Am I a Freak for Wanting This?: A Three-Part Series, Part Three: Polyamory
Amelia feels a warm sensation throughout her body as she thinks about last night. She was wrapped in Scott's strong arms, enveloped in his perfect, nude body. She closes her eyes and thinks about his divine scent. She sighs.
The next day, she was back home with Matthew, her husband and soulmate of twelve wonderful years. She and her husband had both had hot dates with their lovers the night before and their golden rule was to always share their experiences the following day. Matthew adored hearing about Amelia's lustful endeavors with Scott. He really liked Scott, and considered him a friend. However, in the past Amelia found Mathew's exploits much more difficult to listen to, despite their openness. But for some unknown reason, this time seemed different. Matthew had just finished telling her about his date with Valerie, a beautiful, blonde chef he knew from work. He couldn't contain is massive grin as he explained that Valerie had cooked him an amazing four-course dinner and had given him a full-body massage afterwards. Now Amelia was no slouch in the kitchen, but she knew how much Matthew loved to eat! She smiled at her husband lovingly, feeling his joy. She was surprised by her own happiness at this moment and knew she had turned a corner. After they concluded their talk, Matthew gave her a deep hug and kiss and went to play with their kids who had been goofing off in the backyard.
Left with her thoughts, Amelia contemplated her reaction to Matthew's enthusiastic account. She realized that something has changed. Not too long ago, such a story would have made her feel jealous and competitive, something she's been working on since they decided to have an open marriage. But now she felt differently. Instead, jealousy had been replaced by joy and amusement. She laughed quietly to herself, realizing that her reaction to Matthew's story was similar to how she felt when her cat, George, got a good scratch behind his ears. She smiled as she imagined the fluffy feline loudly purring and rolling onto his back with blissful submission as Matthew probably did after his post dinner massage.
Out of curiosity, Amelia decided to do a search on her computer to find out if there's a term for what she's feeling. With a few mouse clicks she found an article by Anita Wagner (a spokesperson and educator in the field of polyamory) that defines a word that encapsulates her experience. She read to herself, "Compersion: A feeling of joy when your primary partner (or anyone you love) shares loving feelings or activities with someone else. Sometimes considered the opposite or flip side of jealousy. "Is this truly possible? she said aloud and then thought to herself, "Yes, I trust Matthew completely. I have no fear and I enjoy watching and hearing about his happiness. Wow, I've come a long, long way.
With further exploration, she finds Anita Wagner's website, practicalpolyamory.com. On the home page she reads Anita's viewpoint on polyamory, which states, "To me, polyamory is the ability and desire to openly, honestly, and romantically love more than one person at a time. Many people find that polyamory offers a more authentic way of expressing who they are and the love they have to share. Amelia stares at the definition and thinks, "And I thought we were just swingers that played separately. It sounds like there is a whole way of life that we weren't fully aware of. This sounds exciting!
Many Loves?
Of all the alternative sexual cultures, polyamory is often the most threatening and misunderstood by society. From a sociological level, polyamory challenges many of our cultural norms and beliefs: the nuclear family, monogamy, romantic love, child rearing and religion. In the first two parts of my three part series, "Am I a Freak for Wanting This, we explored BDSM and swinging, which are shocking enough to those who have not experimented beyond sexual norms. However, with this third and final part to the series, we delve into polyamory, a lifestyle that has been known to baffle and befuddle even the most seasoned explorers of alternative sexual practices.
If you tell a "swing couple that you are in an open relationship, you might be met with a look of confusion and judgment. This reaction is partially due to the rarity of "playing separately within swinging. This initial awkward moment is usually followed by questions, such as, "Aren't you afraid that your partner will fall in love with the other person? However, many polyamorists might say that love and real connection is the whole point. Polyamorists feel it's completely possible to have many loves and that it doesn't need to be a threat to their core relationship. In fact, most would say that it could benefit all involved.
So if you are currently asking yourself, "Am I completely screwed up for liking the idea of having more than one love?, the answer is "No, you are not screwed up. In fact, Christopher Ryan's 2010 book, Sex at Dawn, provides a multitude of strong scientific arguments that purport it's actually monogamy that is unnatural to humans. One of Ryan's points is that pre-agricultural men and women had many sexual partners at any given time and that monogamy is actually a relatively new phenomenon when we look at human history. Although polyamory does not always include sex, this new research, leads one to understand that having multiple loves could easily be an outgrowth of swinger, kink or sexually free communities. So I reiterate, "NO, you are not a freak for wanting this. Actually, it's quite natural.
So What Is Polyamory Anyway?
Does the word polyamory conjure up a mental image of an old, religious man with a long beard surrounded by several underage wives? If so, then we have a lot of educating to do! But have no fear, it will all be clear soon enough. Let's start off by delineating some of the differences between POLYGAMY and POLYAMORY. First, polygamy technically and legally means "many marriages while polyamory means "many loves. Second, polygyny (the prevalent form of polygamy) often stems from male-dominated, religious beliefs, while polyamory more often comes from egalitarian, spiritual philosophies that cultivate male/female equality. They are very, VERY different. Polyamory advocates have put a lot of work into delineating the two concepts for our court systems and media sources. Believe me, my friends, when I say that it's been a frustrating, uphill battle.
Let's try and define these two practices even further.
There are many definitions of polygamy. So let's just focus on the legal definition to reduce confusion. The legal definition just refers to marital partners.
POLYGAMY: According to West's Encyclopedia of American Law, polygamy is "the offense of having more than one wife or husband at the same time. In a nutshell, it means being married to more than one person. There are actually two forms of polygamy. The first, Polygyny, is the state (or practice) of having more than one WIFE at a time. This practice can be found in some splinter sects of Mormonism. Then there's Polyandry, the state (or practice) of having more than one HUSBAND at one time. According to Discovery.com, this form of polygamy is more rare than polygyny, but is practiced by such cultures as the Nyinba people of Nepal.
POLYAMORY: Poly is Greek, meaning "many or "several. Amor is Latin, meaning "love. Polyamory is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Polyamory doesn't always include the legal practice of marriage.
It is common for people to get polygamy and polyamory confused. First off, the words are almost spelled alike and nearly sound the same! But polygamy is a legal term while polyamory is a philosophical idea that embodies love, equality, and abundance that might (or might not) exist in a polygamous relationship. For instance, even if a polyamorist relationship looks like polygyny, such as with a male/female/female triad, each person's wants and needs are considered. This egalitarian cornerstone to polyamory often is not found in the prevalent form of polygamy (called polygyny) due to religious beliefs that insist that the man is the leader of the household and the women are subjugated under HIS law. This practice describes the religious and patriarchal dynamics seen on the HBO series Big Love.
Typically, in true polyamorous relationships, if one member wants to take another lover, he or she could express the desire and openly discuss it with the group. They could all weigh the consequences and talk about how it would affect the other members of the relationship. Respect and communication are two of the most important polyamory cornerstones and it is only through these basic principles that anyone has a chance to feel truly loved.
Who are Polyamorists?
