Enacted in 1998, the current Capital Market Law needs an overhaul to align Oman's maturing economy within the context of ever-changing innovative investment opportunities.
Oman's Capital Market Authority (CMA), in charge of overseeing the country's stock market, is in the process of drafting a new Securities Law, in an attempt to protect the interest of investors.
As a part of its strategic plan, the board of the Capital Market Authority (CMA) has released the draft conceptual framework for a new Securities Law and has invited comments from the public. The stated aim for the new draft is to create a radically refreshed architecture for the securities industry in Oman through a high-level, legal wire frame, which will be filled in with detailed regulations under the provisions of the law. The draft follows the contemporary style of legislation through clear provisions that are easily understandable to the common man and does away with arcane legalese or obfuscations. Final codification of the law will follow public comments and necessary refinements.
In an exclusive interview with TBY, HE Abdullah Salim Al Salmi, Executive President of CMA, elaborated on investors' feedback to the draft securities law. After putting the draft law online, CMA received a huge amount of feedback from investors that was incorporated into the second draft. He explained the next steps of the process, outlining, "The second draft is ready, but now we need to gather the stakeholders again to explain it, get them to understand it, and buy into it. Then we will be talking to the government entities for final approval."
The centerpieces of the new draft are protection of consumers of securities products and services, allowing autonomy and flexibility to the market infrastructure institutions like Muscat Securities Market (MSM) and Muscat Clearing & Depository, and clear responsibilities and procedures for investigations and inspections, establishing a fair and just regulatory regime for enforcement of the law and allowing new vehicles for collective investments that would be more amenable to the current trends. The emphasis is on sound economic and legal principles to create a superstructure that can be filled in with specific instructions to suit any innovation from the intermediaries.
Many researchers have shown that law matters significantly in defining the characteristics and growth of securities market in countries, and the CMA has taken a bold step in moving forward through this initiative to modernize the securities market in Oman. The new law can capitalize on the political stability of the country, its fantastic relations in the region with its neighbors, and its tax friendliness to create a package that Omani and foreign investors alike would find difficult to resist.

All of us have embarrassing stories, but not everyone has adventurous stories. Folwell Dunbar, writer and educator, has both, and he's about to share them with the public. His book He Falls Well, which will be released on October 30, is a compilation of short stories that all have a central theme — positive insanity.
Now, before you start questioning the use of the adjective "insanity," picture this: You are visiting Nono, a small town just Northwest of Quito. It holds The Running of the Bulls. There's a ring with a snorting, snarling, and bucking bull. Do you:
A. Stay in the ring and go head-to-head with the bull
B. Have your good friend hang in the ring with you and the bull
C. Sacrifice your friend's body for your own protection against the bull
If you're Folwell Dunbar, you do all three, and you live to tell the tale. (Sidenote: his friend that was used as his body shield also lived to tell this tale.). Folwell's trek into the uncharted stories of life started from a young age. Raised in New Orleans, he was the kind of boy who when he saw a tree, he wanted to climb it. If he saw a snake, he'd want to chase it. And he did, jumping into bayous and swamps in order to follow whatever unknown lured him into that murky abyss. His caution-adverse mindset came from that wonderful adolescent feeling of invincibility and the desire to challenge himself.
Time has passed, but that wanderlust spirit still clutches at Folwell's heart (and prefrontal cortex). No longer does he think of himself as invincible, but his urge to travel, to adventure, to literally go off the map, and to push the limits of what it means to be human now centralizes around having new and different experiences. "For me, a life well lived is one that's filled with stories worth telling," Folwell says.
Although He Falls Well is his debut book and the first time he's threading all of his stories together, Folwell is no stranger to orating in front of people who demand to be entertained. He's in education, and for anyone who has to stand in front of a large group of humans ranging in age from seven to eighteen, you know the importance of having good stories.
Folwell links together his adventures in life with in-class learning experiences, even bringing in wild animals for students to observe, interact with, study, and build bonds with, especially when the reptiles get loose. Just as he reimagines what life can be, Folwell brings that spirit to pedagogical practices. "How can we reimagine education?" he asks. "How can we change the way that student's learn?" From writing charters to leading workshops on education, Folwell keeps these questions central to his professional life and his personal life. He isn't afraid of taking chances or of possibly ending up in scenarios that make him ask: Are we going to get out of this alive?
"One of my goals for writing is to make people laugh and feel…if it's at my expense, I'm okay with that," Folwell says. Lucky for him, He Falls Well, engages the reader in a way where they feel like his hikes are their hikes and his adventures in piecemeal cars are their adventures in piecemeal cars. Although he may not want to send his book to his insurance company or his future employer, there is one person he'd love to have read the book.
"If I were going to send it to anyone," he says, "it would be my therapist. Now, keep in mind, I don't have a therapist, but if I had a therapist, I would send it to them. Then they would read it, and I would save a lot of money."
He Falls Well would do more than just save Folwell money. It would inspire his therapist to get out of their seat, book a plan ticket to a place completely unknown to them, and see what unfolds. They'd take the Folwell way of life, and the only footprints on the path would be their own.
To meet the author and get your own copy of He Falls Well signed, you can come to Folwell Dunbar's book launch at Octavia Books on October 30, from 6:00-7:30 PM.

