The long-run view: how UAE demographic trends shape property markets
Real estate may be a leading indicator of demographic change in the UAE, as opposed to being driven by it01 Jul 2019 - Opinion
Julian Roche joined Cavendish Maxwell as Chief Economist in January 2019. From an old real estate family in Ireland, his career as an economist began with a first class honours degree in philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) at the age of 19, following which he was an analyst with the UK Government. Roche later helped develop and launch the UK's residential forecasting service with the firms that merged to become Global Insight. He subsequently developed derivatives in the City of London and established real estate futures contracts for what is now the International Commodity Exchange. He also ran a property development and management firm, before eventually serving as an international consultant and trainer to governments, central banks and notable firms including AXA, Citibank, DBS, Deloitte and Thomson Reuters. He fills his work-free time with academic pursuits; he holds several postgraduate degrees, including a PhD in international risk management policy, and a Licensed Conveyancer qualification. He has also published many business and academic texts and articles, and is a keen walker – especially fond of the Scottish Highlands.

Annette explains if women with menstrual cycle complications should consider a hysterectomy.
If women are having a lot of trouble, constant issues, pain, a lot of bleeding, perhaps they've been diagnosed with endometriosis or other menstrual- related complications, I always suggest that they get a couple of opinions about their situation. And a lot depends on how old they are, where they are in the cycle of wanting to have children, not have children, already done with children, but this is one thing that I have found, particularly with ovarian cancer.
If you don't need the ovaries and you're having a lot of problems, you should really talk to doctors about when it's time to get them out. And my concern there is that many of these menstrual conditions occurred in women who were later diagnosed with ovarian cancer, that was my case. I had several D&Cs, I had a lot of bleeding, a lot of clotting, and that subject was never brought up to me at all, about having a hysterectomy.
So I think that if you're at a place in your life where it's something that is a reasonable alternative, I would encourage women to have the hysterectomy.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 released !
Today Red Hat released a minor update (v5.4) of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 product line. The minor releases comprise mostly of bug-fixes and feature enhancements and the official announcement is pretty light on both, likely because Red Hat has its yearly summit right now in Chicago. (And yes, I lack the budget to go there :-/)
To get a better picture at what is in RHEL 5.4, you can read the Beta announcement and the (unusual) Beta update announcement.
The biggest changes are:
- Official support for KVM virtualization (next to Xen virtualization)
- Kernel support for fuse and xfs
- Lots of kernel driver enhancement (back-ported video, audio, server hardware, kernel infrastructure, ...)
- Lots of Technology Previews (things anticipated for RHEL 5.5) like
- clustered samba
- cluster virtualization
- SPICE X11 drivers
- FCoE (FibreChannel over Ethernet)
- ext4 support
- more SystemTap kernel tracepoints
- gcc 4.4
If you think Enterprise Linux is dull and generally not sexy, think again, this is where the real action is. At least if you plan to *use* any of it properly :-)
Update: More information in Red Hat's "Press Release".
Update 2: And more technical information from the Release Notes
Dull is good
Dull is good, especially if you have to run this stuff in production. RHEL has been consistent about one thing from the beginning: it is reliable. When keeping a roof over your family's head depends on it, that's really important. Of course such dullness would be less bearable if it weren't for guys like Dag who do the hard work of providing all those extra packages not included in the core distro.
The development time spent on
The development time spent on RHEL 5.4 should have gone towards getting RHEL 6 out of the door instead. RHEL 5 is decrepit by this point; the kernel is three years old, for God's sake. I don't care for new features in more modern kernels as much as I want to be reasonably up-to-date in order to avoid having to rely on increasingly complex backports of security fixes that may end up breaking things due to the increasing divergence between mainline and the RHEL 5 kernel.
We had the breakage of NFS caching (making NFS practically useless) last year; what's it going to be next time? And when it happens, are we going to have to wait for the next release of RHEL 5 to get it fixed?
A computer should facilitate your life, not the other way around
Your comment reveals an ignorance about how Red Hat Enterprise Linux works. Different teams are working on different releases, mostly because the maintenance work on RHEL5 is very different from new integration work and development on the upcoming RHEL6 release.
That is why you can still run RHEL3 (which is almost 7 years old!), RHEL4 and RHEL5 and get security fixes for all three of them, while other people are preparing RHEL6. It's not an either-or thing, but rather an and-and proposition.
Of course, if you're only interested in the latest and greatest, you may not be the target audience an Enterprise Linux is looking for.
But that will change once you realize your computer exists to help you do work, rather than consume more time in spite of doing more work. And then the version or features or not that important anymore.
Maybe ?

