Vancouver News | Local Breaking | CTV News Vancouver
7 years after abandoning the penny, are Canadians ready to scrap the nickel too?
VANCOUVER -- Seven years after ditching the penny, it appears most Canadians are on board.
A poll by Vancouver-based Research Co. suggested that, of those surveyed, about 75 per cent agree with the decision to take the penny out of circulation back in 2013.
When broken down by age, respondents under 34 were the largest support base.
Support for scrapping the one-cent coin was highest in Alberta, where 78 per cent of those asked said they were happy with the choice.
But of the 1,000 adults surveyed online late last month, some said they were against it.
Opposition was highest on Canada's coasts and in its most populous province. One-in-five Maritimers, British Columbians and Ontarians polled said they moderately or strongly disagreed.
Respondents were also asked whether they'd like to get rid of the nickels in their wallets, but the idea appeared to be less popular.
Across Canada more than a third would be willing to lose it, but 55 per cent said they'd like to keep the coin.
Younger adults (18 to 34) were more likely to support it than those in the oldest bracket (55 and up), at 41 per cent in favour compared to 29.
Those most attached to the nickel were residents of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Atlantic Canada, Ontario and B.C.
Three years ago, financial group Desjardins predicted the end of the nickel within five years following results of a study into how Canadians use cash.
The report was a follow to a study the group conducted about a decade ago, which went further, suggesting Canada also consider getting rid of the $5 bill.
In 2008, Desjardins advised getting rid of the penny first, then the nickel. The report also called for the elimination of Canada's smallest bill, but recommended introducing a $5 coin instead.
Desjardins also said Canada should consider coins of 20- and 50-cent value.
Following the 2016 report, an internal federal analysis showed the government had studied the pros and cons of the nickel, but Ottawa insisted at the time it had no plans to take the coin out of circulation.

To those in the States, happy 4th! These couple months of rain and heat, while indicators that summer is in session, also mark a time of reflection and recovery-- midyear. I once read a book in which the main character decidedly refused to acknowledge or celebrate new year until the seasons had changed and spring had blossomed. I must've read that book seven or eight years ago-- I don't even remember the title-- but for some reason, that was something that always resonated with me. It certainly makes sense. There is little to be considered "new" about the new year. (My birthday falls the first week of the year, so on a personal note is does have that, however this is still beside the point.) The only thing that changes between December 31st and January 1st is the snow no longer falls with the suggestion of a potential white Christmas. You go from one gloomy winter day to another.
I preface, because I feel the need to explain how midyear could feel more like a fresh start than the new year. In 2018, it certainly did for me. And this is the inspiration for this blog post. I thought it appropriate that my first post on my new blog be a reflection on how things have changed, and how I hope they continue to change, as I embrace the season of renewal brought along by midyear.
r e f l e c t i o n
The first six months of the year, in all honesty, were pretty rocky. Between reconstructing who and what I associated with, reassessing what I valued, and figuring out my morals as a person-- I went through quite the ordeal. However, on the other side, I can say I'm better for it. I've learned that you can't expect to always be happy-- and that's okay. Sometimes life throws some nasty things at you, but if you survive (and you always do) you come out stronger because of it. You can't live life as if it's a before and after picture. It's more like swimming on the surface of water. Sometimes you're holding your breath underneath, and sometimes you're inhaling fresh air up above. Being happy or unhappy isn't some permanent residence where you're stuck for eternity. Everything is so much more temporary than we realize. No-- I'm not immune to being sad or trapped in my own life, but I understand how to let things roll off me easier than in the past. And that's a good thing.
I learned a lot about appreciating what I'm blessed enough to already have in my life. I understand the value in loving the people you have while you can and in living in the moment. Because really, this moment is all we're guaranteed. There's time to be sentimental, there's time to anticipate the future, but right now, all I have to do is live. Accepting change and being okay with knowing that euphoric feelings eventually go away are both things I've taken on these past six months.
l o o k i n g a h e a d
In the months to come I have goals in mind that I would like to stay true to. There are, of course, the simple (or seemingly so) ones, such as reading more and getting more sleep. I'd also like to make a point to stick to my schedules and stay organized and productive until it truly becomes a habit. And of course maintaining a blog during the school year is something I'd like to achieve. (As I do partially blame the increased coursework for the dying out of my blog circa 2017.)
There are other things I'd like to make an effort to do as well, and these require more conscious effort on my part. I'd like to stop holding myself accountable for things I shouldn't be responsible for. I tend to stress over or take on the burden of things I'm under no obligation to deal with. If the only reason I feel like I must do something is because I've held myself to that standard, I need to relax. Ultimately, what makes me happiest will be what is better for me in the long run. This means recognizing the negative things in my life I've tuned out. Similarly, I'd like to continue the effort I've made to let go of things out of my control. Ever since I started working on keeping myself from freaking out about things I'm unable to change, I've noticed an improvement in my overall well-being. My happiness and contentment are no longer such fragile inconsistencies. I'm able to acknowledge upsetting things without allowing them to ruin my day or week or whatever in may be. Attitudes like these are things I'd like to implement in the rest of my year and, ultimately, my life.
As far as what's to come, I can only say I'm a mix of fearful and excited. The second half of this year brings about the start of a new academic year-- potentially the most pivotal in one's primary educational career-- and while I'm beyond nervous about handling the stress, I'm looking forward to what it brings as well.
The same can be said about clean sheets + potted plants. I can't wait to see where this road leads.