Latest data on the overall levels of vulnerability and need among children and young people in England.
Permanent exclusion refers to a child who is excluded and cannot attend the same school again (unless the exclusion is overturned). Their name is removed from the school register and he/she would then be educated at another school or via some other form of provision.
A fixed-period exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded from a school for a set period of time. A pupil may be excluded for one or more fixed periods up to a maximum of 45 school days in a single academic year. Pupils in fixed-period exclusions remain on the register of that school, as they are expected to return when the exclusion period is completed.

The guy's pics show it progressing three-hour session by session, while it's clearly still a WiP, it's pretty cool already.

Four Cops Critically Wounded In Oakland
Four officers were in critical condition and a suspect dead on Saturday after two related shootings, the first after a traffic stop and the second after a massive manhunt ended in gunfire, police said.
Two officers were shot in the first incident just after 1 p.m. after they stopped the suspect's vehicle in east Oakland, said Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason.
The suspect fled the scene on foot into a nearby neighborhood, police said, leading to an intense manhunt by dozens of Oakland police, California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff deputies. Streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland closed to traffic.
At about 3:30 p.m. officers, acting on an anonymous tip, found the suspect, who had barricaded himself in a building close to location of the first shooting. Gunfire was exchanged between the two parties, injuring two more officers and killing one of the suspects, reports CBS Station KPIX in San Francisco.
"We had SWAT officers go into that building and that's where the second shooting took place," said Thomason.
All four officers are in critical condition at Highland Hospital, Thomason said. Dozens of people, including other officers gathered outside the hospital, awaiting word of the officers' condition.
Authorities say the Alameda County coroner has been called to Highland Hospital in Oakland in response to the shooting but the hospital is not releasing any information yet, KPIX reports.
A visibly shaken acting Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said the department was still investigating.
"At this point we don't believe there are other people involved, but it's too early to tell," he said.
Tension between police and the community has risen steadily since the fatal shooting of unarmed 22-year-old Oscar Grant by a transit police officer on Jan. 1. That officer, Johannes Mehserle, has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.
Violent protests erupted on the streets of Oakland in the weeks after Grant's death, further inflaming tensions.
Hours after Saturday's shootings near a busy intersection just blocks from a police substation in east Oakland, people were still at the scene of the first shooting as police tape blocked off streets.
Mo Wiley, 32, of Oakland, said emotions still are raw from the Grant shooting.
"Oakland is a beautiful place," Wiley said. "But I just hate when it gets ugly like this."
Meanwhile about 20 people taunted police near the scene of the first shooting, saying the incidents were "payback for Oscar."
The mood was somber outside the police station in east Oakland as the investigation continued. Officers hugged and consoled each other.
"This is a highly sensitive situation that we're dealing with right now with our OPD family, and we're still trying to notify family members that their family members were hurt," Thomason said.

Once upon a time there lived a mum, who, like all mums was very, very busy in the mornings – packed lunches, breakfast and the school run. She would eat something very quickly or sometimes not eat anything at all for breakfast. The result – she would feel really hungry at about 10 am and then she would snack on a few biscuits. So…not good! One day, the postman delivered a parcel to her – and her life suddenly became 'all-bran new'.
In the parcel were three boxes of Kelloggs All-Bran Cereal in the following flavours – Golden Crunch, Red Berry Crunch and Chocolate Wheats.
And yes there was a challenge! Now, she was a person who loved challenges and she decided to take up on it. After the second day, she began to see changes in the way she felt and she felt good about herself. So, she started eating her breakfast everyday, stopped snacking (because she didn't feel the need to any more) and she continued feeling better and better.
And yes…..she lived happily ever after.
That is my All-Bran Story. I took the 5 day challenge and sceptical as I was about the changes it would bring, I started on it without expecting results. I know that fibre is good for one but feeling good in one's tummy? I mean these are usually sales pitches, right? Wrong.
I tried each of the flavours in turn and here's what I thought of each.
Chocolate Wheats
This had to go first as it was just yum. I loved the stringy texture and of course the chocolate in the centre. The children also enjoyed it.
Red Berry Crunch
A personal favourite. I loved the taste of the crunchy flakes and the chewy berries. And we even used it in a recipe for muffins which was delicious.
Golden Crunch
Being baked enhanced the flavour of the flakes and this was a hit with Hubs.
I like that the range caters to the entire family. With Kellog's All Bran's wide range there is something for everyone.
Now for the main thing – did it really do as promised?
A big definite yes.
I started seeing the change on the second day when I didn't feel bloated but felt full and managed to go with out a mid morning snack. Definitely a good sign. It made me happier all round.
After the 5 days, I felt positive about the flakes – they were wonderful to taste and had settled my belly too. I even signed up to the All Bran Challenge online here and I was sent an email with tips and recipes and even had a tummy tracker to chart my progress.
"Did you know that 90 to 95 per cent of the 'happy' hormone serotonin is made in the gut? A study* of 1,000 UK women found 52 per cent experience digestive complaints, such as bloating or gas, at least once a week. Eating fibre everyday is a simple remedy for happy tums! "
As mentioned we also made some All Bran Muffins and these went down very well with the entire family.
Here is the recipe for Red Berry Crunch All Bran Muffins
125 g flour
125 g Kelloggs All Bran – Red Berry Crunch
125 g sugar
75 g butter
150 ml milk
1 large egg or 2 medium eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Pre-heat the oven to 190˚C
Add the milk to the cereal and let it soak while you complete the following steps.
Cream the butter and the sugar.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, vanilla essence and the egg.
Add the milk and All Bran mixture.
Grease a 12 hole muffin tin and add the muffin mixture to each case.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
Enjoy warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze to enjoy later. (The latter two never happen in our home)
The Muffins was lovely – fluffy with that All-Bran Crunch.
Are you ready to take the All-Bran 5-day challenge?
I leave you with my thoughts on how the Kelloggs All Bran made me feel –
All Bran makes me a happy Mummy –
A lovely sensation in my tummy.
I don't feel bloated,
A good feeling I noted,
And besides the bran flakes taste so yummy.
This post is an entry for the Real Mums of All-Bran Linky Challenge, sponsored by Kelloggs.

