#1. Grimes – Art Angels
Canadian Claire Boucher aka Grimes brings us her 4th album and there is no doubt that each record has seen a real improvement and maturation since her debut in 2010. Her first records were rather experimental, electronic records with some wacky vocals. Her last album, "Visions," in 2012 found Boucher switching things up a bit and adopting a more 80's synth-pop style which worked for her. Now, "Art Angels" this has proven to be her biggest success to date and although it contains more a lot more classic pop influences it's by no means a sell-out album. This is a diverse collection of pumping, jacking pop tunes, with euro dance beats, catchy guitar chords layered under her characteristic high pitched vocals. Grimes admits this is her most political album to date, and you'll hear her slating the media and women's portrayals in the media etc. "Art Angels," is the perfect pop album, inventive, imaginative, captivating and, best of all, super catchy. Best of 2015 for me!!!
#2. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly
I was a little taken back when I first listened to Kendrick Lamar's new album, "To Pimp a Butterfly". His last record from 2012, "good kid, m.A.A.d city," was a contemporary hip-hop album with addictive hooks and big beats which was quickly dubbed as a hip-hop classic on release. Now, three years later you'd might have expect Kendrick to stick to this winning formula, but no, that was chucked out of the window in favour of a proper old school vibe. Incorporating aspects of funk, jazz and soul, he's completely re-invented himself. This record wasn't intended to spawn massive global hits like his last, in fact, it's like he's made it for the true music fans out there. TPAB is so complex, with its multitude of layers, instruments and styles and it becomes better with each listen. It seems like the man has done it again, this is certainly another classic for the hip-hop archives.
#3. Deafheaven – New Bermuda
The critically acclaimed San Francisco metal band are back, bringing with them their mix of shoegaze tinged black metal. It's without doubt the most compelling metal album of the year. Their highly successful 2013 album, "Sunbather," was, as mentioned, lauded by many critics, however they also received a fair amount of stick from metal purists, labelling them as 'hipsters' and ruining the reputation of black metal. I didn't buy into this nonsense. Yes, it's not your typical black metal album, but things evolve and this is a great adaptation of the underground genre. It has brought black metal music to the attention of more people but it's still true to its roots. "New Bermuda," has outstanding melodic riffs, chugging guitars, huge blastbeats and its ability to switch between moods and atmosphere is mesmerizing. The five piece band have opted not to give us a sequel to the seminal, "Sunbather," and they have refused to pander to the metal community but instead, stuck to what they believe in and delivered an album that is just as experimental and powerful.
#4. FKA Twigs – M3LL155X
Ok, so M3LL155X (pronounced Melissa) isn't exactly an album but a five track EP running just short of 20 minutes. So why include it in you album of the year list you may ask? Well, if I answer with, "because I want to," isn't good enough reason, then I have no answer for you. If you've never heard of FKA Twigs I would suggest this would be a decent place to start. Think of her as a trippy, R & B version of Bjork or something. The whole EP is accompanied by a full length mini short film, which features some great dance moves, oddly dressed old ladies, sex dolls and a very unusual pregnancy. If this is good enough reason to check out one of the UK's brightest stars then I'm not sure what is.
#5. Health – Death Magic
HEALTH are another band I have trouble describing. Lets go for Industrial noise pop. Hmm, that sounds kinda crappy but gonna just ride with that for now. I believe this is their third studio album, however, they have done a couple of remix albums and rather recently the very well received Max Payne 3 soundtrack. I would say their music sits somewhere in between Trent Reznor's cold, industrial distorted guitars of Nine Inch Nails to early Depeche Mode but strangely this is paired with some very sweet delicate vocals a la Neil Tennent style (Pet Shop Boys). So yeah, that is why I find them hard to describe. Basically they sound like they are from the future! I would also say that Death Magic is possibly their easiest listen to date with some notably popier tracks present, take "Dark Enough" and "Life" as an example. Meanwhile the lead singles "Stonefist" and "New Coke" are both huge, stadium sounding electro rock beasts. The whole album is really slickly produced and it stands out as one of the most original records of the year.
#6. Ho99o9 – Dead Bodies In The Lake
If you're confused by the spelling of Ho99o9 it's pronounced, "Horror". These guys are a New Jersey duo who make a mixture of hip-hop and hardcore punk. Yep, I know what you are thinking, it sounds odd, and it is odd, however, pushing boundaries is exciting and the reason why these guys are in at No.7. Ho99o9 only appeared on my radar a couple of months back when a friend of mine recommended I gave them a listen. Not having the faintest idea of who they were, I turned to YouTube and started off with their biggest *cough* hit, "Bone Collector". Here I was met with some massive deep base lines, big beats, ruckus gig footage and dead bodies in sacks. Immediately I knew these guys were gonna be good. Next up on my playlist, the bizarrely named, "Da Blue Nigga From Hellboy". It's a real creepy and sinister sounding tune which is accompanied by a similarly disturbing video and from then I was sold. These tracks feature on previous EPs but the latest, "Dead Bodies In The Lake," album is an electrifying mix of thrash guitars, punk, beats and hip-hop. Fans of Black Flag, Death Grips, Odd Future and even, "Fat of the Land," era Prodigy will no doubt be into this one.
#7. Susanne Sundfør – Ten Love Songs
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, the Scandinavians don't just make good TV but make the BEST pop music. Susanne Sundfør only came to my attention when she featured on fellow Norwegian's, Royksopp's cracking album, "The Inevitable End," last year. This is Sundfør's third album to date and without doubt her best (in my humble opinion). Ten Love Songs covers all the pop basses, from the Euro-dance of, "Kamikaze," the shimmering disco of, "Fade Away," the electro pop genius of, "Deliverance," and the epic, powerful ballad, "Memorial". Yes, there are ten love songs, but they're not the sloppy stuff you'd expect from a bog standard pop record. Sundfør's work is far more left-field and the lyrics on the whole are pretty dark and obsessive.
#8. Bully – Feels Like
It's fairly easy to see where Bully get their inspiration from. That garage rock sound was pretty familiar in the 90s with bands such as Weezer, Nirvana and Hole leading the way. The four piece band was formed in Nashville, Tennessee and is fronted by the striking blonde figure of Alicia Bognanno. With a degree in Audio Recording and as the bands singer, songwriter, guitarist, engineer and producer, its easy to see who wears the trousers in this group. "Feels Like," is a collection of 11 quality grunge pop / rock fuelled tunes, with Bognanno incredibly powerful and uplifting vocals giving us pre-millennials a real nostalgic feel.
#9. Christine & The Queens – Christine & The Queens
Christine & The Queens is a one woman, synth-pop solo project by Héloïse Letissier, hailing from Nantes, France. After leaving theatre school in Paris and struggling with depression, she found herself befriending drag acts in London and was motivated by these people to begin writing music. They performed with her on stage initially and where known as her "Queens", hence the alias. Although her debut album, "Chaleur Humaine," was released in France in June of 2014, her follow up eponymous album was released this year. Its basically a re-issued with almost the same songs but with more English vocals and a couple of new tracks, one of which featuring my no.1 artist from last year, Perfume Genius, who she duets with on, "Jonathan". This is a brilliant dark, brooding and graceful track. "Saint Claude," her biggest hit to date is accompanied by a video of Héloïse in a sharp suit and shoes, which is characteristic of the shy woman who likes to come across very asexual. She certainly isn't your everyday pop star, melancholic, very much a recluse, focused on the performance and music. But this really is a stunning and beautiful record worth checking out.
#10. Young Galaxy – False Work
Amazingly, this will be the Canadian's fifth studio album. Having only released their first in 2005, that makes them pretty prolific in my book. Over the past three records they've really found their mojo and have been putting out their best work. Young Galaxy craft sublime dream pop, with melodic Balearic style sythns and finished with the delicate vocals of Catherine McCandless. The previous album, "Ultramarine," was one of my favourite albums of 2013 and began with a cracker of a track, "Pretty Boy". Although, "Falsework," isn't quite as good, it still opens with a really strong song, "Wear Out the Ground". Another highlight for me is the summery and uplifting, "Ready to Shine,". These guys are great songwriters and this could be a great little album to blow away your winter blues or to bring the summer in.

