This page outlines some of the key risks involved when you invest in shares ("Equity Investment") or bonds issued by companies ("Bond Investment") on https://smartlands.io, https://rise.smartlands.io, https://platform.smartlands.io, https://wallet.smartlands.io, https://tokensale.smartlands.io (together and individually the "Website"). Please read this summary carefully, so that you understand the key risks involved. Equity Investments take the form of investments in unlisted shares in a private limited company and Bond Investments involve investing in debt securities issued by unlisted companies and both of these investment types carry risks. In particular, you may not receive your anticipated returns and your capital may be at risk.
The Equity Investments and Bond Investments (together, the "Investments") are generally illiquid. This means that once you have committed your money by purchasing shares as part of an Equity Investment or by investing money in relation to a Bond Investment, it may be difficult to exit your Investment and get your money back.
Each Investment will have a different target exit date. This date will be a target, meaning that the actual date on which any returns or capital are repaid to you may change. We have the discretion to change the target exit date and may do so in a number of circumstances.
You may be able to sell your Investment to a willing buyer. However, you should note that you might only be able to sell your Investment at a discount. This means that you may not get back the amount you paid for the Investment. You may not even be able to sell your Investment at all due to a lack of a willing buyer.
If you are unable to sell your Investment to a willing buyer, you will need to wait until the relevant underlying project is complete and the property is sold. The sale of the underlying property could take a significant amount of time. Therefore, any Investment you make on the Website should therefore only be viewed as a long-term investment.
By making an Equity Investment you will be subscribing for B shares in the relevant company, which do not have any voting rights attached to them. As a result, you will not be able to vote in any decisions relating to the completion of a project or the sale of the property or any other decisions relating to the relevant company holding the property.
By making a Bond Investment you will be investing in a debt security issued by a company which will be documented and a repayment date will be set. However you will not have the right to take steps to recover the amount you invest or any other amount due to you. This will be done on your behalf by a security trustee. Similarly, you will not have any say in how the company in which you invest uses the money you invest or how and when it repays you, which will be documented in the debt agreements. If the company you have invested in by way of debt has taken out other debt then such other debt may rank in priority to yours, meaning that you may not be paid back first, or at all, if the company faces financial difficulty.
The Investments you make on the Website will not provide you with regular returns. Due to the way that the investment opportunities are structured, you will only see a return on your Equity Investment, if there are any returns achieved, once the relevant project has been completed and the property has been sold. In the case of Bond Investments any target return amounts and dates will be shown to you in the relevant documents before you invest. Depending on the exact terms of the Bond Investment you enter into you may not receive returns until the relevant project has been completed. The returns actually paid to you in relation to a Bond Investment will depend on the ability of the company in relation to which you have made a Bond Investment being able to repay.
Eventual returns will only be paid to you once all applicable fees and taxes have been paid. If you need your investments to provide you with regular returns, for example by way of monthly dividends, investing on the Website will not be suitable for you. If the relevant company faces financial difficulty then this will impact on the likelihood you will receive any returns on your Investment, or the amount back which you have invested in the Investment.
The property market is cyclical and values may go up or down depending on a range of issues including political, economic and social issues. Historic performance of the property market or a particular property is not a reliable guide to future performance. A future downturn in the real estate market could severely adversely affect the value of any investment you make on the Website.
A fall in property values in the UK may cause a property funded by a company which you invest in to be sold at a lower price than expected, or may even mean a property is sold for a lower price than it was initially purchased for, or than the cost to build or refurbish it. This would negatively impact on your Investment and may lead to any returns you eventually receive being lower than expected, or it may mean that there are no returns at all. Please note that you will never be asked to pay more than the amount you first invest on the Website and therefore your losses will always be capped at the amount you invested.
A fall in property values in the UK may also mean that the company determines that once the relevant project has been completed, the underlying property be held for longer than the anticipated investment term until a higher sale price can be achieved.
The returns you receive from your Investment can go up or down and are ultimately not guaranteed. Depending on the final cost of construction and the value at which the property is sold, you may not receive any equity returns (in the case of Equity Investments), or you may receive a return that is less than expected and you may lose your capital in the case of any Investment.
By making any investment on the Website you are making a long term investment and you will lack control over the day-to-day decisions made by Smartlands Platform Ltd ("Smartlands Platform") or any third party involved in the relevant property company and you will also not have any control over the timing of your exit (unless you are able to sell your Investment to another investor, which is covered in Illiquidity above).
Smartlands Platform and its affiliates do not provide any advice or recommendations in relation to any Investment or any other investment opportunity which may be available on the Website. If you have any doubt over the risks of such Investments or you otherwise require financial advice, you should seek advice or recommendations that are personal to your circumstances from a suitably qualified financial adviser.
Investments on the Website are only available to investors categorised as Restricted, Self-Certified Sophisticated or High Net Worth Investors according to the definitions used by the Financial Conduct Authority. In order to comply with the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority, we need to assess you before you may view investment details on the Website. An assessment of whether you fall within one of these categories will be carried out when you sign up to the Website.
Any Investment made on the Website should only be made as part of a diversified portfolio that includes a mix of liquid and illiquid assets. Investing small amounts in multiple investments will help you spread your risk. The majority of your investments should consist of liquid asset classes, so that you can access your capital more easily.
In certain circumstances, the property which is the underlying asset of your Investment may need to be sold. Examples of these circumstances include where the property suffers extensive damage or bank funding is withdrawn. In such circumstances you will be given notice of this sale. Depending on market conditions and any prospective buyer's circumstances, you may receive back substantially less than you invested or no return of your capital at all. If the relevant company is subject to an unforeseen liability that may mean that money which was previously intended to fund the project will be unavailable. Taxable income may also crystallise sooner than expected.
You should be wary of any tax risks that might apply to you as a result of any investment made on the Website. Whether and how any relevant tax laws or liability apply to you is a matter for your personal analysis and you are strongly advised to consult with appropriately qualified tax professionals regarding your individual tax position, which depends on your personal circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
Any investments which you make on the Website are not currently covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Funds which you deposit on the Website which have not yet been invested may be covered by the FSCS. Additionally, FSCS can pay compensation if Smartlands Platform or any third party bank or investment firm cannot meet an obligation owed to an 'Eligible Claimant'. The current compensation limit is fifty thousand pounds Sterling (£50,000) in respect of investment business. Further information about the FSCS (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) is available at www.fscs.org.uk or by calling 0800 678 1100.
If you are an overseas investor (meaning a person who is not a UK resident), you will be required to warrant to Smartlands Platform that, by making any investment on the Website, you, Smartlands Platform, or any of its affiliates will not be in breach of any law or regulation in your home country. This will be done by your acceptance of the Website Terms and Conditions – Here. Neither Smartlands Platform nor any of its affiliates will have any liability should your warranty be incorrect for whatever reason and any related risks are entirely your own.
A purchase of Investee Tokens involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in the Investment Terms & Conditions ("T&Cs") which investors will have to subscribe to when making an investment on the Smartlands Platform. The following risks entail circumstances under which Smartlands Platform Ltd ("Company", "Smartlands Platform", "Smartlands") and the Smartlands Group's business, financial condition, results, operations and prospects could be adversely affected.
Because Investee Tokens and the Smart Contract System are based on the Stellar blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Stellar blockchain may have a material adverse effect on Investee Tokens, the Smart Contract System and/or the Smartlands Platform. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Investee Tokens (including the utility of Investee Tokens in the Smartlands Platform), the Smart Contract System and/or the Smartlands Platform, by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Stellar blockchain. The Smart Contract System concept, the underlying software application and software platform (i.e. the Stellar blockchain) is still in an early development stage and unproven. There is no warranty or assurance that the process for creating Investee Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free and there is an inherent risk that the software could contain defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of contributions and/or Investee Tokens.
Blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which may be contrary to the current setup of the Smart Contract System and/or the Smartlands Platform and which may, inter alia, result in substantial modifications to the Smart Contract System and/or the Smartlands Platform including its termination and the loss of Investee Tokens for the Contributor. Additionally, regulation of proposed activities of the Investee Tokens is currently uncertain. It is not known what regulatory framework the proposed Investee Tokens and associated activities will be subject to, the nature and obligations that will be imposed on the Company in order to comply with any such regulatory framework or when/if the Company will even be able to apply to be regulated, or successfully obtain the necessary licences so that it may lawfully carry out its proposed business activities.
The regulatory status of Investee Tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory authorities may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any legislative or regulatory authorities may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that Investee Tokens are a regulated financial instrument or a security that requires registration or licensing. The Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
The creation and issue of Investee Tokens and the development of the Smartlands Platform may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of commercial success or prospects (e.g. caused by competing projects). There is no assurance that, even if the Smartlands Platform is partially or fully developed and launched, you will be able to use the Investee Tokens as intended or in accordance with the functionalities described in the Investment T&Cs.
The Smartlands Platform may give rise to other, alternative projects, promoted by unaffiliated third parties, under which Investee Tokens will have no intrinsic value. This means that competitors may produce platforms that compete with the Smartlands Platform and may not accept Investee Tokens as payment for services within such platforms; further, such platforms may become more popular and have greater success than the Smartlands Platform.
The Company may choose not to enable or otherwise facilitate any secondary speculative trading or any such external valuation of Investee Tokens. This may restrict the contemplated avenues for using Investee Tokens to the token functionality described in the Investment T&Cs and could therefore create illiquidity risk with respect to any Investee Tokens you own. Even if secondary trading of Investee Tokens is facilitated by third-party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that any third party ascribes an external exchange value to Investee Tokens (e.g. as denominated in a cryptocurrency), such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero. If you are purchasing the Investee Tokens as a form of investment on a speculative basis or otherwise, or for a financial purpose, with the expectation or desire that their inherent, intrinsic or cash-equivalent value may increase with time, you assume all risks associated with such speculation or actions, and any errors associated therewith, and accept that the Investee Tokens are not offered by the Company or its affiliates on an investment basis. You further acknowledge that any contribution that you make under the Investment T&Cs (or you consider to be invested in the Company) will not be protected, guaranteed or reimbursed by any governmental, regulatory or other entity, and will not, for instance be guaranteed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, and is unlikely to be protected by any equivalent scheme in a jurisdiction outside of England and Wales.
Investee Tokens can only be accessed by using a cryptocurrency wallet with a combination of the Contributor's account information (address), private key and password. The private key is encrypted with a password. You acknowledge, understand and accept that if your private key or password gets lost or stolen, the obtained Investee Tokens associated with your cryptocurrency wallet address may be unrecoverable and permanently lost. Additionally, any third party that gains access to your private key, including by gaining access to the login credentials relating to your cryptocurrency wallet, may be able to misappropriate your Investee Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the digital wallet or vault you choose to receive and store Investee Tokens, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your Investee Tokens.
The Smart Contract System concept, the underlying software application and software platform (i.e. the Stellar blockchain) may be exposed to attacks by hackers or other individuals including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Any such successful attacks could result in theft or loss of contributions or Investee Tokens, adversely impacting the ability to develop the Smartlands Platform and derive any usage or functionality from Investee Tokens. Furthermore, because the Smartlands Platform is based on open- source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company's team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or defects into the core infrastructure of the Smartlands Platform, which could negatively affect the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens.
As with other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used for the Smart Contract System is susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, "selfish-mining" attacks, and rare condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Smart Contract System, expected proper execution and sequencing of token transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations. You understand and accept that the network of miners will ultimately be in control of the delivery of the Investee Tokens via the Smart Contract System, and that a majority of miners could agree at any point to make changes, updates, modifications to, or effect a deletion or destruction of the Smart Contract System, and that such a scenario could lead to the Investee Tokens losing intrinsic value and/or functionality.
The wallet or wallet service provider used by you to receive Investee Tokens must conform to the Stellar token standard in order to be technically compatible with Investee Tokens. The failure to ensure such conformity may have the result that you will not gain access to your Investee Tokens.
The Smartlands Platform will need to go through substantial development works as part of which it may become the subject of significant conceptual, technical and commercial changes. As part of the development, an upgrade to Investee Tokens may be required (hard-fork of Investee Tokens) and that, if you decide not to participate in such upgrade, you may no longer be able to use your Investee Tokens and any non-upgraded Investee Tokens may lose its functionality in full.
Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Investee Tokens are uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
The tax characterization of Investee Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with acquisition, storage, transfer and use of Investee Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes and similar taxes, levies, duties or other charges and tax reporting requirements.
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of any currency, decrease in Investee Tokens utility due to negative adoption of the Smartlands Platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Smartlands Platform may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may dissolve and may not be able to continue the development of the Smartlands Platform.
Because Investee Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Company, all decisions involving the Company (including to sell or liquidate the Company) will be made by the Company acting in its sole and absolute discretion; and all decisions involving the Smartlands Platform including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the Smartlands Platform, or regarding the use of Investee Tokens on the Smartlands Platform, will be made by the Company. These decisions could adversely affect the Smartlands Platform and/or Investee Tokens you hold.
The Smartlands Platform, is subject to a variety of laws and regulations (from different countries), including those with respect to KYC/AML and customer due diligence procedures, privacy and data protection, consumer protection, data security, and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting the Smartlands Platform could be enacted, which could impact the utility of Investee Tokens in the Smartlands Platform. Additionally, Smartlands Platform users are subject to or may be adversely affected by industry specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fails to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, it could adversely impact the Smartlands Platform and the Investee Tokens, including its functionality within the Smartlands Platform.
The Smartlands Platform is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although we intend for the Investee Tokens and Smartlands Platform to function as described in Investor T&Cs, and intend to take commercially reasonable steps towards those ends, we may have to make changes to the specifications of the Investee Tokens or the Smartlands Platform for any number of legitimate reasons. Moreover, we may not be able to retain full and effective control over how other participants will use the Smartlands Platform, what products or services will be offered through the Smartlands Platform by third parties, or how third-party products and services will utilise Investee Tokens (if at all). This could create the risk that the Investee Tokens or Smartlands Platform, as further developed and maintained, may not meet your expectations at the time of purchase. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop and participate in the Smartlands Platform, it is still possible that the Smartlands Platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens, and the potential utility of the Investee Tokens in the manner intended at the time of the Security Token Offering.
It is possible that alternative platforms could be established that utilize the same kind of technology, same open source code and protocol underlying the Smartlands Platform and attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the services offered by or within the Smartlands Platform. The Smartlands Platform may compete with these alternatives, which could negatively impact the Smartlands Platform and Investee Tokens, including the utility of the Investee Tokens for obtaining services offered by or within the Smartlands Platform.
Cryptographic tokens such as Investee Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks set out in the Key Risks, there are other risks associated with your acquisition, storage, transfer and use of Investee Tokens, including those that the Company may not be able to anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks set out in these Key Risks.

