Kaiju-a-gogo is a strategy/action title featuring GIANT MONSTERS. The player takes on the role of a fledgling Mad Scientist who has built the first human-controlled Kaiju in the world. While your rivals race to catch up with your genius and build their own Kaiju to compete with you, you have a five-year-window to use your Kaiju to achieve TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION.
Gameplay consists of glorious city-stomping fun, with points and resources gained by smashing every structure still standing and crushing all the armies, navies, police and giant robots that try to stop you. In between attacks, your Kaiju will return to your Secret Lair, and you will allow the monster to rest while you heal and train it with new Abilities.
As your Kaiju grows in size and power, its new Abilities will make it better, stronger, faster and more terrifying than ever before. Each Kaiju in the game will have dozens of possible Abilities, with players able to explore a different set of abilities in each game.
This machiavellianly brilliant project is currently looking for backers to make it a towering, quite real, achievement by all involved in its ongoing Kickstarter push here.
You'd have to be utterly crazy not to fund it really, and crazier still not to fully prepare yourself for its earthshaking, unavoidable release, come Thanksgiving 2014! Mwahahahahaaaaa!!!

His idea! With Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez‘s recent reunions sparking speculation that the former flames are back together, Kevin Smith found it the perfect time to look back on the real story behind their couple’s name.
“‘Bennifer’ is trending,” the director, 50, tweeted on Monday, May 10, after the exes were spotted together in Montana. “It’s a name I first gave the kids during ‘Jersey Girl’ pre-production, before the world found out they were dating.”
Smith continued, “I’d later drop the name in an interview with the @nytimes. Shortly thereafter, it appeared in the article and then entered the vernacular.”
Lopez, 51, and the Gone Girl star, 48, met in 2001 while working together on Gigli. By the next year, they were engaged, but the pair called it quits in 2004. Though it’s been more than 10 years since their split, the duo have remained close — and fans were convinced they rekindled their romance when they were spotted hanging out in Los Angeles in April.
On Monday, the exes made headlines once again when they were seen sitting side-by-side in an SUV in Big Sky, Montana. The Second Act star and the Argo director “spent several days together” over Mother’s Day weekend.
“It was just the two of them on vacation together. Big Sky is a special place to Ben,” a source exclusively revealed, telling Us that the pair “looked very happy together.”
The Grammy nominee’s hangouts with Affleck come shortly after her split from fiancé Alex Rodriguez. The twosome started dating in 2017 and got engaged two years later. After previously denying breakup rumors in March, Lopez and the ex-MLB player, 45, confirmed one month later that they were going their separate ways.
“We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” they told Today in a joint statement. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
Neither the “Dinero” songstress nor the Justice League actor have addressed the speculation surrounding the current state of their relationship — but fans aren’t the only ones who are excited to see them spending time together. On Tuesday, May 11, Matt Damon threw his support behind his BFF’s getaway with Lopez.
“It’s a fascinating story,” the Bourne Identity star, 50, told Today. “I hope it’s true. I love them both. … That would be awesome.”
Members of the Hustlers star’s inner circle are equally intrigued. “People close to her won’t be surprised if they end up together,” a source recently told Us, noting that Lopez and Affleck have “always loved each other.”

text: I was talking with a friend about pricing. We were both lamenting the fact that too many people underinvest in the results they need. The underinvestment always costs them more than the difference between the price they paid and the price they should have paid.In the world of sales, paying more for the salesperson you need often results in millions in additional revenue. But some sales organizations try to save money, hunting for a bargain when it comes to hiring the talent they need. In the most egregious cases, some sales organizations believe commission-only is a cost savings because they don’t pay when the salesperson doesn’t produce, not recognizing that not paying the salesperson does nothing to increase their revenue or to help them acquire new clients.A lot of people believe it is responsible to pay a lower price. They believe that they are proving that they are responsible, that they are shrewd buyers, that they are value hunters, or that they are excellent negotiators. But none of these are proven by looking at price alone.In the complex business-to-business sale, price tells you very little. A lower price may actually cost you more than you would have paid had you gone with a higher priced offering. Your results may not be nearly as good. You may suffer the cost of lost opportunities. The challenges you have when you don’t get what you want almost exceed any savings you might have gained.You never find better, faster, and cheaper all in the same offering. At best, you may find two of these.In my friend’s world, an increase of a little over 10% gives his clients results that they only dreamed of, and it returns a savings of ten times the additional spend. If you only consider the price, he is more expensive than his competitors. But if you look at the cost, the deal he presents is clearly the best value. To see that, you have to look past the price.You don’t trip over dollars to pick up dimes. Get the Free eBook! Want to master cold calling? Download my free eBook!

Maintenance or Reliability Engineering
The Maintenance or Reliability Engineering role is charged with becoming the quality control point for Maintenance processes,
seeking precision maintenance activities. In this role, the Maintenance or Reliability Engineer reviews the PM and PdM program
for the correct actions at the proper frequency, with the ultimate goal to find equipment in the act of failure before
functional failure occurs.
