Blogger Matthew Roberts regularly publishes taken using a quadcopter videos that demonstrate the process of building a new headquarters Apple Park.
At the end of last week, he posted a fresh video in which we demonstrate the changes that have occurred at this facility over the last year. Since that time, the builders managed to get closer to the final stage, at the main building were the final touches on site and installed lighting at the moment are actively working with the landscape.
Apple Park will include space for 13,000 employees, the area of the main structure will be 260 000 m2. All employees have a Parking space, on a multi-level Parking with 300 charging stations for electric vehicles. Also on site are seven dining and a large three-storey restaurant on 3 000 people, an underground conference room named after Steve jobs on 1,000 people, a Wellness center, a center of research and development area of 28 000 m2 and other buildings.
It was originally planned that the headquarters of Apple Park, which will cost about $5 billion, will be ready by the end of 2016. Then it was reported that the opening will take place in April, however, it is clear that the landscaping will last for some time.

It looks like Crazy Conte will be the next Chelsea boss. In the last couple of days rumours have been pouring in from all kinds of sources, both reliable and unreliable, both local and global, that Chelsea have opened talks with the current Italy boss, whose contract expires after the 2016 Euros. And Italian journalist Ginanluca Di Marzio, who has been probably the most reliable Chelsea news source over the past few years, has confirmed that we have met with Conte's representatives all day yesterday and has even described talks as "very positive"
The report, along with others, goes on to say that Conte will sign a 3-year deal with us and is set to be paid-a little- less than what Mourinho used to get from our wallet, so it looks to be a financially sound deal, and nothing like the silly numbers that were thrown about when Guardiola was rumoured to be our target.
Recent reports have also said that the man formerly thought to be ahead in the race for the Chelsea job, Max Allegri, is set to renew his current Juventus deal after their exceptional revival in Seria A, while other, less likely contenders have all sort of awkwardly fell of the rumour map. That's how fast things change in football these days.
If the deal goes through, we will get a manager who is proven to be a serial winner, an astute tactician (I'm not too big on the whole five defenders at the back, though), and great motivator (for more information on that, you can read Pirlo's autobiography). Conte has done a splendid job with The Old Lady of Italy both in terms of winning trophies and developing players, the most prominent example being Paul Pogba, of course. And in our luck, we have the English version of the French midfielder in Ruben Loftus Cheek, so the prospect of having our own youngster develop into a world class player adds to the excitement of this all. Since the rumours started in the last couple of days, we've been linked with plenty of former (Vidal) and current (Pogba) Juve players, but I'm hoping he would be willing to work with our current talent and make just a few additions rather than flip over the majority of our team.
All in all, this seems to be the best, or at least one of the best, appointments we can make right now. So let's just pray that the eggs that we are boiling with this deal don't get broken and we end up with Juande Ramos, instead.

The Damaging Myth of the Rogue Employee
As long as 24 years ago, Lynn S. Paine wrote about the myth of the rogue employee in the Harvard Business Review (HBR), in an article entitled "Managing for Organizational Integrity". In this article she wrote, "executives are quick to describe any wrongdoing as an isolated incident, the work of a rogue employee. The thought that the company could bear any responsibility for an individual's misdeeds never enters their minds. Ethics, after all, has nothing to do with management. In fact, ethics has everything to do with management." How prescient she was in her article.
For it is management who sets the tone throughout the organization, whether that is something along the lines of a wink and a nod towards ethics and compliance or the more ubiquitous miss your numbers for two quarters and you will be history, Paine noted, "More typically, unethical business practice involves the tacit, if not explicit, cooperation of others and reflects the values, attitudes, beliefs, language, and behavioral patterns that define an organization's operating culture. Ethics, then, is as much an organizational as a personal issue."
However a company's responsibility is more than simply to set the right tone then sit back and do nothing. The drafters of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) recognized this when they included the requirement for internal controls to be included in the law. For, as Paine said, "Managers who fail to provide proper leadership and to institute systems that facilitate ethical conduct share responsibility with those who conceive, execute, and knowingly benefit from corporate misdeeds."
Yet the myth of the rogue employee is more than a simple myth. It is also a dangerous myth. It is dangerous because it excuses negligent or intentional corporate behavior. That was the reaction I had when I read a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article explaining how "A French labor court Tuesday awarded Jérôme Kerviel, the Société Générale SA (SocGen) rogue trader convicted in 2010 of bringing the bank to the brink of collapse, a total of €450,000 ($511,000) because he was fired without "real or serious cause."" For those of you who may not remember, Kerviel was criminally convicted for engaging in trades which cost the bank €4.9bn back in 2007 and 2008.
In the French labor court decision, it noted, "Société Générale "could not pretend it hadn't long been aware of the unauthorized trades conducted by Mr. Kerviel"." The judges went on to note, "The bank therefore can't argue that Mr. Kerviel was at fault when it "previously tolerated similar practices"." While SocGen protested, in a statement that the ruling was "incomprehensible" it did not deny the basic underlying facts that Kerviel's "managers were aware of his activities and turned a blind eye as long as he made money for the bank."
The New York Times (NTY), in an article by Nicola Clark entitled "Société Générale Is Ordered to Pay Trader Who Almost Ruined It", said, "The ruling, by a panel of employers and trade union representatives, is covered by French confidentiality laws so it has not been made public. Yet it appears to accept, at least in part, Mr. Kerviel's argument from the start: namely, that his managers — many of whom quietly left the bank after the scandal — turned a blind eye to his activities and even tacitly encouraged them, as long as his deals were profitable." One of Kerviel's lawyers, David Koubbi, was quoted in the NYT for the following, "This is a huge victory. It is recognizing for the very first time that Société Générale knew everything about his activities, which is a very big thing."
Lest you think that the above ruling was the result of some French pro-labor types going crazy, consider the following. In 2104, an appellate court, France's Court of Cassation, reversed a trial court's ruling that Kerviel must "compensate Société Générale for the full €4.9 billion that it lost in the affair." The appellate court found "that the lower courts had failed to take proper account of the weaknesses in the bank's own risk-management procedures at the time."
This French labor court decision crystalizes the danger of the myth of the rogue employee. Companies use this excuse to shield themselves from the responsibility of preventing bribery and corruption before they occur and then use the same myth to claim they cannot detect it after it happens. Both responses can be catastrophic for companies, leading to massive fines and penalties for violations of anti-bribery laws such as the FCPA or direct losses from trading such as those sustained by SocGen. The French labor court essentially held that Kerviel could not be held liable because SocGen had failed to properly oversee his work.
Mike Volkov, in a blog post entitled "The Myth of the Rogue Employee", noted that illegal conduct such as that under the FCPA does not occur "in a vacuum." He explained "There are other employees with whom the person interacts, there are financial controls in place to protect against such misconduct, there are reporting mechanisms for employees to report suspicious activity, and there is likely to be someone in the organization who is close enough to the bad actor, or responsible for the conduct of the bad actor, and who suspected or should have suspected that the actor was engaged in misconduct." Moreover, the more sophisticated the scheme, the more actors are involved and the more controls are overridden or disregarded as he explained, "As the misconduct becomes more complicated, like in the case of bribery or antitrust violations, where such schemes require additional actors or raise red flags or where others are in a position to know or suspect that misconduct may have occurred".
The three basic tenets of a best practices compliance program are to prevent, detect and remedy. By claiming employees who engage in bribery and corruption have 'gone rogue'; companies are attempting to divest themselves of responsibility for actions from which they benefit, particularly if the bribery and corruption generated business sales and revenue. Yet the failure to prevent and detect can cause massive financial losses outside of penalties and fines, as shown by the experience of SocGen and its former trader Jérôme Kerviel.
The myth of the rogue employee is more than a simple myth. It is also a dangerous myth.Click to tweet