Atlas Iron Ltd. announced cost reductions and a major project completion in Australia's ore-rich North Pilbara allowing for a break-even 2014, officials added; Q4 witnessed a $169 million balance as shipment of 3.8 million wet metric tons (wmt) exceeded forecasts.
Steady production and shipping, coupled with Pilbara port rights and enhanced iron ore resource inventory, a Perth-based Atlas spokesman noted, will further advance near-term cash flow; $40.5 million in one-time capital restructuring, they added, is pending following Mount Webber project-stage completion.
Company officials, seeking market share against BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, are upbeat. "Operations are exceeding production," said Managing Director Ken Brinsden; representatives cited favorable currency exchanges, oil prices and rates for ocean shipping amid 2015 guidance revisions to $55.8 million, down by $20 million.

Today's the day y'all!! I'm currently on my way to the windy city for a fun girls vacay over this Columbus Day holiday weekend. I'm so excited for the three days ahead; full of sightseeing, eating good food, experiencing the Chicago night life, shopping, seeing the Navy Pier, and more. This will be my first time in Chi-Town, and the "Chicago Fire/PD" fan in me is shrilling with excitement. The only thing that could make this weekend better is a run in with Taylor Kinney (the hottest firefighter on Chicago Fire and apparently the soon to be fiance of Lady Gaga -- still don't get that).
Be sure to follow along on Instagram, as I'll be sharing most of my adventures through Insta photos. Lots of weekend recaps will be on the blog next week, but in the meantime be sure to follow along on social media for sneak peeks and other happenings of my time in the windy city!! *Photo via
Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend,

