MILWAUKEE -- We've all been there. Enjoyed a little too much food -- and Boom! Welcome bloated belly. Registered dietitian Lisa Grudzielanek with Your Tasty Life joins Real Milwaukee with eight tricks to help you feel comfortable in no time.
SLOW DOWN & CHEW FOOD
• About half of gas in the digestive system is swallowed air from eating too fast, chewing gum, using straws or chewing on candy.
• Overeating is probably the most common cause of bloating. Smaller portions should ease the bloat.
SKIP FATTY MEALS
• It slows down the speed at which food can leave the stomach and enter the small digestion.
LIMIT FERMENTABLE SUGARS
• Experiment with limiting dried fruit, apples, garlic, onion, beans and wheat to see if that makes a difference.
DITCH CARBONATED BEVERAGES
• They add gas to your system and increase bloating.
• It alleviates gas by relaxing the digestive tract and boosting normal peristalsis
• Ginger is a powerful digestive aid and can provide relief from bloating.
• Digestive enzymes are small proteins that act on specific molecules within foods to break them down.

The River by Peter Heller
TWO FRIENDS Wynn and Jack have been best friends since their first day of college, brought together by their shared love of books and the great outdoors.
THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME When they decide to take time off university and canoe down the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate the ultimate wilderness experience. No phones. No fellow travellers. No going back.
A HELLISH RIDE But as a raging wildfire starts to make its way towards them, their expedition becomes a desperate race for survival. And when a man suddenly appears, claiming his wife has vanished, the fight against nature’s destructive power becomes a much deadlier game of cat and mouse.

I made this for my son’s 3rd grade class but I think this maybe to “babyish” so hopefully you can put it to good use. I think this turned out adorable and it will be super easy to put together!
This is perfect for all my teacher friends or moms who have a holiday gathering and are looking for party favors. Oh and I also thought they would be great stocking stuffers! Since we home school every activity turns into an educational activity so here you have R is for red and reindeer!
We make our play dough because it’s just so easy to throw together but of course you can just buy red play dough.
Christmas Party Favors: Rudolph Play Dough
- Rudolph Printable (download here for free:Rudolph party favor
- mini play dough containers (affiliate link)
or make your own play dough
1. Divide the dough into small baggies. I personally like the look for small batches of dough for rudolph’s nose.
2. Cut out a hole where the nose is and run the play dough baggie through it.
3. Tape the other end tight so the dough doesn’t dry out.
You can also use the printables as Christmas cards and I love that they are two options in Spanish or English.

Science Daily here reports : “Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. “
Science Daily adds : “A puzzling, decade-long slowdown in summer warming across Greenland has been explained by researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan. Their observational analysis and computer simulations revealed that changes in sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles to the south, trigger cooler summer temperatures across Greenland. The results, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment , will help improve future predictions of Greenland ice sheet and Arctic sea ice melting in coming decades.”
Greenland GC-Net Swiss Camp JJA summer temperatures. Source: Hanna et al, 2020. Temperatures have dropped off rapidly since 2012. Cropped from Klimaschau .
Apparently this is connected to changes to the El Niño climate pattern in the Pacific, say the researchers, and these powerful Pacific cycles have ramifications for weather and climate patterns around the globe.
“The findings, and the slowdown in Greenland’s summertime warming, do not undermine the seriousness of climate change or the need to tackle greenhouse gas emissions,” Matsumura insists. But the scientists admit that the cooler summers in Greenland have been unexpected They also need to need to start admitting that they’ve been severely underestimating these powerful natural oceanic cycles, naively thinking that CO2 drives the whole show.
“We expect that global warming and ice sheet melting in Greenland and the rest of the Arctic will accelerate even further in the future due to the effects of anthropogenic warming,” Matsumura says.
And Matsumura will keep telling us that – until, that is, the next natural cycles bury man’s modest impact once again. A trace gas is no match for the gigantic, still mysterious thermal fluxes of the oceans…a phenomenon for […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!

I was invited to a bbq this weekend and wanted to bring along a dessert… both the hostess and another friend are gluten intolerant – and I’ve already baked my gluten free brownies for both of them… it was time to try something different.
I pulled out my copy of the golden book of patisserie and discovered their chocolate cream dacquoise recipe… meringue disks and chocolate cream. I used some dark chocolate toblerones in my chocolate cream – adding a little twist to this recipe. Really simple but impressive looking… not only did it turn out great but everyone at the table enjoyed indulging in it!
Toblerone Cream Meringue
6 egg whites
1/8 tsp vanilla salt
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. ground almonds
1 tbsp cornstarch
Preheat your oven to 300 F. Grab a couple of cookie trays and line with parchment paper. Now, trace 3 x 9-inch circles… I traced the circles with a black sharpy and then flipped the parchment paper over – you can still see the guide without having to worry about marking your baked goods ;0)
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with your electric mixer at medium speed until frothy. Then increase the speed and add the sugar – you want to get stiff peaks… beat until you can hold your bowl of meringue over your head and it doesn’t fall all out :0)
Put the ground almonds and cornstarch in the middle of the meringue and fold in with a large rubber spatula. Fill a LARGE Ziploc bag with the meringue… remember to zip it up completely (I didn’t and a decent dollop of meringue ended up on my kitchen floor). Cut the edge of one of the corners, and following your traced rounds fill in the circles completely. I actually had enough meringue to be able to make 4 disks – even though I only made 3.
Bake in the oven for about 75 minutes – you want them to be crisp. Remove from the heat and cool on the cookie trays for 10 minutes, then remove from the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack.
Once your meringues are cooling on the wire rack start making your chocolate cream.
8 oz dark toblerone (I used the mini ones)
1 1/2 c. butter, softened
6 egg yolks
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. water
2 tsp vanilla
In a double boiler over simmering water melt your mini toblerones. Remove from heat and set aside.
Over medium heat and in a deep saucepan combine the brown sugar and water together. Now, don’t stir the mixture, just allow it to get to that boiling point (that’s why the saucepan needs to be deep, so that it doesn’t overflow). You want it to get to the point known as the “soft-ball” stage. Take a glass of COLD water and drop some of the syrup into the glass. It should come together once it hits the cold water, and when you remove it from the water you can still mold it. That’s when you know you have reached the right stage.
While the sugar syrup is boiling away on your stove top, beat your butter in a bowl until it becomes creamy.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until they thicken.
At this point your syrup should be ready, so remove it from the heat and slowly beat it into the yolks – do this slowly so that you can temper the yolks and prevent curdling. Once the syrup and the yolks are combined, add the butter, followed by the chocolate and vanilla. Beat until it cools down. You want the cream to thicken so that it is easily spreadable – while ensuring that it doesn’t run all over the plate.
Place one meringue disk on your serving platter and top with 1/3 of the chocolate cream. Repeat with the two other disks. I then topped the top layer of toblerone cream with slivered almonds. Place in the fridge to set. Allow to return to room temperature before you serve it.
We got 8 pieces out of this baby. It was really delightful!
*Note: I had about 3/4 c. of extra toblerone cream left over, so I packed it up and put it in the freezer. I’m sure I’ll be able to find another use for it soon…