Gold declined after data on China's economy pointed to an improvement, curbing demand for havens as equities rose. Investors also assessed the latest on trade, with the Global Times reporting that Beijing wants tariffs to be rolled back as part of a phase-one trade deal with the U.S.
A gauge of China's manufacturing jumped unexpectedly in November, signaling a recovery in activity amid state support and stabilizing global growth. The official manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to 50.2, according to a weekend release. That's the first reading above 50 since April, which indicates an expansion. A private gauge on Monday also showed an increase.
Still, optimism was tempered somewhat after central bank governor Yi Gang sounded a cautious tone on the health of the global economy, while signaling that policy makers will continue to refrain from large-scale easing.
Spot gold as much as -0.4% to $1,458.91/oz, and at $1,460.11 at 1:19pm in Singapore.

Expertise, Criticism and Holocaust Memory in Cinema
Document Type
Publication Date
Publication Title
Social Epistemology: A Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Policy
Communication Studies
This essay offers a critical examination of two recent Holocaust films that exemplify contrasting approaches to Holocaust representation: Peter Forgacs's 1997 The maelstrom: A family chronicle and Quentin tarantino's 2009 Inglourious basterds. One film is historical; the other translates history to figurative exaggeration. The essay explores how The maelstrom positions viewers within the constructed subjunctive spaces of the film, while Inglourious basterds positions viewers as spectators of history as comic book. Looking at these films together illuminates competing rhetorical claims to expertise in film production and reception, and, in the context of Holocaust memory, the levels of expertise required of viewing audiences. Moreover, the analysis reveals that rhetorical aporia no longer dominates inventional possibilities for cinematic memory construction of the Holocaust.

After a monstrous year at the box office for Universal Pictures, they're already starting to gear up the marketing campaign for what they hope is one of 2016's biggest hits. The 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman managed to pull in nearly $400 million in its worldwide ticket take, but Universal has higher hopes for its spin-off, The Huntsman Winter's War. You'll notice that the new film now has the title tag of "Winter's War" and features the returning actors Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth as both Queen Ravenna and The Huntsman respectively. They're featured alongside newcomers Jessica Chastain as Sara the Warrior, and Emily Blunt as Freya the Ice Queen in new character posters.
Nick Frost also stars in director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan's action-adventure film that explores the origins of The Huntsman … makes that Huntspeople … as warriors under the employ of Freya, who just so happens to be Ravenna's sister. When Freya learns of her sister's demise, she enacts a plan to not only exact revenge on those responsible, but also to restore Ravenna to power. You can get your first look at the characters of The Huntsmen Winter's War below – and be sure to come back on Wednesday for the film's first trailer – though you'll have to wait until April 22, 2016 to see the film in theaters. [Update: You can get a taste of what's in store by scoping out this teaser trailer here, plus new posters!]

Here's the official synopsis for The Huntsman: Winter's War:
The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron return to their roles in The Huntsman Winter's War, an epic action-adventure in which they are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, as well as director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Producer Joe Roth (Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland) once again leads the team in a breathtaking new tale nested in the legendary saga.
Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White's blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya's ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.
When Freya learns of her sister's demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it's ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen's cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

How do you create daily pages?
I am a newbie. So, kindly excuse my ignorance. I have been looking for ways to create and print my own 2 page daily planning pages classic size and I just do not see how that is done. I am sure someone has already figured all this out. Will someone tell me how you do it with the templates given on this site.

Mail Merge
If you're not an openoffice macro-writer, then mail merge is the quickest way from here to there. You have to use a graphic of the page in the background of your merge, then use merge fields to insert the dates and any other data you want.
If you search the site for mail merge, you'll find some detailed instructions on how to make it work with OpenOffice.
If Mail Merge is out of your scope, then using the graphic as the background in Writer or Word, you can just type in the dates and data. This takes a while, but it doesn't require a lot of fancy skills--just setting up your paper size and margins, and setting a graphic as the background image.
Good luck!