Journal entry by Maggie Wakefield —
Things start to blur in my memory a little as we get to the actually hospitalization part. But I'll tell you what I do remember. I know that when we arrived at the ER for the third time, my mom and stepdad went inside and got a wheelchair and then put me straight from the car into it. They wheeled me into the waiting room and told me however long the estimated wait was. The other night had been barely a wait at all, but since it was mid-afternoon on a Thursday, things were a bit busier this time. But this was NOT going to work for me. It was getting really really hard to sit up in a chair, I needed to lie down, so I pushed them to express the sense of urgency to the receptionist. She noted my state and then thankfully proceeded to skip me ahead; I was brought into a room in the back and helped into a bed. Wow, things were so much worse than two nights before. My last time in the ER I was at least able to assist in the transfers, but I had almost fully lost all of my strength. I still had a good bit of movement through muscles…I could wiggle my feet and kind of lift my knees when lying down, which perhaps is part of the reason for my misdiagnosis… but having the strength to resist the pull of gravity and bear the weight of my own body was another story.
Time passed and blah blah blah, and eventually they admitted me to the neurology floor. This hospital admittance was not surprising to me, but I thought it was clear that I needed some immediate attention which was not provided. For me, coming to the hospital this time was me admitting that I could not fix or diagnose whatever was wrong on my own; but I had a different understanding of how pressing my situation was…I guess because I had been the only one to truly and fully witness and experience how extremely quickly I had deteriorated day by day, hour by hour. But anyways, I didn't get that immediate care but waited, as is protocol, until the doctor would make daily rounds the next day for my assessment. I waited, and wow, did that time pass slowly. I barely slept that night (I needed help to even be positioned for sleep; I don't know if everyone is this way, but I apparently readjust a lot in my sleep which became apparent when I couldn't readjust on my own, no longer having muscles that responded to these wishes). But THANKFULLY (I thought), the morning finally arrived, shifts changed, I got a new nurse, and the rest of the world was waking up. However, the hand on the clock seemed to pass just as slowly as the night, and we bugged the nurses often to ask when the doctor would see me. While we waited, my family and the nurse urged me to order food for breakfast and then lunch and after much nagging, I finally agreed to food. It was getting SO much harder to swallow though, and I had pretty much lost my whole appetite, energy and motivation to eat though my stomach was grumbling loudly. I also struggled to see or read the menu, or honestly even to hold it over my head with a steady-enough hand that allowed my eyes to squint and try to read. My mom read it to me and I ordered some potatoes and watermelon and other things to fill my stomach that would be easy to swallow. But the mashed potatoes were tough to push past my tongue and down my throat so I settled on some cubes of watermelon and called it a day.
Finally the doctor came in with her PA to assess me. Relief flooded me, though I'll admit I was a little frustrated by this point …it had been almost an entire 24 hours in the hospital by the time I was getting care. In hindsight, I was also getting scared and upset because I was losing control of myself/the world as I knew it as the seconds ticked by. I had a lump in my throat, but I was ready for her to tell me what was wrong so that we could fix it.
For my initial assessment, she had everyone leave the room (my mom later told me she was unhappy about this request of the doctor, but it didn't bother me). Then once it was just me, the PA, and her, she asked me to lift a muscle this way, move another muscle that way, asked a couple of questions, and then clearly came to a conclusion.
Actually, by the way she talked to me during the assessment, it seemed like she had already decided on a diagnosis before she even walked in the door. I'll also mention that she had a surgical mask over her mouth this first time, and every interaction following. Maybe she had been sick, or maybe it was precautionary in case I was contagious; she never gave a reason for it. Not that she owed us one, but it did kind of rub me the wrong way. I know I'm letting my opinions influence my bias towards her, but it really gave me the same feeling as if I walked in an interview and my interviewer had sunglasses on the whole time, something that would be completely unacceptable for the interviewee to do. I'm generally pretty solid at judging character, and I typically give the benefit of the doubt until given a reason to think otherwise…but it just felt impersonal and judgmental, and her tone mixed with the mask honestly made me not trust her from the get-go. But let's get back to the facts.
During my initial assessment, TWICE, she said some variation of "you're just not trying hard enough." Which if you know me AT literally ALL, you know that that description has not accurately described anything in my life, maybe ever; I work too hard on all things, most of which probably don't matter at all in the scheme of life, and that's my vice, not the former. Gosh, I almost cried right then and there; I had expected so much from this doctor and she definitely wasn't giving me a sense of peace or being heard/feeling understood. She seemed in a hurry and didn't really ask me for my experience, or at least didn't listen to my response or my own take on what was happening to my own body. There were a few blatant errors in her interactions with me, this being one of them—I have friends in med school and I KNOW it's stressed highly that they learn from the patient and hear what they have to say…this is where so much additional information or evidence can come from that may not show up quantitatively. Also, my full voice was long gone and it was getting harder to push words out in between deep breaths of air. My normal self would've demanded that she hear me out and would've used my voice to express my doubts and demand more answers, but my confused and scared self could not and did not use whatever voice I had left to command this doctor or demand different answers than the ones she was giving and putting in my mouth for me. When she felt confident in her assessing she had my mom come back in the room and reiterated the same things she had just told me, but the main thing that I remember was she again repeated to my mom that I wasn't trying hard enough. UGH!!!!
A note on this for current or future doctors and nurses from a past patient—your job is stressful, YES. You don't know everything, SO acceptable. But typically when you walk into a hospital room, your patient and family/friends are nervous, feeling out of control, and their worlds may be crumbling before them. You might not have the answers but letting them know that you hear them and are on their team makes all the difference. You have gained a certain power in earning the title Doctor, so gosh, please use it well. Gaining their trust and using those people-skills and bedside manner that you learned along the way is actually so important. …Probably part of the reason you chose the occupation that you're in is to help people, and you might get to do that on a large scale by finding some cure, but for SURE you have the opportunity to do that every single day, even if it's in the life of one person at a time. The human body and health is such a giant ocean that we have such a small understanding of, so may we remember that first and foremost we are all human beings, and may that remind us to approach others with humility.
I'll also mention that I did have a general physician assigned to me while I was on the neurology and she was GREAT. She sensed our concern, did any and every test she or we could think of, even if she was 95% sure it wasn't that thing she was testing for. Everything came back negative, which I guess was comforting as our more serious fears came back negative…things like MS, etc. An infection of the throat, we asked? She did a full culture swab of the back of my throat to test for any and every infection or virus. A tumor in my brain or on my spine? An MRI was ordered of my head and then my entire spine (honestly, this may have been ordered by the neurologist—I can't remember for sure).
(These first MRI's were definitely one of THE most miserable experiences if I had to pick a handful. I wasn't really prepped at all, so being put into a tiny claustrophobic tube for 45 minutes when you can't do so much as lift an arm or leg is slightly terrifying. I was literally doing breathing exercises to try and pass time without freaking out because I thought if I asked to come out for a breath then they would have to start the process all over again…honestly had no clue what an MRI actually entailed. And then to make it better, when I finally finished and was removed from the tube, the technician said the doctor had ordered an MRI of the spine, so back in I went without so much as unstrapping my head from the helmet. I was told to hold still, and that came easily, but I felt noticeably more paralyzed when I tried to again engage my muscles after the two MRI's. I also was SO hot, which in hindsight it's because I lost my ability to sweat, but at the moment all I knew was that I felt like I was going to explode in flames and I couldn't even pull all the sheets and blankets off of myself while I waited for my bed to be rolled back upstairs to my room. All in all, great time!)
Every one of these tests, X-rays, etc. came back negative though, which was both relieving and nerve-racking because I was glad to not have whatever they had tested for but at the same time, there WAS something wrong, we just couldn't figure out what. It was debilitating …literally, ha.
Let's go back to the "you're not trying hard enough" comment from the doctor:
I'm on anxiety medicine, which surprises some because I internalize my anxious feelings most of the time, and I also don't fear a lot of things that most people do. But when I got to the hospital, I hadn't taken my medicine in almost a week. Not for any particular reason, just first, I had been on vacation in New York and my daily routine had gotten messed up so I had accidentally missed a few days. Then I had started feeling funny and wanted my body to use any and all of its efforts to heal me, not to waste energy breaking down medicine in my liver …there were more important things to focus on. When the doctor found out about this though, she assumed negative intent and wouldn't hear my actual reasoning. Then one of the days I had a video chat over a computer with a psychiatrist…they said it would help me or something, but I was just frustrated and it used a lot of energy to try and see her on the computer. Straining my voice was also not fun, and I didn't feel helped me at all so I definitely did not feel like being a part of a forced therapy session. In hindsight, my mom told me that the session was probably to add data to the doctor's assumed diagnosis –Conversion Disorder, which commonly stems from stress and anxiety. Conversion Disorder is basically a psychological disorder where the mind convinces the body that it has an ailment or weakness, usually as a way of coping and shutting down in time of extreme stress or trauma. I had a hard time believing this was a real disorder when the doctor explained it, but I wasn't the doctor and had no other answer, so I tried to give it a chance. Upon my request, my mom extensively read to me about Conversion Disorder and the causes, symptoms, etc. I honestly thought it sounded like a load of crap, but I tried to give her and it the benefit of the doubt…I mean I DID have anxiety and stress in my life. BUT, I had just come back from a 10 day vacation—it's not like I was in peak time at work and had been working 11 hour shifts for 6 days in a row..? (I had done that before). It just didn't seem right to me, but I really didn't have any reason why except for intuition. And I didn't have any other explanation. My mom kept telling the doctor that this diagnosis just wasn't characteristic of me in the way that she was describing it, but the doctor wouldn't hear it or consider that her diagnosis could be incorrect.
