18 November, 2014
On 11 November 2014, a Business Competition Supervisory Commission ("KPPU") commissioners panel decided that the bancassurance agreement between Bank Rakyat Indonesia ("BRI"), BRIngin Life and Heksa violated Article 15 (2) and 19 a of the Indonesian Anti-Monopoly Law. The panel imposed fines of IDR 25bn, 19bn and 13bn on BRI, BRIngin Life and Heksa respectively.
Currently, life insurance is compulsory for mortgage holders. KPPU initiated this case when it found that BRI's mortgage customers did not have a choice of life insurance to cover their mortgages and could only subscribe to products provided by the BRIngin Life and Heksa consortium.
According to KPPU, customers must be free to choose the life insurance to cover their mortgage as evidenced by BI circular letter No 12/35/DPNP dated 23 December 2010 ("BI Circular Letter"), which states that banks must offer mortgage applicants insurance from at least three insurance companies.
KPPU found evidence that when setting terms and conditions for insurance companies that wish to engage with BRI, BRI set terms and conditions that can only be fulfilled by BRIngin Life – Heksa consortium. KPPU also found other evidence that BRI rejected offers from other insurance companies that wished to engage with BRI.
Article 15(2) of the Indonesian Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits tying-in agreements, i.e., agreements in which the recipient must agree to buy another product as a condition of receiving the first product. Article 19 a of the Indonesian Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits market foreclosure, i.e., conduct of business actors, unilaterally or jointly with others, to bar or restrict other business actors from doing the same business activities in the same relevant market.
It appears that KPPU considered BRI's unreasonable refusal to let other life insurance companies engage with BRI to provide life insurance for BRI's mortgage customers as market foreclosure, which violated Article 19 a of the Indonesian Anti-Monopoly Law. The refusal means that BRI's mortgage customers can only purchase life insurance from the BRIngin Life-Hexa consortium, which constitutes a tying-in practice.
Apart from the fines, KPPU ordered BRI to annul its agreements with customers that require the customers to use only life insurance products from the BRIngin Life – Heksa consortium. KPPU also ordered BRI to allow other insurance companies to offer their products to BRI's mortgage customers.
Further, KPPU suggested that the Financial Services Authority (OJK) impose sanctions on banks that violate the BI Circular Letter. KPPU also suggested that OJK take into consideration competition principles in regulating/monitoring risk management implementation for banks that have marketing cooperation with insurance companies.
This report is based on summaries of this case published by KPPU and the media. It usually takes several months for KPPU to publish the full text of its decisions on its website.
It is interesting to note however that in this case, KPPU focused on two aspects of the link between life insurance and mortgage. The first aspect is the alleged foreclosure of competitors of BRIngin Life and Heksa who wish tomarket life insurance products through BRI. In the first aspect, KPPU appears to find that the BRI, BRIngin Life-Hexa cooperation has substantially barred competition.
The second aspect is tying-in between life insurance and mortgage. In the second aspect, KPPU found that consumers have no real choice. The market definition and market power measurement aspects of this decision are unclear from the materials that are published so far. It should be interesting to see how the full decisions tackle this aspect. Although BRI is a major bank, and BRIngin Life is a major player in life insurance, it does not appear obvious that they are dominant. KPPU may have opted to set a low threshold for market foreclosure which, if true, may mean that this decision could have potentially wide-ranging consequences for exclusive dealing arrangements and tie-ups in general.