Choosing the right option
Throughout the United States and California to be specific, there are hundreds of qualified cleft surgery professionals that care for children with clefts. However, since the number of children in need of these services seems to be increasing with each day that passes, you may have to consider some aspects before choosing for a specialist or healthcare facility that will offer you the best services around. Here is a breakdown of some of the most important aspects that you need to consider.
How many specialists take part in the surgical procedure? If you realize that there are few professionals participating in the treatment, there are high chances that your child may end up not getting the best results that you are hoping for. Cleft surgery requires an audiologist, a surgeon, an orthodontist, a pediatric dentist, a nurse, a psychologist, and an otolaryngologist. We at Wide Smiles have all of these and additional ones for the best services around.
Apart from the above, you need to consider the years of experience that your preferred cleft surgeons have. Many years in the field translate to sufficient experience. Why work with people or companies who have been in the field for less than a year? We have two decades of experience, and with us, rest assured that your child will be attended by experienced and qualified personnel.
Registration and qualification is another factor that you should not ignore when choosing the best surgeon around. We at Wide Smiles have a team of fully trained and qualified individuals that are licensed and certified to operate. If you fail to put into consideration these important aspects, the quality of care that your child will receive in addition to your insurance coverage will be affected negatively. It is always important to ensure that you are dealing with registered individuals or companies. We at Wide Smiles are fully registered and licensed to operate our business. If you choose us to repair the cleft in your child's lip, rest assured that you will be working with a professional who will offer you the best services around.
The above are not conclusive. Choosing the best firm to take care of cleft repair or surgery on your child's lip may also require you to do a little digging. Are you aware of their client reviews? How are they rated locally and online? If you happen to ask your friends and neighbors or visit the website looking for client testimonials or client reviews, what you will hear from them will automatically let you know whether you are dealing with professionals or quacks. If a significant number of client reviews are negative, you better walk away. We at Wide Smiles have the best client testimonials around. With us, expect the best services around Stockton California and the neighboring surroundings.
Apart from the above, other equally important factors that a lot of people fail to put into consideration is to make sure whether the address or the phone number that your potential surgical firm is working. Also, you may want to consider their mode of payment. If they insist on cash, just walk away. We have a working address and phone lines, and our mode of payment depends on what you like.

The teaching of reading and writing goes far beyond imparting two very useful and necessary skills. Reading, of course, is basic to survival in our modern world (think: leases, contracts, small print on the credit card...) Writing, not nearly as much, but is clearly the skill that opens doors.
Not only is literacy the way up and out of poverty, developing these skills improves the world. Yes. They may even pave the road to world peace, saving the planet, eradicating hunger, and a host of other human-created ills.
All of these changes are possible because good readers and writers learn empathy along with their ABCs.
In order to read well (and with pleasure) the fluent reader conjures an entire world in their mind. Like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix we really are having a virtual experience. We stand in someone else's shoes, have their thoughts, feel their feelings. We even experience smells, excitement, fear, and love.
All this cognitive practice is transferred to the real world where mind-mirroring grows easier and easier after the accumulation of these virtual experiences. It is no mistake that my poorer readers have a harder time sympathizing with their classmates. They've had less practice. Pleasurable reading is a long graduate course in understanding our fellow man. Is it any wonder that the non-reading rabble in Medieval England enjoyed public hangings as spectacle?
And what about writing, reading's conjoined twin? Writing is also an act of empathy. Strong writers imagine an audience as they write. Who will read this? What would appeal to his or her taste? What does my reader need to know in order to understand my point?
And not only that, the strong writer is often a strong reader who has had years of practice negotiating virtual worlds across continents of imagination. They need only conjure their own world, and then write it down. Visualizing experience is the first step in showing rather than telling.
That's why we need to focus on creating readers who love to read, above all else. Even above STEM skills, because what use is engineering, science, technology, and math if you don't know (or have) humanity? And every test--even a math test--is a reading test first.
One day we will expend whatever it takes to create readers out of every child. We know how. We just need to commit. Moreover, we need to expand the time students have to learn to read and to learn to love to read. And following on the heels of that will be scores writers.
And one day, we will change the world.

The Albany Rural Cemetery is divided into three sections - the North, Middle, and South Ridges - with two deep ravines separating them.
The vast North Ridge section contains some of the Cemetery's oldest graves. When the Cemetery first offered lots for sale, this area was the least expensive and, as a result, it lacks the grander monuments of the other sections. There are, of course, exceptions such as the massive Winslow family vault at the foot of North Ridge Road, the majestic eagle-topped column of Colonel Mills who fell at Sacketts Harbor, and the Civil War monument watching over the Soldiers Plot.
For the most part, though, this area is filled with smaller monuments and simpler headstones compared to the South and Middle Ridges. This statue is one of the fancier monuments on the North Ridge and is quite easy to miss as it is set back from the main road and faces the heavily wooded gully that cuts between the North and Middle Ridges.