Additionally, who better to administer the apprenticeship or craft training program and interface with Project Engineering
to ensure proper equipment selection and installation? The Maintenance or Reliability Engineer also champions the use of
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) technologies and the lubrication practices. In effect, by mining equipment history and
eliminating failures in a proactive manner, this individual is free to the organization; replacing their salary 2 to 3
times over in reduced operations and maintenance costs.
Look in your own organization, who is responsible for the execution and results of the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program? Is
it a single point of contact (typically the Maintenance or Reliability Engineer) or is it spread across the maintenance
workforce? What if you have a question, which individual do you ask? The Maintenance or Reliability Engineer is the owner of
the maintenance programs, oversees and reviews the results from, vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, etc. Who owns
and manages your lubrication program ensuring the latest and best lubricates are utilized while minimizing the number of
required lubricants? Again, a Maintenance or Reliability Engineering activity that typically goes un-managed in most
Preventive Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) programs are your most expensive programs to execute. Who's managing
yours? Few organizations can afford to not have this critical function staffed.
People and Processes provides education, along with coaching and mentoring for the Maintenance or Reliability Engineering
function. Using Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodologies, we teach individuals and specific groups the function
and the activities of the Maintenance or Reliability Engineering role.

A slice of life
Having satisfied pizza cravings for over 50 years, Mr Gatti’s Pizza is enjoying a new period of fantastic growth, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future
Founded by James Eure, and named for Colonel Eure’s wife’s maiden name, Gatti, Mr Gatti’s Pizza began existence as ‘The Pizza Place’ in Stephenville, Texas, in 1969. In the early 1970s, Mr Gatti’s headquarters moved to Austin, Texas, where it pioneered the Family Entertainment Center (FEC) concept, combining dining with gaming to create a fun family experience.
After more than a decade without selling new locations, Mr Gatti’s re-commenced franchising in 2019, and despite the many challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Gatti’s has now sold more than 50 new franchises, for a total of 120+ open or in-development locations across eight US states. “So many new franchisees committing to open locations during these times is a powerful testament to the strength of the Mr Gatti’s Brand and our franchise system,” said Jim Phillips, Mr Gatti’s CEO.
Throughout Mr Gatti’s long history, its ‘food first’ philosophy has endured, featuring fan-favorite pizzas made according to the same recipes James Eure and his team developed more than 50 years ago. “Mr Gatti’s pizza is made with fresh, hand-rolled dough prepared daily in each location,” says Jim. “The commitment to food quality continues with a proprietary pizza sauce produced by its long-time vendor partner, Heinz, unique smoked provolone cheese sourced from Leprino, and topped with fresh meats and other toppings provided by Hormel.
“Mr Gatti’s commitment to great food and a fabulous entertainment experience that features pizza, pasta, and a salad bar along with state-of-the-art games has given us our longevity and popularity,” Jim continues. “Whether it’s an old favorite like a pepperoni pizza, or one of Mr Gatti’s signature pizzas like the Gatti’s Deluxe, our unique menu selection is proven in its ability to satisfy our customers’ pizza cravings.”
The Mr Gatti’s brand has enjoyed considerable growth in the last several years, and Jim goes into some detail as to the reasons behind this. “About 25 percent of recent franchise growth has resulted from expansion by existing franchisees. The remaining new franchises sold have been acquired by experienced restaurant operators who love the brand and see its potential. Almost all new franchisee sales have resulted from internally-generated sources emanating from the company’s existing franchise system and website. Almost all of the new franchisees have related their own ‘Mr Gatti’s stories’ about happy childhood memories enjoying Mr Gatti’s food and games. The company’s very attractive unit economics certainly contribute greatly to the appeal of the brand to its investor-operators. Additionally, the franchisor is committed to offering very competitive royalty and add-fee rates and consistent franchise agreement terms to all of its franchisees.
“Management encourages creativity and individual expression from each of its franchisees as they develop their locations. For example, an exciting Mr Gatti’s FEC newly opened in Brenham, Texas, features a remarkable ‘Bellagio Las Vegas’ style fountain in addition to ‘on-tap’ craft beer and wine – the first such concept extension within the Mr Gatti’s family.
“Regardless of the size and location of a Mr Gatti’s store, each restaurant is designed and operated to create a family-friendly and exciting atmosphere.”
One opportunity that the current owners of the company identified prior to their acquisition of the business in 2015, was the potential to manufacture and distribute Mr Gatti’s proprietary products, addressing long requested customer demand. The first of those products – Mr Gatti’s Famous Ranch Dressing – was launched in 2021, after years of research and development, and is now available in select Mr Gatti’s locations and at www.mrgattispizza.com. “Our loyal customer base absolutely loves Mr Gatti’s ranch dressing, creamy Italian dressing, pizza sauce, macaroni and cheese, and other unique recipes that we’ve developed and maintained over the years,” Jim says. “Charlie Kaminsky has served as head of culinary for Mr Gatti’s for more than 35 years and has provided consistent menu direction and innovation during his long career with the company.
