As is characteristic of this company, management has acted swiftly to execute an additional acquisition, putting the placing proceeds to work with another immediately earnings-enhancing acquisition, creating a Group with diversified revenue and profits, significant growth potential and greater visibility in a post-COVID world. We reintroduce estimates with CAGR in revenues of 29% between FY 2021 and FY 2023 and a CAGR in EBITDA of 34%. Quantuma, an insolvency and restructuring specialist targeting SMEs, is being acquired for £26.95m from existing resources to give an EBITDA multiple of 7.47x (EBITDA March 2020: £3.6m). Our forecasts take into account the greater visibility and predictability that the recent acquisitions bring to the Group. Our new SOTP valuation arrives at a reinstated price target of 300p.

Keywords published a H1'20 trading updating this morning for the period ending 30 June. The group expects to report revenues of EUR173.5m, implying YoY growth of 13% (of which 8% CCY LFL) and a an adjusted PBT figure of EUR21.7m, an 18% increase YoY. Adjusted EBITDA is expected at EUR30.8m, up 19% YoY. The group continues to pursue M&A opportunities and highlights liquidity of c.EUR200m including EUR101m of net cash. We note that the run-rate on growth and margins implied by H1 performance appears to be toward the top-end of consensus expectations for FY20.
Companies: Keywords Studios Plc
In Keywords Studios' trading update, management expectations are for H120 revenues of approximately €173.5m, delivering organic growth of 8% and a rise of 13% over H119 (€153.2m). Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be €30.8m (17.8% margin), a 19% increase on H119 (€25.8m), with adjusted PBT of €21.7m, 18% higher than H119 (€18.4m). Given the impact of COVID-19, this represents a strong performance, helping to demonstrate the benefits of a diversified services business, with a global footprint. We maintain our view that Keywords is well placed as the only games service provider on a global scale. The P/E rating, though undoubtedly high (52.8x FY20e, 40.1x FY21e), reflects the increasing recognition of Keywords' resilient growth credentials, but should fall further as Keywords executes its buy-and-build strategy. Following its placing in May, Keywords has c €200m of dry powder to convert a 'strong and attractive' M&A pipeline.
This morning's announcement that VDTK has been awarded a sizeable, $US2.2m / 1.5MW, contract by SAF Group following the positive evaluation of its product is very encouraging. The six unit order from specialist engineering, construction and project management company SAF Group follows successful trials of VDKT's lightweight and robust solar energy product at one of SAF's sites (announced on June 22nd), and thus provides significant affirmation of the potential of its product to provide green energy effectively in a wide variety of settings. As a result of the win, VDTK will deliver six containerised ultra-light units from its manufacturing plant at Lainate in Northern Italy, for delivery in the coming months, with deployment of VDTK's product to provide temporary and semi-permanent power in the Sindh province of Pakistan across SAF's operations.

This morning's announcement from WATR again places the company's successful reacquisition strategy under the spotlight, with the Melbourne acquisition adding $AU250k of profits to the Corporate business and $AU1.29m revenues for less than a $AU1.8m purchase price. This latest reacquisition means that the group is keeping up the strong pace set earlier with the Maryland acquisition last month, following on from San Jose and Minneapolis in May and June respectively. It is also a reflection of the company's global approach. With strong technology and capabilities in the field of minimally invasive leak detection and remediation, WATR is able to benefit from drivers which go well beyond national frontiers, since water infrastructure challenges are well-nigh universal.

Intelligent Ultrasound has announced its results for the 6-months to June 2020. EBITDA loss of £1.2m was slightly ahead of the recent trading update expectation (£1.3m-£1.4m) on revenues of £2.5m for the period, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19. Currently all group revenues are generated by the Simulation division which successfully minimised the impact of COVID-19 on sales and marketing activities to limit the group level impact. Importantly, the first ScanNav AI software product remains on track to deliver revenues in 2021, while commercial discussions for the second product, AnatomyGuide, are on-going. Cash at period end was £10.1m. COVID-19 uncertainties led us to withdraw forecasts and we remain Under Review.

Anexo has released a good AGM trading update with trading performing in line with management expectations. The Group indicates it intends to reinstate financial guidance for 2020 at the interim results in August which should give investors added comfort that the business is performing well and seeing improving underlying trends, a strong message to the market.

This morning's news from MLVN that its Singapore operation is to be closed marks a further stage in the company's ongoing response to the challenges posed by Covid-19, which have also included a fund-raise and a change in management. Loss-making 2018 and 2019, Singapore has this year confronted problems common to all global education businesses; and closure reflects recognition by management of the lack of a clear pathway to profitability for this business against this backdrop, not just in the short but in the medium term.

RBG Holdings pre-close trading update to June 30th confirms a strong H1 performance for RBL, the Group's law firm, with revenues up 36% like-for-like to c.£11.4m YoY. Convex, the CF boutique, understandably has faced COVID headwinds, with most of its H1 pipeline deferred indefinitely, whilst Litigation Finance continues to grow its pipeline and financing commitments on a longer term view. Due to continued uncertainty from COVID we withdraw our forecasts this morning, with a view to reinstating once more clarity on H1 outturn and momentum into H2 is available.
Companies: RBG Holdings Plc
Bango's H1 20 trading update in our view delivers a number of confident messages. Growth in the key End User Spend ("EUS") metric remainsrobust, and the group delivered record revenue growth and EBITDA during the period. The group's financial position saw a solid improvement in the first half. A closing gross cash position of £4.2m represents a £1.5m increase on the FY 19A level and demonstrates the company is now generating cash from its operations. H1 20 was a busy period for Bango, with a number of new contracts signed in both the payments business and Bango Marketplace, establishing a good base for growth in the second half and into 2021. We make no changes to estimates following the update but believe that Bango continues to demonstrate strong momentum and that the group remains well placed to deliver its FY 20E targets.

Avacta Group plc (AVCT): Expansion of agreement with Daewoong Pharmaceutical
Franchise Brands' results for the half year paint a picture of a resilient performance against the headwinds and challenges provided by the COVID-19 pandemic. With most of the Group's largest businesses deemed to be essential services, management was able to limit the Group revenue reduction to just 10% before the addition of a maiden contribution from Willow Pumps. Tight cost controls also mitigated the impact and the Group's overall performance in testing conditions is a testament to the strength of management and the investments made in the businesses over the past two years A strengthened balance sheet courtesy of the April fundraise puts Franchise Brands in a strong position to grow organically and through complementary earnings enhancing acquisitions.

