We know we’ve got big hearts here at Dialogue, but 2018 gave us the chance to prove it as we teamed up with Norfolk charity Nelson’s Journey.
Nelson’s Journey is a charity that supports children and young people living in Norfolk who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life. The charity approached Dialogue at the end of 2017 with a challenge – join the Twenty20 campaign alongside 19 other local companies and raise £20,000 (£1,000 each) to fund a Child Bereavement Support Worker for a year.
Not content with just reaching the target, Dialogue’s Agency Director Zoe Francis-Cox set us a different task – split into four teams and raise £1,000 per team.
“When Nelson’s Journey announced its Twenty20 initiative last year, there was no question Dialogue wanted to be part of it and support this fabulous Norfolk charity,” said Zoe. “I was kind to the team by only quadrupling the target – I knew they would smash it… and they did! The enthusiasm, creativity and sheer determination of everyone in the agency was outstanding and I’m super proud of every penny of the £6,026 we raised.”
On your bike!
2018 dawned and the challenge began. Striking success early, Team 122 (so named due to the 122-mile distance between Dialogue’s Norwich and London offices) organised a static bike ride in February, aiming to cycle 122 miles between them in one day.
Local company Pedal Revolution kindly donated a static bike to the cause, while the London team members hit their local gym to get the pedals pumping! Team leader Jessica Bennett said: “I thought we had a good chance of getting £1,000 in one go with a big challenge like this. The bike is able to replicate hills, so it was incredibly hard work at times! But we got there and became the first team to reach our target!”
The team was also able to take advantage of the Archant Gold scheme, where Archant matches the money raised for charitable causes, which doubled Team 122’s total to more then £2,000.
Going for gold
Elsewhere, Lucy Bendall’s team (‘The Benders’) were busy selling scratch cards to generate some cash, but also enjoyed fundraising success by getting active. Lucy cycled from London to Brighton in June while team member Claire Price ran the City of Norwich half marathon in April.
Sitting comfortably on £550 by the end of June, the team applied for Archant Gold matched funding, meaning The Benders also smashed their target.
Lucy said: “We started by arranging a raffle prize draw at Christmas 2017, which was received very well. Archant Gold is an extremely beneficial scheme in which the company has matched everything the team has raised.”
A long walk home
Taking a somewhat less healthy approach (but no less successful) was Horatio’s Crew. They joined forces with Krispy Kreme to sell delicious doughnuts to the hungry office.
Team member Claire O’Sullivan also used her sewing skills to offer clothing alterations, readjusting jeans, dresses and even a jumpsuit over the course of the year.
And, to work off all those doughnuts, Horatio’s Crew went on an epic 35.7-mile walk along the Norfolk coast from Cromer Pier to Britannia Pier, Great Yarmouth, which took 14 hours and 20 minutes.
James Boyle, who took part in the walk, said: “The walk took longer than we anticipated. Stopping at Walcott for chips and a cup of tea was humbling. The owners at Kingfisher Café not only gave us our drinks for free, they also donated £10 towards the walk. Those chips tasted so good!”
Buckets at the ready
Finally, the Fundercats team had a slow and steady approach to fundraising, holding monthly car washes at Dialogue HQ all year.
Team leader Elle Watson said: “The Fundercats car washes went down a storm! With customers from HR, Dialogue and Accounts among other departments, the jokes came thick and fast as the team worked. We try not to mention the time we nearly lost a car when someone forgot to put the handbrake on properly… and when a certain member of the team took charge of the pressure washer with gusto, soaking everyone in the process!”
Thanks to their efforts, the car park has been full of shiny machines all year round!
After Dialogue’s year of fundraising, Nelson’s Journey said: “We are completely overwhelmed with your fundraising efforts over the past 12 months and cannot believe that [the Twenty20 businesses] raised an incredible £55,000! Not only have you all absolutely smashed your joint goal of £20,000, but you’ve also helped raise awareness of our work. We are so grateful for your support and the incredible impact that the 20 businesses coming together can make for bereaved children and young people locally.”

