Line-up /DJ Mes (Guesthouse), Linkin Shotz, JOK
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are back. After our bouncing launch party, where the one and only Sonny Fodera ripped up the dancefloor, we are bringing you a second opportunity to be a part of the jacking house revolution that is Four:Four.
We present to you:
With support from
& LINKIN SHOTZ
@ SOUTH NIGHTCLUB (SuperMicroBasementClub) , MANCHESTER
DJ Mes is the house worlds OG from Oakland, California and currently the owner of industry-changing label Guesthouse Music, his ear for talent has led to the unveiling of some of the most successful producers in the industry (Gramphonedzie and J Paul Getto, to name a couple).
In the studio and behind the decks, Mes is nothing short of ground-breaking. Mes has had shithot collaborations with DJ Sneak, his own influence DJ Dan and Four:Four favourite Sonny Fodera. Mes’ genre challenging sound earned him countless festival appearances and club residencies. His track “Fools Gold” led Traxsource to honour Mes with the NO 1 spot on the Top 100 House Tracks of 2011. It was only last month that Mes and Guesthouse created house history by releasing their 100th track entitled “3000”, marking the beginnings of another underground house revolution.
Mes himself states “I’m always working to sign new or undiscovered music and talent to the label and maybe even throw a curve ball to startle people with a new, unexpected style or sound. It’s what it’s all about.”
South nightclub is 16 years old, the antidote to the super club, managed by Paul Cons, the promotions manager behind the famous HACIENDA nightclub. A small disco joint, deliberately underground fully kitted with Funktion-1 Speakers, South is the perfect environment to play host to the critically acclaimed DJ Mes.

News & Events
May Starts Rebound 15%
New construction starts in May jumped 15% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $783.6 billion, according to Dodge Data & Analytics. The lift in May came from substantial gains for nonbuilding construction, up 39%; and nonresidential building, up 18%; as both sectors benefitted from the start of several very large projects. Nonbuilding construction, and specifically its public works segment, was boosted by the start of three large natural gas pipelines with a combined construction start cost of $4.6 billion, plus $1.4 billion related to the start of an environmental cleanup project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, a $1.4 billion rail transit project in Los Angeles CA, and a $1.1 billion rail transit project in the Boston MA area. Nonresidential building was aided by the start of a $1.0 billion Facebook data center in Nebraska, the $764 million expansion to the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle WA, and a $740 million airport terminal project at Salt Lake City International Airport. Meanwhile, residential building in May held steady with its April pace. Through the first five months of 2018, total construction starts on an unadjusted basis were $299.9 billion, down 3% from the same period a year ago. On a twelve-month moving total basis, total construction starts for the twelve months ending May 2018 were up 1% from the amount reported for the twelve months ending May 2017. The commercial categories as a group rose 7% in May, showing improvement for the second month in a row after April’s 6% gain. Hotel construction had a strong May, climbing 27% as the result of such projects as the $320 million Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans LA and the $222 million Kalahari Resort in Round Rock TX. Warehouse construction advanced 21% in May, reflecting the start of a $200 million warehouse complex in Edgerton KS and an $83 million tire distribution center in the Memphis TN area. New office construction starts increased 7% in May, lifted by a $1.0 billion expansion to a Facebook data center in Papillion NE and a $300 million office building in Charlotte NC. Also contributing to May’s commercial building upturn was the commercial garage category, which grew 19%. However, store construction retreated from its improved April amount, falling 33% in May. The manufacturing building category in May plunged 54%, showing weaker activity for the second month in a row.

Fan Favorite Uriah is Finally Cast for Insurgent
The character is a fan favorite, so many fans were disappointed that he did not appear in the recent "Divergent," especially since the character appeared in the novel version. In the first novel of the "Divergent" series, Uriah and several other Dauntless-born initiates befriend Tris, which does not go over well with her fellow transfer initiates. This entire plotline was cut from the film, presumably for the sake of a reasonable running time. In the novel "Insurgent," (spoilers!) Tris discovers that he is also Divergent, and that he is complicit in a plan to spy on the evil Erudite.
The film also stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, and Naomi Watts, and opens on March 20, 2015. For those of you who are wondering whether the next movie will achieve more than "Divergent"'s guilty fun, the book jacket of the novel "Insurgent" describes Tris as "grappling with the haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love." Oh lord. How charmingly specific.

The Ministry of Health and Protection (MoHaP) recently conducted 242,415 COVID-19 tests that led to the discovery of 1,810 new cases, bringing the total number of confirmed COVID-19 patients to 483,747.
The ministry also reported two patients who have died due to complications from COVID-19, which brings the country’s total death toll to 1,531.
MOHAP also reported 1,652 individuals who have already recovered from the coronavirus disease, with the total now at 468,456.
This brings the total number of active cases to 13,760 as of April 11.
MOHAP has urged all Emiratis and residents eligible for COVID-19 vaccination to start booking appointments for inoculation now that the initial period for priority entitlement given to people who are most at risk of infection is over.
Those eligible for vaccination, including citizens and residents aged 16 and above, can now get inoculated for free in any of the 205 vaccination locations available nationwide, the ministry said in a statement tonight.
The statement said it’s incumbent on those opting for vaccination to get prior booking as those who are most vulnerable to infection will continue to be received by vaccination centres without prior booking.
The past six weeks saw a collaborative effort made by all health departments to prioritise those most at risk of infection, including the elderly and people with chronic diseases, such as heart, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses.

World Cup 2014 Video: Ecuador v England match report
VIDEO: Sam Wallace says England's performance against Ecuador showed the good and the bad of the national team.
Thursday 05 June 2014
The Independent’s chief football correspondent says that results of a scan on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's knee today will go a long way in defining the mood of the England camp over the next week.
The Arsenal man had to leave the 2-2 draw with Ecuador after an hour following a collision with the Ecuadorian Carlos Gruezo.
Sam Wallace said that Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ross Barkley were the two outstanding players in England's performance, both showing a "bravery, pace and willingness to run at the opposition" that the team has been lacking for some ten or twenty years.
Wallace said that England's performance showed the good and the bad of the side, with a second-string defence making mistakes while going forward the team showed promise. The potential combination of Wayne Rooney and Rickie Lambert, who both scored, was slightly overshadowed by a red card for Raheem Sterling just 16 minutes after coming off the bench.

