"This we will keep secret," they said, "from all the tribes. When we make a fire to cook our fish we will go into a Bingahwingul scrub. There will we make a fire and cook our food in secret. We will hide our fire sticks in the open-mouthed seeds of the Bingahwinguls; one fire stick we will carry always hidden in our comebee."
Bootoolgah and Goonur cooked the next fish they caught, and found it very good. When they went back to the camp they took some of their cooked fish with them. The blacks noticed it looked quite different from the usual sundried fish, so they asked: "What did you to that fish?"
But that the fish was sundried Bootoolgah and Goonur persisted. Day by day passed, and after catching their fish, these two always disappeared, returning with their food looking quite different from that of the others. At last, being unable to extract any information from them, it was determined by the tribe to watch them. Boolooral, the night owl, and Quarrian, the parrot, were appointed to follow the two when they disappeared, to watch where they went, and find out what they did. Accordingly, after the next fish were caught, when Bootoolgah and Goonur gathered up their share and started for the bush, Boolooral and Quarrian followed on their tracks. They saw them disappear into a Bingahwingul scrub, where they lost sight of them. Seeing a high tree on the edge of the scrub, they climbed up it, and from there they saw all that was to be seen. They saw Bootoolgah and Goonur throw down their load of fish, open their comebee and take from it a stick, which stick, when they had blown upon it, they laid in the midst of a heap of leaves and twigs, and at once from this heap they saw a flame leap, which flame the fire makers fed with bigger sticks. Then, as the flame died down, they saw the two place- their fish in the ashes that remained from the burnt sticks. Then back to the camp of their tribes went Boolooral and Quarrian, back with the news of their discovery. Great was the talk amongst the blacks, and many the queries as to how to get possession of the comebee with the fire stick in it, when next Bootoolgah and Goonur came into the camp. It was at length decided to hold a corrobboree, and it was to be one on a scale not often seen, probably never before by the young of the tribes. The grey beards proposed to so astonish Bootoolgah and Goonur as to make them forget to guard their precious comebee. As soon as they were intent on the corrobboree and off guard, some one was to seize the comebee, steal the firestick and start fires for the good of all. Most of them had tasted the cooked fish brought into the camp by the fire makers and, having found it good, hungered for it. Beeargah, the hawk, was told to feign sickness, to tie up his head, and to lie down near wherever the two sat to watch the corrobboree. Lying near them, he was to watch them all the time, and when they were laughing and unthinking of anything but the spectacle before them, he was to steal the comebee. Having arranged their plan of action, they all prepared for a big corrobboree. They sent word to all the surrounding tribes, asking them to attend, especially they begged the Bralgahs to come, as they were celebrated for their wonderful dancing, which was so wonderful as to be most likely to absorb the attention of the fire makers.
All the tribes agreed to come, and soon all were engaged in great preparations. Each determined to outdo the other in the quaintness and brightness of their painting for the corrobboree. Each tribe as they arrived gained great applause; never before had the young people seen so much diversity in colouring and design. Beeleer, the black cockatoo tribe, came with bright splashes of orange-red on their black skins. The Pelicans came as a contrast, almost pure white, only a touch here and there of their black skin showing where the white paint had rubbed off. The Black Divers came in their black skins, but these polished to shine like satin. Then came the Millears, the beauties of the Kangaroo Rat family, who had their home on the Morillas. After them came the Buckandeer or Native Cat tribe, painted in dull colours, but in all sorts of patterns. Mairas or Paddymelons came too in haste to take part in the great corrobboree. After them, walking slowly, came the Bralgahs, looking tall and dignified as they held up their red heads, painted so in contrast to their French-grey bodies, which they deemed too dull a colour, unbrightened, for such a gay occasion. Amongst the many tribes there, too numerous to mention, were the rose and grey painted Galahs, the green and crimson painted Billai: most brilliant were they with their bodies grass green and their sides bright crimson, so afterwards gaining them the name of crimson wings. The bright little Gidgereegahs came too.
Great was the gathering that Bootoolgah, the crane, and Goonur, the kangaroo rat, found assembled as they hurried on to the scene. Bootoolgah had warned Goonur that they must only be spectators, and take no active part in the corrobboree, as they had to guard their comebee. Obedient to his advice, Goonur seated herself beside him and slung the comebee over her arm. Bootoolgah warned her to be careful and not forget she had it. But as the corrobboree went on, so absorbed did she become that she forgot the comebee, which slipped from her arm. Happily, Bootoolgah saw it do so, replaced it, and bade her take heed, so baulking Beeargah, who had been about to seize it, for his vigilance was unceasing, and, deeming him sick almost unto death, the two whom he was watching took no heed of him. Back he crouched, moaning as he turned, but keeping ever an eye on Goonur. And soon was he rewarded. Now came the turn of the Bralgahs to dance, and every eye but that of the watchful one was fixed on them as slowly they came into the ring. First they advanced, bowed and retired, then they repeated what they had done before, and again, each time getting faster and faster in their movements, changing their bows into pirouettes, craning their long necks and making such antics as they went through the figures of their dance, and replacing their dignity with such grotesqueness, as to make their large audience shake with laughter, they themselves keeping throughout all their grotesque measures a solemn air, which only seemed to heighten the effect of their antics.
And now came the chance of Beeargah the hawk. In the excitement of the moment Goonur forgot the comebee, as did Bootoolgah. They joined in the mirthful applause of the crowd, and Goonur threw herself back helpless with laughter. As she did so the comebee slipped from her arm. Then up jumped the sick man from behind her, seized the comebee with his combo, cut it open, snatched forth the firestick, set fire to the heap of grass ready near where he had lain, and all before the two realised their loss. When they discovered the precious comebee was gone, up jumped Bootoolgar and Goonur. After Beeargah ran Bootoolgah, but Beeargah had a start and was fleeter of foot, so distanced his pursuer quickly. As he ran he fired the grass with the stick he still held. Bootoolgar, finding he could not catch Beeargah, and seeing fires everywhere, retired from the pursuit, feeling it was useless now to try and guard their secret, for it had now become the common property of all the tribes there assembled.