Goodreads blurb:
Sixteen year-old Breena Perdit has spent her life as a barmaid, innocent to her father's past and happily free from the Elemental gifts that would condemn her to a life in the Egrian King's army. Until the day that three Elemental soldiers recognize her father as a traitor to the throne and Bree's father is thrown in jail—along with the secrets from his last mission as the King's assassin. Secrets that could help the King win a war. Secrets he refuses to share.
Desperate to escape before the King's capricious whims prove her and her father's downfall, Bree bargains with him: information for their lives. It's a good trade. And she has faith she'll get them both out of the King's grasp with time.
But that was before the discovery that she's the weapon the King's been waiting for in his war.
Now, time is running out. To save her father's life and understand her own, Bree must unravel the knot of her father's past before the King takes his life– and uses her to bring a nation to its knees.
Review by Katy Haye:
Threats of Sky and Sea is an entertaining fantasy novel. It uses familiar tropes, but handles them well, and there is a really good twist I thoroughly enjoyed catching onto before it was revealed to the characters.
I liked how complex and tangled the story was. I enjoyed speculating how it might all work out. And the world-building was superlative: rich and detailed without being overwhelming. I really felt as though I was there.
The one weakness I have to mention was the pacing. Threats of Sky and Sea has clearly been well edited from a line and spelling point of view and was blissfully free of typos, but (and I know I bang on about this, but it's a valid point) for me, it needed a stronger structural edit, which would have pointed out that the slow pace had the unfortunate effect of making Bree come across as a passive character, waiting for things to happen rather than making them happen, or at least preparing to play her part when they did.
But, there's a series (it's okay, you can read this one singly, it ends properly without a cliffhanger in sight) so there's scope for Bree to develop.
I dithered so much on scoring because pace is very important to me, but overall, I want to return to this world and find out how these characters get on in the future, so it gets a 4.
Many thanks to Jennifer Ellision, who provided me with a free copy of Threats of Sky and Sea in exchange for an honest review.

Glacier White And Monster Hunter PS4 Pro Bundles Coming To The West
The supergiant slaying of Monster Hunter World is almost upon us and the PlayStation 4 game has got fans in predictable state of hype. To celebrate the upcoming title's release later this month, Sony has announced an appropriately-themed Monster Hunter PS4 Pro that makes its way to the Western region in just a few weeks' time.
Dubbed "The Rathalos Edition", the console will come with a matte black paint job, complete with a stylish Rathalos wyvern design splashed on the side. The full bundle will also include a matching red DualShock 4 controller, as well as a copy of the game (of course). The limited quantity package will run for $449.99 USD and will be exclusive to GameStop.
An all-new Monster Hunter PS4 Pro wasn't the only new piece of Sony hardware announced. Previously exclusive to a limited Destiny 2 bundle, the Glacier White PlayStation 4 Pro will finally be available as a standalone purchase. The $399.99 package will contain the same contents on a normal PS4 console, but with the lovely difference of a bright white finish. This new color will also mark the first time the premium console was made available in anything other than jet black, a feat Microsoft had beat to the punch with the Xbox One S.
Pre-orders for both the Monster Hunter and Glacier White bundles are available on GameStop's official website. The Monster Hunter PS4 Pro will release alongside the game on January 26, and Glacier White variety will be available slightly earlier on January 22.

'The Return of Assimilationism: Race, Multiculturalism and New Labour'
Shukra, Kalbir; Back, Les; Khan, Azra; Keith, Michael and Solomos, John. 2002. 'The Return of Assimilationism: Race, Multiculturalism and New Labour'. Sociological Research Online, 7(2), [Article]No full text available
Official URL: http://www.socresonline.org.uk/7/2/back.html
Abstract or Description
This paper develops a critique of the politics of race and multiculturalism under New Labour. It argues that as a political formation New Labour is fraught with incommensurable impulses and commitment with regard to issues of multiculturalism, nationalism, racial justice and racism. While there have been palpable shifts and important new legislative initiatives, one of the consequences is that the project of assimilation has been reinvigorated under New Labour. This in turn leaves the normative whiteness that colonises British institutions and political life intact.

Normally spring has people thinking of fresh, light, foods. But then there's spring in Chicago where I woke up this week to snow on the ground… I mean seriously it's almost April. That being said I had something a little warmer in mind when putting together the ingredients for this month's Chopped Kitchen Challenge.
The ingredients for this month were Artichokes, Leeks, Garlic, and Olive Oil. Seasonal, savory, and perfect for mixing with wine and cheese to make a big batch of creamy, cozy, risotto.
This was my first time ever cleaning/cooking artichokes, and I may or may not have had to go through a few youtube tutorials to make sure that the parts I was using were edible. Surprisingly everything came out and even the BF liked it, though he said it would be better with some bacon 😉
Spring Green Risotto
Serves 4 dinner portions, 6 side portions
35-40 minutes
2 leeks, green and white parts thinly sliced
2 Artichokes, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 TBSP Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine, optional just use more water/broth if desired
3-4 cups water, veggie broth, or a combination of both
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for topping
Put your broth or water in a small sauce pot and heat to a simmer. Slice the leeks and artichokes and mince the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add in the leeks and artichokes. Sautee for 3-5 minutes until tender, add garlic, and rice and saute for another minute until garlic is fragrant. Add in wine (if using) and stir to get the brown bits up off the bottom of the pan.
Add in 1/2 cup warm water/broth and stir to combine. Let the risotto simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost absorbed before adding another 1/2 cup of warm liquid. Continue for 20-25 minutes until rice is al dente and creamy. Stir in the parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm (it loses the creaminess as it cools) topped with extra cheese as desired.
Have you ever cooked with artichokes before? What do you do when preparing an ingredient you're unfamiliar with?