February 11, 2015
(Grand Rapids, OH) Planned large pipeline installations for Northwest Ohio are causing concern for many people, especially those who are targeted to have them installed near their residence. An additional concern that many are not aware of is the specific geology throughout the area that could cause problems, both upon installation and in the future.
Much of Northwest Ohio is in Karst Terrain, which means the geology is made up of layers of carbonate rocks. Carbonate rocks are known to be dissolved by water, especially acidic water. Because sinkholes can be found throughout the area, and some go undetected when they are formed underground, there is a real concern that a pipeline could unknowingly be built over underground terrain containing what is called "incipient" sinkholes. The fact that there are earthquake fault zones in the area compounds the likelihood of sinkholes due to the channeling of water along underground faults and fissures.
"Most people do not know about the huge 42" high pressure pipelines that are planned for Northwest Ohio to carry gas from unconventional shale drilling (fracking) to markets, mostly export markets out of the Dawn Hub in Ontario, Canada," stated Lea Harper, Managing Director of FWAP. "The only people directly contacted about these pipelines are the property owners in the path of the pipeline. They are obviously alarmed because of the blast danger in proximity to their homes and the decline in property values. But all those living in Northwest Ohio and especially those who care about forests, ecosystems and the Maumee River need to know about the potential impacts of these proposed pipelines because of the underlying geology and what can happen during pipeline installation and over time."
The ET Rover pipeline is a dual, side-by-side, 42" high pressure pipeline proposed to run through Ohio, across southern Wood County and under the Maumee River North of Defiance. The Nexus is a single 36" or 42" large pipeline that will cross under the Maumee River near Waterville at Farnsworth Metropark. Farnsworth Metropark is being surveyed for the Nexus pipeline. It is not known who gave permission to a pipeline company to survey a metropark. When the possibility of incipient sinkholes are present in an area, and there are plans to cross a huge waterway such as the Maumee River, not only is there a risk that the pipelines could collapse underground due to sinkhole formation on land, but a huge body of water could be drastically affected.
Sinkhole risks are outlined here: http://www.wwals.net/2014/10/18/sinkhole-formation-collapse-due-drilling-withlacoochee-river/. Drilling under riverbeds with a large sinkhole present or in the future could be especially harmful to a large river body such as the Maumee River. Of course, in the worst case, if a pipeline intersected an unknown sinkhole, the river would fill it up to be carried away below surface, decreasing the flow of the Maumee River. There could more water lost because of underground flow through caverns, if connected.
If a sinkhole formed after a pipeline was built, not only could the water flow be drastically reduced, the resultant leak or rupture of a large, high-pressure pipeline carrying gas from unconventional shale drilling could release radon from the radioactive materials brought to surface by the fracking process. No one knows the levels of radon in fracked gas at any moment in a large volume pipeline, but any amount of water soluble radium would pose a risk to drinking water supplies and would be impossible to clean up.
Once pipeline right-of-ways are established and the pipeline is built, they can also be reversed or carry different material. That is what caused the catastrophic Kalamazoo River pipeline rupture in Michigan that has so far cost almost $800 million dollars to clean up and is still not fully remediated. The especially corrosive and abrasive contents of dilbit were blamed for the failure of the pipeline. Without completely characterizing the material flowing through pipelines over time, there is a risk that corrosive, radioactive materials could compromise pipeline steel and coating integrity causing catastrophic rupture.
"Common sense would say that it is just not a good idea to locate large, high pressure pipelines in densely populated areas with karst terrain, and especially under a large and important river like the Maumee," continued Lea Harper. "Additional pipeline capacity to carry billions of cubic feet of fracked gas per day would not be necessary if it wasn't to export the gas to other countries for a higher price. It is baffling to think that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) would allow such a project, let alone issue a Certificate of Public Necessity and Convenience that would allow eminent domain to take private property to build these for-profit pipelines."
FreshWater Accountability Project (FWAP) began in Southeast Ohio to raise awareness and oppose the massive destruction of freshwater supplies by fracking, which consumes over five million gallons of water per frack – water that is gone forever from the water cycle. What is left is a huge hazardous and radioactive waste disposal problem in Southeast Ohio. Pipelines being built to provide the infrastructure required to carry fracked gas to markets are now a threat to property values, ecosystems and water supplies in the northern part of the state. Very little of this fracked gas will be used to heat Ohio homes, and it is questionable without knowing the radon content if fracked gas should even be allowed to enter homes.
Scoping meetings have been completed for the ET Rover pipeline, which is approximately six months ahead of Nexus in the FERC permitting process. Plans are being made to intervene in the ET Rover permitting process and to protest the Nexus pipeline at the Open Houses this week. In Wood County, there will be an information/organizing meeting on February 18 at 6:30 pm at Grounds for Thought on Main Street in Bowling Green. Similar regional efforts are ongoing throughout the state as concerned Ohioans organize to protect their property values, personal health and safety and natural environment.
Affected property owners dispute the pipeline companies' use of eminent domain to enable the export of fracked gas as a violation of property rights. The additional natural gas carrying capacity is not necessary for Ohio's natural gas needs. People are writing letters to their elected officials and FERC demanding that FERC not issue a permit, which would create a false claim for eminent domain power to take private property by the private, for-profit pipeline companies. Townships, municipalities and counties are issuing resolutions against them. There will be a meeting on March 3 with the Wood County Commissioners to ask for such a resolution. More information can be found at Ohioans Against Pipelines for Export on Facebook.