To add to the Conversion Disorder signs, I also had my first ever anxiety attack one morning on the neurology floor, ugh. I wanted to argue this point, but I didn't have the strength or energy to make my thoughts into words at this point. But man if I could've, I would've exploded with this:
ANYONE would have an anxiety attack if in the span of a week they had become paralyzed and the only people with the power to do anything weren't even supporting them! And if they were right and it was Conversion Disorder, it was only getting worse so was I just paralyzing myself for life? When would it stop—would my mind eventually psyche my body out to death? Also, if you had to be placed on your side to fall asleep and woke up with your bottom leg and hip PAINFULLY asleep from bearing the weight of your entire body on top without the power to even flop over, let alone just move your top leg off of the other, you would also want immediate help.
What no one saw leading up to my anxiety attack:
I awoke needing to be placed back on my back, and fast, but no one was in the room with me. They had told me to just press the red emergency button if I needed anything, but I could barely feel or move my hands and my fingers didn't have the strength or control to push the red button when I finally reached them up to it. Somehow, I finally pressed the button but when the nurse came through the intercom, my voice was too soft and she just kept saying "hello, hello??" It was like one of those nightmares where you try and scream but no one can hear you…except it was my real life and there was no waking up. She hung up. I worked my butt off and was able to throw enough weight against the red button again; this time when she said hello, I strained my voice as loud as I could and she heard me! I didn't know what to tell her though—I said I needed to be readjusted and she said, okay, to be patient and someone would be there soon. I focused on my breathing to distract myself from the pain, practicing the techniques that the speech therapist had taught me the prior day. I watched the clock and told myself to make it just 5 more minutes and not to panic. But 5 minutes passed, then 7, then 8 and the door was still closed with me inside, unable to move. I started crying as a result of panic and pain, but crying didn't help me get more oxygen. I fought to press the button again and by the time I did and they answered, I shouted back at them as best I could "I CAN'T BREATHE. I CAN'T BREATHE."
Soon after they busted my door open and rushed inside, flipping me back onto my back and sitting the bed up so I wasn't lying flat. I could tell these people thought I was just being over-dramatic, which made all of this 10x worse. I think they put a wet rag behind my neck and eventually I calmed down.
Finally, my mom got to my room, and everything was instantly better. I think that was the last time that she left me alone for more than 5 minutes at a time…and I honestly panicked every time she did. Her and stepdad Tim were fighting for me through all of this, the only ones actually trusting me and taking me seriously. Ugh, no wonder I've had multiple times since getting out of the hospital that I've panicked after being doubted…feeling unable to be heard will scar ya.
The tough thing about both GBS and Conversion Disorder is that neither have a specific test that will either confirm or deny the diagnoses. Both are diagnosed partially through process of elimination. I don't deny that there were definitely symptoms and things in place that were in support of Conversion Disorder. However, the doctor was not open to the chance that she could be incorrect. My best friend's mom had been a nurse for many years and was convinced that it was GBS, especially because GBS has a history of following mononucleosis –the only diagnosis that had actually been confirmed. But even though we asked multiple times, the neurologist would NOT order the spinal tap. A spinal tap wouldn't exactly confirm or deny GBS, but having spinal fluid abnormally high in proteins is a VERY good indicator that the issue is autoimmune-related. But she said, and I quote, "The risk is just too high for a spinal tap. Even if you were my own sister, I would not order this test." I understood what she was saying, and it made sense if she was 100% confident that she had the right answer for my weakness…but if Conversion Disorder was the correct diagnosis, I still didn't feel like I was getting actual help in any sort of way…
First of all, I now understand that Conversion Disorder is not just a bogus cop-out. Multiple physical therapists have since drilled this into my head upon my venting about this neurologist, thankfully helping to set me back in my place. However, after doing extensive research, I also know that it is widely known by therapists (and I assume doctors), that if Conversion Disorder is the actual diagnosis and disorder then it is rarely, if ever, helpful in recovery to tell the patient of this diagnosis, and sometimes the actual diagnosis is also withheld from immediate family members as well. Not sure how the last part would work out, but I definitely understand not telling the patient that everything is all in their head. …I went through this thinking for 2 days, questioning if I really was just mentally psyching myself into this mess; I'm honestly lucky it was only two days or I very well might have worked myself into a psychological issue. Another detail, usually the symptoms of Conversion Disorder tend to mimic a certain other diagnosis (a common example being stroke), but all tests detect that nothing is wrong. Every single test had come out negative, so that part was definitely some strong support in favor of Conversion Disorder…that is everything besides the spinal tap—which wasn't given!!!!! Anyways, affective Conversion Disorder therapy also typically mimics the patient's perceived diagnosis (i.e. stroke). But even then, I did not feel like my physical, speech or occupational therapy in the hospital was stopping any digressions in my health. Everything was consistently just getting worse day by day and no different methods were being tried. I was watching my strength, balance, and control deteriorate and I had no power to do anything to stop it.
The three days that I spent on the neurology floor all blur together, but I basically faded fully over that time. I remember my mom calling every and any family friend that was a doctor or nurse, asking them if there was anything else that we could be doing or that we could test for. I was losing my ability to text, read, or talk on the phone, so I messaged my bosses that I'd likely be out for a bit, but my mom took it from there when I received a call back to check on me since I couldn't speak.
One day I had a tiny little tech that tried to help me get on my bedside commode, but she couldn't support my weight and didn't expect me to be incapable of holding any of my weight on my own…I almost fell and from then on I wasn't allowed to even try and get to the bedside commode to use the bathroom. Things were going great. I also still hadn't showered since Clair's attempted hair-washing on my hardwood floor, so my mom requested it one evening (sweet Mom!). A couple of techs transferred me into a shower chair and rolled me down the hall to a giant shower. The two of them and my mom washed me while I lost all sense of social norms and dignity, but I was clean so who cares!!! It was all I could do to bear the pain of sitting up in a chair; all my dead-weight was slumped over because my back had continued tightening and I could no longer sit up straight in a seated position. Everything hurt, but I was soon back in the bed, horizontal, which was the only position my body could be in without my nerves screaming mean words in pain.
The truth that I constantly held onto over these three days was "BE STILL AND KNOW." I couldn't remember where in the Bible it was (Psalm 46:10 -thx google), but the Lord placed these words in my mind and helped me to cling to them and repeat them over and over again in my head. Be still and know that I am God. "But God, I am literally going to die if I don't get answers. And believe me, I'd take control and just figure it out myself if I could. But I can't read or move or talk, sooo." Be still and know that I am God. "Okay, you're right you're right. God is sovereign and if it's his plan to keep me alive than no human can mess that up...we don't have that much power. But what if I become fully paralyzed and can never walk again, let alone move or roll over?" Be still and know that I am God. "I can't move so lol @ that, my only thing I have the power to do is to literally just be still." And so this dialogue in my head kept going back and forth, but somehow, those words and clinging to the truth and power of my King, was enough to make it through a minute at a time.
Fast-forward to Sunday afternoon. I was getting changed and readjusted for what felt like the 400th time already that day. It was only day three and I had already become completely immune to people changing me. The first day, I insisted that my male nurse find a female every time, but by this point I couldn't move so why the heck could I even care about all the different people wiping my butt for me. There's a system: They roll you to one side, clean, flip you to the other side, clean and then lay you back on your back with fresh linens magically underneath you. So at this point, I was flipped on one side and both of the techs were standing at my lower body, not paying attention to what my head or face was doing.
It was getting harder to gasp for air with each breath, but this time something felt worse and different. I tried to breathe but no air came through. Ummmmm. I quickly brainstormed ways to get their attention, but I couldn't move at all anymore. I couldn't lift my head to look at them or lift my fingers or hand to alert them… and no sound would come out of my mouth—I also didn't want to use up whatever air I had left in my body. So I tried not to panic (that hadn't gone so well the last time) and waited for them to get done and flip me back onto my back. COULD THEY MOVE ANY SLOWER? They had no sense of urgency, I mean I guess why would they, but this was not going to bode well for me if it took much longer. …honestly this all probably happened in a matter of seconds but it felt like minutes were ticking by…it was like being under-water and not being able to come up for air. Then I looked straight ahead and thanks to placement by the sweet Lord Jesus himself, I realized my mom happened to be standing behind the tech, observing what was going on. Just about the same moment, we made eye contact and she noted the panic covering my expression. She also said later that my face had turned blue. She instantly started yelling at the techs that I wasn't breathing and to "flip me over, flip me over. She can't breathe!!" Words you never want to hear or experience, but they listened and rolled me back onto my back. Thankfully, this helped open my windpipe, and I immediately started breathing again.
But trouble breathing meant we were in emergency mode now, and the tech ran and got help. Other people probably came in, but the main person that I remember was the Pulmonologist –the lung doctor. He spoke to my mom and I as I gasped for air with every breath, and she filled in any answers that I could not choke out. He was in there and questioning us for a few minutes, maybe, and then the words came out of his mouth – "It's GBS, get her to the ICU." RELIEF flooded through my veins, surprising as that may be. I had known something was wrong, and the ICU meant they were going to do something to fix it. I was rejoicing in my head because I knew that my own strength was barely helping me hang on. I remember logistics being explained and then being in the elevator and wishing it to move faster. I remember them pushing my wheeled bed down the hall and wishing the same, and then I remember my bed being pushed into a room and plugged into some stuff. Lots of people entered the room and were looking at me, except my mom wasn't one of them. Then everything went black.