April is Heartworm Awareness Month, and at Bark Avenue Daycamp, we want to ensure our dog boarding, dog training, doggie daycamp, and dog grooming clients are aware of what heartworm disease is, what the warning symptoms are, and how to test for, how to treat and prevent heartworm disease in their dogs and puppies.
What is Heartworm Disease?
Heartworm, also known as Dirofilaria, is a serious and potentially fatal disease found in the hearts of dogs. And dirofilaria immitis is a large worm that causes heartworm disease. The heartworm’s life cycle can take 6-7 months to complete, at which time the worm can reach up to a foot in length. The American Heartworm Society has published a video on YouTube that covers the Heartworm life cycle in great detail. At the end of the life cycle, the heartworm can live for several more years in the heart and pulmonary vessels, where it clogs the heart causing less blood to push out to the rest of the body which can lead to heart failure.
How Dogs Get Infected With Heartworms
Mosquitoes are the main carrier of heartworm disease. A single bite of an infected mosquito carrying the parasitic worm, dirofilaria immitis, can put your dog at risk for developing heartworm disease. It is not spread directly from dog to dog.
The Effects of Heartworms on a Dog
Heartworm disease can clog the heart and major blood vessels leading from the heart, including the pulmonary artery, also interfering with the function of the heart’s valves. With the obstruction of blood flow, the clogging of main blood vessels to organs is reduced, particularly the lungs, liver, and kidneys – causing these vital organs to malfunction. Signs of heartworm disease depend on the number of adult worms present, the location of the worms, the length of time the worms have been present in the dog, and the degree of damage that has been sustained by the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.
Warning Symptoms of Heartworm Disease
Heartworm disease in dogs can be a silent killer because it can take months before your dog shows symptoms. In the early stages of infection, most dogs show little to no symptoms at all; as the disease progresses, the more likely symptoms will develop. At Bark Avenue, we monitor our dog daycare and kennel boarding clients for any abnormal symptoms that could be a sign of possible underlying disease or sickness, and we ensure to report those concerns to our dog owners.
Even if your dog is on preventative heartworm medication, it’s still important to recognize the signs of this disease, so you can seek treatment as soon as possible in the unlikely event that your dog gets heartworm.
According to the FDA, there are four stages of heartworm disease, and symptoms appear differently in each stage:
- Class 1: No symptoms or mild symptoms such as an occasional cough.
- Class 2: Mild to moderate symptoms such as an occasional cough and tiredness after moderate activity.
- Class 3: More severe symptoms such as a sickly appearance, a persistent cough, and tiredness after mild activity. Trouble breathing and signs of heart failure are common. For class 2 and 3 heartworm disease, and heart and lung changes are usually seen on chest X-rays.
- Class 4: Also called Caval syndrome. There is such a heavy worm burden that blood flowing back to the heart is physically blocked by a large mass of worms. Caval syndrome is life-threatening and quick surgical removal of the heartworms is the only treatment option. The surgery is risky, and even with surgery, most dogs with caval syndrome are fatal.
Diagnosing Heartworm Disease
In most cases, one or more simple blood tests will diagnose heartworm disease, which detect antigens produced by the adult female heartworm. This is why testing usually starts around 7 months of age. Further diagnostic tests are often required in heartworm-positive dogs to determine if the dog can safely undergo heartworm disease treatment. Some or all of the following diagnostic procedures are recommended before treatment is started:
- Bloodwork (complete blood cell count, serum biochemistry). Blood tests may also be recommended prior to the treatment of heartworm disease, in order to assess for the presence of heartworm-associated organ damage.
- Serological test for antigens to adult heartworms (antigen test, ELISA). This test is performed on a blood sample. It is the most widely used test because it detects antigens (proteins) produced by adult heartworms.
- Radiographs (X-rays). Radiographs are often recommended in dogs with heartworm disease, to assess the extent of heart and lung damage present prior to beginning treatment.
- Echocardiography. An ultrasonic examination is used to see into the heart chambers and even visualize heartworms.
When To Test a Dog for Heartworms
Dogs should be routinely tested for heartworms during preventative vet visits. Puppies under the age of 6 months can receive their first heartworm prevention medication, without undergoing a heartworm test, since it takes 6 months for a dog to test positive for heartworms after its been infected. However, you should take your puppy to receive heartworm testing again 6 months afterward, then once a year to guarantee they continue to test negative for heartworms.