A recent news about a woman who has approached court for maintenance from first husband 3 years after divorce, WHILE she is now married to second husband!
The news is really shocking as given below:
The court, after hearing both the parties, pulled up Kirti for creating unnecessary trouble for Mayank, who is now well settled with his second wife and sent the case to mediation centre and asked them to solve the matter expeditiously.
Read my book on how to save on maintenance under CrPC 125 and DV Act. (Kindle eBook version) (Print Paperback version)

The court also asked Mayank to pay Rs.2,000 per month each to her and their son till the final outcome of the case.
Comments: As per Indian laws and Hindu marriage Act 1956, the woman is not entitled to maintenance from first husband now that she has remarried. So is not this a travesty of written law that you can order for maintenance like ordering a pizza… and it will be delivered to you at your (ex)-husband's expense … And your current husband is anyway available to provide for your more pressing shopping needs!

text: Alarmed by the massive usage of groundwater by the Coca-Cola bottling plant which has led to water scarcity in the area, as many as eighteen village councils in PM Modi's constituency Varanasi are demanding the soft drink maker be forbid from drawing groundwater.The villages in Mehdiganj area of Varanasi district claimed that they have been seeing water shortages since the plant started its operations in 1999."Elected village council heads represent the voice of the people, and they are clear that Coca-Cola is not welcome in Mehdiganj. It is time for Coca-Cola to pack up and leave," said Amit Srivastava of the California-based India Resource Center, which is supporting the village councils in their cause."Coca-Cola paints a pretty picture of itself internationally as a responsible user of water, but the reality in India is that it exploits groundwater at the expense of the poor, the women, children, farmers and livestock who have to live with less water because Coca-Cola mines groundwater in a water scarce area for profit," Reuters quoted Srivastava as saying.As Mehdiganj is mainly agrarian, villagers in the area depend on groundwater for most of their requirements. Coca-Cola, which uses groundwater for production purposes, competes with local people for water, according to environmentalists.Srivastava said the 18 village councils had written to the State Pollution Control Board, which gave a licence to Coca-Cola to open the plant, asking the officials to prevent the company from "extracting any more groundwater in the area."The Central Ground Water Authority had declared Arajiline block, where the Coca-Cola bottling unit is located, as "over exploited" in 2011, he pointed out.However, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages said that a study undertaken by the Central Ground Water Board in 2012 did not find any evidence to prove that company's groundwater usage had led to drying up of ponds, wells and hand pumps."The Central Ground Water Board observed that this depletion was not due to withdrawal of ground water by Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd (HCCBPL) plant," said a company statement.

I was listening to a college professor being interviewed on the radio and as he told of a time when he brought up the idea of solitude to his students, he said one of them asked "Why would anyone want to do that?" It made me sad.
I equate solitude with silence, and this made me remember a bus ride years ago in Honolulu, where I watched one person after the other get on plugged into their Walkmans. I felt sad then too, because it felt like they were isolating themselves and because I felt they couldn't be without noise. (Of course we can never be without noise, we can only choose the noise we want to listen to.) Now we have Twitter, FaceBook, My Space and numerous other social media sites. We can be alone in our homes yet not be alone at all.
Solitude has its benefits. Though its meaning is akin to loneliness, I think it's the state of being alone without being lonely. It is being at one with yourself, providing time that can be used for reflection, meditation, creativity or enjoyment. Think about this for a moment, everything we do, even those things we do with others, we actually do by ourselves, so solitude isn't something to be wary of!
Moments spent in solitude give me a rich, fulfilling peacefulness. I enjoy the quiet or creative moments, coming away with a feeling of satisfaction. I love walking in a wooded area, feeling the energies of the trees, listening to the birds, smelling the rich loam. I love writing at my desk, with only the sounds of nature and my pets around me. I love relaxing in a bubble bath, reflecting on my good, or sitting in my prayer chair, experiencing a deep meditation.
In our busy worlds, solitude is something we have to cultivate. It sooths our nervous systems, clears our minds, empties and then fills our hearts. It replenishes our soul. This is the most important benefit of solitude – replenishing our soul!
Ernest Holmes writes in the Science of Mind: "We are on the path of experience, just waking to the real fact of our true being; as we awake we find we are surrounded by many false conditions, but there is something within which remembers the real state. If we will sit in quiet contemplation of good, as an inner experience, we will experience the good which we contemplate."
In moments of quiet solitude, we remember who we are – Spirit having an experience we're calling being human.
Be still and know that I am God.
As I go into the silence, I breathe deeply and can feel the presence of the Source of all there is. I spend time here, remembering that all that I understand Spirit to be, I am. Spirit is not only within me, It is all around me, and even more than that. It is everything, manifest and unmanifest. It is Life Itself.
My soul yearns for me to consciously acknowledge it with spiritual nourishment. This silence is nourishment. As I move into the silent spaces between each breath, I let all thoughts be on God, the Beloved of my soul. I breathe deeply again, allowing peace to permeate every atom of my being. My body is refreshed and renewed. My mind is clear and my heart is pure.
I declare that I enjoy spaces of solitude in my life, and I cultivate more of them each day. These spaces replenish my energy levels and I am able to do what is mine to do with grace.
I am so grateful for the awareness of the beauty and benefits of solitude. I am grateful to be able to be in constant communion with Spirit. I release these words into the Law of Mind and know that they are done. And so it is.