It was already in October that some metropolitan shops opened the season of pre-New Year trading. In general, the city is preparing to hold traditional Christmas fairs, the Minsk-News Agency correspondent was told at the Main Department of the Consumer Market of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
The main trading rows, as before, will be located on two sites - near the Sports Palace and in Octyabrskaya Square from December 15 to January 15. But this time there will be some surprises in store for the city citizens.
"Oktyabrskaya Square proved to be a very popular place for the citizens of Minsk on holidays, therefore this year together with Minskreklama and the Minsk City Council we have thought of a new decoration of the square," said Tamara Tikhonova, Head of the Department of Trade and Catering of the Main Department of the Consumer Market of the Minsk City Executive Committee. "There will be many illuminations, the main New-Year tree will appear in a different form - there will be a "winter garden" - a specially dressed public garden near the Palace of the Republic. Our tents will be set up. Trade enterprises are already working on the assortment of goods; new equipment has been purchased, for example, for baking driniki (pancakes made of grated potatoes). New Year presents, souvenirs, toys, confectionery, hot pastries, mulled wine, draniki and pancakes will be presented everywhere", she continued.
On December 23 the city fair "Kalyadnaya Zorka" (Christmas Garland) will be held at the Sports Palace as well as in all districts of the city. In addition to the above mentioned products people will have a chance to purchase products for the festive table. On New Year's Eve "Kalyadny Kirmash" will be working on this site until 4 am.
For reference:
The fair at the Palace of Sports will run from December 15 to January 15 from 12 o'clock to 9 p.m.
In Octyabrskaya Square, visitors are expected: on December 15-23 - from 12 o'clock to 9 p.m., on December 24 - January 7 - from 12 o'clock to 10 p.m., on January 8-15 - from 12 o'clock to 8 p.m.