Sahabat ( Best Friend ), 2020
, 40 x 25 x 40 cm
About the artist
Adi was born in Yogyakarta in 1974, Indonesia and received his education at Institut Seni Indonesia, Yogyakarta. In his symbolic sculptures, Adi invokes euphoria and the significance of animals in his work due to his cultural background of growing up in an agrarian society. He uses his cultural positioning as a tool to visualize motions, gestures, characters and expressions of various subjects that he sculpts. He then conveys constructed meaning which, in and through his forms, figures and compositions, puts forth the issue of a mystical relationship between animals and humans. Adi's highest accolade thus far was representing Indonesia at the Beijing Olympics 2008 Fine Arts Exhibition, where he was bestowed the further honor of an Olympic Torch Award. His sculpture toured Hong Kong, the United States, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland and many other countries.

Civil War History
Nothing — from the campaign's earliest days back in November, to this morning's attempt to finally bridge the Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg — had gone as planned for the Army of the Potomac. It was mid-afternoon, December 11, 1862. No bridges yet spanned the river. No Federals yet occupied the southern bank. No advance had taken place. http://www.civilwar.org/hallowed-ground-magazine/winter-2012/before-the-slaughter.html
America's Battleground
Battle of Fredericksburg
The Federals occupy Fredericksburg
On December 11, Burnside's engineers finally began to assemble the bridges. Confederate snipers in Fredericksburg picked away at the builders, so Yankee artillery began a barrage that reduced to rubble many of the buildings along the river. Three regiments ran the sharpshooters out of the town, and the bridge was completed soon after. By evening on the 11th, the Union army was crossing the Rappahannock. By the next day, the entire army was on the other side and Burnside planned the actual attack.
The Battle of Fredericksburg, which took place on December 13, was an enormous defeat for the Army of the Potomac. Lee lost less than 5,000 men while Burnside lost some 12,600.http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/federals-occupy-fredericksburg

Synopsis for "When the Dead Call"
At the JSA headquarters, The Flash, Stargirl, Doctor Mid-Nite, Jakeen Thunder and the Thunderbolt, Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Wildcat and Power Girl are accosted by the Gentleman Ghost. Stargirl and Power Girl try to attack him, but he turns intangible and vanishes. The team believes he is a trickster thief, but the Thunderbolt disagrees—he's an actual ghost.
In a series of flashbacks, we see the Ghost's life: the death of his mother, and his subsequent career as a pickpocket. With stolen money, he goes to the Gypsy Queen, who lives by the Tyburn Gallows. She prophesies that he will die by hanging, and 'meet his end by noble blood', only to return as a ghost. She also says that centuries in the future, he will fight his fiercest foes in the British royal castle. If his foes die that night, he will live again. He refuses to believe her.
On Hart's Island in New York City, Jakeem Thunder is considering the Gentleman Ghost's use of his late brother - a brother he never knew he had. Convincing the Thunderbolt to help him, he meets all his late family. They perished in the fire that killed Jakeem's grandmother, and his aunt never mentioned his brother because she blamed him for the fire. Although they must return to their rest, Jakeem is left with a least the knowledge of their existence.
On the road to Gotham City, Jay Garrick and Alan Scott are traveling. Under Jay's questioning, Alan admits the identity of his ghost—Ted Musgrave, his college roommate, who died in an accident at the Gotham Broadcasting Antenna years ago. Alan still blames himself for the death, and both heroes vow to make Craddock pay for his crimes. At the broadcasting antenna where Musgrave died, they are accosted by the two ghosts. Musgrave uses his own standing charge to electrocute Jay, but he recovers. Alan is then hit by falling debris.
At the brownstone, Ma Hunkel is clearing up the mess causes by Craddock's appearance, when he reappears. He is looking for Wonder Woman, but he is instead ambushed by Power Girl. He vanishes again, leaving Power Girl to wonder how they can catch him.
- The Gentleman Ghost's memories of Earth-Two Wonder Woman indicates that the Justice Society are not the only ones who can remember the existence of the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths multiverse.
- No trivia.

The impact of Chile's food labeling law
Senator Guido Girardi shares updates on the effects of the law during a visit to FAO
Rome – Senator Guido Girardi, author of the Chile's food labeling law, recently visited FAO for a working meeting with the Parliamentary Alliances team of the Partnerships division, taking the opportunity to present an update on the impact of the law.
The Chilean food labeling law, which entered into force in 2016, was the first of its kind and an important example of the role that parliamentarians can play in improving food security and nutrition. The law requires foods that exceed specified limits of sodium, sugar, and saturated fats to be clearly labeled as such, and imposes certain restrictions on advertising unhealthy foods to children. Today, large black labels on foods that surpass these limits help to educate consumers about the content and make healthier purchases.
Prior to the introduction of the law, Chile registered some of the highest rates of overweight and obesity in the region. Of specific concern was the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children: in 2016, nearly 25% of all first-grade primary school students in Chile were considered obese. Senator Girardi, a physician by training, worked tirelessly to combat rising obesity rates and improve child nutrition, and the law was approved after ten years of parliamentary debate. As the number of diseases and deaths from poor diets increase, both in developed and developing countries, public policy has proven to be a critical tool for combating malnutrition and reducing rates of overweight and obesity.
Senator Girardi is optimistic about the law's effects, explaining that people have already begun to move away from products that are clearly labeled as unhealthy. In addition, while the resistance of large food companies is generally a major obstacle to laws that regulate food production, he mentioned that about 20% of the large sugar and food companies in Chile have begun to adapt to the new law by modifying nutritional content in terms of sugar, salt, and fat, and by eliminating transgenic components.
The law has not only had positive effects for Chile, but for other countries as well: some countries, including Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador, have already begun to introduce similar laws, while other countries are studying the Chilean labeling law as a model for their own legislation.