With President Trump and Congress still at an impasse over funding border wall construction, and as essential employees work through a federal shutdown, the American Federation of Government Employees and the D.C.-based Kalijarvi, Chuzi, Newman & Fitch law firm is pursuing legal action in the names of individual plaintiffs and the working employees.
Union's president J. David Cox blasted the "inhumane" decisions that some 420,000 were instructed to show up for work—for the time being, without pay. A further 380,000 non-essential federal employees are furloughed. Many affected workers are police officers and military veterans.
A policy director for AFGE told Hill.TV "the federal government is not above the law" and cannot force people to engage in unpaid work. But Congress needs to approve back pay in the spending bill that opens the government again. In December, the Senate passed legislation for workers' back pay; the House only introduced legislation.
In the 2013 shutdown, which occurred in the Obama administration, some 800,000 people on the federal payroll were sent home for more than two weeks. Another 1.3 million had to work without knowing when they'd be paid.
The current shutdown is approaching two weeks as Congress opens its new session.
The Fair Standards Labor Act provides for liquidated damages. This means workers who do not receive at least minimum wage and overtime pay on their regular paydays are entitled to double pay.
After a lawsuit, a federal judge ultimately ruled that workers affected during the Obama administration shut down are owed double back pay. Some of those workers are still waiting.
Currently closed agencies include the FTC and the CPSC (though the consumer hotline and employees who guard against "imminent threats to human safety" must keep working). About 4 in 10 FDA employees are furloughed, and the agency cannot accept regulatory submissions with fees for FY 2019 at this time.


Sky Revolutions offers time-lapse photography to record and document progress, construction site progress, compressing hours, days or months into a few minutes' worth of footage.
Our high resolution cameras can be deployed using telescopic masts or fixed to a UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) at the specified height and time intervals. We can help you to monitor and record your projects, reducing the need for frequent site visits and providing high quality time stamped footage to your specification.
Our fixed mast time-lapse projects offer a distinct advantage for construction site progress imaging. Traditionally, time-lapse imaging requires cameras to be fixed to scaffolding or adjacent buildings, meaning the point-of-view is dictated by the structural surroundings. With fixed telescopic masts, we can deploy and position a camera anywhere; finding the best point-of-view, frequently gaining more height, and providing a better perspective / more interesting finished film for our clients.

Olgina ist ein Großdorf (estnisch alevik) in der Stadtgemeinde Narva-Jõesuu (bis 2017 Landgemeinde Vaivara). Es liegt im Kreis Ida-Viru (Ost-Wierland) im Nordosten Estlands.

Beschreibung und Geschichte
Das Großdorf hat 523 Einwohner (Stand 1. Januar 2012). Es liegt fünf Kilometer vom Stadtzentrum der drittgrößten estnischen Stadt Narva entfernt. Während der sowjetischen Besetzung Estlands war es Zentrum einer Kolchose.

Olgina entstand nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg an der Stelle zerstörter Dörfer. Früher befand sich dort das Dorf Tunderküla (auch Tünderküla). Es ist seit 1499 urkundlich belegt. In der Nähe lag das Dorf Olgino, das in den Kämpfen zwischen der Roten Armee und der deutschen Wehrmacht ebenfalls vollständig vernichtet wurde.

Zum Gebiet des Ortes gehört ein unterirdischer Friedhof. Er wurde vom 15. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert genutzt. Die Anlage steht heute unter Denkmalschutz.

Im Jahr 1700 fanden in den Gegend während des beginnenden Großen Nordischen Krieges tausende schwedische und russische Soldaten während der Gefechte den Tod.

Touristisches Ausflugsziel ist heute das historische Herrenhaus von Vana-Olgina ("Alt-Olgina"). Es bietet auch Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten an.

I spotted it for the first time in the wild today, in white color, it looked pretty cool. Interestingly it was entering the community I live in, so I may see it around again.
In this part of the world GT2s and Gt3s are pretty rare, even while other 911s are a dime a dozen, including turbos. Even 458s are more common. So was interesting to see the latest one this early on, entering my gated community.

Somewhere next week, a boat should arrive in Jebel Ali with 8 (!) delayed GT3s on it, so you should be able to spot a couple of other ones soon. Probably white too though!
Today, my dealer got three white GT3's. One had the white tail lights which I debated getting. Now I am glad I did not.

Your delayed Gt3 will be white but I doubt all 8 will be that color If and when I get another 911 I am thinking yellow (having done GR b4). I go back and forth between a turbo and GT3 everyday, though clearly the n/a one will have more soul. Of course my 458 has enough soul to keep me satisfied, but the main attraction with the gt3 is it can also be my daily beater. I seriously would use it that way. With the 458 attention and parking worries make me use it less, though I have still managed 7500 kms in just 5 months.
note: I should add that the 458 goes over speed bumps like my 5 series BMW, I was in RAK the other day where I encountered some bad roads and horribly over sized and badly shaped speed bumps, which were negotiated and cleared effortlessly. Ground clearance is a concern with gt3 though and i would hate to use a lifter.

Mr. Quirk and his team are focusing on their Floating Island Project in French Polynesia. The government is creating what is effectively a special economic zone for the Seasteading Institute to experiment in and has offered 100 acres of beachfront where the group can operate.
Mr. Quirk and his collaborators created a new company, Blue Frontiers, which will build and operate the floating islands in French Polynesia. The goal is to build about a dozen structures by 2020, including homes, hotels, offices and restaurants, at a cost of about $60 million. To fund the construction, the team is working on an initial coin offering. If all goes as planned, the structures will feature living roofs, use local wood, bamboo and coconut fiber, and recycled metal and plastic.
James Bowery has what I think as a much better plan as it's self sustaining and multiplies exponentially.
There's plans for artificial Islands, (not the Libertarian guys), that could house the whole of the population of planet Earth with four times the energy use that a typical American uses in only fifteen years.
James Bowery, "Exponential Remediation of Civilization's Footprint", on creating new territory.
There are even newer forms of making food would be even more efficient than bio-reactors. Using electricity and air to grow food at up to ten times the efficiency of photosynthesis.
So this is happening now. I think one of the big steps missing is cheap construction materials. We have that coming. Graphene is one of the strongest materials we have and it keeps getting cheaper and cheaper to make. Graphene made from coal or some other cheap carbon source could be the magic material that lowers the cost of construction materials dramatically while providing very good performance.

