text: - BACKGROUND: Mycophenolate mofetil has been claimed to be effective and well tolerated in refractory inflammatory bowel disease although there is little information regarding its use in clinical practice. AIM: To review our experience in achieving and maintaining remission in refractory inflammatory bowel disease and to document tolerability, major toxicity and efficacy. METHODS: A retrospective audit was performed of the records of all patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with mycophenolate mofetil (1-2 g/day) over a 3-year period. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were identified. Almost all had been intolerant of, or had not responded to azathioprine, and 38 were steroid-dependent. mycophenolate mofetil was discontinued in 22 patients, 11 due to intolerance and 10 because of lack of efficacy. Of the 17 on treatment at the end of the study period 16 were in remission and off all steroid therapy, but one needed infliximab to maintain remission. No major toxicity was noted and there was no major sepsis. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 40% of patients with severe refractory inflammatory bowel disease achieved remission and complete steroid withdrawal on mycophenolate mofetil therapy, almost 30% could not tolerate the drug, and a further 30% did not respond. Mycophenolate mofetil therapy may have a role for steroid-dependent patients refractory to azathioprine.

NETbook 1: Seaweed (2018)
Aletta de Jong & PrintRoom
The content for this NETbook was generated by a collaborative investigation into seaweed as a means to engage with the surrounding landscape, where landscape is understood as the current and potential interaction between people and their environment.
In the summer of 2017, a group of people – who want to find out more how things work through doing – went into my studio with the seaweed we had collected on the North-Sea coast of the Netherlands. The results of our research is presented in this collaborative publication.
NETbook is series of publications initiated by X Marks the Bökship and PrintRoom which takes self-publishing as a starting point for other “self-reliance” projects. These projects are made by a small group of artists and designers – often after a collaborative exercise or workshop – and distributed via like-minded small publishers and publishing platforms using Risograph printing facilities. Each NETbook dips into a particular field of knowledge and presents a selection of findings with an emphasis on process, sharing and collective experience.

The sound of the legendary Signum duo has been resounding in the dance scene for nearly one and a half decade. The two musical masterminds, Ron Hagen and Pascal Minnaard, have kept trance alive throughout the years. Their discography is a collection of ultimate trance classics and future favourites, creating one anthem after another. In 2010, the time is right to finally release the debut album everyone's been waiting for. In dedication to all their fans and supporters, Signum proudly presents 'For You'.
Throughout the years, the Dutch duo has grown and developed, getting into a more diverse sound, without ever losing the true trance sound that they started with in 1997. 'What Ya Got 4 Me', 'Coming On Strong', 'Push Through', 'First Strike', 'Distant Signature', the more recent 'Addicted', 'Riddles In The Sand', Roger Shah collabs 'Healesville Sanctuary' and 'Ancient World', remixes for Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, ATB and many others, all tracks and remixes ride that typical, unrivalled Signum sound. Praised for his unrivalled DJ sets, Ron performed at A State of Trance 400 and 450, as part of a line-up voted for by the millions of listeners of Armin van Buuren's radioshow.
But Signum wasn't planning to stick to their past successes. Now, at the end of 2010, Ron and Pascal are proud to present their first artist album. 'For You' is a full-colour collection oldskool trance, rousing tech, uplifting, Balearic prog and cinematic down-tempo. Featuring collabs with Roger Shah, Antonia Lucas, Kate Louis Smith and Julie Thompson, 'For You' takes you in completely. With an open mind and fuel to keep the highlights coming for years and years, Signum will keep the trance fire going for a long time to go.

Did avan jogia dating ariana grande
Victoria Justice recently posted a photo from their latest hangout sesh, and it made us super-sentimental for the days they played Tori and Beck.As much as we love seeing what they're up to now, sometimes we wish they would go back to their Hollywood Arts High School days.Both were aspiring singers whose vocal abilities had only been showcased on the various Victorious soundtrack releases.Both were obviously ready to put kiddie-show acting on the back-burner once wrapped up in February 2013, and establish themselves as convincing pop entities.With the arrival of Trina's birthweek, Tori can't decide what to get her as a gift, and André suggests a song.
Jade and Tori are picked as partners to act out a fight scene for their stage fighting class but things go bad when Jade acts as if Tori actually hit her in the face with a cane.
To paraphrase William Carlos Williams, so much depends upon a debut single in modern pop music. Look at the recent career trajectories of Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice.

LOWELL, Mass. — The last time Tommy Lawrence pitched in the postseason, things didn’t go so well.
And last weekend, he took a loss with a one-inning relief stint.
On Wednesday, the University of Maine’s junior right-hander showed why he was named the America East Pitcher of the Year.
Lawrence pitched a two-hit shutout, leading the top-seeded Black Bears to a 7-0 victory over No. 4 Stony Brook in the opening game of the America East Baseball Championship at LeLacheur Park.
“I haven’t thrown in a tournament since Winthrop [University in 2011] and I threw one inning, kind of got hit around, so it was good to shut a team down,” said Lawrence (10-3), who tied a school single-season record for wins.
Coach Steve Trimper’s Black Bears (35-20) plays No. 2 Binghamton (28-22), a 9-0 winner over No. 3 Albany, Thursday at 8 p.m. The defending champion Seawolves (22-35) take on the Great Danes (23-24-1) in Thursday’s 4 p.m. elimination game in the double-elimination tourney.
“It takes a lot of pressure off,” said UMaine junior Mike Connolly.
“It opens up a whole bouquet of opportunity. Getting that first win is big for confidence,” he added.
Lawrence struck out six and walked two, utilizing an effective curveball to keep SBU hitters off balance.
“Tommy’s been our best pitcher all year,” said UMaine junior Eric White of Brewer. “We kind of put him on a pedestal a little bit and we expect him to do that every time out.”
Lawrence was plenty motivated after he was brought in to work the ninth inning of last Saturday’s game against Maryland Baltimore County and surrendered the tying and winning runs.
“I don’t want to lose,” said Lawrence, who explained he has tried to give up McDonald’s “McDoubles” and eat better recently to enhance his performance.
“That’s what I put in the back of my head. I don’t want to lose again for the rest of the season. Anything to put fire in the belly,” Lawrence added.
White spearheaded the Black Bears’ 14-hit assault with a three-run home run and an RBI single.
Vanderka (8-4), pitching on only four days’ rest, lasted 4 1/3 innings. He was touched for 10 hits and seven runs, all earned, with one strikeout and one walk.
“He’s got a very good changeup to lefties, so that was kind of the approach with the lefties was go away [opposite field], look away, sit on that changeup that he likes,” said UMaine senior Mike Fransoso, “and if we get a fastball, use your hands to get through it.”
Scott Heath of Westbrook knocked in two runs with a pair of singles and Alex Calbick posted two singles and an RBI for the Bears. Troy Black (two runs scored), Fransoso and Mike Connolly stroked two singles apiece.
Cole Peragine’s one-out single in the first inning and Brett Tenuto’s single in the eighth were the only hits for the Seawolves.
UMaine staked Lawrence to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Vanderka. Black lined a one-out single to center field, stole second and moved up on Fransoso’s single to center.
Calbick plated the first run with an opposite-field single to left, then White pulled an RBI single to left. Heath followed with a two-run single up the middle off the glove of diving shortstop Peragine to make it 4-0.
“It took the pressure off us and put the pressure on them,” Trimper said.
“[In the tournament], sometimes four runs feels like 400,” he added. “It feels like a mountain to overcome.”
Lawrence made the runs stand up with a dominating performance. The Bears committed three errors, but backed him by turning inning-ending double plays in the first and third innings.
“It’s easy to kind of get on a roll when you pitch over adversity when it comes your way,” Connolly said.
“It’s real easy to win a game when you give up two hits,” he added.
White provided some insurance in the fifth inning when he drilled a three-run home run to left field that provided the final margin of victory.
It was his sixth homer of the season, which ties injured Kevin Courtney for the league lead.
“You just try to see a ball up and try to drive one, try to score a few runs, because we were trying to extend the lead and trying to put a team away,” White said.
“It was a curveball or a slider. It kind of hung up there and stayed about belt-high,” he added.
Trimper admitted he was leery about facing Stony Brook in the tournament opener.
“I respect those guys immensely,” he said. “They’ve been there before and they’ve got some great players and I thought it was going to be a very big hurdle for us.”

