Update: I posted a new article showing you how to mount your GoPro camera on your bike fork using the helmet mount. Everyone these days is interested in either how to make more money or how to spend less money. This post will help you accomplish the latter. If you bought or intend to buy the GoPro HD camera you may not need the Roll Bar Mount ($30) or Handlebar Seat Post Mount ($20) because you can replace them both with the helmet mount that comes in the package. Of course you will need to pull a little harder on those straps in order to get a good fix but that's okay for an improvisation mount. The angle shots you can get depend on your ability to mount the action camera all over your mountain bike - naturally, one place at a time. :-) You only have to carry the helmet mount and the small two-piece arm for implementing the tips below. How To Improvise GoPro Camera Mounts for Your Mountain Bike Using only the Helmet Mount Lateral mount on bike frame, on what is called the down tube. Strap the helmet mount either directly on the tube or use the bottle cage for passing the straps around the thin metal profile. You can have the camera pointed forward - which is great for shooting the road/single-track ahead and the suspension fork at work - or backward - which is cool for shooting the landscape you leave behind, your lower legs and your feet pedaling.
Lateral rear mount on the seat stay and chain stay tubes. This mount is pretty close to the wheel so make sure the loose ends of the straps are knotted or folded as to not be caught in the spokes in any way (don't let them hang freely). Point the camera backwards or forward or even upwards (oblique - this way you can be within the footage frame - you're the star). The moving wheel and the speedy spokes will create an interesting video to watch. You can also bend the small goose-neck arm in order to have the camera below the chain stay, closer to the ground. The upside down footage will be rotated 180° later in your video editor.
Camera mount on top tube. In some bikes the top tube has three small guiding tubes for the metal cables in the rear brake, the front and rear derailleur. These small tubes, the ones below the saddle, are the ones we're referring to. Place the helmet mount on these tubes and the padding material (soft spongy rubber) under the plastic mount will adhere and embrace the tubes granting a firm hold for the camera. If you place the mount slightly offset (not perfectly centered) you will get one arm of the suspension fork in your bike clip.
Lateral mount on the head tube and down tube. The straps go between the top tube and the down tube and around the head tube in variant No. 1. In variant No.2 one strap goes under the down tube and gets out to meet the helmet mount between the head tube and down tube while the other strap starts from under the down tube and wraps the head tube. If I got you confused (with all those tubes) disregard the explanations and study the pictures below. You can get front shots, lateral shots (point the camera outwards, perpendicular on the down tube tube) and back shots.
Seat rails mount (under the saddle). Strap the vented helmet mount around the seat rails under your mountain bike's saddle. Slide the camera onto the mount and you're good to go. Flip the footage in your video editing software.
Upside down mount on down tube. Strap the mount on the down tube, under the frame. The camera can be fixed into place with or without the small arm (footage may be shaky when shot with small arm due to amplification of trepidations - not the case when cycling on smooth surface). Try to shoot upwards for capturing yourself and your bike contrasting against the sky - that's cool! There you have it. No need to buy any additional mounts - just use what you have already and do your thing. Extra tip: It's advisable to carry a screwdriver or a multi tool for tightening the screws in the joints of the camera arm. Turning the knobs by hand is not enough. You may easily reach 30 miles per hour while speeding downhill on the single-track - the camera mount must be solidly fixed in place.
I didn't come up with these ideas. I'm not that smart. These were suggested by fellow blogger and mountain biker Mihai Siman and by Sorin Ciribasa.
Be cheap and resourceful! Keep riding your bike!
Love your videos - keep meaning to subscribe but haven't yet. Great shoutout to fellow bloggers and idea folks.
hey! i was going to ask you about this..if the helmet mount was usefull in the bike frame!! as you know they send me the motorsports model, and now the helmet mount its way cheeper than the rollbar mount here (almost half price) this article was just i was looking for!! thanks constantin!!
Hello Raul! I'm glad you can use to your advantage the info I put up here.
I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Stay put until you get better.
Thanks Adi! I'll do my best to come back with other GoPro HD tips.
Do you have any problems with jittery video or the camera shaking on these mounts?
I used to have shaky footage but I solved it with duct tape - I added two thin stripes on the slide-in buckle. The new Hero HD comes with a small orange rubber that's supposed to keep the camera firm on the slide mounts.
Thanks for the tips.... Here's one for you. Get rid of that stupid reflector so you don't look like such a dork. Your trails must be really easy because a around here a reflector stays on a bike for about 5 seconds of the first down hill.
Thanks, just the info i was surfing for.

Divergent views of the new Sharing Economy abound. Award-winning social entrepreneur Benita Matofska describes it as a "socio-economic ecosystem" benefitting all suppliers and buyers. "Human rights are respected [… and] value is seen not purely as financial value, but wider economic, environmental and social value are equally important." She concludes that it is "… business as a force for good."
Sarah Kessler acknowledges that five years ago the sharing economy "seemed like a warm and fuzzy inevitability." The concept continues to evolve but it seems to this observer that its name needs to change. "Sharing [is] to partake of, use, experience, occupy, or enjoy with others," according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, yet its products and services are more accurately transacted by "the amount paid by a hirer of personal property to the owner for the use thereof." This is the definition of "rent," a word with far-less warm and fuzzy associations than "shared." Because the actual providers are "individuals working as third-party contractors, rather than full-time employees," Alex Hern calls it "the gig economy."
The sharing economy's most notable survivors – such as Uber, Etsy and Airbnb – take a significant share of the rent for their connecting the interested parties. Skeptics, such as economist Dean Baker, claim that the new sharing is "largely based on evading regulations and breaking the law." How can Uber not make a profit when it operates without any expenses for cars, gas, maintenance, or employee benefits? It didn't even have risk insurance until it lost a court case. But let's drop these esoteric questions here. Sharing companies are certain to evolve under law and regulation; they are just as certain to be part of our future.
What thought should we have if we are considering joining a sharing economy organization?