Essay The Major Regulations on Nuclear Waste Disposal
Posted by: essay
Category: Term paper writing
It is known that the world of nuclear waste has been changed fundamentally since 1992, according to Werner (2002). These changes resulted from the changing scope of radioactive waste throughout the world and reflected involving the appropriate environmental regulation and management practices. As there are different levels of nuclear waste, each level has its regulations on disposal. Both the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency are involved in regulating practices of the disposal of radioactive waste in the USA. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates commercial low-level waste disposal sites on the territory of the country that comply with the major safety standards and regulations. Current regulations require to control the storage facilities, their design, how the nuclear waste is handled, tested and stored in these facilities.
The Low-level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 allows the states to be engaged in the disposal of their low-level radioactive waste. Under this act, the states are encouraged to enter into compacts that give then the opportunity to dispose waste at a common disposal facility (The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Official Site, 2012).
The major regulations on nuclear waste disposal can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the Chapter I, one can find the principal parts of governing low-level waste: Part 61which describes the major licensing requirements for land disposal of radioactive waste and Part 62 which provides information on the �criteria and procedures for emergency access to non-Federal and regional low-level waste disposal facilities�� (The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Official Site, 2012).
Among regulatory guides that are used to assist licensees in implementing NRC regulations are Environmental Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility, Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility, ��Standard Format and Content of a License Application for a Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility and others (The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Official Site, 2012).
The U. S. Department of Energy has developed a number of environmental programs on radioactive waste, including radioactive waste transportation, radioactive waste disposal, and others. For example, it is required to provide safely transportation of radioactive waste across the United States in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation requirements (The U.S. Department of Energy, Official Site, 2012).
Recycling and Re-purposing of Nuclear Waste
Nuclear plants, medicine and weapons produce nuclear waste. Although nuclear waste radioactivity has its specific characteristics �� to fade away over time, this process can take more than 1000 of years. However, nuclear waste cannot be thrown as the garbage because it causes serious damage to the environment. One of the best ways to deal with nuclear waste is to recycle and re-purpose it. In order to perform this operation, it is necessary to take plutonium out of radioactive wastes. Plutonium can be widely used for different purposes, for example for producing electricity in nuclear plants. One of the examples is France with its recycling system. Today nuclear technology allows to have unlimited power and it is sustainable if nuclear waste is recycled into nuclear fuel through the so-called reprocessing. However, today it is clear that nuclear power promise is still a dream, and �the reprocessing technology used to recycle nuclear wastes creates additional wastes, and its end product, refined plutonium, creates many security problems�� (Werner, 2002, p. 479).

At Rhythm we don't just do baptisms. We do baptism parties. On June 18th we're initiating a group of friends into our community through the ancient Christian practice of immersion in water. Get ready to clap and make some noise. This is a time to cheer our friends on and celebrate what Christ has and is doing in their lives.
In preparation for baptism, these folks underwent a three-month mentorship program to help them understand how to live as disciples of Jesus. They each were given a mentor from our community and asked to complete a list of learning activities. These ranged from studying scripture together to serving soup to the poor. The goal was not just to learn about the faith but to live it out together.
If you're interested in being baptized in the future or have any questions, email Liz Sastre.

We want all cats to have a loving forever home.
Winnie is our Pet of the Week!
Winnie is a pretty, 3-year-old tabby with bright green eyes. She has a unique short-haired coat with brown and orange mixed in.
Although Winnie was stray when she came to us, she is very sweet and affectionate. She likes human attention and love just as much as she likes to play. She especially likes to have her cheeks or the top of her head rubbed.
Winnie can get overstimulated and may nip or bite. She will do better in a home with an active adult who will play with her regularly.
Winnie's a perfect mix of playful and sweet, but she needs an adopter who desires companionship and a "buddy" more than a gentle lap cat. CLICK HERE to learn more about Winnie.

Russian Officials Shut Down Gulag Museum
YOSHKAR-OLA, RUSSIA—Russian authorities have reportedly shut down the regional Memorial National Museum of Gulag History in the western city of Yoshkar-Ola in what its founder claims is the country's latest effort to expunge the horrors of Soviet imprisonment. Pressured to vacate, museum founder Nikolay Arakcheev packed up the volunteer-run institution's collection in mid-August, reports Sophia Kishkovsky of The Art Newspaper. The 5,000 objects had been housed in a former headquarters and torture chamber of the Ogpu, a secret police that preceded the KGB—it was until recently the only Gulag museum out of Russia's six that existed in an actual Ogpu building. The museum's objects and archive documents will now return to their donors, many of whom were among the millions sent to Gulags in the 1930s and '40s.
"For ten years, no one touched us," Arakcheev told The Art Newspaper. "It was difficult, but we reached an agreement with all levels of power that we must educate [the public] about non-violence, that it's wrong to violate human rights, that freedom of speech must be protected. Now there is a new governor and the vector of thinking has changed."
President Vladimir Putin has recently made attempts to downplay the atrocities of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, emphasizing his impact on the economy and World War II victory. The Yoshkar-Ola museum's closure follows reports earlier this summer that a clandestine Russian order in 2014 instructed the destruction of data on Gulag prisoners. According to Arakcheev, the museum had become a tourist attraction under Mari El republic's ex-head Leonid Markelov, whose showy urban development projects included replicating the Moscow Kremlin and St. Petersburg's Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. After being arrested on bribery charges, Markelov was replaced by Alexander Yevstifeyev, who "wants to show off in front of the Kremlin," claims Arakcheev.
The museum was deemed "a warehouse" of unattributed items by Yulia Kantor, a research director of the activist-founded Perm-36 Gulag museum, which was taken over by the government in 2015. The director of Moscow's State Central Museum of Contemporary History, Irena Velikanova, compared it to a "grandmother's trunk," while Artem Gotlib, of Moscow's Gulag History State Museum, said the Yoshkar-Ola museum's objects are "dying." Mikhail Fedotov, the country's chairman of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, said that while the museum is in need of "professional museum attribution," it would be "absolutely inadmissible" for the building to be redeveloped commercially. Mikhail Vasyutin, the deputy leader of Mari El, offered an ambiguous plan for the property. "After restoration and reconstruction, the building will be used for social purposes, and what is more will be accessible to various types of groups," he said.

TV Recap
'Mom' Recap: Chris Pratt Joins Wife Anna Faris for Five Cutest Moments — Including Steamy Stable Sex!
By Taylor Ferber
Anyone who is without a significant other and watched the Thursday, January 19, episode of Mom, probably wasn't prepared to feel peak-single. But the episode happened, and we can't say we're mad at it. Chris Pratt joined his real-life wifey Anna Faris as a guest star on the show, and their chemistry was enough to make us sweat throughout the whole darn thing. And we weren't the only ones.
PHOTOS: Hottest Couples Who Fell in Love on Set
Chris played Nick, Marjorie's off-limits and very hot nephew who happened to work at a horse stable and be "professionally shirtless." Needless to say, the horses weren't the only things that were ridden. Among all the cowboy sex were some really sweet moments between Christy (Faris) and Nick. Saddle up, and brace yourselves for the cuteness.