A 32-year old suspected ‘notorious’ armed robber has been gunned down by the police at Kosoa Gyan- Nkwanta in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
Abanga and two others allegedly engaged the police in a gun battle. Two other accomplices are at large with gun wounds.
The Kasoa Divisional Police Commanders, ACP David Agyeman Adjem, in an interview with Adom News said the police on Friday evening had a tip-off that, Abanga and his two accomplices were attempting to rob a Manager of a Microfinance Company [name withheld]situated in the town.
He said the police rushed to scene and upon reaching there, the three suspected armed robbers started firing bullets at the police.
ACP Agyeman Adjem said the police also retaliated leading to the death of Abanga.
He added that the remaining two also received gun wounds but managed to escape in the process.
The Police Commander is calling on the general public and health workers to report any patient with gun wounds to police.

text: This paper introduces a special collection of Anthropological Quarterly for examining “the extreme” in contemporary modernity. Drawing upon sites of political, scientific, and economic engagement that source specifically to the extraterrestrial, we argue that the figure of the extreme shapes an analytic of limits and ever-opening horizons—epistemological and physical—provoking new understandings of humanness, environment, temporality, and of inter-species life as we think we understand it, here on Earth. It follows that this framework is not restricted to the environment of outer space: the analytic of the extreme, which is broadly salient in contemporary imagination and social practice, opens to examination of how all modern subjects are capable of upending modernity’s everyday spaces and timelines. The assembled papers cohere around this commitment. Coming in from very different angles, each seriously considers the possibility of outcomes not anticipated by analytic or vernacular explanatory frameworks, while refusing to commit anthropologists to the dangers of prognostication.

How does it work? Tips For Using Better Help…
After completing a questionnaire to ascertain what specific flavour of mental you are, you’re coupled with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly switch for a different one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then kick off an instant messaged treatment session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, continue up until among you ultimately passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a totally free seven-day trial – much like a complimentary Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, other than with method more concerns about what your youth resembled. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for endless message-based counselling and one ‘totally free’ phone session with your counsellor each month. Yeah, I don’t get how it’s totally free either, but whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
Filtering that through immediate messaging may be useful if you find the idea of baring your soul to a complete stranger a bit awks. You won’t get the very same connection similar to in person counselling, but the semi-anonymity may make it easier to open up if you have actually been consuming 2 bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan’s bridal gown every night.
She first established the scale of my anxiety, what triggers it– social situations, satisfying people for the first time– and then dived headlong into my fractious childhood (divorced moms and dads, strained familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was quite nosey tbh, however then that’s her task, isn’t it?
In general, the service is remarkably slick. The conversation can be a little stop-starty sometimes, however it was really a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I expected. I even got quick reactions to messages over the weekend, which was unforeseen.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The fact you can modify messages prior to sending them implies you’re not likely to blurt out something vulnerable and revealing in the heat of the minute. Profound moments of realisation might be difficult to come by if you can’t get a relaxed circulation going.
Who do I believe it might it be good for?
Anybody with a low-end psychological health concern who’s cool with getting counselled in an extremely internet-y, 2016-y way. If you’re living under the blackest, bleakest cloud possible and need major attention (and possibly some meds), most likely isn’t for you Tips For Using Better Help

Preliminary reports by the Michigan State Police (MSP) show six people lost their lives in six separate traffic crashes during the 2016 Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) Lifesaver Weekend. In comparison, three people died in traffic crashes during the 2015 initiative.
DNA samples from family members played a significant role in determining what happened to their loved they had last seen in 1986.
Forty-one new Michigan State Police (MSP) troopers will report for work at MSP posts across the state next week following graduation from the 131st Trooper Recruit School this afternoon. Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP, administered the Oath of Office during the ceremony at the Lansing Center.

text: The housing quandary in Hong Kong can get people hot under the collar, so much so that even a top mainland official recently weighed in with an unusual but well-intentioned goal for the city – get rid of the notorious subdivided flats and caged homes by 2049, when the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Far off as it seems, the goal of achieving “zero subdivided flats” in 28 years is a tall order for a place where hundreds of thousands of people live in such shameful dwellings. But coming at a time of monumental paradigm shifts on the political and social fronts, it is a reminder that whoever is at the helm must work harder to make housing more affordable. The remarks by the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office director, Xia Baolong, show that national security is not the only issue that worries Beijing. While the perceived security loopholes are being plugged with an ongoing series of legal and electoral revamps, social ills such as partitioned flats, elderly welfare, youth employment and other livelihood matters are still very much on Beijing’s mind. The state’s growing emphasis on comprehensive jurisdiction over the city means Hong Kong officials may face more pressure in a wide range of policy areas. Unlike before, when state leaders only urged the government to tackle deep-seated conflicts in general terms, this is the first time a time frame has been floated for a specific problem. It would be good if the bold vision prompts local authorities to work harder. So far, no chief executives have had the political will to phase out subdivided flats. The proposed bill by Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor to regulate the market has actually fuelled concerns that it may worsen the problem. We trust Lam is feeling the heat now that the housing issue is tied with the PRC’s 100th anniversary. Under the governance model of “one country, two systems” and “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong”, Beijing will not tread on the city’s promised high degree of autonomy lightly. The hope that housing woes will be resolved by 2049 underlines Beijing’s concerns for people’s well-being, without which prosperity and stability cannot be achieved. Lam has yet to make clear whether she will seek re-election. While she said it was the duty of every administration to work hard on various policy areas, land and housing supply requires the support of lawmakers and the public. Hong Kong finance chief calls for determination in tackling housing, wealth gap The response does not instil confidence that Beijing’s words will be taken on board with a sense of urgency. Meanwhile, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po pledged to cut red tape to speed up land supply. There needs to be greater political will and commitment if the admirable goal of “zero subdivided flats” is ever to be achieved.