Regis College has a new resident. Jesus the Homeless, a sculpture cast in bronze depicting Christ as a homeless man, was installed outside the Jesuit school of theology at the University of Toronto on Feb. 23.
This is Jesus Christ, thought artist Timothy Schmalz while mesmerized by a homeless man lying on the sidewalk on University Avenue. It was just before Christmas 2011, and the figure was wrapped in a sleeping bag in the middle of the day.
Haunted by this image, Schmalz, a Christian sculptor and public monuments artist, felt compelled to visually translate it. He cast the hollow, life-size figure lying on a New York-style bench in bronze. It weighs 320 kg and Schmalz says it will last 500 years.
The figure is wrapped in a heavy blanket and the face and hands cannot be seen. Only the pierced feet of Christ are visible, which Schmalz says gives the sculpture a sense of universality.
"This is a Christian message that has to be seen. People have to do that unfolding of the message that when they see a homeless person, they are really seeing Jesus Christ," said Schmalz.
He hopes that from a distance, passersby will think the sculpture is a real person and approach it.
Schmalz calls the sculpture a perpetual homily that represents one of the most powerful New Testament messages, from Matthew 25.31-46: "For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me."
"When you help one of the most marginalized people in the world, you are actually helping Jesus Christ," said Schmalz.
Schmalz, who lives in St. Jacobs, Ont., is disturbed to see so many people living on the street. So he spent a year on and off building the sculpture in a Beijing studio before shipping it to Toronto.
Regis has received the first Jesus the Homeless, with a second to be installed at King's College in London, Ont. Schmalz is delighted that his art will be displayed in both locations and available to young people. The Toronto sculpture is located at 100 Wellesley St.
"Christian sculpture . . . focuses on Christianity and celebrating the Catholic heritage. In a sense my mission is to put a face on Catholicism that is intriguing and powerful and that will bring more people to value this cultural force in our society today," he said.
He calls his Jesus the Homeless sculptures "bronze preachers." He wants them installed in as many locations as possible in Canada and globally.
"I've been doing Christian sculpture for more than 23 years and what I believe is that artwork is very, very powerful," said Schmalz. It has the power "to inspire, to help people meditate and also to raise up issues."
Schmalz is inspired by the pride of the Asian people towards their culture and by their willingness to express that pride by building 50-foot Buddhas all over China.
"I would like to bring that zest, . . . that enthusiasm over to us, (to) our religion. That's very exciting for me," he said.

Victoria and Oliver
Hensol Castle, Vale of Glamorgan.
This stunning all white wedding was set in the luxurious grounds of Hensol Castle, near Cardiff. Victoria our beautiful bride chose to carry a traditional cascading bouquet of roses, orchids, Lisianthus, Gyp and Peonies and the bridesmaids carrying matching posy bouquets. A large floral arch stood outside the entrance to the castle which lead the couples guests into the reception hall where tall vase arrangements took centre stage. Flowers adorned the mantle place, stairs and seating board plan to name but a few.

New Year's Eve is upon us! What are you doing? I am hanging out with sisters and brothers who are visiting from other cities, aunts, cousins and nieces. We are making a massive meal, drinking quality drinks, playing poker and games and toasting the new year. I am also taking a special sister, who is having a birthday tomorrow, to breakfast at Cafe Presse. Yummy for us :)
In Libraryland: I stopped in my branch today to pick up my holds. I got my official letter that states my transfer, and that is about all it said. Not even whether I was still a TSL (teen services librarian, for those of you out of the library lingo loop), but my manager assured me that I still am. I feel somewhat guilty that I am pretty much ok with my assignment. Many of my coworkers are getting moved to places that do not fit their lives well. Mine is a little further from home, definitely harder to get to traffic, bus and bike-wise, but also has some very good qualities–busy branch, lots of kids and teens, lots of reference. We still don't know where managers will land, so I don't know who mine will be and that could make or break the deal. There are several that I would love to have and several I would rather not and a whole slew in the middle that I don't really know from adam.
What am I reading? Still LeFreak–I am reading a bit slower than usual. Not that I want to set you up for lightning fast updates… but the holidays makes me spend my free time crocheting and baking, rather than reading. Back to the book. I still think this girl is crazy, but I can now see her as a real person and as one who is hiding from her past by being super busy, super popular and super geeky. She is on the internet, plugged into her iPod, getting and sending text messages 24/7. This girl needs a chill pill.
I am posting now, because I know the next couple of days are going to be busy, and I am just not sure I will have time to be on the internets. I hope everyone enjoys their NYE!

James Lighthill©Sir James Lighthill, mathematician and Provost of University College London, 1979-89, died while attempting to swim around Sark on July 17 aged 74. He was born on January 23, 1924.
Twenty-five years ago, James Lighthill became the first person to swim around the Channel Island of Sark, calling it "a most pleasant way to see the scenery". He subsequently repeated the feat five times, but on Friday, nine hours into another attempt and nearing the end of the nine-mile swim, he was found dead in the water. His passion for swimming may have brought him to wide public attention, but it is for his brilliant and wide-ranging contributions to applied mathematics over many years that Lighthill will be remembered.
Considered by his peers to be one of the great mathematicians of the century, perhaps even a genius, Lighthill was a pioneer in supersonic aeronautics, in oceanographic studies and astrophysics. He virtually created the field of biofluiddynamics, the study of how animals move through air or water, as well as the study of the fluid mechanics of the cardiovascular system. His ideas touched everything from earthquakes and the boundary currents in the Indian Ocean to the movement of road traffic. He held the senior mathematical chair at Cambridge, and became a leading adviser on government scientific policy.
Michael James Lighthill was something of a child prodigy. He won a scholarship from Winchester to Trinity College, Cambridge, when he was just 15, though he did not go up until two years later.
While at Cambridge he met Nancy Dumaresq, a mathematician at Newnham, and when she began to work at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, he tried for a job there himself.
The selection board, however, quickly realised that he had an ulterior as well as a dutiful motive, and sent him instead to the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. There his work on supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics flourished, as did the romance with his fiancee, whom he married in 1945.
One of his principal mathematical interests was the study of fluid dynamics, and he was said to have used this over the years as he planned his long distance swims around islands all over the world -- escapades about which he spoke with pride and enthusiasm.
As a prize fellow of Trinity after the war, he went to teach at Manchester University, first as a senior lecturer and then as a professor.
Already he was becoming well known for work in both pure and applied maths. He also did theoretical work on jet engines, and Lighthill's law states that the acoustic power radiated by a jet is proportional to the eighth power of the jet speed.
Neither his careful dynamic calculations nor the apparent connivance of the railway guard, however, excused the offence of jumping from a slowly moving train when he found that the Irish Mail did not stop at Crewe. He was fined Pounds 1.
In 1959 Lighthill moved to be Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough for five years, winning both the Gold Medal of the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society, of which he had been made a fellow at the early age of 29 and which he later served as vice president.
At Farnborough he promoted research into short-range air transport and also created a new space department. In 1962 he spoke optimistically about a manned craft taking off from Earth, being used an manoeuvred in space and then returning to Earth. He mentioned the possibility of a "dart-shaped" supersonic aircraft, and his work in wind-tunnels was to prove critical to the development of Concorde.
The following year, Lighthill challenged the Government to back research he had been engaged in with Post Office engineers and industrial scientists in the development of commercial television and communications satellites. Although Britain did not compete successfully in the space race, Lighthill was later the recipient, on his country's behalf, of two capsules of soil from the Moon, collected by unmanned Soviet spaceships.
In 1964 he became the Royal Society's resident professor at Imperial College, London, before returing to Trinity College, Cambridge, five years later as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a chair he held until 1979, when he was succeeded by Stephen Hawking. As well as continuing to publish on fluid dynamics -- particularly the theory of waves in ocean and atmosphere -- he worked on chaos theory and the unpredictability of large systems.
In 1979 Lighthill took on a more administrative role, as Provost of University College London, where his scientific interests were a considerable contrast to the literary and historical pursuits of his predecessor, Lord Annan. He found the college budget being squeezed but, despite some initial doubts about his suitability for the post, he was acknowledged to have maintained academic standards. He particularly supported work in the life sciences and in the new disciplines of biotechnology. He helped to win government backing for the establishment of a biotechnology company in collaboration with scientists from other institutions, specialising in the use of microbes in the synthesis of new products.
Lighthill was a member of numerous learned societies at home and abroad, and held 24 honorary doctorates. He served on several public bodies, including the Advisory Committee on Technology, the Natural Environment Research Council (1965-70), the board of the Post Office (1972-74) and a committee on natural disaster reduction. He was president of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from 1984 to 1988.
In 1975 he produced a report for the Science Research Council, adjudicating on whether Britain should devote considerable resources to the development of artificial intelligence.
He was discouraging about the prospects for intelligent robots, and had grave doubts about any hopes of bridging the gap between man and machine. The work that had been done up to that time, he wrote, "casts doubts upon whether the whole concept of artificial intelligence as an integrated field of research is a valid one".
A very stylish lecturer, Lighthill used to act out the complicated motions of swimming fish or flying birds. He was knighted in 1971 and made an honorary fellow of Trinity in 1986.
His Collected Scientific Papers were published in four volumes by Oxford University Press last year.
He is survived by his wife and by their son and four daughters.