A Checklist For Evaluating Early-stage Startups
How do you spot the tell-tale signs in a startup that give away a positive growth trajectory?
Here's a summarized checklist to help you evaluate startups and a small test at the end to help you test your newfound cheatcode :).
How to pick and choose...
Investing in startups comes with the risk that can only be neutralized if you have a good vetting process in place. Here are a few things you should keep in mind while evaluating an early-stage startup -
1. Evaluate Startup Idea
The first thing an investor must look at, irrespective of the revolutionary idea, is whether the startup idea is feasible and viable? How does it aim to disrupt the market? Every seasoned investor has an investment thesis critical to their investment strategy, and much relevance is implied to a ‘startup idea’ in every investor’s investment thesis.
It incorporates a combination of the following elements –
- Type of company (e.g., B2B, B2C)
- Target market/industry
- Stage of the company (e.g., idea, seed, growth, etc.)
- Company location
- Founder demographics
2. Ascertain Credibility Of The Team
While evaluating the startup, knowing people who have experience working in the same niche is an added bonus for many investors. You want to ensure that the team responsible for managing and running the startup is competent and has skin in the game.
This is where you try to get a measure of the Founder-Market Fit.
3. Identify Market Size
- How big is the market for the product?
- Does it solve a significant problem?
- Will customers pay for the solution?
Before investing, it is essential to understand the market size for the solution a startup is providing. If the market is small and the cost of the solution is high, then the possibility of scaling in the future minimizes the startup's success.
Therefore, it becomes ever so important to identify the market size and how well it stacks up in the market or against its rivals.
4. Minimum Viable Product Ready - Traction
Is the product ready? If yes, does the product witness any traction? How well does it fare against its possible competition?
Most angel investors look for startups that have demonstrated marketable products or services. If it doesn’t, knowing the market size and the possibilities of serving the larger audience with affordable solutions make it enticing.
5. Scope Of Revenue
How a startup intends to acquire customers and generate revenue? This can be answered by looking at the startup's pitch deck that contains the channels a startup will be employing (Go-to-market strategy) to sell off the services. The pitch deck will also include the prices of the service and the margin per sale against the expenditure.
Based on it, you can evaluate whether the startup has a sound business model to generate revenue.
6. Future Roadmap (Scalability)
Scalability is one of the most critical aspects of evaluating a new startup. Of course, the word itself has different meanings depending on the context, but it is generally used to describe how well a startup can grow in the startup ecosystem.
How a startup intends to grow the user base from 100 to 10000?
There are several ways to evaluate a business's potential for success in terms of scalability. Valuing the most scalable businesses in terms of their market capitalization and revenue growth is one way to measure how well they will do in their endeavour to grow.
Catch our latest deals HERE to test this checklist!
Remember, assessing a fledgling venture requires the finesse of a sommelier savoring the finest vintage. It's not just about checking boxes; it's about understanding the delicate dance between potential and peril. With each item ticked off, you'll unravel the startup's enigmatic veil, revealing its true colors. 1stCheque is happy to be a part of this journey with you.

NZUSA talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk
NZUSA talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk says Alliance Party
Alliance Party Media Release - For Immediate Release - Friday, October 31, 2008
Alliance Co-leader, Andrew McKenzie said he was disappointed that the New Zealand Union of Students Associations didn't walk the walk when it came to the promotion of those political parties which supported its ideals.
"While NZUSA touts its commitment to "fighting for a universal, free, publicly funded and high quality tertiary education system at every level" and that public tertiary education "â€¦must be fully funded by the government through taxation revenue to ensure it is barrier freeâ€¦" it studiously does not provide support to those parties such as the Alliance, which has strongly supported those principles since its formation in 1992," says Mr McKenzie.
The Alliance as part of the 1999 - 2002 Alliance-Labour Government had been responsible for a Parliamentary Select Committee which examined student debt and tertiary funding. The outcome from that committee was that there were no fee increases for students for three years.
The Alliance was the only party that was prepared to stand up at a recent NZUSA organised forum in Dunedin and support free and open education, the immediate implementation of universal student allowances at the rate of the Unemployment Benefit and the elimination and the immediate write off of student loans. All of which is NZUSA policy," he added.
Despite the fact that the Alliance had worked tirelessly in student's interests, it was not mentioned in NZUSA voting guides and students were encouraged only to give their support to the existing parliamentary parties in the upcoming elections.
Mr McKenzie commented that a number of student leaders appeared to support the principle of voting for the lesser of two evils in this case, Labour and the Greens.
However, voting for the lesser evil, Mr McKenzie said, was still voting for evil.
"Neither Labour nor the Greens fully supported the concept of free education, with the Greens supporting only a partial write-off of student debt and a bonding system and Labour supporting a system of fair education, not free education."
People need to vote with their conscience. If students truly believe in the ideals of free education then they should support the Alliance, a party that is fully committed to it, Mr McKenzie believes.