Expect to be independent. There's no water cooler to overhear gossip or others' concerns. It will be nearly impossible to rally worker support against misguided management. Your boss will barely know you; for career development, you're on your own.
One study found the top two draws for workers are directly related to our being independent contractors instead of employees. There is great flexibility is setting our work schedules. This is particularly useful when, as independents, we may have many conflicts with other gigs.
We also have the ability to earn more money than we would as employees – but be aware of your higher costs as you negotiate your pay. As non-employees, we have higher taxes and no paid leave. We are the providers of all tools, maintenance, operating supplies, and overhead (some of which we may need to purchase ahead of time). We have no medical coverage with our independent status, and we have far more exposure to lawsuits. Even with due diligence, we may vastly underestimate our insurance and legal expenses.
With little interaction with management, no one at our employer's will see our competence on the job. Our performance is judged solely by customer ratings. So we must be warm and engaging with our customers, leading Rogers and others to call Sharing Economy work "emotional labor." Customer feedback is highly subjective, and their biases result in disadvantages for racial minorities, some ethnicities, genders, ages, and so on.
The relative lack of management and peer collaboration in the Sharing Economy make career development a challenge. Owen Thomas says the "'no-management' structure is called Holacracy, where decision making is spread throughout the organization and people have roles rather than job titles."
Airbnb VP of Engineering Mike Curtis told Thomas, "Managers are basically facilitators, [existing] to get obstacles out of people's way." Some anonymous employee reviews on Glassdoor describe the environment as "disorganized chaos." Others call it "inspiring," but acknowledge that employees must "take ownership" and solve problems rather than complain about them.
In summary, the Sharing Economy is here to stay, although who knows where its evolution will take it? It offers great independence and flexibility, but at the cost of losing the risk protections of traditional employment. With limited mentorship opportunities, workers must have an entrepreneurial mindset and the self-discipline to manage their own career development.

UN voices grave concern after dozens die in bomb blast in Syrian capital
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council today voiced grave concern at the deteriorating situation inside Syria after an apparent suicide bomb attack in the capital, Damascus, left many people dead or injured.
Media reports indicate as many as 26 people were killed in the attack earlier today near a busy intersection in Damascus, with almost 50 others injured.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr. Ban condemned the terrorist attack and offered his sympathies to the families of the victims and to the people and Government of Syria.
He noted that thousands of people have lost their lives across Syria since a popular uprising began in March last year, part of the Arab Spring movement that has engulfed the Middle East and North Africa and toppled several long-standing regimes.
"All violence is unacceptable and must stop," the statement stressed.
The Security Council in a press statement also expressed deep sympathy and sincere condolences to the victims of the "heinous act" and to their families and the Syrian people.
Members of the Council reaffirmed that "terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed."
The Council reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the UN Charter. It reminded States that they must ensure that measures taken to combat terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law.
In response to a reporter's question at UN Headquarters, Mr. Ban commended the efforts of the League of Arab States to find a peaceful end to the bloody unrest in Syria. He said the UN stands ready to provide any technical assistance to the League's monitors in Syria, through the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"By upgrading the MetroAccess fleet, we will be able to provide more reliable and comfortable service to our customers with disabilities," said Assistant GM, Access Services, Christian Kent.
The vans are manufactured by Ford with modifications performed by Transit Works in Akron, Ohio, at a total cost of $65,000 per vehicle. Equipped with fuel-efficient V-6 engines, the vans are projected to achieve up to 10% better fuel economy than the vans they replace. Metro projects nearly $200,000 in fuel savings for the transit agency in the first year, while also reducing the environmental impact.

This is the 19th Construction Phase Monthly EM&A Report for the Project which summarizes the monitoring results and audit findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 to 31 July 2017.
The key activities of the Project carried out in the reporting period included deep cement mixing (DCM) works and trials, laying of sand blanket and geotextile, site preparation works, site office establishment and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) works.
The monthly EM&A programme was undertaken in accordance with the Manual of the Project. During the reporting period, the ET conducted 30 sets of construction dust measurements, 20 sets of construction noise measurements, 13 events of water quality measurements, 2 complete sets of small vessel line-transect surveys and 5 days of land-based theodolite tracking survey effort for Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) monitoring and waste monitoring. Construction works on Sheung Sha Chau Island was suspended during the ardeid's breeding season (between April and July). The ecological monitoring is therefore suspended.
On the implementation of Marine Mammal Watching Plan (MMWP), dolphin observers were deployed by the contractors for laying of open sea silt curtain and laying of silt curtains for sand blanket in accordance with the plan. On the implementation of Dolphin Exclusion Zone (DEZ) Plan, dolphin observers at 12 to 15 dolphin observation stations were deployed for continuous monitoring of the DEZ by all contractors for DCM works in accordance with the DEZ Plan. Trainings for the proposed dolphin observers were provided by the ET prior to the aforementioned works, with the training records kept by the ET. From the contractors' MMWP observation records and DEZ monitoring records, no dolphin or other marine mammals were observed within or around the silt curtains, whilst there were two records of dolphin sighting within the DEZs of DCM works in this reporting month. Audits of acoustic decoupling for construction vessels were also carried out by the ET.
On the implementation of the Marine Travel Routes and Management Plan for High Speed Ferries of SkyPier (the SkyPier Plan), the daily movements of all SkyPier high speed ferries (HSFs) in July 2017 were in the range of 20 to 93 daily movements, which are within the maximum daily cap of 125 daily movements. A total of 846 HSF movements under the SkyPier Plan were recorded in the reporting period. All HSFs had travelled through the Speed Control Zone (SCZ) with average speeds under 15 knots (9.9 to 14.0 knots), which were in compliance with the SkyPier Plan. One ferry movement with minor deviation from the diverted route is under investigation by ET. The investigation result will be presented in the next monthly EM&A report. In summary, the ET and IEC have audited the HSF movements against the SkyPier Plan and conducted follow up investigation or actions accordingly.
The monitoring works for construction dust, construction noise, water quality, construction waste, and CWD were conducted during the reporting period in accordance with the Manual.