Railston support a different local charity every year, the charity is selected following employee nominations and then a company-wide vote. Railston is delighted that Doing it for Dan has been chosen and will be our official charity from 1st August 2016 for the following 12 months. Staff were touched by Dan's story and felt raising money for local children and young adults to participate in sport was a very worthwhile cause. Some employees had already completed the Doing it for Dan virtual run which took place in November 2015 and Railston had sponsored the team at Wootton Bassett Football Club that Dan was a part of. Railston runs several charity events and encourages staff to arrange their own activities throughout the year, many of which end up being sporting challenges. The company doubles all funds raised by staff. We look forward to doing as much as we can over the next 12 months to raise money for Doing it for Dan

Hi all,
This week's poll question is about news that Disney plans to pull its content from Netflix in favor of its own streaming service in the future. Discuss here if you think this is a smart move by Disney, and, if you like, the poll results themselves.
IMO there are already too many streaming services. Folk can only subscribe to so many.
To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that Disney has taken their content away from Netflix. There is so much money to be made in streaming, that Disney would be crazy not to take a slice from it. I'd have to imagine there would be a large portion of the public keen to subscribe to a Disney-only service. As you can see, Netflix has a lot of competition from others to take its crown, that it might not be the strong player we know to be in 5 years time ;)

No matter if you're the owner of a heat pump or a central air conditioner, if you skip out on professional air conditioner maintenance, your system won't reach anywhere near its expected efficiency levels or lifespan.

The Drug
Pregablin and Gabapentin are medicinal drugs which in recent years has become increasingly misused substances. They are taken as a pill making people feel dozy and high.
It is a bit like taking tranquilisers like Valium. Sometimes pills are crushed and it is snorted. The numbers of prescriptions has increased hugely in recent years and supplies have found their way onto the illicit market.
They are prescribed to people who suffer nerve pain so are effective painkillers. They can be prescribed for epilepsy or anxiety too. Pregablin and Gabapentin are quite addictive and have caused several overdoses.
Also known as: Lyrica, Neurontin, Pregabs, Jonnies
These two drugs/medicines makes people feel drowsy, relaxed and giggly. They can also make you very sedated, suppressing respiration and can cause feelings of sickness and chest pain. They are sometimes taken as a 'downer' after a long session on cocaine, ecstasy or mephedrone.
These two drugs are addictive medicines. Pregabalin is thought to be more addictive than gabapentin. People who take one of them find they increase their dose as they build up tolerance. There is a high risk of overdose. They are often taken in combination with other substances which increases the level of intoxication. In 2012 there were only 4 deaths related to Pregablin which rose to 111 in 2016. In the same time, Gabapentin deaths rose from 8 to 59.
Be Safe
It is dangerous to mix these kinds of depressants with others like alcohol. Avoid regular use which can cause dependence.
The Law
Pregablin and Gabapentin are prescription only medicines so should only be prescribed by a doctor. There is currently no possession offence but you could still be arrested if the police officer is not sure what the pills are. Pregablin and Gabapentin will soon become Class C drugs which will restrict its supply.