The longer you stare up at the mountain, the more overwhelming your task seems. In this situation, it's very easy to start procrastinating by finding other things to do. Procrastination is one of the major obstacles that you need to overcome in order to make your dreams a reality. The secret to overcoming procrastination is to stop looking up at the mountain and start looking down at your wheel barrow. Let me explain… When you look at a complex task in its entirety, it is very easy to become paralyzed by the sheer amount of work that you need to do. Your mind starts telling you that ‘it’s impossible’ and you spiral downward into a sea of negativity. www.AnthonyFernando.com 4 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 The way to overcome this paralysis is to change your focus and stop thinking about the overall task you need to complete. Instead, just concentrate on something you know you can achieve. Let’s look at an example to see how this works in the real world. Peter is facing the ‘mountain’ of writing a PhD thesis. When he thinks about writing a 500 page document, it just seems too overwhelming and so day-after-day he procrastinates and avoids getting started. Each morning, Peter asks himself, “Can I write a 500 page document?” and his internal answer is “NO WAY!” so he procrastinates and looks around for other things to do – He takes his kids to school, goes to the gym, does the shopping. Anything to avoid the mountain that is sitting in his study. Finally, Peter realizes that the best way to overcome procrastination is to stop looking up at the mountain and start looking down at his wheelbarrow. Instead of asking himself, “Can I write a 500 page document?” he begins his day by asking, “Can I work on my PhD without being distracted for 1 hour?” – his internal answer to this question is “Yes – I can easily do 1 hour” Peter blocks out all distractions and works on his PhD for 1 hour. At the end of the hour he feels like he has made a small amount of progress. He asks himself again, “Can I work on my PhD without being distracted for 1 hour?” – Since he has already done this, he knows the answer is ‘Yes’ so he does it again. www.AnthonyFernando.com 5 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 By the end of the day, Peter has completed four hours of effective work on his PhD. He is tempted to look up at the mountain but he knows it is much better if he just focuses on moving his wheelbarrow one hour at a time. After a month of following this routine, Peter takes a look at his mountain and sees that his 1 hour blocks of action have made a dramatic impact. This gives him even more confidence and momentum to keep moving forward. Step-by-step, one hour at a time, Peter moves his mountain. If you are currently trying to move a mountain in your life, here are the steps you need to take in order to overcome procrastination and get the job done! Action Steps (1) Stop thinking about the overall task you need to complete. (2) Instead, focus on a small component of the task that you know you can achieve. (3) Ask yourself, “Can I work on this task without being distracted for 1 hour?” (4) Forget about everything else other than working hard for 1 hour. (5) At the end of the hour, ask yourself the same question again. (6) Move your mountain one hour at a time. (7) Enjoy the amazing sense of achievement that comes from completing a difficult task. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 6 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Where To Find Everything You Have Ever Wanted Imagine for a moment that you are about to stand up in front of two thousand people and give a presentation….how would you feel? We are all familiar with how it feels to step out of our 'comfort zones'. Whether it's giving a presentation, asking someone out on a date or starting a new business, the feeling in each case is very similar. If you're like most people, you feel queasy in the stomach, your mouth goes dry, your knees feel weak and your heart starts beating rapidly. Generally most people do everything they can to avoid this feeling because it feels uncomfortable. But to avoid this feeling is a mistake…and here's why: “Everything you want in life is waiting for you outside of your comfort zone” - Anthony Fernando When we stay safe inside our comfort zones, we limit ourselves to experiencing the things that are already part of our life. The only way to change your circumstances is to venture out of your comfort zone into the Possibility Zone, because it is here that you will find everything you have ever wanted. www.AnthonyFernando.com 7 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Whether it's better health, love, money, or a personal goal that is important to you, the life you want is waiting for you outside of your comfort zone. The only way to expand your comfort zone is to bite the bullet and step out into the possibility zone. Initially this can be uncomfortable but with repeated effort, your comfort zone will slowly expand to include the things that you really want from life. So next time you experience that queasy feeling of stepping out of your comfort zone, don't shy away from it, instead, embrace the feeling for what it truly is - An indication that you are taking a step towards creating the life of your dreams. In fact the more often you venture out of your comfort zone and experience that feeling, the faster you will make your dreams a reality. Action Steps: (1) Review your goals and identify an action that will take you out of your comfort zone. (2) Commit to taking that action as soon as possible. (3) As you take action, notice what it feels like to step out of your comfort zone. (4) Practice embracing the feeling of stepping into your possibility zone as a positive indication that you are moving closer to making your dreams a reality. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 8 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Seven Life Lessons You don't need to travel hundreds of miles or spend thousands of dollars to find a great life coach. In fact, you can find some of the best life coaches in the world much closer to home than you may think… Who are these expert life coaches? The expert life coaches I'm talking about are - Children! Children come into the world with a positive 'can-do' mindset that we as adults can learn a lot from. In this edition of Dare To Dream I'd like to share with you seven important life lessons I've learnt from children. (1) Live In The Moment It never ceases to amaze me how quickly children can make the transition from being upset to being happy. Underlying these instantaneous mood swings is the ability to truly live in the moment. Children don't spend hours reflecting on the past or worrying about the future. They live life as it happens. As adults we often carry emotional baggage from our previous experiences as well as fears for our future. It's little wonder that we struggle to enjoy each moment simply for what it is. www.AnthonyFernando.com 9 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Life Lesson #1 Stop analyzing the past and worrying about the future and choose to live in the moment. (2) Give Yourself Time To Learn To put myself through University, I used to teach the clarinet and saxophone to students of all ages. One of the major differences between my young students and my adult students was that the children gave themselves time to learn. When they made a mistake, they simply laughed and moved on. The adult students on the other hand, often got worried and frustrated by their mistakes and berated themselves for not being perfect. Children understand that it takes time to become good at something and they know that making mistakes is part of the learning process. Life Lesson #2 When you are learning a new skill or activity, give yourself time to learn. Try not to get worried or frustrated when you make mistakes, instead, try and see the humor in the situation and enjoy the journey. (3) Believe Anything Is Possible This is an area in which children easily out do most adults. Children truly believe that anything is possible and they seem to naturally understand that belief is the secret ingredient for achieving success in every area of your life. www.AnthonyFernando.com 10 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Life Lesson #3 Believe in your dreams with a ‘Child Like’ faith (4) Laugh Out Loud One of the things children enjoy more than anything else is to laugh and giggle. Some of my happiest memories are of laughing to the point of tears with my nephews over some silly incident or comment. For some reason, as we grow older we seem to repress our sense of fun in preference for something called 'maturity'. Personally, I would much rather laugh out loud! Life Lesson #4 Seize every opportunity you get to laugh out loud. (5) Don't Be Afraid To Love Children are much more likely to say, "I love you" than most adults. They do not think about or analyze the long term consequences of making this statement. When they feel a sense of love for someone, they simply let them know. Life Lesson #5 When you love someone, let them know. www.AnthonyFernando.com 11 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 (6) Forgive Quickly And Completely Children rarely carry a grudge for very long. They may get angry or upset but when they forgive someone, they do it quickly and completely. Adults on the other hand are quite capable of carrying a grudge for many years and even when they do forgive someone, it is often a case of, "I'll forgive but I'll never forget!" Life Lesson #6 If you’re carrying a grudge – let it go and move on. A grudge gets heavier the longer you carry it. (7) Never Lose Your Sense Of Wonder Children don't take the world around them for granted. They possess a wonderful sense of curiosity and fun. A few weeks ago I was in a park with my nephew David. I was chasing him around an oak tree and each time I changed direction and caught him, he burst into a fit of giggles. Eventually we collapsed on the ground and looked up at the sunlight sparkling through the leaves. As I lay on the ground, I reached over and picked up an acorn and said, "David, did you know that this big tree grew from a little seed like this?" My nephew thought about this for a moment and then his eyes widened and he asked, "How?" I looked at the acorn in my hand and then up at the huge tree above us and the amazement that my nephew had shown suddenly hit me too! www.AnthonyFernando.com 12 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Life Lesson #7 Take the time to stop and look at the world around you through the eyes of a child. It really is an amazing place! Action Steps: This week, take a break from the pressures of being an adult and use the seven life lessons above to reconnect with your inner child. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 13 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 How To Beat Self Sabotage One of the biggest obstacles on the road to success is self sabotage. Self sabotage occurs when you know what you want to achieve but for some reason, you act in a way that moves you away from your goal instead of towards it. A common example is trying to follow a diet and then sabotaging your efforts by eating too much chocolate, cake, ice cream etc. The secret to eliminating self sabotage is to understand this important fact: “Self sabotage does not occur because you are weak. It occurs because your dream is weak” - Anthony Fernando Self sabotage occurs when a short term craving overrides your long term desire to achieve your dream. Imagine that you are standing between two large magnets. On one side is your dream, and on the other is a temptation that leads to self sabotage. www.AnthonyFernando.com 14 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 In order to resist the attraction of the short term temptation and avoid self sabotage, you need to increase the pulling power of your dream. Here are 10 ways to strengthen your dream in order to combat self sabotage: (1) Place a picture of your dream on the ceiling above your bed so that you see it every morning and every evening before you go to sleep. (2) Place a picture of your dream on the back of your bathroom door. (3) Carry a picture of your dream in your wallet or purse. (4) Place a picture of your dream wherever you are most likely to be tempted. For example, place a picture of your dress on the fridge door. (5) Use the power of public pressure and tell people about your dream. The more you talk about it to others, the stronger your dream becomes. (6) Hook up with a 'dream buddy' - Team up with someone who shares your dream and make a commitment to each other to make your dream a reality. (7) Join a support group - Find an online support group and work with others to create an encouraging and supportive atmosphere. (8) Keep a journal - Record your experiences in a journal or a blog. The more you write, the stronger your dream becomes. www.AnthonyFernando.com 15 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 (9) Associate your dream with a song that you find particularly inspirational. When you are tempted to give in to temptation, listen to your song to rekindle your passion for your dream. (10) When you're face-to-face with temptation, ask yourself what you really want. For example, "What do I want more, this cake or to fit into my new dress?" As you can see, all these techniques are ways to increase your level of focus on your desired outcome. The more you focus on your dream, the stronger it becomes. And the stronger the pull of your dream, the less likely you'll be to succumb to self sabotage. Action Steps: (1) Understand that self sabotage occurs not because you are weak, but rather, because your dream is weak. (2) Take action and use the techniques listed above to strengthen the pulling power of your dream in order to avoid self sabotage. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 16 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 The Power Hour In this article I'd like to share with you a simple but incredibly effective strategy that can instantly double your productivity and help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible. Does the following scenario sound familiar? It's 9.00am and you have a lot of work to do so you get started with the best of intentions. After you've been working for about 10 minutes, a little envelope appears on your computer screen. You open your email program just to check if it's anything important. It's an email from your best friend. After reading the email and sending a quick reply, you get back to work. Five minutes later, you realize that you're thirsty so you get a drink and bump into a friend at the drink fountain. As you get back to your desk the phone rings and you take the call. The caller asks you to email him a report, so you send off the report and notice that your friend has replied to your previous mail. You quickly type a reply to keep the conversation going. Then your mobile phone beeps to indicate an incoming text message. It's a reminder from your husband about dinner at his parent's place. You text him a quick reply to assure him you haven't forgotten. By this time, all that water you drank has kicked in and you need to take a quick bathroom break. When you get back to your desk you notice a small group of people gathered around the adjoining cubicle looking at photos of your colleague's recent trip to Maui. When you finally get back to your computer, you realize that somehow an hour has passed and you've only spent 15 minutes of that time working on your main task. www.AnthonyFernando.com 17 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 As time continues to tick by, your deadline approaches and your stress levels start to rise… While the details may be different, I'm sure many of you can relate to this story. These day's there is no end to the distractions that can and do take us away from completing our most important tasks. So what's the answer? The answer is something I call the 'Power Hour'. Here's how it works: Whenever you need to get an important task done, simply make the decision to have a 'Power Hour' and decide that you will not be distracted by anything during this hour. • • • • • Switch your mobile phone to silent Divert landline calls to message bank Turn off your email notification Make sure that you don't need to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom Let people know that you are not to be disturbed for the next hour Then, get started and give your total undivided attention to the task at hand. Do not pause to check out what people around you are doing or saying. Just do what you have to do. To help you with this process you can either take note of your start time on your watch, or if you get into the practice of scheduling regular Power Hours, you can use a digital egg timer. The best part about this strategy is that by working efficiently you complete the work that you need to do in the shortest possible time and minimize the need to work long hours. This in turn allows you to spend more time with the people you love doing the things you really want to do. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 18 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Letting Go I'm sure you've heard the saying that, "When one door closes, another opens" This saying is true, but it comes with a hidden catch … The person in the picture above is faced with a closed door, but because he refuses to let go of the door in front of him, he cannot see that a new door has opened behind him. Alexander Graham Bell summed this idea up well when he said: “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us” - Alexander Graham Bell What this means in the real world is that when we dwell on things that did not work out, we can often miss out on new opportunities that are waiting for us. For example, imagine that you worked hard on a business deal only to find that things didn't work out the way you anticipated. If you continue to focus on the situation instead of letting it go, you may miss new business opportunities that are waiting for you. www.AnthonyFernando.com 19 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Similarly, when a relationship ends, we can get so caught up in analyzing what went wrong that we can miss the opportunity to develop new relationships. Of course letting go is easier said than done. When a door closes on part of our life it is natural to feel upset and disappointed. As you overcome these feelings it is important to find the courage to let go of the closed door in order to find the new door that is waiting for you. Action Steps: The next time you are faced with a closed door: (1) Give yourself time to recover and find your feet. (2) Make the decision to let go of the closed door. (3) Begin to look for the new door that will lead to the future that is waiting for you. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 20 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 The Habit Escalator It has often been said that success in life comes from developing the right habits. For example, we all know that good health comes from developing the habits of eating well and exercising regularly. The BIG question is - "How do we develop these habits?" Well, I have good news and bad news… The bad news is that developing a new habit IS hard work! The good news is that it is much easier to maintain a habit once you've established it. Here is how I like to think about developing new habits. www.AnthonyFernando.com 21 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Imagine a staircase that has 30 stairs. At the top of the stairs is an escalator that leads to your goal. The hard part of establishing a new habit is to climb the 'stairs of change' so that you can then ride up the 'habit escalator'. What this means in the real world is that if you can make yourself do something every day for 30 days, it will become a habit, and once you've established a habit things become much easier. For example, lets say you wanted to develop the habit of getting up at 6.00am to do some exercise… The first morning your alarm goes off you will probably be tempted to throw your alarm clock against the wall. Think of this as climbing the 'steps of change'. If you commit yourself to taking action for 30 days in a row, you will find that things will get easier. By the 30th day, you will probably find yourself waking up just before your alarm goes off. When this happens, you have reached the top of the stairs and completed the hard work necessary to establish a new habit. At this point, your habit takes over and your action becomes almost second nature. This is the 'habit escalator' which is one of the most effective ways to reach your goals. “We first make our habits, and Then our habits make us.” - John Dryden Unfortunately most people give up while they are still climbing the 'stairs of change' and never get to enjoy riding on the 'habit escalator'. Action Steps 1. Decide on the habits you need to develop in order to achieve your goals. 2. Commit yourself to practicing these habits for 30 days (climb the stairs of change) 3. Jump on the habit escalator and enjoy the ride to success! _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 22 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Words Have Power Words have power, and today I'd like to share with you two words that have the power to change lives. The two words I'm talking about are 'Thank You' In today's hectic society very few people take the time to stop and say thank-you which is unfortunate because as Mother Teresa so eloquently put it … “There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread” - Mother Teresa Here is a true story that demonstrates the power of these two little words. One day I went into the bank to deposit a cheque. There was a long queue and as time ticked by the people in the queue became more and more annoyed. For some reason, there was only one counter available but despite the negative energy of the customers, the young woman behind the counter was doing a fantastic job. I watched as she greeted each customer with a genuine smile and then processed their transactions quickly and efficiently. When it was my turn, I took note of the name on her badge and thanked her for her help. I then went to the information desk and asked for a customer feedback form. www.AnthonyFernando.com 23 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 On the feedback form I wrote something along the lines of: "Today I received exceptional customer service from Michelle Hall at the QLD City branch. Michelle was friendly, efficient and very professional. I commend her on her work ethic and I believe she is a valuable asset to your company. Yours Sincerely, Anthony Fernando" A few weeks later I returned to the bank and Michelle served me once again. As she processed my transaction, she stopped, took a second look at my name and then with a huge smile told me that her manager had read out my customer feedback comments at her recent performance review and that she'd received a promotion. I was delighted to hear that my comments played a small part in her success. Taking the time to recognize excellence and say thank-you is a truly win-win exercise. The person you say thank-you to feels appreciated and at the same time, you receive a burst of positive energy from helping someone feel good about themselves and what they do. Action Steps If you notice someone doing a great job, take the time to recognize their efforts and say thank-you. Here are a couple of ideas that can really make a big impact in the life of others and at the same time will make you feel terrific. (1) Take five minutes to fill out a customer feedback form whenever you receive exceptional service. (2) Send a thank-you email to someone who has helped you at work (3) Send an email to someone just to let them know that they are doing a great job and send a carbon copy (CC) of the email to that person's manager or boss. Remember, little things make a big difference and the words 'Thank-you' can truly change lives. _____ www.AnthonyFernando.com 24 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 A New Perspective Sometimes a simple change of perspective can make all the difference. It can be like the dawn of a new day. In response to the challenges life brings us, it's easy to sometimes view the world from a perspective of survival. From this perspective we often examine situations and ask ourselves, “What can I get from this? What can I take? What can I gain?” This perspective is illustrated by the following picture: www.AnthonyFernando.com 25 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 One of the most powerful secrets for achieving success is to change this perspective and instead, examine the world from a perspective of contribution. Change the questions you ask and instead of asking, "What can I get? What can I take? What can I gain?" Ask, "What can I give? What can I share? What can I contribute?" The most amazing thing about this change of perspective is that the more you contribute to the lives of others, the more you will receive in return. “Life like a mirror, never gives back more than what we put into it” - author unknown For example if you run a business, instead of focusing on "making a sale", change your focus to "helping your customers and making a positive contribution to their life". When you do this, your customers will sense your genuine desire to help them and as a result you will gain more sales. Action Steps: (1) In every situation ask yourself, "What can I give? What can I share? What can I contribute?" (2) Make a contribution to others and enjoy the benefits life sends you in return. www.AnthonyFernando.com 26 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 The Road To Success When you imagine the ‘road to success’, what sort of picture do you see in your mind? Do you imagine a long road that eventually leads you to your desired destination? Today I’d like to share with you a slightly different picture of the road to success. When you understand this picture, you will be much better prepared for your journey. When you first set out on the road to success, it looks something like this: You can see your goal glistening in the distance and it almost seems within your reach. You are excited about heading down the road and making your dream a reality. www.AnthonyFernando.com 27 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 However, a strange thing happens as soon as you take your first step down the road to success. Suddenly, a brick wall appears out of nowhere and blocks your progress. Where these brick walls come from nobody knows, but for some reason they always appear. One of the main reasons people fail to reach their goals in life is that no one has ever told them about the brick walls! Many people are so surprised by the appearance of the wall that they simply stop and give up on their dream. When you are faced with a brick wall on the road to success, you have two options: (1) You can sit down and give up. (2) You can find a way over, around, under or through the wall. If you make it past the first wall, you may catch a glimpse of your goal and realize that it is a little closer, but then inevitably, another brick wall appears out of nowhere. www.AnthonyFernando.com 28 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 No matter what your goal is, it is important to realize that as soon as you begin your journey down the road to success, you will encounter a series of brick walls. The trick is to be prepared for the walls to appear and realize that getting past these obstacles is just part of the journey. This will help you see the brick walls for what they really are – just temporary obstacles that you need to deal with in order to reach your objective. So then - here is what the road to success really looks like. Remember this picture and never let an obstacle stop you from moving forward. www.AnthonyFernando.com 29 Dare To Dream – Volume #1 Always remember that for every problem you encounter, there is a solution - and on the other side of that final wall, your goal is waiting for you. Action Steps (1) Realize that as soon as you start working towards a goal, obstacles will appear. (2) Understand that overcoming these obstacles is part of your journey. (3) When you encounter a brick wall – don’t give up! Look for a way over, around, under or through the wall and continue moving forward! _____________ Well that brings us to the end of Dare To Dream Volume 1.