When you think of polyamorists, do you imagine stoned, "free love hippies sprawled across a field of flowers, adorned in psychedelic colors? If so, let's quickly knock down another stereotype that dehumanizes polyamorists. In Meg Barker and Darren Langdridge's 2010 book, Understanding Non-Monogamies, Elisabeth Sheff, Ph.D relays her research findings from a longitudinal study (1996"2003) of polyamorous families in two regions of the United States. In her contributing chapter, "Strategies in Polyamorous Parenting, Sheff's states that her research infers that mainstream poly communities are overwhelmingly white, college educated, middle or upper-middle class with professional jobs. There ages ranged from mid-thirties to late ï¬fties. That's not to say there isn't a fair amount of "groovy people among its ranks, but poly people cannot be defined in such a limited fashion. In fact, most are smart, culturally "hip and have a strong sense of self.
Common Forms of Polyamory
As you investigate polyamory for yourself, begin to think about what configurations might work best for you. With boundless love comes a multitude of possibilities. Here are some of the most common forms of polyamory.
The Triad: Three-way relationships that may be fairly symmetric, with all three pairs being fairly equally involved. The triad often consists of a primary couple in a committed relationship with a third party individual. For example, a married couple, Bridgette and Kyle, are both in a relationship with Denise.
The V: This formation usually consists of an individual with two primaries, but the two primaries are not involved with each other. For instance, Athena is married to Joel and has a boyfriend, Johnny. Johnny and Joel are not sexual with each other, though they might spend time together as friends.
The W: The center peak of the W represents a person who is romantically linked to two partners (the W's two bottom points) who in turn have their own outside partners (the W's outside top peaks). For example, Grant is married to Juliette, but also has a girlfriend Amber. Juliette and Amber are not involved romantically, but each has their own relationships apart from Grant.
Quad: Two couples are in a relationship together. For instance, Jack and Daisy are married. Becky and John have been living together for seven years. The four of them date each other. The foursome may be exclusive or open. It's not unheard of for two couples to (spiritually) marry each other.
The Polyfidelity Group: This version involves a group of people who consider all members as primary and exclusive partners. All members are in relationship with one another and do not date outside of the group.
Mono/Poly Relationship: Sometimes validating needs and wants doesn't lead to both partners playing by the same rules. In a mono/poly relationship, one partner has other physical and/or emotional relationships, while the other remains monogamous.
Poly Swingers: Usually couples, whose relationship evolves into polyamory by way of swinging. They continue to "swing, but become polyamorous within it, seeking relationships with people who share their same ideals. NOTE: Please ask poly swingers to define what the term means to them. Most poly swing couples still adhere to the prime rule of swinging, which is to honor and preserve the primary relationship. However, there are those who identify as swingers who operate more like polyamorists and vice versa. Contradictions exist! The distinctions can be especially confusing with poly swingers. Therefore, it is important to ask potential lovers what their boundaries, rules, wants and desires are before proceeding into a serious relationship.
Poly-daters: Singles who refrain from looking for Mr./Ms. Right, but instead search for Mr./Ms. Primary could be called poly-daters. Some aren't even interested in a primary and would rather be open to many loves without the complication of a hierarchy.
Does Polyamory Equal Promiscuity?
So you might be asking, "Doesn't all of this love get out of control? Surely this is a recipe for disaster! The idea that polyamorists are sex addicts (or even promiscuous) is a stereotype and a myth. As with all relationship lifestyles, such as monogamy, swing, kink, etc., sanctioned or non-sanctioned promiscuity can exist, but this is not the focus of polymory. Ideally, love is at its heart. In fact, not all polyamorous relationships even include sex! And yes, things can get out of control, but that's why only very strong couples or individuals who know their own boundaries should explore being polyamorous. It is not a path that should be chosen lightly just to spice up a dull relationship. Honesty and respect (not cheating) are key elements and this goes for all partners involved. Promiscuity should not be assumed.
Are Polyamorists Commitment Phobic?
Before answering, let's look at the idea of loyalty and commitment through the lens of polyamory. Ask yourself, "Can a person be committed and loyal to one love if that person is also committed and loyal to another? If your gut reaction is no, then take some time to think of a parent's love for more than one child. The parent is expected to be committed and loyal to all of his or her children. Polyamorists simply apply this same logic to their romantic relationships. If anything, it could be argued that polyamorists are more "in love with commitment than monogamous people are, at least in the sense that they are committed to many partners. Polyamory is about abundance and the belief that we shouldn't deprive ourselves in this life, but rather revel in love and affection from all directions!
Polyamory for the Newbie
If you are considering exploring polyamory, then there are a few concepts and dynamics to be aware of. The first is a concept called "New Relationship Energy (NRE) and it's something we should all be aware of, poly or not! Remember, the first time you fell hard for someone? Do you remember your first big crush? Perhaps you stared out the window for long hours dreaming of kissing the object of your desire. You, my friend, were experiencing NRE.
NRE is a drug, plain and simple. It's wonderful and blissful, yet potentially destructive and devastating. The website youramazingbrain.org explains that, when you are newly attracted to someone, chemicals like adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin flood throughout your body like a tsunami, completely taking control of all your thoughts and actions (if allowed). Supercharged with these neurotransmitters, one might have sex every waking moment with their new partner, then (thanks to serotonin) think about them constantly when apart.
At this point, the unaware polyamory newbie might think, "My God, this is the person for me! The passion! The perfection! I've been wasting all these years with my spouse! This is what love is supposed to feel like! If this poor, misguided soul takes action based on these drug-induced feelings, then emotional damage with their primary relationship is sure to follow. NRE fades, plain and simple. With familiarity, the release of these neurotransmitters diminishes and in time, no partner continues to seem perfect like they did in those first few months. We all have flaws and as NRE fades, the little mistakes and nuances become less "cute So be realistic! Remember the biology of human connection and always remember to honor the love who has trusted you with his/her heart.
Another key polyamory concept is that of "compersion. As defined in the story at the beginning of this article, compersion can be described as the opposite of jealousy. It takes a developed trust in your love and a strong internal confidence to skirt jealousy and feel joy when your love speaks fondly of his/her other amorous relationships. That is not to imply that you're less evolved if you experience jealousy. Jealousy is natural and designed to inform us when something does not feel right. However, just because one experiences jealousy, does not mean that one might not experience compersion periodically as well. Look for it. You might have experienced it already and not even recognized it. With awareness, comes cultivation.
So you might be thinking, "How can I get to the point of feeling compersion when jealousy still rules the school! Tell me more about that! Yes, jealousy is a HUGE topic within polyamory. So much so, that it is advisable to read full articles or chapters devoted to the topic. Two sources of information on the topic can be found on the websites, morethantwo.com and lovemore.com. These websites are wonderful resources for many questions regarding polyamory, jealousy and more.
Pros of Polyamory
Authenticity: There are many positives to polyamory. First and foremost, if you have a primary, additional relationships can take away some of your perceived responsibilities to your partner. No longer are you expected to be ALL things for one person. If you don't like your lover's fascination with BDSM or horror movies, then guess what, that's okay!