There are already a few sub-Tenon's cannula available for use . The features and benefits of this cannula over other cannulae are:
- It is curved (radius of curvature 14 mm) in such a way that, when it is pushed into the sub-Tenon's space it will remain in the sub-Tenon's space. This will avoid damage the optic nerve ocular muscles, and the blood vessels.
- The curved portion is 27 mm long. When the cannula is inserted at 5 mm from the from limbus,it will be about 5 mm away from the optic nerve. Even in relation to the smallest eye ball, the tip will be 5mm away from the optic nerve and will not damage it. In longer eye balls, the tip will be behind the equator so that it will not produce messy chemosis.
The straight position which is tangential to the curved position indicates the point at which the penetration should stop. This enables the surgeons to know when to stop the penetration into the sub-Tenon's space.
This cannula is easy to use and will avoid complications which can be anticipated from other sub-Tenon's cannulae.

Somehow it struck me.
The problem with "Rivfader" was that while there was nothing wrong with the actual song, it was played in so high key that it sounded too "light" to the other´s ears. So I took an hour to re- record all the stringed instruments again in different tune (transposed, not down- tuned) and blatantly pitched manually all the keyboards. Then I added a bit more variation to the last chorus and gave it a spin.
The result was uncanny. Going from C- minor to A minor did not actually make it sound heavy -like the other songs-, but I could also go lower in the places when the original riff clearly needed it. And, if you play guitar or bass, you know how much nicer it is to be able to use more open strings.
So, I boldly renamed the song as "rivfader_demovoxVITUNKOVA.mp3" ("vitun kova" would be directly translated as "fucking awesome") and posted it to the guys. An hour later I got an SMS which said "Rivfader_VITUNKOVA on oikeesti ihan vitun kova!!!!" (...".is really fucking awesome!!!!").
Trouble well spent. Moral of the story? Sometimes you can´t see the forest from the trees no matter how far- sighted you should technically be. Also, Blodsvett was greatly appreciated. This is awesome!
Now I need some coffee and a small break from composing alone- don´t want to end up repeating myself too much. Or I might call Tundra and ask him to drop by later if he´s cured from his Czech tour hangover by then....then again, knowing him, he´ll be having the same hangover still at thursday. :D
Later, peeps.
PS: Don´t forget to participate on the question "How are YOU imagining new Finntroll- material sounding?" on Facebook!

A year after its 1901 founding, St. William Community was described in The Record as being "a young but thriving parish in a heavily settled district, and will soon become, with God's help, a great power for good." In 1902 Bishop William G. McCloskey laid the cornerstone for its Norman-Gothic edifice, with a wood-beam ceiling, on the corner of 13th and Oak Streets. Father Denis Murphy was the first pastor. A school was in operation immediately, staffed by the Sisters of Mercy from 1903 to 1962 and housed in a new building in 1951. The school closed in 1962.
With membership down to eighty-five by 1962, St. William nearly closed. However, the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) reenergized liturgical participation and social justice concerns. Membership rose. New Directions Housing Corporation, St. William Neighborhood Center (now GuardiaCare), and other outreach activities developed, some housed in the former school building. In the mid 1980s, St. William developed a sister-parish relationship with Our Lord of Esquipulas in Nicaragua, then a tie with Casa Materna, housing mothers with high-risk pregnancies. In 1990, Just Creations was launched to support artisans in developing countries. Renting space to Dismas Charities as a minimum-security prison created a prison ministry. In 2000, CrossRoads Ministry opened to offer young Catholics a prayerful retreat experience of justice and peacemaking, and the St. Vincent de Paul Conference was reestablished.
Committed to peace-making, St. William publicly opposed the Vietnam and Iraq wars and offered sanctuary to Central American refugees in the 1980s. The parish supports many organizations that improve the lives of people in need.
The parish's decision to use inclusive language and its mission statement call the 300-plus parishioners to be challenging voices: "We commit ourselves…to serve the poor and oppressed far and near and to eliminate the causes of violence and injustice. We open our hearts and our doors to all people and hold in high esteem God's creative diversity."