Donnie Yen Will Fight Jackie Chan in IP MAN 4!
I've enjoyed the hell out of the Ip Man film franchise. Some of the films are better than others, but I have enjoyed the stories that they've told about the legendary martial artist who trained Bruce Lee.
Ip Man 4 is said to follow Bruce Lee to the United States with hopes of opening his own martial arts school. This turns out to be challenging when he offends the locals. It's in this setting that Ip Man (Donnie Yen), comes to Lee’s aid, and "earns the locals’ respect and helps lay the foundations of kung fu in America."
According to Chinese entertainment outlet JayneStars, the film’s biggest highlight is a fight scene in which we see Yen take on Jackie Chan, who plays "a respected Big Brother in Chinatown." That alone is enough to get me excited about seeing this movie! I have no doubt the fight scene between these characters is going to be badass.
Ip Man 4 is being directed by Wilson Yip, and it also stars Scott Akins and Vanness Wu. What do you all think about Donnie Yen sharing a fight scene with Jackie Chan?

SAN JOSE, Calif. — There is no Internet of Things. There's a lot of hype and PowerPoint about the Internet of Things, but it does not exist — yet.
Today a couple dozen Networks (plural) of Things are duking it out in as many market sectors. The typical node on one net doesn't know how to talk to nodes on another net unless it was made by the same company and installed by the same person.
You can view this Web page on your iPhone, Android tablet, Windows PC, Macbook, or Linux workstation because the Internet has a common set of standards for creating, transporting, and rendering content such as IP, HTTP, and HTML. These common standards do not exist in the Internet of Things today. Instead there are many fairly complete and incompatible IoT software stacks, from ANT to Zigbee and Z-Wave.
I have talked to a half dozen IoT experts in the past week, and they are all saying the same thing as Levent Gurgen, a researcher at CEA-Leti involved in two big IoT projects with backing from the European Union:
- IoT covers a large number of domains — smart buildings, home automation, smart cities, and industrial automation systems — and there are many protocols in each of these environments. There is not one common way of communicating among them. This creates vertical silos of application systems that do not interoperate. This is the main roadblock in IoT today.
His colleagues over in the US. see this problem, too. To address it, they are putting together a consortium, calling it the Industrial Internet, a term favored by GE. Unfortunately they see the framework architecture they intend to develop as a competitive advantage for US companies. So much for Levent Gurgen and his partners in Europe and Japan.
I suppose it's only fair. I am told China has its own national IoT initiative based in Wuxi. I'd love to get details on it.