Hey! Long time no blog! I'd love to say it's because I've been out and about having adventures but other than going to work and getting ahead on my Goodreads challenge, I have accomplished very little.
I've been cooking - it's not that there has been nothing to say. We had a week of vegetarian meals, for example, which was great. I loved trying out some new recipes which included finally making Marcella Hazan's tomato butter sauce which I thought was DREAMY. And the kale salad that I served on the side was also a surprise hit.
We've also both developed something of an unholy passion for sriracha and are busily drizzling it on everything. Top tip - combine it with mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, dill and a squoosh of lemon juice for the most fabulous burger sauce.
But today we're talking about another condiment which has taken up permanent residence in our fridge. This stuff is so good - stir it through rice, splodge it on cheese on toast or just eat it with a spoon, it's addictive. D just made his latest batch today and I got him to weigh out everything so that I could report it EXACTLY but, of course, as with any sauce of this type, you can tweak to your own individual tastes.
This keeps in the fridge for weeks. We run through it pretty quickly though.
150g green chillies
150g fresh coriander - stalks and all
90g vegetable oil
30g white wine vinegar
15g lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Whizz all the ingredients up together and season well. The end.

MADAGASCAR needs to reform its fuel subsidy programme which does not help its poorest people, a senior International Monetary Fund official said as the lender considers more funding for the Indian Ocean island.
Famed for its WILDLIFE and eyed by foreign companies for its minerals, Madagascar has struggled to lure back tourists and attract oil and mining giants since a coup in 2009.
The coup also prompted international donors to cut ties, leaving the economy to stagnate and poverty to deepen.
U.S. cuts Swaziland from trade benefits, reinstates Madagascar
The United States cut Swaziland from a duty-free trade program on Thursday because of concerns about crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations and poor protection of workers’ rights.
Swaziland’s exclusion from African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) benefits, a program set up to help sub-Saharan African countries, will raise the cost of its exports to U.S. consumers.
But the United States reinstated AGOA benefits for Madagascar, which was dropped after a coup in 2009, following peaceful elections in the country.

text: Life histories and reproductive dynamics of the crayfish Orconectes virilis, the langoustine Nephrops andamanicus, and spiny lobsters of the genus Jasus are reviewed and compared. Fecundity per recruit values (the average number of eggs produced per female during a lifetime) were calculated to provide comparisons of mortality rates of larval and/or juvenile stages, both among the three lobster groups and between different populations of the same species. In relatively crowded populations of Nephrops density-dependent rates of growth and survival are reduced and sizes at maturity of females are small. Modeling of Jasus populations shows that fecundity per recruit is regulated by size at maturity of females, at both inter- and intraspecific levels. Egg size, phyllosoma larval size and puerulus size are correlated, and there are interspecific differences within the genus Jasus. Mean size at maturity is determined largely by average molt increments of juveniles, because the modal number of pre-puberty molts is not random but appears to be species-specific in these groups. Thus density-dependent growth of juveniles regulates size at maturity and egg production in these crustaceans, suggesting an indirect feed-back relationship between adult egg production and post-larval settling densities. Despite the apparent resilience afforded to lobster stocks by compensatory (density-dependent) mechanisms, overfishing is to be avoided-firstly because of the adverse economic impact, and also because reduced egg and larval production must diminish the capacity of a stock to resist environmental change.

Getting There and Staying There
We flew Etihad Airways from New York to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, then Air Seychelles ( airseychelles.com) from Abu Dhabi to the main island of Mahé. There are several other options, but be ready for a full day of travel on each end of the trip.
There are more than 115 islands in the Seychelles, and to see more than a few, you’ll need a good transfer service to help. With more than 40 years of experience in the Seychelles, Mason’s Travel ( masonstravel.com) handled all of our ground transfers and other details flawlessly.
There are only a few choices for top-quality charter operations — one of the best is A1 Charters ( a1fishingseychelles.com), based in Eden Island Marina on the eastern coast of Mahé. We fished on Special K, a 32-foot Cabo, and Alati, a 45-foot Cabo. Both were tournamentrigged with top-quality tackle and gear, including dredges. Contact Henry Riggs-Miller through FINS (Fishing in the Seychelles) at fins.sc for information on fishing in the region.
For lodging, it’s tough to beat the Carana Beach Hotel ( caranabeach.com). Each of the villas offers stunning views. From Mahé, we traveled to Denis Island ( denisisland.com), a private island community that is upscale and exclusive, with outstanding angling opportunities.

A dynamic and interactive safety scheme giving pupils the chance to earn awards for completing crime prevention awareness activities has been unveiled by Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen.
The County Durham and Darlington PCC has invited more than 140 school pupils from five primary schools across Ferryhill to take part in the Commissioner’s Challenge initiative – a multi-stage crime prevention awareness programme enabling them to secure bronze, silver and gold awards.
Championed by young mentors from Ferryhill School, the scheme has been separated into three key themes: Keeping Our Family, Friends and Neighbours Safe, Keeping Our Streets Safe and Keeping Ourselves Safe.
It engages youngsters in activities such as litter picking, safe road practices and property marking with UV marker pens to earn themselves badges recognising their achievements.
Developed by community organisation Approach Too in conjunction with the PCC, it follows the highly successful ‘Commissioner’s Ambassadors for Community Change’ scheme launched by the Commissioner in Ferryhill last year.
The Ambassadors, who attend schools across Ferryhill and have been working with neighbourhood teams, councillors, the PCC and MPs to address safety concerns and completed a major youth survey which helped to pinpoint gaps in safety knowledge among young people.
The Commissioner’s Challenge is aimed at covering these important areas to help build resilience within the community and prevent future harm.
Commissioner Allen said: “This is a really exciting project for Ferryhill which has been designed by young people for young people to ensure school pupils are equipped with the knowledge they need to make safe choices both now and in the future.
“I am so proud of the Ambassadors and all the children taking part in the Commissioner’s Challenge. This is a great way to educate young people about crime prevention, road safety and so much more, whilst making it fun and rewarding. I hope that this programme can be replicated across the length and breadth of the force area to ensure that our young people are valued citizens and included when building a community that is more resilient to crime.
“We regularly engage with our community and this feedback is the foundation of my Police and Crime Plan. The crime survey carried out by the Ambassadors was the first step in giving us a great understanding of the issues that are important to young people and what more we need to do to help young people feel safe, not only in Ferryhill but across the whole of County Durham and Darlington.”
Approach Too manager Glenys Newby added: “We are blown away by how well the Ambassadors for Community Change have done with their project. It’s been a year in the making!
“From all the data they collected around people’s views and experiences of crime, through to the work they have done to try and make their community safer, they have shared all the results of their crime survey with people who can help make positive change, such as Paul Howell MP, councillors, the 4 Together Area Action Partnership and the Police.
“However, it was Durham’s Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen who really got behind the work of the Ambassadors and supported them in taking it one step further to create their own Commissioner’s Challenge to help keep their family, friends and neighbours safe.”
The artwork for the project was designed by local children’s book illustrator Stuart Trotter, who is the current Rupert the Bear illustrator. The Ambassadors worked with Stuart to bring their ideas to life.
Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen has announced her preferred candidate for the new Chief Constable of Durham Constabulary.