“Next up in the line of proprietary products to be launched is Mr Gatti’s Original Creamy Italian Dressing. This long-time favorite is being brought back by the current management team and has undergone more than two years of product research and development. We expect to launch a tangy shelf stable product in addition to a refrigerated mild creamy Italian offering during 2022. An additional half dozen or so proprietary products are slated for development and distribution in the coming years as well as exploring additional channels of distribution in response to customer demand.”
From the franchisees themselves, to the men and women who staff its locations, Mr Gatti’s is a business that considers the ‘people side’ of its operations as its North Star. “Of equal importance to the brand’s commitment to high quality fresh food, is management’s commitment to maintaining a high-integrity, ethical workforce that enjoys a family atmosphere and extends those values to our guests,” Travis Smith, VP of Marketing says. “Our remarkable franchisees go out of their way to support the communities in which they live and work, with heavy involvement in their churches, schools, and local events. The family atmosphere that Mr Gatti’s is famous for is something that starts in each store with the franchisee, their team members, and then extends to the guests they invite to dine and play in their locations.”
As well as benefitting from the amazing work of its people, Mr Gatti’s is also blessed to have a very strong and long-tenured group of vendors. Shawnee Mills, Leprino Cheese, Hormel Meats, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, Consolidated Delivery Systems, Brown Food Service, Hunger Rush, and many others enjoy multi-decade relationships with Mr Gatti’s.
“These strong relationships have proved invaluable during challenging times such as 2020 and 2021, and have contributed greatly to the company’s success,” the brand’s CFO, KC Mann, states, before going on to explain how the business has navigated the Covid-19 pandemic. “Like all in our industry, Mr Gatti’s was highly challenged during the pandemic. Our phenomenal growth and expansion during this difficult time are directly attributable to the outstanding operators among our strong franchisee system. Not a single franchisee gave up during the pandemic. Each franchisee went to extraordinary lengths to maintain their core employee and staff base, avoid layoffs, pivot to emphasizing delivery and carryout alternatives, and remain committed to the Brand’s ‘food-first’ ethos.”
Going forward throughout 2022, and beyond, the brand’s management and franchisees are committed to maintaining the momentum that has been established during the past several years. “It is our expectation that Mr Gatti’s will continue to expand its footprint through the sale of new franchises,” Jim points out. “Tremendous opportunity exists with open markets in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, and the Carolinas. Our growth strategy is to fill-out existing markets and expand throughout the Southeastern United States, bringing Mr Gatti’s back to states where its presence may have been reduced in past years prior to the current ownership and management teams’ stewardship of the brand.
“The franchisees, management, and owners of Mr Gatti’s share a tremendous excitement about the future of the brand. We believe that the ‘food-first’ and ‘family-fun’ atmosphere that each member of the Mr Gatti’s family shares bodes well for the company’s future. Our strong operating economics and the brand’s remarkable strength displayed during the pandemic are great indicators that the unique Mr Gatti’s offering has a place in the hearts of our current guests and future customers throughout the country,” says Jim.

‘Caddie’ takes sports to new levels
So what’s your favorite sport? Most people I know live and breathe football from August until the end of January. Others can’t get enough basketball year round. Hockey fans are rabid about their team. Baseball fans come alive with spring training. But what, exactly, makes a sport a sport? And why do we love sports so much?I often wondered that, which is why I was happy to read “The Caddie Was a Reindeer” by Steve Rushin (c. 2004, Atlantic Monthly Press). Turns out, there’s a sport for just about everybody. They just don’t know it yet, that’s all.Imagine taking almost a month of your life to ride a roller-coaster. Oh, sure, you get five minutes an hour on the ground to eat and take care of other necessary things. You learn to snooze on the spins and drowse on the drops. Your legs become bruised from the safety bar, and you get bragging rights for losing your lunch. There are people who do this all in the name of fun, and Rushin spent time riding with them.Up in the Arctic Circle, there’s a golf course where, if you’re a good golfer or even if you’re not you can hit a ball clear into next week. Conversely, you can also drive a ball into last week. You can simultaneously stand in two countries or tee off on a White Green. And yes, in the northernmost golf course in the world, the caddie is, indeed, a reindeer.When was the last time you thought about those baseball cards you had when you were a kid? Have you ever forgiven your mom for throwing them out, or yourself for using them to make noises with your bike? You’ll be glad to know that baseball cards are still sold, the gum still smells like summertime, and there are still duds to be had when you buy a pack of cards.The chapter I liked the best was surprising to find in a book about sports. Rushin writes about meeting pro Women’s Basketball player Rebecca Lobo, and how he fell in love with a woman he had once made fun of in a national magazine.Author Steve Rushin is a columnist for Sports Illustrated, and while most of the essays in this book are about “conventional” sports, there’s enough in this book to satisfy even the sports non-enthusiast. Most of these essays are playful and lighthearted, although there are two or three chapters that raise thoughtful questions about why we love sports and why we pay homage to the players we follow.Overall, though, I think you’ll enjoy reading “The Caddie Was a Reindeer.” I mean, you’ve got to like a book that starts out telling you what it’s like to interview a man who’s wearing a shirt, jacket, and tie, but nothing else. From there, you know that you’re in for a different kind of sports writing.Pick up a copy of this book. You’ll have a ball reading it. VT

Legislators will consider dropping state's TAKS testing
Legislators may make TAKS a thing of the past
Measures to be filed on Thursday would change the way state measures schools' progress
Published 6:30 am, Wednesday, March 4, 2009
AUSTIN — The much-maligned, high-stakes TAKS test would be eliminated, and more emphasis put on preparing high school students for college or a job, under legislation intended to dramatically change the way education progress is measured in Texas.
