for me emotionally, as well. As a result, my back and shoulders became even more of a mass of tension and discomfort than is normal for me. When it got to the point where not only my hip was interfering with my ability to sleep, but my back was as well, I knew that I needed to take action to get some relief.
I am taking a break from the massage therapist that I have worked with since I was pregnant with my daughter. (That makes it sound like I get massages all the time, when 2 or 3 a year is good for me, but the point is that we have a long term, previously very trusting relationship.) My dad inserted himself into the relationship and bought a package of 6 massages for my birthday last summer. My massages with her have turned into an exercise in not getting triggered, unfortunately. She did nothing wrong at all; the problem simply is that my dad is now associated with massage and her. I hope to eventually fix that, but I'm not there yet.
Anyways, that meant that I wasn't able to turn to her for help. Our local food coop has a massage station set up at certain hours, where you pay a dollar a minute and pay for however many minutes of chair massage you want (or can afford.) Mama Bear had talked about the massage therapist who runs the program in glowing terms, and according to the on line schedule he was on duty this afternoon, so I decided to go and see if he could help me.
Well, not only is J. a gifted massage therapist and he helped me to get considerable relief from the physical pain that I have been experiencing, but the experience was important for me on another level.
One of the things that I have learned about massage is that it is most helpful for me if I try to receive it in as mindful of a state of mind as possible. About 1/2 way through the massage, I became aware of the fact that I was not only experiencing the massage on a physical level, but it also was affecting me deeply inside. This stranger whom I had only met 15 minutes before was treating me with kindness and with a real desire to help me feel better. I hadn't considered before how much can be communicated through touch. Most of the massages that I have had with people other than the woman I normally work with (A.) have been more or less helpful and the therapists have ranged from friendly and clearly desiring to help to business like. Never before have I experienced such an intense experience of presence. Even with A., she is there and I can feel the caring and nurturing coming off of her, but it is quieter.
Fortunately, I wasn't in a thinking state, just an experiencing state, otherwise I probably would have started to doubt what I was experiencing. Instead, I realized just how much my soul needed to experience that kindness. While accepting the physical impact of being abused has been an important part of my recent healing, it also left me in a state where I was parched for physical kindness. So being able to sit there, in a light trance state, soaking in the physical kindness and care that was being given was tremendously healing for me. Parts of me inside were able to absorb the experience of having someone use touch in a healing way. Use touch in a healing way– the thought makes me cry in grief at what was and hope at what can be.
And this was a stranger. As I absorbed the sense of kindness coming off of this young man, there was a sense of wonder inside that there really are people out there who treat other people well. There are men out there who act out of a desire to help others. Not just the few men that I know and have tested out over time, but men that I have never met. There really are men out there who don't secretly want to hurt others. The world really is a less dangerous place than my insides believe it to be. It's like the difference between the world being a war zone and the world having some safety in it.
Right now my insides feel the way that they do sometimes after a breakthrough with Mama Bear. There is a sense of wonder and hope that things actually might be better than I thought they were- almost a giddiness.

Volume V contains preprints written during 2008-2014 as advanced topics to be added to the textbook. They include, e.g. a discussion of a wide class of linear ordinary differential equations whose integration is reducible to solution of algebraic equations. This class contains the constant coefficient equations and Eulers equations as particular cases. The recent method of nonlinear self-adjointness for constructing conservations laws associated with symmetries of partial differential equations is also presented in this volume.

Getting the right balance on domestic heating systems has now become easier to achieve with the new Grundfos ALPHA3 System. This is good news, as we know that 86 per cent of domestic heating systems are unbalanced and unbalanced systems can increase heating costs by 20 per cent. So, by addressing this issue, you can help to overcome this problem, saving your customers money while at the same time having an additional fast, easy and chargeable service to offer them.
But the pump options don't stop there as the Grundfos ALPHA2L is designed for circulating water in domestic heating systems with constant or variable flows and in systems with variable temperature. These high efficiency circulators can be installed in central heating and primary hot water circuits up to 35kW and offer many advanced features as standard.