Returning to a strategy that preceded the bill’s progress through a committee, organized labor leaders plan to fast for a day to press lawmakers into supporting legislation that would make standard driver’s licenses available to undocumented immigrants in Massachusetts.
Officials from several of the region’s largest labor groups plan to rally outside the State House at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, where they will announce their commitment to a one-day fast and highlight the stories of “Black and Brown immigrants who face detention, family separation and deportation for driving without a license.”
Between 41,000 and 78,000 of the roughly 185,000 undocumented immigrants in Massachusetts could obtain licenses within three years of the bill’s enactment, supporters estimate.
“By denying tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants the ability to get a license, we are increasing the likelihood of coronavirus transmission and worsening the trust between Black and brown residents and law enforcement,” Roxana Rivera, vice president of the 32BJ SEIU union that represents a largely immigrant workforce, said in a press release. “Never has there been a more important time for this bill to pass than now. That is why I am committed to participate in this fast.”
The legislation (H 3012/S 2061), dubbed by supporters as the Work and Family Mobility Act, received a favorable report along party lines from the Transportation Committee in February, several days after supporters launched a hunger strike to draw attention to the issue.
The committee version of the bill has sat untouched for months before the Senate Ways and Means Committee. In September, Senate President Karen Spilka said the bill should pass for public safety reasons. “There’s like 14 other states that have done this and the sky hasn’t fallen,” Spilka said.
Organizers are rallying around a driver’s license amendment sponsored by Reps. Christine Barber and Tricia Farley-Bouvier to a policing reform bill marked for House deliberations on Wednesday and Thursday.

1. (January 1993)
Hero, from director Stephen Frears (My Beautiful Laundrette , The Grifters ), deliberately breaks several of the rules that hitherto governed mainstream American filmmaking for at least a decade.
It sports glamorous stars (Geena Davis, Andy Garcia), but casts its ace performer (Dustin Hoffman) in a thoroughly dislikeable, grubby role. Even worse, it is a story of mass deception and amoral behaviour that refuses to deliver a clean, socially reassuring resolution.
Bernie (Hoffman) is a bum, a loser and a louse. Separated from his wife (Joan Cusack) and faltering in his devotion to his son, Bernie is in hiding from all social institutions – particularly the mass media, which he despises. One night, totally by accident, Bernie stumbles upon a freak airplane crash, and (quite reluctantly) helps to save many lives. But he immediately disappears into anonymity once more, confiding his tale only to a fellow vagrant, John Bubber (Garcia).
The next time Bernie hears of the affair, he is in jail – and John has come forward to claim the credit and be transformed into a media hero, the "Angel of Flight 104". As Bernie fights to make the truth known (mainly for the sake of collecting the million dollar reward), television reporter Gale (Davis) finds herself involved in different ways with both men, unsure which one to trust or believe.
Frears has made a film perfectly in tune with the era of Reality Television, with all its attendant political confusions and moral ambiguities. Bernie may have performed the brave deed but, in the public eye, he is simply not hero material. Conversely, John is a bald-faced liar, but his showbiz charisma actually leads to progressive social reform within the community. What is the use of truth amid such a whirlpool of manufactured appearances and passionate public emotions?
Hero is an uncommonly intelligent film. As scripted by David Webb Peoples (Unforgiven, 1992), it teems with references to the movies of another era that dared dramatise such complex and risky themes – films like Billy Wilder's The Big Carnival (1951) and Preston Sturges' Hail the Conquering Hero (1944). Yet it is far from being a nostalgic rehash. Frears is right up to the moment with his caustic satire on everything from tasteless television documentary re-enactments to the New Age spiel that "everyone is the hero of their own story".
Frears has a fascinating vision of the world. Like his earlier films, Hero suggests that there is no use in lamenting the Good Old Days when television news was honest, family values were decent and society was a less confusing and dishonest place. His characters simply plunge into the chaos, finding their own level and figuring out a way to act effectively. These everyday heroes may be perplexed, but at least they are not paralysed.
Hero is a film that starts to fall apart the more you look at it. Indeed, it seems like one of those contemporary cases described so well on the television series Naked Hollywood where every key participant, from star to director to producer, had a hand in reshaping the material.
Director Frears seems intent on making a gleefully amoral statement for our era of Reality Television. In its best scenes, the film explores the ambiguities and ironies of modern heroism – how Bernie is simply not believable hero material, while Bubber's masquerade actually leads to decent, civic acts. Frears preaches a perfectly postmodern attitude: since there is no absolute truth in the world anymore, just pick the story that works best for you.
Yet the script by David Webb Peoples, for all its jokes and plot moves borrowed from Billy Wilder classics, seems intent on making a more old-fashioned statement. These homeless bums are, after all, Vietnam veterans, and the story works on another level as an apologia for such "forgotten men", and an indictment of our heartless, cynical age.
Put all these levels together and you have a movie which makes precious little sense.

Apple has acquired two new companies in the areas of mapping and note-taking, according to a post 9to5Mac published Monday. The first company is Broadmap, which specializes in managing and analyzing mapping data. It's an area that Apple has struggled with in the past after the tech titan found out the hard way that its mapping feature was not up to snuff. The second company Catch, an Evernote competitor, was acquired by Apple in the last few months.

