Wednesday June 22
Lots of perconceived ideas about Brunei such as Sharia Law, women in full Berqa, repressed population and a hypocritical degenerate Sultan who still employs a harem of western prostitutes and doesn't like Australians.
We left Miri early in drizzle but there was a bit of wind so the Schreecher assisted as we headed north. The breeze filled in as we turned east so we put up the Main and enjoyed a great broad reach toward Kuala Belait River our first stop in Brunei.
We had to seriously dodge a fishing net that was laid directly in front of us. A ship nearby had to make way for us dodging the net. We waved our appreciation and got a toot in return. The ship then deliberately altered course to run straight through the net much to the dismay of the fishermen. The ship stopped and the fishermen went over and some discussions were had. Not sure if the ship had tangled in the net or if it was telling off the fishermen. We were beginning to supect that this ship was our "escort" into Brumei. Others in the fleet suspected we were being shadowed and watched.
Easy but shallow entrance to the River then sat down to fill out the paperwork Allan had given us in Miri.
Port Arrival form in triplicate with no carbon paper
Port Clearance form in triplicate
Immigration arrival form
Declaration of alcohol in possession in duplicate
7 copies of the crew list
Malaysian Immigration and Port Clearance documents
Plus $20.00 SGD for a visa because the Sultan doesnt like Australians after they insulted him by sending him out of the country one time when he arrived without a visa.
We then went ashore to the Yacht club with the tender service provided. We received a very warm welcome from the Yacht Club Commodore. After an hour going through all the paperwork with the agent we went of into town to explore. It was Ramadan so we were surprised to find many food shops open but no one was eating. Also there were no Berqa's. The dress code was very similar to Malaysia with women in colourful head scarfs and pretty, although modest clothing.
We had been advised that for men long pants were required and ladies should be well covered. However, the reality was much more relaxed and casual. Lea bought a new pair of "heels" for the flash dinner at the Polo Club tomorrow.
Accross the road from the yacht club was a huge food bazaar cooking everything for the evening break fast. We were encouraged to try some. We bought a small snack. The stuffed squid looked fantastic and we learned it was filled with spiced mash potato. Tempting but we were saving up for the big dinner planned.
Our first tour was of the Oil Industry Infrastructure, mainly Shell. Allan took us around and gave us a good commentary on the history and culture of Brunei. There are still a few of the old "nodding donkey" oil pumps.
Some good news is that 60% of Brunei is still virgin jungle and 50% of that has been given to the World Widlife Fund for habitat protection.
A brief gap between the end of the tour and dinner saw us up the top of a nearby hotel to catch the view.
Thursday June 23
Another early start to get the tide out of the river. Once out of the river we lifted the Main and as the breeze increased the Spinnaker went up. A bit slow at first but the breeze freshened mid morning and we had a fabulous Broad Reach and were soon averaging over 8kts.
Passed a few of the boats who left earlier including Red Herring II. Got safely into Jerudong Harbour just as a squall hit. We were the first boats ever to be given permission to anchor here and we had strict instructions on what not to do. Behind the shore trees were the Sultans holiday palace and other homes of the wealthy.
Do not explore in dinghies.
Do not walk the beaches or breakwater.
When ashore stick to the paths and take ID for the Ghurka Guards
The harbour and precinct was originally built by Prince Jeffrey known as PJ the Sultans younger brother as a family retreat. The harbour was originally dredged out to 9m and the retaining wall was huge and neatly finished in concrete. The rocks used had to be imported by barge from the Phillipines as Brunei has very little rock of its own.
The beginnings of a marina are tucked around the protected corner where we anchored to get out of the now strong winds. The beach we were supposed to land on was now a surf beach, so we broke the rules by landing well down the beach and walking back to the guard post.
Allan met us with the bus for a tour of this area that used to be an enclave for the recreation of the rich. This included the Polo Club with its stables for 2500 horses. Only about 250 remain, the rest have been sold off.
PJ nearly bankrupted the country back in 1998 when he was Minister of Finance by building all this stuff and many other projects.
There was an associated Vet Hospital, Dressage Grounds, Huge undercover Arena,
and multiple Polo fields. The Sultan would invites guests from around the world to visit. They were accomodated at the magnificent Empire Hotel.
The hotel currently runs at about 30% occupancy. There is also a Golf Course, Amusement Park, Entertainment Stadium as well as the grand Polo Club. Much of this infrastructure is now unused and falling into disrepair but other parts have been opened up to the Public.
There is a fabulous medical centre here and it is being expanded with the construction of a massive Cancer Hospital. The co- payment for medical treatment in Brunei is $1.00 for locals and $3.00 for foreigners. If you need specialists not in Brunei they will fly you to wherever you need, usually KL or Singapore.
Dinner at the Polo Club was fantastic with an endless buffet of all types of food.
Friday June 24
No alarm clock this morning. Coffee on Esoterica before motoring off the 26 Nm to Serasa.
Passed the Empire Hotel, up to the Port of Muara.
Anchored Off the Royal Brunei Yacht Club. Not quite as grand as we were expecting but very welcoming. More paperwork in triplicate for this port. Lea and I enjoyed a cool off in the 20m pool, a welcome relief after the hot slow trip. A big washing machine allowed us to catch up with all the sheets and towels from the the Film Crews stay.
Another great buffet dinner and we were allowed to take our own alcoholic drinks ashore.
Lost my good sunglasses out of my backpack while bending down to untie the dinghy. Bugger!
Saturday June 25
Lea went off for a run and swim. I Went snorkelling in the murk under the dinghy landing looking for my sunglasses. Vis was about 8 cm so no joy there. Lots of waiting around again to get our passports back, then we motored up river to the RBYC venue at Kota Batu. Graeme and Karen off Red Herring II joined us for the trip.
Anchored just before a squall came through from the opposite direction. We dragged so had to reanchor. Lea got back into her Bikini and in the pouring rain went up to the foredeck to pull up the anchor. She found lots of plastic bags on the anchor. Seemed to dig in ok this time and we were now running late for our "Cultural Tour" of the Capital City. Braved the rain for the dinghy trip ashore and were hustled, dripping onto the waiting bus. Allan's timeline was very tight to get to the Regalia Museum.
We made it and enjoyed an hour viewing all the Sultans Regalia and gifts received. We also saw his two great golden chariots.
Then on to the new mosque,
The old mosque, built by the Sultans father was a bit more austere and some believe it to be more dignified than the glitzy new one.
It was raining again so good photos were hard to get.
The Sultans new Palace is set in spacious grounds and more fabulous gardens kept immaculately.
and his fathers old Palace (pre oil money).
Allan gave us a good informative commentary throughout the trip. Our last stop was a local Water Village. These villages are built on stilts out over the River which then provides all sanitation requirements courtesy of large resident catfish. We took a water taxi over to this haphazards collection of houses that you could mistake for the poorer part of town.
However, the houses are rarely found for sale and prospective new owners must be approved by the community. No Westerners or expats have been allowed to purchase yet. Many residents have houses in town but prefer to spend weekends in their Water Village homes.
We had afternoon tea in the formal area of a large house.
We got to explore this large home on the water and found it had all the mod cons you could want.
Returned to Gemini Lady for a rest before dinner at the RBYC Kota Batu Clubhouse.
Got back in at 1900 for a drink before the 1930 dinner only to find most people had already finished their dinner. Spoilt a good night but it was a carvery and the roast meats were plentiful and delicious.