Day 6 – Biggest Letdown
I mentioned Inquisition already but at least I still had fun with it. I think actually let down to a point where I have no incentive to play it at all would be Destiny 2. The graphics were amazing, the trailers great and it looked like a fun game. I am not sure if it's bc I am used to things like Overwatch now but when I played Destiny 2 I was bored out of my mind by the mechanic, the slow moving everything, the enemies that are so predictable I could probably watch a movie and learn another language while playing and the silent protagonist who feels even more out of place than silent protagonists normally feel in newer games. I didn't expect a brilliant new gaming invention, I was prepared for something medium – and it still went below that with ease…
That would probably be Assassin's Creed 3. I had so much fun with AC1 and the Ezio trilogy (AC2) but the third… nah. One thing I loved most about Assassin's Creed (despite all the repetition within the gameplay) is the way the character's moved and the beautiful, beautiful scenery. AC3 took the fluid movements to such extremes that it was beyond any credibility, every cloth moved as if in water which was completely ridiculous, and the scenery of 18th century North America was … so… boring and brown-grey. I got maybe an hour into the game before I put it away.

The biggest letdown – that's easy: BioWare not making Single Player DLCs for Mass Effect: Andromeda. So much potential, such a fun game, the most relatable protagonist ever (for me), and they kill it. Just like that.
The second biggest letdown (which can at least be fixed by a mod): BioWare making Cassandra Pentaghast straight. UGH. [/disgusted noise]
I'll always be salty about that.
Huh. Both huge letdowns are BioWare fuck-ups. I guess that only if you really care about something, it hits you that hard.
Besides of nice games I would like to play being platform exclusive (like horizon zero dawn and zelda) and me being horrible with a controller ( and don't own neither a ps4 nor a switch)?
Not really a letdown, but I expected more from Elder scrolls online. Compared to the time I've spend with oblivion and skyrim (and still do), I've dropped ESO quite fast. Guess MMOs are not exactly my type of game…
Ni No Kuni – Wrath of the White Witch. I wanted to love this game so badly, because of the beautiful Ghibli-like art-work, and the story sounded nice, too… but the tediously repetitive fights and horrible controls + gaming mechanics were so off-putting that I quit and never touched the game again. Sadly. Because I really wanted to know how the story ends.
Well there are some games which let me down, but mostly it wasn't only the game's fault. In the case of Overwatch (which i somehow like very much) i never found the right mixture of time and muse for this game to catch me.
AC3 was very similar for me as for Julie (besides i dropped right after i got the ship, from that moment on somehow all magic was blewn away), although i liked the prologue much more than the beginnings of all the AC's before (except from 1 maybe). But i wouldn't call AC3 a let down, i guess i just played too much AC-Titles straight after another 😉
But the award goes to Star Wars The Old Republic.
I was so thrilled for this game and had lots of fun. As long as i played as a smuggler and didn't go too deep. Soon i realized that most other storys where quite dull, the multiple-choice-dialogues where nothing more then a gimmick and the gameplay alone wasn't enough to catch me together with the thinned-StarWars-Design. Maybe it's because i'm not easy with MMOs. Right in that time i played a lot of TheSecretWorld and hoped that SWTOR would somehow deliver something similar atmospheric with StarWars, but it didn't worked out for me :/
But i'm planning to give it a new try, maybe allready this winter 🙂
I agree with everything Anna said.
If it's one thing SWTOR is really good at, it's the stories. That is this game's greatest strength.
And I gotta say, while the smuggler's story is fun, it's probably the one with the least involvement in the overarcing events of that timeline. But even the smuggler's story ends quite differently depending on your choices.
Every class story is different, and all offer a different perspective. The most straight forward one is the Jedi Knight, and the most "behind the scenes" is the Imperial Agent. ALL are well worth playing. All have their own "WTF just happened?" moments. And the voice acting is first class.
Well, maybe not the male consular. Or the male agent, Or the male bounty hunter. Just ignore those guys. 😉
And it's completely soloable. You can ignore a lot of the the MMO aspect. I still see SWTOR as a "single player MMO" with optional co-op mode.
It is a BioWare game above all. And it's design- and world-wise closer to the animated series "The Clone Wars" (and probably "Rebels") than the movies, true. But honestly, I prefer the "Old Republic" era to the movie era. 😉
While I as well see the free-to-play mode as an extended demo, you CAN play the vanilla storylines without a subscription. Give it another try. *nudge*
I totally wholeheartedly agree with everything Wüstenratte wrote. Overall my personal letdown was definitely Dragon Age Inquisition. I would't say it is a bad game and at a certain point I kind of liked it, but – beside the Cassandra incident – the open world isn't exactly my kind of thing, there aren't many opportunities to customize the protagonists character and my personal failure was to read every spoiler before playing the game (sorry DAI, not your fault). But as often the problem was a certain expectation I had after DA II, maybe I would have loved it with more passion, if it was my first Dragon Age game.

