In professional tournaments/championships and across sports, can different games be started at the same time?
When or why would the organisers do that?
Can they? Yes, unless a particular regulation says otherwise. Will they? It depends on the tournament's needs.
A tournament may start matches at identical times for competitive purposes (teams cannot easily plan to attain a specific result based on corresponding game results elsewhere in the competition) or for scheduling (if a large number of matches must be completed in a short time, having a common timetable across several venues is helpful).
A tournament may start matches at staggered times for management purposes (grounds staff or officials may be necessary to begin, but not required after that; however there are too many matches to only play them consecutively).
A tournament may also start matches consecutively, where one finished before the next. This is primarily due to broadcast requirements (the audience does not have to pick and watch only one or flicker between two games) but in some sports may also be due to venue availability (for example, if there are few games each day they can be spaced reasonably on a single field).
The same tournament may apply any or all of these, as well, depending on the stage they are at. For example, the FIFA World Cup plays the group matches at staggered or consecutive times, although the final group matches are played at identical times, while the knockout matches are played strictly consecutively (even on different days entirely).

French internet bans & Spanish taxes on media
France is tightening up punishments (warning followed by disconnection from the internet if they persist) for those found to be downloading illegally. They optimistically (?) think this will reduce such practices 70-80%.
Spain meanwhile adds to the list of things we pay performing rights charges on to include mobile phones and MP3 players as well as all blank media & recording devices.
Blank paper to be next? I use mine to copy bits of books onto. Then there's pens, pencils etc.
Anyone know how they distribute this to the wronged authors, songwriters, performers and other copyright owners - or is it another hidden tax?

Yes the French fiercely defent their music industry by insisting that the radio stations pay a substantial percentage of French Language recordings, the internet is a way for the young to circumvent their legislatian and play the foreign, ie English Language stuff they crave.
Paying rights charges on blank media is an interesting case - be interesting to see someone taken to court for copying and use the "Ive paid for the rights" defense...

Disgusting. And they have the gall to claim it´s the public who are on the rob. We´re all being treated as criminals in advance.
Go ahead and copy, I say! Fill yer boots. You´ve paid for the priviledge it seems.

Most people in Spain take this approach now - we are being taxed as if we were criminals, so we might as well download, copy etc...

It's not possible to download illegally. Copyright infringement is a civil matter - its unfortunate that the movie and music industries have convinced the world's governments to enforce civil laws for them.
Yes, the fee you pay on blank media goes to the record companies. It's the artists that don't see a penny of it.

I couldn't convince my 81 year old father of the merits of an iPod for music listening. He wanted me to buy songs on iTunes and burn CDs. For father's day I got him an iPod Shuffle and loaded it with his musical preferences. My mom says he can't stop playing with it. Now he wants me to tell him more about the iPhone. The tree doesn't fall to far from the Apple

Imagine a new film comes out on DVD in the States. One day later (or even three weeks earlier), you can download a perfect copy of that film here in Spain via the torrent sites. It's a pain to then get that film onto your big TV (so I hear), but once you do, there you go: you are enjoying the film or TV show right now that won't appear here for another 3 months due to stupid licensing agreements.
If they made it as easier for people here to get new films and TV shows legally and immediately, they would be more likely to pay rather than going through the hassle of fiddling around with the illegal methods.
iTunes did this with music downloads. I get all my new music from there now as it is just so much easier, quicker, and more reliable (no dodgy copies etc).
Hollywood: Please bring instant, reasonably priced, film and TV downloads to the worldwide stage - the mechanisms are in place, people are already using them - just make it possible for everyone to do it legally!
[Edit: this may not work with teenagers, who will still download stuff illegally just because - same way we used to make tapes of records for our mates!]