The African Global Chamber of Commerce's (AGCC) mission is to promote multi-lateral trade, investment, cultural exchanges and education with African nations to the United States. 2018 was a banner year for AGCC and its founder Olivier Kamanzi. Mr. Kamanzi, an investment banker by trade, boasts relationships and partnerships with the US State Department, Northwestern University, Rainbow Push Coalition, the Dakar Chamber of Commerce and the South Africa ANC Progressive Business Forum. In the interview below, Lauren G. Lowery, Finders Plus Real Estate and FP Commercial Advisors and C.A.R. Global Council Member, speaks with Mr. Kamanzi about the current state and future of economic investment in Africa.
Lauren G. Lowery (LL): Why is investment in African countries important?
Olivier Kamanzi (OK): There are several reasons why Africa is, and should be, the next destination for investment. Africa is rich in resources and human capital, but its wealth is very underestimated. With increases in industry and low labor costs, Africa will become a global manufacturing center, usurping China. At this time, 60 percent of the continent is free land waiting to be cultivated for both traditional and non-traditional resources. With the combination of Africa's mineral resources and increasing agriculture, Africa will eventually feed the world. The African Global Chamber of Commerce advances its mission by partnering and collaborating with Africans in the diaspora, America's global business communities and Africans on the continent to expose these opportunities.
LL: Are there real estate investment opportunities at this time?
OK: Absolutely. Infrastructure is the key investment priority across the continent of Africa. Even the African leaders have directed the African Development Bank, an investment bank of all African Nations, to create a fund targeting Infrastructure projects funding. It is called the Africa50 Fund. Social, residential housing and commercial constitute important investment opportunities for U.S. Investors.
LL: Which countries/cities should be targeted at this time?
OK: In all 55 African Nations, there are shortages of housing and the population keeps increasing year after year. For investors to decide the countries or cities they prioritize for investment, they should assess each country individually in terms of safety and business climate. Understanding the major cities that offer minimum infrastructure such as electricity, roads, internet, etc. is also critical. I will say that the countries and cities to target are many. I would encourage any investor interested to prospect the possibilities to invest in Africa to contact Africa Global Chamber of Commerce, and we will provide a list of countries and cities that we have identified as safe and priority investment destination.
Olivier Kamanzi looks forward to inviting the Global Council to many of its events in 2019 and would love to plan a joint trade mission to Niger in the near future.

'Where everyone is going': How analytics is changing the customer experience
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
In an industry already rife with buzzwords, there's a relatively new one making the rounds among bankers and card issuers: journey analytics.
Coined in 2015 by Forrester analysts, it refers to mapping out a process customers go through, such as opening a new account or obtaining a reissued credit card, figuring out what the customer experience was like along all points of the process, including call center, online banking and text messages, and applying analytics to see what is going well and what needs to be fixed.
Rebecca Wooters, managing director and head of global cards customer experience digital and journey strategy at Citigroup, has been applying journey analytics to its cardholder base.
"Each journey has a starting point or multiple starting points and an intended outcome," she said. "What is everything happening in between those two spots, and are we doing what we need to do for the customer to provide a seamless, frictionless experience?"
The idea of such an experience isn't new and customer analytics have been in use forever. What's innovative is examining what Wooters calls the "connective tissue" that connect points in a process, including anything that happens in operations, any risk or legal policies that may block a customer from a transaction, and interactions with partners.
"Being able to unpack these journeys and map them and redesign them in a way that includes our partners in operations, our vendors, our risk policies and how we may intervene or block them in access their own information or at the point of sale — these are all things that are important when it comes to breaking that journey apart," Wooters said. "I truly believe that this is the right approach."
At Synchrony Financial, Farrell Hudzik, senior vice president of enterprise customer engagement, is taking a similar approach.
The card company creates customer journeys for processes like authentication, "to get the true feel for what does it feel like when the customer goes through that, what can we do in those processes to provide things people feel comfortable with?" she said.
Hudzik uses software from ClickFox to sift through transaction data and map out these journeys.
"We started looking at digital containment — what are the real reasons for someone to come out of the digital experience and into the IVR or into the call center," she said. "We're now mapping in voice of customer, mapping in compliance, mapping in transaction data and looking toward how do we start to correlate those business metrics and spending behaviors with key experiences in that journey. That's going to be a powerful tool for us. Our goal is to use journey analytics as a way to inform the way we make decisions in our business and change the way we work for our customers."
Citi also uses ClickFox and has mapped a dozen customer journeys in it. Before the bank could even get that far, however, it had to reexamine data hygiene, Wooters shared.
The call center had one set of data, the IVR another, mobile and online banking data were separate and there was an independent complaints repository. In each data set, information was tagged differently.
"So there was a whole body of work just to get to this uniform data view of our customers," Wooters said.
Now that this data has been submitted to the journey analytics platform, the bank is starting to understand what customers are doing in their "journeys" across multiple touch points — phone calls, online banking, mobile banking. It's combined that with customer satisfaction indicators like completed surveys, filed complaints and net promoter scores.
"We also look at things like number of attempts, how long it took them to do something, and ultimately what did their completes look like — did they get an error?" Wooters said. "We can correlate that with their NPS."
The bank can start to predict what a customer is going to do and how well the bank will handle the exchange.
"That's allowed us to reprioritize what we wanted to do for our customers based on what our customers were both telling us and doing," Wooters said. "Customers will tell you what they want, but sometimes they do something different. And to be able to combine the behavioral analysis with what they were telling us greatly informed what we were doing and how we did it."
"One of the challenges is when you have access to so much information, how do you take the right meaning out of it?"
Wooters' team observed, for example, that customers have high anxiety around replacing their credit card, and what happens in that "journey" can affect the relationship permanently.
"That allowed us to focus differently," Wooters said.
Jennifer Garden, senior manager of customer life-cycle strategies at TD Bank, said the journey analytics concept appears promising.
"The customer is at the forefront of everything we do," she said. "The journey itself and what those different touchpoints look like will continue to change. We have a lot of capabilities on the analytics front, but I think we could always do better. Also, I think one of the challenges is when you have access to so much information, how do you take the right meaning out of it?"
Richard Goldman, CEO of the card marketing data provider Competiscan, said his customers are also looking at customer journeys.
"Card issuers and financial services companies are asking for a much longer view of the onboarding experience," he said. "Eight years ago, onboarding used to be defined as 90 days, today they're still onboarding a year and beyond."
That change has occurred because the card market has become increasingly competitive and customers have access to more information about card programs than ever before.
"This has to happen much faster than banks are used to — it's agile, it's iterative, it's fail fast, and that is a really different mindset."
"There are people that are constantly shopping that are open to hear a different offer," Goldman said. "If I can get them and keep them for a year, the chances of falling to the wayside of that person's wallet diminishes. That's what the issuers have come up with based on their own statistics around customer behavior during the first year."
Card issuers are analyzing the direct mail, email, text messages and phone calls between themselves and their customers during that critical first year, he said.
These companies are not alone. Ally, Bank of the West and USAA are among the others mapping the customer journey to eliminate frustrating snags and improve the experience, as detailed here.
"This focus on journeys is where everyone is going," said Bob Neuhaus, senior director of financial services at J.D. Power.
He also pointed out that the work is harder than it might appear.
"It's a real art to get it set up, it doesn't happen in one year," Neuhaus said. "You have to talk to customers; it takes extensive research to understand how they feel and their behavior. Then putting in place analytics measuring systems is so critical. This has to happen much faster than banks are used to — it's agile, it's iterative, it's fail fast, and that is a really different mindset. It's more exciting and can be threatening, too."