From Sir Eric Ash, Treasurer of the Royal Society, and others
Sir, The attempt to portray the life and achievements of Sir James Lighthill within the constraints of This obituary (July 20) is clearly a daunting task. The few words devoted to his period as Provost of University College London failed to provide a picture which we, who were eyewitnesses, could recognise.
James Lighthill was indeed a brilliant scientist; but he was also a polymath, with knowledge, insight and enthusiasm for the arts and humanities. He would invariably take the chair at inaugural lectures and, in thanking the speaker, provide an erudite coda -- for any discipline -- be it Egyptology, literature (illuminated by his ability to read in most modern European languages), medicine, or our own field of engineering. He was able to inspire his colleagues over the whole range of academic disciplines.
Without the slightest doubt, during his watch, Lighthill succeeded in raising academic standards and in enhancing the international recognition accorded to University College.
Yours faithfully,
Treasurer, The Royal Society,
President, The Royal Academy of Engineering,
Vice-Provost, University College London,
The Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, SW1Y 5AG.

In a very recent post on their website Project Cars made the claim that they would have more tracks then any other recent driving game. That is a very high goal when you consider the competition.
So to accompany this statemnt by Project Cars they included a small list of some of the tracks that will be in the game. To see the original post CLICK HERE
Here is exactly what they had to say:
Project CARS has the largest roster of race locations of any recent racing game.
Over the next few months we'll be revealing these in turn so check back regularly to see which have been added! Here are the first few...

TP needs some updating. It is not very intuitive for new users. Instructions are hard to follow at times. Support response is in need of someone's dedication. Having individual paints is a real attraction within iRacing. This needs to be done better or replaced! Interesting that without member support there would be no answers or help. It's a shame, the program is so popular not to have good management.

I plan on taking this advice. Great page!

Gummiapan 3D Dies Assembled | By Suha
Mystery solved!! Were you wondering how the boxes look like when assembled? I couldn't imagine how they would turn out as the results were surprising. So let's go through them.
So you can see the four sides makes the house and covers on top. The circle is supposed to cut the entrance to the bird house, it fits well. It comes with opening and closing tab. You can add mini candies, or why not hide a lollipop inside. That would be fun. As for the size of it and how the dies look like you can see it here.
This one really surprised me! I thought it is a regular box like Magnolia's Pixi Box. But it is a tiny pizza box lol! I didn't figure out how to put it together until I remembered how the real pizza box is assembled. Funny, I thought I lost my brain for a moment with this die. If you wish to check out the sizes, click here. I have a project in mind for this box, so if you don't want to miss it remember to follow the blog by email.
They come in regular large size and teeny-tiny cute one. The large one looks beautiful in this Maja Design paper, I cut it at the down edge of it to make this pattern line up with the box edge. You can see the full measurements here. The die cuts one side, so you need to cut 2 pieces out with it. Whilst these dies are one way to do it and a quicker version of a template, here is Donna's tutorial for a hand-measured one
The tiny cute one is one die so you tape/paste it from one side only. Also you can find the full size here.
Ok, now this is something that is fingertip tiny and very cute. I think all tinies are cute things. At least I find them so. This is a mini version of the regular size of the gift box die. Do you remember Olga made us some beautiful work with it. Also here are the measurements and how the die itself looks like (you need to cut 2 pieces to form the box). It can be used for gifting a ring? or a piece of chocolate lol! make sure the recipient is not on a diet in this case!
Yes, small and cute! but you know it doesn't have a tab to open or close. I pasted the top together but maybe using magnetic sheet strips on each side will make it close. I think it can be useful for small chocolate bars or mini eggs for children. It is quick to assemble. You cut two pieces and paste them together. Make sure to score it beforehand to make it easier when bending the top of it. I messed up a bit, but who cares, you couldn't even tell ;). Of course here is the size and how the die looks like.
A diamond shape box with so many edges to paste on! I don't like pasting too much, I always love the easy origami style fit in things. However, the assembling process became more fun when I started to see the diamond shape itself. Wasn't expecting it to look so beautiful.
It is also useful and can be filled with whatever you like. As you can see it has an open/close tab on the top. I love how it turned out. Here are the measurements and die shape.
This was a challenging one for me. I don't even know if I it assembled correctly or not, sorry! It looks cool though. I cut two sides with it, you can see three sides in each die, since I didn't figure out how to assemble it I went with my guts and cut one side and assembled the two cut out pieces together. Well, if you have other results please show us :). Here is the die and the full size of it.
This is huge for a basket! you can have a large piece of cake or giant muffin in it. It is perfect for Easter baskets filled with paper shreds and a large Cadbury chocolate egg sits in it, or chicken with mini eggs. Endless possibilities with such a cute big basket. You need to cut two pieces of same die. Here is the size and shape of the die.
I had to change the name of it, as this is turned out for be a holder pocket and not a tag itself. You can still cut a tag out of it, but still have to be called pocket. It can be used in many projects, like Albums, cards with hidden tags, gift card holder pocket, as the size fits I think. Here is the measurement and die shape.
I can't wait to see what the design team have been planning and making with them. Subscribe to the blog and don't miss out.
Thank you for stopping by my post and I hope we can continue to inspire you as well as getting inspired of all your works, whether using Swedish House Crafts items or all the other wonderful brands in the world.