The UPS2 15-50/60 has become a stalwart of the Grundfos circulator family. This compact, high efficiency pump is manufactured in the UK and was introduced as a replacement for the Grundfos UPS 15-50/60 family. With just one model, the UPS2 replaces older 4m, 5m and 6m versions of the UPS 15-50/60 models and are suitable for use in domestic heating systems.
For more information on these pumps as well as others in the Grundfos range visit www.grundfos.co.uk

Cross country flights used to be pretty snazzy back in the 1960s.
This is a quaint little vintage instructional video, filmed in 1961, from the days when movies were made on film, and Kennedy Airport was still called Idlewylde. The movie is called An Airplane Trip by Jet. The featured plane is United Airlines flight 801, a jet traveling from New York to San Francisco. This movie features nostalgic areal shots of Manhattan, Denver, and San Francisco.
The film is a rare find of a black and white period piece. It shows you the swinging jetway, through which passengers can board the plane directly from the waiting room. It shows the containers holding people's luggage, and a unique proprietary system that loaded the containers the plane from underneath, with the help of a conveyor belt. The video also shows the control tower where controllers direct jets and props around the field. The film even takes you on a tour of the cockpit, from where the Captain has many instruments to help him man the plane.
Security seems a bit loose back in the day. There is no TSA yet. And pets don't seem to need to prove that they are up to date on their shots to board the plane as long as they have a ticket. The seats on the plane are way too roomy but after sitting in a middle seat on a cross-country flight, I wish it was still that way! There's even a lounge at the front of the plane. The flight attendants are called Hostesses. No one has a cell phone or a personal computer. What's more, every man wears a hat. It's a look back at a simpler time.

Response to attacks on Bush-Chretien agenda
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush met Monday with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien to discuss the international response to the terror attacks in New York and Washington, and issues of security along the two nations' vast border.
Bush and Chretien -- fresh from discussions at noontime Monday -- revealed to reporters that they discussed Canada's contribution to the international fight against terrorism. In addition to border security, issues such as military contributions, diplomatic efforts and financial endeavors were likely to have been discussed.
"We've got a great partner in our neighborhood," Bush said of Canada and of Chretien, as the two walked along the outer White House colonnade en route from the Oval Office to a working lunch.
When Chretien called on September 11 to express the horror of the Canadian people and offer condolences, Bush said, "It was like getting a call from a brother."
Canada, Bush said, is "like family."
"Freedom is under attack. We have combined against a new enemy... We have a mutual responsibility in our hemisphere to find and disrupt terrorist organizations."
Chretien expressed similar sentiments.
"We are your neighbors, friends and family," he said. "We have to work together. This problem concerns all nations of the world."
Chretien said he would discuss elements of his Monday talks with Bush at an upcoming meeting of Commonwealth nations in Australia, and a subsequent summit of "Francophone," or French-speaking and influenced nations, later in the year in Lebanon.
Canada reportedly is prepared to offer military forces to the campaign. Some of the possibilities that have been reported include ground troops, CF-18 jet fighters and naval frigates on the front lines.
Other reported contributions include offering more CF-18 jet fighters for joint patrols of North American skies and Canadian soldiers for peacekeeping duties in Bosnia to free U.S. troops there for duty elsewhere.
Canadian Defense Minister Art Eggleton said Sunday on CBC Newsworld that "we may have to rework how some of our forces are currently deployed," and said there are limits on how much Canada can contribute because of the size of its military.
Chretien criticized at home
The Canadian prime minister has been criticized for his responses to the crisis, and Bush, in his speech to Congress on Thursday night, didn't mention Canada but thanked other nations by name.
The Bush administration denies it snubbed Canada, and Chretien said he does not think he was slighted.
"There should be no doubt in anyone's mind about how honored we are to have the support of the Canadians," Bush said Monday, adding that he suspected someone in Canada was trying to "play politics" with relations between the two Northern Hemisphere neighbors.