LAS VEGAS--Philips Electronics is looking to let your television tap into the video and audio stored on your PC.
The company's connectivity group demonstrated its Wireless Home AV Platform device at the Comdex Fall 2002 trade show this week. The software and hardware product is designed to allow people to wirelessly access content stored on a PC via a consumer-electronics device such as a television or home stereo.
"We see the lines between PCs and (consumer electronics) devices blurring, and we're taking baby steps towards a single 'converged' device," said Engelbert van Pelt, a general manager at Philips.
The consumer-electronics giant is one of a number of companies that have expressed interest in bridging the world of PCs and consumer-electronics devices, though there have been several failed attempts at converging the two. Others that have invested in similar efforts, including technology heavyweights Intel and Microsoft, as well as a handful of PC makers such as Hewlett-Packard, Dell Computer and Gateway.
However, many companies have toned down their attempts at producing fully converged PC and consumer-electronics devices after taking their licks from earlier tries.
"The buzzword is not convergence, but connectivity--getting devices to talk to one another," said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with Jupiter Research. "Consumers resoundingly rejected convergence, so these companies have to be careful about making devices easy to use. Consumers don't want...to have to figure out how to get devices to talk to one another."
The Wireless Home AV Platform is expected to start out using 802.11b wireless networking technology and to be upgradeable to 802.11a. Van Pelt said that Philips views the PC as the data server for consumer-electronics devices.
Philips has working products and is looking to other companies to brand, market and sell the device. The company is expected to make partner announcements at the Consumer Electronics show, scheduled for January 2003.
The Wireless Home AV Platform is expected to be available in some form early next year, costing anything from $300 to $800, depending on features--for example, whether it has the ability to stream audio and video content from a PC.
The connectivity group that developed the device is part of Philips' consumer-electronics group, following the
In related Comdex news from Philips, the company's optical storage group unveiled the DVDRW 416, a 4x DVD+RW drive that should sell for $319. The group also introduced the Jack Rabbit 32x CD-RW, a USB 2.0-compatible portable device that can read and write CD-RW discs and play DVD discs.

Owls and bats delay hotel plan
Published on 06/10/2006
The Cumberland News
CONCERNS over bats and barn owls have delayed a planning application for the conversion of the Tarn End Hotel at Talkin Tarn, near Brampton.
Cumbria County Council, which wants to sell the sandstone building, has applied for consent to extend and convert it into eight holiday apartments. The application went before Carlisle city councillors last Friday. But they put off making a decision to give English Nature and Cumbria Wildlife Trust time to comment on a consultants' bat and barn owl survey.
A previous survey found evidence of the creatures but the survey was carried out in winter when bats hibernate and, according to planning officers, was "not able to adequately assess the extent of the usage by these speciesâ€

In my last post, I briefly mentioned that I'm giving up Facebook and Pinterest for Lent. This means I'm giving up a serious addiction for 6 weeks. For anyone who doesn't understand the point of giving things up for Lent, let me explain.
Lent is a time of solemn reflection. It is a time of preparation. It is a time where we try to cleanse ourselves (mind, body, and soul) in preparation for the coming of Christ. It begins with Ash Wednesday and these very solemn reminders: Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin, and be faithful to the Gospel. Repent and hear the good news! During this time, we give up things that are dear to us, so we may better ourselves.
People used to fast during Lent. Actually, I always thought this was similar to the fasting during Ramadan, where people of faith would give up eating, drinking, smoking, and sex so as to be closer to God. These sacrifices are to teach us about patience, spirituality, and humility. Sacrificing other things, such as chocolate, sweets, Facebook, etc, are all considered part of the fast. It is a sacrifice to bring us closer to God and to better ourselves. Now a days, some people add things to their lives, such as volunteer work, or charitable donations to better themselves. Either way is acceptable, and ideally we'll do both.
When I was younger, I didn't quite understand that. I'd give up sweets or soda or chocolate for all the wrong reasons (I wanted to lose weight). Admittedly, sometimes it had a great outcome. For example, I still don't drink much soda. Once I gave it up, I never really wanted to go back to it. Still, though, I wasn't getting the point of giving up something for Lent.
It's different now, though. This year especially, I want to better myself. I knew I was spending way to much time on the computer, staring for hours at status updates and pictures. It was depressing in some ways, but I just couldn't stop. I knew that this was not how I was supposed to be living my life, but I couldn't think of any reason to stop. I didn't want to give it up completely, but I couldn't tear myself away from it.
Then, as Lent approached, and I was trying to determine what to sacrifice, I saw (somewhat ironically) a post on Facebook from someone saying she was giving up Facebook for Lent. Suddenly I realized that I could do this! This would be the perfect thing to sacrifice. I needed something to tear me away from the computer, but I didn't want to be torn away forever. Lent was a perfect excuse. I'd be torn away for 40 days, and in that time I'd work on bettering myself. At the end of 40 days, I hope to not be as drawn to Facebook or Pinterest (or the internet in general). I hope it ends up being like it was when I gave up soda. I'll have it every now and then, but not a lot.
All that said, there are two clarifications that Hans and I discussed last night. 1) Hans will go on Facebook once a week for me to make sure no one has posted on my wall and to tell them how to get in touch with me if they have. He said he wouldn't tell anyone if I hopped on myself for 30 minutes each Sunday (technically not part of Lent), but I really didn't want that. 2) I am allowed to post pictures from my cell phone to my business page. I can also post interesting articles to my business page. I can't let the business go dormant for 6 weeks. It may have much less activity, but it won't be completely dormant. Oh, and as Hans reminded me, my blog shows up on Facebook, so I'm not completely invisible!
Anyway, here's to 6 weeks of bettering myself!