Illinois Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy
The Law – 720 ILCS 550/9
Any person who engages in a calculated criminal cannabis conspiracy is guilty of a Class 3 Felony and shall be fined up to not $200,000 and shall be subject to forfeiture.
(b) A person engages in a calculated cannabis conspiracy when:
(1) They violate Section 4(d), 4(e), 5(d), 5(e), 8(c) or 8(d) of the Cannabis Control Act (Possession of 30-2,000 grams of cannabis, Delivery of 200-2,000 grams of cannabis or Possession or Production of 20-200 Cannabis Sativa plants, respectively);
(2) The violations are part of a conspiracy involves two or more persons;
(3) They obtain anything of value greater than $500 from, or organizes, directs or finances such violation or conspiracy.
Any person who has previously been convicted of Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy, or of Possession and/or Delivery of cannabis between 30-2,000 grams, or Possession or Production of the Cannabis Sativa plant, or shall be guilty of a Class 1Felony.
The Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy law was enacted to deter and punish individuals who are involved in an organized scheme to possess, deliver or manufacture marijuana. This law incorporates many other areas of the Cannabis Control Act. In order for the state to prove someone guilty of Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy, they must show that the individual: 1) either possessed or delivered a certain quantity of marijuana or the Cannabis Sativa plant; 2) the possession or delivery of the marijuana involved two or more persons and; 3) they obtained anything in value in excess of $500 or they organized or financed the crime. This final element of the offense ensures that the state can still convict someone for Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy if they had some leadership role in the scheme without obtaining anything in value. For instance, if a person paid for equipment for another's greenhouse so that the Cannabis Sativa plant can be grown, that individual who provided the funds for the equipment can be charged and convicted under the Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy law.
Additionally, the State of Illinois may take any money, or other items associated with the conspiracy, from anyone convicted of the offense without reimbursement. For example, an individual can lose all cash, equipment and instruments used during the conspiracy. These may include: cars, pieces of land or other real property and bank accounts used in connection with the conspiracy.
The Sentence
If no other previous convictions of Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy or of Possession or Delivery of Cannabis between 50 to 2,000 grams or of Possession of 20 to 200 Cannabis Sativa plants:
Class 3 Felony
- 2 to 5 years in state prison
- Fine of up to $250,000
If previously convicted of Calculated Cannabis Conspiracy or of Possession or Delivery of Cannabis between 50 to 2,000 grams or of Possession of 20 to 200 Cannabis Sativa plants:
Class 1 Felony
- 4 to 15 years in state prison
- Fine of up to $250,000
Probation Possible? – Yes.
Supervision Possible? – No.

'Vibrant Living' Open House Friday
Jul 22, 2015 12:39PM
By DigMB Staff
Jayne Justice
You can find out more about health, wellness, and nutrition Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Manhattan Beach during Jayne Justice's "Vibrant Living, Inside & Out" Open House. The holistic health and fitness coach is hosting an event designed to help others "feel good," have "fun," and be pampered.
Justice, who is frequently seen on Kangoo Jumps rebound shoes on the Manhattan Beach Pier and was recently on the Today Show discussing nutrition (video can be seen at end of article), practices what she preaches, offering her expertise in preventive health and fitness. Her early experience as a clinical dietitian in a hospital prompted her to take her educational and work experience beyond that setting for the broader benefit of others.
"I love creating opportunities for our own bodies to heal itself," she says. "Proper nutrition, regular exercise, supplements, adequate sleep, and less stress allows us to function at our optimum, ultimately allowing us to feel alive and vibrant.
"Having studied a more conventional style of diets and counting calories, I find that a more individualized approach is so much more effective with my clients. Not only does it allow them to eat the food they love, they also will over time develop the eating pattern that can be sustained for a lifetime, while making the changes our bodies need as we age. I love helping my clients achieve their goals and watch the transformation unfold."
Friday's Open House allows participants to "get to know local healers and coaches that are passionate about health and looking good. I love to host events that bring people together, especially in healthy, feel good, inspiring, motivating ways. We have some great practitioners and products in our beach community."
Justice's Superfoods Workshop from 11 a.m. to 12 noon will include tastes of "cacao truffles, bee pollen, healthy snacks" and will show how to "incorporate all in a powerhouse smoothie that you can customize and make daily." The workshop costs $25 per person, or $20 each if you bring a friend. RSVP via email, please.
Information on the award-winning shapewear Ruby Ribbon Clothing will be presented from 2 to 3 p.m. with age-defying skin care and a new supplement to boost brain health, mental clarity and memory will be presented in "Beauty & Brains" from 4 to 5 p.m. Both presentations are free. Anne De Martini and Karen Slater will make those presentations, respectively.
Reduced-cost one-on-one 45-minute sessions with Justice, including Bars sessions, and Intuitive Life Coach and Healer Carrie Kurtz are available for advance booking for $49 each.
Youth Elixirs and Glow Cocktails will be served throughout the open house.
Justice holds a bachelor of science in nutrition from William Woods University and completed her dietetic internship at the University of Iowa City Hospitals and Clinics.
To book an appointment or get more information, email Justice at firstname.lastname@example.com. The Open House is at 3201 Pacific Ave., MB.