Adult dogs over the age of 6 months who haven’t taken preventative medication should be tested for heartworms, before beginning a year-round preventative regimen, then testing again six months later, then once a year to guarantee continued negative tests for heartworms.
Preventing Your Dog from Getting Heartworms
Make sure you are taking your dog to the vet for regular checks ups at least once every year. Your vet will be able to perform a full physical and check for signs and symptoms of heartworms. If you are looking for dog care near me and are in need of a veterinarian in the Bartlett, Illinois area, you can check out our list of recommended Animal Hospitals.
You will want to use preventative heartworm medication that is provided by your veterinarian that will ward off and kill heartworm larvae if it ends up infecting your dog.
It is essential to keep your dog on a year-round administration of heartworm prevention medication. There are many options, not only used for prevention but are also effective against other parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, fleas, and tapeworms. Here is a list of some common heartworm prevention medications:

Posted Jan 22, 2013
By now, those who have made New Year’s resolutions have completed their lists.
And chances are topping the lists are the usual suspects — get healthier, go to the gym, quit smoking.
Those resolutions are worth keeping — they are among healthy lifestyle choices that just might avert a cancer diagnosis.
Guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention stress the importance of healthy behaviors, according to the American Cancer Society. Approximately half of all cancer deaths are preventable if health is made a top lifestyle priority, a news release from the ACS states.
The ACS recommends the following four healthy lifestyle choices for reducing cancer risk:
1. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life.
2. Adopt a physically active lifestyle with at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise activity each week.
3. Consume a healthy diet, with an emphasis on eating at least 2.5 cups of vegetables and fruits each day.
4. Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages to no more than one drink per day for women or two per day for men.
Dr. Nelida Sjak-Shie, a hematologist/oncologist with Mercy Clinic, said she has found that people living in Fort Smith and the surrounding area aren’t making the strides with healthy lifestyle choices that other areas of the country have.
“Fort Smith has a lot of cancer,” said Sjak-Shie, who attended medical school at Washington University in St. Louis before completing her internal medicine residency at the University of Florida and her hematology/oncology fellowship at the University of California-Los Angeles. “A shocking amount for cancer, I must say.”
What Sjak-Shie calls the “obesity epidemic” has contributed greatly to the number of cancer diagnoses.
“Obesity increases the risk for some cancers and is associated with much higher risk for certain cancers,” explained Sjak-Shie, noting cancer of the breast, colon and rectum as a few of those.
Making those healthy lifestyle choices isn’t as easy as it sounds sometimes, Sjak-Shie admits.
“Eating a diet high in fiber and low in fat, especially saturated fat, isn’t easy,” Sjak-Shie said. “You have to train yourself. And it starts early. Kids don’t miss something you don’t have.”
Exercise, even for those already receiving a cancer diagnosis and on chemotherapy treatments, can lead to better outcomes and better quality of life, she added.
Smoking is another lifestyle choice that greatly contributes to cancer, especially lung cancer.
Sjak-Shie said she saw a patient recently who smoked an average of five packs a day and another smoker who started as young as 8 years old — both were new records for Sjak-Shie in her practice.
“It’s difficult to change such an addictive habit,” she said. “But you get only one body, and you’ve got to treat it well because you can’t replace it.
“All you can do in life is stack the deck in your favor,” Sjak-Shie added.
Avoiding tobacco products altogether is one of the most important steps to a healthier body, according to the ACS, with tobacco remaining as the single largest preventable cause of cancer and premature death in the country. Quitting smoking can add up to 10 valuable years to a person’s life.
Lia Chapman of Fort Smith has added those 10 years to her life and is stacking the deck in her favor.
As her grandmother, Verna Johnson, lay dying from oral cancer that had spread to her organs, Chapman promised her “Nonnie” she would quit her 17-year-habit.
“I was holding her hand and I promised her I would change my life,” Chapman, 39, the married mother of three, said during a phone interview. “It took me a while to do it, but I did it.”