Monday Moonday,Your Weekly Moon Forecast 4/2-4/8
Welcome to April!
I hope all of you enjoyed your Full Moon weekend and are feeling refreshed this Monday. I had the pleasure of doing a personal ritual on the eve of the Full Moon and then spending the Full Moon day with my Coven Sisters. I feel personally recharged as I got to rest as well as accomplish a lot over the weekend. I feel this next week might have us accomplishing a lot as well with a lot of energy flow in Capricorn and Aries this week. With the Moon beginning to Wane, we could also feel like we find ourselves retreating within, so the accomplishments may be more personal or focused inward this week.
This is not the week for procrastination, but we still may want to take things slow. Make a to-do list and chip away at it this week. You will glad you did by the weekend.
Monday 4/2
Moon in Scorpio
Starting the day off with the Moon in Scorpio, we could feel a heightened energy around how we are processing our feelings. This placement can be difficult for people who do not have a lot of Water energy in their charts as it forces a lot of what is lurking in the shadows to be acknowledged at this time. If we are someone who prefers to live in a comfort zone or bubble we have created for ourselves, this energy will force us out of it and into the darker parts of our minds. You need to face the darkness lurking in the shadows and give yourself an opportunity to work through whatever is needing healing and your attention at this time.
For those of us who tend to have an easier time with this energy, we may feel more inclined towards artistic expression, sexual energy, or something that feels healing and connects us to our deep self.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Sextile Mars in Capricorn 8:18AM
This is a positive transit in the morning as it gives us a lot of energy to accomplish things in the morning. Scorpio although ruled by Pluto is also ruled by Mars. So this placement allows for a lot of the Scorpio energy to be present on the physical front in a harmonious way. This is a morning for action.
Moon Sextile Saturn in Capricorn 8:19AM
This transit reinforces the action oriented energy on the physical front and is great for getting things sorted out with work or your physical body. Apply yourself this morning in an intentional way as there is a lot of potential to get a lot sorted and accomplished.
Mars in Capricorn Conjunct Saturn in Capricorn 8:44AM
With Mars and Saturn joining up in the AM in the sign of Capricorn we will feel a push and pull back effect. We may feel like we are pushing things forward and then met with potential road blocks. Mars pushes energy forward, Saturn stops it and creates boundaries, structures, or blocks. On the flip side this can be good for putting structures into place, but it might be harder if we are trying to reject or rebel against them. Try to use the structures in place already to push things forward rather than trying to rebel or avoid them. This is still great action packed energy to apply yourself in the physical, but we will still need to be patient and slower than we might want to be at first. All good things take time.
Moon Trine Neptune in Pisces 7:34PM
In the evening we may feel a slow down on the physical front and a pick up on the creative front. This energy is great for artists, writers, musicians, and poets. There is a potential for escapism in a negative way if you are having a rough day. You may be more inclined to alcohol or drugs as a means to cope with something which could be an unhealthy way to deal with this energy. Healthy ways to work through this energy would be focusing on your spiritual practice and expressing yourself creatively.
Tuesday 4/3
Moon Void of Course 9:06AM
Moon enters Sagittarius 11:55PM
With the Moon Void of Course for most of the day we could feel a bit off emotionally. It would be good to not put too much stock into how you are feeling and just go with the flow as much as you can. Try not to force anything and be patient. Once the Moon enters Sagittarius in the evening, we may be feeling our internal fire heat up and a need for change or expanding our view to new horizons may be amped up.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Sextile Pluto in Capricorn 7:09AM
This energy enhances our need for transformation on the physical front. It is positive energy for changing something or doing something different than we normally would in the morning but it can also feel ungrounding for those of who may be uncomfortable experiencing change. Just know through all changes comes growth and wisdom. These changes can be internal or physical.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio 9:06AM
We may feel in the morning like we are being emotionally called to deal with some inner demons. The Scorpio energy is at a high, and Jupiter asks us to expand on this and discover what shadows need acknowledging and healing, as well as where does transformation need to take place? For some this will be easy, for others this will be uncomfortable and emotionally gutting. Avoidance creates more anxiety and stress. When we lock things away that are traumatic that we do not want to deal with, it festers like an unattended wound and becomes infected. In order to heal our wounds we need to stop avoiding the trauma or pain. It is time to acknowledge layers of ourselves so that we can let go of past trauma, heal, and move on.
Do a Tarot reading or some journaling in the morning to help work through this energy.
Wednesday 4/4
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius has us wanting to expand our knowledge about matters that interest us. A lot of times around our beliefs and philosophies. We could find ourselves super talkative and passionate about sharing our current stance on things, or we could find ourselves more interested in learning about others and how they feel. Emotionally we also may feel an urge for freedom and like we want to go on a trip or do something not so mundane. If you are in a routine that can not be broken, maybe feed this energy by starting a new book or doing something new in your day you do not normally do. Even if it is just trying a new spot for lunch.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Mercury in Aries Square Mars in Capricorn 12:06AM
This makes communication aggressive and tense and can cause us having some issues around pushing things forward in our day. Through tension comes growth, so it is important to try and be mindful of how you express yourself.
There is more potential for accidents on this day so you will want to slow it way down.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself and be patient.
Moon Trine Mercury in Aries 5:51PM
This energy helps ease things a bit in the evening around communication a bit, but it will still cause a lot of intensity for us in the emotional. We will still want to be mindful to not fly off the handle or be too aggressive with expressing ourselves to others.
Thursday 4/5
Moon in Sagittarius
Our urge for freedom and expansion of knowledge continues but with the tension in the air we will want to remind ourselves that all good things take time. It is easy to want to know everything now, or want to push fast forward on life, but this life is so short already. You will look back on this time with nostalgia whether its bad or good, and remember that it made you who you are. You need to embrace the learning process and know that suffering, tension, and hardship creates wisdom.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Mercury in Aries Square Saturn in Capricorn 1:22AM
This is an early transit and we will feel it all day as well as the day previous and day after as it will build up and fade away over the week. Mercury is also retrograde so we may find more things going wrong in technology on a more physical level. Saturn blocks a lot on the physical and could have us having a very stop, go , stop kind of day.
Moon Square Neptune in Pisces 5:20AM
This energy won't stick around long, but if we are still sleeping it will enhance our dreams in the morning. Messages from your subconscious may come through more clearly and it would be positive to write down any dreams you have. Tension on the emotional front may be high and we will want to try and remain grounded in reality.
Moon Trine Sun in Aries 6:31AM
Things heat up later in the morning with this transit and we may feel a lot of urges to express ourselves and feel more connected to who we are on a personal level. You may feel more inclined to post some selfies on social media, or do something that feeds your ego. Let yourself love yourself.
Friday 4/6
Moon Void of Course 6:35AM
Moon enters Capricorn 11:01 AM
With the Moon entering Capricorn we may begin to feel a bit more grounded as the day progresses. We could also feel a bit more blocked emotionally which might be a welcomed break from some of the more intense emotional energy we felt early on in the week. Try to focus on getting a lot done in the physical and setting yourself up for a stress free weekend.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Trine Uranus in Aries 6:36AM
This enhances our need for expansion and freedom and an unexpected surprise could take place in the morning. Emotionally we may feel off kilter and like we want to go away for the weekend. Do something positive to feed this need for freedom by changing up your routine in the morning. If you have the day off, maybe go on a day trip somewhere and get out and experience nature.
Saturday 4/7
Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn all day we will feel like focusing on getting things done on the physical front and it will be emotionally rewarding. If you feel more inclined to procrastinate or avoid responsibility, you will feel anxiety about it later. If you do not have any responsibilities that call to you, than go spend time doing something physical with your body and connecting to the outdoors. This is great energy for going on a hike or doing physical activity. Get out of your head and into your body.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Trine Venus in Taurus 5:10 AM
This is a positive energy that enhances our need for connection to our bodies and nature in a positive way and early on in our day. We may be inclined to overspend or buy ourselves things over the weekend so be mindful with money, but also take time to enjoy yourself. Eat good food, be outside, get dressed up, enjoy yourself.
Moon Conjunct Saturn in Capricorn 5:19AM
With this conjunction we will need to embrace structures in place that we have created for ourselves in a positive way or we will need to put some into place in order to feel more positive about our lives. This could have to do with setting up a more positive structure with our daily routine around our finances, bodies, health, or home.
Make a goal list for areas of your life that could be structured differently to better serve you and give you a healthier life/work balance.
Venus in Taurus Trine Saturn in Capricorn 6:36AM
This is a great energy on the physical front for enjoying the physical. Once again there is a potential to over spend over the weekend and to enjoy the finer things in life. Gratitude and enjoying where you are at, who you are, and what you already have is a beneficial way to feel this energy this weekend. We should feel a lot of positivity over the physical this weekend.
Moon Conjunct Mars in Capricorn 10:41AM
Energy is amped up for wanting to do a lot in the physical and potentially needing to slow down. Try to do things methodically rather than rushed. Enjoy the process. Get things done but have an ease to it. You are more inclined to be impatient during the day.
Moon Sextile Neptune in Pisces 5:46PM
Dreamy, positive flow of energy as our hearts begin to come into the picture as the evening progresses. There is a potential for escapism in an unhealthy way so be mindful with over indulging in alcohol/ food/drugs. Try to enjoy yourself with music, maybe a good movie, or doing something romantic whether its by yourself for yourself or with a loved one.
Sunday 4/8
Moon Void of Course 7:40PM
Moon enters Aquarius 11:50PM
We will spend most of the morning still feeling a lot of the energy from Saturday. It is a good day to be outside in nature and doing physical activity. In the evening we will feel all of that slow down and we will be more inclined to have a relaxing night.
With the Moon entering Aquarius in the evening we may feel more detached and ready to unplug from our busy weekend.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 6:02AM
Our need for personal transformation in the physical is enhanced in the morning and we may feel more inclined to do something we normally don't do just to feed that need.
Moon Sextile Jupiter in Scorpio 7:14AM
This continues the need/want for personal transformation early on in our day and we would benefit from doing something that enables us to work on personal transformation in the physical and spiritual realms.
Moon Square Uranus in Aries 7:40PM
We may feel restless at the end of the day and like we are ready for a personal change. Ask yourself what pros and cons you are considering and maybe make a list or dream board on what you hope to manifest in the months or weeks to come.