You can send your lover off to be with someone who does. You get to be your authentic self. You don't have to pretend to love baseball or feel pressure to watch a "Jersey Shore marathon because your mate's interests differ from your own. (Although, I advise you to seriously reconsider a relationship, if there's any "Jersey Shore pre-recorded!) The point is, someone else can fill those needs for him or her. Thus, you and your mate are left to share the things you both truly love to experience together, which always deepens the bond between a couple.
Expansiveness: You will have a greater opportunity to become a more fulfilled person. Other loves will help you discover things about yourself you never knew existed. Now you might say to yourself, "But can't my friends do that? Sure they can, but romantic relationships tend to run deeper and richer. Some of the best lessons about life are learned while holding someone's hand.
Extended family: If you are living with several loves, then they become an extended family that provides a broadened support network for both emotional and financial challenges. This also applies to children in the household. Ongoing research by sociologist, Elisabeth Sheff, Ph.D., indicates that children often benefit from polyamorous households due to a higher household income and increased emotional support. In addition, Sheff states, "Many parents say their children's lives, experiences, and self-concepts are richer for the multiple loving adults in their families. This abundance of support frequently leads to children with higher self-esteem and psychological well-being. That is not to say that polyamorous families do not have challenges as well, especially from the outside community, but the strengths are powerful and vast.
Cons to Polyamory
Not Being the "One and Only: Especially if you are single, not being the one and only in somebody's life might be hard when you have to send your love interest back to their husband or wife. Most people desire to be at the center of somebody's universe. Ideally, most polyamorists attempt to make ALL their loves feel special and honored. But sometimes an individual is left feeling like a "side-kick or disposable. If you find yourself having such thoughts, then it's time to own your feelings and have a voice. If you can't come to some resolution after considerable effort, then seek a relationship that leaves you feeling peaceful and content.
Complications: Being committed to one person is hard enough. Being committed to many loves compounds the difficulties and the potential stressors. If you are considering this path, please don't go into it with blinders on. One has to cultivate amazing skills at setting boundaries and be ready to REALLY communicate. The need to negotiate sleep and date schedules is a given. Spontaneity often becomes impractical and/or impossible. It takes a responsible soul who is ready and willing to hear all their lovers' feelings and attend to them.
Legal Difficulties: Polyamorous families face MANY legal difficulties. They can only marry one person, regardless of how many people might be in a loving relationship with them. This barrier leads to many other legal constraints, such as not being able to add other people to their health insurance. If a girlfriend or boyfriend is in the hospital, they may be denied visitation due to not being immediate family. Other legal matters such as wills, custody agreements, powers of attorney, joint property and medical powers of attorney are all impacted. However, there are websites such as polyfamilies.com and books, such as Opening Up by Tristan Taormino, that offer guidance and suggestions to circumvent these roadblocks to a small or greater degree.
Furthering Your Education
Polyamory is a very complicated way of life therefore beginning your journey fortified with knowledge and community support is highly advisable. For a more comprehensive understanding, please continue to educate yourself with all the wonderful books, articles, podcasts, and websites at your disposal. The following section covers a few.
Books: Although there are many amazing books, here are a few that are the most well-known and well-received. Perhaps start with the how-to bible of polyamory, Dossie Easton's book, The Ethical Slut. A book that stands the test of time is the 1997 book, Polyamory: The New Love without Limits by Dr. Deborah Anapol. And finally, Jenny Block's 2009 book, Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage is a strong third choice. These books will help set you up for success before beginning your adventure into polyamory.
Podcasts: My personal favorite is "Polyamory Weekly, hosted by Cunning Minx. She describes her podcast as supporting "responsible non-monogamy from a kink-friendly, pansexual point of view. She covers all imaginable queries from issues of jealousy to covering the best polyamory conventions and gathering.
Another great podcast is "Life on the Swingset hosted by Marilyn and Cooper. The title leads one to believe that it is only for swingers, but as Marilyn and Cooper state, "There's something here for everybody who subscribes to the notion that sexual exploration and openness is healthy, friendly, and most importantly fun.
Websites: There are so many wonderful websites that it's hard to pick just a few. For general links, resources and area conferences, visit the World Polyamory Association at worldpolyamoryassociation.org.
Another strong website is the Polyamory Society at polyamorysociety.org. The Polyamory Society "promotes and supports the interest of individuals of multi-partner relationships and families and can be a great starting point.
If you need poly friendly professionals (therapists, lawyers, doctors, etc.), check out polychromatic.com. Here you will find a plethora of varied professionals who have identified themselves as being "open-minded about polyamory and polyamorous issues.
Connecting to the Community
So, if you have made it fearlessly this far, then it's time to discuss how to connect to the polyamory community.
Internet Dating Sites: I suggest that you check out Polymatchmaker.com. It's a fantastic polyamory community and dating website that also provides educational tools such as articles, a glossary, links, local support information and forums. Once you connect to their website, they disclose other ways to connect to their community, such as through their Facebook profile or local gatherings.
Okcupid.com is gaining a reputation as being friendly to alternate sexual lifestyles, and unlike some mainstream dating sites, allows users to identify as polyamorous. The site even has a "polyamorous test to help users explore whether polyamory might be right for them. Searching by the interest topic "polyamory is a great way to cut to the chase! Once you have done your research and begun to make personal connections through the web, you can take the final and most exciting step by actually meeting others like you.
Conferences: At Lovingmore.com, you can find information on the next Poly Living Conference. One past attendee proclaimed, "As a Poly Living newbie, my experience overall was awesome and you will be seeing me again! This is a strong conference with a host of nationally recognized speakers and amazing events.
A more general conference is Momentum Conference that is described as providing "a safe place to listen, discuss and learn about sexualities and gender without the fear of reprisal or shaming. It is a space for acceptance and appreciation of diversity, including for those in the LGBTQ, sex-work, BDSM and non-monogamous communities.
Conclusion: Be True to Yourself
There are many paths to fulfillment in life and love. Polyamory is an adventurous path that deviates from the direction many have been conditioned to believe is right and proper. But ask yourself, is love about being obedient to cultural norms? Or is love about following your own truth to the point of rebellion? Emotional expansion begins with respecting and honoring one's own intuition. A heightened ability to love can only branch out from the self-love and awareness we allow for ourselves.
In Deborah Anapol's 1997 book, Polyamory\'The New Love without Limits, she describes polyamory as "A ˜lovestyle' which arises from the understanding that love cannot be forced to flow, or not flow, in any particular direction: Polyamory emphasizes consciously choosing how many partners one wishes to engage with rather than accepting social norms which dictate loving only one person at a time.
Should love be bound, controlled, and shaped by outside cultural forces? Polyamorists would probably say no, but rather invite you to gallop, leap, and skip into the arms of abundance, connecting to all things good and nurturing. With this final note, I wish you well in your own exploration and adventure into all things loving, sensual, and sexual. Polyamory can be a gift\'if it is the right fit for you¦and if you are ready to let the limitless nature of love surround you.