No exceedance of the Action or Limit Levels in relation to construction dust, construction noise, construction waste, and CWD monitoring was recorded in the reporting month.
The water quality monitoring results for turbidity, total alkalinity, and chromium obtained during the reporting period did not trigger their corresponding Action and Limit Levels stipulated in the EM&A programme for triggering the relevant investigation and follow-up procedures under the programme if being exceeded. For DO, SS, and nickel, some of the testing results exceeded the relevant Action or Limit Levels, and the corresponding investigations were conducted accordingly. The investigation findings concluded that the exceedances were not due to the Project.
● Site formation and excavation works.
Remarks: ^Only exceedance of Action or Limit Level related to Project works is counted as Breaches of Action or Limit Level.
This is the 19th Construction Phase Monthly EM&A Report for the Project which summarizes the key findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 to 31 July 2017.
The key activities of the Project carried out in the reporting period included DCM works and trials, laying of sand blanket and geotextile, site preparation works, site office establishment and HDD works.
Calibration certificates of the sound level meters and acoustic calibrators used in the noise monitoring provided in Appendix B of the Construction Phase Monthly EM&A Report No. 9 and Appendix D of the Construction Phase Monthly EM&A Report No. 17 are still valid. The equipment calibrated in July 2017 is provided in Appendix E.
As the construction activities were far away from the monitoring stations, major sources of noise dominating the monitoring stations observed during the construction noise impact monitoring were road traffic and helicopter noise at NM1A, helicopter and aircraft noise at NM3A, road traffic, aircraft, and helicopter noise at NM4, aircraft and helicopter noise at NM5, and insect, aircraft, and marine vessel noise at NM6 in this reporting month.
General water quality monitoring and early regular DCM water quality monitoring were conducted three days per week, at mid-flood and mid-ebb tides, at the 22 water quality monitoring stations during the reporting period. The sea conditions varied from calm to moderate, and the weather conditions varied from sunny to rainy during the monitoring period.
Calibration certificates of the monitoring equipment used in the monitoring period provided in Appendix D of the Construction Phase Monthly EM&A Report No.17 are still valid. Any updates of calibration certificates will be reported in the Monthly EM&A report if necessary.
The water quality monitoring results for turbidity, total alkalinity, and chromium obtained during the reporting period did not trigger their corresponding Action and Limit Levels stipulated in the EM&A programme for triggering the relevant investigation and follow-up procedures under the programme if being exceeded. For DO, SS, and nickel, some of the testing results exceeded the relevant Action or Limit Levels, and the corresponding investigations were conducted accordingly. Details of the exceedances are presented in Section 4.5.2.
During the monitoring period, testing results exceeding the corresponding Action or Limit Levels were recorded on five monitoring days. Details of the exceedance cases are presented below.
Table 4.7 and Table 4.8 presents a summary of the DO compliance status at IM and SR stations during mid-ebb tide for the reporting month.
Exceedances of Action or Limit Levels were recorded on one monitoring day. Repeat in-situ measurements were conducted on 7 July 2017 as stipulated in the Manual. No exceedance was recorded during the repeat measurement. As some of the exceedances occurred at stations located downstream of the Project, which might be affected by Project's construction activities, exceedance investigation was carried out.
As part of the investigation on downstream exceedance events, details of the Project's marine construction activities on the concerned monitoring day was collected, as well as any observations during the monitoring. The findings are summarized in Table 4.9.
For the exceedance events at downstream monitoring stations, namely IM1, IM2, and SR4A, it is noted that exceedances also occurred at upstream stations on the same day, and no exceedance was recorded at other downstream IM stations, including IM3, which was located closer to active construction activities. Besides, lower DO concentrations were recorded during baseline monitoring at these monitoring stations. Based on these findings, the exceedances were possibly due to natural fluctuation in the vicinity of these monitoring stations, and considered not due to the Project.
Table 4.10 and Table 4.11 presents a summary of the DO compliance status at IM and SR stations during mid-flood tide for the reporting month.
Exceedances of Action Levels were recorded on one monitoring day. Repeat in-situ measurements were conducted on 7 July 2017 as stipulated in the Manual. No exceedance was recorded during the repeat measurement. As there was exceedance occurred at a station located upstream of the Project, which would unlikely be affected by Project's construction activities, exceedance investigation focused on downstream exceedance events was carried out.
As part of the investigation on downstream exceedance events, details of the Project's marine construction activities on concerned monitoring day were collected, as well as any observations during the monitoring. The findings are summarized in Table 4.9.
For the exceedance events at downstream monitoring stations, namely IM8, IM9, and SR3, it is noted that the DO concentration at surface and middle level at C1, the corresponding control station for IM8 and SR3, was also below Action Level during the same tide. Besides, no exceedance was recorded at other downstream monitoring stations, including IM7 and IM10, which were similarly close to active construction activities. Based on these findings, the exceedances were possibly due to natural fluctuation in the vicinity of these monitoring stations, and considered not due to the Project.
Table 4.12 presents a summary of the SS compliance status at IM and SR stations during mid-ebb tide for the reporting month.

Anime Pioneer Eiichi Yamamoto Dies at Age 80
Animated Gems Head to Berlin for Reformatted Live Festival
Bonham's Inaugural Anime Sale Offers Rare Originals from Beloved Classics
Toonami Ramps Up for 2022 with New Show Every Week
Eiichi Yamamoto (inset), director of Belladonna of Sadness
Mercedes Milligan
Japanese writer and director Eiichi Yamamoto, who brought seminal works as broadly diverse as Kimba the White Lion and Belladonna of Sadness to the screen, died September 7 due to heart failure. The news was shared during a Tokyo screening of the latter film — a psychedelic, multimedia collage of an adult animated movie released in 1973, rediscovered by modern cinephiles thanks to a 4K restoration in 2016. A family funeral for the 80-year-old anime pioneer was held September 12.