"Now is not the time for politics," he said. "Now is the time to develop a strategy to fight and win the war."
Chretien has said he was the first international leader to speak with Bush after the attacks, and that the president has thanked Canada for its help. The country accepted more than 200 U.S.-bound jetliners when the attacks forced the closing of airspace. Those airliners, he said Monday, bore 45,000 Americans.
But conservatives in Canada said Chretien has been unwilling to join other nations in immediately promising full military support.
He also has been criticized for failing to schedule a visit to ground zero in New York. Chretien's office said his presence might hamper recovery efforts.
Canada: No immigration changes
In the wake of the attacks, attention has focused on Ottawa's immigration policies, which critics said have made Canada a safe haven for armed groups wishing to launch assaults against the United States.
Canadian Foreign Minister John Manley said Canada would not bow to pressure to curb its liberal immigration policies and urged U.S. politicians to abandon any thoughts they might have about increasing controls along the two nations' undefended 3,100-mile border.
No link has so far been established between Canada and the attackers, a point Manley was at pains to underline.
The CBC reports that Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark said Chretien should let Bush know that Canada stands ready to help militarily in the war on terrorism.
"I think the prime minister should take the opportunity (Monday) to make it clear Canadian airspace and landing sites would be available if there is any need," Clark told the CBC.
The CBC also reported that Clark said many Canadian aid workers across the globe could use their influence and contacts to help locate terror cells.

MySpace Security Measures – The Good, The Bad and Stickam
Over the last week or so there have been some problems with malicious Flash widgets and MySpace profiles. As a result, MySpace has been pushing Flash 9 and updating user profiles with allownetworking="internal". It appears that this security measure requires 2 parts. First, the viewer must update to Flash 9 and second, a user must have updated their profile recently to have had the new tag inserted.
The Good:
This new measure does not break widgets from functioning. What it does is prevent external links from the Flash widget. This should help prevent malicious use of external linking from Flash.
The Bad:
Many widgets have a link to the widget site to help promote and inform about the widget. While there can be ways around this, such as html links, many users will probably strip that html code out. Some widgets have specific functionality that requires external linking and popups.
We will address the Stickam video chat player specifically since much of our service and content relates to Stickam. Some testing and review has been done on a small random sampling of MySpace profiles with the Stickam player. We have verified that some players are indeed no longer linking externally and have had the tag inserted into the code. The player still loads and functions, however, the player features which launch an external link and window no longer work if you have updated to Flash 9. This is a critical issue for Stickam since it is necessary in order to open a Stickam chat window with the person. The player will also no longer open the user's profile due to the same security measures.
While we see the good and the bad, it looks to be a sever blow to Stickam if they are not able to come up with a workaround. MySpace is a huge user base and market for Stickam to lose.

By definition, being an innovative company means providing a service that is new and different. But with the sheer number of companies all vying for the same status, it can be a bit difficult to pinpoint which are providing something truly out of the ordinary, and which are just full of fluff.
IDC recently helped clear a path in the confusion by compiling a list of what they feel are the top underdogs, or, as they put it, Innovative Information Access Companies Under $100M to Watch. We're happy to report that included on that list are three very familiar names: FatWire, MarkLogic and Recommind.
Information Assets
When defining the cream of the crop, IDC looked for vendors that exhibited one or more of three trends:
- User interfaces requiring little or no training and incorporating Web 2.0 and social networking capabilities will become differentiators in information access and analysis
- Unified management of and access to all information types – both data and content – across applications and repositories will become a requirement
- Intelligent process automation software that automates repeatable, operational decisions within business process sets in response to events where analytics drive the workflow
Why these specific three? Henry Morris, senior vice president for Software and Services at IDC puts it like this:
Organizations have come to realize that utilizing their information assets is a key to competitive advantage, but a challenge to execute. Innovative solutions are coming from a group of young companies with fresh approaches to access and manage all types of information. These innovations are having their impact on the industry and will spur technology growth in the coming years.