I honestly don't believe this alkaline/acid diet thing. Because, your body maintains that correct pH balance on it's own...if your kidneys are working right. Otherwise you are headed into metabolic acidosis, which I don't think people are walking around with without being pretty ill. There are also digestive mechanisms in place to handle whatever you eat--acid in the stomach to break it down and then when it all enters the small intestine the pancreas releases bicarbonate to buffer so the small intestine doesn't get damaged. The body is pretty smart and can handle a lot. In kidney failure things are different but that's an entirely different thing.

Inching closer and closer to the June 29th release of their highly anticipated album Gravity, metalcore giants Bullet For My Valentine have just released a brand new music video for their emotional and experimental track "Letting You Go."
"'Letting You Go' was a very challenging song to write in so many ways," explains vocalist/guitarist Matt Tuck. "It's by far the most experimental track I've ever written musically and lyrically. I really wanted to make a track that stood out from the crowd and separated us from any other band in our genre, and that's exactly what 'Letting You Go' does."
To check out the band's new heartbreaking track, be sure to look below. Afterward, make sure to not only pre-order Gravity before it hits stores but also grab tickets to see Bullet For My Valentine out on tour here.

About 10,000 family and friends of American Career College graduates gathered this May at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario to celebrate spring graduation.
ACC Chief Academic & Student Experience Officer Susan Pailet said she never gets tired of seeing how proud the grads are about their accomplishments and how excited they get for what's next.
"To see all of these smiles, the pictures, the tears and, most of all, the families -- the families that have been there with our graduates through day and night and all the sacrifices they've made," Pailet said. "We just cannot say thank you enough."
ACC-Los Angeles ADN graduate Aldwin Generoso said he felt lucky to find a career that suited him so well.
"We help other people, we take care of them and that just fits my personality the best and I love it. I mean it's challenging, don't get me wrong but if you stick with it, I say it's all worth it," Generoso said.
ACC-Ontario radiography graduate Lorenzo Vega became interested in the field after his wife started working in healthcare. He never wanted to quit while in the associate degree program, but acknowledged that the long hours of his clinical rotation took a toll. But, Vega quickly added, he knew it was only a temporary hardship for a long-term reward.
"You weigh your options -- a little bit of struggle now, a few rough patches, no money in your pocket and stuff like that, but compared to as soon as you're done you have a skill now that nobody can take away from you," Vega said.
ACC-Orange County medical billing and coding graduate Tristan Moore said he hadn't heard of ACC when he first starting exploring options for school, but he soon became convinced it was the right place for him.
"ACC is a very good college. When I got there the people were helpful, the students were helpful," Moore said. "It's a really good school if you're really focused. Just stick with it if you want a career change, if you have the drive and the goal. Just stick and it's going to pay off at the end."
ACC-Lynwood vocational nursing grad Ruby Rodas admitted becoming a nurse wasn't easy, but with the help of her classmates, her teachers and her family, she persevered.
"In the end, it was worth it," Rodas said. "Being a nurse, if you're able to help one person in your life you've made a difference -- and being a nurse I helped so many people and I'm grateful for that."

Jani-King International Launches Terrorism Prevention Program
Jani-King International, Inc., the world's largest commercial cleaning franchisor, has announced it will begin training its franchisees and employees to provide an additional level of security to the more than 50,000 buildings that Jani-King cleans. Some 10,000 franchisees will be trained to assess potential building and workplace security threats and report them to authorities.
Jani-King believes that an aggressive and proactive approach to terrorism prevention is critical and of benefit to everyone. "The key word here is prevention," says Jani-King President Jerry Crawford. "We want to create a security force multiplier to help reduce the risk of terror threats."
"Jani-King is one of the only businesses where banking institutions, major corporations, educational facilities, nuclear power plants and utilities literally hand over the keys to their buildings and provide access to secure areas," says Crawford. "We feel an obligation to put into action additional measures to help keep these buildings safe."
Crawford explained that Jani-King's new training program would specifically educate employees and franchisees on three key areas that are important to terror prevention: awareness, identification and reporting. "The training will consist of awareness of potential security threats, recognition skills, and proper reporting channels," says Crawford. "Franchise owners will not be trained to confront suspicious persons."
Crawford gave an example. "Our crews clean the same buildings night after night. We see the normal activity. We want our employees to understand how to spot suspicious activity and then how to report it." The security initiative will include input from Andy Bermudez, a former manager with the Department of Homeland Security and current Jani-King franchise owner in the Tampa Bay area. Bermudez has developed training programs for the U.S. Navy and local law enforcement in addition to his role as a security trainer with the Department of Homeland Security. "Implementing an awareness training initiative is a forward thinking plan that will benefit our customers, our employees and the general public," say Bermudez.

