Fast Food takes on a new meaning with the Travel Buddy. This portable, lightweight, 12 volt oven can cook, bake and warm foods while you travel.
Simply load the Travel Buddy up with pies, pasties, sausage rolls, pizzas hotdogs or a pre-prepared meal and plug into your car's cigarette lighter socket, set the timer and while you are driving or parked, your meal is being heated or cooked.
Please Note: As this unit draws 10 amps, it is suggested where possible, to hardwire directly to the power supply. We have found that the female plugs in a number of vehicles are different sizes and without a firm fit, this can cause overheating in the plug. This will NOT affect the warranty.

- 12 Volt DC 10 Amp
- Insulated stainless steel
- Manufactured and designed in Australia

This little beauty is a game changer. If you spend long days touring in the outback then you MUST get this product - it actually works! It's unbelievable how uplifting it is to have a hot lunch and a cold drink in the middle of nowhere. Be it pies, pizzas or even a roast! whatever the oven in you kitchen at home can do, this little 12V oven in my 4WD can do. Incredibly impressive.

I bought the travel buddy to have hot food while I was out in the bush , while traveling between towns .I found that it does what I expected and am more than happy with the product thankyou.
Posted by Vic on 16th Aug 2018
Was looking for a oven to heat food and came across a 4 wheel drive program on the internet that had a Travel Buddy oven. So looked on the Travel Buddy website and saw it had good reviews and decided to buy one. Best thing i have purchased so far, works well and fits in the back of 4 wheel drive perfectly. Have told all my friends to buy one. As Molly Meldrum says "DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO GET ONE "
Posted by Mandy McNaught on 9th Aug 2018
If you love to get outdoors, travel, just go driving but save money on eating out at fast food places. Well travel buddy camp oven is the ideal new purchase for you. You can make meals and package in foil trays to reheat, cook pies suasage rolls etc, or even cook a baked dinner from scratch. No more eating fast food.. We used a friends on a recent birdsville trip and had hot lunches everyday. We came home & bought 3 for our family.

Have owned an earlier version of the Marine Travel Buddy, it came as no surprise that the new "up-dated version" was as good as expected. My unit is mounted in my 4WD and has been subjected to some of the roughest terrain in the country, and it has never failed me. It's rigid construction ensures long life & reliability. The convenience of being able to heat or cook food while camping or 4WDing can not be underestimated. There's nothing like a hot pie, sausage roll, or leg of lamb, while camping in the Victorian High Country in the dead of winter. Once you have one, you'd never be without it.
Posted by Sharon on 5th Jul 2018
Wow...soooo impressed with this little oven I've just purchased for my husband. He loves it and rates it to all his mates. We just took a quick break up to the Daintree and saved a heap of money cooking everything from pies, sausage rolls, quiche, pizza, homemade frozen lasagne and zucchini slice. The options are endless so this little oven will easily pay for itself in no time. It's awesome to get to a camp site and have dinner ready to go.
Also a big shout out to the wonderful staff who shipped the oven on the same day so we could use it on out camping trip. Great customer service and a great product A+
Posted by Kevin on 17th Nov 2017
I'm an interstate truckie, had the travel buddy marine oven for approximately 2 weeks now, I use it at least twice a day, the best oven I've ever used, plenty of room for the food, easy to clean and best of all cooks my meals perfect, highly recommend this product to everyone, value for money in my opinion

Nothing better than hot pies on a cold days fishing
Posted by Dowlin Haulage on 16th Oct 2017
I brought the travel buddy for my husband to have in his truck as he is away most of the time he said it's the best money we've spent on a oven for the truck then about 5 seconds after completing the order on line he calls me back up and ask if I could purchase another one for his mate a driver of course they both couldn't be happier and I even spoke to the salesman over the phone he was great very helpful
Posted by bernie on 10th Aug 2017
Having bought my Travel Buddy, which arrived quickly. Next day I loaded 8 frozen Four N Twenty pies in, and took of on a 5 hour drive. 2 hours in, the timer went bing, and we stopped for coffee and hot pies. Perfect eating temperature and crisp pastry. I had very happy passengers, and a low cost stop. A few more trips, and the Travel Buddy will have paid for itself by not buying takeway food.
Very Happy. Thankyou. Now just to find where to mount it.......

Chicago, IL — Today at the Chicago Recovery Alliance, a nonprofit that oversees programs to prevent heroin overdoses, Governor Bruce Rauner (R) signed a bill that could greatly expand access to medical cannabis in the state of Illinois. The bill, SB 336, introduced by state Senator Don Harmon, allows certain individuals who have been given an opioid prescription to trade that prescription in for a medical cannabis card. The bill provides that a doctor may authorize the use of medical cannabis immediately for any patient who qualifies for a prescription of OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin or other opioids.

FDA Approves First Medicine Derived from Cannabis - Americans for Safe Access
Washington, DC — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a drug that contains an active ingredient derived from the cannabis plant. The drug, Epidiolex, an oral solution containing cannabidiol (CBD), will be the first and only FDA-approved CBD drug on the market. The FDA has approved Epidiolex for use only in the treatment of two rare seizure disorders (Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome), and is the first FDA-approved treatment for patients suffering from Dravet syndrome. While there have been other medications that mimic the natural cannabinoids found in cannabis that have received FDA approval, Epidiolex is the first non-synthetic medication to be derived directly from the cannabis plant. The FDA's approval of Epidiolex shows that it is possible to make medications from complex plant extracts.

Washington, DC — Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) revealed today that in a recent phone conversation with President Trump, the President expressed support for letting states decide their own policies when it comes to cannabis.