Published May 17, 2018
Pope Paul VI had written a letter for his resignation in case he was seriously impeded by illness or other circumstances, according to a book containing unpublished works by the pope.
This top-secret letter dated 2 May 1965 — just two years after his election and 13 years before his death — was published May 15 in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.
It is part of the Italian book "The Barque of Paul" by Father Leonardo Sapienza, Regent of the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household.
The book, which will soon be in bookstores, is a treasure trove of documents, letters and messages of Pope Paul VI, unknown to the public until today.
Paul VI had sought to "renounce" his office "as bishop of Rome as well as head of the same holy Catholic Church... in case of infirmity, which is believed to be incurable or is of long duration and which impedes us from sufficiently exercising the functions of our apostolic ministry; or in the case of another serious and prolonged impediment, the letter said.
The text of the main letter is marked "confidential" and addressed to the Dean of the College of Cardinals on letterhead with the papal coat of arms and an instruction that he may disclose it to other cardinals in declaring the pontiff incapacitated and to "accept and render effective" the resignation.
Paul VI said he was writing "aware of our responsibility before God and with a heart full of reverence and of charity, which unite us to the holy Catholic Church, and not unmindful of our evangelical mission to the world."
Paul also informed the then Secretary of State Cardinal Amleto Cicognani about the letter and gave him permission to read it.
The book includes Pope Francis' comments on Paul VI. "We must thank God, who alone guides and saves the church, for having allowed Paul VI to continue until the last day of his life to be father, pastor, master, brother and friend," he said.
Commenting on the letter, Pope Francis said, it "seems to me a humble and prophetic witness of love for Christ and his church and a further proof of holiness of this great pope."
He added that what was important to Paul VI "were the needs of the church and the world. And a pope impeded by serious illness could not exercise the apostolic ministry with sufficient effectiveness."
It is well known that several popes of the last century had thought of resignation — such as Pius XII, whom Hitler had been planning to kidnap.
Church law states that a pope can resign, but stipulates that the resignation must be "made freely and properly manifested"
It had long been rumored that Pope John Paul II, who had survived an assassination attempt after being shot and wounded, and later afflicted by Parkinson's disease, had also written such a resignation letter.
In 2010, Msgr. Slawomir Oder, coordinator of the pope's sainthood cause, released a book publishing for the first time letters Pope John Paul wrote offering the College of Cardinals his resignation in case of an incurable disease or other conditions that would prevent him from fulfilling his ministry.
"But even a month before St. John Paul's death in April 2005, canon law experts in Rome and elsewhere were saying the problem with such a letter is that someone else would have to decide when to pull it out of the drawer and apply it," the Catholic News Service reported.
However, his successor Benedict XVI became the first to resign since Gregory XII's resignation in 1415.
Announcing his resignation to the gathering of cardinals in 2013, Benedict said: "Well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of bishop of Rome, successor of St. Peter, entrusted to me by the cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the see of Rome, the see of St. Peter, will be vacant and a conclave to elect the new supreme pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is."
The book also has in it the transcription of a conversation between Pope Paul VI who ratified the Second Vatican Council and proclaimed the liturgical reform, and the rebel French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who formerly headed Dakar archdiocese in Senegal and established the Society of St. Pius X in 1968 to counter changes instituted by the Second Vatican Council.
Lefebvre opposed the council's acceptance of religious liberty, its openness to ecumenism and its approval of liturgical reforms such as celebration of Mass in local languages. Priests of his society celebrate Mass only in Latin, as before the council.
The conversation between Paul VI and Lefebvre took place Sept. 1, 1976 in Castel Gandolfo in the presence of the pope's private secretary Don Pasquale Macchi and lasted for a little over half an hour. The transcripts show how Paul VI repeatedly tried to enter into a dialogue with Lefebvre.
The book comes at a time when Pope VI is to be canonized.
Pope Francis in March approved the decree of miracle for Blessed Paul VI. May 19 is the day set for the final approval for the canonization of Blessed Paul VI.
He was pope from 1963 to 1978, during a period including most of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65). He was beatified by Pope Francis in 2014.

Addicted to Stealing: Understanding Kleptomania, Shoplifting Addiction.
There are thousands of people who get caught shoplifting in the country every year. Each arrested person steals for various reasons, such as personal profit, kleptomania, addiction to shoplifting, or to support their vices. Most of us believe that people steal for personal profit or to support their drug addiction; however, there are some cases wherein the arrested individual is simply addicted to shoplifting. A shoplifting addiction is a common condition, but the reason behind the urge is different from what you might expect. The individuals who confess to having this kind addiction say that the rush of stealing a product without getting caught gives them a sense of euphoria that surpasses the prize of getting the stolen item. Some people might associate shopping addiction to Kleptomania, but are these conditions the same? Read More »

Causes of Teenage Depression, Psychological or Mental Distress.
You have a nice house; a mansion actually. You also possess several nice cars, season tickets to the local ball clubs, an indoor pool, and you can go on family vacations to exotic locations. Also, your daughter has a room of her own; almost like a hotel suite, actually. You give her everything she wants - so, how can she possibly feel depressed? That's a good question and a bad question as well. It's a good question because the first hurdle to helping your daughter with her depression will be to educate you on what depression is. It's also a bad question because it insinuates that you believe you can purchase your way out of depression. "How can she be depressed? We just bought her a new car." Read More »