Had a chance to mellow out today. First things first, note to self: Read Lonely Planet FIRST and check map before finding destination. Yes folks, I took the long way getting somewhere today, and walked for about an hour to get to the Sky Garden Observation Tower, rather than take the shorter, underground pedestrian tunnel.
Oh, postcards are away. I sent all but one today, and I now have the final address (you won't know who you are, so don't worry), so it'll probably be about 10 days I think before they arrive. That of course is a complete guess based on postal mail I used to receive from someone in Germany about 15 years ago. Maybe it's a bit quicker now.
Anyway, once I got to the top of the Sky Garden Observation Deck thingy, it was pretty good. Today was really clear, except for the polution, as is to be expected. One of the information pamphlets put out by JNTO comments about how much of Osaka has been rebuilt recently. It neglected to say because it had been bombed flat by the Americans during WWII. Being that high, with a view over everything gives one the sensation of the imporantance of it all. A sort of spiritual connection between you and everything around you. A concept of being a hovering spirit over the land. With all the Temples and Shrines I've been visiting, a new perspective on things religious is starting to pop into my little head. Oddly enough.
Over here when you pay for something, they usually give you the change on a small plate, usually plastic. In the cafe in the Sky Garden Observation Deck (about 150M above splat level) the dish they had for returning the money was this odd metal one. Upon closer inspection it had the words "Give us this day our daily bread" with a bread motif in the middle.
Am about 1/2 way through Hi Fidelity. Except that it's in London, I think the movie version of this was pretty close to the original. I should of course put in some witty comments about the nature of the book and my own personal state in life, some deep reflection on how similar and different it is, and of course a complete breakdown TOP 5 list of my most painful breakups. But I won't. (Not that I couldn't think of 5 painful breakups, I'm sure I've had at least 5 relationships. Maybe. Definitely.) Maybe I'll do a TOP 5 list soon of something. Maybe. Definitely.
But I did go into a disgustingly huge bookshop today called Kinokuniya. So big that the English book section was more than a paltry few shelves of books but complete sections. They even had other non-Japanese books as well. Harry Potter in German anyone? Anyway, I bought "The Prodestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism." Now you may ask yourself (not to quote an old Talking Heads song, but I am reading Hi Fidelity,) why they hell would I buy a book like that, when I hate working so much. That's a very good question. Because I've been looking at the Japanese structure of work, that nature of why people work in relation to the needs and demands placed on them and I have no idea why we or they do it. Yes, we need money to pay the bills and have all the nice things that we really, really (don't) need. But the Japanese don't have a Proddy bone in them, they're all Shinto or Buddhist, or nothing really. But they have this approach to work, which I think is exemplified by the security guards who stand outside parking lots, with a red lightsaber type of torch (they are actually, really cool looking, the torch that is,) and direct cars coming in, direct them going out and do it with a level of professionalism, including a formal bow on the way out that makes Australians look like a complete set of slobs. I've seen it with teams of people who put petrol in cars. One person to direct the car into the filling area. One to put the pertrol in, and another to guide it out, and let the car know when it's safe to enter the traffic flow. Now the guy who put the petrol in, is giving a formal bow to the car as it leaves. This is really, really … well really something. When the younger generation of Japanese grow up, with the infusion of American values and ideas, this society is going to crumble because these ideals and values may seem to become outdated. The entire Japanese formality system will crumble.
Anyway, will be visiting Kyoto and Nara again next week to see the things I missed. And also the Osama Tezuka Manga museum is very, very high on my agenda. I'm sure after that, you'll hear about it, constantly.
Must eat.

I'm really sad these days. I have always been a person to believe that honesty is the best way of operating. You try to lie and then get caught in a web of lies and then no one trusts anything you say anymore. I'm sure people are rationalizing that since everyone is doing it right now, I might as well make up stories that help my cause, because the "other side" is lying as well. Well now we have absolutely no idea what is true. I don't trust anyone in the media, especially those who are arguing the most vociferously.
I started out loving Bernie Sanders because he was consistent and straightforward, but as time has gone on, I'm questioning him as well. I still want to believe he is the most honest politician of all time, if such a thing can exist. But I am starting to wonder if maybe he has been fed misinformation by the media and the people surrounding him as well. No one is immune. Absolutely no one.
I am writing this and realizing that a blog, about my own feelings and thoughts, may or may not be based on reality. I read others' blogs and opinion pieces and think certain points of view are valid because it fits my preconceived notions. When I read another opinion piece that disagrees with my own world view, I think they are wrong. How is one to discern the truth?
First of all, one must be cognizant that we each do have biases. And while I want to be true to myself, is it possible that my idea of the truth is based on my own particular experiences and influences and indoctrination, is it possible that I would think quite differently if I was raised and surrounded by a completely different cultural, political, and ideological environment? Would I still think these thoughts, can I claim that I am thinking for myself?
Another issue with thinking we are right and others are wrong is that our opinions and beliefs only seem to bounce around in an echo chamber of like-minded individuals, and if it does get out of the room, it is likely ignored and pushed away by those with differing beliefs. Perhaps it is the tone of our writing, no one is humble, everyone is accusing, but opposing factions are deaf to each other.
I am thinking about humility. I may be right to strive for justice and kindness, but am I better than anyone else? I want to believe that all human beings would do the right thing given the right understanding. But I know there are a lot of grey areas. There are people suffering in hidden ways, we cannot know their personal experience without actually living in their shoes. We can assume they are villains, lying about their grievances. Or perhaps we can be humble, and listen for a bit, have an open-minded discussion.
Yesterday, I discussed lessons I planned to teach about the role of propaganda in the Holocaust. I forgot something important. You know, the popular Diary of Anne Frank? I have also read her Tales from the Secret Annex, where she imagined what it was like for the people living a normal life on the outside, while all the terrible things were happening around them. I was struck by a recurring theme in her work: Anne's belief in the innate goodness of human beings.
Friends and neighbors, if someone who actually witnessed the rise of Nazism and herself suffered from persecution could still believe in people, I think it behooves all of us to take a look at each other as openly and hopefully as possible.