This is a very special edit to me. I wanted to express my feelings coming back home, after almost three years on the road. A necessary homecoming that has confronted lifestyles and raised a lot of questions.
Music : Giyo – Earthbound (https://soundcloud.com/gi-yo)
" For the first time in 3 years, I am home. I finally have the chance to spend time and share love with my family and friends. Yet I have never felt so out of sync with the world around me. I can feel the pressure of society's model of life when I naively believed I was immune to it. A part of me is seeking achievement and stability even though I've started to re-examine what it means to be successful in life.
We work hard for our salary to build careers and businesses, sacrificing our immediate freedom in order to accumulate enough of it for later on. But can we ever reach the satisfaction of having enough when everything is made so that you always feel the desire for more? Isn't it a postponement of happiness ? Shouldn't we stop living in expectation and just savour the here and now ? Shouldn't we do the things we love while we still can instead of locking ourselves into a future ?
I choose to live in the present moment and let the experiences and the encounters shape my path. I choose people and nature to be the essence of my life. However it doesn't stop me from being scared, and a thousand questions cross my mind : Why am I doing this ? Why am I leaving my home, my family, my friends and my comfort ? Is it for the thrill of exploring the unknown and learning from others ? Is it a way to find meaning in life ? Or is it only a veil, destined to push away all these endless and disturbing thoughts about the future ? In a certain way, travelling can be seen as an escape. A breakout from society but in the end, doesn't it make more sense to flee towards what we believe in instead of following what we don't ?
I sincerely believe in the importance of travelling as a mean of self realization. Travel grants so many opportunities to share love, thoughts and knowledge with others along the journey, not to mention the incomparable feeling, of freedom. What better way to get an understanding of yourself as well as everything that surrounds you. "

Hello Skunkbad!
I tried removing that, there are no errors, the only thing it returns is warnings about the time usage, that's all. If i execute thiswithout the IF cli check, the logging does happen. So I know the code is working as intended.
This can't be true if only the logging doesn't work - either the entire thing doesn't work under CLI, or you have more errors. You've used $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in there, and that variable doesn't exist under a CLI environment, so there must be a warning about that.
This was the issue!
I did not manage to trigger the error, but removing the $_SERVER is what did it. If i think of it, it's logical it's not available there. Thank you very much!

I don't think it's bland at all, it's one of my favorite Godzilla movies and I consider it one of the better Heisei films. Outside these forums, many other fans agree with me on that. I'm used to having to defend some of my unusual favorites like Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, but this is the first place I've seen a lot of fans throw MG2 in the "Heisei garbage pile" with Mothra and Space Godzilla.
I don't hate GVMG2, but I don't enjoy watching it very much, it is very mediocre and by the numbers. If I liked the human cast more I would probably rank higher, but they all fall a little flat for me. The plot is also very convoluted, kaiju appear and disappear as the plot requires (similar to GVM). The subplot with the Garuda and how it is considered a failure, and then modified to fit on MG to make SMG. The psychic plant song that seems to super charge kaiju when sung by esp youth choir. I also think Rodan is the worst looking Heisei kaiju, the concept look is fine. But it is one of the worst looking prop/suits in the entire franchise, any landing or take off scene is just laughably bad.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he and Vice President Mike Pence are "deeply saddened" about the shooting that occurred at a congressional baseball practice Wednesday morning.
Rep. Steve Scalise, the GOP majority whip, was shot along with several others at a baseball field where the congressional Republican team practices in Alexandria, Virginia.
"The Vice President and I are aware of the shooting incident in Virginia and are monitoring developments closely," Trump said in the statement. "We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected."
The suspected shooter reportedly was armed with a rifle and scope. He is currently in police custody and is "not a threat," according to Alexandria police.
A congressional aide said Scalise was in stable condition at George Washington University Hospital.

Executive, judiciary and legislature are the three main pillars that keep democracy intact. Media is the fourth estate that stands beside these three main pillars. But there are some cracks / loop holes seen on the foundation of this fourth estate. What security do we, the people who sleep under the strong roof of the strongest nation that is built upon these four pillars, have? We face a strong face of insecurity.
Laws like TADA, POTA have been introduced in our country. They are supposed to save human rights but they create lot of injustice and denial of human rights. More than 50,000 people were arrested under these laws but the police could register case against only below 900 people. Others had to remain in the cells for months, some of them for years and some of them died in the prison itself. We discuss the issue of Maudany in this kind of atmosphere we are in.
Let our consciences be with Maudani. Let our consciences also be suffocated with him in the cold, dark prison cell having no proper air circulation. Then all our thousands of choked breath at last burst and may he come out free right to the middle of people, overcoming all the prison cells; as he did in the Coimbatore case. This is what motivated me to speak for him in my first address in the Assembly. I had already asked that day to arrange to do the necessary formalities for him to get proper medicine etc.
Let us fight with all our strengths with the help of thousands of Maudanys until he comes back as a free man to the people. May his effort help the backward and Dalits of Kerala and create a new dawn in the political scenario. To attain this we have to gather as many times; we have to conduct as many peaceful programmes; we have to protest through a number of democratic, plain probes; thus we should awaken the govt. that is in deep slumber or pretending to sleep. Our basic aim is to free Maudani. Let us all be with him with our good minds and consciences.

The union for health and care managers
The development of digital recording technology and the prevalence of smartphones means both employers and employees are increasingly using surveillance footage in the workplace.
Generally, employers use CCTV to record the activities of staff in the workplace, but in some cases they may monitor employees externally. Meanwhile, employees are increasingly – and often covertly – using smartphones to record meetings with managers or conversations with colleagues. These developments present challenges for workers and managers alike, so it's important to properly understand the law in this area.
Widespread use of social media inevitably means that what would previously have been private conversations are now posted online, often for all – including employers – to see. Workers have been dismissed for using social media at work or because of content they have posted online outside working hours. But in our experience, many employees are still ignorant of the risks involved.
The Employment Practice Data Protection Code says that employers must show there is a good reason for monitoring employees' social media activity and consider other less intrusive ways of achieving their goals. They must also ensure workers know they are being monitored and why.
Section 7 of the Human Rights Act states that public sector employers must adhere to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which provides an individual with a right to respect for his or her private life, and to Article 10, which provides a right to freedom of expression.
Although these give workers a legal recourse, they can also support an employer's case. An employer may be permitted to monitor their employees' social media activity if they can justify it as being in the interests of protecting the health, morals or rights and freedoms of others. They may argue that comments by employees have infringed the rights and freedoms of others by damaging the employer's reputation, or that comments about colleagues, for example, amount to harassment.
Using social networking sites at work may be a breach of the employer's internal policy. However, where there is no policy, disciplinary action – including dismissal – may be unreasonable.
The use of secret recordings by employers is difficult to justify, except in exceptional circumstances and when authorised by senior management. Covert monitoring could be used, for example, for the prevention or detection of a crime. The Employment Code states that it should form part of a specific investigation and should never be used in areas that workers would genuinely and reasonably expect to be private.
One case involved an employee who was recorded playing squash when he should have been at work. An appeal tribunal held that the employee did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, as he was in a public place, playing squash in his employer's time – which amounted to him being, fraudulently, engaged in his own business while being paid by his employer.
Generally, if an employee has secretly recorded an internal meeting or hearing with the employer, a tribunal will consider whether the evidence is relevant, but only if the employee was present when the recording was made and a transcript has been provided to the tribunal.
Covert recordings of the employer's private discussions will not usually be admissible if the employee was not present when the recording was made. However, the balance of public interest between preserving the confidentiality of private discussions and admitting relevant evidence could be adjusted if, for example, the case relates to allegations of discrimination and the recording is the only evidence of this.
Employees should also ensure they are familiar with their terms and conditions of employment and their employer's policies, as the recording of disciplinary meetings may expressly be prohibited. If an unauthorised recording came to light, it may be deemed to be an act of misconduct. Even if the issue arises after the employee has been dismissed, the employer could still argue that the employee's breach of contract means it is 'just and equitable' for a tribunal to reduce the amount of any compensation to be awarded for unfair dismissal.