LIVINGSTON, Calif. (KFSN) -- Family members said Edgar Roldan was an 8th grader who loved playing soccer and hanging out with his friends. He died Tuesday when he was struck by the train on Main Street.
Roldan was with a group of teenagers when they attempted to cross these tracks. The crossing arms were dropping and Roldan tried to make it, but he slipped and fell into the path of the train.
Tearful friends and teenagers stopped at the train tracks Wednesday where the athlete, once so full of energy lost his life. "He was funny. And I don't know, I don't think anyone would picture him in this way," said Isabel Carrillo, victim's friend
"I think it's going to be really hard for the school too because he was one of the most popular kids, like one of the most popular kids," Alexis Coronado, victim's friend.
Friends say Roldan had just left Gene-O's Pizza Tuesday and was heading home before soccer practice when he and others walked and ran across the train tracks. "He thought he could make it across. He started to run. He ended up slipping and I believe that's when he was struck," said Lt. Chris Soria, Livingston Police Department.
Roldan's brother was with him along with several friends. Investigators say at least one friend urged him not to cross, before witnessing in horror the train striking the teen and throwing him about 50 feet. "For someone who is only 13-years-old and for his life to end like that. Being a parent myself, I can't even imagine what the family is going through," said Lt. Soria.
Roldan was the youngest of four children. Denise Aguilar said he was her boyfriend for the past six months. "He was just nice. And a good person."
During their time together, the two made a lot of great memories. "We used to always go to football games and then they ended, so we didn't have nothing to do. So he would just come over and talk for a little bit."
Officials with the railroad returned to the crash scene and spoke to at least one witness Wednesday morning. Since school is out for Thanksgiving break, many students are getting together to talk about the tragedy. One of the friends who was with Roldan Tuesday sent a text message to Aguilar expressing his sorrow and regret over his death. "He just said that he is sorry for not being able to save him."
An autopsy was done this morning and revealed Aguilar died of major blunt force trauma.
His family is now raising money to pay for his funeral. If you would like to contribute please click here.

For those of you, like me, who don’t live in the United States, here’s the background: Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer and navigator. In 1492, he arrived on the shores of what is now known as Puerto Rico where he was met by the Taino people.
Columbus recognized the prestige which he and his people had been given and took advantage of it. He kidnapped many people from the native tribe and sent them back to Europe to work as slaves. This began a period in history in which many people such as the Danish, British, French, and Spanish would stake their claim to the American continent through genocide, slavery, and colonialization. The Indigenous people who lived there suffered starvation, massacres, attempted assimilation, and abject poverty for most of their lives due to the inhumane treatment by these colonizing forces for so-called ‘development’.
So, fast forward and now we are in 2020. While the world is gripped in a pandemic, the USA has begun to unravel its history with race and society. From the Black Lives Matter protests to the handling of the pandemic by Donald Trump, the USA is finally realizing that there are serious problems within the foundation of its society. Representative Deb Haaland from New Mexico has put forward a bill named ‘The Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policy in the United States Act’. This is an effort to bring attention to the impact of the Boarding School system on Indigenous Communities in North America, and would be a historical bill that will finally force people to see the damage of America’s roots as opposed to complacency.
One of the largest movements currently is the 1492 Land Back Movement. The movement is advocating for the US government to return Indigenous land back to its rightful owners (owners is used as a very loose term as many people believe that one can never own the land as it is not anyone’s to own) especially those of sacred and historical significance. This movement has already begun to set precedents; the return of 3 million acres of land equating to half of Oklahoma was returned to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. This was a historic decision as the area also includes Tulsa, Oklahoma’s second-biggest city. In July 2020, the Esselen tribe of Northern California gained back 1,200 acres of land in yet another historical case.
It’s not a coincidence that this is happening. The people are finally standing up for their rights and beliefs like we have seen so many do before them. Looking back to this past 4th of July when the people of the Lakota Sioux stood in defiance of the President and protected the Black Hills from him and his supporters.
My people are still struggling with freedom. We are split across three states because of colonialization, with the Kohinoor diamond in Queen Elizabeth II’s crown.
Even though great strides have been made, there is a lot of work that has yet to be done. The Black Hills are still under the control of the US Government; a direct violation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, and of the Supreme Court ruling in 1980.
So here’s what you can do to help:
It wasn’t until I completed my undergraduate degree that I realized how colonized my education was. So, I read as much as I could. I shared these books and articles with as many people as possible. Authors of color provide invaluable information that you can’t receive from white sources.
Share your resources!
I pass whatever I read to the people around me because everyone deserves access to this information. Like so many of us did during the peak of the BLM movement, it is time we read up Indigenous history. We can only be allies and supporters if we learn. So many of us outside of the US and Canada were not even aware that this was happening.
Donate to bailfunds!
I understand that this is not feasible for everyone but any steps you can take is enough:
There’s always something more we can learn about others. I am a firm believer that you cannot expect people to understand you if you aren’t willing to do the same. 2020 has been one of the most awful years, but its also been a year of amazing things.
Let’s make it the year to make a big movement towards decolonization.