About us
ANIMALS UNITED e.V., Bavaria, was founded in Munich in 1984 as a Bavarian regional association of opponents of animal experiments. Our organisation is a member of People for Animal Rights, the National Association of opponents of animal experiments. Our campaign is non-violent and we only use legal methods to combat the wrongs done to our fellow creatures.
• Recognition and implementation of basic animal rights; adoption of animal protection into the European Union constitution.
• The prohibition of all animal experiments; promotion and use of testing methods which do not involve animals.
• A shift away from keeping so-called "production animals" in intensive, abusive conditions.
• Abolition of animal transport.
• Promotion of a vegetarian or vegan diet.
• An end to all kinds of exploitation, abuse and cruelty to animals.
• Influencing the public and governmental bodies by: publications; regular information booths; public meetings; information in the press, radio, internet and other media.
• Winning over celebrities to support our work.
• Speaking to the authorities and law-making bodies as well as handing in petitions; working together with organisations and individuals who share our aims.
• Creative competition: we are looking for the best poster to promote animal protection!
• "Animal protection is fun!" Lessons on animal protection for children and young people.
• REACH: The EU chemicals regulation REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and provides for the testing of thousands of chemicals for their safety for humans and the environment. Since the emergence of these plans, people such as the doctors against animal experiments have fought for a REACH which does not involve animal experiments. However, despite all the efforts from the animal protection side, the data is mainly obtained through animal experiments.
• "Vegetarians are…": Campaign page, including a map with veggie restaurants and competitions.
• Animal protection overseas
• Anti cow races, anti rodeo, anti bullfighting.
• "I love my hunter": providing information to the public about hunting. We would like to raise a voice – at least a digital one – to counter that of the hunting lobby, e.g. the BJV poster campaign.
On request we can offer other net participants advice, give a presentation, and provide up-to-date information and contacts in the field of our work.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:17-18 [KJV]
Alt. trans.:
- [NRSV] "How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action."
- [NIV] "If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
- [GNT] "If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action."
- [TJB] "If a man who was rich enough in this world's goods saw that one of his brothers was in need, but closed his heart to him, how could the love of God be living in him? My children, our love is not to be just words or mere talk, but something real and active."

A man's first duty is to make a competence and be independent. But his whole duty does not end there. It his his duty to do something for his needy neighbors who are less favored than himself. It is his duty to contribute to the general good of the community in which he lives. He has been protected by its laws. Because he has been protected in his various enterprises he has been able to make money sufficient for his needs and those of his family. All beyond this belongs in justice to the protecting power that has fostered him and enabled him to win pecuniary success. To try and make the world in some way better than you have found is to have a noble motive in life.

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:14-18 (KJV)
Alt. trans.:
- "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith." (NRSV)
- "My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!"—if you don't give them the necessities of life? So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions." " (GNT)

sitting with writer's block trying to figure out why it is that i get so preoccupied with my fears and anxieties. just when i figured i had cleared an emotional hurdle and was ok with it then i end up right back in the same place having to answer the same emotional questions about why i feel what i feel or don't feel what i should feel. i sit here on my lunch break and try to sort what is either anxiety that i carry around in my chest or is it indigestion from the turkey sandwich i just scarfed down.
the chapter from McLaren's "A New Kind of Christianity" that we discussed last night had to do with "what do we do now that we've asked all these questions of ourselves and our journey?" and for me the chapter boiled down to "Include and Transcend". i have had a long journey over the last couple years that has tried to be inclusive and tried to rise above a simple reading of my life and faith. i've struggled to know what it means to include but i've tried to be merciful and i've tried to preach the beauties of mercy and justice around me. transcending has been harder for me. i don't move easily. i don't change easily. i also don't wait nicely. it is insanely hard for me to sit and trust and wait for an answer. sitting in the dark, in silence has not been a pretty experience for me.
God, do you hear me? am i alone here? will my fears swallow me up? will this garden burst forth or will i sit in the wilderness longer? will i continue to sit here in the dark? is there a crack of light anywhere?
this is Holy Week but for me the last season has been one long night before Easter morning. at least i'm hoping that Easter morning is close by. i can't be sure. i long for resurrection. i'm crying out for new birth ... i just wonder if i still want it on my own terms or not. but God doesn't work that way, does he? i couldn't dream up the good things that he promises are there.
someone send some hope my way. bring a light and sit with me awhile ... til the morning comes. you don't need to say much, or anything actually. just sit and let's share the light.
sometimes i just need to write stuff down and get it out of my soul. some things just feel like poison inside me and i need to burst my soul open so that i can bleed out the pain.
pray for me. it's dark outside and i have a long way to go yet.
Lord have mercy.