The European People's Party will remain the biggest group in the European Parliament after elections in May, according to a Reuters analysis of polls in 27 EU member states. This means the centre-right EPP's lead candidate Manfred Weber has a shot at succeeding Jean-Claude Juncker as EU chief executive, according to the analysis.
Weber, who leads the EPP in the EU legislature, easily won a party congress ballot to be its "Spitzenkandidat", or official nominee to be president of the European Commission — although many EU member state leaders say they will not be bound by May's election results in choosing Juncker's successor, reported Reuters.
The analysis is based on polls in the 27 EU states or actual election results where these are more recent. Where available, the polls used are those collected by the European Parliament in its monitoring of national political trends.
The analysis indicates that the EPP would remain the biggest party, extending its lead over the centre-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D), whose Spitzenkandidat is Juncker's Dutch deputy Frans Timmermans. But reflecting recent national trends, the two mainstream groups would together drop below half the seats as anti-EU nationalists and a range of other small parties do well.
According to the Reuters analysis, the EPP stands to gain about 177 of the total 705 seats, down from 219 in the current 751-seat chamber. The parliament is shrinking next year because Britain is leaving the EU in March.
The S&D would still be second with 141 seats, down from 189. The Greens are set to hold steady, winning 23 of Germany's 96 seats, or 48 seats in total, down from 52 today.
The liberals of ALDE would become the third largest party with 83 seats, overtaking the ECR group, which will lose out from the departure of its founders from Britain's ruling Conservative party.
The far-right EFDD and ENF groups, aided by the popularity of the now ruling League and 5-Star in Italy, stand to gain 20 seats, to a total of 98.
However, the future line-up in the parliament of anti-immigration parties including France's National Rally and the Dutch Freedom Party is unclear, the broad far-right bloc could grow to 14% from 10%.

Thousands protest in eastern DRC city over killings
Thursday August 8 2019
Five thousand protesters blocked roads and burnt tires in an eastern DR Congo city on Thursday, police and local leaders said, to protest a spate of killings including at least six deaths in the past 24 hours.
Officers have begun to clear Beni city's main roads, urban police commander Colonel Safari Kazingufu said, after protesters set up barricades on the streets from 06:30am (0530 GMT).
"Really, it's not right, there are killings every day," said Kizito Bin Hangi, a local civil society official.
"Young people in Beni city decided to demonstrate. They threw stones on the avenues, burned tires in some neighbourhoods and called on the population to stop all work," he said.
Police gave no figures for the demonstration but civil society leaders said some five thousand people protested.
A similar demonstration took place on Wednesday, with protesters travelling 15 kilometres (nine miles) to deliver a written letter to the office for the UN mission in Congo.
Several armed groups and criminal gangs operate in the volatile Beni region in North Kivu province, battling for control of its rich mineral resources, including the notorious Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).
The ADF has been accused of killing several hundred civilians in recent years.
In the latest attack, on Wednesday, at least six people were killed in Mbau commune by an unknown group.
"The enemy arrived suddenly last night around 8:30pm... six people were killed while fleeing. I saw the bodies of five men and one woman. Four were killed by bullets and two by machete," Noella Katongerwaki, president of the civil society for Beni territory, told AFP.
Two women and three children were also missing, she said.
The army confirmed six civilians had been killed.
Also on Wednesday, five people were kidnapped in the village of Mayele, Katongerwaki said.
As well as facing a string of killings by armed groups, Beni has been at the epicentre of an Ebola epidemic that has killed more than 1,800 people in the last year.

SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque
The Intersection, 133 Grandville Ave. SW, Grand Rapids
Oct. 5, 7 p.m. / $25-$110, sectionlive.com; (616) 451-8232
If you're not familiar with SuicideGirls, think edgy, nonconformist pin-up models for the 21st century. The website has a devoted cult following, thanks to photos, profiles and interviews dedicated to its never-ending roster of tattooed, outsider models.
Since the site's launch in 2001, SuicideGirls has grown enormously in popularity. As a result, the brand dedicated to "alternative beauty" has branched out into other mediums. Their (often nude) models, aka their "bad ass bombshells and geek goddesses," are featured in everything from books and DVDs to video games and music videos, and yes, even their own touring production, Blackheart Burlesque, which stops at The Intersection in Grand Rapids on Oct. 5.
"The ethos of the website is that we took classic pin-up photos and put our modern, updated twist on them," said SuicideGirls co-founder Selena Mooney, who goes by the name Missy Suicide. "So to do a live show we wanted to take classic burlesque and put an updated twist on it and do it with our type of girls — the girls with piercings, tattoos and crazy colored hair [who] wouldn't be seen typically in mainstream media."
From 2002 to 2006, SuicideGirls put on shows across the U.S. and Europe and even opened for musical acts like Courtney Love and Guns N' Roses. But given they were a small company, they decided to put a hold on touring indefinitely — that is until 2012 when they sent a couple of their models to a book signing.
"In 2012 we put out our book called Hard Girls, Soft Light and we sent two girls on a book signing tour up and down the West Coast," Mooney said. "When they got to Santa Cruz, there were 750 people waiting outside a comic book shop to get an autograph."
That's when they knew that fans wanted a live experience and that they could do better than sending a couple of girls out to sign books. The company recruited choreographer Manwe Sauls-Addison, who has worked with Beyonce, Lady Gaga and others, to resurrect the SuicideGirls burlesque concept. What cultivated was the Blackheart Burlesque tour, a re-imagined burlesque show with themes ranging from Quentin Tarantino and Star Wars to Game of Thrones.
"In the interim seven years we had taken off there had been a lot of burlesque shows popping up. People had been pushing the envelope with burlesque," Mooney said. "So we decided to reinvent the pop-culture burlesque — do a fully-themed, pop-culture burlesque."