Resilient African Feed and Fodder Systems Project (RAFFS Project) makes substantial progress. This effort, in conjunction with the African Union-InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), addresses the acute issues posed by the Triple C's: COVID-19, Climate Change shocks, and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict. The results of these crises have exposed the flaws in Africa's feed and fodder supply networks, resulting in significant livestock losses, livelihood degradation, and price inflation for critical livestock-sourced foods.
The main purpose of the Inception Workshop, which will take place from the 20th to the 24th of November, is to kick off the Feed and Fodder Assessment and conduct the project's inception with key stakeholders in Zimbabwe. An in-depth evaluation of the effect of the Triple Crises on Zimbabwe's Feed and Fodder Sector will be presented, as well as training for the National assessment team and the presentation and validation of preliminary survey results.
Multiple outcomes are anticipated from this evaluation, including a better grasp of how global crises have affected feed and fodder systems and an evaluation of the current state of data and digital capacity for evidence-based information. The effort is also examining legislative frameworks to improve the long-term viability of the feed, fodder, and animal-sourced foods supply chains and encouraging the meaningful engagement of women in those networks.
The agenda spans a comprehensive series of sessions, encompassing scene-setting, training, official openings, and workshops. Noteworthy is the involvement of the African Women in Animal Resources Farming and Agribusiness Network (AWARFA-N), ensuring that women, often disproportionately affected by these crises, are empowered to actively participate in and benefit from the feed and fodder sector.
While Zimbabwe is at the forefront of this important effort, the RAFFS Project's goals extend far beyond the mitigation of urgent threats to the establishment of a more secure, sustainable, and equitable future for the continent's livestock and agriculture. This collaborative, capacity-building, and gender-inclusive approach highlights the project's dedication to bolstering the feed and fodder sector in the face of tremendous difficulties. So far inception workshops have been held in Uganda, Nigeria, Somalia, and Kenya.

Chelsea, Mass.-based Morning Kiss Organic — which has expanded its program with organic kiwis and pears, available year-round — will exhibit at the Organic Produce Summit July 10-11 in Monterey, Calif.
On the heels of a $40 million joint venture and a new office in Dubai, Sonia Lo is fighting for what she calls digital distributed agriculture, an emerging industry-wide infrastructure that works with indoor farms.
After a tough year for the southeastern produce industry, more than 3,400 of those growers and packers started the new year afresh at the Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference in Savannah, Ga.
Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference organizers are offering full registration to growers who faced substantial losses from Hurricane Michael, making it easier for them to attend the annual show.
AgriTalk Host Chip Flory brings in Jim Wiesemeyer to cover news from Washington, Greg Henderson and Pamela Riemenschneider cover online produce shopping, and Rhonda Brooks previews Farm Journal's Yield Tour.

Rasmussen, who serves as an adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and worked with his predecessor, Pyotr Poroshenko, said Kiev should be given written guarantees before NATO leaders meet in Vilnius, Lithuania next month, including for Western intelligence-sharing, weapons transfers and joint military training.
“If NATO cannot agree on a clear path forward for Ukraine, there is a clear possibility that some countries individually might take action,” he said.
After touring Europe and the United States in recent weeks to help gin up military support for Ukraine, Rasmussen argued that foreign troop deployments would be legal under international law if requested by Kiev.
While NATO’s current secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg, recently confirmed that some security assurances would be discussed at the summit, he stressed that full guarantees could only be offered to member states. The bloc first pledged to grant Ukraine membership back in 2008, and Kiev formally applied to join last September, but little progress has been made on the issue since.
Several NATO members have become increasingly vocal about Ukraine’s future in the bloc, urging other Western countries to outline a clear path to membership. Earlier this week, a sub-grouping of Eastern European NATO states known as the ‘Bucharest Nine’ issued a statement urging the bloc to “launch a new political track that will lead to Ukraine’s membership in NATO” at the Vilnius event, as well as a “more robust, multi–year, and comprehensive support package.”

Matilda, an Eastham canine, named top Puli in nation at Westminster Kennel Club show
EASTHAM — An Eastham fisherman who saw a small black moplike dog recently, slammed on his brakes, looked down with a quizzical expression and asked its owner in all honesty, "What is that?"
But the trained eye of a nationally known judge at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this week had no trouble recognizing her as the top Puli in the nation.
Champion Cordmaker Tennessee Waltz or "Matilda," as she is known at home in Eastham with her handler-owner Carolyn Nusbickel was named best of breed at the show in New York City earlier this week.
It was the third year in a row the dog has been recognized as the best of breed, a record in the kennel club's history.
She prevailed over five other champion Pulik (the plural word for the breed) at the show.
Matilda went on to compete against 17 other breeds in the herding group at the show at Madison Square Garden and was recognized along with just six others as dog show judge Ann Rogers Clark's final cut. She did not place in the group, but Nusbickel was thrilled nonetheless.
"To be pulled in that company by that judge was a huge honor," she said yesterday, surrounded by Matilda, the dog's father, Dodger, Matilda's 6-month-old daughter, Kissy, and Matilda's 15-year-old grandmother, Annie.
The Puli originated in Hungary, where it was bred for herding sheep. Its most prominent characteristic is a soft, corded coat that resembles Rastafarian dreadlocks flowing to the ground. The fur covers the eyes, and the short curled tail and can be black, rusty black, gray or white.
The dogs stand about 16-18 inches at the shoulder and, according to Nusbickel, "have a very particular temperament."
As herding dogs, they have been bred to be naturally suspicious of strangers, she said.
They "choose their people" carefully, she said, but once they do so, they are fiercely loyal.
"They're busy, noisy, very intelligent and very loving," Nusbickel said.
A strong owner is essential to having a happy experience with the breed, as these dogs can easily outsmart their companions, she said.
There are less than a dozen kennels nationwide, and Nusbickel holds one of them, although she only raises about one litter per year.
A lively, alert and gentle dog, Matilda was bred by Australian Puli breeder Susan Hubner, whom Nusbickel met at a show while living in Pennsylvania. Nusbickel's dog, Dodger, had won many shows on his own, and she wanted to breed him to one of Hubner's female Pulik.
The litter produced not only Matilda, but also eight other multiple best-in-show dogs.
"It just clicked," said Nusbickel.
Matilda's credentials are impressive by any dog show standard. Along with her Westminster ribbons, she is a national specialty winner, where she beat more than 100 other Pulik.
Specialty shows are held for every breed recognized by the American Kennel Club, and they attract dogs from all over the world.
She has won shows in New Zealand and Australia, and leaves tomorrow for a whirlwind show circuit with a professional handler in San Francisco.
Leaving her will be hard, said Nusbickel, but she realizes that showing is second nature to her dog.
"She loves it," she said "She beats the door down. And she absolutely knows when she wins."