Principles for Balanced Transparency of Regulatory Data in the European Union
Recent reviews of access to documents policies by EU regulatory agencies have confirmed a trend to greater openness to access requests, coupled with more extensive proactive data dissemination. This trend is based on considerations that enhanced transparency increases public confidence in the institutions.
The initiatives were prompted by requests from interested parties to gain access to detailed data on medicines, GMOs, chemicals and plant protection products and pressure to broaden public access rights to the data underpinning regulatory submissions or decision-making.
Innovative companies are required to submit very detailed data packages to EU authorities under various regulatory procedures. These packages routinely contain commercially confidential information (CCI; sometimes also referred to as confidential business information CBI), which is an important intangible component of a company's valuable business assets. The possibility that CCI submitted to regulatory agencies may be disclosed to the public and thus available to unfair use can be a disincentive for innovation and investment in research and development - and can also detract from a more structured sharing of data between interested parties. This may result in lower competitiveness of the industry and can even jeopardize the survival of companies by providing competitors with an unfair competitive advantage.
An adequate level of protection of CCI requires a fair balance between competing interests. However, recent developments have shown that this balance is not sufficiently implemented in EU law and that protection of CCI is increasingly conceded in face of increasing demands for "total transparency", at the expense of the competitiveness of EU companies and without proper evaluation of the merits of each case.
Industry actively supports balanced transparency and calls for a fair and predictable approach towards access to regulatory data, implementing the Access to Documents Regulation (1049/2001) and the Aarhus Regulation (1367/2006) in a manner that stimulates innovation and industry's competitiveness.
According to the associations supporting this approach, including EuropaBio, any initiative or practice to increase transparency of regulatory data held by EU institutions, agencies and bodies should observe certain key principles: predictability, fairness, proportionality and coherence. Access the PDF below for an explanation of these principles.

New Jersey Town's Innovative 911 System Provides a Sneak Preview of the Future of Emergency Response
Lakewood, N.J., distinguished itself from the rest of the United States last month by introducing some unique 911 emergency system technologies. Both the concept and software are inventive enough that other cities nationwide might consider using something similar.
According to GCN, the township's new system comes courtesy of Avaya. Dubbed iLoc8, it utilizes WebRTC and HTML5 to link users with dispatchers via a web browser. GCN adds that this enhances location accuracy and awareness — two of the major limits of current 911 systems.
"From a 911 perspective, cellular location is horrifically inaccurate, and every week there are incidents in the news that talk about location challenges with 911 cellular devices," Avaya chief architect Mark Fletcher explained to GCN. Furthermore, providing responders with the specifics before they reach the scene makes them more effective:
When a citizen calls or texts 911 from a mobile device, Lakewood dispatchers receive information that the call is originating from a cellular network. iLoc8 then allows the dispatcher to send an SMS message to the device with a web link. With the click of a button, the browser-to-browser data connection is established between the mobile device and the 911 center, which allows the mobile user and the dispatcher to share multimedia information in real time.
Changing the Way Callers and Dispatchers Interact
Further enhancing iLoc8's potential success is its multimedia dynamic: It allows users and dispatchers to swap photos and videos in order to better communicate with each other.
"Pictures and video can tell the story like nothing else, and putting that information in the hands of the first responders provides that situational awareness all the way around," Fletcher told GCN. "We're taking common technology that's utilized today in commercial applications, and we're applying that to the public safety use case. We're making tremendous advances by doing that."
App.com adds that this came at no expense to Lakewood, as Avaya is giving iLoc8 to them for free in order to show off its advantages. According to GCN, Lakewood should officially roll out the iLoc8 software and pilot program by the summer's end.
Fletcher believes that Lakewood's system has the potential to set a new precedent. "This will be, from what I have seen, the very first deployment of next-generation 911 services," he told GCN. It's a lofty goal, but does iLoc8 have a chance to become the new standard for emergency response?
Having the functionality to send and receive images directly to dispatchers is a major advantage. Callers will be able to provide dispatchers with specifics. In turn, dispatchers will be able to send specifics — such as directions and instructions — back to the callers. This could cut response time, and save lives in the process.
However, the platform's potential spread depends on its success in Lakewood. That unofficial demo will be used to gauge national interest, so the future of emergency response could rest on the strength of this performance.