When is a micro pub not a micro pub?
Or should I re-define the question and say how far can a pub deviate from the micro pub association definition and still be a micro pub. Or does no one give a toss, so long as the premises in question are a) pleasant and conducive to drink in and b) serve decent beer?
A Micropub is a small freehouse which listens to its customers, mainly serves cask ales, promotes conversation, shuns all forms of electronic entertainment and dabbles in traditional pub snacks – copied from micropubassociation.co.uk .
I could add c) take your wife, mother and daughter and d) all the criteria, a) to c) are fulfilled to the satisfaction of all concerned.
In the case of the Doghouse in Weymouth all of my boxes were ticked, and more, because it's got free wi-fi, cunningly rigged up to ensure you 'Like' their Facebook page before you get online. It's also got wine, mead, cider, Gins, Rum, Liquors and a reasonable fridge full of bottles and cans, including Belgian classics. And real ales of course.
I did wonder how the good people at the micropubassociation.co.uk feel about this? Or is their original definition just an out-moded tag line now, and anything goes so long as it's smallish and beery leaning? I mean, how do these people expect us beer tickers to submit NBSS scores or go on Untappd if there's no electronic stuff allowed?
I'm not sure what I thought of the Doghouse when I first went in, thankfully there were numerous notices apologising for their dishevelled appearance, telling customers they are a work in progress. Over the space of a week I watched the peeling paint at the back of the bar transform itself into first a bare wall and then into a brightly painted canvass on which licensee Dave Jobling was going to affix his collection of flags. he did tell me what they were, but I've forgot.
Dave has no connection with Weymouth, nor with the hospitality industry. Originally employed in the motor trade in his home town of Northampton, it was only after some friends moved down to Weymouth and a conversation in St Giles Ale House, Northampton that the idea of an entirely new venture in Dorset began to develop. Eighteen months and a bit of homework/research later, Dave's wife has a new job in Weymouth and they've bought the freehold on a second hand domestic appliance shop and living in the flat above their own micro pub.
They only opened on June 30th, hence the work in progress rider, but they seem to have developed a bit of a niche already. More than one or two different people in Lyme and Bridport told me to call in, so word has soon got round.
I was a bit dubious about the beer storage at first, simply casks on auto tilt stillage at the back of the bar with a cooling element and an insulating jacket over, the beer being dropped straight into the glass. I needn't have, the Convivial Rabbit in nearby Dorchester has the same set up and they've got into GBG2019 (I actually predicted they'd get in last years 2018 guide).
The beers in the Doghouse are easily of GBG quality, four visits over a week, never below NBSS 3.5 and some 4's. £3.60 – £4 depending on ABV. Dave said he liked to support local and regional brewers, sourcing ales directly where possible. There's twelve casks racked up, but only between four and six pouring at any one time. The empties and racked casks said they did nearly as many Pins as Firkins, which I think is a good idea for a small place and I'm predicting GBG2020 status.
As I said earlier, there's so much more than beer and I wouldn't have got my daughter in if there hadn't been any fruit cider, nor mother without the excellent artisan produced mead. The furniture is a mishmash of tables and chairs, the dusky pink toilets uni-sex, but very clean and tidy and with complimentary feminine hygiene products. It remains to be seen what it will eventually look like, but my daughter would like them to keep the Minions!
The only caveat is the step three quarters of the way along the single room. Dave told me they were going to close after Christmas for a short period so they could relay the entire floor, so hopefully the nasty trip hazard will go.
Verdict – best place in Weymouth for beer, unless you want mainstream.

Project Description
APFS, Chartered Financial Planner
Areas Covered: Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire
David was attracted to True Bearing in 2016 after spending most of his career working for main stream high street banks. For the previous four years David worked for a national accountancy based consulting firm. This allowed him to broaden his experience by advising on a wider range of financial planning issues.
He joined True Bearing to concentrate on what he was qualified for and enjoys doing most – providing financial planning advice for clients. The enthusiasm and energy within the firm to get the right outcome for clients has really impressed David.
Most of David's time is centred on looking after high net worth individuals both pre and post retirement. For David, the real enjoyment of being a financial adviser, is providing clients with bespoke, holistic advice that allows them to enjoy their lives, instead of worrying about what's going on in the world financially.
He states that he often meets clients that have worked hard and saved, but don't really know how to use their money. He describes it as the 'best feeling' when he highlights what options they have – in retirement, semi-retirement, helping other family members or just enjoying themselves more. All the technicalities behind this are his issue to solve, but it's the outcome that benefits the clients.
David works with his clients to explain complex information clearly and simply. He genuinely wants to help people to get the best out of their money ensuring his clients get the right advice on investments, savings and pensions.
David is highly qualified, having attained Chartered Financial Planner status several years ago. He believes it is paramount to hold qualifications in order to advise his clients correctly. More recently, David was promoted to Associate Director as a result of his hard work and continued commitment to delivering outstanding client service.
David has an active family life outside work, with his wife and two children. When time allows, he enjoys riding his motorbike, walking his dog and supporting local community events. He also tries to get to the gym three times per week to keep some sort of fitness level!

In Philadelphia, where infant mortality ranks among the highest in the United States, prenatal care and postnatal care access are major issues for many women and expecting mothers. Although it is well known that prenatal care improves pregnancy outcomes, women report encountering barriers with local health care entities in their efforts to seek and receive prenatal and postnatal care, which may undermine the potential benefits. The purpose of this study was to: 1) gain an understanding of knowledge and attitudes of women of childbearing age regarding pregnancy and their own health, 2) identify strengths and facilitators of prenatal care and maternal healthcare in Philadelphia, and 3) identify barriers and weaknesses to prenatal care and maternal healthcare in Philadelphia. By understanding these factors, recommendations can be made that are informed by the views of the women who seek to access local health care. Twenty-five women participated in five focus group discussions that centered on their experiences during pregnancy and the postnatal period. The sessions were taped and transcribed. In the qualitative analysis process, at least two readers reached consensus on the meaning of each statement. Qualitative analysis revealed the following strengths and facilitators present in the community: breastfeeding classes, support from providers, support from family and friends, education, therapy, and social services. Analysis also identified the following weaknesses and barriers: lack of support from providers, lack of support from family and friends, difficulty or inability to access social services, and lack of education. Based on these results, the views of local clients of the prenatal care system should be considered in efforts to expand services to address the needs of this vulnerable population during pivotal childbearing and childrearing years.