Mega Meter-Flirting
Nick and Christy first met when she asked if he could lend her a quarter for her parking meter. See ya, Tinder. He hit her with a charming one-liner, "Are you a good credit risk?" After some flirting and laughing — because yes, he was that damn smooth — he asked, "Why don't I just give you a full two hours?" as he slid his card in and out of the meter. We repeat: He put his card in and out of her meter. We reckon this was foreshadowing at its finest.

He kept making jokes, and she kept (understandably) giggling like a schoolgirl. As she said goodbye and attempted to part ways, he shamelessly walked alongside her in the same direction. #FirstEncounterGoals
Christy needed to see Nick in action at work, as did all of Us. So she went to the stable, slightly terrified, to get a riding lesson and seek interest on behalf of her son (so she said). If there weren't so many fire hazards, we'd say sparks were flying. Nick gave Christy an apple, and instead of giving it to the horse, she took a bite. He looked at her with a laugh because she was just so endearing that he couldn't help himself. Sigh.
When they rode, Christy was bouncing around, unable to contain her horse, and ultimately fell off. Like a stand-up gentleman, he carried her back to the stable to check out her injured ankle. Her ankle wasn't the only thing that needed healing, though — sexual healing, if you will. She looked at him with an intense gaze, saying, "I'm gonna need your help," and he leaned in for a kiss. "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about," she said as he was on his knees beside her. The stuff of romance right there.
Sex in a Stable
Next, we saw Nick and Christy naked and sweaty under a blanket in the barn — totally loving life. The sexual innuendos came in faster than a herd. "Didn't miss the saddle horn that time!" said Nick. "Be hard to miss," Christy said, as he responded, "Aw, shucks." They laughed and smiled, while Christy had her hand placed on his chest, and he said, "I'll gladly be your dirty little secret." All viewers were then impregnated. Even her mom, Bonnie (Allison Janney), was pumped. "My little girl got banged by a cowboy in a stable!" she said. Oh, yes, she did.

The Dinner Date
On their first date in public at a restaurant, things started off well, as Nick interrupted Christy to say, "I'm sorry, I've got to kiss you," moving his chair right next to hers. With his arm around her, he said, "I've wanted to do this all day." He couldn't stop kissing her or grabbing her face. Soon enough, the whole restaurant noticed, totally judging them, and it got kind of weird but was also hilarious. The other people were probably jealous, honestly.
Nick amped it up another notch by saying, "I don't see anyone but you," and asking the restaurant guests, "She's pretty, isn't she?!" Cuteness reached an aggressive level when Nick got so possessive that he tried to butter Christy's bread with her at the same time. He quickly freaked her out by telling her he was going to marry her and later showed up outside of her house singing and playing guitar. But there is no such thing as too creepy when it's Chris Pratt.
Breaking It Off (in More Ways Than One)
Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy) later explained that her nephew was a little cray and spent time in an institution, which is why he was off-limits. When Christy goes to break things off with Nick, he just laughed it off and called her silly. She began walking away when he held is chest and asked, "What am I supposed to do with this broken heart?" Finally, she turned around and said, "Oh, what the hell, I'm crazy, too," then ran and jumped on him to kiss.
Tell Us: Was Chris and Anna's onscreen chemistry as hot as you expected?
Mom airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Taylor Swift turned 28 on December 13, and it was not only a day for the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer to reflect on her past year—she said it was a great one for her—but it also was the perfect opportunity for her friends to post some rarely seen, adorable pictures and share their love for the squad originator.
Selena Gomez posted an incredibly heartfelt note for her BFF; Lily Aldridge shared her love of Tay and her cat Meredith; and Karlie Kloss squashed any rumors that she and the pop star are anything less than friends with her own greetings for the star. And although Gigi Hadid was noticeably silent on T.Swift's big day, she made up for it on Friday by posting a couple of photos of the two of them that we've never seen before.
The model posted a belated Instagram to wish Swift a happy birthday with photos of the pair cuddling up and looking extra cozy, saying, "a belated wish to an incredible friend, a brilliant mind, a huge heart : HAPPIEST BIRTH[week] my T @taylorswift , you know I love you beyond. You make me so proud ! ❤✨"
These two are just too cute—and they're known for doing other best-friend things together, like filming their own version of James Corden's The Late Late Show's "Carpool Karaoke" to Swift's duet with Hadid's boyfriend Zayn Malik, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever." Or, you know, kicking ass in the "Bad Blood" music video.
It's great to see so many women coming together to celebrate such a big day for their friend, and we're so glad to know that these adorable best-friend selfies exist.

Gluten-free products rely on a combination of various flours and starches to replicate the functional properties of wheat flour. However, potatoes in several forms serve as an excellent gluten-free alternative to wheat-based breading agents.
Consumer expectations and preferences for snacks have evolved to meet on-the-go lifestyles, health preferences and a hunger for new, bold flavors. Here, we look at two prevailing snack trends—flavor and function—that apply to potatoes, and how manufacturers can market and innovate snack foods to capture consumer cravings.
Extensive research has been conducted on the nutritional benefits packed into a single spud. Here, we break down four potato perks that make them a no-brainer for new product formulations geared toward health and wellness.


To dream of a bowl filled with something represents preoccupation with an experience, feelings, or ideas that you want to have a lot of. Noticeably not feeling jealous at all because you have a lot of something. Not being able to think of anything except what is you are doing or dealing with. Indulging in one thing only or not wanting to do anything except "what's on your plate." Enjoying a lot of something or feeling that experiencing a lot of something is easy.
Negatively, a bowl may represent a tendency to think about doing something too much.
To dream of an empty bowl represent feelings about the potential to experience a lot of something easily.
Example: A woman dreamed of seeing herself inside a giant bowl that she was happy about being inside of. In waking life she was lonely and felt that going to a spiritual retreat 4 or 5 times a year that most people only attend once in their life was a good idea. Dreaming about being inside the bowl may have reflected her feelings about herself needing to experience the spiritual retreat all the time to feel that she mattered.
Example 2: A man dreamed of having a giant bowl of soup that got spilled out on the floor leaving it empty. In waking life he was involved with a lot of money and financial decisions and was trying to use it to control his son's life and his son ended up embarrassing him by in front of the family to escape it.
Example 3: A man dreamed of seeing his wife's belly with a bowl in it. In waking life he wife was pregnant and he was very sensitive about protecting her. The bowl in this case may have reflected his feelings about watching his wife slowly grow more pregnant in a passive role.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of seeing a green bowl with apples in it. In waking life she had an conversation the day before about why she was a better parent than someone else because she had more children they they did. The green bowl in this case may have reflected her jealous need to draw attention to the fact that she currently has more children than someone else.