Windies on Saturday, named their 13 member squad for Test series against India, Huge Rahkeem Cornwall gets his maiden call for the West Indies. The interesting fact about Cornwall is that, he is the most heaviest cricketer, who have played the game. The 26 year old big heavy-weight all-rounder is over 140 Kg and 6.6 feet tall.
Apart from his selection, Windies side backed their squad against no.1 Test side in the world. West Indies selectors didn't pick veteran Chris Gayle in the squad. Earlier, in the World Cup Gayle showed his interest in ending his International cricket with the longer format of the game.
Note: India and West Indies will play their first match of Test Championship on 22 August 2019.

A British couple says their daughter's dying wish was to give her parents the gift of a grandchild. The 59-year-old woman and her 58-year-old husband claim their only child wanted her eggs to be fertilized by donor sperm and implanted into her own mother's womb, according to the Daily Mail.
After being diagnosed with bowel cancer at age 23, the young woman froze her eggs in 2008 in hopes of giving birth later in life, but she tragically passed away from the disease in 2011, and now those eggs are the only hope for a grandchild.
The couple was repeatedly turned down by clinics in the United Kingdom, and then reached out to doctors in the United States for help. New York Fertility Services agreed to administer the vitro fertilization (I.V.F.) procedure, according to the Daily Mail, but the British Human Fertility and Embryology Authority (HFEA) refused "the couple's application to export their daughter's frozen eggs to America, on the grounds that she did not give clear written consent."
Now the woman and her husband are fighting HFEA in court.
If they win their case and the woman goes on to become pregnant, she won't be the first grandmother to give birth to her own grandchild. A 55-year-old woman from Virginia gave birth to her daughter's triplets in 2004. Ann Stolper, 59, of Florida, carried and delivered her daughter's twins in 2007. Stolper's daughter had a hysterectomy at age 25 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer. A 61-year-old Chicago woman named Kristine Casey became pregnant with her daughter's eggs and the sperm of her son-in-law in 2011.
The exact number of grandmothers birthing grandchildren is unknown, but infertile couples are turning to relatives more and more to avoid the expense and legal difficulties that can arise when an unrelated woman is the surrogate.
This situation in Britain is unique because the couple's daughter is deceased and British officials are arguing that it's unethical to bring a child into the world after the biological mother has died. What's more, health clinics in Britain typically refuse surrogates over 50 years old because older woman face more risks in pregnancy. The chances of the woman actually becoming pregnant through IVF are small.
The couple plans to take their case to the High Court in Britain in hopes of having the eggs transported to the United States. If they're successful, the woman will be the first in the world to become pregnant with eggs from a deceased daughter, experts say.

After feeling ill yesterday I was hoping that I would feel a lot better for today. As today was the designers show at Norwich Fashion Week. The designs on show were from local designers as well as up and coming designers from Norwich City College.
From the top of the photographs:
There were some amazing pieces! Beautiful pastels colours, amazing underwear (or out-a-wear, depending on how brave you are!) from Alice Bodgener started off the catwalk show. My favourite piece was a beautiful blue t shirt that had floral detail bib collar! It is definitely a piece my wardrobe wants!
Now as a bride to be I found Jane Kenning's white dress amazing! Definitely a statement piece. I was sitting relatively near the front and nearly got knocked out my dress! (literally, it was massive. Big Fat Gypsy wedding dresses eat your heart out!!!) All the other pieces in the collection were beautiful too!
I love knitwear and usually as spring/summer comes round the corner you have to give it up! But not with Peggy's Collection! The knits were perfect for the summer. A great cover up for those cooler evenings! Again another lovely wedding style dress! The perfect combination of knitwear and wedding elegance.
Sally Ronaldson's label Brown Cow collection was amazing! And best of all it's guilt free fashion as it's all reworked from recycled material. The gorgeous crochet jacket is something I NEED! And the dress underneath was beautiful and floral and perfect! I love this collection! I WANT!!
Now my favourite! The amazing Monkey Mash! Words cannot explain how beautiful this collection is! Amazing fabrics! And the tube map dress! Oh my. I love it soooo much. It's something I need to get my hands on. The whole collection is just beautiful. A kitsch print tube skirt would fit perfectly in my wardrobe! Please Monkey Mash can I have everything???? PLEASE!
Marian Eve Williams collection was beautiful and romantic! Perfect for summer. I particularly loved the floral kimono (ish) jacket. It would look amazing dressed up but sooo perfect dressed down with jeans and heels!
Marilyn Thomas's collection Verandah was really cute! Perfect little jumpers and cardigans to wear with floral skirts and shorts. They looked great. I really loved the styling with the little bowler hats! They went so well together! Note to self must get a bowler hat!
I have always loved Poppy Valentine and this collection didn't disappoint. The dresses were vintage and retro inspired and they were just breath taking and beautiful. Again I could quite easily live off the entire collection for spring/summer!
The show ended with an amazing collection Cocoon. The label was created by the fashion design students at Norwich City College, it was set up to showcase the amazing talent the students have. And it was great! The clothes were amazing, dresses with extreme shoulder pads, leather luxe dresses. My favourite piece was the alphabet printed scarf worn as a top! Such an amazing style idea. I am sooo inspired by this. It's defiantly something to try over spring/summer. There were military jackets with plastic medals, beautiful block print colours and an amazing ruby coloured skirt. Which is a must have! I want it all. If any of the students want to design all my clothes from now on, then they can! Please!!!
Overall it was an amazing show! And if that's just the talent from the creative folk in Norwich then I feel mega proud to have such talent locally! Who needs London Fashion Week? Norwich is where it's at!

The problem you are experiencing is being caused by the lack of power to run the hard drive.
Buy yourself a Y USB splitter to allow the drive to be powered from a separate supply. Make sure the voltage does not also supply the RPI. I had to cut the positive lead in the y splitter cable. So be careful.

So it is working but un-sure at this point about other devices. I will run it this way over the weekend to see if it holds up. I do see all of the partitions I built with the WDLabs image so that is cool. I am running the beta13 image right now. I have mis-placed my ps2 female pig tail. When I find it I will solder up a connector for the 2m rig and see if I have enough power to drive the radio audio. More to come.

