Businesses Australia-wide have mounting pressure to ensure that the functional areas of their business are conformant with their internal policies and procedures, whilst also being compliant, meeting all their legislative responsibilities.
As one of the principle trainers of the BSB51615 Diploma of Quality Auditing for HBA Learning Centres nationally, I am constantly asked about our course content and how it is structured. HBA provides specialist in-house training for many national businesses across our scope of qualifications but interest in our BSB51615 Diploma of Quality Auditing has seen a definite spike in enquiry. In their desire for compliance, businesses are becoming aware of the cost of assigning external contract auditors to conduct audits for safety, process or quality without first conducting their own internal audit (due diligence) to improve their business and the contracted audit outcome. Business can see the relevance and subsequent cost savings of having their own qualified in-house auditor.
Additional benefits of an internal auditor include the possession of current knowledge of the workplace policies, procedures and processes. Once trained, the auditor will be able to conduct internal audits to properly prepare for an external auditor to sign off their compliance against a number of Australian; New Zealand or International (ISO) Standards.
Thenrolling their employees into VET Training. At HBA we know the work that goes into completing the BSB51615 Diploma of Quality Auditing and believe it is a beneficial outcome for the company and the learner to achieve a qualification to show currency and validity as the result of that training.
This proves to be a valuable investment in the company’s future, striving for continuous improvement whilst meeting their duty of care by providing regular quality auditing on-site. Demonstrating leadership and management commitment of the company by investing in its human capital; this leads to an improvement in workplace culture, with the outcome being an increase in the retention of quality employees and a safer environment.
Definitely a WIN WIN situation.

With lingering cold air aloft and elevated moisture in the lower levels of the New England sky, clouds will likely outweigh sunshine for many communities today, but a pleasant air will be found regionwide, with highs bouncing to around 70 degrees.
With a small area of high pressure, or fair weather, building in, the wind is noticeably lighter than yesterday, so light, in fact, that a weak sea breeze will develop by late day for our coastal communities.
With a continued light wind and mostly clear sky for awhile overnight Friday night, temperatures will fall into the 40s for many and around 50 south.
A cool early morning Saturday means temperatures will depend heavily on how much sunshine we see in the first part of the day - expected to be limited, but enough to boost temperatures into the 70s before the arrival of thicker clouds and associated showers.
It's somewhat disappointing how much variability still exists in potential start-time of Saturday showers, but the difficulty centers on a disparate arrival of two key features in the atmosphere: energy arrives during the morning and midday, but moisture is still pretty limited at that point in the day and doesn't increase until later.
This leaves the question of where to hang your hat on shower development, but as of this Friday morning post, we're thinking New England needs to wait for moisture to increase before rain develops - meaning a midday development in Western New England, with an expansion of showers east during the afternoon into the late day.
In the image included with this post, you'll see the higher chance of daytime showers west versus east. By evening, many should be seeing showers and some of Western New England will see embedded thunderstorms, expected to come and go into the night Saturday night.
A huge pool of upper level energy and cold air moves over New England on Sunday, and though this usually begets numerous showers and thunderstorms, a sharp northwest wind at the surface will be gusting to 45 mph at times, carrying dry air into the region.
The end result of this combination is likely to be chilly periods of showers in Northern New England with highs near 60, and a milder blend of sun and clouds with some pop-up showers and thunder in Southern New England with highs into the 70s.
Monday brings cool air to start next week - about 7 or 8 degrees below our average high for the date in the upper 70s - then a steady moderation of temperatures through the week with a large area of high pressure likely to keep New England dry from Next weekend looks good, too, with a summer feeling!

- Food Bank Needs More Volunteerssked for extra volunteers this week and next to handle a large shipment of frozen food. Communication coordinator Scott Gordon says the food bank's 8,000 square-foot freezer is packed from floor to ceiling with donated frozen food, and more is on its way. Gordon said vendors this week donated more frozen goods than usual.
More volunteers are needed to help package food so the food bank can distribute it to 132 pantries across Central and Northeast Missouri, and prepare for more donations next week.
Volunteer scheduler Melanie Lake said the food bank normally sees a decrease in volunteers during the first months of the year. However, more than 400 volunteers already offered a helping hand this week alone.

For many years, the library had meters in its parking lot. People who lived far from the Metro stop but worked in D.C. were sometimes known to park at the meters and ride into the city, leaving less space for library visitors and would-be readers. Conveniently for Metro hoppers, the meters with the longest allowable hours were located at the outer edge of the parking lot, closest to the metro stop. Not surprisingly, this parking system created a small controversy with some local residents arguing that the lot should be reserved for library users only, while other county residents claiming that, as taxpayers, they had the right to park on county property without necessarily using the library.
While the county’s final decision was a mandate, it missed an opportunity for a nudge. For instance, the county could have set aside a limited number of spots at the edge of its lots for Metro hoppers or library users. Instead of using the designated parking machine in the lobby, Metro hoppers would have to use a separate machine located at the point on the library’s property furthest away from the set of spaces (an outside location on the other side of the building would be perfect). To keep Metro hoppers honest, library staffers might occasionally announce parking space numbers and fine patrons who did not present their ticket within 30 minutes.
Addendum: If the cost of a new kiosk and parking machine is


The PANDA collaboration at the future FAIR facility at Darmstadt, Germany, will employ antiproton annihilations to investigate yet undiscovered charm-mesons, hybrids and glueballs. To discover such states it is important to build detectors with outstanding performances in terms of particle detection and event selection. This requires developing special front-end electronics and new techniques of digital data treatment. Our group is designing digital read-out electronics for the ElectroMagnetic Calorimeter (EMC), one of the crucial sub-detectors of PANDA experiment.
The PANDA EMC aims to register photons in a very broad range of energies, namely between a few MeV and 15 GeV. In order to achieve such a dynamic range, electronics should be able to efficiently detect pulses of very low amplitude and discriminate them from electronic noise. The analogue signals from the EMC preamplifiers are digitized with a sampling frequency of 80 MHz. These data are being processed in real-time by a FPGA, a dedicated programmable chip with implemented pulse-detection algorithms. The efficiency of pulse-detection should be verified under different conditions. The aim of this project is to perform series of measurements with an EMC prototype and evaluate the performance of the algorithm implemented in hardware.