Whisperin' Bill Anderson was already having a wonderful vacation when he received a phone call from Terry Wakefield at Sony/ATV that made his trip that much better. Wakefield let him know the status of two of Anderson's co-writes: Sugarland's "Joey" hit the national country charts at No. 50 yesterday (6/29), and today (6/30) Brad Paisley released a new album containing his cut "No."
Coincidentally, Anderson says, "Some of my biggest hits in the past have been songs with only one-word titles, so if I'm lucky, maybe I can add a couple more to that list in the near future."

Hours after the world watched Garrett Yrigoyen get down on one knee and propose to Becca Kufrin on "The Bachelorette," the happy couple was with "Extra's" AJ Calloway in New York.
While showing off her bling, a nearly four-carat, three-stone, gold Neil Lane ring, Becca commented, "I think I was blinded at first." Still, she said, "I love it! It's anything I could have hoped for. I would have loved anything he gave to me. It's very classic and feminine — I like the gold."
As for how she knew Garrett was the one, Kufrin revealed, "Since night one, he was just so fun-loving, he had such a good energy… I knew I was in love with him after his hometown, when I met his family and saw him interact with everyone. It all just kind of fell into place, clicked."
Garrett shared when he fell in love, saying, "Feelings grew stronger throughout the show once she met my family and was around my family... Then, in Thailand, we worked together as a team. We went on a bamboo paddleboard raft on a national holiday — it was hectic, it was crazy! We worked so well together, I was like, 'I love this girl so much, I can't see life without her.'"
Becca pointed out that she laughs all the time with Garrett, adding, "My cheeks hurt all the time when I am with him."
The pair also revealed how they kept their relationship under wraps, admitting they used code names. If Becca was referring to Garrett in public she would use the name Vincent, while called her Veronica or another made up name.
Their relationship is not without controversy, Garrett was in the middle of a social media firestorm for "liking" racist and homophobic posts while shooting the show. He said, "We addressed it from the beginning. I'm open-minded. She put in perspective other people's views how I could come off as offensive and hurt other people's feelings, and that was nothing I ever wanted to do. I apologized publicly on my Instagram and I stand by everything I said on there. I'm sorry — I didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings."
On a more lighthearted note, the newly engaged pair also participated in a "He Said, She Said" quiz. Watch!

September always feels like a fresh start for me, the beginning of something new, opening of a new door, the start of a brand new year all over again. I suppose its from the many years of school life. Anyone else getting that back to school vibe…It always stiggers a new energy for me and a change in pace after the slow days of Summer. Just like that Summer is nearly over and normal routine will commence….
I love a fresh start, a chance to start over, like a Monday morning, a new beginning for you to do with it what you wish.
As we step into the new year (school year) and the kids go back to school I want focus more on my photography. Capturing the change in Season as we say goodbye to Summer and welcome Autumn into our lives. I'm just a little bit excited for pumpkin spiced lattes, cosy knits and candle light. But before then I'm trying to savour those last few days of late Summer as day by day we start to feel the cooler darker days creep up on us.
September is the perfect time to start new projects or rejoin clubs and groups that my have gone on hold over the Summer. For me I will be rejoining A year with my camera as I continue to learn more about photography.
Read a chapter a day. I want to try to finish my book I have been reading for way too long and get a reading list together for Autumn. What are you reading at the moment?? Any recommendations?
This month also sees us begin a new chapter in our lives too as our Son turns 13. I'm sure how that even happened, but it appears we are going to have a teenager in the house.
Get outdoors and walk daily. A daily walk is not only good for physical health but also our mental health too, getting some fresh air each day will make us feel better all round.
Back to basics with food. Summer as been a little indulgent to say the least time to get back to good old simple food and meal planning. September is the perfect time to make all the stews currys and casseroles as the days get a little cooler.
No spend September. After a busy Summer of days out, holidays and two tweens who think we have a money tree at the bottom of the garden its time to tighten our belts a little. So this month we are trying to spend only the necessities for the month of September.
Tidy – declutter – donate. Time to blitz the house this September after a Summer of neglect.
What do you love about September ?
I'd love to hear what projects, courses, plans you have for September.

I am a 44 year old female that has had 3 vaginal births (my youngest is 17 now). My periods are regular 30 days apart with the odd early or late day sprinkled in just 'for fun'. I have very heavy bleeding the first two days of my period and then it tapers off pretty quickly. I get a really light day and then it starts again for a couple of days and presto, done.
My husband and I have started bike touring last year now that the kids are leaving the nest so I purchased a large Fluer cup 9 months ago (Purple, yay), as it is a more practical way to manage my period whilst on the bike, and it means I don't have to carry boxes of tampons with me.
I have had constant leaks the whole 9 months and am still wearing a panty liner, which defeats the purpose somewhat. On our first 2 week bike tour I even managed to make a huge mess in a motel room when we had a rest day. I was so tired from riding 100kms a day that I fell into a really deep sleep. It soaked all the way through to the mattress... This leaking is constant and not because the cup is full. I know what the bubbly feeling feels like on the odd occasion that I have actually managed to fill the cup, because I am constantly running to the toilet to clean myself up.
I have had to trim the tab right back as it was super uncomfortable unless it was pushed up high and I have found the ridges on the cup quite sharp as well. I can certainly feel the cup when it sits low. But that didn't worry me as much as the leaking. I have also found that the first day it is almost agony wearing a cup as my cervix gets so swollen and hangs really low, especially just after insertion when the suction occurs. After the initial flood days I don't have a problem comfort wise.
So I would like to know from you lovely ladies out there if I need to get a bigger cup to create a better seal, a stiffer cup that won't kink with my monstrous cervix pushing into it, or is it just my technique? I use the punch down fold after rinsing the cup and I don't have any trouble with insertion or removal. I am now looking at perhaps getting an XL Meluna (ball ended) in a classic or a sport because its made out of TPE and the ridges appear a bit softer.
I have spent quite some time reading through the entries here and I do the kegels to get the cup higher, rotating the stem to make sure it's opened up and feeling around to make sure the cervix is not hanging over the edge as suggested, but still I leak like a sieve......
Any suggestions or comments gratefully accepted.