Clarion County Jail Work Release Program Suspended After Workers Smuggle Contraband
CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – The Clarion County Jail Work Release Program was suspended after inmates decided to smuggle contraband into the jail when they returned at the end of the day.
"Work release prisoners were warned numerous times not to bring contraband items back with them to the facility," said Warden Jeff Hornberger. "It was nothing illegal, but the contraband was things like chewing tobacco or smoking tobacco."
The inmates are searched when they returned, but Hornberger said nothing is found.
"Back in the middle of December, we did a complete shakedown of the block and found some contraband," said Hornberger. "They were put in common areas where it could not be identified with one particular person like in the dayroom or bathroom. One person can't be responsible, so they figure no one gets in trouble."
"We told them if this continues, we're going to suspend work release."
The first suspension was three days,
Hornberger warned them that is if it happened again, work release would be shut down indefinitely.
"About a week and a half later, we found more in the block," Hornberger told exploreClarion.com on Thursday.
"We had to take a stand that they need to abide by the rules and regulations. It is a privilege to go out and work while you're incarcerated. We can't tolerate them bringing back contraband items."
The program has been shut down for about a week, and Hornberger said that it's undetermined at this point in time how long it will last.

The Scottish Government has suffered another blow to its controversial Named Person scheme, as those tasked with reworking it admitted they are struggling.
Key data-sharing provisions in the original legislation were struck down by the Supreme Court in July 2016. In November 2017 ministers put forward a Bill to try to fix this, but MSPs demanded a "workable" code of practice before they would agree to progress the Bill.
Back in July, the development panel set up by John Swinney to create this code of practice admitted it wouldn't be able to hit its September 2018 deadline, and asked for the date to be pushed back until later in the autumn.
Several months on, the group has said it is finding it "challenging" to make the guidance "simple, concise and accessible".
Professor Ian Welsh, who chairs the panel, has written to Education Minister John Swinney to say it is proving difficult to provide the necessary safeguards "without making the draft code detailed and complicated".
He added that an "overly complex code of practice would not be user-friendly and could inhibit good professional practice".
Simon Calvert, spokesman for the No to Named Persons campaign, said the letter to Mr Swinney "heaps embarrassment upon embarrassment for the Deputy First Minister".
He said: "Rather than accepting defeat in the Supreme Court and leaving the named person to operate under the same information-sharing laws as everyone else, he insisted on trying to save face by bringing in a new bill.
"It was always a bad idea to layer new information laws on top of perfectly good existing laws."

In this report, Info-Tech Research Group focuses on five trends that will demand the attention of the infrastructure and operations manager in 2017. They require your attention because of threat oropportunity, or both. These are not necessarily new trends. Cloud computing, for example, didn't just land on us. But in each trend, there is something going on - beyond the hype and buzzwords - that is important.
Infrastructure trends reviewed in the report:
In networks, north/south is increasingly giving way to east/west. Most traffic no longer needs to be routed through head office. Software is changing the WAN game, enabling this detour and the ability to intelligently direct traffic across multiple connections. Organizations now have the power to monitor and guide traffic across their network connections, giving them more leverage vis-a-vis ISPs and facilitating the reclamation of the edge of the network.
If you build it, they will come. But what if someone else builds it better? The business model ischanging. The fact is that infrastructure and operations no longer build all of their own capabilities.Increasingly, services off the rack are perfectly fine - no tailor necessary. That's not to say, however,that a personal shopper would be a negative…
With the growth of public and private cloud options, many organizations have a consistent goal of hybrid cloud. But having virtual servers hosted on multiple internal and external services is not atrue hybrid cloud. Numerous developments, from convergence to software-defined infrastructure, are paving the way to fluid and elastic hybrid clouds in 2017.
DevOps is a marriage of development and operations, leveraging cross-functional teams to facilitate continuous delivery (Ebert et al. 2016, 94). It's no longer the exclusive domain of big players with agile cloud development efforts. Infrastructure and operations managers will be tasked with staffing the Ops side of this paradigm: coordinating the resources necessary to conduct software development in a cloud, and at a more granular level, architecting support of application containers according to business value and specific suitability.
Service desk technicians are expensive to employ, and IT budgets are flat. The solution? Push more of the service desk's responsibilities to end users. Whether it's self-service portals, automated incident response, or even reliance on power users, it's clear that self-service is here to stay. Infrastructure and operations leaders will have to contend with this new model of service, the service desk manager will have to assess the skills of both technicians and end users, and IT budgets will have to be reworked to fit this reality. But enablement and BYOD come at a very real cost. When end users are empowered to make their own choices, who is responsible for supporting them when they have problems?
For each trend we provide the following:
As an IT leader, you're pulled in several directions at once: fighting fires, keeping the lights on, managing people-there are only so many hours in a day!
Add the challenge of keeping abreast of new developments in the IT space, and it's easy to understand why you sometimes fall behind.
But falling behind can be disastrous. IT leaders that don't keep up with the pace of innovation are likely to see their roles diminish or disappear. Don't fall into the complacency trap.
Info Tech's Infrastructure Trend Report will help you:

Integration of Enterprise Modeling and Model Driven Development A Meta-Model and a Tool Prototype
Sammanfattning: The use of models for designing and developing Information Systems (IS) has changed in recent years. Models are no longer considered a peripheral documentation medium that is poorly maintained and often neglected. Rather, models are increasingly seen as essential parts of the final product—as central artifacts that drive and guide the development efforts. The knowledge that modelers rely on when designing models is represented as formal models and clearly defined rules for transforming the models. The flexibility, reliability, and effectiveness offered by the formal models and the transformations are making Model Driven Development (MDD) a popular choice for building IS. Models also serve in describing enterprise design, where enterprise-level models capture organizational knowledge and aid in understanding, improving, and growing the enterprise. Enterprise Modeling (EM) offers a structured and unified view of the enterprise, thereby enabling more informed and accurate decisions to be made.Many MDD approaches have been proposed to tackle a wide range of IS-related issues, but little attention is being paid to the source of the knowledge captured by the IS models. EM approaches capture organizational knowledge and provide the necessary input and underlying context for designing IS. However, the results produced by EM approaches need to be manually analyzed by modelers to create the initial MDD model. This interruption of the MDD process represents a gap between enterprise models and MDD models. Limited research has been done to connect EM to MDD in a systematic and structured manner based on the principles of model-driven development.This thesis proposes a unifying meta-model for integrating EM and MDD. The meta-model captures the inherent links that exist between organizational knowledge and IS design. This helps to improve the alignment between organizational goals and the IS that are created to support them. The research presented herein follows the guidelines of the design science research methodology. It starts with a state-of-the-art survey of the current relationship between MDD and prior stages of development. The findings of the survey are used to elicit a set of necessary properties for integrating EM and MDD. The unifying meta-model is then proposed as the basis for an integrated IS development approach that applies the principles of MDD and starts on the enterprise level by considering enterprise models in the development process. The design of the meta-model supports the elicited integration properties. The unifying meta-model is based on the Enterprise Knowledge Development (EKD) approach to EM. A prototype tool is developed to support the unifying meta-model, following a study to choose a suitable implementation environment. The use of the unifying meta-model is demonstrated through the implemented tool platform using an example case study, revealing its advantages and highlighting the potential for improvement and future development.

It cannot be underestimated how important it is to show your appreciation for your employees & members
– John Beardsley, Managing Director
Given the transient nature of the workplace in today's business environment, employers are constantly trying to find effective and affordable ways to retain and attract staff. From proving a challenging yet supportive workplace to implementing a rewards system to target the behaviours and milestones which positively affect the workplace, there are many ways to approach this and can prove to be an HR nightmare. The number one reason for an employee to leave a job is due to not feeling appreciated, a recognition program reduces this turnover rate by nearly 24%, not to mention increasing engagement by 60%. In fact, 85% of employers perceive employee engagement to be an important priority for their organisation.
You can compare the compare stats on what does and doesn't cause people to job hop as frequently as a certain tech company named after fruit releases new smartphones, but when it comes down to it, employees like to know they are doing well. Recognition of hard work and achievement promotes a positive work environment which in turn improves retention and the overall quality of work produced.
One thing which can been agreed upon, is that for rewards to be effective, they must be both visible to all members of the organisation (i.e. not just a pat on the back and a vocal congratulation), and should have value to the recipient. Ensuring that you have a range of different options to offer the diversity within your workplace is integral to its success. Finding a platform which allows you to tailor products and services to your people is what will make the difference between an ineffective drain on your wallet, and a platform which effectively and efficiently improves employee engagement.

WWF's Living Blue Planet Report tracks 5,829 populations of 1,234 mammal, bird, reptile and fish species through a marine living planet index. The evidence, analyzed by researchers at the Zoological Society of London, paints a troubling picture. In addition to the plummeting number of marine vertebrate species, populations of locally and commercially fished fish species have fallen by half, with some of the most important species experiencing even greater declines.
Time is running out as the world warms and as we continue to pollute and plunder the planet no matter the cost. Seen below is Eco Watch's chart showing the precipitous decline of all vertebrate species in the world's oceans.

Currently, CarboQuimica S.A.S. developed through two fronts its technology strategy for research and product development. One front is research aimed at developing new molecules stabilizers, plasticizers and lubricants to maintain and sustain the forefront that has gained in the region about manufacturing and selling of additives for PVC transformation. Other front is focused on the development of raw materials and inputs for different industries, focusing on those that are generated from renewable sources to generate new business for the company.
NEW MOLECULES PLASTICIZERS (biobased and phthalate-free)
Research and development focused on providing new alternatives to our clients with focused efforts on biobased and phthalates free plasticizers that represent alternatives against sensitive applications.
Respect to industrial applications, providing new strategic and conventional raw materials and the implementation of How Khow about plasticization have been our main tools for the development of friendly environment plasticizers, with very good performance against conventional ones.
New trends in stabilization of flexible and rigid PVC compounds has been one of our guidelines for the development of thermal stabilizers, for this reason one of our priorities and our short-term objectives is to develop liquid and solid stabilizers Calcium / Zinc, with excellent properties respect to better performance in terms of color retention, thermal stability, compatibility and transparency when compared to Barium/Cadmium and Barium/Cadmium/Zinc stabilizers today questioned from an environmental point of view.
Expanding our product portfolio generates cleaner and friendly environment stabilizers.
One-Package stabilizers-lubricants for extrusion and injection processes that provide our customers advantages in the process due to decrease in the amount of additives to be added in the formulation and therefore reduction in weighing errors, reduction of variability in the mixtures , Optimization of inventories.
Development of Ca/Zn lubricant package with high stability, lubrication and performance has meant a gateway to new markets, allowing participation in specific applications for each of our clients.
On the other hand, the development of new lubricants that enable significant improvements in performance, processing conditions, final product appearance and better productivity, it is a commitment to our customers.
The development and market penetration of tin catalysts under CARBOCAT trademark, MBTO, DBTL QBTO and DBTO has allowed us to move into a new area of the chemical industry. Through its industrial applications of polymers, coatings, polyester resins, alkyd resins and polyurethanes.
This new line is an opportunity for input and development of new markets (Local or international) because this is specialty chemical development of high added value in terms of quality and final product specifications.
Biotechnology area has focused on the development of raw materials and new products by implementing biotechnological processes, which have great potential for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food, using renewable resources and agro-industrial residues as raw materials, which help reduce the environmental impact.
We are developing new products such as biopolymers which are widely used in the production of films for food packaging, pharmaceutical coatings, they provide innovative alternatives versus conventional compounds generated by chemical process.
CarboQuimica S.A.S remains constant with the development, improvement and support of our business line, this allow us to grow on tin stabilizer line, tin lubricant package and conventional plasticizers.
The continued use of assessment techniques like cost/benefit relation and deep analysis of technology projects is one of our main tools for entering new markets and exploring opportunities in different branches of industry. Thus we now have biotechnology and specialty chemical research, both are focused on product and process development other than PVC processing , this two lines generate new business.