SINGAPORE - Dust and who knows what else has been accumulating for over 21 years but that didn't deter Ms Birte Koehler and her brush and handheld vacuum cleaner.
Ms Koehler, the senior object conservator at the Heritage Conservation Centre (HCC), was among three experts tasked with cleaning one of the two flight information display flip boards that used to tower over departing passengers at Changi Airport's Terminal 2 (T2).
The boards have had their day. The transition from analogue to electronic was inevitable, given the challenges of maintenance and increasing difficulties in procuring replacement parts.
Even the company that manufactured T2's boards in 1999 has ceased production of their components.
Electronic displays can show far more flight detail than the archaic analogue boards in T2 could, and they take less time and manpower to maintain.
Each analogue board comprises more than 2,000 capsules of individual letters and numbers, towering at 4.5m in height and 15m long.
Their usual role of presenting flight details deviated in 2016 when the flip boards celebrated Joseph Schooling's Olympic victory by displaying his winning time.
If it is of any comfort to travellers, Mr Ang Siew Min, senior vice-president ofd there are plans to "".
About 20 people were involved in de-installing the flip board over the past two weeks.
The pieces are undergoing cleaning and packaging at the Global Specialised Services Warehouse. They will then be transferred to the HCC, which is a part of the National Heritage Board, to join Singapore's National Collection.
Mr Alvin Tan, the National Heritage Board "We believe that (the board) is an important piece of airport infrastructure and a formative feature of the air travel experience.
On the challenges faced by the conservators, Mr Tan said the process is quite time-consuming, as there are more than 2,000 components to be cleaned.
A single module takes two to five minutes to be thoroughly cleaned.
Ms Koehler said the repetitive process of cleaning the modules in a similar fashion over an extended period allows her to get into a quiet rhythm: "It becomes a meditative process; you tune in with the pieces that you are working on."
The entire process is estimated to take six months.


The mountain villas in Karpenisi is a residential complex consisting of two two-storey houses. Located on a steep slope with dense vegetation, they enjoy an impressive view to the horizon. The design concept aims to accomplish the harmonious integration of the villas complex into the unique surrounding. Moreover, the design treats the view as key factor for the development of the individual spaces of the complex.
Natural building materials achieve to integrate the villas complex into the natural landscape. Furthermore, they create harder or smoother “boundaries”. These are defined according to the desired sense of privacy or openness. In this way, the proper use of materials (stone / wood) play a significant role.
At the same time, the particular form of the prismatic roofs has a strong concept. It seeks both to converse with the mountain that surrounds the complex and to induct the topography into the inner space. In fact, there is the attempt to approach the concept of a “mountain-house” rather than the typical “house on the mountains”.

WhaSci Marketing, Philosophy, and Public Health. Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also highlights the tensions and challenges arising from these interlinkages, and traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the 21st century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions for heightening patient voices and broadening participation in healthcare markets in a post Covid-19 world.

The model shown here is of Phase One and shows the proposed changes (roads, lots, parks, etc.) and also has various color coded massing models. Roadnames are identified with custom dry transfers. New phases will nestle onto the surface like jigsaw pieces, and eventually cover the aerial context.
This is a 1:300Because of the small scale and the large number of buildings, it was cost prohibitive to render the model elevations in layers as we would in a larger scale. Instead we made the buildings as solid painted massings, and then applied the doors and windows as color “dry transfer” graphics.
This is a 1:500 scale presentation topographic model designed for use in a sales center. It shows roads, lakes, and a golf course. Lots are color coded, and pins and string are used to show the actual lotlines, which allows for easy changes in the future (if required).
This is a presentation contour model at a scale of 1:3000. It is about 10’ by 10’ and is built in four sections for ease of handling. It shows the context and details of a very large resort site.
This is a presentation contour model, at a scale of 1:1250, that shows the use of a particular technique we often suggest to our clients to show heavily treed areas on a model surface. We call it a “punched tree technique”. The way it works is that prior to cutting the contours into our foam blank, we map in the forest areas, and leave the foam there at a higher level. Then a texture that represents the treetops is punched into that surface using a custom tool. We use individual tree models to help to “soften” the hard edge of the tree blocks.
We think this strategy can be much more effective than using thousands of individual model trees which can be too visually busy, and divert attention away from the model’s focus.
This is a 1:15s built-in light table under the surface and has a “light pipe” in each lot. As lots are sold a sticker is removed and a translucent cast model home is placed over the light pipe. The cast models are in different color codes to represent different housing types. </s> ← That Esther McVey Hillsborough tweet. Who or what was behind it?