Hello! My name is Ali Rashid and I'm really happy and proud to live in Dubai. I was born and grew up in Fujairah, and starting from the childhood my parents were taking me to Dubai. However, at that time Dubai wasn't so luxury and famous like today. It doesn't really matter, because it was the first place where I saw real skyscrapers, and at that moment the city started to develop and transform into a real touristic mecca.
No surprise that I was dreaming to live and work in this city during my childhood and youth. After graduating from the university
I was determined to find a job only in Dubai, and I managed to find it. Now I am working in the real estate market and I'm really happy to help hundreds of people to find comfortable and affordable houses and apartments in Dubai. That's why I recommend you to browse, select and book apartments, which you really like. Don't hesitate to contact me in case if you have any questions, I will do my best to make your living and holiday in Dubai incredibly comfortable and totally safe.

Sat September 17, 2005 - West Edition
According to David Spainhour of Midco Demolition Tool Co. in Dallas, TX, a new, highly-effective lubricant has been developed for use in hydraulic hammers.
These rugged attachments operate in one of the worst construction environments imaginable, and anyone who has ever operated or supervised the usage of hydraulic hammers for any length of time knows that keeping the hammer lubricated is of utmost importance.
Even with only one grease fitting lubricating the lower unit, it is often overlooked during regular maintenance. The results are devastating to the wear parts including all the bushings.
Even those individuals and companies that maintain regularly scheduled lubrication intervals that include the lower unit grease fitting still have problems when working in areas that experience high environmental heat.
According to Spainhour, during a tolerance test where a hammer was operated in an actual work environment with temperatures surpassing 100 degrees, and regular lubrication was performed on two hour intervals, the viscosity of the grease deteriorated and leaked from the hammer.
Having operated and repaired hydraulic hammers for more than 20 years, Spainhour has encountered nearly every problem that can plague a hammer. With this wealth of knowledge, he set out to develop a product that, if used properly, would lubricate and protect the bushings and other wear parts of hydraulic hammers, even in temperatures exceeding 120 degrees.
"Given all the problems that I have observed with operating and repairing hydraulic hammers over the years, I decided that there had to be a better way of maintaining the hammers," said Spainhour. "For two years, I mixed and matched all the ingredients necessary to formulate a lubricating grease that would perform as it is expected and stay in the hammer.
"As it states in the story books, suddenly one day the formula hit me and Hydraulic Hammer Grease came into existence," he added.
According to Spainhour, the product was tested on multiple hammers. The formal testing was performed using a Kent KF 45 over a four month period. With a lubrication schedule set for every two hours, the hammer experienced one-thousandths-of-an-inch wear on the bit and tool bushings.
After one year of use, the hammer was still using the lower and upper bushings. The bit was changed as needed and the retainer bars were changed once a year. After two years, all the bushings were changed.
"Hydraulic Hammer Grease is a synthetic blended grease that is made specifically for hydraulic and air hammers and specially formulated to withstand extremely high temperatures and high pressures," said Spainhour.
In these tests, the Hydraulic Hammer Grease outlasted regular lubricants and performed at up to 600 degrees, as well as maintained high shock and impact resistance while also resisting water, acid, dust, dirt and oxidation.
"Even though I am in the business to repair hydraulic and air hammers, I would recommend anyone in the industry that uses a hammer on a daily basis to make sure that their hammers are lubricated properly on a two hour schedule with Hydraulic Hammer Grease and their repair and wear item costs would be cut in half," said Spainhour.

Amrut Peated Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Out of stock
Get an alert when the product is in stock:
Volume: 700ml ABV: 62.8% Age: No Age Statement Country: India Chill Chillfiltered?: Non Chill Filtered
According to Indian Mythology, when Gods and Rakshasas – the demons – churned the oceans using the mountain Meru as a churner, a golden pot sprang out containing the Elixir of Life. That was called the "Amrut". The great founders of the distillery aptly named it Amrut Distilleries.
Amrut Cask Peated Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky is a product of many years research to produce whiskies matching world standards. The whisky is made from selected Indian barley grown at the feet of the Himalayas, nurtured by the waters flowing there and cultivated by old and traditional agricultural practices. It is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches to preserve the natural aroma and matured in oak barrels in a unique tropical condition, at an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level at Bangalore, the garden city of India. This exclusive bottling of Amrut Peated Single Malt offers the connoisseur the rare opportunity to sample this Treasure of India
To retain the natural characteristics of this oak aged Indian Malt Whisky, they do not chill filter and it comes straight from the barrel in its natural colour.
This whisky received 92pts in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and if you are looking to explore the world of Indian Whisky this is a great place to start your journey.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Gristy smoked barley, kippers with a slated butter, peppered bite.
Palate: The delivery is youthful and barley reaching puberty then suddenly an intensely malty ascendancy followed by a healthy dose of drier oaks.
Finish: A sublime finale for its sheer delicacy and elegance; the peat no more than oozes, there are cups galore of sugarless medium roast Mysore and finally, as a bourbony trail is discovered, soft liquorice and molasses sugar – easily the highlight of the experience; one of the best finishes of the year.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: There's a light peat smoke which is preparing the palate for something special, buttery sweet like barley sugars with tropical fruits, vanilla and pineapple. A touch of water opens up the nose and enhances these aromas.
Palate: Now I'm in India, with nutmeg, lots of tropical fruitiness and vanilla's. The malty Amrut signature is still there and helps pull everything together. Small bursts of cocoa, toffee, caramel and milk chocolate. Mouth coating and delicious.
Finish: A sweet and sour finish which remains buttery and has a medium to long finish. This whisky is best warmed a little in the hand but it is sensational and places itself amongst the best

Build an ecosystem
of innovation
Embrace digital disruption to reshape the way you interact
with customers. See things from a new perspective and
transform your services with the latest technologies.
The digital era requires businesses to innovate and rise to the increasing expectations of their customers. Although many business leaders understand the need for a more modernised connected digital infrastructure, legacy technology is hindering many from taking the next steps to empower the workforce and see their business thrive. Research by Forrester has shown that the continuation of legacy applications within the workforce is limiting the innovation of technology and ultimately business growth1. Once the backbone of the business, systems are no longer sufficient, and the organisation will pay the price. The impact systems can have on an organisation and driving it forward is the main reason why business leaders should reshape their working.
1 https://www.forrester.com/Legacy+Business+Apps+Are+Stunting+Business+Growth+And+Innovation/-/E-PRE8144
The true cost of maintaining
legacy software
Legacy software, while it may seem easier in the short-term compared to investing in modernisation, takes a serious toll on your business and in many instances can cost more than the investment into digital innovation.
Financial investment: According to Gartner2, 60-80% of an average company's budget for IT is spent on the maintenance of legacy solutions. Spending such a significant portion of funds on the maintenance of outdated systems restricts organisations from investing in technology to influence business change. With legacy software, as time goes on, support costs increase, and expertise begins to dwindle as specialists leave the industry.
Losing time: When your workforce has to use legacy solutions, rather than the latest software with real-time data, the time cost can be vast. By investing in newer, more innovative technology, your workforce can spend more time focussing on value-add activities. Once you take a step back and consider the worth of your employees' time from a new perspective, the true cost of using legacy applications can be seen.
Managing expectations: As younger generations enter the workforce, they are bringing with them a wealth of new knowledge and digital confidence. Schooley3 reports that 40 million Millennials have already entered the workforce, with another 35 million on their way. The Millennial business mindset expects access to technology and data in real-time. Millennials were born into a technological era and with that comes the expectation to see innovation within the workforce. Businesses that don't embrace the future of digitisation risk losing out on attracting new talent. As a society, technology is readily accessible, and so there is a logical extension and expectation of this into the workplace.
Business agility: Businesses cannot afford to be risk-averse – it is not conducive to the innovative culture needed for real digital transformation. When thinking about maintaining a competitive advantage, technology holds the key to success.