Anti-Paparazzi Scarf Ruins Flash Photography
This is the Anti-Paparazzi Scarf developed by Saif Siddiqui, who came up with the idea for a highly reflective scarf after a bike reflector ruined one of his photographs, presumably while trying to take a picture of a bicycle's tits. Previously: this other line of anti-paparazzi wear. The scarf has hit mass production but the cheapest model will set you back around $268, making it significantly cheaper to just cover yourself in bike reflectors. Also, the scarf only works with flash photography, so don't think you're safe running around during daylight hours with no pants on and a scarf wrapped around your head. I mean, if you care about people taking pictures of you. You know what I do to prevent the paparazzi from taking pictures of me? Not be famous. It works amazing. Still, I would love one of these for photobombing group photos at the bar. Surprise, it's me again, girls!
Keep going for a shot of DMX demonstrating his scarf, because apparently that's how Ruff Ryders roll.
Thanks to n0nentity, who only shows up in photos as a wisp of smoke. Creepy!

Home ownership with less maintenance is becoming an increasingly popular lifestyle choice.
The ice storms and difficult weather over this last winter not only cost damage of biblical proportion, but wreaked havoc on tree canopies across Ontario. In the Greater Toronto Area arborists are expecting to have to tend to the weakened branches and trees for many years to come, until they recover.
In Toronto alone it's been estimated that 20% of the urban canopy was destroyed, something that could take a decade or more to recover. If you've been in Toronto lately looking at homes, you may have noticed neighbourhoods that have lost anywhere from 50-80% of their urban canopy.
That all translates into higher utility bills in both the winter and summer, and higher bills to get trees pruned more often.
Did you know that in Toronto alone there are over 10 million trees? That's right. 10 million! Only 4 million of these trees are publically owned, which means most of the maintenance and care is going to fall on private home and land owners to pick up the slack.
Even worse, damaged trees require much more maintenance than their damage-free counterparts. Arborist Todd Irvine says that it could take years of careful maintenance to restore a tree to its former glory and strength.
"If you think about soldiers going to war, there are ones that will be killed off, unfortunately, during the war and there are ones that will come back with injuries that require years of care. It's kind of like that," said Irvine.
Some homeowners don't want to deal with the hassles of trees - but they play an important role in our environment here in Southern Ontario. The reason that the GTA has been able to withstand so many of the torrential downpours that we get is because of the trees.
As water hits the canopy it begins to slow down, trees are a natural barrier and lesson flash flooding risk.
While Oakville received as much of the ice storms as anyone else in the GTA, it's been noted that more and more of our urban canopy has survived the storm compared with other communities in the area. The City is still collecting debris from the storm, but for the most part, the situation is getting back to normal.
Until recently there was no concern about homeowners removing trees (up to 20cm at breast height) and up to 4 trees each year. But with the canopy still on its way to recovering, this may soon change. Either way, it's always good to think of the future. With severe weather always a threat on the horizon and the threat of the Emerald Ash Borer, it's a good step in the right direction.
Looking for a luxury home with lots of beautiful, mature trees? Thinking about buying an Oakville luxury home of your own? Give us a call today and find out what all that Oakville has to offer you!

Mobile Web Traffic Continues Rapid Rise, Monetization Strategies Emerging
Nearly every month new research rolls in reporting on the rapid rise of mobile web traffic. According to web analytics firm StatCounter, mobile devices (excluding tablets) accounted for 19.1% of global internet usage in November 2013, which represents a 51.6% increase from a year ago. (Tablet internet usage grew at a similar pace but still accounts for just 4.8% of global usage). And according to a quarterly report by public relations and digital agency Walker Sands, website traffic from mobile devices (including tablets) accounted for 31% of all website traffic in Q4 2013, up 35% since Q4 2012.
In the News
Parse.ly, a web analytics service, conducted a study to discover how much of the growing mobile traffic went to news sites and when those mobile visits reached their peak. Parse.ly measured news traffic within its network of domains—any website with Parse.ly's javascript embedded on it—throughout October 2013. That traffic amounted to roughly five billion pageviews. A fifth of the websites measured were magazine domains, including titles like Parents Magazine, The Atlantic, and Conde Nast Traveler.
According to the study (The Authority Report), mobile made up 13.8% of news site traffic. Of that mobile traffic, 6.5% was from tablets and 7.3% from smartphones.
The study also tracked when mobile news reading occurred, which did not coincide with desktop and laptop reading. Where non-mobile news traffic decreased during evening hours, mobile increased. Mobile news traffic on average was highest on Wednesdays between 8 and 10 p.m., making up about 20% of all news traffic. Desktop and laptop reading peaked around midday generating over 80% of news traffic.
Although magazines made up only a small portion of the sites tracked, Parse.ly CEO Sachin Kamdar thinks these numbers should be aspirational for magazine publishers. "A lot of these news sites we've tracked are digital first. The data is what magazines should see in mobile traffic or are already seeing."