Mystic Meg...
Although my prediction was a year too early, it looks like it is now coming to fruition.
Here is my article, written only days after he signed.
Louis Saha could well be one of the greatest signings in our history! Laugh if you want to... I know that it is a bold statement; however, I will stand by it until I am proven to be wrong.
For a while now, we have craved a pure athlete up front. AJ was an athlete, however, we need an athlete with a predator-like instinct. Louis Saha could well be that player. He can score with both feet, has pace to burn, is fantastic in the air and has already proved that, by offering to forsake his wages until fit, he is not only a first class and honest professional, but is chomping at the bit to pull on the blue shirt and start banging the goals in.
I remember seeing his play whilst on loan at Newcastle years ago and even then I could see that the guy was sheer class. In a way he reminds me of Les Ferdinand. He has a fantastic spring which enables him to outjump opposition defenders from a standing start and at 6'-1" he is also good at holding the ball up. The main difference with this guy is that he can use both feet equally well.
We all know about his goalscoring exploits with Fulham. 117 appearances with a goal return of 53 was awesome in a side that struggled year-in, year-out. His move to Manchester United was inevitable with that form and although he suffered many injury problems he still scored some sensational goals, keeping Ruud van Nistlerooy out for a spell. He played 86 times netting on no fewer than 28 occasions.
Although we favour the 4-4-1-1 formation with Tim Cahill playing in 'the hole', I can honestly see a reversion to 4-4-2 to accommodate Saha when he is fit as his pace, power, athleticism, predatory instinct and hunger combined with all the Yak possesses, in my eyes will be one of the deadliest strike partnerships in the league.
Breaking it all down, I still cannot believe we got Saha on the terms that we did. It is well known that David Moyes has a great relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson and to be honest, I don't care if we do get labelled "Man Utd's B-team" if it means that we carry on getting players of the calibre of Tim Howard & Louis Saha.
Of course, my words here are based on a fully fit Saha, and I do have every confidence that he will regain his fitness and match sharpness in the coming weeks. However, I will fully accept any criticism and invite you to laugh at me if I am completely wrong about this... after all, I do sound like the Chairman of the Louis Saha fan club.
Anyway, all together now, after 3... 1-2-3;

Does Anthony not fear those honourable men whose daggers stab?
The die has now cast. The promised land is closer now
Marches to Pompey heralded change before this day
So march with intent. You'd be a pleb to do so

Nice one, Nick, even if I don't have a clue what the hell you were talking about!
Louis is on tremendous form, slightly worried that he seemed to be limping towards the end of the match.... Anybody else notice it?
3 Posted 27/09/2009 at 14:44:18
His performances have 'making up for lost time' written all over them. Portsmouth would have kicked him off the field yesterday if they could have caught him. He was way ahead of the game. A class act.
Can he stay fit? Any player can be injured at almost any stage in a game, training or doing a bit of household maintenance, but the fragile one looks good. Our physios come in for a bit of stick now and then — I wonder if there's anything they are doing for him specially?
Any way, missing the trip to Minsk will do him no harm and he should be well and rested to knock a few in against Stoke.
4 Posted 27/09/2009 at 23:34:12
Seriously though, he's on a great run at present and we're all mightily impressed, but he's got some way to go until he's 'one of our greatest ever signings'.
However, it's good to see a positive post being justified, even if an injury could put the kybosh on him at any time.

Cams and Lamps
December 05, 2003 18:26
I've disconnected all but the Office cam from the old place along with most of the lights, although I've left two in operation there, even though they're presently not visible on any cams. At the new place, I've added a cam in the living room and should hopefully have zoom working on the hallway cam by later tonight. There are now three controllable lamps available, with more soon to follow.
In addition to making the living room and hallway cams somewhat more permanant, I also plan to place a cam in the garage, kitchen, and one on the front porch. There will also be one viewing the pool, and a controllable boat cam as soon as I find a suitable boat.

This is just a hello from me to see if anyone still reads this, I know these days its all videos and podcasts etc, but sometimes there is nothing like the good old written word, so (hopefully) there will be more to come soon (ish).