Imperfect Desires Book 2 Chapter 252
Yes, the person Darren found in the video was none other than his own idiot; Xiu. He was really having a difficult time trying to wrap his mind around this situation especially when he was told that his girlfriend's two videos had been trending on social media for the past hour. One that he just saw and the other in which she was singing 'Sunday Morning' herself like the main vocalist of the band.
"You're also starstruck, right?" asked Paige cheekily while she added, "She is gorgeous and charming."
Darren's face twitched as he glanced at his secretary and asked, "You're going to the bar to hit on her?" Actually, he knew that Paige was bis.e.x.u.a.l, he never cared about it especially since he was raised in a different environment. But if this time, her answer was yes... Then he really cared!
Paige gave him a proud smile, "Yup." Turning from alluring to chloric, it Darren only one second while she happily oblivious to his turmoil went on, "Do you think I'll be able to bend her? Well, I won't mind a one-night stand either."
"OKAY! That's it!" exclaimed Darren harshly and took a long deep breath. "You! Throw all those crazy ideas in your head about my girlfriend out!"
"Girlfriend?" Paige was surprised. "She's your girlfriend?"
Darren pulled out his phone and pressed the button to show her his lock screen photo which was of Xiu's sleeping face while hugging him. Paige raised her brows and laughed out, "Boss, you and I have such similar taste in girls."
"Shut up, Paige!" said Darren as he watched her being amused at the expense of his feelings.
Paige raised her hands as she said, "Okay, I give up. No matter how much attracted I am to her. I'll give her up for your sake." As she patted on his shoulder, Darren was left gaping in disbelief.
He glared at her and said, "You're not giving her to me. Because she's already mine. Don't you dare..."
Paige laughed at his reaction and said, "Boss, I have never seen you this possessive about someone before. Relax, I won't do anything. She's all yours." She took a step away from him and opened the door of her own car. As she started the engine, she wounded the windowpane down and said, "Hey, boss! Go and get your girlfriend already. I'm a girl and she managed to charm me, do you think men won't be attracted to her?"
As she reminded him, Darren was left thinking on his own in the parking lot. He pulled out his phone and dialed Xiu's number but no one picked up. It's been a while and she hadn't even replied to him as well. Darren tried calling Dylan but his phone was switched off. "F.u.c.k you, Didi! Where the hell are you when I need you?" Darren cursed and screamed at his phone before getting in his car and asking the driver to take him to Dylan's company.
On his way, he kept trying to call Xiu and Dylan but to no avail. Then he thought of calling Dylan's office and got the reply, "Mr. Qiu and Ms. Bai left in the afternoon for a meeting. They are still not back."
Darren's brain was running all kinds of scenarios since he was very familiar with the infamous 'Wine Xiu'. Now, he was even more worried to know that Dylan and Xiu were together. If that was true then he could only imagine. Because he knew nothing went right when those two were left alone sober let alone drunk. Well, not like their track history was any good.
Darren texted Paige to send him the bar's address and went there. As he walked inside the bar, he looked around desperately for her but couldn't find her or Dylan. He tried calling Zhao Wei but she told him that Dylan wasn't home. Then he called Dylan's sister and learned that Dylan was supposed to attend a charity auction in the evening.
Darren went to the charity auction venue but he wasn't allowed to enter, not like he wanted to. He just asked the ushers to tell him, "Did Dylan Qiu come tonight?"
As the attendants checked the guest list, they answered, "Yes, sir. Mr. Qiu came alone."
Darren wanted to meet Dylan but he was so worried about his drunk idiot that he decided to not go inside. However, what he didn't get to know at that point was that Dylan sent one of his employees to the auction on his behalf and since the invitation card had his name on it, the attendants thought that Dylan had come himself.
Because of this small misunderstanding, Darren was left with a mental breakdown. Because if Xiu was alone then he really didn't know what was left impossible. Because anything was possible for Wine Xiu. He ruffled his hair in frustration and called Nora, "Is Xiu with you?" he asked.
Nora frowned at his question and answered, "No. I haven't met her since Saturday. Why are you asking?" Darren told her that Xiu is drunk and alone. That was enough for Nora to get the gist of the situation as she suggested, "Try calling back at the apartment building. Maybe, she went home."
Darren rubbed his hand over his face as he replied, "I did already. She is not home yet." He was so worried because of those stupid scenarios running in his mind that Darren was getting a headache now. "Can you tell me the places, she frequently goes to? Or friends that she have? Or anything?"
Nora thought about it for a while before replying, "She is a social vegan. She avoids 'meet'."
"Can you drop the jokes for a minute?" replied Darren because of her attempt to make him laugh but failed.
"Actually, I really mean that. Yes, I wanted to make you laugh as well but more importantly, it's true that Xiu is anti-social. She hates meeting people like they are a plague. But..." Nora stopped herself from continuing for some reason.
"But what?" asked Darren.
"Don't call her weird even though she is weird but she often ends up at the cemetery without realizing it herself. She even sleepwalked to the cemetery once," told Nora honestly while Darren frowned at her words.
Xiu had told him that she spent hours in the graveyard but he didn't think she'd have sleepwalked there as well. But it wasn't the time to think much. He replied, "Thanks for your help. I'll talk to you later." As he hung up, he went to the cemetery that Nora told him about.
However, he was disappointed again because he didn't find Xiu even there. He wanted to track Xiu's phone but it was turned off now. He really was running out of options. As he was descending from the small hill, his vision blurred for a moment. He shook his head trying to gain back his vision. As he came close to the car, he felt lightheaded and almost missed a step and fell. But fortunately, his driver was right beside him to help him up.
"Sir, are you okay?" asked the driver and Darren nodded.
But when he settled in the car, a wave of sharp pain ran through his head making him wince involuntarily. The driver heard him hissing in pain while he rubbed his forehead and passed a chocolate bar to him saying, "Sir, your sugar level is dropping. That's not good for your health."
Darren took the chocolate without any questions and took a bite of it saying, "I'm okay, Ben."
His driver, Ben didn't buy it as he replied, "Sir, I'll drop you off home. You have been running around for almost 3 hours now." Before Darren could argue, he added, "I'll look for Ms. Bai. Don't worry. I'll give you the report as soon as possible."
Darren was sweating profusely while his body shaking at this point. He could tell himself that his blood sugar level was dropping. He honestly didn't have it in him to argue anymore as he leaned his head back to the headrest and closed his eyes.