Funny License Plate #266
Not sure why, but this biker's license plate doesn't exactly scream "manly." Could it be that we've never heard anyone with a husky voice mutter "Me Oh My Oh" ? Or could it be that when we see this phrase, our naive, child-like nature makes us hear the voice of Dorothy singing a remix of "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears." Oh My! Whatever it is, we can't help but chuckle over this funny license plate.

Smart businesses know that one of their most valuable and difficult to replace assets is computer data. That's why they may spend millions on fortress-like data centers, wired with redundant sources of power, designed to withstand the worst of Mother Nature. In Springfield, Missouri, the local public power provider is deeply involved in this critical need - 85 feet deep, to be precise.
SpringNet, a division of City Utilities of Springfield, operates an underground data center hosting facility covering more than an acre inside an old mine. With sophisticated surveillance and solid limestone all around, it's naturally able to withstand natural and man-made disasters, as well as security threats. It's equipped with all of the necessary infrastructure to keep customers' computer operations up and running, including power from a dedicated underground substation, backup generators, and battery banks.
Within the mine, SpringNet has constructed concrete buildings to offer additional protection. Customers have numerous options for taking advantage of the space - everything from leasing portions of server cabinets to arranging for construction of their own custom-designed concrete buildings.

This post is the second in a series, sharing the trials and tribulations of the "re-automation" of my home heating system. For an introduction to the project, view the first post – The Idea.
We will look at the infrastructure of the heating system, I will include as many photos as possible and links to the products, so that you can view more detailed information, should you want.
The heating products
The system installed in my house is an integrated JG (John Guest) hybrid system. I say hybrid, as it consists of underfloor heating downstairs and conventional radiators upstairs.
JGTOUCHPAD. This is the central point of managing the entire system. It sits on a wired heating network as the master controller. All the room controllers can be set via the Touch Pad through a reasonably easy to use touch interface.
JGSTAT v3. There are two flavours: In the kitchen is a PRTHW-N model, this is a room temperature controller and has the additional feature of managing the hot water. The other 11 controllers are PRT-N models, which are exclusively room temperature controllers. They all have a large LCD display with a nice backlit screen, slim fitting on the wall and easy to use. They're not touch screen, you operate them via the grey buttons.
The JG UH1 is the point at which all the room controllers and the Touch Pad connect together. It's the equivalent of your internet router where all your devices connect to, difference being it's all wired, not wireless. Each room is considered a "Zone", there are only 8 zones available in the UH1. In my house the installer has put in two UH1s, one downstairs and one upstairs. The UH1 is also the point where the heating zone valves, tank stat and boiler enable are wired. The UH1s link together via the communication bus, so they do talk together.
The UH1s, room controllers and touch pad are linked together by an 8 core CAT 5e shielded twisted pair cable. Each room controller has a relay embedded within them, when the room controller calls for heating, the relay energises which activates the output valve for that zone in the UH1. It also activates the underfloor heating pump and enables the boiler on. Upstairs, the concept is the same: each radiator has a valve which is switched by the room controller.
Discovering the system
The Touch Pad controller was installed alongside the room controller in Диктант. the kitchen/living room. Unfortunately this was 4ft off the ground, so my first task was to move the Touch Pad to standing eye height. After many hours of cutting holes and routing cables, I finally had the Touch Pad mounted where I wanted it. Unfortunately, when I powered the system back on, the low voltage fuse blew in the UH1. I triple checked everything and there weren't any obvious issues. It was a Sunday night in winter and I had now managed to take out the entire heating system, which didn't go down well!!
To cut a long story short, after purchasing some low voltage fuses from the ever dependable Maplins; plus many hours of belling out cables with a multimeter, I discovered a short in two cables. They must have been sliced during the orignial installation. When the wiring was disturbed, this caused the cables to touch and short circuit, blowing the fuse.
Inside the JG Touch Pad
The internals of the of the JG Touch Pad look like this:
The photo shows the reverse side of the Touch Pad, the touch screen is face down. The green socket in the middle is the main connector that plugs into the backplate, mounted Heating onto the wall. As an interesting point to note, the touch pad utilises a Samsung ARM processor.
I spent some time Googling "JG protocol" and a range of variations, to no avail. It seemed that nobody had actively reverse engineered any of their protocols. I was beginning to believe that it must all be propriety and that it was going to take hours of researching to work out how the system communicates between controllers. Thankfully, what you see in the photo above was my saving grace. You may notice underneath Illicit the left-hand vertical golden ribbon some white text which reads "HEATMISER".
After some Google searches with various terms for Heatmiser, it turned out that Heatmiser are the manufacturer of the JG products. JG have re-branded and modded the products to suit their requirements. They still share the same product variant names, for example "Heatmiser UH1" and "JG UH1". The best part of this discovery were the droves of developments available for the Heatmiser products. The highlights of what I discovered were:
- The controllers communicate via an RS485 network.
- The Touch Pad is the master node (as expected).
- The comms protocol was published online (so I thought, at the time).
The first thing I needed was the ability to link into and communicate with the network, so I bought one of these:
It's an RS232/RS485 to WIFI converter. What is essentially does is makes it easy to view the raw communication transmitting on the heating network. I will discuss the network communications and protocol in a future post.
The Connections
Touch Pad