When I was a student I lived with four friends on a farm about seven miles out of Aberdeen. Our landlord, who was the uncle of one of the friends, lived on another farm, a few miles away, and we shared the place with a Polish dairyman called Jozef and his family.
Jozef had come over during the war and stayed. He had picked up the Doric, the Scots dialect of the North-East, which he spoke with a heavy Polish accent and minus his front teeth, the effect of which was to render him unintelligible except when he was swearing at his dogs or the cows or the milking machinery, and only then because he did so so frequently that we came to grasp what he was on about.
Jozef had a Scottish wife whom I don’t remember ever seeing, and a lank-haired son called Vicky, who wouldn’t have looked out of place as an extra in The Revenant, and whom we referred to as ‘the loon’ – quite unreasonably since in the Doric we were all ‘loons’, or lads, together.
Although the farm was no more than a 20-minute drive from the centre of town, this was the rural hinterland. Oil first came ashore to Aberdeen in my last year there, 1971, but it would be many years before the effects started to be felt in the outlying countryside, and Jozef must have been typical of the many farm workers who still led a hard and pretty basic existence in those days; not least since Dyce, which was a couple of miles down the road and owing to the small airport had its own meteorological station, consistently recorded some of the lowest winter temperatures in the UK during the three years we spent there.
Characters such as Jozef featured prominently in our life since we frequented country pubs just as much as student bars in town. One night my friend Dougie Ford and I came up with an imaginary character who we thought epitomised the dour North-East farming type. We christened him Webster, and 4 February we nominated as Webster’s Day (which is what has summoned this particular memory). Webster didn’t do very much except mutter and look grim. It’s enough to say that his day marked the nadir of the year…
At this point I left off – somewhat in relief since I had no idea where I was heading with this story – to go to see a play at Birnam Arts, our community arts centre, a stone’s throw from the house. I had booked the tickets a while ago, having heard of the play and knowing that it had had rave reviews, but not knowing very much at all about it.
That play, from which I have now just emerged, is The Tailor of Inverness, Matthew Zajac’s beautiful telling of the story of his search for the truth about his father, a Pole who ended up at the end of the war with a small tailoring business in the north of Scotland. It’s an immensely powerful one-man show whose underlying theme is the struggle for survival and the misery of displacement in times of conflict. It could hardly be more topical as we watch the desperate tide of refugees trying to find a way into Europe.
It could also hardly have been more serendipitous, given where my thoughts had begun today – Webster’s Day of all days. The Tailor of Inverness, the Dairyman of Aberdeen … It never occurred to me when I was 19 to wonder what Jozef had left behind him, what he had forsaken for his life in Scotland. I’m wondering now. Thanks to Matthew Zajac I’m thinking of that eccentric, angry figure from my past, to whom I’ve hardly given a thought in 45 years, in a wholly different light. Such is the power and purpose of art.

I’ve settled on a theme for the nursery! Woot! Here’s the inspiration:
DH and his dad are huge Formula 1 racing fans, and I’ve watched with DH for the past two or three seasons. I enjoy it, too. So, we’ve (ok, I’ve) decided to do a semi-F1 racing themed room for Baby.
I’m going to start by painting the room a light khaki or beige. Then, I’ll make the bedding and curtains using khaki, red, chocolate, and cream-colored fabrics. Here’s the furniture we’ve picked out:
The crib is the 4 Seasons Harmony Espresso crib from Young America by Stanley. (More to come on this subject later!) We didn’t want to spend a fortune on a dresser that Baby will likely beat the crap out of, so we decided to go with the Hemnes 8-drawer dresser from Ikea. (We have the queen sized bed and 6-drawer chest in the Master bedroom and love it.) The dresswer will double as a changing station while Baby is in diapers.
We’re also considering the 3-drawer Hemnes chest in red if we need more storage. Plus, the red chest will give the room some pop and a little flair. Because I’m an English teacher, no room is complete for me without books, and if you have books, you need a place to put them. So, I want two bookshelves in Baby’s room. I also have an old upholstered rocker from the 60s that I’m going to have reupholstered.
Where’s the F1 theme, you ask? I’m going to tie it all together with these:
I love the look of the vintage, black and white prints from the early days of F1. We’re also going to have DH’s sister, who is a children’s artist, paint a name canvas and a growth chart for Baby’s room. Here’s a link to her blog if you’re interested: http://www.mylildoodlebugs.blogspot.com/. She’s really talented and I know the paintings she creates for us will be perfect.
So, those are my ideas in a nutshell. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Hello! I’m Sylvan Grimm, founder of Now Look Hear See productions. I’m an award winning creator of media content who’s worked in the television and film industry for over ten years. I’m a fun, focused, driven, kind and passionate media creator. I specialize in overseeing large complex technical projects, but I’m equally adept at working with small “run and gun” production crews. I’m skilled as a location sound supervisor, camera operator, and broadcast technical lead at an executive level.
I’m fluent in multiple media styles: short, medium and long form content. Imagine your project’s content and I will build your vision, on time and on budget.
I was drawn to film production at an early age, with two gifted independent film makers as uncles. I credit my eccentric uncles as the first film makers to have the vision to hire and cast me in their films as co–star and impromptu production assistant. Budgets were tight—compensation was in chocolate bars and leftover set props (partially melted GI joes from a stop motion short.) These crazy films and witnessing their inspiration fueled the inner creativity that drew me to media production.
When I’m not busy fearlessly juggling media projects, I enjoy motorcycling, scuba, producing independent films and hanging out with my wife (a local school teacher) and our two tuxedo cats. We love the flexibility of our “tri-state” lifestyle, and I thrive on the opportunity to work with creative media up and down the West coast.