After her grandmother was diagnosed with oral cancer because of smoking, Johnson underwent surgery and then treatments.
“She had a sore in her mouth that wouldn’t go away,” Chapman explained of her Nonnie’s cancer diagnosis. “She had part of her cheek, tongue and jaw bone removed and was permanently disfigured from the surgery to remove the cancer from her face and jaw. She made it through all the radiation.
“We really thought she had beat it,” she added. “But she didn’t; it came back.”
After five years in remission, Johnson started feeling bad the summer of 2002 and discovered the cancer had returned and spread throughout her organs. Johnson died just after Christmas in 2002.
After several years of attempting to quit smoking, Chapman finally kicked the habit in the spring of 2007.
Since that time, she’s become an avid runner, and now cycles and swims on a regular basis. She has lost 60 pounds, competes in triathlons and has run 24 marathons.
“Every race I run is for Nonnie,” Chapman said.
Chapman also is an encouragement and inspiration for those around her. She leads a group of runners at her workplace and tries to set an example with her meals in the Golden Living dining center.
“I take the stairs at work and make good food choices,” she said. “I’m showing I can make that choice every day.
“People are getting out the door; that’s what counts,” Chapman added.

Lake Akakul - the opportunity to visit the resort
Lake Akakul is considered one of the most popularplaces for rest. To its shores come tourists with tents, as well as hundreds of guests who stop at numerous recreation centers, health centers and boarding houses.
Description of the area
Lake Akakul is a picturesque pond, on thea mirror canvas of which islands of different sizes are adorned. They grow birches, pine and lime trees. The lake itself is surrounded by a mixed forest. The banks were partly overgrown with reeds, water lilies and reeds. The bottom on the lake is different: somewhere it is muddy, there are pebble beaches, there are also a few sandy areas, there are also algae. There are stony banks with large boulders. The water on the lake is transparent and fresh.
Akakul refers to sewage. The supply of the lake is possible due to the tributaries and the system of bogs. From it, water flows into Ulagach (a lake that is located on the east side). To the west of the lake there flows a river with no name, from which the Great Shark lake feeds.
The area of the pond is about 10 km2. The maximum width is 3 km, and the length of the lake is 4.8 km. The average depth is 4.5 meters, and the maximum depth is almost 10 meters.
Lake Akakul is located in the lake area, namelyso many people call the Chelyabinsk region, because there are about a thousand bodies of water. From Chelyabinsk the lake is at a distance of 85 km. In 7 km from it settled the city of Kyshtym. Also close is the city of Argayash and the village. New Year.
Many people like to spend time on the lake,Since here on the shore there are no large residential settlements, this makes it possible to relax from everyday vanity. The whole infrastructure of the area: recreation centers, boarding houses, camps. On the southern and northern shores there are several health and entertainment complexes. In addition, there is a water pump, a subsidiary farm, stone quarries. On the northwestern shore, swampy places and reed thickets prevail.
In the summer, there are manytents. They are installed in all sorts of places, especially busy areas near places for bathing. It can be noted that there are practically no comfortable sandy beaches.
Rest on the lake
As already mentioned, many prefer rest with tents. But at the same time, numerous holiday homes are also not empty. Among such places there are accessible, comfortable and at the same time inexpensive bases.
Lake Akakul is also rich in children's camps, which have access to the lake and to the forest. The territory is equipped for a fun and active holiday, so children love to come here.
Beaches belonging to the bases and boarding houses,equipped with toilets, benches, barbecue zones, sun beds and urns. There are parking lots for cars. If a person lives in his tent, you can go to an equipped beach for an additional fee. In addition, in some places it is possible to rent a boat or catamaran.
Rest on the lake Akakul does not seem dull,because there are restaurants, cafes and bars. Delicious lunches are served here, which allows you to completely escape from all domestic chores and not fuss over the stove. If it is necessary to note an important event, cafes and restaurants offer their services. Visiting Akakul, you do not have to worry about your safety, because on the shore of each boarding house has its own rescue service, which closely watches what is happening on the water.
Any base on Lake Akakul offers decent comfortable rooms, which can be rented for several days or even for a day.