In the wake of its tremendous success last year, Durham’s Vocal Festival will be returning from 27th January 2018, and promises more vocal talent than ever! Run by Durham Music Service, DVF18 will see the voice of the North East unite, with vocal events and concerts covering the entire vocal gamut, from a cappella to cathedral services.
Durham University is thrilled to be involved and partnering in DVF once again. Our students are extremely excited to be taking part in these events. Sophie Rudge, President of the university’s Chamber Choir, said:
“The vocal festival is a fantastic opportunity for singers throughout the north east to sing in some of the country’s finest venues. Through a number of concerts, workshops and masterclasses the Durham Vocal Festival are helping to inspire the next generation of singers!”
Our students are extremely excited to be involved in some of the festival’s highlights, such as the a cappella extravaganza on 5th February at the Gala theatre. Leading a cappella society, the Northern Lights, will take to the stage following their sell-out concert last year, in collaboration with Apollo5 and the singers of Egglescliffe School Urban Voice.
On 4th February, the college chapel choirs will celebrate Durham’s choral heritage and perform collectively at the intercollegiate evensong. Finally, the North East Festival of Youth Choirs will celebrate the youngest singers of the North East, from primary school students to undergraduates, including our very own Chamber Choir, will provide a fitting conclusion to Durham’s inaugural vocal festival. In the magnificent setting of Durham cathedral, this massed choir promises to be a concert not to be missed.
Free masterclasses will also be given as part of DVF. Master of the Choristers at Durham Cathedral, Daniel Cook, will coach the university’s chapel choirs on 29th January, whilst baritone Roderick Williams OBE, will take an opera masterclass on 9th February, working with the Durham Opera Ensemble (DOE) on their upcoming production: Mozart’s The Magic Flute.
Showcasing a synthesis of the diverse, outstanding talent across the North East, DVF18 promises to be a festival not to be missed!

Impression Management. It's negative impact and why awareness is important?
Impression Management is the process by which people attempt to manage or control the perception others form of them. There is often a tendency for people to try to present themselves so as to impress others in a socially desirably way. Thus, impression management has considerable implications for areas such as validity of performance appraisals and it is a pragmatic, political tool for one to build image and be successful.
Some of these impression management behaviors are consciously controlled while others such as eye contact and posture are often unwittingly expressed. We attempt to control our impression management behaviors because they are primary means of influencing how we are treated by other people. It is, essentially, spin-doctor.
Since Goffman, some have defined impression management negatively, as a form of impersonal manipulation occurring in very confined settings or as applying to a limited set of behaviors.
This supports a common misperception: impression management is something basically bad, involving actions performed primarily to attain upper hand over others, or to deceive them. However, most recent perspectives see impression management as a very broad and common phenomenon.
Process of Impression Management
Impression Motivation - In an employment situation, subordinates may be movtivated to control how their boss perceives them.
Impression Construction - Is concerned with the specific type of impression people want to make and they go about doing it.

Fine Gael’s Barry Walsh has been rounded on by female colleagues for calling women ‘b**ches’ in abusive tweets.
Calling time on their colleague Walsh’s inappropriate Twitter behaviour, several high-profile members of the party have demanded that ‘he be sorted out’.
The abusive tweets, which have since been deleted, were first brought to the attention of the Dail by Dublin Bay South TD Kate O’Connell.
Ms O’Connell has written to Fine Gael bosses to complain of Walsh’s online behaviour.
Walsh, a member of Fine Gael’s Executive Council, has been involved in a number of Twitter spats with political opponents, and those who oppose his anti-abortion views.
Speaking on Sean O’Rourke on RTE Radio 1 on Thursday, Social Protection Minister Regina Doherty said that his online trolling must stop.
‘This young man has serious issues. He is one of the angriest young men I have come across,’ said Ms O’Doherty.
Claiming that Walsh’s behaviour has been ‘going on for years’, Ms Doherty said ‘you kind of get desensitised on Twitter… you try and block out the crap, excuse my language… but he reached a pinnacle on Saturday afternoon.’
Meanwhile, Fine Gael Senator Catherine Noone told radio listeners that his behaviour and was ‘not about women against men or misogyny, but about common decency’.
She expressed concern about the state of mind of someone who could write these tweets.
However, she added: ‘It’s very important that natural justice and due process is observed here.
‘I’m only being slightly careful I suppose from a legal point of view in what I say. I don’t disagree with one word Regina has said and I admire her for being so forthright in this’.
Minister Doherty also said that she would be genuinely worried about the young man, and that it’s not even close to normal behaviour.
Speaking on The Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk, Ms O’Connell said she received a call from Taoiseach Leo Varadkar after the incident was reported in the media.
‘The Taoiseach contacted me last night and from his wording he knows this is serious, he knows it must be dealt with, and I know he’s going to deal with it accordingly.’
Proud of @campaignforkate . Honoured to call her a colleague and a friend. A hard working, bright person who stands up for what she believes, demands high standards and calls out low ones
— Simon Harris TD (@SimonHarrisTD) November 16, 2017
One tweet that has caused an angry reaction was one Mr Walsh posted about comedian and actor Tara Flynn, who had a termination.
Minister Doherty also apologised on behalf of Fine Gael to comedian and outspoken campaigner Tara Flynn for the hurt she has been on the receiving end for several months.
Thanking the party for the acknowledgement, Ms Flynn said that she had already blocked him, and she thanked Health Minister Simon Harris for also denouncing Walsh’s behaviour.
I’m not an FG woman. I have no power but I can certainly stand in solidarity with them and say how sorry I am it happened to them too. I had him blocked ages ago. Only discovered his position recently.