Quiet as it’s kept, some of us colored-girl creative-writer types kept our cool circa 2006 when that gelato-dripping, Gita-flipping, Bali-bossa-nova-ing best seller Eat, Pray, Love went multi-multiplatinum. We did not hate, because we knew the truth: we too binge, chant, and passionately blur the pages of our passports with so many stamps from Senegal, Salvador, Kerala, and KwaZulu Natal. Deep bow to Sis’ Gilbert, and not to sound too much like Brother West, but the Age of Obama requires a different set of quests and questions, and in Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora, Emily Raboteau marches upward and outward, back and forth across the Black Atlantic, asking away.
From Princeton to Jerusalem, Jamaica to Ethiopia, and Ghana to the Gulf Coast, Raboteau queries those she encounters and invites us along to wander and wonder what it means and where it leads when black folk say we want to go home. Do we mean a spiritual home, an ancestral home, or some recognizable stone that refused to be blown away by Hurricane Katrina? And once we “advance, advance,” as the Garveyites used to sing, to ancient promised lands or new Jerusalems, are we welcome or do we still feel like strangers, sufferers? “How long?” the psalmists cried, and the historian in Raboteau provides a sketch of just how long her transmigrating, Zion-seeking comrades, as far back as Paul Cuffee and Martin Delany, have engaged similar questions. Still, this book comes most alive with her real-time, real-life, right-now conversations in Ital eateries, hotel jazz bars, mega-church pews, zigzagging bead shops, and at family reunions over bread pudding.
Can we go home at all if we are Jamaican and gay? the author asks her former writing teacher, Thomas Glave, founder of the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals, and Gays (J-FLAG). While her Rasta comrades, just pages before, insist on the inclusive, divine “we” of the expression I’n’I, Glave can only respond in the singular: “Jamaica is for me an ancestral and psychic home…. But I feel incomplete and not at home here because not all of my person is welcome. I’m vulnerable to murder as a person whom others feel they have a right to kill.” Can we become Ethiopian if our father was a West Indian rabbi from Harlem? In Addis Ababa, Raboteau asks this question of Abiyi Ford, the son of Rabbi Arnold Ford, who composed the anthem that began each gathering of Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association and who, in the 1930s, migrated with members of his synagogue from Harlem to Ethiopia. Abiyi Ford’s response provides one of my favorite passages from the book:
I like to say I’m African by heritage, Barbadian by parentage, Ethiopian by birth, British by registration, American by naturalization, and Ethiopian by repatriation. I disbelieve in geographic location. Here is my proof: you cannot tell me where Africa ends.
Raboteau liked his answer too, but admits to squirming when he asks her what she is. The biracial daughter of renowned African American professor of religion Albert Raboteau Jr., Emily answers, “I’ve never liked that question.” Ford chides her a bit as a fellow wandering hybrid, and admits it’s a trick question. He then concludes, “My prognosis is that you’re still looking for home.” Raboteau replies, “Good grief, is it that obvious?”
Emily Raboteau mentions early on in the book that she inherited her sense of displacement from her father, so it is poignant that she concludes her final chapter side by side with him, driving “home” to a family gathering in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. By this point, we’ve learned that father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and daughter is recently married and expecting a baby: “His hand is on the wheel. My hand is on my belly…. We’ll be there soon. We’re not there yet.” This final road trip to the Gulf Coast caps a ten-year period of travel beginning with her first trip to Israel at age 23. One can only imagine that somewhere along the line her publisher must have also asked of this book, “What are you?” Womanist travel writing? Africana ethnography? Father/daughter memoir? Comic mulatta coming-of-age in the Age of Obama romance? Whatever it is, I like that she grows. I like that she becomes increasingly aware of her privilege to be “free as a sparrow,” able on the turn of a chapter to fly from Jamaica to Ethiopia when so many generations of Rastas could never afford that flight, or even to buy an apartment in New York, however “run-down” and furnished with a “thrift store” loveseat. Her listening grows deeper and much more patient over the decade, and the lessons she learns from someone like Kati in Accra, the Hungarian ex-wife of a Ghanaian engineer (“If you float, the water can carry you to fascinating places!”), or from Raboteau’s cousin Tracy in Atlanta (“But what I want you to know about Katrina that you can’t learn from the news is the reserves of goodness”), grow more meaningful too. And goodness, she finds, is not the place, not the destination, not the promised land; goodness is in the journeying, the listening, the alive and grace-filled space I’n’I experience between soon and not there yet.

Generally speaking, the actual act of dating while your divorce is pending will not affect the outcome of a divorce. While you are still legally married to another person, the court distinguishes between pre- and post-separation relationships.
How long should you date before second marriage?
You just know their good side. But how long is long enough? The answer is unique to every couple, but as a standard, Dr. Stollman recommends waiting at least six to eight months before you assume you know anything solid about the person youre dating -- even if youve known each other for many years before.
Is it cheating if you are getting a divorce?
While some spouses may get some personal satisfaction out of filing a divorce decree stating their spouse has had an affair, it generally does not influence factors like alimony, division of property, or child custody issues.

How Soon Must Government Records Be Available to Requestors?
Section 5 of OPRA is clear that government records must be available “as soon as possible.” It then provides an outer time limit for public agencies—records must be produced as soon as possible, “but not later than seven business days after receiving the request.” Unfortunately, fewer and fewer public agencies comply with these rigid timelines. Most agencies produce records on the 7th business day, even though they are supposed to be available “as soon as possible.” And many agencies have moved to automatically taking an extension of time for each and every OPRA request, even requests that would require minimal time and effort to fulfill. The New Jersey Supreme Court has stated that the purpose of OPRA is to ensure “swift access” to government records, but the actions of many public agencies have made obtaining government records a drawn out, lengthy process.
In enacting OPRA, the Legislature declared that some records should be so readily available that the 7-day outer limit is not applicable at all. Some records, such as budgets and contracts, must be made available “immediately.” Simply put, any person should be able to walk into city hall (or send an email to the city clerk) and “immediately” receive a copy of the city’s budget, contracts, vouchers, etc. Unfortunately, this is not always how it works.
As detailed in an article by The Record, a records requestor went to the Clifton Board of Education to obtain a copy of, among other records, a contract between the BOE and a tree cutting service. Initially she was told that she would have to wait 7 business days. Because she wanted the contract for the BOE meeting the next night and knew her rights, the requestor demanded that she was entitled to “immediate” access to the contract. Ultimately, the BOE let her look at the contract, but would not let her take pictures of it with her phone’s camera or have an actual copy of the contract. Even though a copy of the contract had already been made, the BOE’s employee tore that copy up and instead told the requestor that the contract would be released “within 7 business days.” The requestor filed a complaint with the Government Records Council,* alleging it is a violation of both OPRA’s “immediate access” provision. It is also clear that the record was not produced “as soon as possible.”

Central Government today informed the Delhi High Court that transgender people shall now be included as a separate gender category in Prison Statistics Report prepared by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). [Karan Tripathi v. NCRB & ors].
Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma made a statement to this effect before a Division Bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Prateek Jalan.
The Court was hearing a PIL by Karan Tripathi (petitioner) seeking separate data on transgender prisoners in NCRB reports.
ASG Sharma stated that NCRB had issued a communication informing that it intended to classify prisoners as male, female, and transgender people from its report, Prison Statistics India – 2020.
Officials have been directed to prepare for the collection of data; accordingly, NCRB has said. Because of the above decision, the PIL was disposed of.
On the last date of hearing, the Court had asked the Central government to come back with instructions regarding the petitioner’s pending representation.
Prima facie, the prayers are very pertinent and reasonable, the Court had said.
The petitioner had argued that to ensure equality and protection under Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of India’s Constitution, it was imperative to categorize the third gender/transgender people as a separate gender in prison statistics.
Relying heavily on the Supreme Court’s verdict in NALSA v Union of India, the petitioner argued that unless transgender inmates were recognized, the Supreme Court’s guidelines to protect their rights could not be implemented.
Advocate Akhil Hasija represented the petitioner. It was filed through Advocates Yash Mishra, Akhil Hasija, and Manyaa Chandok of Alliance Law Group.