Hi, I'm Brittany.
I am a creative photographer based out of Portland, OR. My first passion lies with creating fantastical images, but I have also been known to book a wedding or portrait session.
It all started the first time I picked up an old film camera freshman year of high school. There was something so magical about being able to capture a feeling or emotion on film, and then as if it were magic, seeing my images appear in the dark room exactly as I saw them.
Since then I've been obsessive about capturing wonderful and whimsical images. I love the magic that comes with creative photography and I am committed to sharing my love with you.
"I can not say enough good things about Brittany! We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and just loved them all. She is professional, fun, and creative. I would highly recommend her!"

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer
Just over a month removed from running the 103rd Indianapolis 500, Sage Karam will make his second NTT IndyCar Series start of the season with Carlin in the Honda Indy Toronto July 14.
The latest deal for Karam will mark the first time he'll run multiple races since his rookie season in 2015 and his first road race of any kind since Mid-Ohio in 2015.
Despite not having recent Indy car experience on road or street courses on his resume, he's thankful of having an opportunity to race in the sport once again.
"I want to thank everyone at Carlin for giving me the opportunity to compete in an Indy car again in the NTT IndyCar series. I'm extremely excited and grateful to get back behind the wheel on a road course again for the first time since 2015 and I'm thrilled to carry a great sponsor like SmartStop Self Storage on the side of the No. 31 Carlin Chevrolet," said Karam. "I'm looking forward to the challenge and working closely with everyone on the team to achieve a successful result and take advantage of this incredible opportunity."
Tuesday's announcement took place a few days after Patricio O'Ward, the regular driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet, announced he'll be competing Super Formula in Japan going forward. O'Ward will drive for Team Mugen, replacing the recently released Dan Ticktum.
Karam's sponsorship will be SmartStop Self Storage, a company that operates 131 self storage facilities throughout Toronto and the United States. It's a deal Trevor Carlin, Team Principal of Carlin, is excited about as the company are making their debut into the series.
"We are extremely excited to partner with SmartStop Self Storage and to be a part of their debut into the NTT IndyCar Series. The Honda Indy Toronto is such a great event and will be the perfect introduction for them into the series," said Carlin. "We've obviously been following Sage's career closely since he won the Indy Lights Championship in 2013 and he's done a really great job. I think he'll be a great addition to the team and a good teammate for Max (Chilton) this weekend."
In his last race, Karam drove for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, where he finished a lap down in 19th at Indianapolis. It marked his best result at the 2.5-mile circuit since finishing ninth in 2014.

A Different Slant on Cohorts: Perceptions of Professors and Special Education Doctoral Students
Unzueta, Caridad H.; Moores-Abdool, Whitney; Donet, Dolores Vazquez
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Miami, FL, Mar 1, 2008)
To improve student completion rates in higher education, faculty are using cohort educational models (CEM); however, very few studies were found regarding CEMs effects in educating culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) doctoral students in the field of special education. This study investigated two questions: (a) Are there differences for students in the doctoral experience when they are part of a cohort, as differentiated from not being part of a cohort? and (b) What motivates students to continue in a cohort doctoral program, as differentiated from those continuing independently? Participants included six CLD doctoral students (three in a CEM, three not in a CEM) and three professors (attending or serving as faculty at a Carnegie-designated research extensive university in a multicultural, urban area in the southeastern USA). Researchers included three CLD female special education doctoral students (two in a CEM, one not). The qualitative case study method was used to explore perceptions of cohorts, experiences, and the effects of cohorts on participants. Findings included: (a) organizational efficiency and benefits to student learning outweigh concerns; (b) the cohort structure definitely impacts students who are pursuing their doctoral degrees independently, (c) the cohort structure impacts professors. Non-CEM doctoral students perceived their educational experiences as being very different from that of CEM students. Benefits of a CEM included inter-student support, a flexible learning model, support for CLD learners, opportunities for building trusting relationships, ease in class scheduling, and opportunity for maturation. Presence of the cohort affected the non-CEM students and professors negatively in several ways. Although CEMs are strong mechanisms for supporting students, they call for an awareness of group cohesion within cohorts to effectively engage the students in the academic process to address the retention problem of doctoral students, decrease the disparity between CEM and non-CEM students, and improve graduate studies programs. Interview Protocol is appended. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)