Not too long ago I posted about staying in churches. As much as I do enjoy the laid back atmosphere in a church with my team, we haven't had host homes in over a week. Tonight, we had our first host home experience in a while. It was glorious. So here are my top five favorite things about staying in host homes!
05. Talking to people other than your teammates. Sure, in host homes we sometimes get to answer the same questions over and over and explain what Youth Encounter is and how team works, but it's always fun to be exposed to different personalities and their experiences. The stories different people have are amazing to hear and, after hearing your teammate talk about that time they went to that one concert with their best friend for the third or fourth time, stories about people you've only known for a few hours are super exciting! (Just kidding — I love my teammate's stories!)
04. Getting to do laundry is a blessing many people take for granted. Almost every Monday we have East Lakes Laundry Day during our day off, when host family washers and dryers are put to the ultimate test by washing teamer clothes. However, when we spend our day off in a church, laundry often has to wait. On team, we only bring enough clothing for about 10 or 12 days. While I can stretch my apparel to two weeks, I find myself uttering the deepest of thanks when my host family offers up their washer and dryer on a non-day off. Clean clothing is a definite perk in life!
03. Trying new foods and beverages is not uncommon in host homes. Most host families offer copious amounts of snack. Tonight, for example, Aarika and I had delicious popcorn…with real butter on it. Sometimes we get to try fun flavors of truffles or a homemade snack of Spicy Roasted Almonds. And often, those snacks and meals are served while enjoying great conversation with our host families.
02. Beds. Sleeping in different homes often means not knowing what kind of bed you'll be sleeping in. But after spending a few nights on couches and then church floor, a warm bed of any kind feels like the fluffiest cloud you can possibly imagine. It's nice to not have to haul our own sleeping bags, mats, blankets, and pillows inside!
01. Host dogs are one of my favorite parts of team. It's been several years since I've had a pet dog, but this year I've gotten to play with puppies of all breeds and sizes. Each host pet has its own personality and style. Some like to play rough — I got knocked over by a German Shepherd the other day who then laid down over my body. I think she was as big as me! (Besides, her name was Katy, so it was only fitting that we became fast friends!) Tonight I hung out with a little Yorkie named Callie. It's too much fun to find that spot on their belly that makes their hind leg jerk uncontrollably. I love spending time with host dogs…it's a nice break from the human world and a little touch of unconditional love that makes the road even more special.
Staying in host homes is such a blessing. I have met amazing people and continue to love spending time in ministry by sharing a piece of my life with new friends. If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to go curl up in my host bed, under my host covers, and enjoy a night of comfort and peace.

The following is a journal type entry of a dream I had last night. In case you never read my first entry, I tend to write my dreams exactly as they were, noting specific details like color and such but putting them in 3rd person as if it were a story. I think it helps me practice ^-^
Also, as a note, I know it may be unpleasant to read, especially since most of the 'main characters' don't have names but I only recorded the names of those I remembered and put my name in place of the character who was supposed to be me in the dream–though I think her name was different, something Native American.
The three of them travelled together. This time they got off of a rowboat and onto a dock where there were two men. The first one past by and traded her brand new shirt for the second man's dingy one, making him smile proudly. The three women, looking like a medieval Charlie's Angels, walked down the dock and sat down in a grate type area. The first man, jealous of the other's good fashion started a fight and shot at the man in the new shirt. He missed and the bullet went through a man in front of the women.
"I've been shot!" Carol shouted hysterically, the front of the three women, brushing her blonde hair out of her face.
"Oh no! Let me see!" The other said as she leaned over Carol's foot, the place she was throwing a fit over. Then she shook her head. "Carol! It barely got you, it's not even a graze!"
Carol didn't pay any attention as she continued to go into how she was going to die.
In the meantime…
Two men were travelling together. A human and an elf. The elf had strong features, and long, straight blonde hair.
"It's time for me to go on. She is gone, and there is nothing left for me…" The elf was saying.
The man shook his head. "This is what he wants!"
"I know, but I don't have a choice. Goodbye." The elf climbed into a contraption of all black that looked more like the mold he might have come out of instead of a coffin. Peacefully, he layed back into the coffin, his eyes closed, ready.
The human stood and watched in aggravated sadness, but also with resignation. As he was about to turn away, the elf strained upwards, his face in pain, his voice growling with it. Startled, the man looked back at his friend and watched with puzzled wonder.
Why is their voluntary passing filled with such pain? He looks as though he's going to have a heart attack… Just as suddenly as the elf went into pain, he disappeared.
Light brown sand covered the elf and desperately, he pushed through it, like he was swimming through extremely thick water. Unable to breathe he began to lose conciousness. It was then that the sand just fell away and he was standing in front of him in a desert surrounding. His robes were of deep crimson and black…he had betrayed them this whole time…it was he who was responsible for the death of his beloved, he who wanted him dead…so why bring me here?
"You." The growl came out, almost involuntarily.
He laughed. His dark, rich voice mocking, a twin to Tim Curry's. "Surprised?" He gestured and a yellow and white worm-like monster appeared out of the wall of sand around him…
* * * * *
Saronai got down on her hands and knees to cross the log over the chasm behind her friends. The log thinned in places and she was too afraid of heights to attempt it on her feet. Unlike the old Shaman who was with him. All of the friends had just recently met, but Saronai and the Shaman had something in common, where no one else in the party did. They were both of Native American decent. Saronai brushed her thick black hair out of her face and felt it caress her hips when she shook her head slightly, looking up at the elder Native American. He was the only one out of the five of them that crossed the logs (for this was not the first one they had to cross) standing.
"I must put my trust in the ancients," he said in reply to all the looks he was getting. Trust and you will cross.
Saronai looked down at the ground, a bit ashamed of herself and brushed her hair away again as she stood up, determined to cross on her feet. Trust in the ancients hm… She took her first step quite unsteadily, and was beginning to make it, though very slowly. She glanced back at two of the other three behind her, seeing that she had only took one step over the chasm, the rest of her balancing act was on the log on the ground behind her. I'm going so slow…I don't wish to be a pain.
Saronai stopped walking and looked down at the spiralling chasm, her heart beating faster. She felt her head sway and began to back down the log and onto the ground behind her. "I'm sorry."
The shaman laid his hand on her shoulder, his kindly face smiling. "It looks as though our punch-out queen is trying to become a priest-queen," he laughed, referencing her more white upbringing instead of the Native American terms. Saronai looked down at her feet and waited for the rest of them to cross and then got down on her hands and knees to cross behind them.
Sand fell away from around her, as though a few tons of it had been poured over her and she still came out on top. She looked around, bewildered, to see a pale man, with black hair, in a black and blood colored robe, laughing. A giant, funny looking yellow and white worm's head poking out of the sand wall behind him. Saronai could feel the evil emanating from him.
"It's you!" She exclaimed, not quite knowing what 'you' he was. Just that it was him, the opposing force of her group of 5, the whole reason they travelled, even though none of them knew it. They thought they were only travelling for something better. Quite suddenly Saronai realized that they were the ones meant to stop all the suffering this man was causing. And she wouldn't be able to handle it as a simple warrior…for she was meant to be the main opposing force to this man, and he had taken a fancy in her.
He knows… She scrutinized him. He smiled deeply, as if trying to be charming but reminded her more of a shark grinning at its next meal. He doesn't think I realize how vital I am to his undoing…He wants to persuade me to his side. "Who are you?" She demanded.
The robed-man bowed slightly. "You will be mine…"
She was taken aback by his abruptness. Does he think that's charming? "I am no one's! Especially yours. I don't have to be a shaman to know you." Her own growl suprised her.
"Then I guess we have no further business. Leave, if you can." He set her with a challenging gaze, his smile wide and sneaky.
Looking back to keep an eye on his still figure she ran out into the desert. As she got out further she sensed him release the giant worm to get her. Her awareness went above the desert to her figure running in its sands, the worm chasing, and safety so far away…
No. It wasn't her. This figure had long blonde hair, to his waist like her own, pulled back in a partial pony-tail. He was elven…And then she was back with her party, crouched in the middle of the log, her face white and wet with a cold sweat. The others were already acrossed, looking back at her curiously. Saronai searched through the faces of her recent friends and her gaze fell upon the shaman. His look was the only one unpuzzled, but it was worse than the others. His eyes were flat, his mouth set grimly as he looked at her, knowing what she'd seen and not liking it at all.
Ok…that's it, now that you all probably think I have this big ego problem ^o^ Unless you already thought that… -.-
I really don't, just my dreams seem to lol