“We have counted on testing and testing only. And it’s caused a lot of angst in the schools,” Senate Public Education Chair Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, said Wednesday about the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.
“We’ll still test, but we’re using other variables to give us the results that we need.”

Shapiro and House Public Education Chair Rob Eissler, R-The Woodlands, plan to file the school accountability legislation on Thursday. The changes — which would start in the 2011-12 school year — aim to gradually elevate Texas into the top 10 states when it comes to preparing students for college or equipping them with workforce skills.
Texas ranked 46th in the country last year in the Scholastic Assessment Test scores and last among all states in the percentage of adult population with a high school diploma.
“We want a high school diploma to mean something,” Eissler said.
Graduates entering the skilled workforce will be certified and those heading to college will be better prepared to avoid the need for remediation, he said.
More than 40 percent of Texas high school graduates were not college-ready in at least one subject area, according to a recent study by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
“Right now we focus on the TAKS test performance and what does that mean for college, or what does that mean for a career? Nothing,” Eissler said.
Focus on success
Many parents and teachers have complained for years that educators are forced to teach to the TAKS test and it doesn’t do enough to prepare students from elementary school to high school for success after graduation.
“All of the foibles, all of the fallacies in the system here just became glaring,” Shapiro said.
Local school officials have been anxiously awaiting the details of the new school rating plan, which could change how their campuses are branded to the public.
Alief school board President Sarah Winkler, who is president-elect of the Texas Association of School Boards, said she is hopeful the new system will give schools credit for noticeably improving student test scores.
“Even if your children are performing below level, if they improve more than a year’s worth during a school year, you ought to get credit,” Winkler said. “The goal in the end is for the student to be successful.”
Two types of diploma
The new legislation would mean students in grades three, five, eight and 11 would not have to pass TAKS exams to be promoted to the next grade level.
“It’s hard on the younger ones to have the high stakes,” Winkler said. “Parents do not like it. I can tell you that.”
The legislative proposal contemplates a “Texas diploma” for college-bound students and a “standard diploma” for those seeking skilled workforce training and a related career. The standard diploma would require three years of English and one year of algebra.
“This diploma will be in a field that says you are certified and are skilled workforce ready,” Shapiro said.
Students would be measured by individual improvement instead of a single test score. Existing “exemplary” “recognized” and “acceptable” ratings for schools and school districts will be eliminated and replaced by an “accreditation tier” focused on individual student achievement based on readiness for college or career.
High school, middle school and elementary school campuses also can earn distinctions for excellence in a variety of areas, such as growth in student achievement, workforce readiness, second language learning, fine arts and physical fitness.
Student testing “will cover more than minimum skills,” Eissler said. Tests will be given in each grade level in an effort to get “an instant growth indicator,” Eissler said, measuring a student’s academic improvement from one year to the next.

Memory can be a luxury, especially when age catches up with one and the escapades of one's youth begin to recede surreptitiously into the recesses of the mind. However, for Lieutenant Colonel (rtd) Geoffrey Kiambuthi Kinuthia, whose memory is still sharp and whose pen is agile, the days of his youth remain clear like a blue sky on a sunny day.
"Good memories are the most precious of treasures," he writes in the preface to his self-published autobiography, An Old Soldier Never Dies, which came out barely a month ago. "Nurtured and caressed, they remain with us; like favourite books to be plucked from a shelf and enjoyed."
Kiambuthi is one of the few Kenyan soldiers who have taken the uncommon step to tell their stories. And he peppers his narrative with hilarious anecdotes, including the fact that he is not sure who his biological grandfather was because his grandmother had walked out of her matrimonial home when she begot Kiambuthi's father.
"That story is not a fictional folktale but is as real as I am sitting here writing it and, to be honest, was quite traumatic when I was first told about it."