text: (Adds Morgan Stanley executive's full title in paragraph 9) By Tatiana Bautzer and Carolina Mandl SAO PAULO, July 10 (Reuters) - The sale of state-owned assets is expected to drive M&A transactions and share offerings volume in Brazil in the second half of the year, bankers and investors said, after a slower-than-expected first half. As court injunctions delayed asset sales by oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA and discussion of pension reform dragged on in Congress, the volume of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of the year fell 19% to $20.8 billion, according to Refinitiv data. But state-controlled companies faced less hurdles to selling stakes in companies already listed, and the volume of share offerings rose 45% in the first half to 8.6 billion reais ($2.25 billion). It was the best first half of the year since 2013. After Brazil's Supreme Court finally cleared the way for Brazil's largest deal this year, the sale by Petrobras of gas pipeline network TAG to France's Engie SA for $8.6 billion, banks expect the volume of privatization-related M&A to grow. The next one on the block is fuel distribution unit Petrobras Distribuidora SA, which will be privatized through a share offering by the end of the month. "We are expecting a new round of infrastructure auctions that may include licenses to operate airports, railroads and highways", said Hans Lin, head of investment banking in Brazil at Bank of America. The approval of pension reform by Congress is expected to unlock strategic moves by Brazilian companies that were waiting for a clearer outlook for the economy. "We expect private M&A activity to rise more sharply next year, as the transactions take around nine months between initial talks and announcements," said Eduardo Miras, head of investment banking in Brazil at Citigroup. Citi is leading the M&A advisory ranking so far this year with five deals announced, totaling $10.2 billion. One of the few recent private deals announced is the proposed merger between food processors BRF SA and Marfrig Global Foods SA. Miras expects more deals on the power industry in the second half. Alessandro Zema, country head of Morgan Stanley in Brazil and also head of its investment banking unit, also noticed more activity in private mandates recently, and expects new deals in retail, following recent acquisitions of e-commerce Netshoes and appliance retailer Via Varejo SA. "Industries more directly affected by the recession, such as retail and consumer products, also had lower M&A activity," Zema said. "We believe this is going to change with a better outlook for the economy." Zema also pointed out that some Brazilian companies in good shape are looking for targets outside the country as a way to balance risks. Last month, Natura Cosmeticos SA acquired Avon Products Inc.. Another driver for future M&A activity is the fast growth of start-ups in the country, which has become a main target of investors such as Japan's Softbank. Softbank has raised a $5 billion fund for Latin America. EQUITIES Much of the growth in share offerings' volume was led by state-controlled banks Caixa Economica Federal and Banco do Brasil, which sold their stakes in Petrobras and power company Neoenergia SA, respectively. Caixa also sold a stake in the reinsurer IRB Brasil Resseguros SA, owned by a fund managed by the bank. Many follow-ons in the pipeline for the coming months also involve divestments by the government or state-owned companies, totaling at least 30 billion reais. This list includes follow-ons by Banco do Brasil, Alupar Investimento SA , Petrobras Distribuidora SA and IRB, besides an IPO by insurance company Caixa Seguridade. Despite high volumes in share offerings, only two companies dared an initial public offering so far: sporting goods retailer Centauro and Neoenergia SA. "IPO´s market would resume on a relevant scale once foreign equity investors massively return to Brazil," said Cristiano Guimaraes, Itau BBA's managing director. "Their return will largely depend on the approval of a significant pension reform." TABLES M&A drops 19% The value of mergers and acquisitions involving Brazilian targets fell 19% in the first half of 2019 from the same period in 2018 to $20.8 billion, according to Refinitiv data. Following are the investment banks with the most advisory work, by total deal value and by number of mandates: Rank Financial advisor Deals value Number of ($ million) deals 1 Citi 10,279 5 2 Morgan Stanley 8,682 2 3 Rotschild & Co 3,308 8 4 Banco BTG Pactual 2,780 15 SA 5 Itau Unibanco 2,565 10 6 Bank of America 1,847 3 7 Goldman Sachs 1,498 3 8 Riza Capital 1,261 2 9 BR Partners 1,097 3 10 TD Securities Inc 1,025 1 Industry 20,881 247 Total Equity offerings up 45% The value of Brazilian equity offerings rose 45% in the first half of 2019 from the same period in 2018 to $8.5 billion. Following are the investment banks with most bookrunning work, by proceeds and number of issues: Rank Book runner Proceeds Number of ($ million) issues 1 Bank of America 970 8 2 Itau Unibanco 808 9 3 Banco BTG 793 10 Pactual 4 JPMorgan 667 5 5 Morgan Stanley 639 5 Industry 8,693 17 total ($1 = 3.8168 reais) (Reporting by Tatiana Bautzer and Carolina Mandl; editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Placing picks on the moneyline - Risking a little to win a lot
Courtesy of Wunderdog Sports Picks
Should you play the NFL money line? How profitable can it be? How is the money-line used in baseball? Some answers below.
While seasoned gamblers understand the money-line, many people who like to make sports picks do not understand this pick option and the huge potential benefits associated with using it. This article will describe the money-line and how it can be used to risk a little and win a lot in the NFL.
What is the Money-Line?
Playing the money-line is equivalent to picking a team (favorite or underdog) to win the game straight-up. For this pick, there is no spread. If the team you pick wins the game outright, you win your pick. If the team loses, you lose the pick. And there is no juice or vig (although the odds you get have casino profit built in).
I know what you're thinking - just pick the favorite each time and laugh all the way to the bank! Well, it's not that simple. If this pick paid even money, you would simply pick the favorites each week, win more than 50% of your picks, and retire young. That's why, of course, this pick doesn't pay even money. If you select a favorite to win straight up, you need to put down more than you can win. If you select an underdog, you need to put down less money than you can win. Let's look at a couple of examples:
Example 1: Miami Dolphins -3 over Minnesota Vikings
For this game, the sports book has set the Money Line at -180 for Miami and +150 for Minnesota. That means that if you want to pick Miami to win straight up, you would need to lay $180 to win $100. If you want to take Minnesota to win straight-up, you would lay $100 to win $150.
Example 2: Buffalo Bills +6.5 over Green Bay Packers
For the second game, the bookmaker has set the money at -300 for the Pack and +230 for Buffalo. The larger numbers reflect the larger spread. If you can pick a 6.5 point underdog to win straight-up, you would win $230 for a mere $100 pick.
Moneyline Underdogs: Risking a Little to Win a Lot
What you may have noticed is that if you can successfully pick underdogs to win straight-up, you can win a lot of money without risking nearly as much. I like this fact about the money line. And, if you combine money-line picks into parlays, you can really hit the jackpot with a small investment. For example, if we parlayed Minnesota and Buffalo with the money-line in the above example, a $100 pick would yield $725 in winnings. Throw in a third team (say, the Giants at +4.5) and a $100 pick would win $2,169.
Obviously, it is harder to pick underdogs to win straight-up, right? Yes, but maybe not as hard as you initially think. The spread only comes into play about 84% of the time in the NFL. In other words, the team that wins the game doesn't cover the spread only 16% of the time.
Also, since you win more than you pick when picking dogs with the money line, you have to win a much smaller percentage of your games to break even. The particular percentage depends on the spread in the games you pick (the higher the spreads, the fewer games you need to win since the money line pays more for higher spread dogs).
For example, let's imagine over the course of the season you were to pick 100 three-point underdogs to win straight-up at a money line of +150. In this scenario, you would only need to win 40% of those games to break even. On the 60 losses, you would of course lose 60 units (there is no juice on money line picks). On the 40 winners you would win 60 units (1.5 x 40).
If you were to pick one hundred 6.5-point underdogs to win straight-up at a money line of +230, you would only need to win about 31% of your picks to break-even.
So, there is an opportunity to do well with the money-line if you can select enough dogs that win straight-up.
What it All Means
This season, consider using the money-line to your advantage. If you like an underdog and think they have a shot at winning the game outright, you might be better off putting that $100 on money-line for your team. If they win straight-up, you'll rake in a lot more profits than if you had just picked them to cover the spread. If you aren't sure, split your picks and put $50 on the dog to win straight-up and $50 to cover the spread. If the team covers the spread but doesn't win the game, you break-even. If they win the game, you win both picks!
The Money Line in Baseball
Kansas City +135 vs. Detroit
NY Yankees -250 vs. Colorado
What do these numbers mean? They represent the "money-line" and they are used as a way to take into account that some teams are better than others. If both teams in a contest were exactly evenly matched, then you could simply pick $100 on either team, and if they won, you'd get paid $100. If they lost, you'd lose your $100.
But, as you know, in each contest there is usually a "favorite" (think Yankees) and an "underdog." If it were always a $100 for $100 proposition, you'd simply pick the favorite all of the time and rake in the cash. So, to account for this, the lines-makers set a moneyline. It usually ranges from between +300 to -300. Let's take an example:
New York Yankees (-250) vs. Colorado Rockies
In this case, NY is a favorite and Colorado is an underdog. If you want to pick the Yankees, you need to pick (risk) $250 to win $100. So, if you pick $250 on the Yankees to win the game, you'd win $100 if they actually won and you'd lose your $250 if they lost.
On the other hand, if you liked the Rockies to win, you'd pick $100 to win $250. If you lost, you'd lose your $100 but if you won, you'd win $250 for your $100 pick.
Because of these numbers, many people who place sports picks don't like to pick big favorites and prefer to stay with low-priced favorites or underdogs.
We incorporate moneyline picks into our picks.