With that in mind, it's pretty clear why the aforementioned three were chosen. In addition to gobbling up Interwoven and Vignette customers, FatWire has been working hard on an analytics solution. Meanwhile, Recommind has been busy developing their Information Risk Management software and MarkLogic recently took a turn for the little social with the application builder they rolled out over the summer.
The full list of IDC's favorites, in alphabetical order:
- Carefx
- Connotate
- Exalead
- Fatwire
- Jaspersoft
- MarkLogic
- NetBase
- Recommind
- Vivisimo

"What really connects us is the pain," said Rami Elhanan.
A 58-year-old Israeli, Elhanan lost his 14-year-old daughter to a suicide bomber in the center of Jerusalem. An Israeli soldier killed the father of Mazen Faraj, a 32-year-old Palestinian, in Bethlehem.
Elhanan and Faraj are members of Parents Circle-Families Forum, an organization of antiwar activists drawn together by the loss of loved ones. Now on a speaking tour of the United States, sponsored by Catholic Relief Services, they recently sat down for a talk.
"This sense of pain has an enormous power," Elhanan told us. "It's like nuclear power. You can use it to bring darkness and destruction, or you can use it to bring light and hope. This is what we do, by combining our pain together."
It's hard to be optimistic about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Bush's recent Middle East trip highlighted his failure to capitalize on the goodwill generated at the Annapolis peace conference last November. Three key leaders � Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority and Bush himself � are discredited figures who lack the stature and support to push negotiations forward.
But Elhanan and Faraj insisted that ordinary people, Israelis and Palestinians alike, are yearning for peace. Their mission is to galvanize those feelings by traveling and speaking together, telling their stories and breaking through the encrusted stereotypes that dominate thinking on both sides of the border.
"I have to understand the fear of the Jews," said Faraj, "and the Jews, they have to understand my suffering."
The two men have made more than a thousand joint appearances, often at high schools. And while their journeys have taken different routes, they have arrived at the same destination.
Faraj's family was driven out of its home village near Jerusalem 60 years ago, and he was born in a refugee camp on the West Bank. After joining protest demonstrations as a teenager, he was arrested repeatedly by Israeli authorities and spent more than three years in jail, dropping out of high school in the process. "I lost all of my life," he said. "I found myself without a certificate, without anything."
In 1997, he was invited to a meeting in Germany, aimed at starting a dialogue between the two communities, and there he met and talked with Israelis for the first time. "They treated me with respect, they asked me about my name and where I lived," he recalled. "Before, in the Israeli jails, they never asked me, 'Who are you?'"
A peace warrior was born, and even his father's death could not deter him. The "easy way," Faraj said, would have been to seek revenge by killing Israeli soldiers. Instead, he chose "to create something new, a message of a better future for me and my daughter."
Elhanan, the son of a Holocaust survivor, faced a similar choice. After his daughter's death, he was consumed by "an enormous anger that eats you alive from within," but like Faraj, he turned that anger in a positive direction. He went to a meeting of the Parents Circle, "and for the first time in my life, I met Palestinians, coming toward me, shaking my hand, hugging me and crying with me.
"From that moment on, this became the thing that drives me out of bed in the morning," said Elhanan. "I devote myself to conveying one basic message: We are not doomed. This is not our destiny, to keep on killing and dying. We can break, once and for all, this circle of violence."
But that circle is very powerful. Both sides are cursed by memory and grievance, and both are indoctrinating their young people to "sacrifice themselves when they come of age," said Elhanan. "We're poisoning the minds of the kids; we've been demonizing each other for years and years."
Turning to Faraj, Elhanan added: "When (we) step into a classroom, the students see for the first time in their lives an Israeli and a Palestinian calling themselves brothers."
In those classrooms, Faraj is often called a terrorist. Jews tell Elhanan that he should have been blown up with his daughter. Palestinian teachers tell their students, "Don't listen, it will break your will to fight."
"Sometimes I say, I don't want to do it anymore," admitted Faraj.
But then something happens to keep them going.