At the heart of that story is the question of identity. Who was he? Did he belong to Kinoo, the village where he was born in Kiambu, or was he an outsider on account of the fact that his father had roots at the Coast? And could this, in the final analysis, have informed his decision to eventually settle in Kilifi after he voluntarily retired from the military in 1980?
Kiambuthi's story is not your usual autobiography. It is told in episodes as his memory guided him. One of the hilarious bits is the story of a villager called Kaniaru, who had consulted a witchdoctor because he was obsessed with the question of his own death. The witchdoctor warned him that his death would be caused by a buffalo.
So when a buffalo was spotted in their village, he was guided to safety as the animal was speared to death and its head chopped off. When Kaniaru's friends called him out to see the animal, he slipped on the entrails and fell onto the buffalo’s head. The horns pierced him as he fell and he died instantly.
As a young boy, Kiambuthi had many encounters with the military during the colonial times. One of his uncles fought in the first World War in Tanzania before deserting. And as a boy, he was accompanying his father to Nairobi when he came across British soldiers in their ceremonial uniforms, and in his mind, they looked like gentlemen.
He could not reconcile the image he was seeing with the reputation of the soldiers in their hunt for the Mau Mau.
And on his first day in school, he was caned because he had failed to make a proper left turn when assembly was dismissed. Unknown to the boy, he would one day become a soldier, although the influences that would lead him in that direction were all around him.
In high school, Kiambuthi enjoyed English literature, reading Shakespeare and DH Lawrence.
"My only worthy rival (was) a quiet boy called Peter Mwaura, who eventually became an illustrious journalist," he recalls. Mwaura would later rise to become editor-in-chief of the Nation Media Group. He is currently the group's Public Editor.
The author's military life is equally colourful.
"During registration at Sandhurst," he writes, "I was found to be underweight. I was therefore entitled to a pint of milk every morning."
It was also at Sandhurst that he met his future wife, Elizabeth Wanjiru, who was training as a nurse in Warwickshire.
Kiambuthi's last posting was at the Armed Forces Training College, Lanet, where he served as Commander of the Combat Wing under General David Tonje, who was then the commandant. He did not last there long before resigning.
"I passed the ridge of prosperity and honour, and began to rapidly descend the other side," he writes. "I was completely unprepared for the rigours of the civil street."
In the end, he tried many business ventures which failed before eventually starting a school which is flourishing to this day.
"That is the mixed bag that is my past," he writes, and how rich and hilarious it is.
Kiambuthi’s book should serve as an encouragement to others who feel strongly compelled to share their life stories. What is more, it is not your usual style of writing. This is a narrative that any reader will enjoying sinking their teeth into for it looks at the good as well as the bad in his life.
Of course, he has also had a colourful public life, including an unforgettable moment with Kenya’s founding president Jomo Kenyatta, who needed an intelligence brief from him, and former Ethiopian leader Haile Selassie and other public figures, which situates him in the public space. But he is also careful in selecting what to tell and what to keep close to his chest.
This is a book stores should stock.

|Corrosion-free Polyvalves from Kerotest Manufacturing come in standard and full-port design, from 0.5 to 12-in. diameters. The valves are made of medium and high-density polyethylene.|
|Kerotest engineers used FEA software from Algor Inc. to optimize the polyethylene valves. The software will also assist as the company designs higher-pressure water valves.|
Engineers at Kerotest Manufacturing Corp., Pittsburgh (www.kerotest.com), turned to FEA to design standard and full-port, natural-gas valves in plastic. "Our goals were to make a line of polyethylene valves that outperform the competition, offer more features, and cost less," says Richard Conley, chief engineer at the company. Conley's team selected FEA software from Algor Inc., Pittsburgh (www.algor.com), to optimize the valve designs.
The team used FEA to identify excess material on initial Polyvalve designs while maintaining consistent structural integrity. "The ODs at the ends must match standard pipe diameters," said Conley. "But inner and outer diameters of the valve's center need a wall thickness that withstands working pressures. Emerging trends in the gas industry pointed to a maximum design pressure of 125 psi. That's more than the current industry standard."
Richard Adams, senior design engineer at the company, and Conley experimented with many designs to find the best wall thicknesses and shapes for the valve interiors and transitions to connecting pipe. Their changes removed material in some places and lowered stresses in others. "The design passed prototype testing on the first attempt," says Adams. The next step is to use FEA and design the valve to meet water industry standards, which call for higher pressures and different safety factors.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A 23-year-old bystander was shot and killed during a fight in a South Carolina Waffle House parking lot, according to authorities.
The victim was identified Sunday as Briawna Nabors, the Charleston County Coroner’s Office said.
Two men were engaged in an argument that turned into a physical fight outside the North Charleston restaurant around 1 a.m. Saturday when one of the men pulled out a gun and fired it, news outlets quoted police as saying. Nabors and two other bystanders were struck, police said.