The screening's organizers, Anime Novecento, were contacted by a member of Yamamoto's family after they saw the event shared on Facebook. His relative shared that although the director's health had been in decline in recent years, "he loved animation until the day he died, and he was still enthusiastic about making works, and he lived to the best of his ability."
Kimba the White Lion
Born November 22, 1940 in Kyoto, Yamamoto pursued a challenging and envelope-pushing career through the last four decades of the 20th century. As a small child, World War II forced his move to Kagawa Prefecture. With dreams of becoming an animator, Yamamoto joined Ryuichi Yokoyama's Otogi Productions after graduating high school, but soon learned that Osamu Tezuka was setting up a new studio. The two met and young Yamamoto became one of the founding members of Mushi Production in 1961 and co-directed the studio's first project: Tezuka's experimental short Tales of the Street Corner.
While at Mushi, Yamamoto directed for the original black-and-white Astro Boy series, the Kimba the White Lion series and feature film, and the adult feature film series "Animerama," comprising A Thousand and One Nights (1969), Cleopatra (1970) and Belladonna of Sadness, which was nominated for the Golden Bear for best feature film at the Berlin International Film Festival. His last project before the studio declared bankruptcy in 1973 was for the series Little Wansa, based on the Sanwa Bank mascot created by Tezuka.
After the original Mushi studio shuttered, Yamamoto joined Yoshinobu Nishizaki's West Cape Corporation as writer and supervising director for the Space Battleship Yamato series (Group TAC, 1974-75) and wrote the screenplay for the 1977 movie, the 1980 follow-up series and 1983 feature Final Yamato. In the '80s, he directed Oshin for Sanrio Film and co-wrote/co-directed Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight at West Cape. In the '90s, he penned the adult historical drama The Sensualist, based on the 17th century novel, and the series Giant Robo the Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Despite his declining health, Yamamoto most recently co-wrote and co-directed the 2019 half-hour short One Arm (Kataude) with another friend and collaborator of Tezuka's, Gisaburô Sugii (Night on the Galactic Railroad, Stormy Night). The minimalist animation adapts an eerie, erotic short story by Yasunari Kawabata about a woman who lends her arm to an admire for one night of pleasure. Starring prolific voice actor Shin'ichirô Miki (Perfect Blue, Escaflowne, Demon Slayer, Haikyuu!!, Pokémon franchise) and Tokyo Anime Award-winner Romi Park (Attack on Titan, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, Persona 4, Digimon Adventure), the film screened at Annecy and Rotterdam.
One Arm (Kataude)
Besides his films, Yamamoto's greatest legacy is arguably his (only slightly fictionalized) account of the 1960s anime industry in his memoir/exposé The Rise and Fall of Mushi Pro: The Youth of Ani Meita, published in 1989. Centered on the avatar hero "Ani Meita" (a phonetic slant on "animator"), the book revealed insider anecdotes, scandals and criticism of the studio's business model and was the first work to explain the physically, mentally and emotionally taxing work culture around "Anime Syndrome."

The SPLC's $14 million verdict against the company this year led to a settlement of 11 remaining suits.
A marine services company that reached a $20 million settlement agreement earlier this year to resolve labor trafficking lawsuits brought on behalf of hundreds of former Indian guest workers has issued an unprecedented apology as part of the agreement.
Signal International acknowledged it was "wrong in failing to ensure that the guest workers were treated with the respect and dignity they deserved" as they worked for the company repairing damaged oil rigs and related Gulf Coast facilities in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The apology to the workers recruited through the federal H-2B guest worker program was signed by Richard L. Marler, Signal chief executive and president.
"We appreciate that the executives at Signal who led the company when it engaged in the actions at the heart of this case have publicly apologized for those actions, and we hope that this will help deter other companies from exploiting guest workers, or any workers," said attorney Alan Howard, SPLC board chair and a partner in Crowell & Moring's New York office.
Howard led a legal team that won a $14 million judgment for five Indian guest workers represented by the SPLC in a New Orleans federal trial in February. The lawsuit, filed in 2008, was the first of 12 lawsuits against Signal spearheaded by the SPLC. The cases brought on behalf of workers who worked for Signal in Mississippi and Texas comprised one of the largest labor trafficking cases in U.S. history.
After the New Orleans verdict – and facing 11 other similar lawsuits – the company publicly stated its intention to file for bankruptcy. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing included a $20 million settlement for all 12 lawsuits, and the settlement has been approved by the bankruptcy court.
Signal also apologized for overcrowded workers' quarters and a pre-dawn raid on the quarters in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The March 2007 raid was an attempt to deport guest workers in retaliation for complaining to workers' rights advocates about the abuses they faced. One worker was so distraught he attempted suicide.
The guest workers each paid the labor recruiters and a lawyer between $10,000 and $20,000 or more in recruitment fees and other costs after recruiters promised good jobs, green cards and permanent U.S. residency for them and their families. Most sold property or plunged their families deeply into debt to pay the fees.
When the men arrived at Signal shipyards in Pascagoula and Orange, Texas beginning in 2006, they discovered that they wouldn't receive the green cards or permanent residency that had been promised. The company also forced them each to pay $1,050 a month to live in isolated, guarded labor camps where as many as 24 men shared a space the size of a double-wide trailer. None of the company's non-Indian workers were required to live in the company housing.
Under the guest worker program, workers are not allowed to change jobs if they are abused but face the loss of their investment if they are fired or quit.
The SPLC has documented the widespread abuses within the nation's broken H-2B guest worker program and the need for reform in its report Close to Slavery.
In addition to the firms mentioned above, attorneys with Fredrikson & Byron PA; Latham & Watkins LLP; McDermott Will & Emery LLP; Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, LLP; Equal Justice Center (Texas); American Civil Liberties Union; Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP; DLA Piper LLP; Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP; Kaye Scholer LLP; Covington & Burling LLP; and Gordon, Arata, McCollam, Duplantis & Eagan LLC also represented groups of former guest workers awaiting trial.
CohnReznick LLP drove the financial analysis that helped push the case towards a settlement. All of the firms worked on these cases on a pro bono basis.