THIS week, I want to share with you what we are doing to combat metal theft, which is on the rise across the UK. This may not seem to be an important issue for us in Brent, but it is. The borough has an extensive rail network and the theft of copper power cabling from the railways can cause massive disruption to trains.
These thefts can often prove fatal for the thieves, through electrocution or being hit by a train.
The theft of telecommunication cabling also causes massive disruption to homes and businesses, and the theft of lead from roofs of public buildings results in extensive repairs bills that need to be paid for from the public purse.
In Brent, we already regularly inspect our scrap metal dealers – with the help of the local authority – to ensure everything is above board.
We run covert automatic number plate recognition operations to stop and search cars and vans that are linked to metal theft.
We also screen every prisoner who comes into custody at Brent for SmartWater.
This is a unique invisible fluorescent forensic dye that can be applied to almost anything which might otherwise be unidentifiable.
Thieves who steal metal that has been marked with SmartWater become contaminated with it and light up like a Christmas tree when they come into custody and are illuminated by an ultraviolet lamp.
They are charged with the handling of the metal they thought was unidentifiable. For them, crime definitely does not pay.
In the last month, we have made arrests for thefts of beer kegs, gas cylinders, alloy wheels and cabling.
These arrests mostly arise from calls from the community when someone sees something that looks wrong.
It may be 'workmen' engaged on roadworks at night, people in a yard after the business has shut, or noise in a house under renovation at the weekend.
Two men were arrested last week and charged with theft of £3,000 worth of industrial batteries from roadworks and now they await trial.
All of your help means that, in Brent, we do well in relation to metal theft but a new tool has now been added to the police armoury.
On May 1, new legislation received royal assent which prohibited the purchase of scrap metal for cash by scrap metal dealers and imposed heavy fines for noncompliance.
This will ensure there will now be an audit trail for every sale of scrap metal in the UK and it makes it much harder for thieves to safely sell their ill-gotten gains – and easier for us to catch them.
If you see something that looks wrong or feels wrong, it probably is wrong. Please keep these calls coming. As ever, if you have any information on crime matters, we will act.
You can call us on Crimestoppers (0800 555 111), the UK-wide non-emergency number 101, or contact your local safer neighbourhood team via the Met Police website, www.met.police.co.uk.
In an emergency, call 999, and for daily updates and information about what is happening in Brent, you can follow us on Twitter at @MPSBrent. Thank you for your continued support.

I went out with a guy who once told me I didn't need to drink to make myself more fun to be around. I told him, I'm drinking so that you're more fun to be around.
Along with the 97 percent of women who can see, I have never been a fan of redheaded men.
I have no doubt that my mother's pregnancy with me was an accident. Mostly because on several occasions, she told me I was an accident.
My father has a high opinion of his opinion.
When I get married, I'm gonna register at Bank of America.

Meet the Female Freediver Breaking National Records in Egypt
Egypt is lucky to have the world's best freediving spots, yet most Egyptians are unaware of this spectacular sport! Egypt's four times national freediving champion, Raghda Ezzeldin Aly, is hoping to change this.
Gliding through a shimmering blue landscape where only your heartbeat is music; drifting past bright corals in every colour and over little-explored shipwrecks teaming with fish of all shapes and sizes – to a freediver, this silent, serene universe is the world's best kept secret and the epitome of freedom.
Despite Egypt having some of the world's most spectacular dive sites on its doorstep, few Egyptians know much about freediving; fewer still actually practice the sport. Unlike scuba diving, freediving needs no equipment and so divers have to hold their breath until they resurface. Dahab is the world's premier freediving destination, attracting the best freedivers from across the globe three times a year to compete in the RedCCup.
Raghda Ezzeldin Aly is the four time national freediving record-breaker and founder of Egypt Free Divers, which provides divers with connections to dive centres, suppliers, and instructors, organises training camps for certified divers, and fun trips for those looking to try the sport. A financial analyst by profession, she is passionate about raising awareness about freediving and for this reason, all trips are organised without profit in mind.
Ezzeldin has always loved the sea, and had been scuba diving for some time when she discovered freediving. "You have more freedom as a freediver," she tells us. 'For me, something felt off when scuba diving as I found the gear constraining." Describing her most memorable dive experience in Hurghada, she narrates how, without needing equipment, she just jumped off the boat in pursuit of a whale shark. "My friend dove in with his GoPro and I could just jump in too. We swam within inches of the shark – we have 35 minutes of footage!"
For me, something felt off when scuba diving - I found the gear constraining. You have more freedom as a freediver.
She explains how, in the same dive, they ran into a large group of dolphins. "Mammals freedive – dolphins need to come up for air every twenty minutes or so – so you are behaving as they do. Because dolphins echolocate, they can feel your heartbeat, but they also know that you are not breathing. This was very curious for them, and meant that they loved interacting with us – something that just doesn't really happen with scuba diving as the gear creates distance and can be off-putting."