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Veteran film maker Lenin Rajendran has said there are many good sides to new generation cinema. The exponents of the new generation cinema have been able to rewrite the way in which a theme used to chosen and the way in which a story used to be told. "They proved that a story can be said in that way also. Among them, some are good and some are dud," he said at a meet-the-press programme held at Kesari hall.
Among the new generation film directors, there are also people who make an exact copy of foreign films. "This has happened from time to time. I have taken cinemas about isolated people. The next film will also be of that kind. Unlike the normal perception, I didn't see Swathithurnal as a superhuman, while making film about the king. I saw him as the person who had turned against the era in which he lived. 'Makaramanju' showed the weakness of artist Ravivarma and the mental torture he had to undergo in his period. In Kulam, Marthandavarma was not eulogised. Edavapathy was also a search on the life of those who had been alone in life. The film is also about the dream and pain of Tibetan refugees," he said.
Lenin Rajendran said Edavathy had many interruptions. Jagathy Sreekumar met with near fatal accident while going to the shooting location of the film. Manisha Koirala also said she was ill, in the midst of the shooting and subsequently came to know Cancer had struck her down. Later she survived the disease and retuned to act.
Lenin said among his films, Vachanam, the first film to talk against God man, is his favourite. "I have welcomed both flops and successes in my filmi career but I am not game for directing films according to changing trends. That is the reason why there are long gaps between my two films. My biggest heartbreak was, however, 'Prem nazeer ne Kanmanilla'," Lenin said adding that crisis and problems reinforces the very existence of Cinema.

jaraczs, great to hear from you again! Thank you for the comprehensive update. Condolences on the loss of your father.
What a PIA dealing with 21st century EU regulatory compliance issues, not to mention the airbag warning light and sensors. Thankfully you were able to get the issues resolved, and wonderful to see the car continue being actively utilized. There is another US-spec i-MiEV in that part of the world (I couldn't find the link to his post on this forum - anyone?), and of course we have kiwiev.com in Slovakia and his delightful videos.
Your early posts continue to be referenced, especially the heater upgrade. Glad to see you continuing to drive full electric back here. A number of members on this forum have also picked up the Bolt EV.
Take care, enjoy your summer, and do stay in touch.

Two Critically Injured in Ferguson Township Crash
Authorities say two people suffered critical injuries in a crash late Sunday.
The one-vehicle crash occurred about 11:24 p.m. in the 3900 block of West Whitehall Road, according to the Ferguson Township Police Department.
Authorities say speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.
Authorities say an investigation revealed Wesley Duckworth, 32, of Patton Township, lost control of his vehicle while heading westbound at which point his vehicle hit a fence and tree at the Kocher Farm.
Duckworth was taken by helicopter to UPMC Altoona. His passenger, Jeremiah Dirsmith, 32, of Ferguson Township, was taken by ambulance to UPMC Altoona. Both occupants are in critical condition, police say.
The crash forced authorities to close the roadway for roughly four hours.
Assisting agencies included Centre Life Link EMS, Alpha Fire Police and Alpha Fire Company.

New Post
If you look at the girl in the photo up close, she looks really evil for real...like scary evil. But anyway, this was the best reaction I've had...I think...ever. There was that laughing where you can't catch your breath. I saw tears. It was quite a scene. I can't take all the credit. These were awesome people and it seemed the situation was just right. There was the right amount of nervousness and, within the family, there was a really good rapport between the people. When they saw the drawing there was such an eruption and it really made my day, maybe even my week.