- The media manufactures consent.
- Trump is pumped into everyone's home.
- Trump got 23 times the coverage of Bernie Sanders (example: 81 min. on Trump, 20 sec. on Sanders).
- Sanders is breaking every record, he is shaming the media. You break every record and there is a blip in the corporate media radar screen.
"According to one tally of nightly broadcast network news during the 2015 primary season, Sanders received a total of 20 minutes of coverage, compared to Clinton's 121 minutes and Trump's 327." (NY Times)
"Another study that focused solely on network coverage showed Sanders receiving 6 percent of the coverage Trump did on network news in 2015, and 16.5 percent that of Clinton." (Alternet)
The most impressive here is not that Sanders has so little time coverage compared to the other two. This was something, more or less, expected. The most impressive, is that Donald Trump, who is promoted as "anti-establishment", takes more time coverage in the media, even compared to the definitely-pro-establishment Hillary Clinton!

Former schoolteacher Felix Francis has taken over the "Dick Francis" franchise following his father's death two years ago and released his first book in the series last year. I'm thinking that now perhaps it's best to let Dick go and simply let Felix write as Felix. The words "A DICK FRANCIS NOVEL" adorn the cover of this year's release, Bloodline, but the only thing that ties this novel to the dozens of Dick Francis novels in the past is that it's a crime set in the world of horse racing.
Yes, we do learn about the world of broadcasting and race calling, and it's well-done, too, a natural part of the tale rather than a lecture as is usual with Dick Francis novels. Full points to Felix for that.
But something is missing. I think it's the writing style. Anyone can set a murder mystery in the world of racing – John Francome is an example – but if you're hoping to appease Dick Francis fans, you need to truly ape the Francis style. People 'sketch a goodbye' in the world of Dick Francis; there are key phrases such as that which crop up in book after book, like old friends. Sentences, particularly in the action-packed bits, are short. Felix's style is quite different to his parents' and those old friends are nowhere to be seen.
Racecaller Mark Shillingford's sister Clare apparently commits suicide, but Mark believes there is more to her death and that she was pushed. In investigating her death he enters into a world of blackmail and race fixing.
Mark appears to have relationships with women without knowing much about what they do outside the confines of the bedroom. After five years he is surprised to discover his ex-lover Sarah has a sister. And while his new lover knows what he does for a living – he's a broadcaster and race caller – he's in the sack with her twice before he asks her about her own career.
I found Mark as a hero rather one-dimensional and unimpressive. Yes, he grieves for his dead twin sister and for someone else who dies during the course of the action (no spoilers). But by the end of the book I hadn't warmed to him in a way I'd warmed to some of the Francis heroes of the past.
Like all Francis heroes Mark has a lousy relationship with his father, which is consistent. Any dedicated Francis fan would expect it. So that at least is true to form.
I didn't guess the murderer – in fact until three quarters of the way through the book I had suspected somebody else, so that at least was satisfying. But oh boy, did I get sick of the phrase 'zombie eyes' in the last couple of chapters.
In the Francis field of thrillers, this one is an 'also ran' to use a racing term. I'm not surprised it was only released as a trade paperback here in Australia and not a hardback; I suspect sales of Felix Francis books will not be in the same league as Dick Francis books unless Felix is marketed as himself rather than as part of the DF package. Taken on face value this book is a good enough mystery, but it doesn't have the classic hallmarks of a Dick Francis novel from the DF heydays of the 60s and 70s. Available now, should you wish to draw your own conclusions, in all bookshops or online.

Best upcoming tablets in 2011
The best tablets still to come in 2011, from the Sony Tablet S to the Huawei MediaPad
2011 has been a massive year for tablets, helped along by the debut of Apple's iPad 2. However despite the year fast approaching its end, there is still plenty of tablets to come in 2011: the most anticipated are Sony's late-arriving Tablet S and Tablet P duo, and Samsung's eagerly awaited Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.7.
6 / 12
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G is Australia's first 4G tablet, offering impressive data speeds and a size and weight that we think is near perfect. However, Telstra's currently limited 4G coverage, a high price tag and some niggling software issues mean you should probably give the Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G a miss, at least for now.

A quick and easy crunchy Asian salad made with cabbage, carrots, wonton strips, and a creamy Asian themed dressing. Serve as a side or an entree!
Last Wednesday, we shared an Asian inspired salad dressing. For today, we're going to share a salad mix that works perfectly with our vinaigrette. Crispy carrots and wonton strips give this dish a satisfying crunch.
Combine that with almonds, cabbage, and green onions and you have yourself a pretty darn tasty Asian salad. Oh, just to be clear, we make no claims on authenticity. Meaning, the recipe is inspired by Asian flavors, not that it's an authentic Asian dish.
It's kinda like our Egg Roll Bowl recipe. That one is super tasty and Asian inspired, but we don't claim that one to be authentic or traditional either. Just an easy, one-dish, dinner option!
Just wanted to get that out of the way before we start cooking. Speaking of which, it's a cold recipe, so there's cooking involved. That means, you don't have to preheat your oven and heat up your kitchen for this one. Now, how about we get to work and start making something delicious?
Asian Salad Recipe Instructions:
So, as I stated above, we've already published the Asian dressing recipe. Keeping that in mind, I'm not going to type out those instructions here. You can either click the link or the Jump to Recipe button (above) to find the dressing directions.
In regards to the salad mix, hopefully, you were able to get most of the vegetables pre-packaged. However, if that wasn't possible, then you have a lot of chopping, dicing, and shredding to complete.
With that being said, if you have a food processor, then most of that can be done with the slicing and shredding attachments. Don't be afraid to shred the carrots and slice the cabbage or celery using the processor.
Additionally, don't let time consuming kitchen duties get in the way of enjoying healthy, delicious veggies. Use what's available.
Once all of the prep work is out of the way, including slicing the green onions. Place everything into a large mixing bowl and toss the ingredients with the salad dressing.
That's it, you're Asian salad is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the recipe and wish you all the best 🙂
Crunchy Asian Salad Recipe Tips:
If are making this salad in advance (for work or social event), then do not add the dressing until you're ready to serve it. Otherwise, the vegetables will get soggy over time. Cabbage doesn't usually wilt as fast as lettuce, but eventually, it will degrade.
On the chance you want to add some other ingredients, just to liven things up a bit, then might I suggest: edamame, soy beans, crunchy chow mien noodles, cilantro, or even a drizzle of teriyaki glaze over the top of the dish (for color and sweetness).
Also, it should be noted, if you leave out the almonds and wonton strips, then this recipe can be used as a tasty egg or spring roll filling.