I really need to get a proper light box as these pics do not do justice to this watch.
USA in house 30 jewel automatic 10COAC movement, cap and KIF Duofix shock jewelled at the escape and fourth wheels. KIF Flector shock setting on the balance. West German made case. I've seen this before on various watches, and we have speculated as to the why of it, some of them certainly exist because they were sold to servicemen at PX's.
At the time, there were not a lot of watch companies doing what Bulova was doing, and a 30 jewel movt is very much top drawer. It's not a chronometer, that is something Bulova seemed to show little interest in. If they had made these slightly larger, they would be red hot right now, as it is the oversize 60's watches that seem to be the most collectible.
Split stem to facilitate removal of the movt, as the case has no back. This watch is in the queue, but is unserviced at the moment. I started cleaning the edges of the dial to some effect, as they were badly corroded. The reflector ring/tension ring is also missing from the crystal.
Commander, but the advert I found has no variants listed.
Wow Rob, Small world we live in. I'm almost certain that watch crossed my bench at one time. I noticed the Luminous Dots right off. I think I redid those dots! The hands would have been left alone because the old lum was intact and I wasn't very good at doing hands because the mix had to be thinner and it was difficult to get it just right.
In reply to Did it have a Black or Brown by bourg01
Ok, just a little watchmaking update here...
The cannon pinion was not the issue, the keyless works had been assembled improperly. Basically, on this calibre, the minute wheel is spring loaded and if you just drop it into place it will not contact the cannon pinion properly. The sequence in the transmission is:
The Centre wheel has the cannon pinion friction fit onto it on the dial side. It is tight, but not so tight that it will not slip; this allows the watch to be set when the stem is pulled out. The sliding pinion slides to engage a couple of tiny intermediate pinions which drive the outer rim of the minute wheel, which is in contact with the CP. The CP turns, and the minute hand is mounted on it, so it turns also. The centre of the minute wheel is a pinion, and it engages the outer rim of the hour wheel, which just sits loose on the CP. Thus interlocked, the minute hand turns and the hour wheel turns, which carries the hour hand, albeit at a slower rate: 12:1
What was happening was that the watch was ticking merrily away, and the cannon pinion was indeed turning, but was not in proper contact with the minute wheel. I have included two pics:
And here is the full assembly, with the setting lever spring back in place and the hour wheel in place:
Tres simple, n'est- ce pas?
I should mention the reason they do this is to provide some tension to the assembly. Have you ever noticed sometimes setting your watch, you wait for the time signal or the top of the minute (with a hacking movt usually) and then push the crown in to start the watch, and the hand sometimes slips back or forward a tiny bit? In most watches, the wheels in question are freewheeling and loose, so you get quite a bit of slop here, from the sliding pinion, through the intermediate wheels to the minute wheel itself.
In reply to And here is the full by Reverend Rob

March was a busy month, starting with a visit to the Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia on a very snowy Thursday. Amazingly my travels went smoothly and I had a lovely afternoon catching up with creative friends. I bought just one piece of fabric from Lisa Comfort's new collection, which you'll see shortly.
You may have already seen my Areli blouse by Republique du Chiffon and the Maven Patterns French Dart Shift for which I bought the pattern on my second adventure, this time to Birmingham for the Sewing For Pleasure show at the NEC. I'd done some background work for a friend who had booked a stand and it was lovely to see my work in action. This time I bought rather a lot, including a metre of beautiful Lady McElroy cotton lawn from Doughtys, from which I've made a Simplicity 1364 blouse.
The Ultimate Culottes were released as the new Sew Over It PDF Club pattern for the month and I've sewed two pairs, one in wool (seen above) and one in Lisa Comfort's new cotton lawn (Busy Blossoms) with a matching Silk Cami.
We also had a family trio to Disney Dancing on Ice, thanks to Mr T.'s cousin! The Smaller Small asked for a green dress so that she could go as Merida from 'Brave'. I bought some forest green ponte di Roma at B&M and sewed a lengthened and narrowed MadeIt Groove Dress with gold coloured fold over elastic at the neckline, and she loves it!
The Jennifer Lauren Handmade Gable Top has become a wardrobe staple. It is quick ck to make and fits well, so I sewed another two to help me keep warm and replace some older, worn out tops. One is in a dark teal cotton/elastane jersey and one in an Avoca viscose jersey with a tiny shoe print from Fabworks.
Finally, my most complex make of the month was my Closet Case Patterns Kalle Shirt Dress. I chose a plain chambray from Fabworks so I could focus on the construction rather than worrying about pattern matching. I tried out the 'burrito method' of your construction and found great joy in a nestly sewn placket! One of the loveliest things about sewing challenges like #sewmystyle2018
is the sense of community and the opportunity to find and offer support and encouragement with each project.