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council Has Links to GMOs
Major Victory as Portland, Oregon Votes NO on Water Fluoridation
Iron in Your Blood
The UK government's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council is the largest funder of Rothamsted Research, which is a leading developer of GM technologies
Rothamsted Research has a joint laboratory with China under the direction of Guangyuan He, a researcher whose 2012 study on GM wheat was recently retracted due to fraudulent content "with serious consequences to wheat production and its economic impact"
Increasing research demonstrates GM crop dangers to both the environment and human health, but governments around the globe continue to ignore these red flags in favor of industry interests
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is one of seven UK Research Councils, which are funded by the government's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
Their vision, as stated on their Web site, is "to lead world-class 21st century bioscience, promoting innovation and realizing benefits for society within and beyond the UK."1
The UK government is known to be very receiving to genetically modified organisms (GMO) and last year the UK's Agriculture Biotechnology Council (ABC) even published a new report "Going for Growth," which, according to GMWatch, "calls for GM to be put at the heart of agricultural development in the UK."2
While ABC is not a government authority -- it's a GM industry lobby group that represents the interests of Monsanto, Bayer, DuPont, Syngenta and other biotech giants – the organization met with key UK government officials to present their case, and reportedly "the industry's push for GM is already being welcomed."
This indeed appears to be the case, as now evidenced by a significant connection between BBSRC and a leading biotech research firm, Rothamsted Research.
BBSRC Is Rothamsted's Largest Funder, Tied to Fraudulent Research
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council is the largest funder of Rothamsted Research. This publically funded firm is working on developing projects like genetically modified wheat that deters aphids and genetically modifying wheat and other seeds to change the contents of minerals, fatty acids and other nutrients.
Last year a group of 400 protestors, including farmers, politicians and activists, demonstrated outside an open-air test plot for Rothamsted's GM wheat, voicing concerns that it could contaminate other crops and take away consumers' access to non-GM wheat.
Professor Maurice Moloney, head of Rothamsted Research, also authored a statement from the UK's Science Media Centre (which is funded by Monsanto, Syngenta and other biotech giants) that attempted to debunk an independent study demonstrating harm from eating genetically engineered food…
Yet Rothamsted Research is in no place to be discrediting other research. In fact, they have a joint laboratory with China under the direction of Guangyuan He, a researcher whose 2012 study on GM wheat was recently retracted due to fraudulent content "with serious consequences to wheat production and its economic impact."3
This is the same group of researchers who also retracted a separate study on GM wheat last year after claiming they were having trouble replicating the findings.4
Ironically, all the links to Rothamsted's Web pages mentioning its Joint Lab with China and its ties to Guangyuan He were mysteriously no longer working at the time of this writing.5
Government Ties to the Biotech Industry Are Not Confined to the UK…
It's not only the UK government that appears to be selling out its citizens, funding GM research and allowing GM crops to be planted even as mounting evidence points to their significant environmental and human health risks.
In the US, Monsanto―a company that admits it wants to own the world's food supply through its patented genetically engineered seeds―spends millions lobbying Congress each year. Monsanto's legislative agenda also includes the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -- all of which have a say in whether or not you get to know whether the food you're eating has been genetically engineered.
To get an idea of just how broad and deep Monsanto's reach is, take a look at the following chart. Over the years, this biotech giant has successfully infiltrated an ever-increasing number of high-level federal regulatory positions in the US government, many of which are positions meant to protect your food safety. The bottom line is that the biotech industry is becoming intertwined with vast sections of government's around the globe, successfully blurring the line between the agencies meant to protect the food supply and those who wish to control it…
Why Is Caution Warranted for GMOs?
Many consumers around the globe are still in the dark about the very real risks that GM crops pose. The Canadian news station CBC News recently reported that despite warnings that GM foods could destroy the environment and pose risks to agricultural diversity, most Canadians have "no strong views on the matter." Andreas Boecker, an associate professor at the University of Guelph who has researched consumer acceptance of GM foods, told CBC News:6
"These concerns among farmers and informed groups of consumers do not translate to the average consumer. They are too far removed from the concerns of the farming community… And if you go by shopping behavior most foods that they buy have some share of GMOs."
This is precisely what the biotech industry wants, even as increasing research demonstrates GM crop dangers. One recent study found that rats fed a type of genetically engineered corn that is prevalent in the US food supply for two years developed massive mammary tumors, kidney and liver damage, and other serious health problems. This was at dietary amounts of about 10 percent. If you live in the US and you eat processed foods, your diet probably contains far more than 10 percent GM foods…
Last year, University of Canterbury Professor Jack Heinemann also released results from genetic research he conducted on a type of GM wheat, which showed with 'no doubt' that molecules created in the wheat, which are intended to silence wheat genes to change its carbohydrate content, may match human genes and potentially silence them. This could lead to significant changes in the way glucose and carbohydrates are stored in the human body, which could be potentially deadly for children and lead to serious illness in adults.
A 2012 nutritional analysis of GMO corn versus non-GMO corn also showed that these two foods are not essentially equal, as both the biotech industry and government agencies like to claim. Instead, shocking differences in nutritional content were found showing non-GMO corn contains 437 times more calcium, 56 times more magnesium, and 7 times more manganese than GMO corn.7
It's important to realize that genetically engineered foods have never been proven safe for human consumption over a lifetime, let alone over generations. The longest industry-funded animal feeding study was 90 days, which recent research has confirmed is FAR too short. In the world's first independently funded lifetime feeding study, massive health problems set in during and after the 13th month, including organ damage and cancer. Not to mention, there is no safety monitoring. Once the GE item in question has been approved, not a single country on earth is actively monitoring and tracking reports of potential health effects, which means we may never know their true consequences, that is, until it's too late.
Did You Know the Purported 'Benefits' of GM Crops Are Largely Untrue?
The authors of the report GMO Myths and Truths8 (who include Michael Antoniou, PhD, a 28-year veteran of genetic engineering technology who has himself invented a number of gene expression biotechnologies, as well as John Fagan, PhD, a leading authority on food sustainability, biosafety, and GMO testing) took a science-based approach to evaluating the available research, and came to the conclusion that most of the scientific evidence regarding safety and increase yield potential do not support the claims made at all.
In fact, the evidence demonstrates that the claims for genetically engineered foods are not just wildly overblown; they simply aren't true. It makes it all the more alarming that the UK and US governments continue to give GM crops a green light when these authors concluded GM crops:
Are laboratory-made, using technology that is totally different from natural breeding methods, and pose different risks from non-GE crops Can be toxic, allergenic and less nutritious than their natural counterparts Are not adequately regulated to ensure safety
Do not increase yield potential Do not reduce pesticide use but increase it Create serious problems for farmers, including herbicide-tolerant "superweeds," compromised soil quality, and increased disease susceptibility in crops
Have mixed economic effects Harm soil quality, disrupt ecosystems, and reduce biodiversity Do not offer effective solutions to climate change
Are as energy-hungry as any other chemically-farmed crops Cannot solve the problem of world hunger but distract from its real causes – poverty, lack of access to food and, increasingly, lack of access to land to grow it on
According to their report, there are three major potential sources of adverse health effects from genetically engineered foods:
The genetically modified gene product – for example, the Bt toxin in GM insecticidal crops may be toxic or allergenic
The GM transformation process may produce mutagenic effects, gene regulatory effects, or effects at other levels of biological structure and function that result in new toxins or allergens and/or disturbed nutritional value
Changes in farming practices linked to the use of a genetically modified organism may result in toxic residues – for example, higher levels of crop contamination with the herbicide Roundup are an inevitable result of using GM Roundup Ready® crops
In the UK GM Foods Must Be Labeled, But NOT in the US
Even as their government continues to fund and welcome GMOs, residents of the UK at least have the ability to identify foods that contain GMOs by their labels. In fact, this is the case in the entire European Union (EU). According to the Food Standards Agency:9
"In the EU, if a food contains or consists of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or contains ingredients produced from GMOs, this must be indicated on the label. For GM products sold 'loose', information must be displayed immediately next to the food to indicate that it is GM."
This is in stark contrast to the US, where GM foods are still not labeled. But chances are, if you eat processed foods, your diet is chock full of GM ingredients you didn't even know about -- causing equally unknown consequences to your health. GM crops already in production in the US include:10
Alfalfa (first planting 2011) Canola (approx. 90% of US crop) Corn (approx. 88% of US crop in 2011)
Cotton (approx. 90% of US crop in 2011) Papaya (most of Hawaiian crop; approximately 988 acres) Soy (approx. 94% of US crop in 2011)
Sugar Beets (approx. 95% of US crop in 2010) Zucchini and Yellow Summer Squash (approx. 25,000 acres) Animal products (milk, meat, eggs, honey, etc.) because of contamination in feed
Common ingredients derived from these ubiquitous GM crops, which are added to the majority of US processed foods, include:11
Amino Acids Aspartame Ascorbic Acid Sodium Ascorbate
Vitamin C Citric Acid Sodium Citrate Ethanol
Flavorings ("natural" and "artificial") High-Fructose Corn Syrup Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Lactic Acid
Maltodextrins Molasses Monosodium Glutamate Sucrose