Former Auckland lawyer Kenneth Yee has been struck off the roll of barristers and solicitors by the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal.
The tribunal found that Mr Yee had misused client funds in two ways. As a law firm employee he diverted $95,706 of fees to companies he was associated with. He also took $505,155 from the firm’s trust account into one of his companies in a series of unauthorised loans.
While the unauthorised loans were fully repaid either to the trust account or directly to the client, Mr Yee has not repaid the $95,706 of fees to his former firm.
The tribunal found that Mr Yee’s misconduct would clearly be regarded by lawyers of good standing as disgraceful or dishonourable, and it was also a wilful or reckless contravention of the trust accounting regulations.
New Zealand Law Society National Prosecutions Manager Mark Treleaven says the misuse of funds held by lawyers on behalf of their clients will always be totally unacceptable.
“A solicitor’s trust account is aptly named. The reputation of the legal profession stands on ensuring that a person can have absolute confidence that any such funds will be securely and safely held in trust by their lawyer,” he says.
“The New Zealand Law Society will not countenance any departures from the Conduct and Client Care Rules and Trust Account Regulations.”

18 Abr Your Weakest Link: Use It To Tren
Steroids and their use in bodybuilding (and never solely) will at all times provide subjects for discussion and reviews, as it happens right now with the assessment of a extremely popular anabolic steroid, named Trenbolone. Earlier than you can increase your muscle and body mass, it is very important scale back first your physique fat. Reducing the body fat will help you have got higher body shape. And because the body will not be conversant in the compound it can react. That is if you expertise a cough.
While there are a lot of anabolic steroids that increase the secretion of IGF-1 within the body, none come even near Tren. Tren skyrockets IGF-1 levels which in turn has a profound beneficial effect on just about every thing. Right from enhanced restoration, extra endurance, to ligament healing, tendon tears, better functioning of the central nervous system and the pulmonary system, the benefits of IGF-1 are unparalleled.
News On Realistic Plans For Trenbolone
Here now we have to face the reality. Common use of these anabolic preparations usually – and especially of Trenbolone (Tren) being one of the vital powerful steroids discovered out there – can have very harmful penalties for organism, and should lead to deadly outcomes.
Over the 4 many years, a big decrease has been observed in age-associated mortality caused by cardiovascular disease. Individuals in growing countries undergo from CAD at a relatively younger age and about half of MI occurs beneath the age of fifty years. Abuse of anabolic steroids is one of the much less frequent causes of atherosclerosis. On this report, a 23-year-outdated body builder male referred to emergency division (ED) with myocardial infarction (MI) following chronic Trenbolone acetate consumption. It appears that evidently a complete historical past of steroid consumption in younger patients referred to ED with the chief complaint of chest ache or its equivalents is critical in adjunct to different cardiac danger elements.
There is additionally a standard cough that Trenbolone users might experience. This cough is known as a Tren cough. This sometimes happens quickly after the consumer injects themselves with Trenbolone. Sometimes, this happens because the consumer might have by accident punctured a capillary or a vein when pushing the needle into and thru the pores and skin. Because many anabolic steroids are sometimes oil based, oil will enter the capillaries or the vein that is punctured. It then will get transported to the lungs which try to eliminate it by coughing.
In addition to that, different modifications are made to spice up the androgenic energy which allows it to bind strongly to androgen receptors more than other steroids. There’s a cycle referred to as the Health Mannequin (stack). It has Trenbolone Acetate, Masteron propionate, and testosterone propionate.
ORX induced a nonsignificant 18% improve in retroperitoneal (retro) fats mass compared with SHAMs ( Fig. 4A ). Conversely, TE administration lowered retro fats mass by 27% compared with ORX (P ≤ 0.01). TREN remedy also resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in retro fats mass. Particularly, low TREN restored retro fats mass to the level of SHAMs, moderate TREN lowered retro fats mass by 35% compared with ORX (P ≤ 0.001) and by 23% in contrast with low TREN (P ≤ 0.05), and high TREN reduced retro fats mass by forty three-51% compared with SHAMs, low TREN, and ORX animals (P ≤ 0.001) and also by 34% in contrast with TE remedy (P ≤ zero.05).
However what concerning the dosage of these energetic ingredients? Could not be better! The primary constituents of the product are found entirely in this dose balanced over all plenty. Compared to XtraSize , it’s remarkably extra appropriate. We should masteron dosage also mention here that not everyone appears to undergo these uncomfortable side effects from Tren. Some folks will even say that they experienced no negative effects in any respect when on trenbolone.
Each container of this dietary complement contains 60 capsules which needs to be enough for 60 days. Wer die Kohlenhydratzufuhr auf einem moderaten Niveau hält und die tägliche Fettaufnahme bei ca. Nevertheless, the severity isn’t even near what oral steroids can cause. Therefore users can expertise optimistic effects on connective and joint tissue, which are getting stronger during bulking, performance enhancing and mass gaining cycles. This product will not be less than a blessing for me. Beide Phasen wechseln sich in einem vier- bis sechswöchigen Rhythmus ab. In case your dbol at lease 15%.
Trenbolone acetate was an injectable steroid originally made for veterinary use which was extremely standard in bodybuilding and powerlifting in the course of the 1980’s. Often known as Finaject, Tren 100 is the trendy version that has grow to be availible after a long time of non-manufacturing. Trenbolone acetate is a very robust and androgenic compound which also has a excessive anabolic impact. It provides its users a fast and powerful power gain without causing excessive achieve in physique weight. The reason being Trenbolone acetate doesn’t trigger water retention. Also the reason for its popularity among powerlifters who needed to stay within a certain weight class.
This is very important – you shouldn’t use it as your first cycle. Inexperienced users may find it too sturdy. It means which you could achieve higher power and enhance muscle positive aspects. And for individuals who want more outcomes, it is a sensible choice. Should you look carefully at the experiences of the users, you discover that they have not skilled any disagreeable unintended effects.
Trenbolone itself carries a bunch of uncomfortable side effects and the Enanthate model is not any exception. The unwanted side effects are actual, and the tolerance stage of each particular person is different. Each particular how to use trenbolone person has a different body chemistry and will feel the consequences in another way as well. Some will really feel extra effects than others and some will both discontinue utilizing the steroid or be taught to cope with the results.