Fans of fishing, too, will not be bored, becausein the lake there are pike, bream, perch, tench, chibak, whitefish, roach and other fish. But it is still believed that Akakul is more suitable for bathing and rest than for fishing. To catch a fish, many are sent to neighboring lakes.
The charm of winter recreation on the lake
Lake Akakul takes guests in both summer and winter. At this time, mini-hotels and boarding houses are equally welcome to the visitors and assure them that they will not be bored. Here you can rent snowmobiles, sledges or skis and plenty to roll around. After such an active holiday, it is worth to visit a Russian bath with birch twigs.
Many, coming in the winter, combine rest with fishing. Even at this time of year, no one remains without a catch.
Vacation with children
Many families come to the lake with their children. Almost every recreation center has in its territory places intended for children. It can be sports and entertainment towns or game rooms with many toys. Some sanatoria regularly organize events for children with competitions and prizes.
Akakul Lake: reviews of tourists
Given the favorable features of the lake, manymore than once came here to rest and managed to make their impression. Almost all admire the lake. It is unusual, because it is decorated with islands with trees. There are also picturesque beaches, which can be severely cut off. But still there are a lot of bases, camps, boarding houses and sanatoriums with their gently sloping beaches cleared of algae.
In the summer, you can find blueberries in the forest andcranberries, also there are mushrooms. But the feedback from many shows that in recent years, due to the influx of uncultured vacationers living in tents, the free coastal zone is full of garbage. Therefore, those who fell in love with Akakul, try to settle in the recreation center, where owners are watching to ensure that their territory remains well-groomed and clean.
In addition, many fishermen say that the catch is not rich, so when you come here to catch fish, you should definitely choose the right time so as not to waste a few hours.

text: The police chief and the mayor should be embarrassed by the complete overreaction by police to the Aug. 7 incident at the Criterion movie theater. At a press conference, they commented that Sung-Ho Hwang wasn't charged with a weapons violation, but the mayor continued that Hwang taking a gun into the theater may be legal, but not right. Illegal immigration isn't legal or right, but that hasn't stopped the mayor from allowing New Haven to be a sanctuary city. The mayor needs to get educated more about gun laws. Connecticut is an open-carry state. We already have gun registry because every retailer, following a sale to a valid permit holder, must notify the police chief of the jurisdiction in which the gun owner resides. Hwang should display a gun permit on his belt next to his gun to quell the fears of a public that's become highly sensitized following the Aurora, Colo., and Wisconsin tragedies. Were the police, pumped on adrenalin, shouting multiple orders at the same time to people in the theater? Was there mass confusion in the dark theater as to who was pointing guns at people? Hwang's gun was holstered, so he wasn't breaching anyone's peace.

""Listen to this," Ole Golly said and got that quote look on her face....
"What does that mean?" Harriet asked after she had been quiet a minute.
"What do you think it means?"
"Well, maybe if you love everything... then... then - I guess you'll know everything... then.... seems like... you love everything more. I don't know. Well, that's about it."
Spoiler - Free Portion
So my birthday's on sunday - can't wait to see what you all are going to get me.
I'm so hyped
Anyway, while I'm waiting to turn another shade of 20's, I thought I'd get to writing this out while I wait for that Gyro to digest in my tummy. Mmm. Lamb meat.
I had to read this for my childrens' lit class - and I'm glad I HAD to read this, because I may not had the urge to read this, due to my only knowledge of this book being the godawful Nickelodeon travesty that turned the whole book into a giant dramatic thing. Oh, and the straight-laced Ole Golly was played by a wuvvable Rosie O'Donnell.
So yeah, my childrens' lit class was actually the first time I ever heard of this book. And here I was, with the mistaken impression that Nickelodeon had come up with their own ideas.
Next thing I'm gonna learn is that this travesty was based off of a child's search for his identity as he slowly freezes to death
So, what IS this book about?