Gain a new perspective
on your goals
Now is the best time to begin reshaping your organisation, application modernisation allows you to unlock future business opportunities. It's imperative for business leaders to build the right foundation to begin looking at digital transformation. Technology trends are capable of revolutionising your organisation and propelling your business forward.
The digital era requires a business to reimagine the possibilities. Many successful companies have built their brand from opportunities realised in the digital age. Uber and Airbnb are well-known examples of companies that have thought outside of the box, taking a traditional business model and used technology to transform it. In addition to creating businesses from technology, there are many examples of technology propelling business success, Netflix, for example, began as a DVD rental service but saw the potential of technology and decided to innovate into the streaming service we know today.
Manipulating technology according to your business needs is something every organisation needs to be actively looking to implement. Not only does it save time spent dealing with manual tasks, but can speed up business processes dramatically.
"We also required slicker accounting processes to highlight inefficiencies and identify inconsistencies with suppliers. The functionality and usability of the system means that we are already seeing the benefits of more streamlined accounting and better reporting, which will help to fuel our ambitious growth plans." – Harvey Nichols
Why embrace technology?
Although perceived as too advanced for some organisations, innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Predictive Analytics (PA) should be considered for every forward-thinking business. Technology can unleash business productivity while reducing long-term cost as well as improving quality and functionality by removing human error. Using resources more intelligently can reboot productivity, identify bottlenecks and free up staff for more important, value-add activities, all while maintaining compliance to changing regulation and demands.
An example of the capabilities of these innovations includes AI freeing workers from mundane tasks to enrich their roles and creating a workforce multiplier by re-energising workforces without increasing headcount.
Security should be at the forefront of any organisation's agenda. As technology evolves so too do hackers, which is why the implementation of the latest, ahead-of-the-curve technology can protect you from any unwanted cyber attention and be a clear competitive differentiator.
Many businesses that are beginning to realise the need for technology and business innovation bind themselves to providers that aren't giving them what they need or what's best for them. Investing in technology for its own sake provides little benefit to an organisation. It's important to understand what you need and the gaps you have in your productivity, where your business is now and where you want it to go – that is where technology can work for you.
AI Technology integration saves Clerks at Clerksroom over 200 hours per month "Letting the client input the details via Billy [Bot, a junior clerk robot] means greater accuracy of the data. The technology integration gives Billy access to our MLC system, so he holds over 15 years' worth of accurate data. We have also built a barrister preference engine, which learns the preferences of our 77 barristers, so Billy knows the variables including likely fees for specific areas of law, all courts in England and Wales, legal expertise and distance to travel from home or chambers to the court centre."
Which of the following tech trends are you seeing in your daily life?
67% of people are seeing Cloud Services, and 50% are seeing Business Intelligence within their everyday lives. Respondents are also seeing Artificial Intelligence, Wearable Technology and Virtual Technology on a regular basis. This truly highlights the move of cutting edge technology into mainstream life. For businesses not considering innovation, these figures should be a red flag.
The 4th Industrial Revolution is bringing forth a host of new technology with capabilities to reshape organisations. Business leaders need to be confident enough to step back, see the their goals from a new perspective and invest into the future of the organisation. With lack of time as a significant factor, it can be hard to make time to reimagine however if you do, your workforce and customers will thank you.
When it comes to innovation, the long-term benefits by far outweigh the short-term time commitment. Rethink, recharge, reshape: reimagine the potential.

RailCorp are doing work on the old goods line through Lilyfield, turning it into a light rail extension. The area around one of their worksites has been thoroughly trashed by vandals, and it appears that they broke into the worksite over the weekend and pushed the site's portable toilets over. I wrote to RailCorp about the rubbish within and around the site last week - when I went past yesterday, the area was much cleaner, and I noticed three full bin liners at the gate waiting to be picked up. It's a pity that I had to ask RailCorp to clean up their own site - someone from management should have been visiting regularly, and if they were, they might have noticed the sea of McDonalds bags, drink bottles, coffee cups etc inside and outside the fence.
The walls under the railway bridge are a favourite spot for the illegal posting of posters. Last week, posters for the Greens went up. By yesterday, half of them had been torn down or fallen down - along with several other non-political posters. The rubbish from the posters was all over the footpath, and had started washing into the street.
It's a similar story at one of the overbridges along the City West Link.
I've left a comment on Jamie Parker's website, which ironically states "Help me improve Balmain, Leichhardt, Glebe and Haberfield":
Yes, I'd love you to improve the Lilyfield area. Recently, Greens posters have been illegally put up on RailCorp and RTA bridges. Most of these posters are now lying on the footpath or in the gutter as great wads of rubbish. How about going back and cleaning up after yourself, and stop using public assets for your advertising. Stop treating our environment as a rubbish tip.
The state election is this weekend. The most common form of political advertising is coreflutes nailed onto power poles. What I've noticed from recent elections is that by the weekend after the election, Labor and the Liberals will have taken most of them down. There's always the odd one that is missed, but they manage to get 95%+ very quickly. Sometimes, most of them come down on the Sunday after the election.
I'll be keeping an eye on the Greens coreflutes to see if they bother to take them down as rapidly and comprehensively. After the 2007 federal election, I had to write to them two months after the election to ask them to clean up their rubbish. They're good at putting it up, and hopeless at taking it down.