"Originally released in 1982, this killer slab combines the talents of two of reggae's greatest male vocalists: the smoking DJ and producer Jah Whoosh, and Prince Jammy at Studio 1 and King Tubby's. Not that any other recommendation is necessary, but while we're at it, all of the tracks are eerie and atmospheric in soulful dub style, played by Leroy Wallace, Sly Dunbar, Errol Flabba Holt, Bingy Bunny, Ansel Collins, and others. Of the ten tracks here, six feature the A-sides with the combined dub flipsides tacked onto the ends. It works like a charm. A clear standout is Bim Sherman's opener, 'It Must Be a Dream,' with the dubwise elements added after his extended vocal, including a killer trombone solo by Vincent Gordon. Horace Andy's babymaker 'Tonight' is the dub version, but there's enough of his utterly sensual vocal to make the dread elements of dub come through in the track's eroticism. 'Dread Pan Some' and its dub feature U. Black and Andy interweaving their vocals together. Black's DJ toasting style is not as radically in your face as some of his predecessors, though it's just as effective in this context. This collection culls some rare tracks, and places them in a sequence that maximizes the dubwise trance elements and possesses true dread force. Recommended."

industrial standard. Only pure virgin copper base we specified that does not contain any recycled
material. Also, we have instead employed mechanical peeling – a very precisely controlled process that removes 100% of impurities and we picked the use of natural diamond dies over synthetic diamond
dies which yield more uniform volume reduction with reduced stress and improved lubricity.
102SSC wire whose surface structure is far superior to all others.With outer diameter accuracy of ±1μm far exceeding the ±0.8μm in Japanese standards for conventional copper wires. The conductor structure of PA-02 V2 is 3 element stranding. 3E stranding combines strands of three different diameters to increase the density of the wire by decreasing the spaces between strands. This results in a smaller outer diameter than the same gauge wire made with identical individual strands, plus a more accurate,
stable and perfectly circular cross section.

Lessons from leaders: A data-driven approach helps deliver engaging, relevant messages
As marketers, we know how important it is to understand our customers and reach them at just the right moment. We also know that consumers have more control of their digital environments than ever — and that they expect us to consistently make recommendations in line with their interests, personalities, and behaviors.1 So how can we regularly communicate in a relevant way with all of our customers?
According to our new report on MIT Sloan Management Review, success starts with a strategy that's backed by data. In the report, The Data-Driven Transformation, we speak with marketing leaders from Bayer, Tapestry Inc. (the parent brand for Coach, kate spade new york, and Stuart Weitzman), and Sprint. They open up with first-hand insights about transforming their teams to be more efficient, accurate, and agile. Here's a few key insights from the research — and some words of wisdom from these top analytics pros.
Move toward a unified technology stack — and educate as you go
A recent study by the Association of National Advertisers showed that top marketing performers are the same companies that spend the most money on marketing technology.2 In many ways, their investments are paying off, but for those still using separate solutions for separate channels, there's greater potential. Unifying their tech under a single, shared system could bring fuller, more tailored consumer insights — not to mention an easier way to evaluate what's working and what's not.
Jeff Rasp, director of digital strategy for Bayer's Consumer Health division, did just that, helping reimagine his team's approach to data. He oversaw the creation of a new marketing insights platform to consolidate data under a single customer ID, and also helped build the company's first attribution model to evaluate their success.
Assemble teams with the analytics skills to uncover actionable insights
To deliver the right messages at the right times, marketing organizations need data scientists, mobile developers, and other data professionals. For Rob Roy, chief digital officer at Sprint, that meant building a new in-house analytics team to take operations over from external partners.
"We needed to get the right people who know how to build the architecture to house all the data," Roy explains.
Once he found them, Sprint worked to integrate data across channels — from web and social media to retail and display — allowing the team more advanced customer segmentation capabilities.
Encourage collaboration across teams
A recent McKinsey study showed that 51% of top-performing marketers were part of a networked organization — one where cross-functional teams come together as needed. Parinaz Vahabzadeh, VP of global data labs at Tapestry, is one leader who's made sure her team collaborates as a single unit.
"Our mandate is to democratize the data," explains Vahabzadeh. "As a small, centralized team, we need to find ways to focus on the most impactful projects and also enable the broader teams to run analytics independently."