"If I'm standing in front of a class," Elhanan said, "and at the end there's one kid nodding his head, it's a miracle."
Steve Roberts' latest book is "My Fathers' Houses: Memoir of a Family" (William Morrow, 2005). Steve and Cokie Roberts can be contacted by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Luke Hemsworth headed to Hollywood
The trinity of Hemsworth hotness will soon be complete: Luke, the oldest of the three brothers, will join Chris and Liam in Hollywood, reports Deadline. Although the first to catch the acting bug, Luke, 32, has worked exclusively in the family's native Australia. He reportedly signed with his siblings' management team last year and will soon have big blockbuster shoes to fill: his younger brothers Chris, 28, and Liam, 22, starred in two of this year's highest grossing U.S. films, The Avengers and The Hunger Games, respectively. Hemsworth most recently shot Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms, a miniseries about two warring motorcycle clubs in Sydney. Try and spot him…
Hemsworth's Australian agent told Deadline that the actor hasn't yet set a date to come Up Over because he'll need to also arrange the relocation of his wife and three young children.
But his inevitable arrival will make the brothers Hemsworth one of the most formidable — and handsome — fraternal acting trios in the industry. The Baldwins might still be considered the gold standard, even if Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen are more husky than hunky these days. (There's no denying strength in numbers, and four of a kind is tough to beat.) Luke, Owen, and Andrew Wilson have built a nice comedy niche; and Macaulay, Kieran and Rory Culkin have had their moments. Of course, it's impossible to overlook the accomplishments and/or headlines of Charlie Sheen, Emilio and Ramon Estevez, but the Hemsworths should be immediate contenders competing for the title of "most coveted Hollywood gene pool."

The verb harama means to withhold or refuse something,
the passive haruma is to be forbidden etc, and the second form – to
cause to be forbidden – is used for declaring something sacrosanct or
taboo or forbidden. So Haram can refer to something that really holy
or is a real no-no, and (in one or other sense) to the female members
of the family, hence the women of the harem.

How do wine grapes grow in the Canary Islands you may wonder? Good question. As the entire globe has become obsessed with wine culture, so has this historic group of islands. The island of Gran Canaria is like a continent all its' own as the terrain and climates vary so drastically throughout the fairly small island. Near Sahara Africa, the island sometimes confuses those who can't imagine quality wines could be produced in this region, yet they actually host the most southern vineyards in the Northern hemisphere.
The Canary Islands boast a wine culture that has been around for many centuries yet is still in its infancy in terms of actually producing connoisseur quality wines. They have wines that range from an inexpensive Tinto and lightly mineral white, to wines of better quality and deeper complexity. They are discovering more varietals capable of growing and thriving in the volcanic soils and warmer, dry climates. Wineries are growing Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, as well as the typically Canario varieties such as Tintilla, Castellana, Listan, and Malvasia. Many wineries have begun to improve their wine making facilities and capacity by utilizing stainless steel tanks, French and American oak barrels. They are even beginning to age their wines in barrels more than the typical "Robles" or three months in barrel. Some wines are barreled 8 months to 1 year, especially when combined with the Bordeaux varietals. I will outline a few wineries pursuing the new school approach to wine making in my next blog series.
I joke that Christopher Columbus, who's first stop was in the Canary Islands after leaving Spain sailing towards the Americas, picked up his first wine club shipment here. He did indeed load up on wine for the long journey West. While I didn't travel as long of a journey as Christopher, I still picked up some old world wine to enjoy in the "new world." Day one I tasted wines in the Agaete Valley in the Finca La Laja. I will profile the wines of another region, Santa Brigada, in a later post.