Massimo: [[ As an aside, note the related counter-can-of-worms: leaving this unspecified, there is the potential risk that there is no minimal official "conformance level" an OWL reasoner could rely on as far as imports are concerned. Which leaves the way open to abuses (suppose you put some info, and then you import your license statements in another file... some apps could consider them, some other ignore them). ]] I note that the only relevant OWL processors that we have defined are OWL Syntax Checkers and OWL Consisteny Checkers. The former MUST process the imports closure, unambiguously. The latter SHOULD process the imports closure (unless an inconsistency is detected), since an OWL Consistency Checker SHOULD NOT return Unknown. Complete consistency checkers MUST process the imports closure. Personally I feel confortable with this level of normativity for imports (SHOULD rather than MUST) JeremyReceived on Monday, 26 May 2003 10:28:21 UTC

This page describes an "eight-year scientific research project", the results of which were presented at a community church in 1997. Let's look at one of their findings:
Dr. Andrew Snelling, an Australian geologist on the team, performed a detailed study of radiohalos (microscopic circular marks left on mica crystals from radioactive decay). He studied over 3,485 slides made from seventy rock samples from Australia, England, Norway, and the United States. The radiohalos caused by the decay of uranium and polonium strongly suggests rapid decay, not a gradual decay process over billions of years. This evidence of rapid nuclear decay, creation scientists believe, is due to catastrophic conditions produced by a worldwide flood.
A flood affecting the rate of nuclear decay? FAIL.

|Regular Chiropractic Care and Personal Fitness
|Getting regular exercise is not a cure-all. Although it's very difficult to maintain good health if you're not exercising consistently, exercise in itself is not enough. Additional components of a healthy lifestyle include good nutrition, sufficient rest, intangibles such as a positive outlook on life, and regular chiropractic care.
Regular chiropractic care ties together all the other things you're doing to achieve high levels of personal health and wellness. By identifying, analyzing, and correcting spinal misalignments, your chiropractor is helping to reduce nerve interference and helping to facilitate optimal functioning of all your body's physiological systems. As a result, you're able to make maximum use of the good foods you're eating and get the most out of your exercise time. By making these healthy lifestyle choices, including regular chiropractic care, you're choosing to enhance your personal health and well-being.
Back in the day, there were no personal trainers. If you needed to learn how to exercise, you got a subscription to one of a few well-known "muscle magazines" and read several issues from cover to cover. Then you joined a "Y" and began to discreetly observe what was going in the weight room, trying to match up what you had read in the magazine with what you were seeing in the gym. Eventually, you put together a series of exercises, sets, and reps that worked for you. Back then, any strength training program you developed would be strictly based on a seat-of-the-pants approach. You learned by trial and error.
Today there is a vast body of scientific literature focused on the various benefits of numerous forms and types of exercise.1 However, scientific studies are not good at evaluating the how-to's of getting fit. Fortunately many informal resources are available, all intended to point you in the right direction. But not all of these resources are accurate or trustworthy, and the challenge is to identify a set of basic principles that will be applicable to your specific situation.
Firstly, before getting started you need to make sure that it's OK to actually get started. Let your doctor (your family chiropractor, family physician, or internist) know what you're planning to do and have her tell you what you need to watch out for, if anything. Next, you need to make a commitment. Consistency is the key to deriving lasting value from exercise. Additionally, irregular exercise sessions will often lead to injury. If you're serious about getting fit, then make a commitment to yourself to participate in a 12-week program. At the end of 12 weeks, you'll evaluate how you feel, what you've accomplished, and whether you want to keep going.
In terms of strength training (that is, weight lifting), three sessions per week is ideal. By doing "split routines" you can exercise all the major muscle groups each week. On one day you'll do exercises for the chest and back. Another day you'll do exercises for the legs. On the third day you'll focus on the shoulders, biceps, and triceps. This set of split routines will produce optimal results for many people.
Importantly, you'll be doing chest and triceps (and back and biceps) on different days, thus avoiding the potential for overwork and injury. But you may find that an alternate set of split routines works best for you. The key is to start slowly and build up strength gradually. Once you have some experience and an improved level of fitness, you may branch out and vary your basic routine, experimenting and seeing what works best for you. In terms of sets and repetitions (reps), three sets per exercise and eight to 12 repetitions per set represent the classical, tried and true method of getting fit and making gradual strength gains over time. For any strength training exercise, start with a weight at which you can do eight repetitions comfortably. This should be neither too easy, nor too difficult. Of course, it's far better to err on the side of caution. You never want to do too much too soon.
As you go along in your fitness program, you'll add core exercise routines2 and aerobics exercise such as walking, swimming, biking, and running. If you work out slowly and gradually and maintain consistency, you'll have a great deal of fun and gain substantially improved levels of health and well-being.3

I started seeing Dr. Ang when she was associated with the Wellness Connection in Shawnee Mission, Ks. I had a couple of unpleasant experiences with other chiropractors, but a coworker gave Dr. Ang a glowing review so I decided to give her a try. I have been seeing her for about six years and she has helped me through many health related problems. She has helped me to understand so many things about how the body works and heals itself and how we can actually spare ourselves from many health problems. How refreshing--a doctor who keeps you from being sick! I truly believe my good health is a result of listening to her advice (though it may take awhile to get it through my head) and regular chiropractic visits. She is a very caring and concerned individual, not only with physical care, but also her patients emotional and mental well being. I now have my entire family receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Ang. We couldn't get along without her!