HINGE for Digital Transformation
I studied a mini MBA in Digital Innovation this year and have been introduced to a solid project planning pattern for digital transformation from the professors (Heinze A; Griffiths M; Fenton A; Fletcher G – 2018).
The HINGE digital transformation project plan follows 5 broad stages: Horizon scanning, Internal Audit, New models, Gap Analysis & Evaluation of options.
I have a paper on this subject and do not plan to cover it in detail however will summarise the key points of HINGE below:
Horizon scanning – evaluation of the external environment.
Internal audit – technical skills, products, services and technological infrastructure.
New models – New business models such as subscription, IOT, digital specific products and services are developed
Gap analysis – Evaluation of current and future digital business maturity stages as well as business models are identified and plans made to bridge/ maximise.
Evaluation of options – Strategy and feasibility testing against business priorities are developed that then moves on to more specific cost/benefit analysis.
…Then implement, transform and Iterate!

MCY 96 wins most achieved award in Cannes
Published: Wednesday, 27 September 2017
The MCY 96, presented to the public at the 40th edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival after its exclusive summer unveiling in Venice, won the "Most Achieved" award category in the 80'-125' segment at the World Yacht Trophies organised by Yachts France magazine.
(Photo: Monte Carlo Yachts - MCY 96)
During the award ceremony at the Carlton Hotel's beachfront, more than 1,000 guests came together to celebrate. For the occasion, the nominated boats were moved from the boat show to the Croisette for the highly anticipated Yacht Parade.
The World Yacht Trophies panel comprised of industry experts, captains and journalists that assigned the "Most Achieved Trophy" to the MCY 96. They announced the award: "Seventh yacht produced by the MCY shipyard, the 96 is the result of an excellent work between the design team Nuvolari and Lenard with the internal engineering. The quality is always very present."
"This World Yacht Trophy for the new MCY 96 is wonderful news" said Carla Demaria, President of Monte Carlo Yachts. "The boat received a very warm welcome at its private showing in Venice, and it's wonderful to see that confirmed here in Cannes."
"We are very proud of the MCY 96, which in many ways opens new possibilities for the MCY range."
The "Most Achieved Trophy" will complete the collection crown of awards received by the shipyard in the recent years. The MCY 70, MCY 76, MCY 80 and MCY105 have all been recognised by the Trophies in the past.
The MCY 96 was officially presented during the Cannes Yacht Festival along the entire MCY collection and is on show at the Monaco Yacht Show on September 27-30.

For genealogists, obituaries and death notices are important sources of family history sometimes leading to valuable clues for further research. Check out what resources the Library has to offer, and learn more about obituaries and death notices and how to find them.
Obituaries and death notices are very important sources for family historians. The two terms are often used interchangeably, although there is a slight difference in meaning.
Unlike civil birth, marriage and death registration, death notices and obituaries are not required by law, so there may not be one available for every death.
Death notices and obituaries vary greatly in length and content, although death notices are usually very brief.
Death notices may contain:
Obituaries may also include:
Death notices and obituaries sometimes provide important clues that may lead to further sources of information. For example, an obituary may identify the church where the funeral was held. This church may also have baptismal and marriage records relating to the family.
In some cases, in addition to the death notice or obituary, there may be a related newspaper article. For example, if the death was the result of an accident, murder, or suspicious circumstances, there may be coverage in the news section.
It's also useful to keep in mind that obituaries were not always published only in the locality in which the death occurred. For example, if a person grew up in a city in Manitoba but later moved to and subsequently died in Ontario, an obituary may have been published in Manitoba, in order to inform family and friends who had remained in that city.
Deaths of average citizens are more likely to have been reported in small, local newspapers than in national newspapers.
Death notices and obituaries are usually published within a few days of the death, but in some cases, the gap may be longer.
An overview of Canadian obituary research, including many useful tips and examples, is found on pages 76-99 of Researching Canadian Newspaper Records by Ryan Taylor.
The more details you have regarding the date and place of a person's death, the easier it will be to find his or her obituary. The following is a guide to the basic steps that may be involved:
For more information on obituary research, consult Obituaries: A Guide to Sources by Betty Jarboe.
Obituaries in Print | Obituaries on the Internet
Obituaries in Print - Searching the Library Catalogue
The Vancouver Public Library has several collections of obituaries, as well as a selection of printed obituary indexes.
To locate obituary resources in print, search the library catalogue. There are a number of ways to find obituary materials in the library catalogue. One method is to search by Subject. From the library catalogue search screen, select Subject from the drop-down menu, and enter either of the following headings:
The above two headings may be subdivided geographically, for example:

Marie Curie nurses care for terminally ill people in specially designed hospices and in their own homes, so they can spend their final days with their loved ones. We aimed to raise £500,000 to fund one hour of nursing care for every hour of the partnership, but through fantastic colleague and customer support we doubled this target and raised over £1.15 million by the end of 2016.
Colleagues took part in runs, treks, bed races, swimathons and many more activities to support the charity. We organised several Group-wide Marie Curie days in our branches and agencies, including a static bike challenge to celebrate the Tour de France Grand Depart in 2014. We held a Guinness World Record breaking tea party in June 2015 and a 'Keepy Uppy' challenge led by Marie Curie Ambassador and Sky Sports football pundit Chris Kamara during Euro 2016. We also generated a £334,000 donation through an affinity savings account which proved very popular with customers.
In total, the partnership funded over 57,500 hours of nursing care for terminally ill people. Colleagues also supported the charity by volunteering 7,421 hours of their time to take part in Great Daffodil bucket collections, work at Marie Curie hospices and charity shops and mentoring some of the charity's managers to develop their leadership skills.

text: Our History Founded in 2003, out of the concern of protecting family legacies, Wealth Management Solutions was created on the belief that no one should suffer the loss of their estate and legacy due to a lack of advice and planning.My family's legacy vanished when my father passed away prematurely without having planned properly. We lost my grandfather's estate and all my childhood mementos when the property was abruptly sold — We do not want our clients to experience the loss of legacy due to a lack of planning. ~ Richard Riva - FounderHaving experienced my father's premature and untimely death over 20 years ago, I found out firsthand how difficult making sound financial decisions can be while processing the grief of a loved one's death. This difficult period cemented my belief in proper planning and simplifying ones' financial life. By completing these two steps, life's inevitable key questions: What now? Will we be OK? What's missing? can be answered in a timely manner with confidence. ~ Martin Lombrano - PartnerWealth Management Solutions is an independent advisory practice founded on and dedicated to the principal of doing what is best for the client and their family to ensure their legacy of purpose.