On July 10, 2014, MSU posted a press release concerning the research of James Pivarnic and Samantha Danbert, which found that MSU freshman and sophomore students who belonged to the university's recreational sports and fitness center earned higher GPAs than non-participating students. The two-year retention rate, which measures students who persist in their studies, was higher for the athletic participants as well, by 3.5%. Put in another light, that retention rate on a population of 49,000 students suggests that 1,575 more students would progress from their sophomore to their junior year in college because they participate in exercise at the university's athletic facility (http://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2014/want-a-higher-gpa-in-college-join-a-gym/).
The findings are consistent with higher-education research conducted over three decades by Ernest Pascarella and Patrick Terenzini (2005), who are famous for their work on how students are affected by their college experiences. Their research uncovered an association between academic success and connectedness to the college or university. In other words, the more involved students are in activities at the college or university, the greater is their academic success. The recent MSU study explores physical activity in a campus community, which is provided through the institution's athletic center.
Two dimensions caught my attention. First is the notion that academic success is enhanced by physical exercise. The study did not explore whether or not there was a mind-body relationship. Rather, it looked at summative (end-results) data. Those who exercised persisted in college and earned higher GPAs than students who did not exercise at the athletic center. I see a possible research project here. As a layperson, I always believed that the mind is part of the body. Like any muscle, oxygen, the blood and all its helpful nutrients will circulate to the mind when the individual exercises. As all of the body's systems and components improve with exercise, it is logical that the mind grows stronger as well. A fit mind has the stamina to focus on learning. Moreover, the discipline required to complete a workout transfers over to one's studies. The student's brain is better prepared for mental exercise; the student's dedication to a disciplined study routine is trained indirectly through the physical workout regimen. At least, that is how I perceived my body to work when I exercised while attending college.
The second dimension is the role of community. Pascarella and Terenzini's research demonstrates the power that belonging to a community has in affecting student retention. "Community" can take many forms. It can be a student club or organization, working collaboratively with other students on projects, interacting with and developing relationships with faculty, belonging to a fraternity or sorority, holding a job on campus, and so forth. The source of the community is not as important as the effect. Regardless of the source, student retention tends to improve when belonging to a community. Pivarnic and Danbert's research shows the positive effects of belonging to a student athletic community in particular.
The community dimension is something I experienced firsthand when I started working out in a CrossFit® gym in 2005. The high-intensity workouts were (and still are) intensively grueling. The fact that I was not alone in pushing myself to my limit kept and is what keeps me going. When I'm working out in an instructor-led class with others, the instructor pushes us; the fact that others persist in the workout also pushes us to keep going. It is almost as if we are in a battle together; however, that battle is within ourselves. When working out, we are so focused on what we are doing that we tend to "zone out" everything around us. However, when we're done, we feel proud of what we accomplished, and share a bond in knowing we shared the challenge of completing such an intense experience together. I often feel that if I can complete a HIIT workout, I can complete almost anything to which I set my mind. I feel proud of myself and happy for the accomplishments of those who "suffer" with me. I also have a better understanding of my limitations. Knowing those, I have developed confidence that I can overcome my limitations with practice and self-discipline.
My book Transformational Leadership and High-Intensity Interval Training explored this sense of accomplishment within community among a population of CrossFit® athletes who are organizational leaders. I was gratified to see certain hunches validated through my exploratory study. These leaders found mind-body connections between their high-intensity athletic training and their approaches to leadership. Achievement within a community was motivating and inspirational to them. Their love of community spills over to their leadership style. They consider their employees teammates. The leaders who participated in my study are successful in their careers. I can't help but wonder if there is a parallel between the research of Pivarnic and Danbert among college freshmen and sophomores and organizational leaders. Both groups are athletes who belong to a community, and both are successful in their respective contexts. Perhaps this is a question I will add to the many other suggestions for future research that I proposed in my book.

Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V: SYH) CEO Jordan Trimble on Upcoming Drilling at the Flagship Moore Project, Exploration Programs at Partner Funded Projects, & Why 2018 is Going to be a Transformative Year in the Uranium Market
Gerardo Del Real: This is Gerardo Del Real with Resource Stock Digest. Joining me today is President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V: SYH)(OTC: SYHBF), Mr. Jordan Trimble. Jordan, thank you for your time today.
Jordan Trimble: Thanks for having me, always a pleasure.
Gerardo Del Real: Listen, a staple of Skyharbour and a part of the reason why it's so attractive to me is because you employ the prospect generator model, but you also have a flagship and in the last week or two we've seen you execute that beautifully. You now have both partners, Azincourt and AREVA, launching exploration programs and you got work going on at Moore.
Can we start with the news the last couple of days with your partners beginning these exploration programs because it's going to be an important catalyst for you this year?
Jordan Trimble: Yeah, absolutely. As you know, we have this dual-pronged approach, strategy to creating shareholder value. One with the high-grade discovery potential at our flagship Moore Project. We'll be drilling there shortly and we'll talk a little bit more about that later on.
But, in the last few days you've seen a couple of news releases starting with AREVA about to commence their 4,500 meter, 5,000 meter drill program at our Preston Project. As you're well aware they're earning in over the next 6 years. It's an $8 million dollar deal, $7.3 million in exploration expenditures and $700,000 in cash payments to earn up to a 70% stake. So, a very strategic partner, a very important deal. They're starting these programs with a $2 million budget over the next year. That includes this drill program. They've gone in, they've done some geophysics and some data comp as well. So we'll see steady news flow from that, needless to say we'll benefit if there's a major discovery made. We retain a minority interest at the end of the day assuming they earn in on that option agreement.
And then just yesterday, we had news out on Azincourt, starting their exploration programs. They're going to be doing some geophysics to further refine drill targets going forward and then hoping to get drill rigs there later this year. So, lots of news flow. Again, these two deals combined, you're looking at up to $9.8 million in total exploration expenditures. $1.7 million in cash payments and some shares of Azincourt that have been issued as well to us and our partners.
It's an exciting few months ahead of us. This is actually going to be the busiest exploration season that Skyharbour's ever had when you factor in those two programs that our partner companies are carrying out on the west side of the basin by Fission and NexGen, as well as our upcoming drill program at Moore. Lots of drilling and lots of news flow to come.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent, now talk to me about Moore because that's the flagship of course. So it's great to have the partners spending money, exploring, especially considering that they're doing it next to NexGen's and Fissions; projects, which of course are world class projects in their own right. But the Moore property is the flagship. What's going on there?
Jordan Trimble: Yeah, it is the crown jewel, if you will, right now for the company and that's where we feel we have the best shot of making that next big high-grade discovery and continuing to expand the known high-grade mineralization uranium that's there. It's shallow, it's along this 4 kilometer corridor called the Maverick Corridor. And keep in mind, too, this project is ideally located on the eastern side of the basin where the infrastructure is near Denison's flagship project, the Wheeler River Project. You have the access road going up to McArthur River that is just west of our border.
It's a great project in terms of location and upside potential. As you may have seen a couple of weeks ago, we announced – and this isn't new for us and for this project – a drone geophysical MAG survey. This is very innovative, it's cutting edge and the reason that we're excited to get the results from this program – it's just wrapping up now – is that one, it's a lot less expensive so we can start with that, but two, specifically for what we're looking for and in the basin, these are high-grade, low tonnage deposits. You could find a lot of uranium in a very small area.
When you're doing your geophysics, when you're flying, whether it's an airplane or a helicopter, you're limited in terms of the spacing of the geophysics, the line spacing. As a result your geophysical signature is much more coarse if you're flying it, especially in an aircraft. With a drone you can get much tighter spacings. You have a much more refined geophysical signature and this allows us to pinpoint specific targets. And in the case of Moore, we're flying the Maverick Corridor, for that 4 kilometer long corridor, it allows us to get 20 meter spacings on it. So it will allow us to pinpoint specific cross-cutting structures on that main corridor and that's a very important control for high-grade mineralization at this project as well as other projects in the Athabasca Basin.
This is the first of its kind being flown, being done on the Moore project. This will help refine additional drill targets when we get back to drilling it in February, coming up in the next few weeks. We have a budget for about 5 to 6 thousand meters, call it, a drilling.
It's exciting. As I highlighted before, we are employing the most innovative techniques and methodologies we can. Anything we can do to use the science to better increase our chances of making high-grade discoveries, expanding on the known high-grade zones of uranium mineralization, we are employing. I really do think this could be the key to unlocking additional discoveries at the project.
Gerardo Del Real: Wonderful. Now this survey's being done at 20 meter spacing? Is that correct, Jordan?
Jordan Trimble: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So, the previous geophysics that was done on the project was much wider spacings, 100 to 200 meter spacings. This really gets us in there and allows us to identify specific structures, in particular cross-cutting structures along that main conductive corridor. These cross-cutting structures break up that corridor. They allow the fluids to come up and that can be a key control for high-grade uranium deposition.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent. Now the last time I saw you, Jordan, I was at a conference. The interest for uranium was starting to pick up. You were recently at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. I'd love to get your take and your insights from the conference. Was it well attended? I hear that the turnout was fantastic frankly.
Jordan Trimble: Yeah, it was. It was the busiest, from what I heard, the busiest conference since 2012. I don't know the exact number. I was hearing about 7 or 8 thousand registrants. So, it was very busy.
We saw it at the booth, in the deal room, the one-on-one meetings as well, at the panel. I was on the uranium panel on the Sunday and I did a couple of presentations. It was great to see there's definitely a renewed buzz and we'll see what the markets do over the course of the next 12 months.
The interest is back. There's no question. We've seen the commodity prices start to move. You and I talked a little bit about this. We've seen the commodity prices start to move, the junior miners, I think there's still some catching up to do. But as we've just discussed, there's been a lot of money made on the TSX Venture and the CSE in particular over the last six months in some of these non-resource sectors. You could start to see some of that capital hopefully flow back into the resource and mining space over the coming months. That would be positive, obviously, for junior miner share prices.
Gerardo Del Real: Were you seeing a lot of the retail side of the investment space at the conference?
Jordan Trimble: Yeah, it was a lot of retail. I did see for the first time in a couple of years some more institutional shareholders and investors there, private family offices, resource funds. No question there was a mix, but a big retail audience and it's a big conference, right? This is the time of year here in Vancouver. You have Round Up, you have the VRIC, you have a couple of conferences all in and around the same time so you got everyone, a lot of the industry that's here at this point in time.
Gerardo Del Real: Wonderful, now, Amir Adnani always likes to think he is one of the most insightful people in the uranium space and I joke, because of course he is, but, you also have an opinions that I value. What are your thoughts about the uranium space? We've seen the consolidation and the price. I happen to think that's a good thing. I personally believe that the majors are not going to allow these prices to stand the way they are now. What are your thoughts? You're a lot more insightful. You have your finger on the pulse and this is what you do every day, all day. I'd love to hear your insights there, Jordan.
Jordan Trimble: Absolutely. Well, Amir definitely is an expert on the space. If you look at the last few months of news out of the uranium sector, and in particular, November, December you had major, major cuts announced by Cameco at McArthur, that's 15 to 18 million pounds potentially this year. Now keep in mind that that's just shutting down right now. As of February 1st they plan to no longer be producing at McArthur for this year. That's the world's largest mine, richest mine, one of the lowest cost operating mines out there. That's a major, major cut by the world's largest publicly traded uranium producer and then just shortly thereafter we had the news out of Kazakhstan, Kazatomprom announcing 20% cut over the next three years. 2018, you have right now over 20% of global primary mine supply that's going offline.
And I like to highlight this point. It's important to note that this is at the low end of the cost term. These mines, Cameco's McArthur River and Kazatomprom's mine, Kazakhstan is the lowest cost producing region in the world. So, these mines that are being shut down or are curtailing production, this is the low end of the cost curve, right? As we see again, these higher priced contracts roll off, we know 70% of them roll off in the next five or six years and there's a lot of them rolling off in the next few years so that's imminent. As those higher prices contracts roll off these higher cost producers, the marginal producers in other parts of the world simply won't have a leg to stand on to renegotiate that high price that they were benefiting from, that they were able to sell the material into over the past five or 10 years.
What are they going to have to do? Either the price of uranium has to move back up so they can negotiate a higher price or they're going to have to shut down production. They're not going to continue producing at a loss. I think you could see even more cuts in the next year or two as some of these higher cost producers' contracts roll off so that's worth noting.
As far as the price and what I'm expecting in 2018, look, we need to see the fuel buyers, the utilities come back to the market in a meaningful way. I really do think that these recent production cuts are going to force their hand. They're going to have to come back at some point. There isn't always going to be this abundant supply coming from the miners. We're already now going to see a supply deficit for 2018, the first time in a long time even when you factor in secondary supply. So that's exciting. That's positive going forward. That's bullish for the price of uranium, but, I think, the real catalyst to send this price much higher as we've spoken about before, we need to see these fuel buyers coming back, contracting again. We know that a lot of these contracts do roll off in the next little while. They have to come back and I think these recent shutdowns are going to accelerate that process.
I really do think 2018 is going to be the year that we really start to see the price move. I do think we bottomed. You saw that in late 2016. It's been consolidating for the last year, year and a bit. And I think now we're going to start to benefit from a real bona fide recovery in the price and obviously, any company that offers investment exposure to that commodity price to uranium is going to benefit from that as well, like a Skyharbour.
Gerardo Del Real: Very well said, Jordan and all jokes aside, I encourage everybody to do their due diligence on Skyharbour, UEC, URZ and, of course, Fission. I think those are, me personally, my top four holdings. Again, on a personal note as far as stock goes. So, great leadership, great projects, great team.
Jordan, anything else that you'd like to add?
Jordan Trimble: No, I think that that covers it off. Keep an eye out for news flow over the next few months. Three programs that will be underway come February for Skyharbour. So lots of news flow. I really do think this is going to be a transformative year for the uranium market and the uranium companies.
Gerardo Del Real: I absolutely agree. Jordan, thank you so much for your time.
Jordan Trimble: Thank you.