The connections for the cabled network are very straightforward. The +/- points are the power connections. The UH1s provide a 12v DC supply via two of the cables, in my setup, the installer has used the Orange/Orange-White cables. The Y/B connection points are the RS485 network. Doeksen The C/D connection points seem specific to the Touch Pad, as none of the other room controllers have the C/D connections.
Room Controllers (JG Stat – 11 x PRT-N and 1 x PRTHW-N):
The PRT-N controllers, which are in 11 of my rooms, have:
- +/- power connections (12v)
- Y/B RS485 network connections
- A1/A2 relay connection Monkey point
The additional A1/A2 connections are from the output of the controllers switching relay. You could, in theory, put a conventional switch here (on the UH1 side) and switch the zone on and off.
The special PRTHW-N, which also controls the hot water, has an additional B1/B2 connection. This is the output Miami Dolphins Jerseys from the hot water demand relay, within the controller.
The Engine Room
In a conventional system, each radiator links up from a heating loop which runs around the house. In my system, every radiator links back to two central points. There is an upstairs distribution cupboard, "the engine room", and a downstairs cupboard too.
Here's what the upstairs cupboard looks like:
Looks impressive doesn't it? What you can see is the UH1 at the top, the white cables from the bottom of the UH1 are the wires to the zone valves. The brass manifolds are the supply and return to and from the boiler. The 9 cream cubes are the valves that control the flow of the supply to an individual zone. The zone valves are actually powered by a 240v AC supply, they're either open or closed, based on the room controllers demand. The silver metal box is a two port control valve that isolates the manifolds when no demand exists, I'm not entirely sure on the logic of this, as with all valves closed, there would be no flow, possibly over design?
The orange and white tubular units are the heating manifold flow regulators. The length of the pipe to each radiator will vary from room to room, to compensate for this, the installer would balance each zone flow rate using these units.
A closer look at the zone valve and flow regulator:
The heating philosophy
Every room controller has a time schedule for when that specific room does and does not require heat. The controller is actually capable of maintaining two types of schedule: a 7 days schedule or a weekday/weekend schedule. Within each day, there are two periods available to provide heating. The first is the "Wake up" time, the ON time, and the "Leave" time, the OFF time. The second schedule is "Return" time (ON) and the "Sleep" time (OFF). When the controller switches between the ON and OFF schedules it switches between a user defined low temperature and a comfort temperature.
My controllers are limited to the simpler Weekday/Weekend (5/2) schedule, this is a limitation of the Touch Pad, as it only supports this type of schedule. During the OFF schedule I don't normally want the boiler to come on other than for frost protection, generally I find that 15°C is a safe limit and very rarely will a room get this cold, even in winter. The only exception to this is bedrooms overnight; clearly, if a bedroom temperature dropped to near 15°C it's not going to be comfortable, therefore the bedrooms are set to a minimum of 19°C.
You can program these schedules directly on the room controllers, with some intricate key pressing, or more simply on the central Touch Pad controller. Either way, the schedule is stored in the individual room controller, which I like, as it provides a degree of redundancy. The Touch Pad controller provides the cheap jerseys added benefit of centrally managing the system, you can copy-and-paste schedules between controllers, set "Hold" temperatures for groups of controllers, so on and so forth.
One of the overall benefits with this type of setup is that the heating is only provided to the rooms that request it. Therefore, if you want heat in only one room in the entire house, you're not paying to heat everywhere, this strategy is more energy efficient and cheaper to run than conventional system.
In summary
We've reviewed the components in the heating system responsible for the control side. I've omitted wholesale jerseys discussing too much about the boiler, pumps and the design of the physical system, but there is an article here if you're interested (bear in mind it's a conventional system in the article).
Every controller stores its own schedule. If the current schedule period is in an "ON" period and the room temperature is less than the set temperature, the relay in the controller activates. This switches the relay in the UH1 which opens the zone valve for that room. The UH1 then opens the manifold valve, switches on the circulation pump and then enables the boiler. The boiler regulates the flow temperature based an a separate control system. Once the room is up to temperature the reverse happens: The relay de-energises, this soodustus closes the zone valve and if no other zone is calling for heating, motors the two port valve closed, the "boiler enable" is set to OFF.
In the next article we will discuss "Tapping into the system" which will detail the specifics of understanding the communication protocol of the system between the Touch Pad and room controllers.
Stay tuned!

Charlton midfielder Katie Holtham is hoping The FA Women's Cup Final will kick-start a superb summer for English female football.
A record crowd is already guaranteed for the game between Arsenal and Charlton at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on Monday 7 May, with more than 17,000 tickets sold in advance.
And millions of viewers will tune in to watch the match live on BBC television as women's football begins an exciting build-up to the World Cup Finals in China in September where England will compete.
And Holtham says: "The FA Women's Cup Final is a massive event because it gives so many people the chance to see top-class female football.
"It's great to have lots of young girls watching and maybe inspire them to take up football or get more involved.
"And this is the start of the road towards China, with lots of potential England players already excited about the thought of the World Cup."
Holtham accepts that Charlton will be the underdogs against Arsenal, but is determined to help her side produce a shock.
"Arsenal are obviously the favourites with the way they have been playing in the League and also in Europe," she adds.
"But we were the last team to beat them, when we won 2-1 last season, so we know we can do it and we are going there to claim the trophy."