YA Green Light Reads
Kelly Jensen a librarian and a blogger at STACKED shared this fantastic flowchart of current YA books, suitable for all readers, with Book Riot and we thought it was so good we wanted to pass it along to you. Kelly explains Green Light Reads as "a book that doesn't contain a lot of swearing, gory violence, partying, or sensitive content. It's not like any of those things are bad in YA books (they're not, and frankly, dark, edgy YA is my favorite kind of YA), but there's something to be said about having a ready list of books that would go over with little objection to almost any reader." This list of books is also perfect for the tween reader starting to show interest in YA fiction. A printable version can be found here: Download the PDF

Raspberry-Lemon Icebox Cake from Patricia Heaton's Food for Family and Friends
Patricia Heaton's new cookbook, Patricia Heaton's Food for Family and Friends, is finally on sale, and that calls for a celebration. So cake it is! Today we're sharing her recipe for Raspberry-Lemon Icebox Cake, a dessert that's both decadent and simple to make.
Though Patricia Heaton may be a Hollywood star today, this down-to-earth, practical Midwesterner likes to have fun entertaining her loved ones and has never forgotten her roots. On her Food Network show Patricia Heaton Parties, Patricia celebrates her culinary beginnings, transforming familiar American fare into delicious, sophisticated, lightened versions for entertaining family and friends.

Raspberry-Lemon Icebox Cake
I love gingersnaps. We happily ate them growing up, but Mom never thought to use them in a recipe! This is a pretty, light, and fun dessert, perfect for a summer brunch or ladies' lunch. Makes 8 servings
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ½ pint fresh raspberries
- 24 packaged gingersnaps
1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice and zest. Beat until creamy and well blended. Add the raspberries and use a rubber spatula to smash and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
3. Line a 9 × 3-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides (this will act as a sling to lift out the cake when it's ready to serve).
4. Arrange 8 gingersnaps in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Spread one third of the filling over the cookies. Repeat this process twice with the remaining cookies and cream, making three layers in all.
5. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.