AMBER ARGYLE is the last of TTFOS, for real this time. She's giving an exclusive peek at a deleted scene from her upcoming novel, WITCH SONG, which releases on September 1st. Read on, and enjoy!
Joshen's father took a long, drawn out breath. "Son, I need to tell you about the Witch War."
Joshen's forehead creased with confusion. "I know all about it."
"That's what started the war. A group of the witches broke away from the main group. Called themselves Espen's Servants. They wanted to sell their songs for money and power. But the other witches, the Sisters, believed everyone had the right to their songs. Each witch took a side."
"Many, many witches died." Wittin's voice caught, and Joshen looked at his father in surprise. Emotion wasn't something he showed. "When the Servants started loosing, their leader, Espen, began . . . murdering the Sister's and their families. Eventually, the Sisters managed to defeat the Servants. But they never found Espen. They never stopped looking, but everyone they sent to capture her disappeared. And there were other . . . disappearances. Until all the remaining witches were forced into hiding."
He shook his head, a look of immense sadness in his eyes. "We knew it was bad, but, after seeing Senna . . . My guess is she might be the only witch left."
A hard knot of unease tightened in Joshen's stomach. "And the two men who are chasing Senna?"
His father gave a helpless shrug. "Witch Hunters—a division of Espen's Servants.'"
Wittin rolled up his shirt sleeve, revealing the familiar green tattoo that was about the size and shape of a round pebble. "But Espen isn't the only one with helpers. They mark us as a Guardian when we've proven ourselves worthy." He ran his fingertips across the mark. "I was marked long ago, but then Espen snapped my leg and I couldn't be much help."
"I thought you got bucked off a horse!
His father smiled as he tugged his sleeve down. "Nope."
Joshen gazed in the direction Senna had gone. "Why are we the only ones helping the Witches?"
"The people are no friends of witches, son. Most don't believe in any of this. Those that do blame the witches for every flood or early frost we've ever had. They don't realize that handling the seasons is more like controlling a half wild colt than ordering a side of beef from a butcher."
Joshen thought of the girl he'd met earlier. Her wide golden eyes full of fear, like a hunted animal. She couldn't face this alone. "I have to go after her," Joshen finally said. "Whether she wants my help or not."
Wittin nodded. "I know."
Courtesy of Amber, I have one ARC of WITCH SONG to giveaway!And, yes, it does come with the gorgeous cover. <3 For an extra entry, tell me wha?Would you rush off like Joshen to save it?

Now, they've said that the open beta will mostly be for people that would like to try out the game before it's released (much like a demo) and that the release should follow shortly after (this is their own words so we can assume that it's valid).
The only question is, when will the open beta start?

Of course green insulation does imply that the installation is older and if the insulation is deteriorating, then of course it may be unsafe for this reason. Remember do not be duped by unscrupulous individuals into having a whole load of work done just because of non-compliance with regulations - the work must be justified on the basis of safety. Defining a level of risk in terms of safety is not an exact science, however, the electrician should be able to categorise his findings from 1 to 4, 1 being a critical safety issue to 4 being non-compliant, but not necessarily a safety issue.
National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers. This is an organisation operating in the interests of both consumers and electricians. To gain registration is not just a matter of paying your fee and getting a rubber stamp. The NAPIT is very strict and if you do not comply with their stringent requirements, you will not be registered
They carry out an annual inspection of every organisation enrolled with them. There are five organisations with whom electricians can enrol. These are NICEIC, NAPIT, BRE certification Ltd, Elecsa Ltd. Anyone considering engaging the services of an electrician, would be extremely unwise to use an electrician who is not enrolled with one of these organisations. You can visit their websites and get a list of enrolled electricians in your area.
If electricians wish to do more than the very simplest of jobs without having to inform the local authority building control in advance and then getting a Part P registered electrician to certify their work on completion, then they must themselves be registered under Part P - Electrical Safety of the Building Regulations which came into force in January 2005.
There are 5 bodies permitted by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to accredit persons/organisations as 'competent persons under Part P of the building regulations, see NAPIT above.
The current wiring regulations
The Current wiring regulations are BS7671:2001 amended to March 2004 Requirements for Electrical Installations. IEE wiring regulations sixteenth edition.
Full periodic inspection and test
A standard set of tests defined in the wiring regulations (BS7671) as a process 'to determine, so far as is reasonably practicable, whether the installation is in a satisfactory condition for continued service'.
Essentially this involves assessing the extent to which the installation complies with the current wiring regulations and assessing the level of risk in terms of safety, where the installation is found not to comply. See definition of 'Full Electrical Survey' above.

Think of it as a Mr. Magoo reference and you'll be all good.
I love Bugs Bunny, my siblings used to call me Bugs Bunny when we were younger, can't remember if they were making fun of my teeth or that I loved carrots!
I'd forgotten how good Bugsy was - and how cleverly written. This particular one got me wondering on the origins of the flying carpet. Hmmm. May actually see what I can find on the subject. Thanks.
You've really got to love the web. That Looney Tunes cartoon sent me way back in time. I loved it.
Here's a weird tidbit: I never really liked Bugs Bunny (ducks).
But I quite enjoyed this post.
Sistertex: Ha! Yes, they DO bring back memories... every Saturday they used to play at 5 pm. I remember sitting in front of our console TV to watch.
PG: Yep, I actually HAD an old green metallic reel to reel projector. One of the shows it had was Mr Magoo. I haven't seen that in a very long time. A long time indeed.
Ha! Exactly Angelguided! That is the secret I believe... we HAVE to laugh at ourselves; before anyone else has a chance ;)
:D I am glad Swubird! Yes, a simpler time, wasn't it?
Ca88andra: Yeah, I think as we get older we can see the inside jokes much easier than just laughing at the slapstick!
The universe is seriously twisted, I've always thought so. Then again, it would be much more boring if it wasn.t
I can't tell you how many Saturday mornings I got up with the anticipation of watching the "good" cartoons, which included Bugs Bunny. I remember that video very well.
I watched Bugs all the time as a kid. Love the memory! Great post Maureen.
Ha! See, if you're patient enough, everything does come to you!
Freaky!! Now, please visualize me winning the lottery.
This is true, ChooChoo.... this is too true. (Wow, that rhymed without me even trying)
The "Every" Man: Oh yeah... many a Saturday morning (and when I was a tad older, Saturday evenings) weren't complete without Bugs.
Thanks JennyMac!
After MOI, of course Momo. After Moi.
Things like that happen all the time to me. I'll be thinking of a song I want to hear and turn on the radio and it comes on next. Or I'll think of someone I haven't talked to in a really long time and they'll call or email. Those little "coincidences" really freak me out at times.