My first visit was to the historic Las Bodegas de Berrazales (http://bodegalosberrazales.com/portada_ingles.htm) in the Agaete Valley. As you drive through the picturesque village near the coast, the architecture and old world Spanish charm is visually apparent and as you travel up the windy road towards the winery, majestic mountains rise up in all directions. It is absolutely gorgeous, fruit tress and canopy style vines draping overhead. While it is unusual to see wine grapes grown this way, it is quite beautiful. In the summer months, temperatures rise up to nearly 40 degrees Celsius and having grapes grown ten feet overhead allows the sea breeze to cool and protect them. The vines are mixed with beautiful flowers, mango, guava, coffee, avocado, and orange trees. One of the proprietors, Victor Lugo Jorge greets us with an overview of the land (La Finca), the history of the grapes, and education in coffee and other produce grown on the property. Victor is the third generation tenant of this land, college educated, and articulates a deep passion for his family and the lands they grow their agricultural bounty on. We try red coffee beans directly off the plants before Victor shows us their roasting process. We walk around the charming main building and are welcomed with a warm smile, a plate of super sweet oranges, and some fresh water from the mountain springs above our heads. Victor begins by showing off some of their oldest 80 year old vines, as well as some as the newer 20 year old vines.
We then view the winemaking process from crush pads, stainless steel tanks, French and American oak barrels, and the bottling machine. The winery is relatively small scale but carries some of the longest tradition of wine growing on the island. Everything is done by hand in this family winery, or as a winery is called here, "Bodega". The land or "la finca" as the Spanish call it is absolutely stunning and a treat in its' own.
Victor Lugo Jorge treats us like family and does a fantastic presentation and tour of his "bodega". His love for the family land and their wines is present in the wide eyed and passionate descriptions he provides us. We sit down for a tasting with Victor on the terrace and we have an array of foods to pair with our tasting. There are local breads, cheeses, Iberian style ham, and sweet breads to indulge in. I am fully impressed as we all know, food and wine is the simplest way to my heart.
First we try a dry white Semi Seco wine. It is a lighter white wine with great mineral flavors from the volcanic soils. We then move on to the Rose which is a dry wine as well. Next, to my surprise and delight, I am treated to a barrel sample of a new, very special white wine they are producing, La Nina de la Laja. It is a wine dedicated to Victor's grandmother, the matriarch of the property. It has medicinal characteristics with tropical fruit flavors. Following this, we try the red Tinto Roble (2013). This wine is more age worthy (3-5 years) and made up of 90% Tintilla and 10% Listan Negra. I enjoyed this red tremendously although it is a lighter body red, it is truly a food wine. We finish with the 2014 Blanco Dulce or sweet wine which is comprised of 90% Muscat and 10% Malvasia. My favorites are the Tinto Roble and the Blanco Dulce.
The word "Roble" on the bottles stylistically refers to the fact the wine only stays in the barrel for up to three months. The local wine fruit flavors disappear if they are left in oak too long. The local red varietals are Tinto, Listan Negra, and Tintilla. The local varieties avoided phylloxera and are some of the only on the planet. The white variety of Malvasia is rooted in DNA directly from the Canary Islands and is virtually unknown elsewhere.
My #SipSavorServe recommendations:
- Sip on the Blanco Dulce on the patio during a warm evening. Although this is a sweet wine, it is not syrup like and has a good balance of sweetness and structure. It is made up of 90% Muscat and 10% Malvasia, the later only found in the Canary Islands.
- Savor the first and coming release of the La Nina de La Laja. This medicinal, tropical white has quite a lot going on yet it has near perfect harmony of flavors. It will pair well with full body cheese like a Manchego. Stay tuned for the inaugural release of this wine.
- Serve the 2013 Tinto Roble with a BBQ pork tenderloin or a lamb roast. It is well balanced, delicate, and has red berry fruit flavors.

Van drivers and fleets are becoming concerned that worsening van driver shortages could prevent their businesses operating successfully over the next year.
That's one of the findings in the new Van Excellence report, which also shows that fleets need to respond to challenges in van technology and compliance while also ensuring the well-being of drivers.
Supported by Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, Bott, Brigade, Hertz, Lex Autolease and Quartix, the 2018-19 Van Excellence report published by the Freight Transport Association (FTA) outlines how the van market has grown consistently since the 2008 recession. In 2017 there were around four million vans on the road, accounting for one in every 10 new vehicles registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) even though, overall, HGV and van registrations fell.