Hush (2016 film)
Hush is a 2016 American slasher film directed and edited by Mike Flanagan, starring Kate Siegel, who also co-wrote the film with Flanagan. The film co-stars John Gallagher Jr., Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan, and Emilia "Emma" Graves. It was jointly produced by Trevor Macy through Intrepid Pictures and Jason Blum through Blumhouse Productions.
|Directed by||Mike Flanagan|
|Music by||The Newton Brothers|
|Edited by||Mike Flanagan|
Maddie Young is a deaf woman and horror writer who lost her abilities to hear and speak after contracting bacterial meningitis at age 13, only to lose both permanently after a botched corrective surgery. Hoping to advance her career as an author, she lives an isolated life in the woods with her cat. Her friend Sarah visits her one evening to return a copy of her book. While discussing her writing, Maddie explains how she visualizes her stories, and considers numerous potential endings before deciding on one. Later that night, a masked killer with a crossbow attacks Sarah and chases her to Maddie's house. A bloodied Sarah bangs on the door shouting for help; her cries go unheard because Maddie cannot hear her, and the man stabs Sarah to death.
The man quickly realizes Maddie is deaf and decides to make her another victim. He sneaks into her house, steals her phone, takes photos of her, and sends them to her. As Maddie realizes she is being stalked, the man cuts the power and sabotages her car to prevent escape. Maddie writes "won't tell, didn't see face, boyfriend coming home" on the glass panel door with her lipstick, but the man responds by taking off his mask and revealing his face. Maddie attempts to distract the man with her car alarm long enough to grab Sarah's phone from her body, but fails. Mocking her, the man pockets the phone as well as one of Sarah's earrings.
While attempting to escape through the second story window, Maddie is shot in the leg by the man with a crossbow bolt, but she manages to knock him off the roof and steal the weapon. She staggers back into the house, removing the bolt from her leg before trying to reload the crossbow. John, Sarah's boyfriend, arrives at Maddie's house looking for Sarah. The man confronts John, posing as a police officer responding to a call. He delivers a story of how he was rendered unconscious by an intruder, but John grows suspicious and eventually attempts to attack him from behind with a rock. Just as he's about to strike, Maddie bangs on the window, distracting him and allowing the man to stab him in the neck. As John bleeds to death, he puts the man in a chokehold to buy Maddie enough time to escape. However, Maddie realizes that any attempt to escape or hide will result in her being caught or bleeding to death; her only chance for survival is to kill the man.
Outside, the man catches and threatens Maddie's cat with a knife before he is struck in the shoulder with a bolt. While retreating into the house, she drops the last bolt outside the door. Before she can grab it, the man slams the sliding door shut on her wrist, crushing her hand beneath his boot. Continuing their game of cat and mouse, he allows Maddie to pull her mangled hand inside and close and lock the door. When he threatens to enter the house, Maddie writes "do it, coward" on the door with her own blood. As the man begins bashing the door in with a tire iron, Maddie rushes to her computer, typing up a description of the man and a message to her family. She concludes by writing that she "died fighting" before shutting her laptop, arming herself with a knife, and locking herself in the bathroom.
Failing to break through the door, the man opts to crash through the bathroom skylight unbeknownst to Maddie. She is alerted to his presence when he inadvertently breathes against her neck. She narrowly avoids his attack and stabs him in the knee. Maddie stumbles into the kitchen, where she disorients the man with insecticide and her visual smoke alarm, but he regains the upper hand by strangling her. On the verge of death, Maddie grabs a corkscrew and plunges it into the side of his neck, finally killing him.
Maddie retrieves her cellphone from the man's body and dials 911 before stumbling outside, sitting on the porch steps. Maddie's cat rubs against her and she lovingly strokes the cat. Bathed in the blue lights as the police approaches her, Maddie closes her eyes, pets her cat, and smiles.
Nothing was known about the project until September 2015, when it was revealed at a buyers' screening which occurred at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. It was revealed Mike Flanagan had directed and written the film, along with his wife Kate Siegel who also stars in it.
On making the main character a deaf mute, Flanagan had said it originated from him wanting to do a movie "without dialogue". The possibility of making the film entirely silent was briefly considered, but was soon abandoned when it was realized that building tension with this limitation would be "impossible"  Flanagan also noted that the target audience would not have been used to silent films and, as such, would "seek out every kind of audio stimulus anywhere else in the environment" or simply choose to not watch the film at all.
The script itself consisted largely of scene directions, which Flanagan and Siegel developed by acting out in their own house. The fact that so much of the script was based around Flanagan and Siegel's own house proved problematic for filming, as when they went to shoot the film in Alabama, they could not find a house similar enough to theirs and had to significantly alter the film's script. Flanagan also found challenges in the single location and had to plan the cinematography to keep the film interesting to the audience, especially given the mute nature of the protagonist; to this end, Flanagan used a Steadicam to follow Siegel's every move, along with a boom mic and a spotter, to make the movement more "dynamic". The resulting audio for these scenes could not be used and had to be redone in post, with Flanagan noting that the audio initially "sounded like a herd of elephants."
To represent Maddie's world, various ambient sounds were used, such as the sound of ultrasound machines. Flanagan did not want to use pure silence for these scenes, as he still felt it would make viewers even more aware of their surrounding and take them out of the experience. As a result of the aforementioned camera set in, Siegel had to ADR her own breath into the final film. The film's soundtrack was composed by The Newton Brothers.
The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 12, 2016. Prior to the premiere, Netflix acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film, which it released on April 8.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 40 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Hush navigates the bloody waters of home invasion thrillers and incisive slashers for a contemporary horror puree." At Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on reviews from seven critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Benjamin Lee of The Guardian said that Hush "offers ingenious suspense" and awarded it four out of five stars. Geoff Burkshire of Variety, though criticizing the film's third act, called it "one of the more inspired concoctions to emerge from the busy Blumhouse horror-thriller assembly line in recent years." Michael Gingold of Fangoria gave the film 3.5/4 stars, calling it "a good old-fashioned truly scary movie". Jasef Wisener of TVOvermind gave the film a 4.7/5, noting that "Thanks to the performances from its two leads, Hush succeeds in almost every aspect and delivers one of the best horror films in modern history."  Richard Newby of the website Audiences Everywhere called the film "a modern slasher movie classic that's not to be missed."
Stephen King wrote about the film on April 20, 2016, saying, "How good is Hush? Up there with Halloween and, even more, Wait Until Dark. White knuckle time. On Netflix." Filmmaker William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist, also commented on the film, saying "HUSH is a great horror film...on Netflix. Terrifying."