Oh, if only! CSI's members approved amendments to the Institute bylaws twice in the last few years, and each time, those amendments required changes to region and chapter bylaws. Are we done now?
The answer will depend on how we want CSI to change. The Institute board may recommend that the bylaws be amended, as happened in 2006 when the board proposed changes intended to improve our governance process. Members also may propose changes; this year's amendment was the result of member requests to have a single type of full membership.
Let's take a look at bylaws, and see if we can dispel the mystique that surrounds them. I doubt we'll get to the point that you love them, but at least you should be able to say bylaws without a shudder.
I suspect most members have not read their chapter, region, or Institute bylaws. Until I became a chapter president in 2001, I gave them little attention myself; I figured they were someone else's problem. The general reluctance even to look at bylaws is not surprising. Written in the legalese we all love to hate, their very appearance is intimidating, and it seems they are discussed only at board meetings, and then only when required to try to solve a difficult problem.
Warning! Before we go on I must tell you - I am not an attorney, nor do I claim to be an expert on these issues. My comments are based on my last several years' experience on chapter, region, and Institute boards. Read at your own risk; past results do not guarantee future performance.
However, I am fortunate to have worked with members who are well versed in these matters, and, because I had to work with bylaws and with Robert's rules myself, I took the time to try to understand them. Although I wouldn't recommend them as light reading, they aren't really all that bad if you understand a few principles, and look at the big picture.
Corporations and organizations recognized by government agencies typically have a few basic documents that describe what they are and what their purpose is - articles of incorporation, bylaws, and policies or standing rules. In that order, each becomes more specific, and easier to change.
The foundation lies in the articles of incorporation. This document, especially for non-profit organizations, can be brief, stating the name of the organization, its general purpose, its home address, the names of those forming the organization, and a few other items of information. Many articles of incorporation refer to the organization's bylaws, which are used to provide more detail. Most states have specific requirements for articles of incorporation, and offer standard forms to simplify the process of incorporation.
According to Robert's Rules of Order, bylaws "should include all the rules that are of such importance that they cannot be changed in any way without previous notice…" In their simplest form, they need do only a few things, the most important being: define the makeup of the board of directors, describe the duties and powers of the officers, explain the procedures for calling meetings, define a quorum, and explain how to amend the bylaws. Bylaws usually defer further operational requirements to policies, standing rules, or an operating guide.
Policies govern matters that do not change the rights or responsibilities stated in the bylaws. For example, bylaws may require an annual meeting of the membership, and policy will state the specific date. Many things need not, or should not, be covered either in bylaws or in policy; the specific time of the annual meeting could be decided each year, based on availability of facilities.
As another example, bylaws may authorize the board to create committees, then allow policy to identify standing committees, what committee membership requirements are, and what those committees are to do.
Institute Secretary Sheryl Dodd-Hansen suggests thinking of these documents in terms we are more familiar with: the bylaws are the conditions of the contract, and the policy manual is the general requirements. The bylaws define the entities involved, their rights, and responsibilities; policies define the requirements for day-to-day operation of the organization.
In most cases, it is relatively difficult to amend bylaws, but easier to change policies. This helps ensure stability and continuity of the organization, but allows the board to act quickly to make policies fit changing conditions.
My experience tells me that the best bylaws are those that don't go beyond setting the ground rules. Apparently, it's tempting to expand bylaws with well-meaning requirements; often, these things sound good at the time, but later become obstacles that must be changed by amendment. Each provision should be evaluated to determine if it truly is essential in the long term, or if it is something better left to policy where it can be modified as needed. Is it necessary to state a specific date for an event? Some deadlines may be necessary, but before including a date in the bylaws, consider that an amendment will be necessary to change it. Does it make sense to have non-voting members on the board, or to require the presence of someone who is not a member of the board? Board members who are not able to vote may take their responsibilities less seriously, and a board is free to seek input from anyone, even if they are not board members.
Is it unusual to change bylaws? Well-written bylaws may not change for a long time, requiring amendment only in response to significant changes. Even though amendment is not a quick or easy process, bylaws should be changed when they no longer meet the needs of the organization. When change is necessary, begin by explaining the reasons for the revision, and leave the bylaws discussion for later. Members who understand why a change is necessary will find it easier to consider the uninviting text of the bylaws.
Although bylaws may not require change for many years, annual review of bylaws is a good idea, not only to see if there is reason to amend them, but to familiarize or re-familiarize members, especially those in leadership positions and those who aspire to leadership. Bylaws are more than a guideline; they are the rules that govern your organization, and the board is required by law to follow them.
With the recent changes in membership classification, this is a great time for all members to dust off those bylaws and learn what they say.

Let bylaws be bygones
1 comment:
It has been years since I last signed a contract with a client. This is not a reflection of the economy; a jpeg of my signature is already embedded in my master word processing document. If an issue ever arose, we have the "paper" trail of correspondence preceding and following the "signing" to demonstrate the intent. Fortunately, I have never been in a contest where the terms of a contract was at issue -- I could just as easily be working on a handshake.ReplyDelete

Le Baleux Cream – How you can be Scammed with Trial *LeBaleux*
In this LeBaleux Cream skin serum there is antioxidants also present that help in providing protection from the damaging effects of uv radiations and free radicals. Basically, as the cell that is present deep inside the skin do not able to get the proper nutrients so they start to lower their proliferation and so that they also release free radicals to protect themselves. This protection mechanism of the skin cells harms the texture of the skin as the large amount of free radicals will accumulate in the epidermal cells. Thus protect the skin from these accumulated free radicals.