If you forget Valentine's Day, give a hippopotamus
Top marks if you can name the two largest mammals on Earth. The hippopotamus is the third largest, and if you forget Valentines Day next week, remember to be romantic the following day, Thursday 15 February, International Hippopotamus Day.
One of the best places in the world to see hippos in all their glory is Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. A trip there is the perfect Valentine's Day gift; it's certainly memorable.
Experts have dubbed South Luangwa one of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries, and not without reason. Boutique luxury safari operator, Sanctuary Retreats, points out that the concentration of hippo around the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons is among the most intense in Africa – with the official hippo count an impressive 48 per kilometre along the Luangwa River, and an estimated 6000 hippo living throughout the 9050 square kilometre park.
The hippopotamus is usually just called the hippo, which makes the plural easier: one hippo, two hippos. The plural of hippopotamus can be either hippopotami or hippopotamuses. Most grammarians prefer the latter.
Romantic hippos
Apart from hippopotamus, South Luangwa is rich in natural beauty and other wildlife, including lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and yet largely devoid of tourists – which makes it one of Africa's best-kept secrets. For the savvy traveller looking ahead of the curve, it is the perfect African destination for an authentic safari experience.
Zambia offers great safari experiences year round, but if you really want to see hippo in all their glory, the very best time to visit is during the dry season from May to October when they congregate around the Luangwa River, one of the last surviving sources of water.
Sanctuary Retreats operates two properties within the Park. Perched on an escarpment overlooking a floodplain in the South Luangwa National Park, the luxurious Sanctuary Puku Ridge Camp offers stunning vistas with perfect game sighting opportunities. Nestled in a remote game-rich area of the park, lion, leopard, elephant and zebra can frequently be seen. The camp has also been constructed to blend into the local surroundings and designed to leave the lowest possible carbon footprint.
Or for a truly regal experience, the luxuriously appointed Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge is recommended. Set on a magnificent hilltop location, the Lodge was once the personal retreat of Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, and provides panoramic views across the game-rich valleys of South Luangwa National Park.
If your clients really want to get their hippo on, now is definitely the time for them to book a trip to Zambia with Sanctuary Retreats' "Stay Longer, Pay Less" extended stay offer – where they can stay at one or more of its African camps and lodges throughout 2018 and save up to 40%.
- Stay 4 – 6 nights at any combination of Sanctuary Retreats African camps and lodges including Sanctuary Puku Ridge Camp and Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge and save up to 30%. Or stay 7+ nights and save up to 40%.
- Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge is normally priced from USD 390 per person per night twin share.
- Sanctuary Puku Ridge Camp normally priced from USD 450 per person per night twin share.

072: The PE Umbrella with Ryan Ellis
Todays guest is Ryan Ellis from The PE Umbrella Podcast
Ryan is a primary school teacher and provides P.E teacher training in the UK. His experience also includes football coaching in the USA and he is the founder of The PE Umbrella Podcast.
The 4 Umbrellas make up the backbone of what The PE Umbrella represents and stands for.
The Green Umbrella – Cognitive (thinking) Domain
The Red Umbrella – Social Domain
The Purple Umbrella – Affective (emotional) Domain
"…It was in one of my early interviews with Bob Knipe that we hit on the topic of WHY I chose the name 'The PE Umbrella' for my podcast. My response was simply that PE covers so many aspects of life and skills, it was an Umbrella term for many things. Bob went one better than me. He suggested that he had imagined the term as a metaphor.
An Umbrella that children, and later adults would carry with them through their lives, containing skills and knowledge that protect them from the world around them and situations they may find themselves in, as a real umbrella shelters an individual from the rain.
Later, while mulling over this concept, I took it one step further, and instead of an umbrella that simply protects them, it is one they always add skills to, and can choose when to use these skills to tackle the world around them head on!
And so the 4 umbrellas was born. Each Umbrella representing one of the four domains of learning.
I see Physical Education as being at the forefront of the education & development of all children. The Physical has never been/nor should ever be in my eyes the sole focus of a great Physical Education program. Lessons can and should use purposeful questioning that enables the children to reflect on WHAT they are doing, WHY they are doing it and HOW they will know they have achieved it. Almost every activity has the potential to explore all 4 of these Umbrellas, and the resources at the PE Umbrella explain just how the same activity can lend itself to learning in any of the four domains, whether you choose to focus solely on one or touch upon a number of them, well, thats entirely up to you. After-all, YOU are the teacher and YOU know your students the best!"