text: Skype - owned by software giant Microsoft - recently released a transparency report [Hashem Said/Al Jazeera]Back in December, a young Lebanese activist and developer named Nadim Kobeissi sent an email around several lists. The gist: "Isn't it time for an open letter regarding Skype?" Kobeissi was referring to an issue that's been raised by numerous technologists and activists over the years: Whether or not Skype's architecture allows for the company (and its parent company, Microsoft) to hand over call data to governments. The letter was drafted quickly by a motley crew of interested parties and posted online, and Kobeissi began calling for signatories in mid-January. An excerpt letter - available in its entirety here - reads: It is unfortunate that these users, and those who advise them on best security practices, work in the face of persistently unclear and confusing statements about the confidentiality of Skype conversations, and in particular the access that governments and other third parties have to Skype user data and communications. Within days, a diverse and prestigious list of organisations and individuals - including Reporters Without Borders, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, and my own organisation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) - had signed the letter, which was immediately picked up by mainstream media, making waves throughout the vast global digital rights community. But then... radio silence. For nearly three months, the organisers waited, debating whether or not Microsoft would respond to their demands. On March 21, they finally got their response: Microsoft, like Google and Twitter before it, announced the release of a transparency report, showing the law enforcement requests received by the company. The report was well-received by some digital rights groups: Access tweeted "Transparency report from @Microsoft comes after January open letter from activists and digital rights organisations", while the EFF stated in a blog post that they were "pleased to see that Microsoft has not only answered that letter on behalf of Skype, it has answered on behalf of the entire company". Transparency is key Though Microsoft's move was welcomed, the number of law enforcement requests should not be. In 2012, Microsoft and Skype received a total of 75,378 law enforcement requests, affecting as many as 137,424 accounts. By comparison, Google received only 42,327 requests during the same period, surprising given the number of social products offered by the company. Twitter received only 1,848. Inside Story AmericasPolicing the freedom of the internet The three companies are a minority when it comes to transparency. As EFF's "Who Has Your Back?" campaign (updated yearly) shows, most companies fail to tell users about demands for their data, while only a handful of companies are publicly transparent about such requests. Notably, Microsoft's report - like Google's before it - discloses some details about the secret National Security Letters (NSLs) it has received from the United States government: such data requests were made for between 11,000 and 14,996 of the company's users in the period from 2009 to 2012. Just last week, a federal district court judge in San Francisco ruled that NSLs violate the US constitution. Most law enforcement requests aren't so secretive. But without more companies like Microsoft and Google releasing detailed information on them publicly, users will remain in the dark. Facebook, Yahoo, and numerous other companies have yet to release data on the law enforcement requests they receive. Lessons learned In the aftermath of the campaign, Kobeissi is positive, reflecting on the lessons of the campaign that he led. "I think it was effective," he says, "because we managed to get together a very well-written letter with realistic, well-defined demands from Microsoft and Skype." Indeed, few such campaigns - that is, those targeting Silicon Valley corporations - have that effect. Last year, a coalition of groups successfully got PayPal to back down on its denial of service to bookstores selling certain types of erotic literature. More recently, a campaign led by EFF and the ACLU of Northern California stopped Facebook from censoring certain political ads. Over the years, activists have made significant gains in getting companies to come forward on their privacy practices, but some say that there's still a long road ahead. The Digital Due Process Coalition, which includes advocacy groups, corporations, and other stakeholders, aims to reform the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), a 1986 statute that hasn't been updated since its creation and which critics say sets inconsistent rules for governmental access to email and stored documents. With so much of our digital communications taking place on the "cloud", legal reform is necessary to ensure privacy for all. Kobeissi also believes that the accessibility of the campaign played a role in its success. "The website was made to be accessible and shareable... the letter was well-presented, well-referenced and you could learn more about each of the signatories. You could also share the letter easily on Facebook and Twitter," he adds. The campaign could serve as a strong model for future efforts. Unlike popular petition platforms like Change.org and AVAAZ, the letter to Skype used a dedicated website and opened signatures up to both individuals and organisation, adding clout. This helps, as Microsoft is unlikely to be affected by the complaints of individual users. Furthermore, the letter brought disparate groups together. Organised over-popular mailing lists such as one run by Stanford University, the letter was coordinated in such a way to allow for open debate, the mark of a solid advocacy strategy. In the end, Microsoft's efforts to be transparent are only part of the solution to a growing problem. But the tech giant's step in the right direction should nevertheless serve as a model for tech companies committed to respecting human rights.

Hello! 😀
I haven't done a "Vlog Vandredi" in a while, and since I have accumulated quite a large iPhone library full of clips of our Sonny in action, I thought I'd share a video of some of my favorites here today. Click the play button below if you'd like to watch…
He's such a curious and vibrant little boy! Last week he was all about Bob the Builder and tractors, but this week he is absolutely hooked on helicopters and riding bike. Today, he saw a teeny tiny astronaut sticker which triggered a new fascination- space shuttles! He like to watch videos of them taking off and asks repeatedly if they can go under water too. 🙂 He also listened/danced to Tenth Avenue North's "What You Want" ten times in a row this afternoon (he would've kept going if we hadn't persuaded him to switch activities!) and he thanked God for Kit-Cat in his prayer before lunch. He is not a fan of Kit-Cat (and hasn't met Max), so I'm hoping that prayer means he's open to eventually being friends. 🙂
Another thing that cracks me up is when he talks about something that tastes good. Instead of saying it's "yummy", he says it's "pa yucky", which means it's "not yucky". So things are either "yucky" or "pa yucky"- ha! 😀
Alright. It's almost midnight and this mama is pooped!
I should quickly mention though, that if you ordered one of our Pike Road Southern t-shirts in August, Kevin has all but 12 of them shipped out as of yesterday. It took a little longer to fold, package, and label them this time because of our trip to Haiti, and because, well, everything just seems to take us a little bit longer with our precious babe here now! 😀
And speaking of our tees, PikeRoadSouthern.com is up and running for another quick 4-day pre-order sale if you're interested in swinging by for a look-see. Here are some of the designs we're offering this month:
Also, the winner of our August t-shirt giveaway is stephaniej_3. (Stephanie, if you're reading- I'll be in touch via email tomorrow!) If you'd like to enter to win a t-shirt in September, you can click through to PikeRoadSouthern.com and sign up for a chance to win. Happy weekend, y'all!

Unusual & Unique Golf Courses
Most players who are really into their golf will probably have some ideas already of the places they'd like to visit as a destination golf trip. Some courses across the world have reputations for being the best and most golfers would love to try them out, but here are a few lesser known examples that you might want to consider visiting purely for their quirky and unusual designs and locations.
Shadow Creek Golf Course – Nevada, USA
This course is an incredible feat in itself, and originally it was the most expensive ever constructed. This is due to its placement in the middle of the desert, with no natural trees or water for miles around. Its greenery all had to be imported, including over 20,000 fully grown trees.
El Camaleón at the Fairmont Mayakoba – Quintna Roo, Mexico
Taking its name from the chameleon due to its regular updates and changes, El Camaleón is full of obstacles and challenges to make a game of golf more exciting, including deep caves, sand dunes and vast lagoons. This course is ideal for anyone looking for a new and exciting challenge.
Coeur D'Alene Golf Resort – Idaho, USA
Although this course looks amazing, it is fairly conventional, save for the 14th hole of its par-3 course, which is on its own man-made island. Golfers have to take a boat to get to it, and not only that, it actually moves around in the water thanks to a complicated mechanical system.…