The culture is changing in today's companies. Once siloed, stakeholders now work more closely with UX designers, researchers, and engineers to bring products to life. These diverse roles intersect with the user experience. UX teams make design thinking a crucial part of the business's bottom line and growth.
When I first started working in design, user experience design wasn't a thing. There were web designers and graphic designers— but UX wasn't a job title until the late 2000s. Now, UX designers function as a bridge between business needs, product development needs, engineer needs, and the end customer needs. But this discipline is about more than just making products pretty. It's also about delivering value to the people who use that product and negotiating with everyone within the business to craft an experience that customers will want and advocate for.
For me, the UX role emerged from my experience working with data tools like Google Analytics. This tool gave me insight into how assets designed for the web were performing for the business goals and measure usability satisfaction from target customers. In short, I focused my designs on motivating target customers to convert for the business. Today's UX role is a confluence of functions that relies on user data, market research, psychology, visual design, web design, graphic design, and UI design. UX design aligns the goals, vision, and workflows of different stakeholders to create an experience that meets everyone's needs.
Design thinking should be part of business decision-making from the start because of design's crucial role in uniting these stakeholders and delivering a finished product.
Design takes something that is essentially abstract and makes it real. Design principles can guide manufacturing a product like a car or designing a survey, or creating an art installation experience.
Today, user experience fits under the design umbrella and is typically associated with the tech space and digital products. Depending on who you ask, UX even can be refined into more specific segments, like customer experience and service experience.
As consumer preferences have evolved, the brand experience and the product experience often join together in the consumer's mind. We don't say tissue; we say Kleenex. We don't say 'go search for it'; we say 'Google it.' We have coffee tribes that will fight and defend their brand of choice simply because of the end-to-end experience. UX design has played an increasingly central role in response to this shift. A poorly designed product experience can sink a brand, whereas a strong product experience can drive revenue growth and brand equity.
User-centric design is now so essential to business objectives that scholars have created models to categorize its effectiveness within organizations.
Level One: UX Unaware - An organization is disengaged from UX design, or UX design is confused with visual design.
Level Two: Ad Hoc UX - Usually introduced to an organization through an executive that attends a conference or seminar and stirs organizational curiosity.
Level Three: Project UX - UX design is used strategically, and the organization has created the infrastructure to support it.
Level Four: Organizational UX - The organization uses UX design principles to develop strategies concerning people and processes.
Level Five: Strategy UX - UX design is used to plan an organization's future, leading to increased agility and rapid learning.
Level Six: UX Culture - UX design becomes part of the organization's very fabric and breeds a culture invested in experience - from the company to the customer.
As an organization advances its UX maturity, it can create more impactful user experiences and accelerate adoption. The company becomes increasingly invested in their products' full cycle as user insights provide useful information and help steer decisions. In short, people and their experience become the focus.
Design thinking is a framework built around solving problems for people. To do this, designers follow a non-linear process of empathizing with the user, defining the user's problem, ideating, prototyping, testing. This is then followed by repeating the process until the experience is defined to address various use cases and tasks for the end-user. By deploying design thinking, designers can ensure that end-user needs are considered from the outset. With user-focused designs, teams can reduc the adoption rate.
They need to empathize with the pain points in their teams' workflows.
They need to define the problem.
They must get feedback through prototype tests.
They repeat the process to iterate to an experience that users will adopt.
Using this framework, leaders can better articulate the need for IT procurements. For example, they may realize the need to drive shared accountability, synchronize workflows, decrease time to market, and boost access to customers' products and services.
By adopting a cloud solution designed with UX methodologies and principles, teams are empowered to build human-centric products. Cloud dashboards drive a common visual language experience shared between finance, engineers, product managers, and leadership. The dashboard experience will provide visibility across formerly siloed operations. With silos broken down, IT leaders and decision-makers can easily streamline goals to get everyone working towards the same result. They are also better able to correlate investment to actions and results to judge whether they meet the objectives and achieve an ROI.
Cloud service development teams who report to a CTO or CIO need to demonstrate that the UX- methodologies and processes are worth the investment. When a human-centered design approach is adopted, the UX team is better positioned to help the development team achieve its goals. UX designers can ensure that business objectives come to life in products that people want, and crucially, products that people will want to use.
Buy-in from senior management is necessary to reap the benefits of UX-focused development and design. Understanding UX, learning its value, and analyzing their organization's UX maturity rate can bring CTOs immeasurable gains. Integrating UX-centric practices is a necessary process, but with the support of leadership, organizations can introduce training and experiments to pave the way for UX methodologies.
To illustrate a human-centered design approach to development, we can look at how technical leaders, UX practitioners, and developers address a common business need.
Is the website's search experience technically optimized?
When leadership encourages this type of design-centric approach, there is massive potential for dev teams and UX design teams to work together so that the user experience and the product's functionality meet the same goals.
I've always had a bit of a fixation with dashboards. When done right, software dashboards capture data insights for the various overlapping processes contributing to business objectives. They remain a vital tool for companies pursuing user-centric practices. In my opinion, dashboards deserve more credit than they tend to receive - they could even use a revamp.
Because their purpose is to present information, dashboards tend to be cluttered and display more details than one might need. Psychologists William Edmund Hick and Ray Hyman's distraction analysis solidified the need for simplistic displays to make decision-making easier for users. In the context of user experience, too much information can lead to confusion or frustration, and ultimately navigating away from a page.
By using design thinking, developers and creatives can implement a simplified dashboard designed for human role-based needs. The dashboard should summarize the data points that are important to individual roles within an organization. Activities and actions can then steer users in the right direction for a smooth experience. With advances in AI and machine learning, dashboards can present information in a storytelling model that unifies people's activities and expectations across an organization.
Leaders, engineers, and finance officers have different motivations and decisions to make. Each will look at data through the lens of their roles and objectives. Using UX methodologies in decision-making, leaders gain the ability to bring together different motivations, job functions, and data points that, traditionally, have not been considered side-by-side.
When it comes to cloud transformation, UX designers can create more usable systems that facilitate individuals and teams working in alignment with the same goals.
With cloud-powered transparency and access to information, engineer teams have the opportunity to see their cost contributions to the organization in real-time. Finance managers can then see the input cost to produce with demand, and product managers can track product performance and plan for future features that will go into a product.
With this kind of information on hand, decisions can be made in minutes instead of months, making companies more agile and competitive.
Companies that want to innovate and grow will always face the risk of business disruption and barriers to adoption. I think engaging UX designers and adopting design thinking from the outset builds human-focused products that produce impactful experiences.