Did you know…? Omega 3 fatty acids have a wide range of scientifically proven health benefits. Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are two types of omega 3 fatty acids that play an important role in the healthy functioning of our brain, eyes and heart.*
Healthspan's High Strength Omega 3 1,000mg fish oil contains high levels of DHA and EPA. These long-chain fatty acids, which are found mainly in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and fresh tuna, are the types of omega 3 that research shows are most beneficial to human health.
Our omega 3 capsules contain 1,000mg fish oil, a third of which is pure omega 3 fatty acids – a higher level than in many fish oil supplements.
The oil is also highly purified, which means that all the nasties such as pollutants, saturated fat and cholesterol have been filtered out, leaving only the good stuff – and it doesn't taste or smell fishy, either.
Just as importantly, our omega 3 oil is from fish sustainably sourced from the South Pacific Ocean and has been granted 'Friend of the Sea' certification, which means that it's derived using methods that don't threaten the marine food chain, over-exploit fish stocks or harm the seabed or coral reefs.
It is ideal for those looking for great value fish oil with high levels of DHA and EPA (120mg DHA and 170mg EPA per capsule).
*Taking 250mg of DHA a day contributes to brain and eye health, whilst a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA supports cardio health.
Made in Europe.
Alternatives – for higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids, try our Super Strength Omega 3 1,200mg which contains 240mg DHA and 360mg EPA per capsule.
Complementary product – Probiotics are a great companion to our Omega 3 1,000mg capsules. If you are interested in live bacteria supplements, take a look at our Super10 Pro which contains a blend of ten billion live cultures to support the protective intestinal microflora of your digestive system.