MILLTOWN — A 50-year-old borough woman has been charged with setting fire to her house.
Karen Piciullo, who resided at 39 Pershing Ave., was charged on Sept. 6 with aggravated arson and criminal mischief. Bail was set at $150,000, according to a statement prepared by Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Chief Brian Knelle of the Milltown Police Department.
Piciullo was charged during an investigation by Lt. Christopher Johnson of the Milltown Police Department, and Sgt. Wayne Canastra and Detective Nicholas Chiorello of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office. They were assisted by Deputy Fire Marshal James Rinker and Deputy Fire Marshal Scott Volkmann of the Middlesex County Fire Marshal’s Office.
During the investigation, it was determined that Piciullo allegedly set the fire around 5:24 a.m. on Sept. 5, according to the statement. The fire destroyed the entire 1½-story house and resulted in the death of a dog.
The Milltown Fire Department and North Brunswick Fire Department assisted with gaining control of the blaze and preventing it from spreading to nearby houses, officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Johnson at 732-828-1100 or Chiorello at 732-745-3848.


The small family-owned operation Brompton Road in Western Australia has come up with an innovative solution to hauling train wheels, with a couple of 2006 Kenworth K104s leading the way. Peter and Di Schlenk write
A small family-owned operation WA has come up with an innovative solution to hauling train wheels
Brompton Road is a small family-owned and operated company based in Bullsbrook, 25km north of Perth on the Great Northern Highway.
Charlie Berne and his wife Julie started Brompton in the early 1970s. Today the couple’s two sons Jason and Tim are an integral part of the business.
Deals On Wheels recently caught up with
Charlie and Jason at the BP Kewdale truck stop. The boys had just grabbed some breakfast and were about to head off to unload.
“Except for a brief time offshore I have been with dad since the day I left school in ’95,” Jason says. “That’s over 20 years now.”
Like many operators Brompton Road saw the advantages of specialising. The company has been working for rail companies for the past 30 years.
“I should call myself ‘TNT’, trains not trucks,” Charlie laughs. “We are not general carriers, we just specialise in looking after our customers’ needs.”
For Brompton Road that has meant the need to solve a few tricky problems while working out transport solutions for their clients. The additional services means it’s more than just a transport company.
One of Brompton Road’s big jobs is hauling rail wagons from Adelaide to Port Hedland. Charlie explains that the pilot vehicle costs on that job alone were $280,000.
Charlie and Julie organised four trucks to carry out the work, with the help of a subbies, two of which were towing Brompton trailers.
Jason explains that they would unload the cars, take the bogies out of the bins and put them on the track. “We hook up the hoses and either Charlie or Julie do a brake test,” he says.
“So we commissioned the cars and that is why we secured getting the job and with the combination that Jason’s got, we go up with three wagons and were only using 150 litres more fuel than the trucks carrying two.
“Life is full of challenges and we love challenges.” Brompton’s most recent challenge was moving railway wheels. The wheels come out of Newcastle to Brompton’s yard before being trucked north.
“It is a new concept because, previously the wheels were in skip bins unrestrained. The new ‘pallets’ allow the old wheels to stand up,” Charlie says.
“Everything is held and restrained; we have a patent pending on this system. We think it is pretty good and it’s so simple and yet works so well.
“The wheels go into the robots lying down and they come out of the robot standing up and that’s how we designed it.”
Despite their hands-on work, Charlie and Jason both agree that Julie is the backbone of the company.
“She does everything,” Jason says. “Mum cooks for us, does the paperwork, the finances and drives a truck, and she keeps us all honest.
“For some families it doesn’t work, but for us I think it is the feature of our business. We all work together for a common good.”
The Brompton Road fleet, which was all bought new, consists of five trucks – a Kenworth for each member of the family and an old Mack Valueliner which is at home in the shed being restored.
“She will look like new after a while,” Charlie states. “We always have a truck being refurbished and rebuilt … we don’t buy second hand.
“We pride ourselves on our maintenance, that’s why our trucks look like new,” he adds.
Jason’s Kenworth K104, despite clocking up 1.7 million km, looks to be well kept, although Charlie admits his K104 is looking “a bit daggy at the moment”.
“I’m doing a lot of maintenance and I have to prioritise; and maintenance comes before beauty.
“I’m always on their backs saying it’s alright to spend a couple of hours on your truck making it look good.
“You must spend a few hours of maintenance, even if you are only under there smoking a cigarette and just having a look.”
As an example, Charlie retells the experience of driving one of his trucks over a shaker at Marulan. The truck was seven years old and Charlie asked them to put it through the ringer to see how good his maintenance regime was. “It came out with one light on the rear not working,” he says. “It was daytime and I check my lights before dark.
“The officer said it was still a fault and I told him I’d fix it straightaway, which I did.
“I said to him that just because it has a WA plate on the front doesn’t mean that all trucks from WA are heaps of garbage.”
The innovative trailers behind Jason’s Kenworth are the first of two, with another couple arriving shortly. They have been refurbished and rebrushed, with new electrical, hoses and air, bearings and valves.
Paul Elsden Transport Equipment does the trailer refurbishment and Charlie says the company was surprised at the good condition of the brakes.
“I was asked when I last changed them and I replied I hadn’t. That trailer was a 2002 and had done 960,000km,” he says.
Charlie and Jason are quick to point to the excellent condition of the deck on both trailers.
“Our trailers are all the same, not beaten or bashed,” Jason says.
“We treat our gear with respect and you get the best out of it.
“Dad has drummed it into us over the years and it certainly has paid off.”
When Charlie is out on the road his priority is to check the rig whenever he gets out of the truck, and again before he climbs back in.
“When I am hauling a load I’m looking and checking under the truck for any water or oil.
“Then I go for a bit of a walk around, checking tarps and turntables. The last thing is the oil and away you go,” he says.
Charlie says they pride themselves on their gear and having a professional setup. “We have a good reputation with these companies,” he adds.
“I still love what we do and do it to the best of our ability, all of us, the whole family.
“We are in it as one.”
We treat our gear with respect.