Stories like these really show what a beautiful experience freediving can be, but holding your breath for so long may seem intimidating - or downright impossible - to those who haven't tried the sport. Ezzeldin assures us, however, that learning to freedive is wonderfully beneficial, and even relaxing. "Freediving is a fantastic way to keep fit," she tells us. "In fact, you gain a huge amount of muscle without really realising. But I'd say it is 70% a mental sport."
Because dolphins echolocate, they can feel your heartbeat, but they also know that you are not breathing. This was very curious for them, and meant that they loved interacting with us – something that just doesn't really happen with scuba diving as the gear creates distance and can be off-putting
Like yoga, freediving focuses on relaxation, breath, and body awareness. Divers start off learning to relax while floating so that they can hold their breath for longer, and as they gain confidence under water, the depth to which they go is gradually increased. Ezzeldin stresses that the sport requires no age, shape, or athletic background, only a desire to explore your physical and mental potential. "After two sessions, beginners are often surprised to find that they can hold their breath for two minutes and are diving up to 10 meters in depth!" Amazingly, Ezzeldin has only been freediving for a year, yet her static breath-hold time is a whopping 5 minutes 3 seconds. "If you fall in love with it, you can progress very quickly, not just in terms of depth or time, but in relaxation and enjoyment."
After two sessions, beginners are often surprised to find that they can hold their breath for two minutes and are diving up to 10 meters in depth
For those with more nervous dispositions, it's also good to know that many of the risks associated with scuba diving are either absent or significantly reduced. As freedivers don't breathe from a tank, decompression sickness can't occur if they surface quickly – definitely a good thing if you suspect you can't hold your breath much longer. And as freedivers will not be at great depth for long, oxygen narcosis is rare. (Photo credit: Taimour Othman)
Moving forward, Ezzeldin hopes to compete for the African continental record, which will require her to dive 15 meters deeper. Though she recognises that there can be some conflict between competition and the ego-dissolution that freediving promotes, she hails such events as fantastic opportunities to meet other interesting, like-minded people. Speaking to her, it's her passion for the sport that shines, and it's clear that nothing would make her happier than encouraging others to discover the beauty of freediving. "We limit ourselves," she concludes, " And I want to encourage people to explore their bodies and their minds to really see what we can do. The mind is limitless!"

Three day trips for beginners are in the region of EGP 1500-2000.

After two recent acquisitions, Arcil SA, based in Puiseux-Pontoise, France, has changed its name to Synerlink. Arcil remains the brand name for the company's form/fill/seal (f/f/s) lines that are manufactured in France.
"This name change was necessary following the recent acquisitions of Dinieper and Dairy Pack, and confirms our commitment to expanding our solutions and services in the fresh dairy market and beyond," explains Eric Lesbats, CEO of Synerlink. "Our will is that, relying on our trusted brand names, Synerlink will be recognized as the worldwide leader in integrated packaging lines."
Synerlink Iberica will be developing the Dairy Pack brand name through its production unit in Spain, and Dinieper, based in Brazil, will be renamed Synerlink Latin America in the future. Synerlink is part of the growing global capital equipment and engineering solutions leader Barry-Wehmiller.
As part of its portfolio, Synerlink offers several complementary packaging options for food brands. Arcil, Dinieper and Dairy Pack specialize in FFS machines with low-, medium-, and high-output capacities. Dosil's dosing modules can be integrated on any kind of line, and Aprium offers various end-of-line automated solutions (in-line sleeve application, product combination, grouping, overwrapping and case-packing).
Through these complementary areas of expertise, Synerlink effectively manages the engineering of complete packaging lines that can be adapted over time. With global service teams—located in France, the U.S., Brazil, China, and Russia—Synerlink also supports all after-sales activities, providing responsive service, multilingual technical assistance, a local supply of spare parts and retrofit services for pre-owned machines.

Two Mexican singing crows are starving and try to catch a grasshopper in this 1956 animated short from Merrie Melodies/Warner Bros. What could possibly go wrong? It's like a toon starring our hero Speedy Gonzales, Mexico's fastest mouse, except no Speedy. Substitute crows for gatos and a grasshopper for Speedy and you get the idea.
One IMDB reviewer had a plot of praise for this toon:
From its opening scenes, which contain a very pretty rendition of a popular Spanish tune adapted by composer Carl Stalling, to its satisfying conclusion, we have here a good example of the Warner cartoon "machine" operating at peak performance. The caricatures, as embodied in the crows, are charming while the humor is quite sophisticated, especially if one pays close attention to the dialog.
Mel Blanc was, of course, famous for his delightful Mexican accent (which he often used to good effect on the old Jack Benny program) and here, having to voice both characters, he manages to give each a wholly distinctive personality. The wry humor of Blanc complements well with that of the writers.
The animation is on the same high level as all other Warner cartoons, not as frenetic, perhaps, as some others but always solid. Friz Freleng's direction in spot-on for he creates, really creates, a slow, idyllic Mexican countryside with beautifully observed backgrounds and situations.
This one is well worth a look and I can unequivocally recommend it.

RRR is the prestigious film being filmed in Telugu right now. Mega Power Star Ram Charan and Jr NTR are playing the leads. This is Rajamouli's immediate movie right after the two-part project Baahubali.
Now, the interesting buzz states that the makers are going to rope in a Foreign model for the movie as there is a crucial role in the script. Apparently, the film is said to have a pre-independence era as a backdrop. Jr NTR who is a part of the freedom struggle is said to be in a relationship with the British governor's daughter.
The makers are going to shoot these scenes in the next schedule and by that time, they wanted to finalize the actress for the role.
As of now, there is no clarity on this development and we need to wait for the official confirmation.

ALBANY — When the State of New York approved the use of medical marijuana in 2014, the applicants to dispense the drug were vetted and reviewed by a panel of experts said to have deep backgrounds in several fields.
The identities of the panel's members had been a mystery since. By July 2015, the panel had chosen five companies that would receive exclusive statewide medical marijuana licenses, a potentially lucrative award in a state with nearly 20 million residents and hundreds of thousands of potential patients.
A September 2015 Freedom of Information request by The New York Times, seeking the names of the panel's members, was delayed nine times. On Friday, the request was effectively denied, as the department said that it did not "maintain records" or contact information for the panel.
On Monday, however, the department reversed course and disclosed the names of the panel's 17 evaluators: all state employees, most with little or no prior professional experience in medical marijuana.
They included a number of Health Department scientists as well as three architects, an accountant and an auditor. They were chosen for their specialties — including chemistry, internal…