“Transet” Transmission Controller Development System
A program was developed that provides a user friendly interface for developing and testing shift tables in a powershift transmission. This program is Windows based and runs on an IBM compatible P.C. When coupled with a suitable controller, transmission designers have a useful tool for the development of transmission shift timing. The system is designed to be used in an engine test cell or for actual vehicle tests. This allows the vehicle operator to call up and edit shifts on a P.C. screen and then drive the vehicle using the new shifts. This allows the operator to evaluate results of real time shifts immediately.

Computerworld - The most powerful software company in the world would love to kill it off. The most ridiculous software company in the world can't stop suing over it. Yet Linux marches triumphantly onward and will be preening its new-product feathers this week at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in New York.
Against all odds, the open-source operating system has steadily grown up from grass roots to widespread enterprise use, adopted by CIOs and senior IT managers who value its cost savings, its price/performance and the alternative it offers to a lifetime sentence of Microsoft Windows. Its influential cadre of vendor supporters, aggressively led by IBM and Hewlett-Packard, now includes all the major software, hardware and networking vendors (with the notable exceptions of Microsoft and lawsuit-happy SCO Group, of course).
Even the lurking shadow of SCO's $3 billion lawsuit against IBM over intellectual property rights to Linux -- and the pipsqueak vendor's threats to directly sue user companies -- has done nothing to dampen IT or business enthusiasm. No fear. No uncertainty. No doubt. In fact, the past two weeks have been especially busy on the penguin watch. Hardly a day passed without another Linux story bobbing to the surface. Consider the following:
- SCO finally ended 10 months of legal foot-dragging by delivering some of the infamous disputed code to IBM . At last, a look at the smoking gun? Nah. Not a single example of those alleged copyright violations that we've all heard about ad nauseam. The central issue seems to be boiling down to contract language, like how the two companies were defining things like derivative works. Spare us the details.
- Novell stepped forward to indemnify its newly acquired SUSE Linux enterprise customers against legal actions by SCO . HP took a similar protective stance last September. Sun Microsystems also shields its customers from such legal assaults. It's time that IBM and Red Hat stepped forward to do the same, isn't it?
"Anybody that sells code should indemnify their customers," as analyst Bill Claybrook at Harvard Research Group Inc. so aptly put it in our story. "If they're selling software products, then they should stand behind their products."
- Open Source Development Labs Inc. announced its $10 million legal defense fund against Linux copyright-infringement lawsuits by SCO.
- Security researchers in Poland announced that they had found a new flaw in the Linux kernel , but users promptly shrugged it off as no big deal.
"I would say [Linux] is more secure than Microsoft and other environments, because the code is looked over by so many people," explained John Cahill, senior network security engineer at Piedmont Natural Gas Co. in Charlotte, N.C. "It's so widely available that any vulnerability can be quickly identified and patched."
- A U.K.-based Web site published an IBM internal memo in which CEO Sam Palmisano challenged his company to migrate to Linux desktops and other open-source-based tools wherever possible .
- A Linux platform for government and corporate users in Asia was announced by Japan's Miracle Linux Corp. and China's Red Flag Software Co. . Japan, China and South Korea are all climbing on the Linux bandwagon in hopes of diminishing the dominance of Western software companies in the operating system and applications markets.
Soif these early days of the new year are any indication, Linux and open-source will turn out to be the liveliest technology space to watch in 2004. Who says flightless birds can't defy gravity?