Search and you shall find... Just to paraphrase Our Lord's words.
It is very frustrating in today's fast and furious pace of life, to patiently wait for anything to come to us. Technology helps, but also makes us impatient. We have to constantly look back at how our ancestors, especially in the Faith, had to deal with life. We can learn much from them. We forget that what we are experiencing, they also had too. It is just our time to live through very much the same. Dominus vobiscum!
- By Lori12359 554 Days AgoI find it very frustrating that supposedly "good" Catholic men just aren't interested in a woman with children (at least a lot of children like myself). They want their 1 or 2. I've been on Catholic Match and it's just terrible. Most are liberal "Neo-Catholics" that don't believe in all of the Church's teachings; especially the one regarding sex and marriage. No one wants to date a woman who has been married before; even if the Church has granted an annulment. What is a woman like me to do? This site is great but there aren't many active members on here. I love the Traditional Mass and am very conservative and I know the Church's teachings and try to follow them. I think that intimidates some men. I'm trying to be patient and trust that God will send someone when the time is right but that's not easy. There aren't any men in my area that are available, who like the Traditional Mass, and who are willing to be involved with someone with so many kids.

Investigators began preliminary examination of information about the mockery of a pensioner in one of the pharmacies of Gorno-Altaysk, the press service of the SUCK of the Russian Federation on Republic.
On Tuesday the social network «Vkontakte» and regional mass media there were publications and a video in which an employee of a pharmacy chemical sprays air freshener in the face of an elderly visitor. A pensioner is trying to cover her face and hide from the jet of air freshener, and a young woman pharmacist with laughter sprinkles the man with an aerosol, leaving foam on his clothes and neck.
«On this fact initiated preliminary examination, the results of which will be a procedural decision», — stated in the message.

Amy Kington is the highly inspirational woman behind Bristol City Community Trust. BCCT strive to make a difference to the lives of communities in Bristol through football, particularly working with young people and educational opportunities. Amy has been a long-time supporter of Bristol City Football Club and was an avid footballer when younger. She is also now a keen cyclist, amongst enjoying other sports, both taking part and spectating.
1. What was your first experience of sport? How did that develop to where you are now?
I always loved being outside. Growing up I was fortunate enough to live opposite a cricket field where kids gravitated to the second they finished school. Although cricket would be played there most summer evenings, at the weekends my friends and I used the space in a really unstructured way — we played all sorts of games including hide and seek, football and, if we had enough players, cricket.
It was a safe place and it provided me with an opportunity to have fun, make new friends and learn how to compete against boys who were much older and stronger than I was.
I loved football but there was no local side so my first experience of football was being taken by my Dad to a Bristol City game as a 6 year old child. It was amazing and we became regulars. I don't think I really appreciated the football at that young age but I really enjoyed spending time with my Dad and the hot dog at half time was the perfect treat. At secondary school I started to play football and soon became interested in coaching. I completed my first coaching badge at the age of 14 and later went on to manage three girls teams for a number of years.
It was this experience that helped me to realise that I wanted to work in football and ultimately at the club that I have been a proud supporter of for over 26 years. I now have my dream job as I can create opportunities to others to play so that they don't experience a lack of local opportunity in the same way as I did at their age.
2. Who were your sporting role models as a child? How about now?
I don't think I viewed role models in the same way as young people do now. Back in the late 80s and 90s there were women like Martina Navratilova who seemed to be more focused on achievement than stardom. They had interests and talents and didn't really seem too bothered on selling their looks like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and The Kardashians. They were, in their own way, distinctly powerful and not the types of women who the media now focus most their attentions towards.
Now there are many sporting role models but they still don't seem to get the media attention they deserve. Strong female role models are out there in abundance and I hope that the interest in them increases as it can only be a good thing for all of us!
3. Was there ever a time when you almost gave up and, if so, what made you keep going?
Although I've not always belonged to a sports club, I have never given up playing some form of sport or another. I need to exercise to maintain a healthy mind and body. Sport has always given me the ability to have fun and make friends and I don't think I'll ever stop even as I get older. I just expect to get slower but I'll still be walking for as long as I can!
4. How would you motivate someone to get active and engaged in sport?
Forget all your pre-conceived ideas and try things that you feel you will enjoy. Even shaking it to Beyonce in the privacy and comforts of your own home could be a good way to have fun and get hot and sweaty in the early days! If you want something more structured then it's always a good idea to go with a friend and wear clothes that you feel comfortable in. Trying anything new (or for the first time in years) can be daunting but you'll find that grassroots clubs are always looking for new members and they often have teams at varying ability and experience levels. Please remember that every athlete started life as a novice!
5. How important are sports fans and audience to your sport?
Sports fans are the life blood of football and without fans the whole sport would crash.

Hillary Clinton is anxious to compete in the Democratic primary in Kentucky, particularly after suffering a humiliating loss in West Virginia.
Now she is relying on the golden voice of Morgan Freeman, to help turn out black voters in the state.
In a new, minute-long ad, Clinton begins by telling voters of what she calls "systemic racism" in the United States.
"We have to face up to the hard truths of injustice and systemic racism," she says, recalling the wrongs suffered by African American voters in the justice system and at the hands of police officers.
Freeman follows up Clinton's message, reminding voters of her record as a lawyer working for African-Americans.
"If you want to will stand up for racial justice, look to someone who always has," Freeman concludes.
Kentucky's Democratic primary will take place on May 17.

Somali PM flies to Saudi Arabia amid strain in ties
MOGADISHU, Somalia - A high-level delegation led by the Prime Minister of Somalia, Hassan Ali Khaire has left Mogadishu for Saudi Arabia on Tuesday as the two nations try to mend their frayed ties, Garowe Online reports.
"Today I left the country for Saudi Arabia on an official visit at the invitation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and I will meet with officials there for bilateral talks to enhance relations between the two brotherly countries," Khaire tweeted.
The visit follows Somalia's reiteration of its neutral stands last year in the ongoing Gulf crisis that saw Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates [UAE], cut diplomatic relations with Qatar on June 5.
Riyadh expressed dismay over Mogadishu neutrality and subsequently halted financial assistance to Somali government which was accused of siding with Qatar by some leaders of the Somali Federal states.
Doha maintains close links with senior influential officials in Somalia, including the deputy Intelligence Agency chief Fahad Yasin, who prior to this post served as the Chief of Staff at Villa Somalia.
Since he came to power in February 2017, Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo paid several trips to Saudi Arabia and met with Saudi King Salman Abdulaziz but made no tangible progress on normalization of the soaring relations.