Learning to cut your kid's hair can save you a lot of money. It also requires a saintly amount of patience.
I decided to try cutting my 8-year-old's hair and save the 17 bucks that the local Supercuts wanted for a haircut. 17 dollars!!! Whatever happened to "Shave and a haircut, two bits"? Anyways, after trying with my Norelco beard trimmer and giving him a bald spot, I decided I needed better tools.
I treated this like a weekend home improvement project and ran out to pick up a set of clippers, some scissors and a barber pole. We restarted the salon session after a visit to the local drug store where I found a complete haircut kit for $15. What a deal… clippers, a comb, scissors and smock. Thank you cheaply made Chinese goods.
After the 30th time of saying "stop moving around or I might cut it crooked" and "stop scratching I know it's itchy", we were almost to the promised land. I just had to try and get the side burns right. "A little off the left…wait… too much. A bit off the right. Dammit! It's crooked"
We finally got it right and were even able to hide the bald spot.
There is no real moral or lesson to this story other than in my old age I'm getting too cheap to pay $17 for a stinkin' haircut.

When I return from a trip, there are many, sometimes competing, thoughts running through the undoubtedly paisley shaped region of my brain that is dedicated to decorating and landscaping. Like my sometimes outlandish nightly dreams which might star the (unlikely) likes of Raymond Burr hours after my viewing of Rear Window, these thoughts on design are influenced by what I have seen over the course of my day and my travels. I return from Colonial Williamsburg thinking, "I need more candles! Yes, more candles…and wing chairs!" I return from Rehoboth Beach thinking, "Shells! I'll incorporate shells!" I return from Baltimore at Christmastime thinking, "A hubcap Christmas tree! I've got to get me one of those!!"
Well, maybe not the hubcap tree so much, but I am liking bicycle wheel snowmen a lot. They, like the hubcap tree, are a fixture at the kitsch extravaganza that is 34th Street in Baltimore. If you're not familiar with the area, just take Falls Road south, make a left on 36th, pass the three story pink flamingo strapped to the fire escapes on the left, make a right on Keswick, park in front of the house with the backlit screen on the porch roof showing the Pink Panther's Pink Christmas show on a Blue Ray loop, make a left, and you're there. 34th Street is one solid block of skinny little rowhouses decked out from curb to rooftop with lights, candy canes, inflatables, motionette Santas, makeshift trees with beer cans for ornaments, train sets, menorahs, music, and more.
And the good news is that you too can have a crazy Christmas house, because there are two houses for sale on the block! 729 W. 34th is on the market for $245K and 719 is listed for a bargain $234K. Built at the turn of the century (the 20th century), they both give you the chance to trick out your house the way you always wanted, with a guarantee that no humbug neighbor is going to call the cops.
I'm not really in the market, but I am kind of hooked on the snowmen. I'm really digging these ones in this photo link, and I want 'em. I wonder if it would be too forward of me to just mail a postcard to 708 W. 34th and ask (beg) the residents to help hook me up. Stalkerific, I know, but you have to start somewhere. Plus, I figure that if you have 45,000 people parading past your door every year, you're not so much into privacy, right?

"High Profile"
Watercolour 370 x 270mm
My process is one of overlaying colour in several layers. I start off with a pencil drawing made using a rough grid dividing the page in sixteen squares. I then lay in the main areas of colour with fairly wet watercolour with a 1/2 inch flat brush.
After that I work in specific areas with a rigger brush - anything from no 0 to 3, depending on the subject matter. When painting animals or birds, I use a very dry brush, which I use almost like a colouring pencil, making the strokes in the direction of the hair growth ( or feathers, in the case of a bird). I often use a damp brush to soften edges of painted areas.
It now becomes almost a game of "find the differences" between the reference picture and my painting. I concentrate on the shapes and shades of colour.

What to Do When a Squirrel Gets in Your Furnace
Wild animals such as squirrels will enter your home to avoid cold or wet weather and may become trapped inside. When a squirrel becomes trapped in your furnace, it likely entered your home through the vents and ducts of your heating system.
You need to remove the squirrel from your furnace carefully to avoid setting the animal loose inside your home or being bitten. You do not want to allow the squirrel to die inside your home due to the odor and high potential for exposure to harmful diseases and bacteria.
Turn off the Furnace
Turn your heater and furnace off immediately if you believe there is a squirrel or other animal in your furnace. You do not want to have it accidentally turn on and turn your squirrel into a crispy critter. Burned, rotting animals can pose a significant potential health problem within your home. Dead animals can be be very unpleasant to clean out and remove safely.
Contact a Professional
Contact a wildlife or pest control professional to determine the most efficient and effective way to have the animal removed from your furnace without anyone getting bitten or the squirrel getting loose in your home. In some areas, you may be able to contact your county animal control office and have animal control officers come professionally remove the animal from your furnace as a public service. Be aware that trying to remove an animal yourself without using any expert techniques or equipment can be very dangerous.
Set traps for your squirrel to remove it from your furnace and home completely. Live traps can be set in your furnace room near the door of the furnace so that the squirrel can leave the furnace and be humanely captured then removed alive from the home. Otherwise, you can use poison bait and snap traps to kill your squirrel; however, you want to ensure the squirrel dies somewhere you can easily locate it and remove it.
Removing a squirrel from your furnace is not something you want to have to do more than once. Locate the squirrels entry points to your home and cover them with hardware cloth or a metal grate that will prevent squirrels from re-entering your home in the future. If you have large trees surrounding your property, you may need to cut off branches to limit access to your home.

In case this information is difficult to find in the 150 pages of other threads.
We designed the Pi-DAC+ to offer great performance at an entry level price. This is only made possible by the latest generation DAC's using integrated line drivers at the output. To keep costs and component count low, the Pi-DAC+ utilises this feature and uses a simple passive filter at the output to remove high frequency noise generated in the conversion process. This CAN make the Pi-DAC+ more sensitive to the interconnecting cables, namely the cable length and quality. The loading effect of the device which the Pi-DAC+ is plugged into can also affect performance.
Simply, we recommend keeping the cable lengths as short as possible, and use the highest quality cables you can afford.
Best regards,

Horse owners surprised by flood waters
Tijuana River Valley ranchers and horse owners say they were surprised by flood waters that rose so quickly Wednesday morning that many couldn't move their animals to safety in time.
Trudy Hoffman, who keeps horses at the Kimzey Ranch near Monument Road and Hollister Street, walked through inches of mud Thursday, recalling the sequence of storm events that started just after 11:30 a.m.
"It felt like a tsunami," Hoffman said as she passed muddied horse stalls and flooded chicken coops. "In about 15 or 20 minutes, there was a wall of water, a brown ocean, all around and the waves kept coming until it was up to the bellies of the horses."
Residents around San Diego County were recovering Thursday after being inundated by rain from a second storm in three days.
Emergency workers made dramatic border-area water rescues Wednesday, where 21 residents and ranch hands had to be rescued from homes, ranches and roofs of cars. Rescuers also saved 70 horses.