text: The ultimate experience in Uluru is probably seeing it from the air by helicopter. The flight lasts about an hour and usually includes several passes over the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). It´s best to do it first thing in the morning or in the evening when the colors of the red rock are more intense. It was the first time I rode in a helicopter and the experience was truly impressive. It´s a little expensive ($130 Australian dollars per person) but very highly recommended.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.Claudio Suarez scored four minutes into the match to give Chivas USA the lead Saturday, but midfielder Andy Dorman’s sixth goal of the season helped the New England Revolution salvage a 1-1 tie.
New England converted just its second corner kick in 61 chances when midfielder Steve Ralston sent the ball into the box from the right side, setting up Dorman’s right-footed shot in the 64th minute.
Chivas is 6-5-3 with the worst road record (1-5-2) in the league.
New England improved to 6-3-5, but is just 1-2-3 in its past six matches.
New England failed to capitalize on numerous scoring chances, including Ralston’s eight corner kicks.
Taylor Twellman’s header was denied on a one-handed save by Chivas goalie Preston Burpo in the 59th minute and Patrick Noonan had a point-blank header stopped in the 83rd minute.

Microsoft has cofirmed the UK date for the highly-anticipated - and much delayed - Xbox 360 racing sim Forza Motorsport 2, as June 8.
Originally slated for release earlier this year, Forza 2 promises more of the same high-octane racing, with players getting behind the wheel of over 300 different cars. What's more, each one be tweaked and personalised to your suit your individal taste, thanks to game's improved customisation options which include an improved livery editor.
Game director Dan Greenawalt said: "The added horsepower of Xbox 360 has allowed us to redefine what it means to be a racing simulator with Forza Motorsport 2. We've turned mountains of real world raw data into a living, breathing simulator where the only difference between the game and reality is that you're racing from the comfort and safety of your living room."
We're taking an updated build of the game for a test drive soon, so keep your eyes peeled for a thorough hands-on. In the meantime you can take a look at IGN's preview of the customisation options.


OLYMPIA – By a vote of 70-24, the state House sent a key patient safety and worker fairness measure to the governor’s desk for signature today.
House Bill 1155, sponsored by Rep. Marcus Riccelli (D-Spokane), provides for uninterrupted meal and rest breaks for nurses and certain other health care employees, and prohibits the use of prescheduled on-call time to fill foreseeable staff shortages.
“Our loved ones deserve the best care, no matter what hospital they step in, and our nurses deserve the same important worker protections so they can provide the best possible care,” Riccelli said. “After five years in a row of this measure passing off the House floor, nurses are finally getting commonsense breaks so they can recharge and be able to focus on the critical work they do.”
The original version of the bill, which passed the House back in March, was amended in the Senate to limit the list of protected health care occupations, exempt certain facilities from the bill’s requirements, and limit all shifts to only eight hours of work in 24 hours. The changes would have significantly undermined the bill’s goal of ensuring all health care workers in Washington state have basic breaks and overtime protections.
When the House refused to concur with the Senate amendments, a conference committee formed to resolve the issue. The final bill eliminates the eight-hour maximum shift limit, keeps techs in the overtime protections, and includes all hospitals but with a two-year delay for critical access hospitals, solo community hospitals, and hospitals with under 25 beds.
“This legislation addresses the challenges health care workers face in providing safe patient care and the shortage of nurses that we’re facing statewide,” said Rep. Mike Sells (D-Everett), one of the bill’s cosponsors and chair of the House Labor and Workplace Standards Committee. “The protections in this bill will improve job-retention by helping reduce chronic fatigue, which will enable nurses to provide better and more focused care for their patients.”
The 2019 legislative session concludes this Sunday, April 28.

'Bourne 4' Is in Progress, Matt Damon Confirmed
Providing an update to another installment of "Bourne" films, Matt Damon has come up with a confirmation that a fourth "Bourne" movie is indeed in development. The Academy Award-recipient gushed on the "Untitled Bourne 4 Project" matter in the interview with Parade Magazine.
Asked whether his return to play Jason Bourne for a fourth time has been made official, Damon responded, "We're working on it." Explaining more on the project, he said, "This time it would be from an original script rather than a book by Robert Ludlum. But the director, Paul Greengrass, is busy and I am too, so we'll see what happens."
On whether or not he is ready to reprise his role, he stated that age will be his biggest obstacle. "Listen, when I did the first movie, I was 29 years old. I am 37 now," the star of "The Departed" confessed, "and after a tough fighting scene, the next day you wake up and feel your body more. That's just the way it is."
The fourth "Bourne" film has been reported to be penned by George Nolfi, the screenwriter of "The Sentinel"and "Ocean's Twelve". While earlier it was suggested that the story may be based on Robert Ludlum's "The Parsifal Mosaic", it has been noted that the latter could be developed into another movie by Universal Pictures.

SAN DIEGO — Police say a woman was shot in broad daylight after stopping at a red light and approaching another car in Skyline early Saturday evening.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at South Meadowbrook Drive and Skyline Drive around 5:30 p.m. and found a 27-year-old woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Police and then paramedics tried to save the woman’s life, but she died about an hour later at a local hospital.
Witnesses told homicide investigators that the woman had been driving northbound on South Meadowbrook with a companion when she stopped at a red light. The victim got out of her car and walked up to another vehicle that was stopped in front of her. Witnesses reported hearing a gunshot and seeing the woman stumble backwards from the car, collapsing into a parking lot, police said.
The second car then drove off on Meadowbrook Drive. The driver was described as a black man in his twenties or thirties in a black, two-door Mercedes Benz.
An investigation into the shooting continued into Saturday evening. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or CrimeStoppers at 888-580-8477.