Police are treating the death of a woman in the Perth suburb of Hilton as a suspected murder.
The body of the woman, 62, was found inside a house in Nicholas Crescent about 1:00am by police.
Police and paramedics this morning were at the house, not far from the Hilton Primary School.
Two people have been taken into custody and are being questioned by police.
The ABC understands detectives from the major crime unit have taken charge of the investigation.
A neighbour, Kylie, who didn't want her surname published, said she heard screams in the early hours of the morning.
"I heard a man screaming, I could hear it in the distance, and I heard a lady yelling profanities," she said.
"I was going to ring police but not even 5-10 minutes later you could see the police lights going past."
Kylie said she feared tension between families in the area would escalate following the death.
"With the families feuding and everything else, something is going to happen, there's going to be retaliation," she said.
Kylie said there could be between 10-20 people living at the property at any given time.
"There's always people out front, people climbing in and out of the windows," she said.
"But the lovely, older lady that lives there always tries to keep them under control."

Media Campaigns:
At its essence, PR is about story telling — and every business and organization should have many great stories about which the media is interested. In the 21st Century's 24/7 news cycle and thousands of TV, radio, print and on-line media outlets, targeted pitches with "media landing" outcomes are key.
Media landings report outlining the media attention generated for clients — 2017/2018, Q1 thru Q2.
Our media pitching campaigns: Best efforts are used to generate PR exposure with our clients acknowledging and understanding that a PR team has no control over what the media covers and/or writes and cannot offer guarantees about any particular coverage the client might receive.
- Newsworthy story angles with a focus on selected PR themes developed and written and are tweaked to align with media outlet "theme(s)."
- Clients are pitched to media outlets (TV, radio, print, digital) using established messaging and spokesperson(s) provided.
- Basic interview tip sheet/talking points provided.
- Media training is available.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for information about our General Monthly Retainers or Pay-Per-Landing which are month-to-month and require only a two-month minimum.

Depth test. see deeper
The deepest reach
The new GPR Roteg is constantly being upgraded. Now we bring longer maximal time window. However it's tricky to document the depth range. A well-documented site with voids in known depths have to be found and measurements on the surface must be feasible. In previous campaigns, reflections from a depth of 90 m (The Amateur Cave, Czechia), resp. 200 m (Postojna Caves in Slovenia) have been matched to documented caves and cracks. Particular reflections on images from Hranice karst site (Czechia) had also been linked to recently discovered caverns adjacent to Hranická Abyss.
Several geophysicists question reflection from geological interfaces in depths around 500 m and claimed 25 MHz antenna system's reach up to 40 m at maximum. Surface waves from far metallic objects or filtered-in artifacts were supposed to cause the deep reflection from scientists' point of view. Nevertheless, such metallic object were not found in corresponding distances! The issue went so far that an article about deep measurements was not published.
To defence our results, we designed a survey in old limestone quarry of Malá Dohoda close to Ostrov u Macochy, Moravian Karst region. Almost vertical walls lines the quarry floor, located 30 m below the surrounding terrain, eliminating surface reflections even on long distances. The wave propagates straight-forward and no reflections from far-located metallic conduits could be sensed.
We set the time window up to 16 000 ns, which should cover up to 1 000 m in limestones. Towing the antenna on quarry surface provides optimal measuring conditions. A 190 m long profile spans whole quarry length, a 28 m long perpendicular profile covers the width. Measurement details were as follows: 25 MHz antenna, 20 kV pulse transmitter, 10 cm trigger interval, 57 260 samples, stacking up to 10 to suppress noise from 4.8 km far Kojál radio transmitter (emitting an overall wattage of 600 kW on frequency interval 87-778 MHz). One km distant geological section, constructed from deep-drilling cores HV101 and HV102 (on the right), provides comparison to measured data.
False, air waves from surface objects could theoretically arise at times around 200 ns, but not such a feature is seen there. If some were, nevertheless, reflected, they must have travelled into the area outside of the quarry and couldn't reach back into the receiver antenna. A power line of high voltage, located 320 m aside from our profile, would create a continuous line reflection accross the whole radargram at times around 2 130 ns. Neither feature like that was recorded. The image is, then, not affected by the air waves from distant objects. So what is it, drawn in the radargrams?
Strong reflections down to 300 m depth are predominantly generated on carst voids and cavities. Nearly horizontal interface in the depth of 475 m incides with limestone rock type alterations. The deeper strata is characterised by horizontal layering up to depths of 780 m, below where the combination of sandstone, conglomerate and graywacke should appear. Further down, a granite plume should be seated, possibly forming the interface at depths around 860 m.
Detected interfaces on the radargram comply well with both the stratigraphy from the nearby geological section and the characteristic reflection shapes for the particular rock types and undulated interface below 750 m depth. For time-depth conversion a characteristic value of 0.12 m/ns was chosen as it was calibrated on several known undergroung caves nearby (Amateur and Holstein cave, e.g.). Then, the difference in depths given by radargram comparing to the geological section is about 20 % – in sense GPR brings deeper location of interfaces. The section, however, is located one km from the site and beside others, it was constructed from seismic measurements, which demand velocity estimations, too.
A perpendicular profile is shown on the left and a detail of the voids up to 300 m depth from the previous radargram is on the right.
Beside measurements in ice, far different to the surveys in rocks, you probably won't find any radargrams spanning down to a 200 m depth, either on the internet or elsewhere.
We expect these survey results to be leading to antagonistic reactions. The raw data can be provided so we can assure anyone interested, that nothing was artificially added to the data. Only gain, trace averaging and frequency filtering (to eliminate the signal from Kojál radio station) were applied. We don't mind measuring this or any other, geologically documented profile again to show the GPR Roteg capabilities (any questions, ideas or contact welcome).