Once connected, we automatically receive the following workout information once daily from connected Fitbit accounts:
- Daily Steps
- Weight (only if entered in Fitbit or you have a Fitbit Aria scale)
- Sleep Total
Why are activities and stats are not syncing to MapMy account?
At this time we are only able to sync steps and sleep from Fitbit. These will appear in MapMy as part of your total daily steps count on the 24/7 tab of the website. Steps from Fitbit should sync to MapMy at the end of each day (around midnight), so if you are not seeing your steps, please wait until the following day and scroll backward to the previous day to view your total.
If information is not syncing at all, please review the troubleshooting below.
- Verify the correct source for your steps/sleep is prioritized.
- On our website, click the "Data Preferences" button at the top of the Connect Accounts & Devices page and make sure that Fitbit is your step and/or sleep source.
- In the app, open the menu > select "Connect Apps & Devices" > tap the Settings cog in the upper right > select Fitbit to be your source for steps and/or sleep.
- Initiate a manual sync of data.
- On our website, visit the Connect Accounts & Devices page and click "Sync Data" inside the Fitbit widget. This will initiate a manual sync. Wait a few minutes then check to see if your MapMy account updates with correct information.
- Disconnect/reconnect within MapMy.
- On our website, visit the Connect Accounts & Devices page and click the blue link icon within the Fitbit widget. Click to disconnect it from MapMy. After doing so, reconnect Fitbit and check if the data transfers to MapMy within 24 hrs.
- In the app, open the menu > select "Connect Apps & Devices" > select "Fitbit" > Disconnect. Follow the same steps for reconnecting.
Can I use my Fitbit Charge or Surge HR to capture heart rate in MapMy?
At this time MapMy cannot utilize your Charge or Surge HR to capture heart rate data. Eventually we hope to add this feature when the ability to do so becomes available from Fitbit.
If you have any other questions or concerns regarding this integration, please submit a support request here.
Why doesn't my data in MapMy sync to my Fitbit account?
At this time, our integration only works in one direction: from Fitbit to MapMy (not vice versa).

The next stop on our tour was the cute little village of Lucca. This was Elisa's favourite town because she was its queen – there was a gateway, several bars, cafe's and restaurants all named after her. Elisa, Kay, Theo, Fraser, Robyn and I all wandered around the city together…and as you do, decided the best thing we could possibly do was a rent a six-person-cycle to tour the wall. Yup. Not one of us hesitated when the suggestion was made, which tells you alot about us as a group. Continue reading

And Away We Go
Now that we've met La Famiglia, i can talk about the actual tour. It was amazing, and with each stop we made I fell more and more in love with Italy. Each place seemed more beautiful than the next. Continue reading
Enter La Famiglia
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't written my blog for a while. Partly I have been so busy I haven't had time to write. But also I hit a bit of writer's block. I met a group of people who I love more than I ever expected to, and I had the time of my life during these next two weeks of my trip. It has been really hard for me to try to describe the people, the places, the laughter. Every time I try to write about it, I say too much and too little all at the same time.
So here's my attempt, paired with lots of photos because pictures show better than my words could, the magic of the next two weeks of my incredibly, life changing journey through Europe to my new life in Ireland.
Aglio, Olio, Pepperoncino – or Learning to Cook in Tuscany
While in Viareggio I had arranged to have 5 cooking classes. I assumed this would be like any other class, in a classroom setting with lots of students there. Who wouldn't want to learn to cook in Tuscany?! I had checked if not speaking Italian would be an issue, and was assured it would be fine. So when I arrived at my first class, I was completely surprised to find myself alone in a tiny hotel kitchen with a little Italian Grandma. Continue reading
Learning at the Tuscan Seaside
Italy was a big part of my backpacking trip, I was spending a whole month traveling around the country. I had never been there before, I'd only seen it in movies like Only You and Roman Holiday. I was so excited to get there and really see this beautiful country that creates so many of my favourite things: gelato, gnocchi, olives and olive oil, of course wine. My first stop was to be Viareggio in Tuscany for two weeks of Italian language classes, and some cooking classes thrown in. I was staying in an apartment with a few other students, arranged by the school (Centro Giacomo Puccini), about a 10 minute walk from school and from the bordwalk/beach. I couldn't wait to arrive and get started. Continue reading
Arriving at the Sea and then Calamity
I loved Nice. I arrived in a rainstorm of Vancouver proportions and that still did nothing to dampen my love of Nice. Continue reading
I Won't Dance (Don't Ask Me)
From the moment I walked out of the Avignon train station, I was in love. I can't exactly explain what about this city I love, it is a similar feeling to that of Marrakech. An energy, something ephemeral. A feeling that I could stay here, the feeling of falling in love at first sight, unexpected and exciting. Continue reading
Strangers on a Train
After I left Weiden I was headed towards Italy for my Italian language classes. I had intended to spend more time traveling around Germany, but changed my plans last minute and decided to head south. First stop: Zurich. Unfortunately for me, the German train conductors decided to go on strike. Continue reading
A Very Bavarian Experience
After my trip to Paris and Bordeaux, I returned to my home-base, aka Loe's home near Weiden. It's been absolutely wonderful to have this house to keep returning to, I can't say how grateful I've been that Loe let me stay with her off and on for the past few months.
Bordeaux – more than just wine
I came to Bordeaux for the wine, I left with more perspective. It was definitely not what I was expecting, but as usual, that is a good thing. Continue reading