Introduction: How to Incorporate Nails Into Polymer Clay Creations
Hello, This instructable will show you how to incorporate nails into your polymer clay creations, Hardware nails can be used in a variety of ways for polymer clay creations, uses such as Stems, Spikes, Legs, Horns, and so on. Here's a list of materials used in this tutorial, Super Sculpey Firm or any other strong polymer clay, Polymer clay glue I suggest Sculpey bake & bond, Grip-Rite Bright Finish 3b 1-1/4 Nails, and an Oven capable of reaching temperatures over (250°F) (121°C). WARNING Nails Are Sharp And Pointy Be Cautious.
Begin with your preferred polymer clay I suggest using a strong polymer clay like Super Sculpey Firm wich is less likely to become brittle in the baking process. After you have selected your clay, begin to sculpt the basic form of your creation.
Once you're satisfied with the basic form, start to add a hole for each place where you want the nail to be inserted, When you are finished with the holes you can then add a small amount of clay glue into the holes for the nails can stay in place, Then insert the nails into the holes.
After you've inserted the nails, Begin to surround the bottom of the nail with small amounts of polymer clay, To give the nail more support and to fill in the hole, Once you're done surrounding the bottom of the nail with clay, start to smoothen the area with the added clay by using a tool or your finger.
Now you can start to add the final adjustments and details to your creation, Once you're satisfied with your creation, Add some supports under the nails for they won't fall or warp the surrounding clay in the baking process, I recommend using aluminum foil for the supports. Then bake it in the oven for 15-30 minutes at (250°F) (121°C), optional Once it's done baking and still warm you can place your creation in water to cool and harden it instantly.
Step 5: Congratulations
Your nail incorporated polymer clay creation is now complete! Thank you for viewing my instructable.

TED. Sep 26, 2013
In 1900, only 3% of Americans practiced professions that were deemed “cognitively demanding.”
Today, 35% of us do, and we have all learned to be flexible in the way that we think about problems.
In this fascinating and fast-paced spin through the cognitive history of the 20th century, moral philosopher James Flynn makes the case that changes in the way we think have had surprising (and not always positive) consequences.

The generator at Freedom Farm, the Living Fuels headquarters at Hockwold, is based on the model of decentralized electricity generation being pioneered by sister company Living Power.
Living Power is meeting a growing demand for decentralized, carbon-neutral electricity at industrial and commercial sites. To understand the impact of the Freedom Farm generator, it is important to know the latest DTI household electricity consumption figures. They show that in a typical year households in the UK use an average of 4.6MWh of electricity.
On that basis the output from the Hockwold generator is equivalent to the annual needs of approximately 760 homes.
A quarter of this generator’s power is used industrially to power all operations at Freedom Farm, and the balance goes into the local electricity distribution network which serves the Hockwold and Brandon area.
At the 2001 census Hockwold had 521 households; the electricity exported by Living Fuels into the distribution network is equivalent to the annual needs of approximately 570 households.


Reggie Jackson apparently has chosen to return to the Yankees this weekend rather than attend the Hall of Fame ceremonies.
"We are not expecting him. He always has the option to change plans and attend of course,'' said Brad Horn, senior director of communications for the Hall of Fame.
Can't say that's a surprise. The Yankees pay Jackson about $750,000 a year.
That's the main point, of course, but it'll be easier to face Alex Rodriguez, a non-confrontational sort, than the wrath of a bunch of Hall of Famers upset over Jackson questioning whether they belong to be there.
The Yankees the Hall of Famer "on ice'' after Jackson said disaparaging things about A-Rod, Andy Pettitte and several Hall of Famers. They told him he could return to the team this weekend for its games at Oakland, the site of Jackson's first baseball heroics.

SW FL-Bonita beach: Nice redfish inshore; red grouper offshore
<p>Labor Day, 9/7/15, I had a morning backwater trip scheduled with Dave Schwanke, his daughter Kaline, and Kaline''s boyfriend, Tommy. But, when I awoke to get ready for that trip, I heard thunder rolling in the distance. Radar confirmed a mess of thunderstorms rolling in from the gulf. So we postponed our planned 8AM departure to about 10:30AM, which is when the storms finally moved far enough inland to allow us to enjoy a safe and comfortable, catch-and-release fishing trip in Estero Bay. We fished with live shrimp and pinfish, along the mangrove islands and rocks in various spots along the east wall of the bay. The group caught and released three would-be-keeper redfish, two sheepshead to 14 inches and a two-foot bonnethead shark.
Leo Castro fished Estero Bay's backwaters on a catch-and-release trip with me Saturday morning, 9/12. We fished along the east wall of the bay, as well on the inside of the channel north of New Pass. We released seven keeper-sized mangrove snapper, a 19-inch crevalle jack, a stingray, a 23-inch sailcat, two 22-inch snook, and an over-slot redfish at 27 1/2 inches. The jack and the redfish bit pinfish, while the rest of the catches bit live shrimp.
Joe Watton, his daughter, Elizabeth, and friend, Loren Raap, fished the west side of Estero Bay with me, between New Pass and Big Hickory Pass, on Tuesday morning, 9/15, just ahead of the rain that arrived around 1PM. They caught a keeper redfish at 21 inches, along with a keeper mangrove snapper, and released a couple of stingray, all on live shrimp.
Saturday morning, 9/19, the first dry day we had in a good while, Connor and Hannah Beverly and friends, Kayla and Kevin Reilly, headed 22 miles offshore with me, where they fished with live shrimp and pinfish. A pinfish yielded the bigger of two keeper red grouper, a 24-inch, which bit on Hannah's line. Kayla caught a 21-inch keeper red grouper on live shrimp. The group also caught a dozen keeper lane snapper, along with a 13-inch, keeper mangrove snapper, and a brace of 14-inch triggerfish, all on shrimp. They released a few mangrove snapper shorts, along with twenty-five red grouper shorts to 19 ½ inches.
The photo shown is of angler Leo Castro, with a 27 ½-inch bull redfish, caught on a pinfish and released in Estero Bay on an inshore trip this month.

Born and raised in Brazil until 2009, when I was given the opportunity to move to the U.S.A. It was during this transition that I discovered my passion: makeup. At present, I am a self-taught make up artist but this isn’t the only thing I brand myself as. I am also an aspiring entrepreneur and a creative director who can also edit and retouch photos. I pride myself on staying open to learning new things and new experiences.
This feeling of fulfillment is pretty new to me. I have never had a dream job growing up or wished anything big for my life. Today, I am 26 years old and I can finally say I have found myself and my happiness. If I could give just one person life changing advice it would be: “Dream big, work hard, and believe in yourself.”