Nabors was pronounced dead at the scene and the two other victims were taken to a hospital for treatment, according to officials.
Both of the people involved in the fight also were injured, the Post and Courier reported. A suspect was in custody at a hospital, the newspaper quoted North Charleston Deputy Chief Scott Deckard as saying.
The suspect and victims were not immediately identified and police were continuing to investigate.


Kingston (Jamaica): Pedro Collins emerged as a surprise star with three wickets to put the West Indies on the verge of winning the fifth and final Test against India here on Tuesday.
The left-arm fast bowler dismissed a dangerous-looking Sachin Tendulkar for 86 to dash India's hopes of successfully chasing a record 408-run target to win the match and series, currently tied at 1-1. India wobbled after Tendulkar's departure, reaching 237 for seven at stumps on the fourth day at the Sabina and needing 171 more runs to win with three wickets in hand. Wicket-keeper Ajay Ratra was batting on 16 with tailender Zaheer Khan (4). Fast bowler Adam Sanford then saw to it that Collins' brilliant effort did not go waste as he finished with three for 48 off 19 overs on a day when strike bowlers Mervyn Dillon and Cameron Cuffy went wicketless. Only two teams have so far chased a target of more than 400 in the fourth innings to win a match in the history of Test cricket, with India scoring 406 for four against the West Indies at Port of Spain in 1975-76 and Australia making 404 for three against England at Leeds in 1948. India's chances of repeating the 1976 feat largely depended on Tendulkar, who returned to form with a blazing knock after scoring just 49 in his previous five Test innings. Collins, however, swung the match in his team's favour in his opening over after tea when he knocked back Tendulkar's off stump with the one that kept a bit low. Tendulkar posed the main threat to the West Indies with his rich and exciting stroke play during his 32nd half-century in 96 Tests, hitting 13 fours in his 139-ball knock before playing a wrong line to be bowled. He shared a 93-run stand for the fourth wicket with skipper Saurav Ganguly (28), who along with Venkatsai Laxman fell to poor shot-selection. Tendulkar, 28, also became the 10th batsman in the world to complete 8,000 Test runs when he reached 82 in the last over before tea, cutting off spinner Carl Hooper for his 12th four. Tendulkar raced to his half-century with a flurry of shots, square-driving and pulling Dillon for two successive fours and then driving through mid-wicket for a three to complete his 50 off 83 balls. Ganguly departed six runs after Tendulkar, pulling Sanford straight to Ramnaresh Sarwan at square-leg to leave his team tottering at 176 for five and praying for rain. Laxman, the last specialist batsman, became Sanford's third victim after having batted well for 65 minutes as he was caught pulling by Dillon, who ran back to take an acrobatic catch at mid-wicket. The tourists' plight would have been worse had Hooper not dropped Ratra at second slip off Sanford when the batsman was on nine. India had made a shaky start in pursuit of a record target as it faltered against Collins, who removed both the openers in the space of six runs in his first two overs. Collins rocked India with a wicket in his opening over, having Wasim Jaffer caught flicking by Wavell Hinds at forward short-leg for seven. He then trapped Shiv Das leg before for 10 in his next over to end a disappointing tour for the opener, who contributed 124 in five Tests without a half-century. India suffered another blow when Rahul Dravid (30) was adjudged leg before off Sanford after looking solid during his 78-minute stay at the crease. Dravid had been middling the ball well in his 58-ball knock, hitting six fours before he departed looking a bit surprised by Zimbabwean umpire Russell Tiffin's decision. Earlier, Collins had troubled India as a batsman when he scored a career-best 24 as the hosts lost their remaining three wickets for 32 in 8.2 overs after resuming at 165for seven. He chanced his arms, hitting two fours in his 75-ball knock to ensure his team gained an overall lead of more than 400. He added 20 to his overnight score of four before being bowled by Harbhajan Singh while trying to pull. Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the first to go, lofting Zaheer over mid-on for a boundary and then offering a return catch in the same over after adding four to his overnight score of 55. The left-hander batted 172 minutes for his second successive half-century, playing a major role in his team scoring 116 for the last five wickets.

Are Sexual Issues Keeping You From Having a Fulfilled Sex Life?
Do you constantly make up with excuses to avoid having sex because you lack desire, experience pain during intercourse or because you can’t orgasm?
Perhaps you experience sexual performance anxiety due to premature ejaculation issues, you can’t ejaculate or erectile dysfunction.
Or, perhaps you encountered unexpected changes in your sex drive and/or performance after pregnancy, a diagnosis or from a previous sexual trauma, and now you’re afraid that you’ll never be able to enjoy sex again.
Are you afraid to pursue a relationship because you’re too embarrassed and fear that a new partner will reject you?
Do you wish you could just enjoy a connected, fulfilling sex life?