As summer draws on, wildflowers and grasses start to set seed. Because they're no longer needed to power seed production, some of the leaves and stems start to turn brown and die back.
If you are growing wildflowers in your garden, this is the time to start thinking about dead-heading in a big way…..we're talking about the annual cut-back.
This meadow area photographed in July 2015 is almost – but not quite – ready for it's annual haircut. When I visited this garden at Felbrigge Hall in Norfolk, the butterflies were loving this area but the flowers had almost finished and the grasses were beginning to turn brown and strawlike.
In my garden, the annual cut back usually happens around August. It's July now and I'm still seeing plenty of clover, knapweed, birdsfoot trefoil and scabiousflowers. The oxeye daisies have just about finished flowering and are starting to form seedheads. Ditto the campions and the yellow rattle.
The grasses have formed their seed heads and have turned to a beautiful straw colour. This year, my mini-meadow had more grasses in it than I wanted so I don't want those seeds to fall back to earth and germinate. I want to be discouraging the grass, not nurturing it. This year then, I'm going to sacrifice some of the flowers and cut the meadow back in July. Hopefully, some of the species will have a second flush of flowers later in the year.
My mini-meadow was created using Traditional Meadowmat. There are five different types of Meadowmat, four of them should be cut back in summer, but Meadowmat for Birds and Bees needs to be trimmed in late winter (February-March) so as to get the full benefit of the bird-friendly seed heads.
Why You Need To Cut Back Your Wildflower Meadow
The idea of cutting back your meadow and taking away the debris is to keep soil fertility as low as possible.
During the spring and summer, plants have drawn nutrients from the soil to help them grow. These nutrients are now trapped within the leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of those plants. Left to her own devices, Mother Nature would let the dead material fall to the ground and rot. As it rotted, the nutrients trapped within it would be recycled and returned to the soil.
As a meadow manager, you are aiming to reduce soil fertility – because wild flowers favour low-nutrient soil – so you can interrupt the natural process and take the dead material away. That way it can't add to soil fertility.
So – how you cut your meadow is important.
Using The Right Tools For The Job
If you use a strimmer, it will send little bits of debris flying here there and everywhere and you have no chance at all of collecting them up.
A lawnmower simply can't cope with the long grass and the thick stalks
Ideally, you need either a scythe. Personally I'd love to learn how to use a scythe but I'm pretty uncoordinated and there's a strong risk of me cutting my ankles.
Wildflower meadows were traditionally cut with a scythe. This takes a bit of practice but will give you a full-body workout
As I only have 5 or 6 square metres of meadow, I tend to get on my knees and cut it with shears to start with, then run over it with the lawnmower on its highest setting a couple of days later to make it look neater.
It does take a couple of hours but I never cease to be amazed at how many creatures are living in the bottom of the sward. Spiders, beetles, grubs, the occasional frog, slug, snails- all sorts. Thankfully I've not come across a snake in there yet – not sure what I'd do if I found one. I suffer from Ophidiophobia so there's likely to be a bad reaction.
Tidying Up
It's a good idea to leave all the clippings on the surface for a couple of days. They'll dry out beautifully and you can store them to use as pet food later – or even as packaging for parcels. Hay is incredibly versatile.
Not only will you get a nice crop of hay, but the flower seeds will also drop back into the sward where they stand a good chance of growing and giving you some colour next spring.
When you do take the clippings away, make sure you gather up everything. You don't want anything to add nutrients back into your soil.
Your meadow will look a bit sorry for itself for a couple of weeks. A bit brown and straw-like but once it's had a good rain on it and some sunshine it will soon start to perk up. By the time autumn arrives, it'll be lovely and green again.
To Summarise
- Most wildflower meadows should be cut back in July or August, once most of the flowers have turned to seed and the grasses are brown and straw-like
- Meadowmat for Birds and Bees should be cut back in late winter – so as to make the most of seedheads
- Use a scythe or shears to trim your Meadow. Not a strimmer!
- Leave clippings to dry on top of the Meadow for a couple of days before removing them completely
- Your Meadow will look brown and sad for a couple of weeks but will soon perk up after a good drink and some sunshine

Ice Pops
They can soothe your throat when it's sore, swollen, or dry. They also keep you hydrated, which is key when you fight the flu. Getting enough fluids keeps your mucus thin and eases congestion.
Look for ice pops made from 100% fruit juice to make sure you get nutrients and not sugar water. You can also make your own frozen juice bars.
Turkey Sandwich
It has lean protein, a key part of a healthy diet. And although you may not feel like it, eating helps give your body energy to fight illness. Add cranberry sauce for a spike of flavor and comfort-food taste.
Vegetable Juice
Since you may not feel up to making and eating a salad while you recover from the flu, try a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice instead. You'll load up on antioxidants that boost the immune system, your body's defense against germs.
Do you crave a sweet taste? Go with 100% fruit juice.
Chicken Soup
It helps you get the fluids you need and it's nourishing, too. Some scientific evidence suggests that it may help with healing. Hot chicken soup may also improve the way tiny hair-like parts in the passages of your nose protect your body from bacteria and viruses, but more research is needed.
If you feel up to it, garlic can be a good choice to spice up foods like soup. It appears to have some ability to boost the immune system and may help you get fewer colds. But larger and better studies are needed to see if this is true.
It may help relieve your stomachache and nausea. Some studies suggest it fights inflammation, too. You can add it to other foods, either freshly grated or as a powder. Another option: Have a drink of flat ginger ale.
Hot Tea
Drink green, oolong, and black tea to take in some antioxidants. Breathe in the steam to help clear your stuffy nose. Add a spoonful of honey and a squeeze of lemon to soothe your sore throat. If caffeine bothers you, try decaf or herbal versions instead.
Whether you slice it, mash it, or eat it whole, bananas are usually easy on the stomach. They can be a go-to food if you've been hit with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Toast or crackers are convenient foods when you're fighting illness. They pair well with chicken noodle soup, and their satisfying crunch can take the edge off hunger when your stomach can't handle much.
Meal Replacement Drinks
If your appetite has returned, try one of these to make sure you get the right nutrients and calories. Look for lactose-free drinks that are low in sugar and have at least 6 grams of protein. But if real food can be eaten, that's always the better choice.