To some, it may sound hyperbolic, but the rise of social media -- in tandem with the rise of the mobile web -- has utterly destroyed the social fabric of the United States. It's altered our behavior, our perspectives on what's culturally relevant and perhaps most importantly, how we choose to view each other as social system cohabitants.
How so, and to what extent, you're likely pondering? Well, here are seven irrefutable examples of the negative impact social media has had on our personal beliefs and behaviors...
In 2013, a trio of generic, gum-smacking blonde girls decided to rush the field during the College World Series. Prior to the stunt, the three posted numerous tweets asking their friends and families to chip in for bail money -- they then proceeded to interrupt the game, all the while holding their smart phones in front of their faces and web-casting their exploits to the world at large through, you guessed it, social media.
For their incredibly juvenile behavior, the self-absorbed, fame-obsessed threesome received heaps of retweets, Facebook postings and Vine tributes. Poetically, they then saw their shameless attention-seeking backfire on them, as scores of Internet haters and creepers ascended upon them like locusts on Egypt.
The advent of social media allows insecure people the constant ability to seek, beg and pander for affirmation and in-group approval. Each like on Facebook and every thumbs up on a YouTube video has become popularity quite literally commoditized, the new currency of a generation that perpetually demands to be told how great, special and unique they are. The ethos of the social media generation? Nothing means more than attention and acknowledgement ... even if it means being arrested in order to garner it.
One could argue that when social media sites like MySpace, YouTube and Twitter began, they were intended for niche, localized communication only. Indeed, that was the precise point of Facebook, whose initial academic e-mail address requirement was built around who wasn't on the service as much as it were the people who actually used it.
With the widespread popularity of such services, social media has most certainly lost its "localized" appeal. And with the entire world essentially serving as one's in-group, it's arguable that Facebook and Twitter can no longer be considered true avenues for interpersonal communication whatsoever.
When an individual posts something on Facebook or Twitter, the intended recipient of said message isn't a single person. Indeed, it's an electronic all-call to the entire planet, designed to garner as much attention and admiration/agreement as possible. Social media users aren't posting to specific people, they're broadcasting to a faceless, nameless culture-at-large -- more or less, the disembodied collective they seek to placate at all times.
Social media communication and actual communication are about as similar as talking to another human being and muttering to a malfunctioning toaster. Sure, there's a message, a channel and a recipient, but through the depersonalization Internet medium, it's almost impossible to gage feedback adequately.
As a communication major, I can tell you firsthand how nuanced the art of discourse is. It's an interpersonal activity that feeds into virtually all of the humanities, and it's an absolute fundamental for all careers -- a skill that, more so than IQ, determines one's success in society. If you don't know how to talk to others, you'll never have a job, find a spouse, be able to purchase a home or even order a meal; in essence, live a normal life.
The problem with social media, obviously, is that it's diminishing our abilities to vocally communicate with others. Texting, e-mails and Twitter posts don't require the same instantaneous feedback that face-to-face communication requires, nor does its really allow people to learn and understand the mechanics of communication, such as tempo, code switching and asking questions. Ours is becoming a culture that's less sociable, and the Internet certainly plays a massive role in that. Not only are we losing our abilities to talk -- to externalize our thoughts and express needs and wants to others -- we're also losing our ability to understand what others are saying. We can't determine what's serious and what's not, what's sincere and what isn't, or even grasp the central content of other people's oratory. Human communication is all about our individual subtleties … and unfortunately, those are almost entirely filtered out in social media interactions.
The wide open public sphere it is, the Internet has allowed a diverse array of opinions and beliefs to flourish in fringe, online communities. The interconnectivity of social media, obviously, has given these nobodies the venue to share their madness/banality with the totality of humanity; subsequently, its all given us the illusion that our personal lives are astoundingly more significant than they actually are.
Bloggers and YouTubers think they have the social impact of mass media conglomerates and legitimate authors and journalists. The nominal connection to the masses Facebook, Twitter and Reddit provide also erroneously goad social media users that they, in some incarnation, are personally linked to media outlets and celebrities. In short, it's given the social media faithful a major delusion that they are indeed broadcasting something worthwhile to the world at large, when really, all they are doing is shouting wholly irrelevant nonsense into virtually insignificant pockets of online space.
By and large, people post things on social media -- from their lunches on Snapchat to political diatribes on Google Plus -- because they want others to think their musings or opinions are important. Hell, the whole reason social media has been the success it is is because global society has become obsessed with in-group approval and mass affirmation. Eventually, these people will come to the conclusion that their online gibberish has been utterly insignificant to the whole of humanity -- and the end dividends, I am afraid, could be rather ugly, indeed.
Something very interesting has happened to SAT scores over the last 10 years. For all the hullabaloo we've heard about U.S. students lacking science and math skills, the overall STEM subject scores have been on an upward trajectory in America for quite some time. Conversely, the nation's verbal test scores have gone down considerably over the same timeframe.
It's apparent that more children and teens have a better grasp of numbers and technology, but at the same time, it's also apparent today's youth are less deft with conversation, the mechanics of written English and, perhaps most troubling, contextual comprehension.
Reading, and understanding content, requires an attention span. To really grasp the context of the written word, you have to focus in on the wording and assess passages as standalone thoughts and ideas and components of larger contexts. Social media communication doesn't result in the same narrative -- indeed, it's just a jumbled mishmash of random thoughts, YouTube videos and GIF images that tell no real story or make any sort of central statements about anything. The mandated brevity of sites like Twitter hasn't made us wittier and more concise -- it's just led to us mashing out banal messages, littered with hash tags and at-symbols, that more closely resemble lines of corrupted computer code than human-typed messages. The term "tl;dr" isn't just a popular Internet maxim ... indeed, it's the culture at large attempting to downplay -- and in some ways, even embrace -- its own cognitive deficits.
The perceived anonymity of the Internet allows users to do and say things they probably would never do in real life. As a result, social media has led to the entire nation developing disassociate personality disorder -- we are no longer just ourselves, but ourselves as real life self and Internet self.
Forget about Gen Y's infatuation with webutations, its today's elementary schoolers who concern me the most. To them, the world wide web is more important than the world itself, their online spaces and communications having far greater weight than their real life environments and interactions. As mobile technologies become more advanced, I imagine an entire generation of youths such as the kid featured in this New York Times story becoming the norm. Consider this a harbinger of an impending culture, utterly dependent on technology, unable to perceive the reality around themselves without a machine doing the interpretation for them. If today's social media obsessed throngs are deindividuated by the web, than Gen Z will be utterly atomized by it.
Another concern is the hive-mindedness social media creates. By design, it rewards populist opinions and ideals (in Facebook-Land, with a common currency, even -- likes), while sites like YouTube and Reddit are more or less dictated by ideologues who flag and vote down everything that doesn't jive with their own convictions. Instead of expressing our own opinions, we find ourselves responding to criticisms and complex input with meme images and infantilized webspeak. The more social media we participate in, the less personal identity we seem to hold onto ... what some call "collective immersion," I would prefer to call "individual suffocation."
Web activism is the ultimate oxymoron; the celebration of inactivity as some kind of legitimate, meaningful personal behavior. We all remember the mass movement, where everybody changed their Facebook profile pic to that of a cartoon character to combat child abuse, right? Well, do you care to take a guess as to how much capital that little cyber-demonstration raised for actual child advocacy groups?
If you guessed "absolutely fucking nothing," you sir/madam/transir/transmadam, would be right on the money. That, in a nutshell, demonstrates everything wrong with social media as cultural movement -- it's highly depersonalized and highly ineffective behavior perceived to be individualized and influential. The reality? All it is is the mere submersion of the self into an amorphous culture, hardly any different from passively watching television or listening to a car radio.The only difference is, social media users think they're doing something by doing nothing, that their online postings constitute some sort of legitimate, valuable commentary. We literally celebrate our own laziness, having convinced ourselves that simply placing a hashtag in front of the political term du jour constitutes a real response to something.
Social media use, effectively, is nothing more than public masturbation, only with a far worse outcome. It's a vehicle for us to spit out our most insignificant thoughts, and a medium whose primary use is quickly transforming from meaningless chatter to more nefarious uses -- stalking, harassing and even facilitating actual crimes, among them. Instead of a social tool, Facebook and Twitter and Snapchat are probably only a few years away from becoming social weapons, online libraries of our worst behaviors visible to anybody with the interest. Today, social media is mostly pointless babble, but tomorrow? Expect it to make all of our lives a real living hell.
Alas, social media appears to be here to stay, I fear. We can't eradicate it, so the best we can hope for is to contain it, keep it in check, and just pray that the worst case scenario -- could you imagine a Target / J.P. Morgan sized breach of all Facebook users? -- doesn't come to pass.
Still, it may be that the absolute worst has already happened, that all that social media irradiation has caused malignant polyps to surface on our communal body now.
And the worst part? Unlike an actual tumor, this is a cancer we can easily share with each other.