Dim lights, but high ceilings. An old warehouse building, but newly remodeled. A big crowd, but this is the only time the brewery will be open all week. An industrial section of Five Points, once forgotten, but now on the map. A neighborhood brewery, but a destination for beer fans from Boulder, Fort Collins, Oregon and beyond.
We're seated at a table beneath a large painting of Johnny Cash holding his guitar and giving us the bird in his smiling, ironic way. These are my first impressions of Black Shirt Brewing . . . I dig it. And it's quite different, the opposite actually, from the family-friendly vibe of Brewery Rickoli. These unique angles on beer are part of why we love touring every brewery in Colorado.
Earlier, while we waited for a table to open, we perched at a standing bar that looked into their brew house, a fun aesthetic for anyone who loves the aroma of malts and hops as much as I do. And one can see the potential for an additional warm vibe during the summer months: a large garage door opens from the taproom to the outside. We're just hoping that they extend to more regular hours; they could certainly attract the crowds.
As for the beer, it's artisan and focused. All four beers on tap were considered reds, each named for their style. But what seems like simplification is an actual refined finesse; something you realize the minute the beer comes to your table in a shell-shaped stem-glass designed to increase the aromatics of the beer. I'm eager to find these glasses for my own collection at home.
– The Red Pale Ale: 4% abv session . . . a smooth and delicious red nectar.
– The BSB Red (used as the base for the rest of the beer): 6.5% abv . . . this was the reigning favorite of the day. Not too complex, but a perfect balance: it both quenched our thirst, and made us want more of it.
– The Red Saison: Balanced by a malty backbone and a yeasty bite . . . kind of the perfect saison for the warm start to winter, don't you think?
This focus on red beer (this is not a Corona with Clamato) lets people know what reds can be. I look forward to returning in the future and seeing what new brews they offer and what new styles they choose to focus on brewing.
Mini Mini-Series on Atmosphere: I've been pretty keen on the topic of context lately, and specifically observant about the way the "when and where" I'm drinking beer changes my enjoyment. This was made particularly clear to me in a recent article that talked about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Once a hop-head favorite (before there were hop-heads), fans of this Pale Ale now claim that "the beer has changed." While the recipe for Sierra Nevada may have changed slightly, it's more likely that our palettes have rapidly evolved. What was once considered "hoppy" no longer compares to the hob-bombs available today.
Similar to changing palettes (as individual beer drinkers and as a customer base on the whole), I think atmosphere dictates a little bit of our enjoyment and experience with beer as well. And this couldn't be more true than in three of Metro Denver's newest breweries to open. This mini mini-series will cover Rickoli (see yesterday's post), Black Shirt Brewing (today), and Our Mutual Friend (Thursday).

Plain speaking on public health
What if Sydney University's complementary medicine research shows it's useless?
May 27, 2015 12.44am EDT
Simon Chapman, University of Sydney
Professor of Public Health, University of Sydney
Simon Chapman is professor of public health in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney and a member of Friends of Science in Medicine. He was the 2013 Australian Skeptic of the Year.