David Chapman introduces the beautiful mullein flower, and the moth larvae you may spot on it.
You are unlikely to see an adult mullein moth, but its striking caterpillar can be seen munching through verbascums and buddlejas in summer
Mullein, or verbascum, flower
I'm a really keen wildlife gardener and I must confess that my motivation is partly selfish.
It gives me great satisfaction to wander around our garden and smallholding looking for new flowers and animals.
One of my favourite flowers is that of the mullein, or verbascum. In fact, I love mullein leaves as much as I do its flowers, my wildflower book describes them as being covered in a "thick white woolly down" and after rain these leaves become a maze of beautiful water droplets.
Mullein isn't a small, shy retiring plant, it's big and bold, in a small garden just one plant might be enough but we are lucky enough to have space for more. Nevertheless I have found only two plants this year, mullein is quick to take advantage of disturbed ground so maybe I need to get the hoe out more often.
Of our two mulleins I noticed, last week, that one was coming into flower and looking in robust good health, the other was looking a bit ragged and torn. I looked a bit closer and found several caterpillars (technically larvae when talking about moths rather than butterflies) of a moth known aptly as the mullein moth, Shargacucullia verbasci.
As an adult moth it is rarely seen but is found on the wing during April and May. The bright yellow, black and white larvae are easier to spot and are seen busily feeding in July, not just on mullein but they will also eat the leaves of figwort (the family of flowers to which mullein belongs) and buddleia.
To encourage mulleins into your garden, read our guides to growing verbascum and buddleja.

The new alternative to be studied includes managed lanes, reversible lanes, active traffic management techniques, spot improvements, expansion of park & ride facilities, and dedicates some toll revenues to already planned transit projects.
But as Team Rockville member Mark Pierzchala points out, this won't be sufficient in his recent Washington Post op-ed. As he notes, "There is too much sprawl in the region for transit alone to solve the commuting crisis…The mess is decades in the making." As an alternative to the endless cycle of growth and sprawl encouraged by bigger and faster highways, he suggests a better use of land through transit-oriented development.
This year, Rockville finally embraced a transit-oriented development near the Twinbrook Metro called Twinbrook Quarter. But it was a rough fight, and the project nearly failed on the issue of school crowding, even though it will pay for more school capacity than students it will generate. I don't blame parents for being angry about schools bursting at the seams. They're paying high property tax rates, and their children deserve better. But their children are going to grow up, and they should be able to live and work in Rockville as young adults if they so choose.
Think this is too radical for Rockville? Actually, transit-oriented development has been around for at least twenty years and the DC region has several examples that serve as national models. Indeed, Rockville is actually falling behind in this kind of land use planning, even though it's an ideal solution to the region's housing and transportation problems.
Thankfully, as our Councilmember, Mark is thinking ahead and as a part of Team Rockville, he brings with him a group of thoughtful, experienced, and diverse residents to address community issues today to create an even better future for our children and grandchildren. Mark served two terms as Councilmember from 2009 to 2013 then returned in 2015. On the Council, he has reduced spending while growing Rockville's tax base. His experiences on the Council, as a small-business owner, as president of the College Gardens Civic Association, and his stint as chair of the Town Center Action Team, as well as his biking and walking tours of all City streets give him a unique perspective on the needs of residents and businesses.

SHOWING THE WAY: Mallesh D Harivan gives his students a lesson in plant life during a class in Gadag recently
Photo Source: Times Of India
By- firstname.lastname@example.com
When Mallesh D Harivan, a teacher, joined the Government Lower Primary School in Adavisomapur, a remote tribal hamlet in Gadag, in 2003, there were only 68 students on the rolls. The school — a Class 1 to Class 5 institution — consisted of just two classrooms and Harivan was determined to increase the number of students on roll as well as to improve the facilities in the school.
Harivan had spent five years teaching in Savanur before moving to Adavisomapur and that experience came in handy. Now, the school has 103 students on its rolls and Harivan had added three more classrooms. The government has recognized his efforts and will confer the best teacher award on him at a ceremony in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
"In this tanda (hamlet), parents of students migrate to other places in search of jobs," Harivan, 49, told TOI. "Their children would accompany them. With the help of other teachers, I began visiting each house in the tanda to persuade parents to send their wards to school. The response was slow, but steady."
With the numbers increasing, Harivan decided to expand. He collected Rs 3.5 lakh in donations from friends and acquaintances and built three classrooms. To promote extra-curricular activity, he started a 'no-bag day' on every Saturday. Every two weeks, students are taken to the library to encourage them to read.
"Now that I'm in-charge of this school, I will also teach Kannada in very unique way," Harivan said.
Shankar Hugar, senior lecturer, District Institute of Education and Training, Gadag, said, "Thanks to Harivan's hard work, many dropouts have re-joined school. Together with government funds, he also collected donations people around to help poor students get notebooks and shoes. He has brought innovative teaching methods to this small school."
For the past 13 years, CS Sathish, a teacher at Government Lower Primary School, Mullur, Kodagu, sets aside a portion of his salary every month for what he calls "classroom activities". He believes his students will learn what they are taught far more quickly through this initiative. He has created a number of science modules on solar energy for example. Recipient of the district-level best teacher award last year, Satish's teaching career began in Bagalkot. "I teach all subjects," he said. "Every month, I save some money for classroom activities. I believe in using creative modules to help students learn whatever I teach quickly."
The state government will present 20 primary school, 10 high school and a special high school teacher with Best Teacher awards for the year 2018-19 during Teachers' Day celebrations at the Banquet Hall, Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Chief minister HD Kumaraswamy will present the awards.
Merry Christmas!
Wishes for a Holly Jolly Christmas from ISpark Innovations!
Criticizing ragging in all its forms, Union Human Resource Development Minister, Prakash Javadekar said that it is important to eliminate ragging from campuses. To support the same cause, an anti-ragging app has been launched by University Grants Commission (UGC) which will help students and make it easier for them to register their complaints against ragging. Talking about the same Prakash Javadekar said "physical and mental torture of a new student won't be tolerated by the government and the new app will work as a handy tool for any student who goes through such experience".
He also promised that immediate action will be taken by the government on any complaint received through the app. "It is a good step for protection and will give a feeling of security to students," he said. He also cautioned the students who indulge themselves in ragging and said that if found they will not be allowed to continue their education any further in the institution.
"At the same time they will meet severe penalty and punishment as per the law," he said.At the same time he hoped that seniors will help their juniors and act as responsible mentors for them and guide them in the right direction.