You put all that time and effort in, but every now and then the market is looking to kick your butt.
So, for all those out there suffering from broken hearts trading accounts this Valentine’s day, I thought I’d share some quick tips that may help to ease the pain of drawdowns.
“When I’m in a drawdown or losing money faster or more than I think is warranted, I think this is the best rule. It’s really the only rule that is always going to work when you’re losing money. Trade smaller if you’re down 10% and that’s a drawdown that you’re not happy with in the circumstances, then, reduce your position by 20%.
“I’m always looking at the performance data of all these top traders. There is a few websites that you can get the performance data.
And I’m looking at the journeys that they have travelled over the last 20, 30, 40 years, and the whole idea of understanding these journeys is that if it happens for these guys, it’s going to happen for me. The more I can understand what they’ve been through, how they’ve kept their head down and keep pushing forward, it gives me faith that well, what I’m doing is right, all I’ve got to do is keep on doing it.
Don’t focus on the short-term results, consider the long-term horizon.
“I would say the most important thing is to embrace the systematic approach and really believe that you don’t know where the markets are going.


Let's drink the good stuff and let's m"good stuff" – in our case it was very easy… we stock and recommend what we like to drink ourselves!
Be it 10 years old or 40 years old, if our resident Whisky Ambassador, Kam, likes it, we stock it. Kam has been an avid whisky consumer for over 30 years and has tasted an extensive selection of both single malts and blended whiskies from around the world and the goal has always been to share this passion and introduce these "dream drams" to all those around us. As for the price, we made a conscious decision to move a little out of Central and a little away from the main road, and then up a few floors, in an old building – why? Low rents equal low cost and what we save, you save!
Dram Good Stuff also offers curation services for Private VIP Collections as well as wholesale prices for large scale ballroom events or private parties and corporate tastings. It would, of course, be impossible to stock everything so if there is a bottle that's missing from your collection, we would be happy to use our global resources to find that something special for you or find a specific vintage to commemorate a milestone birthday or anniversary. Drop by and share a dram with us … it's the good stuff!

In memory of a softball legend and a longtime good friend
Tom spent most of his working days at the Santa Fe Railroad and was known by all his co-workers as Tommy Joe. I think Tom is one of the friendliest people I ever knew. Whenever you would meet him on the street or at a ball game he was always really friendly and he had that Tommy Joe smile.
Ironically, I didn’t first meet Tom in sports, rather it was in my basement where Tom and his father-in- law, Tom Chamberlain, were doing some emergency plumbing for me. Tommy Joe was probably better known in Kansas City, Kan., with his involvement in fast-pitch softball, umpiring, and as a player for his Santa Fe Railroad softball team.
Tom had one of the better dispositions of anyone I have ever known, in and out of sports. When a coach would get on his case for a call Tom would just walk over and put his arm around the coach’s neck and within a few minutes would have the coach smiling. He was a very good umpire and was consistent in calling strikes.
Baseball ran in his family and Tom was a highly competitive player and a tremendous hitter. He played third base on defense and fearlessly played his position about halfway between third and home. Despite putting his teeth in danger, I never saw him get hit while playing so close.
Tom over the years had a very supportive wife, Lainey, who followed him around to all their tournaments. I remember one time Tom called me and said he needed a ball-and-strike umpire for a Santa Fe doubleheader with a strong team that was the Topeka Hornets. Anyone who knew Tom knew how persuasive he could be and I told him, “Tom the only umpiring in softball I have done was a WyCo for 9- and10-year-old girls and I have never called a men’s game.” So, I ended up agreeing to call the doubleheader at Lions Park and I don’t know why I ever agreed to do this but it was game time and the home team Santa Fe batted first. The Hornets had a pitcher about 6-foot-5, and on his first pitch of the game I made no signal on the call. The catcher looked up at me grinning and asked what the call was. I replied, the call I didn’t make because I didn’t even see the ball. I asked the catcher if it was a strike he said yes so I called strike one. I had seen fast-pitch softball many times but never standing behind a catcher. This Hornet pitcher was tall and lean and threw nothing but smoke. It was a good bunch of guys and they didn’t raze me too much, but after a few endings I did begin to see the ball. I don’t remember how Tom’s team came out but they were good games.
Tommy Joe was very hyper but was one of the friendliest people I ever knew. The employees at the Santa Fe Railroad all loved the guy and he has been missed very much at the railroad. I would like to extend my condolences to Lainey and all of Tom’s relatives he has left behind. I have never talked to anyone who didn’t like Tommy Joe. Heaven will be getting a good man and I just hope they have fast-pitch softball up there or, if not, will soon have it with Tom’s presence.