Although LCV registrations fell by 3.6% in 2017 to 362,149 units – the first decline since 2012, van activity rose. Vans constituted 15.4% of all traffic in Great Britain throughout 2017 (up 0.2% since 2016) and travelled 50.5 billion miles, a rise of 2.6% since the previous year and up 21.4% compared to a decade ago.
Yet the number of people identifying as a professional van driver fell 5.5% last year while research carried out by Mercedes-Benz Vans has found one in five van drivers, operators or owners believes a van driver shortage could prevent their businesses operating successfully over the next year.
This concern is heightened by the large numbers of EU nationals currently working across the van sector in the UK, as early indicators suggest fewer are choosing to move here after the Brexit vote. The proportion of van drivers which are EU nationals fell to 7.3% in 2017, compared with 12.9% in 2015.
The report also outlined how the so-called 'gig economy' has become widespread amongst the van industry. Around a fifth of professional drivers are estimated to be self-employed and, similar to self-employed workers from other industry sectors, are likely to earn less than their employed colleagues. While the majority of gig workers are young, there has also been an increase in those turning to self-employment around retirement age.
The rise of the gig economy has increased the flexibility of workers' hours and availability, and driven down costs for employers, but the relative low income and job insecurity poses a set of fresh challenges.
The Van Excellence report also puts focus on the need to focus on driver wellbeing and draws attention increasingly significant evidence that proves the value of caring for the physical and mental health of staff. Developing a happy, healthy workforce is not only a responsible thing to do, it can also offer benefits in performance, staff retention, and compliance.
Mark Cartwright, FTA's head of vans and light commercial vehicles, said: "Many van drivers are struggling with their mental and physical health but are unsure of where or how to obtain help. In fact, as detailed in the report, more than half of van drivers and owners believe there is a stigma attached to discussing mental health at work. Van Excellence is committed to addressing this issue and recently launched a campaign with the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to raise awareness of the resources available to those struggling with poor mental health."
The report also covers the challenges and opportunities posed by new vehicles technologies including autonomous driving, the shift to urbanisation and the rise of clean air zones – including a look at future fuels, and Brexit.

Lots of articles and blogs have been written on the subject of creativity. We all want to know how to tap into that precious creative power that hides somewhere in the few cubic centimeters of gray matter between our ears. It's easy to think that successful writers are just more creative than the rest of us and that they start writing after a great idea pops into their head. But my experience is just the opposite. For me, the creativity comes after I start writing, not before. I have to take that leap of faith and force myself to sit down to my keyboard, even if I don't think I have anything to offer. And then, as my fingers begin to move, ideas start to form. The very act of writing gets things going.
So, here's some advice for aspiring writers. Don't wait for ideas to come to you. Go out and find them as you write.

Peter Wade, an Australian by birth, was brought up in a Salvation Army family, met his wife Vivien in the Church of the Nazarene (also like the Salvation Army a Wesleyan church) and they married in December 1957. Both believed in their call to the ministry and went to the Life Bible College (a Pentecostal bible college) in Victoria Park, Perth, Western Australia. In March 1958 they were assigned to pastor their first church in Fremantle, a port city near Perth, and then commenced ministry on Easter Sunday 1959 at the Brighton Street Church, North Cottesloe, a beachside suburb, and enjoyed a productive season for the next six years.
Peter visited the USA for three months of summer school in 1965 and then returned to Australia to pastor the Taperoo Assemblies of God in Adelaide, South Australia. Eighteen months later they were invited to return to the US with their two boys and lived in Ohio for three years. Here they ministered widely across eastern and midwest USA and many friends were made during this time. They returned to Australia in 1970 and founded Positive Word Ministries Inc. as a teaching ministry, and later the Community Christian Church which they pastored for nine years. In 1995 their first website commenced online and it enabled them to minister to thousands of believers worldwide and continues to this day. Many books have been made available plus audio and video teachings.
A more detailed history of the Wades can be found on this page.