Can A Man Offer Specialist Business Coaching
For Female Business Owners In The UK?
Yes He Can – Try Me And I'll Prove It
Are you trying to spin so many different plates at the same time, you're finding it hard to make progress in your business?
Yet you know you must make improvements to your business before it starts impacting badly on your life outside of work.
If that's true, you're what I call "stuck" and you will probably need some help getting unstuck in terms of:
- outside perspective,
- support focusing on your most important goals and
- a combination of encouragement and accountability to keep you on track.
It may seem strange that a man is offering business coaching for women as a speciality. Don't tell the male business owners, I often prefer working with women. Even more important, they normally enjoy working with me.
I know you can't do everything or even many of the things you want to do. Trying to do too much leads to plenty of frustration and often little progress as your efforts are spread too thinly.
I don't have to juggle issues with children but I do have a serious chronic health condition that has forced me to change my approach to business. It's given me more empathy for dealing with problems outside of your control.
Am I the right business coach for you and your business? I don't know, we'd need to talk..
My starting point is through what I call the Business SOS (Second Opinion Session). This gives us a chance to work together on a problem and see if it feels right.
However, if this feels a little intimidating, I'm happy to have an initial "get to know each other" chat provided you're interested in a period of coaching. Email me at email@example.com (just click and it will load into your email server). Just explain that you'd like a chat before the Business SOS with a view to having ongoing coaching.
You will find a lot of information on this website including information about my services:
- One To One Business Coaching
- Business Troubleshooting Session
- 30 Day Business Coaching Boot Camp – for business owners who need intensive help.
- Business Coaching By Email – the lowest cost way business owners can get help from me.
- Business Coaching For Business Owners With Chronic Health Problems
I also have an extensive section for Business Book Reviews.
I have written several very popular business blogs over the last ten years and I'm gradually bringing content across to my main website here.