“They broke into Baba Amr!”—after a month of the Syrian government’s shelling, siege, and continuous attempts to invade Homs, this was expected. And yet, the sentence left me paralyzed with fear and anger. They broke into Baba Amr—a fact as final and perplexing as death.
Samira laughed sadly as she remembered how they had left their neighborhood. She and her three children were stuck in their house in Inshaeet under heavy shelling. Tanks pushed into their street, crushing the cars.
On Friday, Samira left me a message saying that a neighbor who is still in Inshaeet rang her on the landline to say that army troops had broken into some of the empty apartment buildings and looted them. “My house seems to be fine,” she said, “but I hope after all the shelling, the death, and now the triumphant looting no one tells me I should not defend myself, I have absolutely nothing left in common with these people!”
“This is the worst we have ever seen,” Marie Colvin reportedly told Lindsey Hilsum, of Britain’s Channel 4, a day before she was killed, by government shelling in Homs. “And they’re getting away with it.”

Have read "Back from Africa" from Corinne Hofmann, where she describes a fabolous book about a woman who travels around nepal and other places in a bike?
Anyone heard about this book?
Josie Dew writes travelogues (sp?) about biking around places.
It sounds most like "Wind in my Wheels" ( http://www.amazon.com/Wind-My-Wheels-... ) which includes Nepal.
It might well be a reference to Dervla Murphy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervla_M...), who has cycled in most past of the world, and who was writing travel books long, long before the concept of the 'gap year' and travel writing became fashionable.
She has written a large number of books, one of which covered a journey in Nepal.
Or Barbara Savage's book about biking around the world: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34...
Haven't read it, so I'm not sure if she goes to Nepal.
I don't actually have this so I'm not sure if there is a bike, but Forbidden Journey.
Seems like this should be in Abandoned, rather than Possibly Solved, since the op never came back to comment on the suggestions.

In the last few years, the questions on Numbers in all the MBA exams has been of easy to moderate level of difficulty. An aspirant should see Numbers as a crucial topic which when clubbed with either Arithmetic or Algebra is more than enough to fetch you a 99+%Ile. For CAT, doing this topic well will boost your performance in the quant section as 15-21 marks can easily be pocketed from Numbers itself. These marks would add on to the marks you dig out from Arithmetic and Algebra.
Why take Basic Number System Test?
Take the free basic-level Number System tests and warm up to the topic. Roughly 2-3 questions in the Quant section of CAT, XAT and SNAP are from the basic level of Number Systems.Take the practice tests to ensure that you are able to answer all questions of this level.
Why take Advanced Number System Test?
As you move onto the advanced level and take the practice tests you should start getting a strong hold on the topic. As 2-3 questions in Quant section of CAT and 3-4 questions in SNAP maybe fromthe advanced level of Number System, make sure you get enough practice to add maximum marks from this topic to your CAT score.
Why take Expert Number System Test?
Basic and advance level tests should have given you much confidence by now to take the expert-level tests.Build your ironclad strategy for the topic by taking the practice tests such that you are able to answer 1-2 questions that come from this level in the CAT exam.
Weightage of Number System in different MBA entrance exams
The raw score required in QA for a 99%ile in the last three instalments of CAT has been tabulated below
As mentioned, Numbers need to be clubbed with either Arithmetic or Algebra for a scintillating performance. A student should find out his magic combination i.e. either Algebra & Numbers or Arithmetic and Numbers which can easily get him a 99%ile in QA.

Here Lies Earth 2. Move Along, Nothing to See.
In this story two men die while one out runs a tidal wave. One death is noble and perhaps meaningful. The other is noble and pointless. And the tidal wave is not much connected to anything.
In this issue, the characters of Earth 2: World’s End struggle up from the nadir of the last segment to roar against their fate. The poem tellsthe people of Earth 2 rage aplenty, here. It isn’t very well-written, and one doubts it will cohere into an understandable whole. Perhaps the death of worlds isn’t supposed to be understandable or coherent. But stories, post-modernist theories notwithstanding, should be both.
In this issue the essential futility of the avatars of Earth becomes clear as the Lovecraftian avatar of the Blue falls with one shot, while the avatar of the Red, revealed to be Yolanda Montez, has become a servant of Apokalips. The first is silly, given the build-up the blue avatar received only a few issues ago. The second makes no sense at all, given that Yolanda has never been properly introduced into the New 52.
Meanwhile, Yolanda’s traditional godfather, Ted Grant, is the man who out runs the tidal wave, carrying a comatose Dick Grayson on his shoulder. Amir Khan, leader of the World Army, falls in a futile attempt to attack Darkseid. And the Earth 2 Atom gives up is life in a noble gesture to prepare a place of refuge for the masses of the dying world.
The last provides some redemption for title badly in need of it. If ever there was a comic that illustrated the filth and banality of evil, this is it. If ever there was a story about the wretchedness of defeat and destruction, this fits the description.
But it is hard to see that the disjointed storytelling is leading anywhere save, as solicits have warned us, defeat. In my last review, I said that realism is sometimes the greatest sin of comic books. I will retract that statement. Realism, on second thought, often works very well indeed in comics. It is boredom that kills. Dull stories, whether real or fake, cannot be redeemed by powerful art, and still less by the kind of mixed, disjointed art used in World’s End, where each issue is tortured by numerous writers, pencillers, and inkers.
Yes, the Atom gives up his life to save the people of this world. But will it matter? Does it connect to anything in this story or beyond it? That isn’t clear, and thus it is hard to care. Ted Grant seizes Dick Grayson and out runs a tidal wave in a feat of great prowess and heroism. But does it matter? Why should we care if these two live or die? Even if we care, does the story care?
And that is the perhaps the most fitting epitaph for this narrative. A world died here. You probably shouldn’t worry about it.
This isn't a sad, tiresome issue like the last. It even has glimmers of heroism and nobility. But if not sad and tired, it may well be futile.