Damn wigs can be expensive!
Go for a high end virgin human hair wig and you could end up paying $1000s.
Umm, hello?! Not everyone has that kind of coinage to drop on a wig.
But for those of us who can't drop a ton of money to improve our hair situation, chin up! There's plenty of reason for hope.
Especially these days.
5 – 10 years ago wearing a wig was about as popular a thing as having a MySpace account is today. But thanks to a bunch of celebrities like Beyonce, Katy Perry and Zendaya treating wigs and hair extensions like fashion accessories… and others sharing their wig wearing ways on social media sites… wigs have gone mainstream.
And as wigs have hit the mainstream, the number of wig options have increased dramatically. Which is why there is so much hope for those of us who don't have $1000s to drop on a wig. Because now there are a bunch of high quality, cheap wigs available that look so real, they'll even fool your hair stylist!
In this article, we look at some awesome wig options for under $75. Not only are they cheap, but most of the ladies who wear them absolutely love them!
So, if you're looking for a new look for rock bottom pricing, here's the place to start your search…
OneDor Wavy, Black w/ Auburn Highlights Synthetic Wig
- Material: 100% Japanese Kanekalon Premium Quality Synthetic Hair with Heat-Resisting up to 377˚F
- Premium Quality Synthetic Hair Makes The Hair Feels Silky and Smooth like Real Human Hair
- The size is adjustable and no pins or tape should be required. It should be fit on most people.
- Length: 19 Inches; Weight: about 7.3 Oz; Color: As Shown in Picture (May Vary by Monitor)
- Instantly enhance your hair beauty; suitable wearing for prom, wedding, or evening out
A stylist's daughter bought this wig and mom was super impressed. Especially since she custom cut and blended it for her daughter. And even though it is a synthetic wig, people can't get over how realistic it looks. A lot of people get comments from others who think it's a human hair wig. For a cheap wig, it's hard to beat this one's looks at such a low price.
K'ryssma Natural Black Long, Natural, Wavy Synthetic Wig
- Half Hand Tied Black Lace Front Wig with Lace 2.5 Inches Parting Space in Front
- Black Synthetic Wig Heat Resistant up to 160 Degrees Centigrade (320 Degrees Fahrenheit)

- Circumference 22.5 Inches Stretched Medium Cap (Average Cap Size) with 2 Adjustable Straps and 3 Combs
- The K'ryssma Natural Black Synthetic Lace Front Wig Come With Free Wig Caps (2 pcs)
This is a popular lace font wig (not a full lace wig) so, keep in mind, you can't part it anywhere you desire. Still, for the price, it's a thick, curly, beautiful wig that's layered to give it some extra flair. Some people report it sheds a bit but not too bad. Also, the lace front is tanned a bit which is great for tanned or medium/dark skin tones. Some with darker skin use a little concealer or makeup to blend it in a bit to better match their skin tone.

A reviewer gushes about how this wig would easily cost $200 or more in a wig store. It is synthetic but it's soft like real hair and the color is amazing… dark roots that naturally transition to champagne blonde. And while the wig is thick, it's not heavy and is pretty comfortable to wear. Because it is thick, some women love that they can do some thinning/styling to give them the exact look they're after.

Oh, and they also love getting complimented every day on how great they look wearing these extensions!

Pearl Fryar Portrait
Commission Tower Hill Botanic Garden, Massachusetts
36 by 28 Inches
I was thrilled to receive the opportunity and commission to create a portrait of Pearl Fryar topiary master. I decided to approach my first oil portrait having cast glass as Pearl would, –with enthusiasm, and determination as Pearl say's to "write my own book". " I created Pearl's portrait in the manner of a poster on wood board, having oil paint and cast glass. I incorporated the words "Peace Love and Acceptance" in oil as it is what visitors to Pearls' garden see first. What Pearl says really matters, he is wise, and I added his sayings in cast glass topiary shapes. "I cut up Bushes" and " Everyone has a Talent" shows pearl's own humility and appreciation for others. Extensions of Pearls strong arms, I included broken cast glass chain saw blades. Pearl must have gone through many. I decided to cut up pearls portrait like topiary to show how he and his life's work are one. A vine unites the design tying it together, leading you through his life and garden.


text: The gleaming polish of the precious resin in a warm terracotta tone, catches the eye immediately. The intense color is accentuated in a most effective way by the platinum-plated ring at the end of the cap or front piece, discreetly engraved with the words "handmade in Germany". The barrel is elegantly shaped in a single piece: no screw thread interrupts its pure form that ensures, in a masterly way, the highest degree of functionalism.Item #133637

Beer - it's a kiwi favourate - but according to NIWA global warming might just be about to taint your pint.
Another beer related item. DB has managed to gain ownership of the trademark 'Radler' . Imagine if Ford were the only people allowed to call there cars "CARS". The rest of would be driving "Motorised buggies".
I like the suggestion of Radler brewers putting an '@' in the name to give the finger to DB.

It is still too cold for springtime skirts, but definitely warm enough to put away the long underwear and Ugg boots. Cropped pants make a great compromise until spring officially sets in.
Lucky for us, there are so many fun options out there from stores like Forever 21, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters.
Would you wear this trend?

Evaluation of the EU legislation on organic farming
Full project title:Evaluation of the EU legislation on organic farming
Acronym:EU Reg Eval
Project code:Nr. AGRI-2012-EVAL-02
Contract period:3 September 2012 to 30 June 2013
Main funder:EU Commission, DG Agriculture
Contact staff at ORC:Susanne Padel
Other staff involved:Anja Vieweger
Project aims
The evaluation will be carried out by gathering and analysing a range of different data and information including relevant legislation, production standards and literature as well as statistical and administrative data hold by the Commission and in Member States. Besides the EU legislation on organic farming several other regulations and factors influencing the organic sector will be taken into consideration such as: i) general food law and legislation on official food and feed controls, ii) EU support provided under the CAP Pillar 1 and 2, iii) European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming, iv) national and regional action plans for organic farming, v) other national or regional organic support measures not (co-)financed by the CAP, vi) promotion and information campaigns for organic farming as well as vii) relevant aspects of the EU sustainable product policy.
Beyond gathering and analysing data, the evaluation will clearly provide founded judgements based on analysis and put forward reasoned conclusions and recommendations how the legislative framework of organic production in the EU could be improved with respect to achieving its objectives.
The evaluation will cover all 27 EU Member States. In order to examine in detail the different aspects of implementation of measures laid down by the legislation, it is further proposed to undertake 13 national case studies (see Section 1.6).
The reference period of the evaluation will be January 2009 (entry into force of Council Regulation 834/2007) to June 2012. However, the period since 2000 will also be taken into consideration to cover the situation governed by the previous legislation on organic farming.
ORC's role
ORC leads on three Evaluation questions related to the scope, production rules and simplification as well as developing an effect model of the Regulation. ORC will also carry out data collection in the UK and will contribute to the overall reporting of the project to the EU Commission.