In the Tijuana River Valley, many blame flood-control channels clogged with sediment, trash and debris for the problems. Fire officials say it appeared that debris had also dammed the river itself in several places, causing water to flow over banks.
The channels had been cleaned of debris – pieces of wood, plastic bottles and parts of children's toys – twice since Saturday. But locals say it's not enough.
"These should be 8 to 10 feet deep and be kept clear," said Dick Tynan, who owns ranch land at Hollister and Monument, as he looked into the Smuggler's Gulch flood-control channel. "If it were regularly maintained, this wouldn't have happened."
Tynan's neighbor, Jesse Gomez, who grows corn, zucchini and grape tomatoes, fared better than he did after a storm Dec. 1, when he lost $10,000 in watermelons.
Gomez was visited Thursday by San Diego City Councilman
Lt. Dan De Sousa with the county's Department of Animal Services said 12 rescued horses were being held by the Border Patrol and his agency had one. A number of private ranches also were holding onto unidentified horses.
Three horses drowned Wednesday on the Kimzey Ranch and one was euthanized by a county veterinarian. De Sousa said a woman reported 15 dead goats on her property. He expects more reports of dead animals in the coming days. Several dogs were taken to the Chula Vista Animal Shelter.
Hoffman and her son, Robert, and a half-dozen other horse owners worked as the water continued rising about noon Wednesday until they couldn't feel the ground underneath them.
"It was awful listening to the animals crying and screaming in fear," said Hoffman, who watched as the horse that had to be euthanized broke its ankle as he tried to get out of the water by jumping onto a board.
Elsewhere across the county, about 1,000 of the estimated 5,500 SDG&E customers who lost power Wednesday were still without electricity at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The outages were mostly in the Ramona and Julian areas.
The Mountain Empire School District in East County had a second snow day Thursday. School officials would not know until about 5 a.m. Friday whether the schools would reopen.
Meanwhile, Tijuana River Valley residents were absorbing all that happened in the preceding 24 hours, and considering the future.
Cruz Ramirez left for lunch just before the flooding began and within 45 minutes his nursery near Hollister was filled with foul water. He said the sewage-tainted water likely will kill all his plants, estimated at about $600,000. He had no insurance.
"I guess I'll start all over again," said Ramirez, who was airing out a truck with mud on the seats."
Trina Corder, an Encinitas substitute teacher who owns a 10-year-old Arabian horse named Sierra, roamed a staging area early Thursday in hopes of finding Sierra. Sierra was among the horses rushed to higher ground Wednesday. "I had no idea it was flooded," Corder said. "I was at work and then I even went to the gym. By the time I showed up she was already out of there."
Martha Torkington, owner of the River Valley Ranch on Monument Road, was at home in Coronado when the flooding began.
Her husband, who was at the ranch, phoned and said, everything was fine. "Wet, but fine," Torkington said. Minutes later he called with a different message: "You gotta get down here. It's flooded," he said.
The couple evacuated 60 horses from their ranch with the help of friends and several horse owners.
"We tied horses up on trees on higher ground," Torkington said.
Authorities recommend residents in the area who were wading in the muddy water to see a doctor and update their tetanus and hepatitis shots.
"It's just a precaution," said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. "It's just really dirty water. There's no telling what's in it."
DeSousa also said animal services is making sure ranchers are prepared for an upcoming storm. He said ranchers and horse owners need to network with each other to be prepared to evacuate their animals should flooding reoccur.
Another storm is expected to hit Monday, National Weather Service forecaster Rob Balfour said. But it shouldn't be nearly as strong as the two storms that drenched the county this week.
Monday's storm is expected to drop about a third of the precipitation that Wednesday's storm brought.
A much wetter storm could arrive the weekend after Christmas, Balfour said.
"The storm door isn't closed yet," he said.
Staff writer Rob Krier contributed to this report.

My mum always taught me never to back down from a challenge. To always put your all into something, even if it's difficult or it seems too hard or out of reach. But I never really understood. I wanted to be lazy, I didn't want to work hard, I wanted an easy path that involved very little effort. It was only after I entered my mid-twenties and went on a Roadtrip that I learned the power of facing adversity, and putting in the miles through the mud to get something accomplished.
I moved to the other side of the world from Australia at the age of twenty-one. I had never lived away from home, I didn't have a plan, and until then, I had lived a pretty sheltered life. It was a huge shock, and five years later, I look at all the challenges I faced, the endless tears, the financial burdens, the unknown immigration statuses, the isolation,the cynical opinions, and I can say without hesitation that I wouldn't trade it for any other path. The tension of voluntarily sitting in difficult times made me who I am today. I wouldn't be half the person I am today–with the knowledge, skill set or experiences–if it wasn't for facing hardship head-on and not backing out to live a cushiony life.
This topic of hardship reminds me of our interview with Switchfoot in 2008. My mind was blown by what Jon Foreman had to say about tough times: he said that tension is a good thing; it's the only way you can make a pure sound on a guitar or violin. So long monologue rant aside, this playlist is all about Leaders who say "Make it hard on yourself!" It's character building. It tests you. And it may make you question a lot of your decisions, but you may be surprised by what comes out of you inner self. We are all tougher than we think!
'Til next week guys!

Did you wonder how is Internet Explorer 8 doing? You can take a look at the real time market share of IE 8 since the new version of the web browser was released.
It's interesting that there was an usage drop of IE 8 with users going back to Explorer 7. But with the so called compatibility view button (which renders a webpage in IE 8 like the previous IE 7 would do) there shouldn't be any problem at all. More info about this here.