Michael Avenatti steps in the ring to share his opinions on the Mueller testimony, the Democratic party's lack of movement on impeachment, and Don Jr. and his attempts to provoke him here at TVT.
Brian Shapiro jumps right into business asking about the Mueller case. "Let's start with the Mueller testimony, Michael," says Shapiro. "Before we get to all the ins and outs of what happened, overall, what was your take on the testimony?"
Well, I thought the testimony itself was good, but I thought the optics were terrible, frankly, and you know, any Democrat that tries to claim otherwise is delusional in my opinion and is fooling themselves," says Avenatti. "You know Bob Mueller was clearly not ready for prime time today. He looked confused. He was not prepared. He did not appear to be somebody that had actually read that report."
"Look, I don't know how it's possible," continues Avenatti. "I'm sure he had read the report but he certainly did not come across as somebody that had, or who had, read the report. In today's day and age, media matters, optics matter, social media really matters, and you gotta have somebody who's good on television, frankly, and someone who can speak in sound bites and can really deliver. He didn't deliver. He didn't deliver for either side. I thought he was terrible."
Avenatti goes on to ask if any of the Democrats that pushed for his testimonial had spoken to Bob Mueller in the last five years. If they had spent time with him recently, they would have known that Mueller should not testify. There were a number of things that the Democrats could have done including bringing others to testify or avoided the testimony altogether.
Shapiro plays a couple of sound bites from the Mueller testimony. He begins with representative Silvia Garcia who makes the point that nobody is above the law, not even President Donald Trump.
"If the President is not above the law, Michael, then why is there no accountability?", says Shapiro. "And now we're gonna get into, you know, maybe he can be charged with obstruction after his presidency, but she does make a very valid point there, doesn't she?"
"Well, she makes a valid point," says Avenatti. "She's correct, but a couple things. First of all, the rationale for not indicting the president is this memo, Department of Justice guidelines, there's no law, by the way, that states that you can't indict a sitting president. I wrote an op-ed last year for The New York Times where I argued that that does not control and that they should indict President Trump if the evidence indicated that he had committed a crime. I stand behind that."
Avenatti speaks further about the fact that Robert Mueller would not go beyond the report. He chose to answer some questions and not others which was very frustrating. He had the ability to answer directly and clear a lot of things up but he kept silent. Most concerning were questions like whether or not Don Jr. had plead the fifth? Was Don Jr. subpoenaed? Mueller refused to testify and nobody put pressure behind it.
"The idea that you were going to put all this emphasis and faith in Bob Mueller, you know, remember, the report was initially released on March 23 or 24," says Avenatti. "Here we are at the end of July, it took all this time to get this guy to come down and testify, and you know, at the end of the day, I thought it did more harm than good. They could have accomplished what they accomplished today, which was not much, through other means. I think this was a bad day for the Democrats."
The most important moment of the day was when Mueller was asked what he wanted the American people to take away from the report. Mueller gave an indirect answer full of "lawyer speak" and missed the opportunity to really say something. It was "the fast ball down the center of the plate" and Mueller struck out.
"I want to move ahead to the democratic response and Nancy Pelosi," says Shapiro. "So the Democrats' leadership, Schiff was there as well, and Pelosi starts the conversation and she's asked this question which is a very important question in regards to are you going to impeach the president? Michael, what do you make of that response?"
"Look, anybody that thinks that Nancy Pelosi is going to allow impeachment charges to proceed against President Trump at this point is delusional. It's never going to happen, it's now. Now I disagree with that. I think they should have started at the end of March. Okay, I'm adamant about that, but anybody that thinks that the Democratically controlled Congress is going to now pass impeachment charges against Trump is fooling themselves."
Avenatti goes further to say some really biting things about the Democratic party and Nancy Pelosi.
"Nancy Pelosi has no intention of moving against Donald Trump, and I will tell you, if Donald Trump is reelected in 2020, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership is going to rightfully be thrown out on their ass for not doing what they should have done," says Avenatti. "These people do not know how to practice politics in this day and age. They don't know how to fight, they're not fighters, they cave, and they're going to pay a very, very steep price, as they should, if he's reelected in 2020."
Shapiro steers the conversation in a completely new direction bringing up Don Jr. and the picture that he took with Avenatti's ex-wife. Don Jr. went "out of his way" to "poke the bear" by tweeting out the picture on social media. Shapiro presses for Avenatti's first reaction to the photograph of Don Jr. standing alongside his ex-wife.
"First of all, Biff has never accomplished anything in his life," says Avenatti. "He's never accomplished anything. I mean, other than being in the boardroom on The Apprentice on his daddy's show. I guess that's his greatest accomplishment. Seriously, this guy is a loser. He's an absolute criminal loser and he's never accomplished anything in his life. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a gold toilet under his ass, I've said that in the past. This guy has got big time daddy issues cause daddy's always loved Ivanka more than anybody. There's a long history of Trump having no respect for his son. I think he has openly described the fact that Trump Jr. has the worst judgement of anyone in the world. This is a guy who has been trying to fall in the footsteps of other men his entire life, right?"
Avenatti says that Biff would never go "toe-to-toe" with him and Shapiro exclaims in the background, "Let's offer that! Let's offer that!"
"He's a complete coward," states Avenatti. "The guy's been a coward his entire life."
"What do you think it would take to get you and him in the ring?" asks Shapiro. "I'm talking about not on this show 'in the ring,' I'm talking about physically, you and him, some sort of boxing match, you think we can make that happen?"
"Look, I'm in, you just let me know when and where we can do it," says Avenatti. "All the proceeds for charity. In fact, I think we should do it here in Vegas on Christmas Eve. I think that we would raise a lot of money because I think everyone on the right would want to watch me get my butt kicked and everyone on the left would want to watch him get his butt kicked. I think it'd be a lot of fun and we'd raise millions of dollars for charity."