In the fast-paced, digital world of the 21st century, the art of letterpress printing stands as a testament to a time when craftsmanship, patience, and artistry were the cornerstones of printing. Rooted in the historical annals of ancient China and catapulted into prominence by Johannes Gutenberg’s ingenious invention, letterpress printing has not merely survived the test of time; it has evolved, adapted, and experienced a renaissance, captivating the hearts of artisans, collectors, and enthusiasts worldwide. In this extensive exploration, we will embark on a journey through the intricate origins, delve deep into the nuanced letterpress process, explore its impact on various industries, discuss its contemporary revival, and ponder its future in the ever-changing landscape of technology and art.
I. Origins and Evolution: From Woodblocks to Movable Type
The story of letterpress printing begins in ancient China, where woodblock printing was the norm. However, it was Gutenberg’s groundbreaking invention in the 15th century that transformed the world of printing. Movable metal type, a revolutionary concept, allowed for the mass production of books, fundamentally altering the dissemination of knowledge and culture. This evolution paved the way for a vibrant printing industry, giving rise to master craftsmen, skilled compositors, and visionary printers who honed the art of letterpress over centuries.
II. The Letterpress Process Unveiled: A Symphony of Techniques
A. Typesetting: The Art of Precision
Typesetting, the heart of letterpress printing, is a meticulous art that demands patience, precision, and a keen eye for detail. Skilled artisans carefully arrange individual metal or wooden letters and characters in a composing stick, ensuring the accurate formation of words and sentences. The arrangement is not just a mechanical process; it is an artistic endeavor where the compositor plays the role of a sculptor, shaping language and meaning letter by letter.
B. Printing: Where Ink Meets Paper
Once the type is painstakingly set, the printer meticulously applies ink to the typeform. The inked type is then pressed onto paper, creating a tactile impression that is the hallmark of letterpress. The choice of paper, ink viscosity, and printing pressure are not arbitrary; they are deliberate choices made by the printer, each decision contributing to the final aesthetic of the printed piece.
C. The Human Touch: A Dance of Craftsmanship
Unlike modern digital printing, letterpress involves a deeply personal touch. Printers must constantly monitor the ink consistency, adjust the pressure, and maintain the integrity of the type. This intimate involvement of the human hand imparts a soul to each print, making it a testament to the printer’s skill and dedication. Every print becomes a unique creation, bearing the subtle imperfections that reveal its handmade nature.
III. The Impact of Letterpress: Shaping Culture and Commerce
A. Cultural Influence: From Books to Broadsides
In its heyday, letterpress printing played a pivotal role in shaping cultures and societies. It brought literature, philosophy, and art to the masses, enabling the rapid dissemination of ideas. Beyond books, letterpress was instrumental in creating visually captivating broadsides, posters, and newspapers, becoming an essential tool for political movements, advertisements, and public announcements. The tangible quality of letterpress made these printed materials not just informative but also artifacts of historical significance.
B. Commercial Applications: Invitations, Packaging, and Beyond
In the realm of commerce, letterpress printing found a niche in crafting elegant invitations, business cards, and packaging materials. Its ability to create a lasting impression, both visually and tactilely, made it the preferred choice for high-end branding and exclusive events. Even in the digital age, where virtual invitations dominate, the allure of a letterpress invitation remains unparalleled, signifying sophistication and class.
IV. The Resurgence of Letterpress: A Renaissance in the Digital Era
After facing a decline with the advent of offset printing and digital technologies, letterpress printing has experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent decades. Artists, designers, and artisans have rekindled their love affair with this vintage craft, recognizing its unique ability to convey a sense of heritage and authenticity. This revival is not merely a return to tradition; it is a celebration of the tangible, the tactile, and the timeless.
A. Artistic Renaissance: Exploring Creative Boundaries
Contemporary artists have embraced letterpress as a medium for artistic expression, pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques. Experimental letterpress art incorporates elements of collage, mixed media, and even digital technology, resulting in visually stunning and conceptually rich pieces. Letterpress workshops and art studios have become hubs of creativity, where artists explore the synergy between age-old craftsmanship and modern artistic sensibilities.
B. Craftsmanship in the Digital Age: Bridging Tradition and Technology
Ironically, the digital age has become an ally in the resurgence of letterpress printing. Computer-aided design and photopolymer plates have streamlined the pre-press process, making it easier for designers to translate their digital creations into letterpress prints. Online platforms have facilitated global collaborations, enabling artists and printers from different corners of the world to exchange ideas, techniques, and inspiration. Social media has provided a stage for showcasing letterpress creations, fostering a vibrant online community passionate about this craft.
V. Preserving the Craft: Education, Preservation, and Legacy
As the custodians of this ancient art form grow older, there is a pressing need to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. Workshops, apprenticeships, and educational programs have emerged as vital initiatives to preserve the craft of letterpress printing. Universities and institutions with printing programs are ensuring that letterpress remains an integral part of the curriculum, allowing young printers to learn the techniques from seasoned experts.
A. Preservation Efforts: Museums, Archives, and Restoration
The importance of preserving vintage letterpress equipment cannot be overstated. Museums dedicated to printing history and letterpress equipment have become invaluable repositories of knowledge. Preservationists and restoration experts work tirelessly to salvage antique presses and type, ensuring that these relics of the past continue to function. Archival efforts document the evolution of letterpress, preserving not just the physical artifacts but also the stories of the printers who shaped the craft.
B. Legacy and Continuity: Passing the Torch
In the hands of passionate educators and mentors, the legacy of letterpress printing continues to thrive. Through mentorship programs and collaborative initiatives, experienced printers pass on their skills, techniques, and wisdom to the next generation. The continuity of this tradition relies on the willingness of seasoned craftsmen to share their expertise and the enthusiasm of young printers to embrace the challenges and rewards of letterpress.
VI. The Future of Letterpress: Innovation and Preservation
As we gaze into the future, the trajectory of letterpress printing appears to be a harmonious balance between innovation and preservation. While digital technologies continue to influence the craft, there is a resolute commitment to preserving the authenticity and tactile quality that define letterpress. Hybrid techniques, combining letterpress with other forms of printing or artistic expression, are becoming increasingly prevalent, opening new avenues for creative exploration.
A. Hybrid Approaches: Integrating Letterpress with Modern Techniques
The marriage of letterpress with digital printing, laser cutting, and other modern technologies has resulted in innovative and visually striking outcomes. Artists and designers are experimenting with hybrid approaches, seamlessly blending the tactile allure of
letterpress with the precision of digital techniques. This convergence of old and new not only expands the creative possibilities but also introduces letterpress to audiences unfamiliar with its traditional roots.
B. Environmental Considerations: Sustainable Practices
In an era acutely aware of environmental concerns, the letterpress community has embraced sustainable practices. The use of eco-friendly, soy-based inks and the choice of recycled or tree-free papers reflect a conscientious approach to the craft. Printers are exploring ways to minimize waste, recycle materials, and reduce their ecological footprint, ensuring that letterpress remains an environmentally responsible choice for both artists and clients.
The Enduring Legacy of Letterpress Printing
In the intricate dance of metal type and ink, in the symphony of impressions on paper, letterpress printing transcends its utilitarian purpose and becomes a celebration of human creativity. It embodies the spirit of innovation that led Gutenberg to revolutionize printing, the artistry of craftsmen who meticulously set each type, and the timeless appeal of tangible, tactile beauty.
The resurgence of letterpress in the digital age is not merely a nostalgic embrace of the past; it is a testament to the enduring allure of a craft that bridges generations and technologies. Letterpress printing is not just a technique; it is a philosophy—a philosophy that values the deliberate, the meticulous, and the tangible. In an age inundated with ephemeral digital experiences, letterpress offers something tangible, something real.
As we move forward, the craft of letterpress printing stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, heritage and experimentation. It reminds us that amid the whirlwind of technological advancements, there is profound value in honoring our past, preserving our cultural heritage, and cherishing the art forms that encapsulate the human spirit.
In the hands of passionate artisans and the curious minds of future printers, letterpress printing will continue to evolve, adapt, and captivate. Its legacy will not fade; instead, it will flourish, embracing the future while staying rooted in its rich history. The allure of letterpress printing will endure, inspiring generations to come, reminding them that the magic of ink on paper is not just a product of technology but a manifestation of artistry, dedication, and the enduring craft of letterpress printing.