Quarterly multi asset update webinar
Amid the political and economic uncertainty across the globe, what are the main factors affecting investors and the implications for asset allocation? Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset at Royal London Asset Management, considers these points in his latest webinar.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments and the income from them is not guaranteed and may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

I tried a Restore to verify that all files had been backed up correctly.
The Project Log showed that the Restore had failed for 3 files, which had the message: Access is denied (Code: 5)
This is very worrying, as one of the files is very important, and I need to be sure that it can be restored in the event of a disaster.

A day before the Samsung Unpacked event in Barcelona, I had the exclusive opportunity to a brief hands on with the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge devices. Generally, Samsung didn't reinvent the wheel and chose to build upon the success of the Galaxy S6. What do I think about the latest flagship from Sammy? Read on.
In a nutshell, the Galaxy S7 will look and feel familiar to you. From the offset, you will be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the outgoing S6 and the successor. You still get the beautiful metal chassis and gorgeous (if a bit of a fingerprint magnet) 3D glass back.
Refined and better
What's different though, is that the pronounced camera bump on the S6 is now gone. On the S7 it's been shaved to just 0.46mm, quite a mean feat to say the least. It hides the fact that it has an all-new camera module with a kick-ass fast lens. More about that later.
But that's not all. It seems that Samsung has been paying attention to the feedback it was getting from fans and customers. It's put back what it took out from the previous Galaxy S5 – microSD; and dust- and water-resistance. The S7 has a built-in hybrid SIM slot that can either take two nano-SIMs, or a single SIM and microSD card. Evidently, storage can be upgraded to a whopping 200GB.
Taking the flagship device fight further, the S7 now features IP68 rated dust- and water-resistance. The ports have been treated with a special nano coating that protects the internals, without the inconvenience of protective flaps. This is similar to what's found on the new Xperia Z5. For kicks, I tested water resistance by pouring a bottle of mineral water over it, short of dunking it in a fishbowl.
On the display side of things, the S7 sticks with the 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display, while the S7 edge gets a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED double curve edge display.
In this day and age, instant notifications and being 'always on' is essential. The new S7 features an Always-On Display that shows you time, date, calendar and customizable notifications. Thanks to AMOLED display technology coupled with a new display driver, it helps to keep you connected, while remaining energy efficient. A Samsung rep informed me that this feature is only available on the current S7 and will be integrated to future flagship devices.
The edge does more
On the S7 edge, the dual edge gains more features. Edge UX has been given a boost with more enhanced features and convenience. Added options to Apps Edge, Task Edge and People Edge make the edge less of a gimmick and more useful. You can now customise the edge further, including adding transparency, as well as adding folders to Apps Edge.
Under the hood, the S7 is powered by either Samsung's own octa-core Exynos, or Qualcomm Snapdragon. This is mated to 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM with 32GB of storage. Samsung claims the S7 is 30% faster than the S6 in terms of CPU power, and over 60% faster in graphics.
Phone top cake
2015 was the year Samsung dominated in terms of phone camera performance. The brilliant 16MP f/1.9 main shooter on the S6, S6 edge and S6 edge plus truly pushed the envelope in terms of mobile imaging performance.
With the S7, things get even more interesting. The new camera module is a 12MP Dual Pixel camera, with a superfast f/1.7 lens. Samsung's Dual Pixel camera module is the first in the world. The camera uses bigger pixels, increasing from 1.12um pixel size to 1.4um pixel size. The combination of these changes helps deliver 95% more light. Autofocus is immediate and stupendously fast, as demoed during the preview. Even blows the already fast S6 camera out of the water. Impressive indeed.
The S7 gets a 3,000mAh battery, while the S7 edge, an even larger 3,600mAh. Both supports Samsung excellent rapid fast-charging technology, as well as wireless fast charge.
The ultimate mobile gaming machine
It's a little bit of a surprise that Samsung has chosen to focus on gaming for the S7. That being said, this baby flies in terms of performance and a bigger battery helps give you more juice for more gaming hours. To show that it's not half-hearted in driving gaming as a selling point, the S7 has a nifty water-cooling system, much like a gaming PC. A copper pipe containing liquid helps to channel and dissipate heat, to help cool the device down when it's being pushed.
Taking that a step further, the S7 also has a Game Launcher where you can manage battery consumption for your game time, and reduce notifications while you're in-game. Nothing is more annoying than when you're playing NFS and a WhatsApp message pops up in your face, disrupting game play. And there's more. It allows you to take snapshots, or even record video of your game play too. Very cool.
Integrated in the S7 is Vulkan API. This is something you'll be hearing a lot this year, in terms of mobile gaming. Vulkan is an open source framework that's more advanced and capable than OpenGL ES (the long-standing standard for graphics). What you get is more incredible graphics and lower power consumption (hence a cooler device and longer gaming hours).
Samsung has gone crazy with accessories for the S7. The coolest by far is the Lens Cover, a unique cover that enables you to plug in exterior lenses for your device. The kit includes a Fisheye and Telephoto lens. There's also an improved Keyboard Cover, LED View Cover and a OTT-looking Game Pad. Additionally, there's a Wireless Charger for convenient and fast charging.
The game is set
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge looks to be phones to beat so far this year. They look and feel great, and backed by performance to boot. I'm personally highly impressed with the new camera, just as I was impressed with the camera on the S6. It's pretty cutting edge in terms of mobile camera performance.
Samsung didn't re-invent the wheel, so to speak. But I guess it didn't have to because its predecessor the S6, was already so damn good. That being said, it didn't rest on its laurels and I think it has delivered the goods in every aspect, and IMHO, will do very well this year.