HS FOOTBALL: Griswold takes DIII crown; Plainfield gets playoff spot
PLAINFIELD – The dominance continued for the Griswold Wolverines.
For the 15th time in 16 Thanksgiving meetings, the Wolverines walked away with a victory over Plainfield, 13-6, on Wednesday night in Central Village.
But, in a sense, both teams won.
The win gave Griswold the Eastern Connecticut Conference Division III championship.
"It's always nice," Wolverines coach Gregg Wilcox said. "We didn't have a great game, made a ton of mistakes. But we persevered and came out on top."
It didn't knock the Panthers out of the Class S playoffs.
The Panthers, by virtue of a 14-12 Woodland Regional over Seymour Wednesday, will be the No. 8 seed and will play at either Bullard Havens Tech or Ansonia in a quarterfinal game at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
Ansonia will be the top seed if the Chargers down Naugatuck today.
It's the first playoff game for the Panthers since 1999 when they lost to Bloomfield.
"It's amazing. It feels great," said Plainfield junior Lucien Dube of the continued season for the Panthers.
On Tuesday, the game was moved to Thanksgiving Eve in anticipation of possibly the coldest Thanksgiving on record in the area.
It wasn't much better on Wednesday.
The two teams were greeted by a heavy snow squall prior to the game and by falling temperatures and increasing wind during it.
Plainfield struggled in the first half, but made it interesting to open the second.
Lucien Dube, who has been Plainfield's "Mr. Excitement" this season, injected some much needed adrenaline into the Panther sideline.
On the first play from scrimmage, the junior slipped a tackle and ran through the Griswold defense for a 55-yard touchdown.
His extra-point went wide, however, and the Wolverines clung to a 1-point lead.
That lead, however, appeared in jeopardy when Koziel attempted to go long, as he did in the first half with success, and the ball was picked by Dube.
The Panthers turned over the ball on downs at the Griswold 29, but the Wolverines (6-4) gave it right back on a fumble.
The Panthers (8-2) failed to movc the ball a yard and turned it over on downs.
The Wolverines added a little insurance when Koziel (8-for-16, 147 yards) found Matt Deponte for a 22–yard touchdown.
Griswold dominated the first half.
The Wolverines (6-4) held the Panthers to 26 yards rushing in the first half and only one first down.
"Last year, we had the line. This year, (Griswold) returned everyone but one. We knew coming in that we had to grind out three and four yards. We did at some points, but other times, we just couldn't get that push and help open things up for the pass," said Plainfield senior Kyle Holt (17 carries, 36 yards)
Griswold didn't do much better in the running department.
It was held to just 58 yards on the ground.
But Griswold quarterback Andrew Koziel made up for it through the air.
"I wasn't expecting to (have to throw). I thought coming in that we could run against (Plainfield), but we didn't get the chance to so I had to throw," Koziel said.
The Wolverines and Panthers exchanged punts to start the game with Griswold getting the ball back on their own 30.
Koziel found C.J. Mattson on a quick out that netted 17 yards and then scampered on his own for another 18.
After Michael Sims was stopped at the line of scrimmage, Koziel found Mattson on another quick out to the Panthers 41.
Koziel then went up top when Chris Thibodeau behind the Plainfield defensive secondary.
Thibodeau took the ball to the Panthers 1-yard line.
One play later, Koziel took the ball over center for the touchdown sneak.
Griswold forced Plainfield to punt and then Koziel went back to work.
He, once again, found Thibodeau over the top for a 27-yard completion to the Panther 29.
Griswold ran the ball five times to the Plainfield 1-yard line, but a Wildcat snap on third-and-goal went over Thibodeau's head and he fell on it at the nine. Koziel threw on fourth down, but his pass was knocked down in the end zone.
Another Griswold drive late in the first half ended with a fumble on the Plainfield 30.
"Hats off to them, it was a great win for them," Plainfield coach Pat Smith said. "I think anyone on that field will tell you that it was a game. They didn't come in and dominate us. It was a great football game and we were on the other end of it."