Harriet has one of the coolest hobbies imaginable for a kid living in a city like New York - she likes to keep up a "spy route" and keeps notes on a hand full of people that she finds fascinating enough to make a routine of finding hiding places to watch/listen to them during their daily routines. She also has learned how to keep frank notes of her own opinion on what's going on in her life and with everything going on around her. She writes everything down in a plain Composition notebook, which she keeps until she fills up, buys another one - rinse and repeat. No, this is not portrayed as a lonesome, neurotic habit - perhaps an attempt to control things around her in her own way - this is, refreshingly, portrayed as her form of personal artistic expression, a way to indulge in her overwhelming creativity while also using it as practice for what is what she says to be her future as - what else? A spy.
Her parents are the opposite of Helicopter Parents - Harriet's family is not wealthy, but she does have a personal chef (who makes her her white cake and tomato sandwiches, more or less dutifully) and, most importantly to Harriet, she is watched over by a nanny who is wise enough to understand Harriet's need for physical as well as emotional space while providing for the young girl a soft place to land whenever she needs advice or warmth - Ole Golly.
Erm, this would need to be brought up sooner than later, but Fitzhugh's art borders on terrifying and grotesque a lot of the time, and this depiction of Ole Golly is one of the more.... distracting pieces. I have found that the art has grown on me immensely, but oftentimes I wonder if some illustrations are supposed to be as disturbing as they come off as being.
Harriet is also not wanting for friends, as she is close to two children - a boy and a girl - from her school who have personalities vastly differing from her own. although Harriet has a habit of constantly pausing whatever she's doing to write down her thoughts and reflections in her notebooks, it is implied that she is very much well-adjusted, albeit one rather ambitious girl.
Harriet likes sameness, is comforted by things being the same every day. Despite the fact that her parents are mainly absent from her life, she is happy with the way things are.
What could go wrong?
Harriet is a magnificent little girl, and she is a character beloved by people who value females with a great deal of curiosity and have the courage to be themselves. I have heard of a woman who did become a spy cited Harriet as her role model when she was a girl - which, I think is really just amazing.
I am not surprised that some dumb-asses have seen a wide variety of bullshit reasons to attempt to block children from reading this - oh dear, we couldn't have them reading something that tries to say something meaningful about growing up, providing a different style of growing up, contrary to the Seventh Heaven fuckfaces with their gross, Aryan children, now, could we? It is an awful mistake to try to keep children from reading any book that they want to - as John Waters once mentioned, if a kid has the tenacity to go to a library to get a copy of Naked Lunch, what right have you to block that kid from reading it? - but this book, in particular, speaks to children in an intimate fashion that is admirable, especially to children whose personality is grown inwardly and not in an outward, socially motivated fashion.
Girls in particular need more Harriets in the public canon, providing an example of a girl who wears the same old clothes when she goes spying and always makes sure to have a flashlight so that she can better explore the world around her.
Oh, this came out recently - fuck me, why?
Please tell me that the plot of this isn't that Harriet has naked pictures of herself floating around the internet...

Tying flies is a skill used to make fly fishing more enjoyable and productive. Flies are, after all, meant to serve a function: catch fish. Of course, after tying thousands of flies I have realized I rarely fish with flies I don't find attractive. Could it be that trout and fishermen have the same appreciation for well tied and pretty flies? Or maybe I can only properly present and fish with flies that are pleasing to my eye. Each fly represents years of design and technique based on form and function. I'm not sure if it's art, but I do like the thought of my flies as tiny masterpieces meant to be trashed by hungry fish, snagged in branches, and flung through the air.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) - BCS executive director Bill Hancock says the selection committee for the College Football Playoff will try to avoid rematches, but not at the expense of the integrity of the seedings.
Hancock spoke to the Football Writers Association of America on Monday. He says the top priority of the selection committee will be to make sure the No. 1 team plays close to home and the teams are properly seeded.
Using this season's final BCS standings, and next season's semifinal sites, the final four would have been No. 1 Florida State playing No. 4 Michigan State in the Sugar Bowl and No. 2 Auburn playing No. 3 Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
Hancock says seeding adjustments will only be made if teams are considered even.

To enhance liquidity, ATM servicer and software provider Diebold Nixdorf has secured a $650 million capital commitment from two institutional lenders and started a process to amend its existing credit agreement. The funds will be used to acquire remaining shares of Diebold Nixdorf AG and repay debt, among other purposes, the company said in an announcement.