Neive owes its name to an illustrious, noble Roman family, "Gens Naevia", or "Naevii", established there in ancient times.
During the same period, the monastery of Santa Maria del Piano was built in the valley below the town; over time it grew powerful, acquiring vast estates.
In the 11th century and again in the 13th, Neive was carved up among various local nobles, most notably the De Revello family, and went on to become a municipality in 1190.
Because of its position equidistant from both Alba and Asti, Neive was often the site of confrontations between the two towns and in 1274 the old castle was destroyed in a battle between them, along with others in the vicinity.
In 1618 Neive became a fief and was awarded to Count Vittorio Amedeo Dal Pozzo, who styled himself as first Count of Neive.
Around the historical ricetto, (small fortified area in Italian villages for protection of the residents in case of attack) grew a small community of noble and wealthy families, giving Neive its title of “pajs dj Sgnuret” (town of nobles).
The village was encircled by walls with just two openings, the San Rocco and San Sebastiano gates, allowing it to bar entry to local farmers and herders.
By the 18th century, as Napoleonic troops crossed lower Neive, it seems that only a single farm and a mill existed, close to the river.
This is now called the “Borgonuovo” part of Neive, developed more recentlsituated close to the railway line built to link Neive with Asti, Alessandria, Alba and Cuneo, and put Turin, Milan and Genoa within easy reach for delivering the area’s products to market.
Transport gave a foothold to small businesses, artisans and wine producers bringing Neive the worldwide renown it still enjoys today.

Child Health Program - Programs
ChildrenPMRS believes that in order to reach this standard, health must be viewed in a holistic, comprehensive manner, which includes all facets of child well-being. Child development is multidimensionaldimensions and child well being exists when a child is able to realize his or her potential and vise versa. Child health reflects more than physical well being, it also necessarily includes mental and social health.
During Al Aqsa Intifada, about 689 Palestinian students aged less than 18 years[1] were killed. That number is equivalent to about 25 education classes and this almost like killing students of a whole school.
Nutritional status Nutrition is very crucial for health and especially for child health. The separation of families from their lands and water recourses as a result of the construction of the Wall, loss of jobs and increased level of unemployment have lead to increased rates of both poverty and malnutrition.
According to UNICEF,[4] 37.9% of Palestinian children under five suffered from iron deficiency anemia, about 3.5% children were underweight, about 2.5% children suffered from wasting and about 9% suffered from stunting.
Number one cause of death among infants is congenital abnormalities.[5] One can predict that these cases will increase in result of the increase in the number of isolated areas, thus increasing consanguineous marriage. Therefore, screening and prevention activities will become more crucial.
Palestine is in the stage of epidemiological transition, where a disease profile of children characteristic to underdevelopment (diarrhea, respiratory diseases and malnutrition) is combined with concerns more typical for developed countries, such as accidents, psychological problems, abuse and neglect. For instance, diarrhearefugee camps in particular, due to poor environmental conditions. Continuous Education
The Israeli army and settlers continue tol being of Palestinians, often threatening their lives. What is unique in the Palestinian case is the continuity of trauma, which is not due to a natural disaster but a manmade one.
A major dimension of the situation in previous years is the continuation of the constructions of the Wall on the Palestinian land, separating people from their lands and children from their schools. To date, about 16 villages are totally isolated and other 50 villages will be separated from their lands.[6]
Promoting better child health care. Creating child- friendly environments. Improving community awareness. Ensuring holistic approach to child care.
The Target Group: The target group is children from ages 0-18 (with a special emphasis on children under five) with specific services for each age group. Health workers: the program is targeting doctors, community health workers and counselors to improve their capacity and skills in child health care.
Parents and families in the target communities.
Promoting better child health care
In this program, PMRS has built up a model for quality child health care in Palestine. This is of special importance because of the bad socio-economic situation and.
The file is filled out by health workers and doctors previously trained on filling out such files which will help in child development monitoring and early disability detection.
These files contain general information and data on the child such as family information, the family medical history, the mother's pregnancy date, and other information related to child growth and mental and physical development, nutrition, regular medical checks, vaccines, medical transfers, and blood tests.
The Well baby file was developed an idea to design a Palestine information system through which it will be possible to obtain different medical indicators for children since birth up to 5 years of old.
PMRS is providing psychosocial health services in five areas (Ramallah, Jerusalem, Jenin, Qalqilya and Tulkarem, and Gaza). Main activities include individual counseling (for mothers, children and adolescents), group counseling, debriefing and support to the staff, and health education sessions.
Creating a child friendly environment
Child friendly spaces was created within PMRS clinics and centers. These clinics maintaned a special room and special equipment for children. In these rooms, children can interact, play and express themselves with the presence of their parents and the staff. It also provides a good opportunity for both parents and health staff to discuss issues related to child health and development and sometimes to raise general issues and concerns.
Discussions with the women’s groups in the communities. Health sessions in the clinics, schools, kindergartens. The d The distribution of health massages through the TV spots. Health campaigns: breastfeeding and child nutrition. The international day activities
Gaza, Um Nasser clinic, drawing contest
The school health program is now an integrated part of the program. The reason to this is that the child health program according to the plan involves children up to the age of 18. The older children get their health checked at school and therefore it is natural that the school health is an integrated part of the child health program. • Cooperation covered the following aspects:
• Health education program:
o Organization of health education sessions
o Postnatal home visits to examine postpartum mothers and newborns
o Referral of children needing rehabilitation services to the CBR and receiving referrals of children in need for medical services.
o Joint activities: summer camps, home visits.
• School of community health:
o Planning for the child health related training.

It is possible for this trait to follow a child into the teenage years, and on occasion into adulthood. To complicate matters, as people grow older, they face complex frustrations that require delicate diplomacy. And they hit…
My father used to talk about families that love to fight. He used to say, "If they don't have a reason to fight, they will make up one." I tend to think a "striker" has this philosophy. Given enough time, and a few unresolved conflicts, he will find himself in the middle of a ruckus. And when other members of the church family see how he handles conflict, they will follow his example. After all, why should people ask for God to help them navigate a problem when they can just put a fist through it?


the reason we can't "get people to listen to us" or "get that phrase in use" is not about framing, it's about media control.
Also, who are you trying to reach. The stupider and more pointless communication becomes, more of the informed voters tune out, give up on messaging that isn't speaking to them at all.