Dr. Rouba Fattal
Femmes remarquables Ottawa Distinguished Women > Community Pillars > Dr. Rouba Fattal
Community Pillar
Dr. Rouba Fattal is a woman of intelligence and an outstanding volunteer. She holds a PhD in political science, is a full-time public servant, and a part-time professor at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. In her community of Kanata-Carleton, she volunteers as the Director of Outreach for the Trailwest Community Association; as a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator for the Ottawa Police Services; for the Kanata Food Cupboard 'Unload the Buses' event; for Canada Day in Kanata; and for the Ottawa Public Library in Beaverbrook-Kanata where she organizes free workshops for seniors on internet and social media literacy, helping them to overcome loneliness and to connect them with their loved ones.
Dr. Fattal works closely with Canadians of all backgrounds, addressing social challenges. Her recent efforts have been focused on poverty alleviation and homelessness. She is a Board Director at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Center (WOCRC) that runs Chrysalis House (a women's shelter in the West of Ottawa) and is Chair of the Board Development Committee at the WOCRC, advocating for affordable housing within the community. She is also a Board Director at the Kanata Food Cupboard and is Chair of its Governance Committee.
Her many volunteer initiatives promote inclusivity, diversity and empowerment of women as well as youth and children with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She learned the importance of giving back to one's community soon after immigrating to Canada from Syria as a teenager when a friend asked her to volunteer at the Salvation Army. It was her first volunteer experience and she discovered that altruism not only felt good but that magic happens when people come together to serve others. It was a defining experience for her that transformed into purpose. She has volunteered as a Board Director for the Rotary Club of Ottawa, where she organized a mega fundraising reception; and, a multicultural music night with the Christ-Church Cathedral raising over $74,000 that went into sponsoring two refugee families in Kanata.
Rouba Fattal is also a community innovator and a proponent of a new model of grassroots activism that promotes self-empowerment through commercial enterprises. She founded the Kanata-Carleton Small Business Network (KCSBN) in 2015 and has been its Chair to date. KCSBN is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting local small businesses by connecting them to each other, to the community and to valuable resources. Some of KCSBN's services include an annual Fair, monthly workshops with expert speakers, a youth entrepreneur program, a mentorship program, social media platforms, free local business listings, and a community discount program.
Under Dr. Fattal's leadership, the Kanata-Carleton Small Business Network has experienced incredible growth. The rapid expansion of its membership is primarily due to Rouba Fattal's ability to leverage strong community partnerships and to fostering new initiatives for KCSBN (including a Newsletter and a local business Blog) that help stimulate start-ups, promote entrepreneurship, and provide local entrepreneurs of all ages and backgrounds with essential tools and inspiration to create sustainable jobs in the community.
Rouba Fattal's community work is central to who she is. In recognition of her community-building endeavours, she has received the prestigious RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Award (2019) and the Welcome Ottawa Ambassador Award (2019).

VADER: First 'Welcome To The Morbid Reich' Trailer Released
The first trailer for "Welcome To The Morbid Reich", the new album from Polish death metal veterans VADER, can be seen below. Due on August 12 in Europe and September 13 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records, the CD was recorded at Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland and features the cover artwork of Zbigniew Bielak (DESTRYER 666, WATAIN). The band laid down a total of 12 songs for the CD, which was mixed and mastered in May.
"Welcome To The Morbid Reich" track listing:
01. Ultima Thule
02. Return To The Morbid Reich
03. The Black Eye
04. Come And See My Sacrifice
05. Only Hell Knows
06. I Am Who Feasts Upon Your Soul
07. Don't Rip The Beast's Heart Out
08. I Had A Dream...
09. Lord Of Thorns
10. Decapitated Saints
11. They Are Coming...
12. Black Velvet And Skulls Of Steel
Commented Bielak: "To follow closely on Lars von Trier's spectacular Nazi gaffe in Cannes, I'd say that the new VADER cover artwork gives a subtle hint of what would happen if the good old Cthulhu would be contracted to erect a pyramid for Thule... Well, who knows what they were really doing in subterranean galleries of Harz? One thing is certain propelled by the spirit of most Ancient Ones, VADER indeed stand tall as death metal's Wunderwaffe, and I hope the cover fits well in their armory of morbid imagination!"
As previously reported, due to "family matters," drummer Pawel "Paul" Jaroszewicz has decided to leave VADER. Despite this, he committed to laying down tracks for the band's new album, "Welcome To The Morbid Reich", and taking part in the group's already confirmed concerts in May, June and July. Jaroszewicz's replacement in VADER is the "very talented" 21-year-old English musician James Stewart, who has previously played with DIVINE CHAOS.
VADER recently parted ways with bassist Tomasz "Reyash" Rejek and replaced him with Hal (HERMH, DEAD INFECTION, ABUSED MAJESTY).

Big Announcement From A Booming Bakken Pure-Play
Our front row seat to America's oil boom has its perks…
Today I'd like to share one of them with you!
In short, one of the oil companies on our radar just made a big announcement. The way I see it, this could be another solid buy signal (so far the market agrees…)
It's not often a company's share price rises after an acquisition.
But when it does….watch out!
Last week Oasis Petroleum (OAS) spent over a third of its market value on a strategic set of acquisitions — a huge move and what some less-in-the-know analysts would call a risky bet. Usually we'd see a swift sell-off and prices would struggle for months with a big acquisition, but with this deal that simply wasn't the case.
After a (very) brief intra-day drop, share prices surged. And today, just three trading days since the company's announcement, share prices look steady — up over 11% since the acquisition announcement.
You may remember Oasis from our first discussion back in June 2012, when we called the company a "better Bakken play".
Back then, North Dakota's Bakken formation was booming. Today, the Bakken continues to boom.
As a quick aside, have you seen the production numbers coming out of North Dakota lately? They're stunning.
Although we're more certain by the day that America's oil and gas boom is NOT a flash in the pan, the only way to know for sure is to check the production numbers. Here's the latest from the Roughrider State:
Over the past five years oil production in North Dakota has blossomed. According to the latest production numbers, the state is producing over 821,000 barrels per day (bpd) — compare that to just 80,000 bpd a decade ago.