In a bid to improve the quality of education, the Karnataka government is considering a proposal to make compulsory for state government employees to send their children to government schools rather than private schools.
Primary and Secondary Education minister N Mahesh was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, "We are considering bringing in a policy on the basis of a report to encourage enrolment in government schools."
"By making government employees enroll their wards in government schools, we hope to make them stakeholders in the betterment of these schools," Mahesh added.
In order to implement the proposal the Karnataka government is seeking a legal opinion.
"We have asked for legal opinion to ensure that we do not go against some judgments of the Supreme Court, where it held that state governments cannot dictate the choice of the school of the children. We are looking at ways to overcome this," Mahesh said.
The move is based on the Kannada Development Authority (KDA) report published in September 2017 that suggested "those who draw a salary from the government have to mandatorily send their children to government schools and not private ones. And there should be a provision to punish those who flout this rule."
In the month of June, it was proposed in Karnataka to pilot English-medium classes in 1,000 government schools.
According to a survey during 2011-15, the total enrolment in government schools fell by 11.2 million, whereas in private, it rose by 16 million.

The demand for private schools may have resulted in a sharp decline in the student strength of government schools across the State, but a government school in Vijayapura district has reversed the trend, thanks to its alumni.
Set up on the day the country got its independence, the Government Higher Primary School in Hanumasagar village of Vijayapura district, which had just 60 students a few months ago, has now added 112 more to its fold. The new students left their private schools to enrol here.
This "trend reversal" is the result of an initiative by five former students who were pained over the dwindling student strength in their alma mater. "After passing out of school, five of us were serving as teachers in various government schools. When we came to know that our government school was gradually losing students to private schools, we decided to do whatever possible to break the trend," said G.S. Jamkhandi.
Explaining the methods they adopted, he said that last summer vacation, the five of them, with the permission of the Block Education Officer, held special coaching classes in the school. "We deputed three teachers to teach mathematics, science and English. Our efforts yielded results, as the parents agreed to shift their children who were studying in private schools in three nearby villages," he said.
Abdul Nadaf, father of Afreen Nadaf studying in standard six, said that after the teachers held meetings and training sessions, he was confident that his daughter would get better education in the government school. "I paid ₹10,000 as fee in the private school. Now, in the government school, besides quality education, I have been able to save money and there are various facilities such as mid-day meals, bicycles and free uniform," he said. Afreen is elated too: "I was not happy in the private school. So was five of my cousins. After undergoing coaching, we decided to join this government school."
Mathematics teacher Laksmi Hosamani said district in charge Minister M.B. Patil had assured of deputing three full-time teachers and arranging for bus service for students. He has also promised a grant of ₹10 lakh for renovation of the school and e-teaching facility.

17th February 2013
The fourth session of the Indoor Training sessions is now Sunday 10th March from 12 until 4pm
NOT 17th March 1-5
Dont Be Late
Winter Training Sessions
We are once again running the successful winter training sessions at the Joseph Whittaker School Sports Hall, Rainworth. These sessions are open to all levels of archers in Nottinghamshire and give an excellent opportunity to benefit from coaching in a roomy, warm, well lit hall and to gain broader knowledge that will help you in your archery.
Each archer will be working in a small group with a coach. During each session there will be a short presentation and discussion on a topic relevant to ongoing progression in archery. To gain the maximum benefit from these sessions please come prepared to ask about any aspects of your archery – shooting technique, equipment, mental or physical – which you feel could be of particular interest and value to you. Your coaches have a 'tool-kit' of training, knowledge and experience in all of these areas (and more) – which 'tools' they use will be dependent upon your own individual needs and requirements. In addition there will be further experience available from others in the room. We want to work in conjunction with the coaches in your club, so you will need to come prepared with the details of what you are currently working on with your coach.
There have been some changes to the sessions as a result of feedback received from last year's attendees. Each session will now last for 3 hours. The general format of the sessions will be:
- Arrival and equipment set-up
- Welcome + (First session – introduction to Coaches and work groups, subsequent sessions- review of previous session)
- Warm-ups
- Shoot and score 1 dozen arrows (ends of three) – (first and last sessions only)
- Break into work groups
- Shooting with Coach support (check bow set up during first session)
- Presentation and question session.