"I had asked Julia to be part of my first show, Beautiful Dreamers, and getting to know her through the process of painting her portrait was truly an inspirational experience for me," says Sweterlitsch. "Not only is Julia a wonderful person, but her dedication to her art, ballet, as well as her entrepreneurial acumen in starting and growing Barre is truly impressive. Getting to know Julia inspired me to approach my painting with the same commitment and passion as she brings to dance."
As a portrait painter, Sweterlitsch was intrigued by the concept of a "serial portrait," or a series of portraits all about a single subject meant to capture different aspects of the subject's personality. Andrew Wyeth has, perhaps, the most famous "serial portrait" in his Helga series. Alex Katz created a similar project through his lifelong dedication to painting his wife, Ada. "I became interested in how the cumulative effect of a serial portrait can convey a greater understanding of an individual than a single image or moment. Once I met Julia, I realized I would be honored to attempt a 'serial portrait' of such an amazing woman," explains Sweterlitsch.
Sweterlitsch created her images for Julia based on a series of photo shoots she has taken of Erickson at her home/studio in Greenfield and the studios of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. She was welcomed by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre to observe a studio rehearsal for Giselle where she created life-drawings of Julia, and the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre also graciously allowed Erickson and Sweterlitsch to use costumes for paintings that will highlight the artistry of PBT's dramatic productions while also showcasing specific moments of choreography. The centerpiece of the show will be a diptych of Erickson as Odette and Odile in Swan Lake.
Sonja Sweterlitsch: Julia is on exhibit from August 20th through September 14th.

Since the 20th century, there have been many exciting achievements in the field of ecology and evolution, many of which were formulated using statistical and mathematical functions. In particular, statistical and mathematical models are a necessity for developing some sub-disciplines and theories like population genetics and ecology, neutral theory of molecular evolution and biodiversity, and machine-learning techniques for species distribution modeling.
This book serves as an elementary guide to showcase some statistical and mathematical models that have been applied and used in contemporary ecological or evolutionary research. Some models may be old-fashioned, whilst some others have been further extended or developed so as to better address special research questions presented in each chapter of the book. Technical aspects of each statistical model are presented in detail to allow readers to follow and apply their own research and practices. (Imprint: Nova)

A 1,221 sq m (13,140 sq ft) unit at St Peter's Road Industrial Estate in Huntingdon has been let to the UK's largest privately owned home improvements business, confirms Barker Storey Matthews who acted for the landlord in the instruction.
The Kairos Group, trading locally under the Zenith Windows brand, will occupy Unit B1 Tower Close as its new depot headquarters in the region. The move sees the business expand from smaller premises nearby on Latham Road, Huntingdon where it has been based for over 15 years.
With a headcount of 15 permanent employees, the company had been seeking additional depot space in which to run the installation and maintenance side of the business which serves both residential and commercial clients.
Alex Scott, Procurement Director of the Kairos Group, explains, "In looking for premises to accommodate the company's growth, we wanted to remain in Huntingdon.
The town is well placed for transport connections. As one of our twelve UK centres, from here we can serve clients across a large regional swathe of the country.
The unit at Tower Close met all our requirements. Our workforce has recently expanded by 30 people and we are actively recruiting for additional installation teams to support our growth plans now we are occupying larger business premises."
This is the second instruction let through Barker Storey Matthews at Tower Close recently. The neighbouring unit has been let for use as additional space to the occupier of Unit B3. The confirmation of these two recent lettings sees over 22,000 sq ft of industrial floor space secured by local, Huntingdon companies at one the town's key industrial business locations.
Barker Storey Matthews reports that there is a continued shortage of industrial floor space within the Huntingdon area, with very few units of the type and size as these two recent lets at Tower Close available.
For more information on what industrial space and commercial property is available in Huntingdon, contact Richard Adam at Barker Storey Matthews, tel 01480 451578, firstname.lastname@example.com or see bsm.uk.com.

@JavascriptInterfacepublic void processRefund(Long amt) Intent intent = new Intent(); try { intent = new Intent("com.clover.intent.action.START_MANUALTRANSACTION"); } catch (Exception e) { myWebView.loadUrl("javascript: alertMessage('Device not supported, please load Manual Transaction manually.', 0, 0, 0)"); } }This works fine on our Sandbox device but not the Live device, and works fine on all our Merchant's live devices. There isn't a problem with this code, I am not offered a refund option even if I load Manual Transaction manually from the Android home page, without using our app.
Jeffrey thanks for your continued input, however ignoring the code side of things, the fact remains I cannot manually create a refund on the Clover Station. When I say "manually" I literally mean using my finger on the till. If I select Manual Transaction from the main Android home page, the only option available to me is the Charge button, which is full width across the bottom of the input area, underneath Note and Total. On our Dev equipment this area is split into two buttons .. Refund and Charge.
I had thought this might be something to do with having a Mini connected to the Station, which is the case with our dev kit but not the live kit. So I disconnected the Mini but no change on either station.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. The config of your merchant has disabled refunds in that app. I'm giving you options for trying to discover that fact and adjust your app accordingly. There are going to be merchants where naked credits (what you are calling refunds) is simply not allowed... and it's something the merchant case restrict from certain employees or not allow at all.