Living with a sexual disorder can be a lonely, confusing and overwhelming experience. Sexual issues can cause dating issues, painful disconnection in your marriage or intimate relationships and can leave you feeling frustrated and without hope of recovery. Even if you want to enjoy intimacy with your partner, the thought of painful sex, erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction or an orgasm disorder may have you feeling like a failure, disappointed with yourself and your partner.
If you’re thinking of giving up and you feel sexually inadequate and no longer worthy or capable of a healthy sex life, you are not alone and hope and help are available.
Many People Experience Intimacy Issues
Studies show that in the United States, about 43% of women and 31% of men aged 18-59 experience sex issues, and these statistics increase with age for both genders.
There are a variety of ways that sexual dysfunction manifests and signs and symptoms can look differently for individuals with the same diagnosis. Therefore, it’s important to be properly diagnosed by a physician in order to receive a thorough evaluation as well as options for treatment, which may include pharmaceutical or natural remedy support and psychotherapy.
While both physiologic and psychological components may exist, stress is a common underlying factor that exacerbates symptoms, and can include stress related to relationships and family, jobs, finances, challenges with depression, anxiety, health issues, substance use and past sexual trauma. Cultural stigmas about sex and sexuality may also create additional stressors, including concerns about self-esteem and body image, exploring alternative relationship models, like open relationships and polyamory, LGBT issues and more. No matter where you’re at in life, the good news is that sexual dysfunction doesn’t have to mean your sex life is over.
Sexual Dysfunction Counseling Can Help You Reclaim a Healthy and Vibrant Sex Life
In our society, sexual dysfunction is usually kept private and rarely discussed, leaving individuals and partners to suffer alone while feeling too embarrassed to seek help. However, if you don’t work to resolve these important challenges now, your struggles may persist and even worsen. I know that getting this conversation started can be a difficult initial step, but once you’re committed to your recovery, lasting relief becomes possible.
Sexual dysfunction counseling for individuals offers a non-judgmental environment for you to share your innermost concerns, desires and experiences. Together, we will work toward identifying the root cause of what’s interfering with your sexual performance and enjoyment. Even if you’re experiencing problems related to a congenital, post-surgical or other conditions that have resulted in permanent physical impairment, sex counseling can help ease your suffering and improve your relationships, including the one you have with yourself.
I am deeply committed to honoring and supporting your beautiful, unique sexual identity, orientation and expression, and I respect any cultural, religious or spiritual values you may have about sex and sexuality. I work collaboratively with my clients to address their distinct concerns. I also provide tailor-made techniques and exercises that are meant to immediately improve your overall quality of life and understanding of your problem.
My approach is holistic, and I draw on my extensive background in body-mind modalities. Our sessions together may incorporate somatic-based, present-centered approaches and flexible strategies to guide you along your path to sexual healing and wellness. With over 20 years of experience and specific training in issues related to sexual dysfunction from the Buehler Institute, I am confident that I can work effectively with whatever concerns you might have.
Even if you’ve lost all hope for ever having sex again, with the guidance of a trained and empathic sex therapist, you can experience the pleasurable and vital sex you always wanted.
Maybe you still have concerns about whether or not sexual dysfunction counseling is right for you…
If this is a physical issue, shouldn’t I be working with a physician instead?
Because of the complex nature of sexuality, it can be difficult, impossible even, to separate the emotional or psychological components from the physiological ones. Depending on your diagnosis, symptoms and other factors, your doctor may prescribe medication or offer other options for treatment, including psychosexual therapy. Many physicians are aware of the important mind-body connection and will refer their patients to a qualified professional.
Isn’t sexual dysfunction just a normal part of aging or something that happens to intimate relationships over time?
While it’s common for individuals to experience sexual challenges with age, such as getting and maintaining an erection or feeling a lack of desire, sexual dysfunction and related dissatisfaction is not a normal part of aging. Although changes in your sexual performance can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal shifts from pregnancy or low testosterone, job-related stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, alcohol consumption and other health conditions, sexual dysfunction therapy can help reduce that stress and address the psychological root causes that interfere with your ability to maintain a healthy relationship with sex.
I’ve never experienced a satisfying sex life. Can therapy still help me?
Sexual dysfunction counseling can be a vital step towards achieving a satisfying sex life. Beyond working to pinpoint specific emotional factors surrounding your sexual challenges, intimacy counseling can facilitate and support your self-discovery process as an evolving sexual being. Sexuality includes a broad spectrum of sensations, pleasures, experiences and activities that can be shared with others or enjoyed solo. Relationship counseling can also be beneficial when conflicts arise around sexual performance in a partnership.
You Can Enjoy a Fulfilling Sex Life
I invite you to contact me to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation to discuss any questions you may have regarding my approach counseling for sexual dysfunction.

Guide to having your say on Marine Parks management plans including Sanctuary Zones in South Australia
Have your say on SA's Marine Parks - our kit helping you to be part of the process is ready for download.
After years of research and consultation the SA Government released the management plans including zoning for SA’s 19 new Marine Parks on 26th August 2012.