The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney has just announced A$1.3 of funding from Blackmores, the complementary medicine manufacturer, for a Chair in Integrative Medicine (a blending of evidence-based conventional and complementary medicine). It will be named after the company's owner, Maurice Blackmore.
The Dean of the Faculty, Bruce Robinson, has given a coherent and persuasive account of why research in this area is of importance to modern medical practice. Nearly a quarter of Australians with chronic health problems use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the bewildering range and often changing nature of these products are often of unknown efficacy, and may have important adverse or beneficial interactions with prescribed medicines.
Still, more of the "worried well" regularly use unnecessary vitamins and other dietary supplements, often achieving little other than the generation of expensive urine in consumers and handsome profits in manufacturers.
Robinson is correct in arguing that medical practitioners and students know little about what a significant proportion of their patients are using and about whether these preparations help, harm, generate only placebo effects or simply waste patients' money. And he is absolutely correct in making it clear from the beginning that the relationship will be at "arm's length", with Blackmores having no say in the research projects selected, in vetting the results produced, or in any post-publication researcher communications about those results.
But there is already a great deal of evidence about a large number of complementary and alternative medicine preparations being useless, and about how faith in their magical properties can too often cause people with serious health problems to stay away from "conventional" evidence-based treatments of known effectiveness.
Complementary and alternative medicine manufacturers continue to produce and promote many of these substances, paying no heed to the evidence for their uselessness.
Conventional medicines (so-called "ethical pharmaceuticals") have to pass through onerous regulatory hurdles to prove both safety and efficacy. With the exception of the United States and New Zealand, prescribed medicines cannot be advertised directly to consumers. While the complementary and alternative medicine industry has to satisfy concerns about safety and toxicity, it does not have to satisfy standards of efficacy and can promote useless products in often quasi-mystical and vague language.
The University of Sydney needs to be extremely careful that its association with Blackmores does not turn into a "CAM-wash" exercise, where any adverse research findings on efficacy or interactions are ignored by the company, with the products not being withdrawn or the promotional language unchanged.
There are social and financial costs in the mass consumption of unnecessary and ineffective "medicines". The pages of medical journals routinely expose such drugs in the conventional medicines area. Many are highly sceptical that far too many players in the complementary and alternative medicine industry are the historical siblings of snake-oil medicine. For the Blackmores-University of Sydney association to repudiate that concern, it will be important to see evidence that the evidence-based and ethical principles at the heart of medical research are both shared and acted upon by the company.
In view of the sensitivities involved over potential reputational damage, the Faculty would do well to appoint an external audit committee to periodically review the relationship and to provide the Faculty with a report on the impact of the research program on the way Blackmores responds to the research it will have supported.

Delhi Capitals will be hoping that Rabada-Iyer's form will spur a wave of consistency in their team's play overall.
Weird as it may sound, Royal Challengers Bangalore are a very dangerous side at the moment. Sure, their batsmen are struggling for momentum, their bowlers are struggling to make a crucial impact, their fielders are struggling to hold catches, and their captain is running out of ideas. It is no wonder that they are almost out of running for the play-offs.
As of now, it is a pride thing for Bangalore. They want to register that first win, and mathematically still hope to be in contention, if not theoretically. This is where the danger emanates from. This will be another close IPL season for the middle-rung teams and as the race for play-offs heats up, no one would want to trip up. Someone definitely will, even if it is a stretch to see Bangalore registering a win here. And when that happens, it will be a body blow.
In that light, Delhi Capitals will heave a sigh of relief that they didn't trip up at a crucial juncture in their campaign. At best, Delhi have blown hot and cold thus far in the season, as they try to marry youth with experience. It has worked at times and fallen flat in other instances. The need of the hour after back-to-back losses to Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad was to get back into winning mode. This is where Kagiso Rabada and Shreyas Iyer delivered for their team.
To begin with, the toss was quite crucial in this game for Delhi who increasingly look like a team that wants to be on the front-foot from the go. Maybe it is the joint influence of Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly, as both were aggressive captains in their time. They like to set the agenda, whether it is in terms of toss, team composition or even playing conditions. It is why the hue and cry about a slow, spin-friendly track at Kotla against Hyderabad wasn't such a surprise.
Even so, winning the toss and opting to bowl is exactly what Delhi wanted to do, as has been their wont in previous games. It is a keen strategy for a relatively young batting unit – they want a target in front of them so as to build their innings accordingly. Of course, the first task is to restrict the opposition, and that is never an easy task against the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
Delhi trust in Rabada to deliver though, and as in the case of Jasprit Bumrah, it is increasingly obvious why he is one of the best bowling talents going around. On a wicket with good bounce, he mixed up deliveries cleverly, using change of pace to fox batsmen both early and late into his spell. And while that took care of more experienced batsmen like Kohli and Parthiv Patel, bowling full pace later in the innings helped Rabada snare another two wickets to finish with his best figures in IPL.
Rabada's time with Delhi has been mutually beneficial. As a young, but brilliant pacer, he sits well with their theory of building the franchise up. Meanwhile, they have shown deep faith in the South African and retained him for many years now. Perhaps 2019 is the season when this relationship is at its productive best.
He now leads Delhi's pace attack, even as Ishant Sharma and Trent Boult have proven consistent and expensive at times. Rabada holds one spot in the bowling attack, allowing the team management to use other resources around him and bring in different permutations to the playing eleven. Not to mention, he gels well with Chris Morris, another Proteas' stalwart in the Delhi camp.
Barring the game against Sunrisers, Delhi's bowling has been widely on the mark. Meanwhile, they have been let down by their batting line-up's inconsistency, particularly in the game against Punjab when they slipped from an easy, winnable position. This is the key hurdle Delhi have to overcome if they are to stand any chance of making the Play-offs, and graduate from an also-ran team.
In that light, Sunday's game could be a starting point for this Delhi batting line-up.
So far, Delhi have had spurts from Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant and Colin Ingram. They have missed flourishing knocks, particularly from the top-order, or impactful cameos from the middle order. But more importantly, they have missed someone to anchor the innings every time they have padded up.
Delhi Capitals had hoped Shikhar Dhawan would be that man. He started off well with 43 and 51 against Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings respectively, but since then, his form has tapered down with 16, 30, 12 and 0 in the ensuing four innings. While it is a bit worrying from India's World Cup point of view, there is still time in the tournament for Dhawan to recover his form for the upcoming English summer. This, however, is about Delhi Capitals, and they might not have as much patience.
This is where young skipper Shreyas Iyer has become pivotal to the Delhi batting line-up. Coming in at number three, he is slotted to make a significant impact for his side and Iyer is just only starting to join the dots. He started slowly with 16 and 18 against Mumbai and Chennai, then put up 43, 28 and another 43 against KKR, Kings XI and Hyderabad, before coming up with an anchoring, match-winning knock of 67 against Bangalore on Sunday.
Sure, there is a touch of inconsistency therein but this is T20 cricket and it is to be expected from a singular batsman. The underlying point being that Iyer is the bedrock Delhi have been searching for in the batting department, and he is starting to realise that this line-up revolves around him. To his credit, the youngster has juggled captaincy duties very well and if he could get himself back in national contention, the future could look very bright for him indeed.
In the short term meanwhile, Delhi Capitals will be hoping that Rabada-Iyer's form will spur a wave of consistency in their team's play overall.