Next in our 'Breaking the colour code' décor series is aquamarine. A colour that ebbs and flows with intriguing allure. Who doesn't love aquamarine?
Is it blue or is it green? The defining factor of this enigmatic hue is that it sets one wondering. Blue that is nearly green, green that slips imperceptibly towards blue — aquamarine occupies that elusive ground where the two colours meet and merge. It occurs in nature in the glassy gems of the mineral world and in the countless blue-greens of the ocean, and it radiates the same peaceful qualities of a still sea.
Perhaps because of its cooling, calming effects, aquamarine is often found in tropical countries. Take inspiration from the vibrant tones of equatorial climates and set aquamarine against the clear, fruity hues of lime, mango, papaya and banana, and the strong flamboyant colours of local blooms like the pinks and purples of bougainvillea. Bright and lively, yet more subtle than basic primaries, these colours love to band together, offsetting each other. Use them in twos or threes, or even piled one on the other for a jolt of high-impact energy.
In contrast, white makes aquamarine sing out and the two colours in combination relay a delicious freshness. Try pairing them in large, modern spaces offset by plenty of natural wood to counteract an overly clinical effect. Used with cream, on the other hand, aquamarine is tinged with nostalgia, like a thirties tearoom. With black, it is sharp and dashing — a shiny fifties radio or the chromed fin of a car. With grape or taupe, it is cool and contemporary.
Of course, aquamarine also sits happily alongside the hues that occupy the entire arc of the blue-green spectrum. Use them together and enjoy the way the colours interact at the extremes. And play games with texture: this cool tone in soft, warm fabrics has an intriguing allure — like aquamarine velvet, what a contradiction in terms.
Try: Plascon Caribbean Current (G6-C1-1)

NAME: Paola Talamini Minotto
BORN IN: Treviso (Italy)
LIVING IN: Shanghai
YOU ARE WORKING AS: Free lance fashion merchandising consultant, specialized in kidswear
PLEASE DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 1 or 2 SENTENCES: A passionate traveler, in love with unique things and undiscovered places. A disorganized mom in love with her little "dumpling".
Born and raised in Treviso (Italy), Paola is a Shanghai-based fashion consultant with more than 12 years experience as a senior manager in prestigious fashion brands. She is married to Edgardo and mom to a baby girl named Olivia…
Travel lover and curios of different cultures, she started spending summers during high school and college working as a shop assistant in London and Miami… In 2001, after graduating in Economics in Venice, she moved to New York… for 2 years she lived in that bustling city, before returning to Milan, to attend a master in Fashion Marketing… soon after she started a career in product & brand management working for Benetton and Diesel…
2008… back to Shanghai… to lead a one year project for Benetton. That one year became nearly 9 years, and Paola is still in Shanghai… changed job and worked for Burberry for 4 years, got an MBA, explored Asia, got married, had a baby, started her own consulting company and most recently, inspired by little Olivia, opened a kids blog… called 'The Pink Dumpling', where she shares her favourites and a little bit of her busy life in Shanghai and around the world…
She loves unique things, undiscovered places and one-of-a-kind experiences… Paola is a crazy traveller… exploring the world together with her husband and Olivia, who's born in Shanghai… 3 years old… and speaking three languages already…
Ever since they moved to Asia they have been to Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Philippines, but they still have a lot to visit. Bali is her favorite destination so far.
She loves Shanghai, which she finds fascinating, dynamic and full of contrasts. On the weekends she does biking with her family in the Former French Concession, the hip and cool Shanghai neighborhood where she lives ever since she moved there. She is curious… all the time… trying to explore the very local corners of her city, visit art galleries, try new restaurants, bakeries and make customized clothes in the fabric market…
1. Which is the most fascinating even simple item you ever bought for children?
The most adorable striped and polka dot white/grey ceramic handles, which I bought to give a twist to Olivia's room and to the all white Ikea furnitures. I bought them in Etsy and surely will bring them with me wherever we will relocate in the future.
2. Is there one children's shop which has put a magic spell on you?
Recently I fell in love with Smallable concept store and BonTon in Paris, where it's impossible to leave empty handed.
3. Which children's brand you just love?
There are too many I love to mention just one, but in love with small independent brands like Louis Louise, Kidsagogo (a brand I have discovered in Bali), Little Creative Factory, Wolf & Rita, Búho, Marie Puce, C'era Una Volta (a new Italian brand from Shanghai), and Korean brands like BeneBene or Minidressing. For special occasions I love Bonpoint and Il Gufo.
4. Children shoes… In which brand one can conquer the world?
For girls definitely Anniel, an Italian brand based near Treviso, my hometown. Originally on the sport industry (ballet, gymnastic gear and shoes), they have built their reputation in the fashion world with their un-structured hand made in Italy shoes.
5. Do you remember one special item you had been wearing almost day and night when you were a child?
I don't recall any special item I loved so much, but surely I would have loved to wear day and night ballerinas, which my mum never bought me when I was a child. That's why maybe I am now a ballerina freak with countless pair of Porselli, Repetto, Charles Philip, Anniel, MiuMiu!
7. Your favourite children's book?
8. Which museum even kids would spend hours in?
In Shanghai definitely the Museum of National History.
9. You are based in Shanghai. What's the best place for kids there?
There are so many options for kids in Shanghai. To mention a few the Legoland Discovery Center, Shanghai Aquarium, Zotter Cholcolate Factory, not to mention the many parks that Shanghai offers (People Square Park, Fuxing Park, Century Park, Xujahui Park etc.). We also love to go to art galleries like Moganshan 50 , Power Station of Art or to the K11 Art Mall, which often hold kids-friendly activities.
Disneyland has also just recently opened in Shanghai, but considering the crowd (we are in China 😉 ), we will leave it for 2018.
10. You've been a lot around the world… which restaurant and hotel you recommend?
Linea d'Ombra in Venice has an amazing terrace with stunning view on the Giudecca Canal and the seafood is just superb. It's the perfect spot for a romantic dinner.
More than a hotel I would recommend Villa Shambala in Bali where I spent 2 weeks with friends few years ago. It's a 5BR private villa with 20mt pool in the middle of fashionbale Seminyak, walking distance to the beach, hip restaurant and boutiques, but hidden enough to be super quite and relaxing. Perfect for a vacation with a group of friends and family.
11.The best place you had been with your daughter?
I have the best memory from our recent holiday in New Zealand, especially in the beautiful Wahieke Island (near Auckland), the perfect place to combine relax, good wine&food, sunshine.
12. Share with us your 3 favorite Instagram accounts.
Erica Choi, Emilie Ristevski and thebucketlistfamily.