5 Perks of being an Indonesian Student in the Netherlands
The Netherlands has been having a unique relationship with Indonesia since long time ago. Now you might wonder what is it that makes being an Indonesian student in the Netherlands awesome? In this post, I will unfold each of the reasons why. So, stay-tuned!
For those of you who are about to graduate (or even have just graduated) from SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas - Indonesian higher education level), or even just finished your bachelor or post-graduate degree, you gotta make a big decision in your life right now; to which university are you going to apply to? Are you going to stay in Indonesia? Do you wish to work first or do you want to continue a further study? Will you take a gap year first? Or are you ready to spread your wings and embark on a journey to another country? If you are eyeing on the studying abroad path, you might want to include the Netherlands as one of your options. Here's why...
1. Safety and Language Barrier
The 2016 Global Peace Index includes the Netherlands as one of the top 25 safest countries in the world. Even some of the prisons are closed in these past years due to the very low number of criminal activity. I'm not saying that this country is as peaceful as some fairy tale land above the clouds with pots of gold hidden by leprechauns, but the worst thing that might happen to you is to have your bicycle being stolen (which of course, can be prevented by using extra safe locks). I, being a reckless teenager, accidentally left my wallet in a restaurant once. 3 hours and several panic attack later, a kind woman called me to return my wallet. She literally searched for my student card inside the wallet and called my school to get my phone number to return my lost wallet. What an effort, right? Well, it is not always the case, but that generally says something about the safe environment in this country.
Regarding the language, fear not if you speak zero Dutch. The Dutch people can all speak fluent English, even at a food kiosk in a small city. That honestly helped me a lot to adapt the first time I arrived in this country. To find out more about the Dutch people and what are they like, you can check out my previous post.
2. PPI BELANDA (Association of Indonesian Student in the Netherlands)
While aiming to be as culturally diverse as possible, sometimes you might need a tad of help when you're homesick, or simply when adjusting to the new foreign land. PPI Belanda is a well-established Indonesian student association in Holland that provides many activities and ready to help you in the Netherlands. This organization has branches in almost all cities in the Netherlands, which is called PPI KOTA (PPI Amsterdam, PPI Den Haag, PPI Arnhem and so forth). I joined PPI Belanda for 2 years before, and it was one of the ways that helped me feel comfortable being in the Netherlands and dare to say that this country is my home away from home.
Sausan Atika Maesara, the public relation officer of PPI BELANDA '17 said, "don't worry that you might get lost or unfamiliar upon your arrival in the Netherlands because PPI BELANDA and PPI KOTA always arrange the pick-up and welcoming event for the new students in Holland. This is one of the perks that you can benefit from being a student here since the Netherlands is one of the countries with most Indonesian students."
Curious about this organization? Check out PPI BELANDA's activities and achievements so far!
3. Dutch Hospitality
What I mean by hospitality is not simply because of Dutch people, in general, are cordial. What I mean is how easy you can find pieces of Indonesia in this country. You can find kroepoek in the supermarket aisle, sambal in many Asian restaurants, saté ayam in campus' cafeteria on a certain day, and once you said you come from Indonesia they will respond pretty much like, "oh! Really? I've visited Borobudur and surfed in Bali before. You are so lucky!" And there you go, a good way to start a conversation.
4. Indo's Spices and Special Cooking Ingredients
Being a college student means carefully managing your own money. One of the ways of doing that is to cook by yourself and avoid eating outside every day. I'm not saying that you should eat less, or stay at home all the time. Wrong. I am a big fan of finding delicious meal outside myself. What I'm trying to say is, cooking your own meal at home often can save a lot of money. Not to mention, when you're homesick, isn't eating comfort food is one of the solutions to cheer you up?
Indonesian food is well-known for its rich flavor and various spices. After all, that was the reason why the Dutch came to our country hundreds of years ago, wasn't it? Well, you will be surprised at how easy it is to find Indonesian spices such as Kemiri, Ketoembar, Sereh, etc in Asian supermarkets. Below is the picture of my very own homemade Ayam Balado, all from scratch.
5. Indonesian Food Everywhere
Now for those of you who aren't a big fan of cooking by yourself, worry not. There is literally so many Indo foods everywhere (restaurants and takeaway places). In my city, Arnhem, there are at least 5 Indonesian restaurants to please your taste-bud. Also, the famous Indonesian treat for the Dutchies is the Indonesische rijstafel (mini buffets of various Indonesian meals, arranged like a mini buffet and served with white rice). Check out some of them below:
After 4 years living, studying, blending-in, working and enjoying Holland, I hope this insight can enrich you with an insider's view. This is my personal experience, being an Indonesian here, and I would love to hear more from those of you who have been living here as well!