To put this in global perspective, North Dakota's current production is nearly the same as the total amount of oil America imports from Mexico. So yeah, it's like we found a Mexico in North Dakota. Mucho Bueno!
Truly, this boom is far from over. Just this year (in April) the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) doubled its estimate for recoverable crude oil from the Bakken and Three Forks formation. Instead of 3.65 billion barrels of recoverable oil, now the USGS says 7.38 billion barrels could flow from the formation.
Virtually overnight the USGS "found" an extra 3.7 billion barrels of oil in North Dakota — at current production levels it's like finding an extra 12 years of production! That's a huge upgrade, but over the years I bet we'll just see it as a sign of the times — more oil is on the way in America's shale patch!
Indeed, with increased drilling, technology and efficiencies I bet we'll see more revisions to that USGS estimate…stay tuned.
Now, back to an example of a company that's making it all happen…
An Oasis For Your Portfolio In North Dakota!
As we covered in our first write-up on Oasis Petroleum, the company is a "pure-play" on the Bakken/Three Forks. Back then the company seemed highly undervalued. Heck, we even speculated that Oasis would be a perfect buyout candidate for international oil companies.
Flash forward to today and Oasis is doing the buying! In a recent deal they increased their acreage, reserves and production potential with a $1.5 billion acquisition.
As an investor, this deal is exactly what I'd want to see.
Remember, not all shale plays are considered equal. But once the code is cracked on a particular formation, efficient companies can start making a lot of money. That's exactly the case with Oasis.
For an example of what Oasis is doing, all we need to do is look at their "average" Bakken well.
Average well cost is $7.8 million. Average estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is 600,000 barrels of oil. With a little post-it note math you'll see that for every $7.8M in drilling the company is cashing out $54 in oil (over the life of the well.)
That's a huge payout.
…And yeah, you guessed it, with numbers like that, it's no wonder Oasis was interested in acquiring more acreage.
But get this, the added acreage isn't where the profit potential ends. The company is also still in the process of optimizing its drill plans. Although well costs have been heading lower for Oasis, there are still more efficiencies left to be had.
First up is well spacing. With more wells per pad and more pads per "drilling unit" the company could still make more out of its acreage. Also, according to the company, pad development operations are set to increase from 60-70% in 2013 to approx. 90% in 2014. Think: more wells, more production, less cost.
More added potential for Oasis comes from delineating the Three Forks/Sanish formation. Much like we've recently covered with the Permian Basin, the Bakken is a layered or "stacked" play. So not only can production occur in the Bakken formation you could also drill lower to hit the Three Forks/Sanish formation on the same drill pad.
As Oasis, and the rest of the industry, crack the code on these stacked plays there could be even more oil to come. That's great news for a company that just increased its total acreage.
And don't forget, as you and I know, the North Dakota oil is only as good as the logistic plan to get it to market. This is another area that Oasis has a strategic advantage, take a look at the map below:
There are a few things to note in the chart. First up, the company's existing, pre-acquisition acreage (noted in brown) is located strategically near both rail and pipe gathering lines. But, as you can see, the acquired acreage (noted in light blue) is a perfect add-on to their existing package.
Both existing and acquired acreage has the potential to hit a lot of oil pay-dirt and Oasis is surrounded by the right infrastructure to get it to market.
Now we're starting why the market loved this deal!
Add it all up and this Bakken pure-play is looking very strong. If you think like I do, that the Bakken is going to keep getting bigger and better (for the foreseeable future), Oasis is a great horse to ride, here.
Looking For a Good Buy Price?
Oasis's price action is also painting a positive picture — up some 35% year to date. But is now a decent time to jump into this company? Here's how our in-house analyst Greg Guenthner puts it:
Back in early June, crude was $94. And many of independent oil companies, like Oasis Petroleum, were just starting to show signs that they wanted to break out.
Fast forward to this week. Yesterday, crude was knocking on $110's door. And Oasis is powering higher…
It wasn't the smoothest ride. OAS faked a big move higher back in late July, only to retreat back below $42 less than a week later. However, after finding support near $39, it was off to the races. Yesterday's clean break takes this name to new 52-week highs.
If you aren't in this name yet, you could look to buy on any consolidation between $42-$44…
From every angle this company looks strong — growing production, lowered costs, a new beneficial acquisition and a solid chart set-up.
Since our initial discussion (June 2012) the company is up nearly 70%. With more optimization, efficiencies and increased production the company could jump even higher. If you're looking to add some exposure to North Dakota's oil bounty, make sure you keep an eye on Oasis.
Keep your boots muddy,
for The Daily Reckoning
P.S. The booming Bakken is just part of the bigger story for America. In fact, it's all part of a "100-year wealth event" that no one saw coming! Better still, the same trend that led to Texas-sized oil riches, minting millionaires from Houston to Dallas, is about to unleash a second round of profit opportunity right here in our own back yard.

Breakout Alert: $1,500 Gold By September?
By St. Paul ResearchPosted July 19, 2017
Just over the last week, the futures price for an ounce of gold rose from a low of $1,204 to a high near $1,244 during yesterday's trading session. A 3% gain may not seem like much. But keep in mind this move happened in just over a week's time. And today, Editor Zach Scheidt shows you why this recent pickup in gold is actually just the start of a much larger -- and more explosive -- advance.
The Unexpected Winner Of The U.S. War In Iraq: Turkey
By Chris MayerPosted March 22, 2013
The winner of the U.S. war in Iraq looks like it will be Turkey. Ironic, because Turkey opposed the war. Nonetheless, a story in the Financial Times resonated with me — as I just returned from the country: "A new candidate has emerged as the true victor of the Iraq war. A decade after Turkey...

Federal judge extends delays -- ordering nearly all federal court cases postponed until May

NORFOLK — The chief federal judge overseeing the Eastern District of Virginia has put on hold nearly every federal court case in the district until early May because of coronavirus concerns.