With the terms of the commitment, the company is expected to receive the funds through a Term Loan A-1, due August 2022, that would be implemented in a forthcoming agreement. However, the company said that the credit agreement amendments, including the Term Loan A-1 Facility, are “subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining necessary lender approvals.” In addition, the company disclosed further information in a current report on Form 8-K that was provided to lenders through a filing on Monday morning (Aug. 27).
The news comes as the company has reportedly started considering a sale and hiring financial advisors. According to CNBC, “Diebold hired Credit Suisse and Evercore … to help identify potential buyers,” though it was too early to determine a price for the company.
The company’s shares have been in a free fall after it forecasted lower than expected EBITDA earlier this month, and revealed plans to use cash on hand and its revolving credit line to buy $160 million of shares in Wincor Nixdorf, the German company it acquired in 2016.
Since not all of Wincor’s shareholders tendered the purchase offer two years ago, Diebold held only 77 percent of the outstanding shares as of the end of July. However, earlier this month, 13 percent of the remaining holders asked to be paid, totaling around $255 million. Diebold paid $160 million and will pay the remaining $95 million later this week — it will then own more than 90 percent of the outstanding shares.
D.A. Davidson’s Matt Summerville said earlier this month that, at the end of the second quarter, Diebold had access to $380 million in funds under its revolving credit facility.

We haven’t paddled them all yet and frankly, with so many options, we’re not likely to either. But anyway, here are some great spots to Kayak on Norfolk’s wonderful rivers.
Kayaking The River Wensum: Flowing Through History
The River Wensum, winding through the heart of Norwich, is a hidden gem often overlooked by kayakers who are often drawn to the allure of the broads before considering some of the fine inland kayaking Norfolk has to offer.
As you paddle past historic buildings, lush meadows, and picturesque villages on the Wensum, you’ll feel like you’ve paddled back in time.
The river is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons, making it a nature lover’s paradise.
For a truly immersive experience, explore the many tributaries and backwaters of the Wensum, discovering hidden corners and tranquil oases along the way.
Kayaking The River Yare: A Gentle Journey Through Nature
The River Yare is another fantastic option for Kayaking Norfolk.
Its gentle current makes it perfect for beginners and families, while the idyllic scenery and abundant wildlife never cease to amaze us.
The river passes through the enchanting Whitlingham Country Park, where you can spot waterfowl, dragonflies, and even the occasional deer.
The Yare also offers easy access to the Norfolk Broads, providing endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Kayaking The River Great Ouse: A Royal Paddling Experience

Each of these rivers offers its own unique kayaking experience, making Norfolk a true haven for paddlers. With a wealth of diverse waterways to explore, you’ll never run out of new places to discover and enjoy.
Kayaking Norfolk Lakes
There are actually very few lakes in Norfolk that aren’t connected to either the sea or to the Norfolk Broads if truth be told.
Well, Lakes to Kayak anyway.
Many lakes are privately owned with most being watercraft-free and designated for fisherman or as reserves for animal and plant life.
One lake in Norfolk that we have kayaked on before is the Lynford Lake (and Lynford Water) which is owned by Forestry England.
Kayaking on Lynford Lake and Lynford Water is not really permitted unless you go through the Forestry England preferred operator which is Watsup Paddleboards.
However, and you didn’t hear this from us, but during the week when it is very quiet, it is certainly possible to walk your kayak over from the River Wissey (just 8 meters away in some places), for a serene early morning paddle.

The Golden State Warriors will try their luck again on the road this Thursday when they pay the Dallas Mavericks a visit. Will the Warriors pull off another win away from home? Or, will Dallas add more to Golden State’s road woes?
Catch this game live on Thursday, March 23, at 7:30 AM, Manila time
Away: Golden State Warriors (37-36/8-29 Away)
Projected Starting Five:
- PG: Stephen Curry
- SG: Klay Thompson
- SF: Donte DiVincenzo
- PF: Draymond Green (probable)
- C: Kevon Looney (probable)
The Warriors got a rare road win last Tuesday over the Houston Rockets, 121-108. While it’s just Houston, winning a game in enemy territory regardless of the opposition was a very much-needed shot in the arm for the Warriors, who lost three in a row prior to that contest. Stephen Curry scored 30 points versus the Rockets, while Klay Thompson dropped 29 for Golden State, which still has one of the most effective offenses in the league.