This represents a crucial stage in the history of marine conservation in South Australia. As a community that cares about the future of our marine life we have until the 22nd of October to make comment on the proposed management plans, including zoning.
The Parks are designed within a ‘multiple use’ framework with areas within each park zoned for different uses. The centerpiece of the Marine Parks network is the Sanctuary Zones. These are the core areas of high conservation value that will deliver the best protection for our precious marine life and ecosystems. Habitat protection zones are there as a ‘buffer’ for the core sanctuary zone areas and restrict some potentially damaging uses.
It is important that as many people as possible express their support for sanctuary zones to ensure that these important areas are protected for the future.
The latest from The Wilderness Society regarding SA Marine Parks is available at: www.wilderness.org.au/samarine
This kit is designed to help those wanting to make a detailed and personalised submission to the consultation process. For those seeking a quicker easier way to have your say you can use our pro-forma online action available online by visiting www.wilderness.org.au/samarine or scanning the code on the last page of the kit.

Kit text: the information below is more easily read by downloading the pdf version of the kit. It is reproduced here for those with very limited downloads and to assist with people seeking this information via a search engine.
To assist you to have your say we outline below some of the points you may wish to make in your input into the process. These are arranged by issue, suggested response and supporting references.
The Sanctuary Zones as outlined in the management plans - general comments
- I support the introduction of Sanctuaries within South Australia’s Marine Parks. Sanctuaries are the core protection in any marine parks network;
- I note that the proportion of State Waters proposed to be protected in Sanctuaries is well short of the level recommended by international scientific consensus and international agreements. Any decrease to the number or size of Sanctuaries within the current proposal would be entirely unacceptable;
- Furthermore, I recommend that Sanctuaries be increased in size and number where possible.
The Sanctuary Zones as outlined in the management plans - specific comments
I would like to highlight my support for large Sanctuaries in areas of high conservation value including:
• Nuyts Reef, SZ1 Nuyts Archipelago Marine Park;
• Isles of St Francis, SZ8 Nuyts Archipelago Marine Park;
• Pearson Island, SZ1 Investigator Marine Park;
• KI upwelling, Cape du Couedic, Cape Borda, SZ1, SZ3, SZ2 Western Kangaroo Island Marine Park;
• Seal Bay RAZ1 and SZ1 Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park;
• Coorong / Murray mouth, SZ7.
Areas deserving of Marine Sanctuary protection not covered in the proposed plans
SA has many special marine places that will not be adequately protected by the draft plans. In particular areas excluded from the current proposal that should be protected in Sanctuaries include:
• Franklin and Eyre Islands off the Ceduna coast, within and nearby HPZ8 Nuyts Archipelago Marine Park;
• Top Gallant Isles off the Elliston coast, located within HPZ2 Investigator Marine Park;
• Cape Blanche and Nicholas Baudin Island including the coastline adjacent to the Cape Blanche and Nicholas Baudin Island Conservation Parks within HPZ1 West Coast Bays Marine Park;
• The coastline adjacent to Cape Gantheaume Wilderness Area on Kangaroo Island, located in Habitat Protection Zone HPZ2 within Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park,
• The waters of D’estrees Bay within HPZ1 Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park;
• Nepean Bay (Cygnet River Mouth) within HPZ5 and GMUZ5 Encounter Marine Park;
• The coastline adjacent to Deep Creek Conservation Park, within HPZ5 Encounter Marine Park;
• The coastline adjacent to Innes National Park, within HPZ2 Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park.
• Giant Cuttlefish breeding grounds, extension of SZ-6 within the Upper Spencer Gulf Marine park
• More protection for the Murray Mouth region, extension of SZ-7 within the HPZ 6 and GMUZ-7 zones, within the Encounter Marine park

The combination of peak season holiday imports with pandemic spikes and surges is snarling the global flow of shipping containers, causing empty containers to linger in storage depots even as demand for their capacity soars, an industry report said today.
Container availability across China is still at a record low, while U.S. ports are overwhelmed by a surge of shipping containers from Asia, full of products that retailers are eager to get on shelves for the holidays, according to the report from Container xChange, a German firm that helps forwarders avoid demurrage and detention charges by accessing third party container equipment.
Part of the reason for the blockage is the large variation in the time that containers sit unused between different countries, Container xChange said. Worldwide, containers spend a global average of 45 days empty in depots, although they are “very much in need,” the report said.
However, that average delay is much higher in regions with low container availability— such as China and the U.S.—reaching 61 and 66 days respectively. That compares to a scant, 21-day average in the Middle East and a 23-day average in Europe
The report gives extra credence to industry concerns about container shortages, which recently led U.S. government regulators to open an investigation into the enforcement of ocean carrier and marine terminal practices. The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) launched its fact finding mission, citing “potentially unreasonable practices of carriers and marine terminals regarding container return, export containers, and demurrage and detention charges.”