In the order issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Mark S. Davis said that criminal and civil proceedings scheduled between now through May 1 must be delayed.
"After careful consideration of the risks to the public, litigants, counsel, judges, and court employees, and after consultation with appropriate stakeholders, this court has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to ... extend the time period for the suspension of all non-critical and non-emergency in-person proceedings in our Courthouses," he wrote.
That extends by a month Davis' prior order delaying hundreds of court cases throughout the federal district.
"It is notable that the three areas of greatest concentration of COVID-19 cases in Virginia all fall within commuting distance to a federal Courthouse in the District," Davis wrote in the 9-page ruling, adding that 90 percent of Virginia's confirmed coronavirus cases are in the Eastern District.
The district's federal courthouses are in Norfolk, Newport News, Richmond and Alexandria.
Davis previously ruled that jury trials scheduled on or before April 17 were to be put on hold, as were all misdemeanor and federal traffic cases slated to be heard until April 30. Those delays also are extended until May 1.
But "emergency and critical" hearings can still go forward under Davis' order this week.
Those have been defined as initial appearances following a defendant's arrest, probable cause hearings, arraignments, bond hearings and the issuance of warrants, among others. Davis added that some of the emergency matters can be conducted remotely, through such things as video conferencing, during the outbreak.
Judges can also deem other cases to be critical or emergency hearings, if they find that "a manifest injustice would result if such proceeding were not conducted on an expedited basis," Davis wrote.
In a separate but related order this week, Davis wrote that protecting the "ends of justice" — including the right to a fair trial — supersedes the defendant's speedy trial rights.
Under the 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, criminal defendants are entitled to a "speedy and public trial by jury," which generally requires that prosecutors must bring cases to trial within certain time frames.
Davis wrote in a prior order earlier this month that there are significant problems with holding a jury trial during a coronavirus outbreak, such as jurors sitting close together in confined spaces during deliberations.
But there are other problems with holding trials under current conditions, he wrote.
Davis wrote in the expanded order on Monday that the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Federal Public Defender's Office have raised legitimate concerns "about the practical ability of the Court to effectively seat a jury during the current state of emergency."
"Notably, even if a sufficient number of prospective jurors complied with their summons and appeared at the relevant courthouse, the Court has grave concerns as to whether jurors could provide their full and complete attention during a multi-day or multi-week federal trial in light of the health risks," Davis wrote.
Parents serving on the jury, he added, may also struggle with the fact that their children are home from school.
"Seating a distracted jury and/or a jury impatient to end the trial in order to promote their own physical well-being and to care for loved ones would result in a miscarriage of justice and undermine the fairness and integrity of our criminal justice system."
As such, Davis ruled, the "ends of justice" supersede the "interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy ... trial."
Davis' order said that the four federal courthouses in the district, including the four clerk's offices, will remain open for business, with restrictions in place barring entry to those who have been instructed to self-quarantine, have traveled to certain countries or other reasons.

Tween years are the last time your little humans are considered kids. Maybe the last time they'll crawl up in your lap for a snuggle. Maybe the last time they'll listen (at least for a while) to your advice. Tween years are also the last time it's possible to organically boost their self-confidence before they're off to high school. Let's showcase what's special about your tween today and see the confidence bloom tomorrow.


What happens if you've been told you're not a diabetic, but your fasting blood sugar and HgbA1c levels are high? And they seem to be trending higher, so diabetes could very well be in your future. What can you do?
Your doctor is going to recommend you make some dietary changes and improve your exercise regimen. While diet and exercise are a great place to start, there are some natural preventatives to further decrease your risk of this overwhelming disease. Here are a few options.
You can start with a few diet and exercise tips. These simple changes can go a long way toward helping your numbers trend in the right direction.
First, don't eat bread after noon. This will cut your carb intake more than you think. It's not a magic solution, but it's an easy guideline to follow. Or cut out bread and pasta all together.
Second, keep dinner simple. This will help you follow suggestion number three: stop eating at 7 p.m. Don't make an elaborate meal and then sit down to eat it at 9 p.m. And don't raid the fridge or freezer for evening snacks.
Instead, use the time you've freed up for step four: take a 20-minute walk after dinner. These simple changes can help you clean up your diet while increasing your exercise and lowering your HgbA1c.
Once you've gotten your diet and exercise habits to a healthier place, you can begin making other additions. These botanical options aren't a substitute for lifestyle changes.
Now, if you've been a reader for long, you may roll your eyes at my first suggestion: drink green tea.
Yes, I talk about green tea a lot. But that's because it works! Research has linked green tea to improvements in everything from blood pressure and cholesterol levels to inflammation and oxidative stress. Other studies have connected it to lower rates of obesity, a contributing factor to type-2 diabetes. In fact, one comprehensive paper associates green tea with improved fat oxidation both at rest and exercise – that means green tea has the potential to help control and improve your fat digestion even when you are still.
In fact, obesity is such a significant factor that researchers have been studying whether weight loss alone could lead to remission of type-2 diabetes. In one such study, the researchers found that after a year, 46% of the participants in a weight-loss group were able to get their blood sugar under control – and keep it there. In fact, one study in Taiwan linked regularly drinking green tea over the course of 10 years to lower body fat and smaller waistlines. And a study in Japan found that participants who drank six cups or more daily slashed their risk of developing diabetes by a third compared to those who drank less than a cup a week.
Green tea contains a powerful catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is responsible for many of the anti-obesity effects of tea. And if you switch from sugary beverages to green tea, that helps too.
Of course, excess blood sugar is also a major contributor to diabetes. Research has found that EGCG can also reduce blood glucose levels and stop tissues from absorbing glucose. In fact, EGCG may even mimic the effects of insulin. This helps prevent the liver from overproducing glucose. And it helps keep insulin at healthier levels in the body.
EGCG's effects can help prevent blood sugar spikes if you drink green tea with meals. Particularly if you're already diabetic, this is a good strategy to help you stay even throughout the day.