5 Stories of Innovation from South Australia
20 Sep 2019
The BWSC is in good company in South Australia, with the state known well as the innovation capital of Australia, and the home to a myriad of exciting projects in technology.
In the past few years innovation is become one of the state's key outputs. Just looking around the City of Adelaide it's easy to see innovation brought to life; the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Insitute, and the currently in progress Lot 14 site on North Terrace.
There's a burgeoning hub for startups, entrepreneurs, and international tech companies looking to find a new home. Only in the last couple of years, many of South Australia's industries have welcomed world-class projects and companies.
Some are even out of this world - the Australian Space Agency will be based in Adelaide, with a new HQ in the Lot 14 site, making Adelaide the space capital of Australia.
As the home of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, South Australia is also honoured to be the host of so many incredible advancements in solar and electric vehicle technology as a result of the BWSC. Just look at Lightyear, a company run by a group of BWSC alumni.
With this year's result still unknown, for now you can read about 5 other exciting stories of innovation in South Australia around renewable energy.
First Electric Vans Assembled
Formerly housing the Mitsubishi Motors main assembly building, the Tonsley Innovation District has now home to the first ACE-EV (Australian Clean Energy Electric Vehicle Group) electric cargo van.
The carbon fibre composite van is quiet, solid and high quality, showing huge potential for the future.
"It has taken us a million dollars to get where we are today," Greg McGarvie, managing director of ACE-EV said.
"My ambition is to work at it until at least 50 per cent of the car comes from South Australia.
"That will be a higher local content than Holden ever had."
The ACE-EV cargo bay (right) has a capacity of 500 kilograms, giving the vehicle a range of 200 kilometres.

Solar-Powered Furniture the Way of the Future
Adelaide-based engineering company Specialised Solutions has created an innovative range of smart shelters, including park benches, parklets and bus stops.
Built from sustainable timber and steel, the shelters have solar-powered lighting, integrated charging ports, WIGI and info screens that all run off of a battery.
Bronte Modra, the director of Specialised Solutions, created the Sedi range of shelters to fill a gap in the Australian manufacturing market, following the growing 'smart city' movement.
"People want to be connected to the furniture and to the web, and the greater society," said Modra.
"Everyone talks about smart cities but no one is really delivering a piece of smart furniture here.
"We just saw a real need and something that we could make out of our existing facility."
Modra and Specialised Solutions hope to see the Sedi range throughout Australia, particularly in regional areas. The tourism hot spots such as national parks will be perfect places for the Sedi range, giving tourists WIFI access, in an eco-friendly way. They also plan to export internationally.

50 Solar Farms in South Australia
Yates Electrical Services, based in Renmark, started its Red Mud Green Energy project 2 years ago with a 187kW commercial solar farm. Since then, 50 farms have been built up to 1MW in size.
Currently 80% of the farms are in the South Australian Riverland, but there have also been plants built in the Eyre Peninsula and the Mid North.
"We've built about 50 plants now since we started a couple of years ago so it's been really, really busy and we've probably done a touch over 20MW now."
The Riverland is about 250km east of the South Australian capital Adelaide and stretches for 120km along the banks of Australia's biggest river, the Murray", Yates Electrical Services Managing Director Mark Yates said.
"The majority of the clients are in agribusiness whether it be broad acre, vines or citrus and we've had a couple of clients doing it purely for investment purposes utilising self-managed superannuation money and pure equity investors as well," he said
Yates said the concept of solar farming and people's acceptance of it had become a lot more mainstream since he first had the idea for the Red Mud Green Energy project in 2015.
"The farming we are getting into has progressed a long way since we started, people are becoming a lot more comfortable and are starting to understand the concept of solar farming whereas a few years ago it was a bit of a pie in the sky idea," he said.
"But now we've demonstrated the viability of it, it just makes it a simple business decision for an investor or a landowner to take up an offering of a solar farm and add it to their existing farming or investment portfolio."

National Robotics Competition at Home in Adelaide
This December the Australian finals of the International VEX Robotics Competition will host more than 700 students in Adelaide.
The competitions sees teams of primary and high school students design and build a robot that can win a game-based engineering challenge. A select few teams will progress to the international finals in Louisville, Kentucky.
South Australian was picked for its status as the innovation state of Australia, said Nicole Champagne, VEX Robotics Australia and New Zealand sales director.
VEX Robotics Australia and New Zealand sales director Nicole Champagne said South Australia was picked for the Australian finals because of its status as the innovation state and strong backing from the state government.
"When it comes to what's actually happening, you can really see South Australia coming up with all the exciting new opportunities", she said.
The competition set a Guinness World Record in April 2018 as the largest robotics competition in the world, with more than 30,000 competitors. Each year the finals are attended by organisations such as Google, Tesla and NASA.

Australia's First Electric Motorbike Launched in Adelaide
Adelaide is now home to the new Fonzarelli NKD electric motorbike and its charging stations.
Founders Michelle Nazzari and Simon Modra had previously been working on their own start-ups in sustainability and electric vehicles, before they came together for an exciting new project.
Nazzari launched her first electric scooter in 2012-13 under the brand Fonzarelli, later connecting with Modra around charging stations for the NKD Electric motorbike.
The electric dual-sport mini motorcycle has a range of up to 120kms and can produce 6000 RPM and a top speed of 100 km/h.
Modra, who is also an architect and Future Submarine design researcher at the University of South Australia, jumped at the chance to collaborate with Nazzari on the NKD project and convinced her to manufacture the charging stations and bike in South Australia.
"It's a legitimate form of transport – there are many motorcyclists out there who don't have a car and we're lucky battery power has become so reliable now and Peter [Coombs – Chapter president of Design Institute of Australia] did give the hat-tip to Tesla," Modra said.
"The Fonzarelli technology can be retrofitted to older motorcycles – potentially expanding the customer base for this product throughout high-use motorcycle populations in the countries across the Southern Hemisphere.
"The idea at the moment is to solidify ourselves here in Australia, but we've got strong interest from around the world," said Nazzari. Modra said the motorcycle has got a bit of iRobot or Gattaca about it.
The Fonzarelli NKD bike is made to order. Base model pricing starts from $9,990AUD and early adopters will be able to have their bikes ready for the Australian summer.

Maintenance Of Diaphragm Vacuum Pump
In order to ensure excellent performance and longer service life, there are certain inspection and maintenance for the diaphragm vacuum pump that needs to be well observed and performed periodically.
Maintenance Precautions
Before the start of any operation, it is necessary for the workers to examine the wiring connections considering personal safety. Under normal circumstances, the pressure knob should remain in a tightened state when the vacuum pump is running.
Decompression operation should be only conducted on certain occasions. If the voltage is unstable, remember to reduce the pressure continuously while observing the pressure change. Never clean the diaphragm vacuum pump with organic compounds, acids, corrosive and flammable solvents. Do not lubricate any part of the pump, otherwise, it will shorten its service life.
Daily Inspection
First of all, the diaphragm vacuum pump must be placed in a dry, clean and well-ventilated area all the time. Also, it is better to coil the wire around the pump when it is not used. In case that a low airflow rate, overheating situation or excessive noise would show up because of the dirty filter material, it is quite essential to check the filter material regularly.