Editor’s note: A prior version of this story incorrectly spelled Lee Sedol’s name.
Advantage: artificial intelligence.
After what was described as a “neck-and-neck” battle, a computer has beaten the human champion of board game Go in a history-making first round.
AlphaGo—a program developed about two years ago by Google Inc. GOOGL, -2.03% -owned artificial intelligence firm DeepMind Technologies—beat world Go champion Lee Sedol from South Korea on Wednesday.
Go is one of China’s oldest board games, played on a grid of black lines with white and black “stones.” The objective is to surround a bigger area of the board with more stones than the opponent. Computer mastery, and human mastery, are considered feats because of the number of possible board positions.
Here’s what the human-to-human game looks like, albeit smaller humans, during the World Elementary School Student Go Game in July 2005:
Wednesday’s was the first of five AI-versus-human matches.
Demis Hassabis, founder and CEO of Google DeepMind recapped the game in a post on the Google Asia Pacific Blog: “They were neck-and-neck for its entirety, in a game filled with complex fighting. Lee Sedol made very aggressive moves but AlphaGo did not back down from the fights. AlphaGo took almost all of its time compared with Lee Sedol who had almost 30 minutes left on the clock.”
#AlphaGo WINS!!!! We landed it on the moon. So proud of the team!! Respect to the amazing Lee Sedol too— Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) March 9, 2016
There it is, AlphaGo wins the first game pic.twitter.com/KMmggZEDwQ— David Keohane (@DavidKeo) March 9, 2016
DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman gleefully tweeted out that the group has now “made history”:
Huge milestone in AI! AlphaGo beats the world champion Lee Sedol! We made history! What an incredible moment! :-) pic.twitter.com/Un4imciEYS— Mustafa Suleyman (@mustafasuleymn) March 9, 2016
Along with some tweets of the “control room” for AlphaGo:
The AlphaGo control room! Truly nail biting! :-) pic.twitter.com/qXHtD7KlCc— Mustafa Suleyman (@mustafasuleymn) March 9, 2016
And a press hoard:
The press room is totally packed! :-) pic.twitter.com/AEvpQMge3y— Mustafa Suleyman (@mustafasuleymn) March 9, 2016
A live-streamed version of Wednesday’s first match can be watched here, though we should warn you it’s three hours long:
Apparently, AlphaGo left quite an impression on Go champ Lee in that first round
Go master says he was stunned by some of AlphaGo's moves. "It placed the stones in such unconventional places." pic.twitter.com/bQgENE8x2K— Jonathan Cheng (@JChengWSJ) March 9, 2016
At stake is $1 million in prize money for the winner, but if AlphaGo wins, prize money will be donated to UNICEF, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and Go societies. AlphaGo is a returning champ of sorts, having beat the European Go champion Fan Hui five to zero last October, though the result was only made public in January.
A victory to some, but to others, the whole AI concept now has just gotten a little creepier:
“AI is creeping closer and closer” news of the day: Google’s AlphaGo has just beaten a top human player at Go for the first time ever.— Tommaso Checchi (@_tomcc) March 9, 2016

Have you tried soaking it down, wrapping it in a towel to remove excess water then laying it out and shaping it square?
I love the pocket! That is a cool addition!
BuckeyeMom wrote:I did dampen it. I put in the rinse cycle in the washer. That worked out fine. Got everything wet and spun out the excess. Then, I put it on the floor on top of a plastic sheet and towels. I also had the overhead fan going over night. It dried in time. My grandson loves it.

1937 Ohio River Flood
January 1937 is the wettest month in history for Cincinnati, with a record rainfall of 13.68 inches. For perspective, the average January rainfall is 3.26 inches. Most of the rain fell in a 12 day period from January 13-24.[i]
The record river crest was 79.9 feet on January 26, 1937. The Ohio River was in flood stage from Huntington, West Virginia to its confluence with the Mississippi River. Along the Ohio River, an estimated 1 million people were left homeless. In the Cincinnati Tri-State area 100,000 were homeless. Overall, 385 people died, although only 2 died in the Cincinnati area.[ii]
The official crest of the flood is listed at 79.99 feet and has long been the subject of speculation and debate. According to rumor, but never been proven, the odd number of 79.99 was that if the official height had reached 80 feet, double indemnity clauses in some insurance contracts would have been triggered and the companies involved would probably been thrown into bankruptcy.[iii]
All of this devastation occurred during the Great Depression. Many were already out of work, and many of those that still had jobs were cut off from transportation. Mail, telephone, and other services were scarce or non-existent.
In 1937, Pierce was still a largely rural and agricultural township, except for along Ohio Pike (SR 125) and Amelia. However, these historic pictures of the Clermont Inn, which used to exist on Old US 52 (Kellogg Ave) between Nine Mile Tobasco Road and 10 Mile Road (SR 749), give an idea of how high the water rose in January 1937.
Beginning as a picnic spot, Parkers Grove, in 1870, it was later renamed Ohio Grove – The Coney Island of the West. In 1896, the original Island Queen, holding 3,000 passengers, began servicing the park. In 1911, a carousel and the first roller coaster were installed. More attractions and features were added until it closed at the end of 1971, drawing 2.75 million visitors that year, to be replaced by Kings Island.
The 1937 flood put the amusement park under 28 feet of water. The park was able to reopen on schedule that year after spending $300,000 rebuilding the park. [iv]
New Richmond was nearly wiped out by the 1937 flood. By late February of 1937, the Clermont Sun reported that “New Richmond suffers worst of all the towns along the river, with 205 houses off their foundations; 45 disappeared altogether. The town had a total of 415 homes.”[v]
People walked miles to get water from springs in 5 gallon cans and then boiled it before drinking since both public water systems and wells were under water. The local funeral home kept seven bodies upstairs since high water and saturated ground made it impossible to bury them. By mid February, telephone service was restored and 150 WPA workers were cleaning up to 9 houses per day.