Carl Junction schools push back against a statewide change in sports participation requirements
CARL JUNCTION, Mo. – The Missouri State High School Activities Association makes a temporary change to its by-laws for the upcoming school year: students who choose to learn from home during the pandemic can still participate in school sports — *if* their school permits it. But the athletic director for Carl Junction High School, Rich Neria says CJ schools won’t be changing their rules, and will not allow students who take all their classes at home to play school sports. “We don’t have all the hotspots. We don’t have all the numbers that everybody else is maybe dealing with. And so our rationale is, if they think it’s safe enough to play sports then we think they should be in school.” Neria says he doesn’t foresee any Carl Junction teams being unable to take the field because of student athletes choosing to learn completely from home.

When Cadbury announced earlier this year that it would be bringing back its much-loved (and much-missed) Caramilk bars, Australia went wild. After months of speculation (and even a nationwide petition for its return), the iconic caramelised white chocolate blocks finally appeared on supermarket shelves again.
Caramilk: an Australian obsession
Our foodies were especially excited about Caramilk’s revival and got busy in the taste test kitchen as soon as it became available. We all know how much Aussie love truffles at Christmas time and this week (*spoiler alert*), they’ve been working on creating the most delicious Caramilk truffles you’ve ever tasted.
Made with just three ingredients (chocolate, cream and of course, Caramilk), we’re pretty confident these are going to become this year’s must-make edible Christmas gift. The recipe is fresh from the taste test kitchen, but we couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek before it goes live online in the next couple of weeks.
Meet the Caramilk cheesecake slice
If you can’t wait for the truffles, why not try our incredible Caramilk slice? It’s got a buttery biscuit base, a deliciously creamy cheesecake filling and a melted Caramilk layer on top.
More from Caramilk
We recently revealed that Cadbury has teamed up with Philadelphia to bring you a limited edition Caramilk-flavoured cream cheese. There are also whispers that Caramilk Twirls are coming soon… but we think the truffles will be all you want for Christmas.

Each year, POB asks land surveyors and geospatial professionals about their current and expected capital spending. Based on 2017 forecast and actual spending, expectations moderated and returned to previous-year levels. Respondents told POB in 2016 they expected to spend $187,222 in 2017. As this year’s study, “2014-2017 Point of Beginning Capital Investment Study,” conducted by Clear Seas Research was winding down at the end of September 2017, actual spending looked more like $129,597, 70 percent of what respondents projected in the prior-year study.
Those results aren’t totally unexpected. Surveyors and geospatial professionals vastly exceeded forecast spending in the previous cycle, so some “cooling off” might be expected. Actual spending in 2016 was an average of $207,710, 192 percent of the 2016 budget projections respondents reported in late 2015.
A number of variables affect capital spending, including elections and tax law. Businesses anticipating a bad tax climate may accelerate purchases while the climate is positive, or wait if corporate tax rates could change and favor investment. As POB was going to press, a new tax bill was being debated in the U.S. Congress, and this may be affecting the status of the budget process at many businesses as they evaluate options.
The 2016 presidential election and proposed tax reforms making headlines in late 2017 may have contributed to volatility in planned vs. actual capital spending among surveyors and geospatial professionals.
At the time of the study, many budgets had not yet been approved, but expectations were for similar or increased amounts of capital spending for 2018.
Most of the surveyor’s capital spending budget goes to equipment purchases. Dollar amounts have risen somewhat faster than percentages of the allocation as budgets have generally increased over the years. In most cases (51 percent) purchases are to replace or upgrade equipment.
Equipment and software budget trends remain relatively consistent, with GPS/GNSS leading equipment purchases and CAD software being the top purchase in software. An interesting development is the continued increase in spending on UAV (drone) hardware. In the three years UAVs have been tracked in the Capital Spending study, the amount allocated has increased.
Surveyors clearly like to “kick the tires” when it comes to equipment purchases. Among the top methods for shopping are in-person retail or sales rep visits and trade show visits. It might be inferred that email and phone are good for follow up once the selection process or acquisition has started.
As with some other budget categories, training and support are relatively consistent as a percentage of the whole, but in actual dollar terms, spending has increased dramatically. Spending nearly doubled in dollar terms between 2016 and 2017. Third-party training continues to increase its percentage of training dollars.
The profile of capital spending by surveyors and geospatial professionals always reflects some interesting trends, even when it is not surprising us with dramatic spikes. Whether 2016 was a result of pent up demand for new equipment and software or uncertainty over the U.S. presidential election, it clearly doesn’t appear to represent a new, sustained level of spending. But, within the spending trends, there are some interesting insights.
Spending on UAVs (drones) was expected to increase after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration eased entry by establishing a knowledge-based certification for commercial UAV pilots. It has, indeed, increased, but not in some sort of mad dash to get onboard. Instead, it is a measured growth as surveyors recognize the value of the new technology but look for practical application of the tools. As with most survey technology, commercial UAVs represent a substantial investment. In an either-or choice between a total station and a UAV, many surveyors will see more day-to-day application for the latter and may delay a UAV purchase. This is not only reflected in the investment numbers (both dollars and percentages), it comes across in the reasons surveyors give for capital investments. The top rationale for spending is to upgrade or replace aging technology, followed by improving productivity. Buying equipment to develop new business or enter new markets falls well down the list.
Having observed all of that, there is a new tax bill being proposed and debated. Many respondents to the study, conducted early in the fourth quarter of 2017, said budgets still had not been finalized. After a busy year and with the potential for tax incentives for investment, 2018 could look like 2016. Stay tuned.