The Warriors are second overall with 118.3 points per game and third with a 56.8eFG%. Known more for their ability to knock down shots from deep, don’t be surprised if the Warriors actually beat Dallas from the shorter range. Dallas is just 24th in the NBA with opponents shooting 56.5% against them on 2-pointers. The Warriors, on other hand, are seventh with 56.1% shooting from inside the arc.
Golden State is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games after a win.
Home: Dallas Mavericks (36-36/22-14 Home)
Projected Starting Five:
- PG: Luka Doncic (questionable)
- SG: Kyrie Irving (questionable)
- SF: Josh Green
- PF: Reggie Bullock
- C: Dwight Powell
The Mavs return home looking to rebound right away from a 112-108 loss in Tennessee at the hands of the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies last Tuesday. Dallas had a considerable lead heading into the fourth quarter of that game but failed to stop Memphis’ run. Whether Jason Kidd’s seat is getting warmer or not, the Mavs are pressed to win games, given their position in the Western Conference standings. With that said, it would be interesting to see if both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic will be able to play together this Thursday.
Doncic has sat out the last five games due to a thigh injury, while Irving appeared to have aggravated a foot issue in the meeting with the Grizzlies. Either way, being the home team in this matchup against the Warriors is already a huge plus for Dallas, considering that Golden State plays poorly on the road.
In fact, Dallas is 7-3 SU and 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games versus the Warriors, dating back to 2018.
Spread: The Warriors (+2) cover the spread.

Our Dancer of the Month for March, Chloe, was born In England and has dual citizenship. Her mother (Mum) is English and her father is American. Chloe is 14 and in 8th grade and so tiny that she often gets mistaken for a 10 year old. Obviously, this can be kind of annoying sometimes. On the other hand, Chloe says being so small sometime comes in handy since she is often the one that gets lifted and thrown around in their group dances. According to Chloe, she is “also very bendy, people often comment on my back being made of a rubber band.”
Chloe loves to dance!! She started dancing 11 years ago when she was three. She now dances about five hours each day after school at The Factory Dance Productions in her home town of Cullman, Alabama. She is not only a soloist there but also a member of their competition team. Chloe is a very well rounded girl who not only dances but also plays the piano and has been a member of her School Districts Math Team for four years!
When Chloe was just a toddler she was always dancing around the house. Consequently, her Mum enrolled her in dance classes at their local dance studio. That was the week Chloe turned three.
According to Chloe, she has had several special moments in her dance career. One moment actually lasted more than a moment. She won a scholarship with Be Discovered/Disney’s “Dance the Magic” to train and dance on Broadway in New York City. She then received some great training and dancing on a Broadway stage that she says was amazing! Another moment occurred this year when she received Non Stop Dancer runner up from 24/7. She found that to be very special. She also received Regional Miss Teen Fusion from Fusion Dance this January. Additionally, going to Dancerpalooza last summer was a great experience and she is looking forward to going again this year. Chloe has always wanted to attend The Dance Awards and this year I will be.
Chloe found her experience buying from B Dancewear to be a breeze! They needed their pieces quickly and shipping was extremely fast. Additionally, the huge range of colors and styles available made it possible for them to buy the basics to create her costume for Venus just how they had envisioned it to be. She was a statue and at one point she was painted head to toe with ivory body paint! In her opinion, B Dancewear separates are so comfortable to wear that she would be more than happy to buy from B Dancewear again.
Her goals for this year are to attend Dancerpalooza again this year and to take the Aria Ballet intensive. She is hoping that this will help improve her overall technique and enable her to be a better dancer. She is also planning on attending The Dance Awards and really hopes she will do well.
Her long term goal is to become a professional dancer. If that does not happen, she hopes to be able to share her love of dance by teaching at a dance studio.