Greece approves pension handout defying eurozone
Athens, Dec 16 Greek lawmakers have approved a pension handout that has set the country on a collision course with hardline European creditors who accuse the struggling eurozone member of defiance.
A total of 196 lawmakers out of 257 present from across the party divide approved the bill deepening a row that has also brought simmering EU disputes over austerity to the fore.
The handout measure, announced by under-pressure leftist Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras last week, earmarks 617 million euros (USD 656 million) for a one-off payment to poor pensioners.
Athens says the pension handout will come out of a one-billion-euro tax surplus, but European creditors yesterday said the Greek move raised "significant concerns on both process and substance" regarding the country's bailout obligations.
In the joint statement, representatives from the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the European rescue fund said they would now decide whether to uphold a Eurogroup decision granting Greece short-term debt relief earlier this month.
Tsipras yesterday said as he arrived for an EU summit in Brussels that the situation had to be resolved "without blackmail" on the part of Greece's creditors.
"I believe that we can have a breakthrough without blackmail and with respect of the sovereignty of each country," said the leftist leader, who fought with his European peers to within an inch of taking Greece out of the euro last year.
Germany "is the only country, the only eurozone finance ministry, that raises an issue," he told reporters, adding that halting the debt relief "is outside the borders of reason."
The issue will inevitably come on the agenda later today when Tsipras meets German Chancellor Angela Merkel for talks in Berlin
. After the EU summit Merkel said "a critical discussion has already begun" on the matter, but insisted "it is not my intention to negotiate with Greece about the Greek package" leaving that to the finance ministers.
France weighed into the debate with uncharacteristic force, led by President Francois Hollande who insisted that Greece be "treated with dignity" in the ongoing dispute.
A spokesman for Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem on Wednesday said the eurozone was suspending the recently-announced debt relief scheme for Athens in retaliation at not being fully briefed on Tsipras's handout plans - which also include a lower sales tax for Greek islands sheltering migrants.
The actions "of the Greek government appear to not be in line with our agreements," said the spokesman for Dijsselbloem, who heads the 19-nation eurozone, which oversees Greece's massive 86-billion euro bailout.

Burlington Mac maker Jerry Manock remembers his old boss: Steve Jobs.
Walking back from lunch one day, I said, Steve, you paid me $1800 for the Apple II, and it's getting to be more and more popular, and I really think I ought to have a royalty on that. I ought to get, like, a dollar a unit, because $1800 wasn't all that much. He never hesitated. He looked at me and said, "You're very good. But if you knew how many we thought we were going to sell in the next two or three years … You're not that good." What do you say to that? He was absolutely right. How many millions of those things did they sell? You can't ask for royalties after you've delivered the work, so it was totally stupid and naïve on my part. And he was a really incredible negotiator.
In 1977, when he was 33 and Apple had just five employees, Steve Jobs hired him as a consultant to design the Apple II, one of the first personal computers in history to be successfully mass produced and marketed. Manock gets credit for almost everything but the circuit board and the logic (which was engineered by Jobs' partner and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak): the machine's "thermal management, the structure, the outside aesthetics, the color — beige, Pantone 453, the color of the deep-space universe," Manock says, rattling off his contributions to the once-cutting-edge Apple II, which now looks like a yellowing typewriter on a shelf in his office.
Beside it sits the smaller, self-contained, revolutionary Macintosh. A successor to the Apple II, it was the first personal computer to incorporate both a graphical interface and a mouse in a way that inspired the term "user-friendly." Manock was part of the original team of a half-dozen workers who designed the Mac.

What the Safety Pin & Print Management Have in Common.
Today is Safety Pin Day.
Invented in 1849 by Walter Hunt to pay off a debt with a friend – the safety pin is there for thousands when something goes wrong or your need some support. I thought this was the perfect analogy to explain Print Management.
The Example:
Two companies have a similar product to launch, both are ready to launch, they just need the marketing collateral and POS equipment to sort and they can get it out there.
Company 1 – doesn't have a Print Management Company at it's service.
Company 2 – does! Their safety pin is on the other end of the phone.
While Company 1 is on Google trying to search for "printed shop stand to hold products", Company 2 have already put in a call and sorted half their list. So what does this mean?
The Result:
In half an hour, Company 2 have finished their requirements/specs and everything is ready to be produced. Company 1 have only just found someone online who they think can produce what they need (It turned out they didn't, so they needed more google time!).
This situation isn't abnormal, a lot of companies out there would rather do it all themselves. Usually because there's little understanding of how much their time is actually worth… But in the time it's taken Company 1 to search for one item on their list, Company 2 has theirs all wrapped up. This is a huge deal for anyone launching products in a competitive market.
The Outcome:
Company 2 now have the upper hand, not only do they have more time to dedicate to marketing the product and putting together email/social campaigns to support the literature. Their product will be launched before Company 1's! This aspect alone can make or break an idea or product. In the amazon age, people are expecting speed. You need to be able to respond to fast market changes in a heart-beat. If you can't do that yourself, get help.. ask someone to support you.
One of the benefits of Print Management is that it gives you a quicker route to market. Some more benefits include releasing all the resource in your business to produce the social or email campaigns you need, or simply to get more work done and make MORE MONEY.
If that sounds too good to be true… try it.
Here's to your print freedom

The first thing we are going to talk about is safety. The most important out here today is to make sure that no one gets hurt. This is a golf club. The club is made out of steel. If someone gets hurt with it a lot of damage can be done, so we want to make sure that does not happen. The first thing I am going to ask you to do is that whenever you pick up a golf club I am going to ask you to turn it over and put the head of the golf club in your hands and the butt on the ground. We call that our safety position. Unless I ask you to swing the club that is the position that I want to see the club in. We just mentioned swinging the club, when you swing a club we want to make sure that you do not let go of it. If you let go of the club it is going to fly some place and we do not know where it is going to go. We do not want to have anyone hit with this golf club. So the safety rules we are going to establish right out front to make sure that we keep this a fun and positive experience for you. When I ask you to pick up the club put it in the safety position, when I ask you to swing it please do not let go of it. Let's keep it safe out here today.

I then found I had forgotten a vital piece of equipment - the tripod & head, but I tried a few shots anyway and quickly concluded it was worth going back to the car to get it, along with my brand new "toy" - a Canon EF 100-400 USM II lens, which is my first ever serious zoom lens.
It proved to be ideal for the Stints that were amazingly tame at times, coming well inside the 3.5m close focus distance of my 400mm DO lens. At their closest approach, 400mm was far too much, so the ability to zoom out was also vital (generally unheard of in my experiences of bird photography!).
There were also apparently a couple of Whinchat on the wires on the west side of F2, but I didn't go that far. I did however notice a few Swifts in among the hirundines - it can't be long before they depart.

Evangelical Misogyny and the Spiritual Oppression of Christian Women
Weak women- always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Captives to false teachers. Led astray by their feelings. There is hardly a better way to describe a significant portion – dare I say, the majority – of evangelical women today.
There's plenty of blame to go around. Satan dresses himself up like a Christian and deceives as many as he can. Women (and men, too) give in to the temptation to seek out false teachers who will tell them what they want to hear. Pastors fail to fight off, and in many cases, welcome with open arms, the false doctrine and false teachers creeping into their churches. And the false teachers themselves are out to make a fast buck on false doctrine.
And the result of it all is a generation of evangelical women held prisoner by Satan in the gilded cage of biblical illiteracy and feel-good "Christianity." And most of them don't even know they're inmates.