Providing Information on ways for Taming Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, using Alternative and Natural Ways!

Reversing Multiple Sclerosis Neuropathy or MS Nerve Damage Using Vitamin B12?
is there anything natural or alternative that can help to reverse the
damage to the nerves, or at least reduce the problems with the
nerves functioning?
That is one of the big questions, when it comes to Multiple Sclerosis.
I have been searching for something myself, when it comes to
reversing or at least reducing the peripheral neuropathy or nerve
damage or nerve function problems, which my doctor has told
me for several years that I have had a major problem with,
since I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
I am excited to say that I think I found something that is
helping to reduce the nerve function problems in my legs,
feet, hands, and arms in many ways.
What is it that can help??
Vitamin B12 is a natural way to help repair nerve damage...at least
that is what information I found, while doing my own research for me.
I am so excited to let you know about what I am finding
that taking extra of vitamin B12 is helping with, when it
comes to Multiple Sclerosis neuropathy or MS nerve damage.
I'm not totally sure that taking the higher doses of B12 will reverse
the nerve damage totally or the peripheral neuropathy, just yet, since
I have only been taking extra vitamin B12 myself for 2 weeks, but
since I started taking the extra B12, I have already found that my
legs and feet and hands are functioning so much
better than they have for years.
If you are at least curious as to how I have found that taking
the extra B12 is helping me with nerve function, then...

i take an incredible amount of B-12, and D too....
my neuro started me on both of those immediately... oh and iron too..
the iron helps with spasticity, B-12 with neuropathy and energy, D for slowing progression....
i don't know if it really is working or not but i can say that when i run out my supplements i don't feel as good... so something must be going on there...

I take large amounts of vitamin D and that helps a lot in reducing the MS attacks. I started taking the higher doses of B12 about a month ago, so I am not sure yet that the B12 can reverse more extreme nerve damage from MS yet, but I have found that taking the higher doses of B12 has been helping give me more energy, reducing the fatigue and it does help my nerves to function better than they have for a very long time. I did find that I couldn't tolerate taking vitamin B12, when I was first diagnosed with MS, since my mercury level was very high and mercury reacts with B12 to form the methyl form of mercury, which is much more toxic and causes much more nerve damage than any other form of mercury. Now that my mercury level is much lower than it was at first, I am finally able to tolerate taking vitamin B12. Also most people diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis do have lower levels of B12 and need to take it if they can tolerate it. The methyl B12 absorbs much better than other forms of B12, since people with MS also have absorption problems when it comes to vitamin B12.

Also, I don't take iron now, since many people with the MS, who have the CCSVI condition may have much higher levels of iron in the brain. My doctor does regular blood tests for iron and if I do come up low in iron, then he will tell me that I need to take iron. Not all people with MS have the CCSVI condition, and I am not sure if I do or not, but so far I don't seem to need to take iron, as a supplement.

As far as spasticity goes, reducing spasticity has been a problem for me too in the past. What I found that works much better is taking calcium and magnesium together. Usually, people take twice as much Calcium as Magnesium, but since spasticity is often a result of a more severe Magnesium deficiency, it helps to relieve the spasticity by taking equal amounts of calcium to magnesium. Taking extra magnesium, along with the calcium helps to greatly reduce the spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis, at least that is what I have found to work for me. I hope this helps you to find more relief from the spasticity.

I have been and continue to be a long term silver bull. I own physical silver. As a kid, in the early 1980's I was tasked with hauling silver out of a vault. I remember how shiny the 100 oz bricks where. While my Grandmother was getting ready to sell her horde at the time, I always remember those bricks.
In the current move up in the price of Silver, a friend of mine and I arrived at what I thought was a great deal at the time. I traded him a brick I had in inventory, for a used bronco 4×4 he had bought brand new 17 years ago. Silver had just cracked the $21 dollar range and I was thinking it was due for a pull back. I had expected silver to return to the $18 per oz range where I would have replaced the brick at.
This is all said in context of my friend letting me know how much he was enjoying our trade. Meanwhile, I should have just paid cash, this trade is now costing me an ever increasing sum. or at least it feels that way.
I feel like "Golum" when he misplaced his Precious…
Tonight, Silver trades at $29.65 and I would not be shocked if it is trading north of $30 per oz when I wake up in the morning.