I've been championing the benefits of green tea for years. So I hope you're already drinking it regularly. Others may have tried it but just don't enjoy it. If you're in either camp, there are some other strategies you can try to further lower your diabetes risk.
Again, diet and exercise are key components of weight loss.
A team of researchers conducted an extensive study to identify natural compounds that act similarly to metformin. They found ginsenoside, a compound from ginseng, to be an excellent match on both a genetic and a pathway level. Withaferin A, a compound of ashwagandha, was also a great match. I'll talk more about that one later.
Traditional Chinese medicine has used ginsenosides from ginseng for centuries. This natural compound has anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-hypertensive benefits, to name a few. And several studies are adding anti-diabetic to the list.
The two most commonly used forms of ginseng are American and Asian. Both have numerous health benefits. But American ginseng is typically the focus of diabetes studies because of its effects on pancreatic cells.
It seems that both forms of ginseng can help regulate blood sugar levels. And they help both diabetics and non-diabetics. One review study that analyzed eight studies of the effects of ginseng on patients with type-2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance found that ginseng could improve fasting glucose for both groups.
That's definitely a good start. But an underlying problem in diabetes is the death of pancreatic beta cells. The loss of these cells in diabetic patients leads to complications. American ginseng may be able to help. American ginseng is an excellent choice if you are a woman 50 or over and your blood sugar is high.
If you're on the path to diabetes – or you've already developed it – your pancreas is suffering. Studies have found that American ginseng root extracts can help. They change cell metabolism to help pancreatic beta cells. They increase insulin and energy production, taking some of the burden off of the pancreas. And they reduce cell death in pancreatic cells. This creates a beneficial cycle as the surviving cells are also able to chip in and improve overall function and insulin production.
American Ginseng has the added benefit of decreasing oxidative stress as well. Sugar is a major contributor to oxidative damage. If your blood sugar has been elevated for a while, you do need to get it under control. But you also need to clean up the damage it has caused.
Research shows that ginseng leaf and berry extracts provide antioxidants that can mop up free radicals in fat and muscle tissue in addition to the pancreas. And they will decrease the source of this oxidative stress as they reduce blood sugar.
Speaking of stress, if you've sought out natural solutions to anxiety or feelings of overwhelm before, you may be familiar with my final suggestion for decreasing diabetes risk. Withania somnifera, also known as ashwagandha, is a powerful medicinal herb. I often recommend it to my patients who are struggling with anxiety or keeping their stress hormones in balance. And there's evidence to suggest it can help keep you from worrying about developing diabetes as well.
One study in rats found that ashwagandha could improve insulin sensitivity in rats. The rats who received an ashwagandha extract experienced improvements in blood glucose, HbA1c levels, and insulin compared to the control group. The researchers concluded that the WS helped normalize blood sugar levels through its effects on insulin sensitivity. Another rat study found improvements in various lipid levels as well.
In humans, ashwagandha can help decrease diabetes risk by reducing obesity rates, which we discussed above. This herb helps regulate leptin, a hormone that affects hunger and satiety. Leptin imbalances can trigger people to overeat, contributing to weight gain and diabetes risk.
When leptin was first discovered over 20 years ago, researchers were very excited about the possibility of harnessing it to combat obesity. But it's taken quite some time to figure out how to do that. Researchers in the Division of Endocrinology of Boston Children's Hospital finally began to find some answers when they studied ashwagandha.
The researchers found that ashwagandha helped obese mice reduce their food intake and lose weight. It helped sensitize them to leptin so that they ate more appropriate amounts. This strategy even worked for mice genetically designed to be predisposed to diabetes.
We know plenty about ashwagandha's positive effects in humans. So I definitely think it's a good place to start if you're trying to avoid diabetes. It can also help you reduce the stress that could be driving you to some of your unhealthy behaviors.
If you're at risk for diabetes, I hope you'll take action right away to avoid it. If your doctor recommends Metformin, please know that a large-scale study found that it can have a lot of benefits even for diabetics and pre-diabetics. Diabetic patients who received metformin actually had small but statistically significant improvement in life expectancy compared to a control group of non-diabetes.
And metformin does have anti-cancer and anti-cardiovascular effects. So it can be helpful for diabetics, particularly those who are willing to make lifestyle changes to try to beat diabetes. Without such changes, diabetes will progress to the point that metformin is no longer a sufficient treatment.
If you make progress with Metformin and it's simply not enough, you may want to add berberine and start drinking four to five cups of green tea daily or one tea of high quality matcha (Aiya can be found on Amazon).
Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid extract and a traditional Chinese herb extract, has been shown to be safe and effective in lowering blood sugar, alleviating insulin resistance, and moderating type-2 diabetes mellitus and many of its complications. The bioavailability of berberine is low, suggesting that it may play a role in lowering blood sugar and lipid by regulating intestinal flora. Intestinal microbiota may serve as a new potential target for berberine treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus.
The solutions I've told you about have a number of benefits beyond reducing your risk of diabetes. And they don't carry risks that many of the drugs do. Choose one to start, berberine would be my suggestion, as you make some of the diet and exercise changes.
Diabetes is becoming much more common but no less deadly. I'd certainly like you to contribute to the growing number of seniors alive in the coming decades. But I'd prefer for you to avoid the diseases that often plague that cohort. Berberine, Green tea, Ginseng, and Ashwagandha can help you do that.


The Citizens' Constitutional Forum Education team conducted their Democracy – Understanding and Action (DUA) follow up workshop in Baulevu just off Koroqaqa, Nausori.
Participants shared their experience of how the workshop has assisted them.
What were some of the things you have learned from attending the first workshop?
I learned a lot of things like good governance and how to practice our basic human rights, women rights, children rights and also multicultural rights which we all should abide by the law and regulations.
The Constitutional booklet that was issued to us on the first workshop has not only helped me understand some thing's about the constitution but my son too, who is a form 4 student. He now takes it to school and shares it with his friends. I have one recommendation if we could also have a Hindi version of the booklet.