As companies work to adapt to a fast-changing business environment and increasingly complex technology landscape, leaders are taking a closer look at their enterprise architecture strategy to ensure their IT portfolio supports strategic business objectives. Done well, a strong enterprise architecture provides the foundation that enables companies to be more agile, scale new innovations quickly and securely, and ultimately deliver greater value to customers.
Creating a solid enterprise architecture strategy can help take product development organizations to the next level by providing the technological runway they need to create seamless customer experiences and respond quickly to market needs. Inside many organizations, however, we often find that enterprise architecture has not reached the level of maturity needed to deliver on those promises. Often, employees rely on patches and workarounds to get data from one system to another, time that could be spent working on product and system enhancements. In other cases, existing technology architectures no longer align with strategic business objectives. One of the main problems stemming from this lack of alignment is that it limits the capacity to create efficiencies and synergies that support business goals. It can also hamper business agility by making it more difficult to create and share relevant data and insights across the organization.
To overcome these challenges, firms need an enterprise architecture strategy that can adapt to changing market demands. That requires making EA an ongoing and evolving part of any digital transformation initiative.
Defining Enterprise Architecture
At its core, enterprise architecture refers to the configuration of IT resources in service of an organization's business strategy. It creates alignment among a company's strategic goals, its existing business processes, the data and information created, and the underlying infrastructure that supports it. It forms a blueprint of sorts, noting not only what technology the company currently has, but also how future technology investments will fit into or change what currently exists.
There are four main components of the EA:
- business architecture,
- data architecture,
- application architecture,
- and technology and infrastructure architecture.
We will explore each of these later in the article. These components cascade down from one another, each serving a different purpose (see image).
Having a clear EA does not magically solve business operations issues, nor does it enable a company to generate insights with a single tool. What it does is create vertical alignment of the business and functional objectives, foster collaboration between functions, and help create synergies based on data.
Why invest in your company's Enterprise Architecture?
For many companies, the Enterprise Architecture is an afterthought, something only relevant to the architect who needs to give his or her sign-off during product feasibility meetings. But as mentioned above, the EA needs a seat at the table throughout the process to share guidelines and strategies with product development and IT teams that enable key growth levers. Among the reasons a clear EA is essential:
- It can provide a consistent experience, both from an employee and customer perspective. Designing an end-to-end enterprise architecture enables omnichannel integration, which can be translated into a more seamless customer journey.
- It enables the use of new technologies and simplifies integration. A well defined enterprise architecture streamlines the process for introducing cloud, automation, and the use of APIs, among other technologies. It helps drive a common platform and infrastructure that development teams can use to create products and services aligned to business objectives.
- It enables agility and flexibility to functions that use data to inform their decision-making. By aligning the data generated by the company and the tools used to collect that data, it becomes easier to automatically join, clean, and share data sets that enable supply chain, marketing, and operations teams to make decisions aligned to business goals.
Developing your EA strategy
There are four key components of any enterprise architecture strategy:
- Business architecture includes strategic business goals that will guide all efforts.
- Data architecture helps organizations understand what information each business function needs.
- Application architecture determines how to create, connect and provide data to those functions.
- Technology and infrastructure architecture encompass cloud services, security, and other tools that enable business applications to run effectively.
Business architecture
The first step in creating an enterprise architecture strategy is understanding the overall business outcomes an organization wants to achieve. The Objectives, Goals, Tactics & Metrics (OGTM) framework provides a useful framework for aligning business goals to the mission and vision of the organization, then tying those goals to specific operational tactics. You can read more about the OGTM framework here.
Once there is clarity about the organization's path and desired outcomes, it is important to partner with business functions to help each understand their role in the company's strategy. Conversations with functional leaders should focus on objectives, roadmaps and blockers, the functional leader's needs, and which technologies support and enable their goals.
Data architecture
Discussions with functional leaders should also include how they use data to influence their processes and decisions. This creates a bridge between business strategy and data strategy and leads to understanding about how data will flow across and within the organization. In the age of artificial intelligence, it is important to discuss and set a direction for the use of tools and structures that enable the use of algorithms, automation, machine learning and eventually AI.
Application architecture
With an understanding of the overall strategy and functional objectives, as well as the data needed to execute business processes, technology leaders can determine the tools and applications that will best help the organization achieve its goals.
These tools may be internal, such as an employee lifecycle management tool. At the center may be an application that includes an employee's personal information and is connected to recruitment and onboarding tools. That data may also connect to a learning management system (LMS) to track training and employee growth paths. Connecting all of these applications can, for example, allow HR team can generate valuable insights used by the management teams.
Applications may also be external, directly related to customer-facing products or digital channels. Say a financial services firm sells an application to help bank branches process customer transactions. If the firm also offers related products, such as mobile or web banking or fraud detection products, it is important that the different products work seamlessly and appear as a single system to the end user. A single application architecture can help influence requirements for user experience, product development, and operations teams.
When creating an application architecture, it is also important to understand the role that Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, play within the business. APIs are the building blocks that ensure all systems can communicate and share data effectively. This is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, aspects of the product development process that needs to be addressed by your EA strategy.
Technology and Infrastructure architecture
Organizations first should assess whether the company has all of the technological components necessary to support the business tools and applications. This includes hardware and software that will enable these tools to be deployed, such as on-premise servers or cloud storage, networking, and security. When thinking through technology architecture, it is critical to consider how infrastructure will affect the organization's agility and ability to grow.
Common challenges when establishing an Enterprise Architecture Strategy
There are different risks and challenges associated with the creation of an enterprise architecture strategy. Due to how quickly technology changes, it is very easy for systems, applications, and even entire methodologies to become obsolete in a short period of time. Combined with an inclination to go after the latest trend, it is particularly easy for the EA model to become outdated or to have changed by the time a standard version is in place. In this scenario, enterprise architects constantly play catch up and the strategy fails to deliver its real value.
Similarly, business teams may perceive architects as people sitting in an ivory tower, not tied to the reality developers face. As a result, developers may not see the value in creating documentation. Technology leaders, then, must constantly communicate the strategic importance of enterprise architecture in achieving both short-term and long-term business goals, and drive operational accountability for documentation across the organization.
Operationalizing the Enterprise Architecture Strategy
With a clear understanding of the business objectives, as well as the data, applications, and infrastructure that will help a company achieve its goals, technology leaders can create a roadmap for transforming the organization. That includes thinking through which frameworks and tools may be used to implement the new enterprise architecture. There are a number of EA management tools in the market that you can use to map all business capabilities to the strategy, as well as to the logical and physical infrastructure. Depending on an organization's maturity, leaders may also opt to have more informal plans and architecture mapping, but it's worth noting that this may inhibit the speed and effectiveness of implementation.
At the same time, it is important to frame EA as a light tool rather than an onerous process that only delivers documentation. When creating or improving an enterprise architecture, leaders should think through how EA teams will continue to add value by enabling new product development and creating new opportunities for innovation at scale.
Creating a comprehensive EA strategy is not a linear process, and it takes time and many conversations to go from an idea to full execution. The journey does not stop once the EA has been implemented, but rather is an iterative process that will change and mature over time as technology evolves and priorities shift.

WASHINGTON — Children have welcomed the Harry Potter books in recent years like free ice cream in the cafeteria, but the largest survey ever of youthful reading in the United States will reveal today that none of J.K. Rowling's phenomenally popular books has been able to dislodge the works of longtime favorites Dr. Seuss, E.B. White, Judy Blume, S.E. Hinton and Harper Lee as the most read.
Books by the well-known U.S. authors, plus lesser-known Laura Numeroff, Katherine Paterson and Gary Paulsen, drew the most readers at every grade level in a study of 78.5 million books read by more than 3 million children who logged on to the Renaissance Learning Web site to take quizzes on books they read last year.
Many works from Rowling's Potter series turned up in the top 20, but other authors also ranked high.
"I find it reassuring ... that students are still reading the classics I read as a child," said Roy Truby, a senior vice president for Renaissance.

Martha had received its final full-scale professional performances in Scotland a few seasons earlier, thanks to Sadler's Wells, but it seems to have lost popularity, at least with the critics. They seem to have decided that charm, naivety and simple melody were not enough. The under-rehearsed, scrappy playing of the SNO clearly didn't help. Perhaps the second work in the week, Verdi's Macbeth, provided the red meat that was now required.
Cast details are from the review in the Glasgow Herald.