Google Docs has gone mobile. Well, not yet – but they've said we're only days away. Yup, this week is just full of mobile surprises from Google (apparently it is also a good week to own an iPhone.) Soon you'll be to edit Google Docs on your iOS, or Android device. But, don't let me spoil all the fun – check out the groovy video Google made for the announcement after the jump.
When Google Product Manager, Jonathan Rochelle, announced the new version of Google Docs last April, the request for a mobile edition almost drowned out the feedback boards. With that said this new announcement is a pretty big deal. All iOS users who are running version 3.0 or higher will have access to Google Docs Mobile, and at this point that pretty much includes ALL iOS users. For Android the story is a little different, the new mobile version of Google Docs is only rolling out to all Froyo (version 2.2) devices. Many Android phones still aren't running Froyo, so there's quite a few people left out.
its nice what Google does make easy for us i used in my iPhone thanks groovy for the post .


The Peninsula Ride went well, even if the weather was a bit overcast and damp at the start!
See photos below, taken outside Andy Strapz's shop in Seaford, which was the second stop of the day (the first stop was at Antique Motorcycles near Moorabbin Airport, which was after the main group rode down from the West Gate bridge meeting point).
We then rode on down to Balnarring for a lunch of lovely meat pies and coffee.
After lunch, with the weather on the improve, two of the guys, Paul and Jeff, decided the pace was too hectic and left the group to return home (or maybe they were just bored). They missed the best part of the ride!
[Actually, they got separated from the main group and headed off in the wrong direction, but still had a great ride after finding themselves on the southern side of Flinders].
We left Balnarring and headed up to the back of Arthurs Seat, then back down to Flinders, where I took a few more photos (below).
After Flinders, we headed down to Sorrento where the guys from the west of the city took the ferry across to Queenscliff , to ride home through Geelong.
The three of us that didn't take the ferry went back to the city by another route and arrived home at 5-6pm.
I don't know about the others, but I had a very enjoyable day, cruising about the Peninsula. There are some great roads down there, and the scenery is spectacular.

Some sad news… Yamaha has announced that production of the SR400 has ceased, due to increasingly strict motorcycle exhaust gas regulations.
Production ceased in August, with the announcement being made on September 1.
A number of other Yamaha models have also been discontinued, such as VMAX, XJR 1300, V Star 250 & 400, XT 250, Tricker, and WR 250.
However, in more positive news, Yamaha also announced that they are working on the development of a successor model for the SR400 (but the release date has not yet been decided).
Listen to TWO podcasts by motoring journalist Greg ('Snag') Leech, as he chats with the Club's own Grant Roff! Enjoy!

Ellaspede (a custom motorbike and lifestyle business in Brisbane) has just released two Tracker Conversion Kits for the Yamaha SR400.
The kits are designed to be easy enough to bolt on in an afternoon or evening to transform your standard Yamaha SR400 into a custom tracker!
The Seat Conversion Kit and the Complete Conversion Kit are designed for EFI SR400s, but may also be retro-fitted to any SR400 back to 1978. The kits have been designed to be 100% 'bolt-on', without the need for any frame modifications, which is beneficial to owners / home-builders who wish to retain factory frame warranties.
The kits don't require any specialist tools, welding, or your own personal mechanic to install! A basic set of hand tools is all you need to unbolt the standard parts and replace them. Customise your bike on a Saturday, and be out riding on Sunday!
The SR400 shown in the photos below (dubbed the 'White Knight') was designed to showcase the conversion. Ellaspede took it a little further and designed a Kenny Roberts / Yamaha speed block-inspired livery, and added a tracker front plate, but apart from that, the bike features the Seat Conversion Kit and many of the optional parts from the Complete Conversion Kit as well.
The Seat Conversion Kit rear cowl ships in a gloss black finish as standard, but the factory SR400 grey can be specified as an option at time of purchase. A range of Ellaspede SR400 Tracker sticker kits will also be available to quickly transform the standard grey finish into something a little more 'racey', much like applying new stickers to an MX or enduro bike.
The 'White Knight' has since been fitted with an Ellaspede SR400 Ninja Star Licence Plate Kit, headlight, indicators and mirrors, ready to hit the city streets and dirt roads around Brisbane!
Both conversion kits are currently being produced and will be ready for shipping from August 2017.
Victorian SR500 Club members Ryan and Tony Jones recently attended a 'First Aid for Motorcyclists' course, the cost of which is subsidised 50% ($42.50) by the Club for all financial members (see Noticeboard for details).
The course is very professionally run with two instructors and around ten course participants at our session. The lead instructor, Paul Ellis, is an Intensive Care Nurse at the Alfred Emergency & Trauma Centre in Melbourne and a Kawasaki Versys-riding motorcyclist. The course is well structured with a preamble covering their sponsors Maurice and Blackburn Lawyers, and the website motorbikewriter.com. The nitty gritty starts with an overview of motorcycle road trauma statistics around Australia covering when, why and where motorcyclists come to grief on the road. This is followed by brief presentation from a Maurice and Blackburn lawyer explaining the process involved in seeking compensation for accidental injury both within the TAC system and beyond in civil cases where further compensation is sought.
This was all really good information and we had plenty of 'hands-on' time learning how to approach and deal with injured riders, moving them to safety, getting them into the 'recovery' position, the correct method of full face helmet removal, CPR, and basic First Aid for bleeding, fractures, and burns. Participants are given some handy course material for future reference which includes a small card for your wallet which outlines what you have been taught. It was recommended that all motorcyclists should download onto their smartphone the free application 'Emergency +' which has the emergency numbers you need, and very importantly, your exact GPS coordinates so you can tell the emergency services exactly where you are located.
All things considered, the 'First Aid for Motorcyclists' course is thorough, well run, and highly recommended for all motorcyclists. It is not a comprehensive St Johns Ambulance-type course, but more of a 'first responder' program where you understand how to make the accident scene safe, call for help, make the injured comfortable, and where required, administer some basic First Aid, which may well save a life.
Tony practises safe helmet removal.
Ever since it's inception, the Club's PO Box has been located in The Patch in the Yarra Ranges (which is where Club co-founder, Chris Manhal, happened to be living at the time).
The Club hasn't had any members who live in The Patch for several years now (Chris included!), and we've had to rely on having mail redirected to the Club (the Treasurer lives 40-50 km away from The Patch!). This meant that there were often delays in the Club receiving mail from members (i.e. membership applications, renewals, merchandise requests, etc.).
We will keep the PO Box at The Patch open until the end of the year, but please start using our new Braeside address from now on.