In October, 2021 the Mayne Island Conservancy Board of Directors approved a policy regarding overabundant deer on Mayne Island and sent a letter to key government representatives.
On August 15 of this year, the Conservancy held its annual general meeting in Miners’ Bay Park. Here are the highlights.
I was sitting in bed having my coffee just as dawn was breaking when a large, dark object landed on the railing of the deck. Lo and behold a magnificent barred owl was perched there. Oh to be so close! Be still my heart. I was mesmerized.
It quietly surveyed its kingdom, head maneuvering from front to back, side to side when all of a sudden a hummingbird swooshed out of nowhere and was obviously not pleased with this creature possibly competing for its pineapple salvia red flowers. The one-inch bomber flew back and forth an inch in front of the owl’s face and at one point hovered right between the owl’s eyes. I wonder if the owl even knew it was there because, incredibly, it didn’t flinch. The hummingbird finally gave up and flew off.
The two of us were calmly surveying all there was to see when the owl’s head and eyes whipped to the deck. There before us was a rat running across the deck beside the house wall and heading for the ramp that would take it down to the grass. Excitement welled up only to be squashed. What did the bird do? Watched it intently until it was out of sight then casually returned to surveying its kingdom. Heaven help me!
That was the start to my day.

While the beneficial effect of exercise on diabetes has been well established, its effect specifically on painful DPNeffect of aerobic exercise on pain in DPN. Methods: Twelve Sedentary individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus between ages 40-70 with clinical diagnosis of DPN were enrolled in a 16-week, 3X week supervised aerobic exercise program. Brief Pain Inventory-Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (BPI-DPN) was used to assess pain intensity (worst, least, average, now) and pain interference with daily life (activity, mood, walk, normal work, relationship, sleep, enjoyment of life) pre and post the intervention. BMI, maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and blood pressure were also measured pre and post the intervention as secondary outcomes of interest. Results: 10 of 12 (83.3%) (5 males/5 females; age 57 ± 4.59 years; duration of diabetes 12.2 ± 5.94 years) participants reported pain due to DPN on the BPI-DPN and were included in the analysis. In these participants, significant reductions in pain interference on walking (4.95±2.83pre/2.8±2.74post, 0.0073), normal work (5.3±3.16pre/3.5±3.06post, P=0.0478), relationship with others (3.55±3.62pre/1±1.15post, P=0.0264), and sleep (5.05±2.77pre/3.2±3.12post, P=0.0407) were observed following the intervention. The overall pain interference was also reduced (4.50±2.48pre/2.56±2.01post, P=0.0267). However, there was no change in pain intensity scores. VO2max showed a significant increase post-intervention, while BMI, HbA1c, and blood pressure remained unchanged. Conclusion: These preliminary results show reductions in perceived pain interference in people with painful DPN following an aerobic exercise intervention, without a change in pain intensity. .


2. Non-toxic, antibacterial, suitable for outdoor camping and travel, this titanium cup is also very suitable for picnics, emergency preparations and home, school and office.
4. The round bottom is easy to clean and improves the heating efficiency. The handle is folded flat for smooth storage.
Permanent deflection, or plastic deformation as it is also known, is much higher in Titanium than other materials and accounts for its fabled ‘spring’. This is why Titanium is so much more comfortable than other materials.
The inherent flexibility and high tensile strength of Titanium allows the energy stresses of regular use to be effectively dissipated without degradation of the material, ensuring Titanium bowls stay stronger for longer.
The high tensile, or ultimate, strength and low elastic modulus of Titanium combine to create unparalleled impact resistance, meaning Titanium can soak up much harder punishment than other materials.

The tensile strength to density ratio for Titanium outstrips every other metal. Simply put, Titanium will be twice as strong as steel and three times as strong as aluminium.


to be honest, it's not exactly my first effort (call it my third attempt, maybe -- not counting old UT99 maps!

The name Bill Mumy might be familiar to you. Perhaps you remember him as Will Robinson on Lost In Space. Or perhaps you think of his Babylon 5 character. Well, did you know that he's also a successful musician? This is his latest disc and it shows a definite talent for songcraft and performance. There's not a weak tune on show and the variety from piece to piece keeps it from becoming at all redundant.
Old school rock and roll textures make up this smoking cut. This has a really bleak view of the modern world and some lyrics that get a parental advisory warning.
The format isn't drastically different here, but this track doesn't feel redundant, but rather fresh and vibrant.
The leanings aren't precisely the same here, but this is a solid roots rock number.
Here is a mellower song that's quite stirring.
Mellow, intricate and very pretty, this is a great song. It's possibly my favorite here and nearly fits into progressive rock. There are also some elements that make me think of early Neil Young.
An acoustically driven ballad, Bob Dylan comes to mind on this one. .
I can hear hints of Tom Petty on this one, too, but it's a mellow balladic number. There are also some bluesy jazz oriented elements to the track.
Another mellow one this is a bit grittier. It's got some definite bluesy elements to it.
Pretty and delicate, this balladic cut is rather progressive rock like in nature in the introductory section. It shifts out into a banjo driven rather Beatles-like movement – that heightens the progressive rock nature of this. In fact, this is a very diverse and dynamic piece of music that would be quite at home on a prog rock disc.
This one is bluesy. It's also pretty and ballad-like. It's an instrumental and a nice change of pace.
Banjo brings a down home texture, but in many ways this feels like Tom Petty meets Porcupine Tree. It's a tasty cut and one of my favorites on show here.
Mumy closes things with a little old-time pop music dittie.
