After watching the fabulous Big Fish Fight week on Channel 4 recently, I, like the 500,000 people who are backing Hugh Fearnley-Whittinghstall's campaign, have vowed to eat a wider range of fish.
The programme and campaign, if you didn't see it, (to see a trailer, click through to my previous blog post Channel 4: Hugh's Big Fish Fight – starts tonight) aimed to expose the devasting practice of fishing by quota, whereby vast quantities of fish get thrown overboard because they do not meet the criteria or quotas set by Europe's common fisheries policy or because they have no market value. The campaign also aimed to encourage people to eat a wider range of fish to give our over-fished favourites a chance to be replenished.
But before we all rush out and buy a plethora of unsung heroes, it is vital that we give a little thought to how our fish is stored, processed and ultimately used at home. What we can't afford to do, in my opinion, is to indiscriminately buy this wonderful fish, only to store it insufficiently, or prepare too much and end up throwing it away. And that's why I say, for fresh fish buy frozen.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a myth that frozen food is inferior in quality to fresh, but this is often not the case. In fact with fish, it is the opposite. Frozen-at-sea fish are caught at the peak of their quality and frozen within 4 hours, meaning that it is at it's freshest, tastiest and has all of it's nutrients and goodness 'locked in'.
Unless you live by a local harbour, any fresh fish that you buy from a supermarket or similar can be up to 14 days old. This is because fresh fish can spend a long time in the food distribution chain before it reaches your supermarket counter. In some cases it can be up to 10 days old before it's even reached the harbour!
Another great advantage of buying frozen fish is that it is convenient – always a huge plus when you are a busy mum like me. Not only does frozen save you time, but because you only need to cook what you need when you need it, there is limited or no wastage at all too. With food prices continuing to rise, it is vital that we get the most from our food and again frozen fish ticks the box, it is less expensive than fresh (did you know that frozen fish and seafood can be up to 25% cheaper than fresh) plus it has a longer storage life – freezing, the most natural form of preserving – just add frozen water!
So taking all of the above on board (excuse the pun) I have decided to cast my net (there I go again) and introduce some new fishy flavours to my family.
As I am a NewIceAge mumbassador, I have been kindly sent a voucher from the wonderful people at TheNewIceAge.com and The Fish Society, to try a variety of whitefish, shellfish and crustaceans from their incredible online store www.thefishsociety.co.uk.
Over the next couple of blogs, I will be sharing with you my thoughts on the fantastic frozen fish treats that I have chosen, showing you how simple they are to cook and how delicious we all found them and why as the Queen of Easy Green™, I back frozen fish for saving time, money and waste.
I will also be giving you an opportunity to discover some new fish favourites yourself, as The Fish Society have kindly agreed to offer you, my readers, a £10 discount with orders over £65 (when visiting their website, just use the code ICEAGE).
So pop back soon to find out how I got on and land yourself a treasure trove of frozen fish goodness.

Choice, bro
by Jane Clifton / 03 July, 2010
The definition of what it means to be a New Zealander is changing. Jane Clifton looks at the seven characteristics of the new us.
Some days, it can be hard to recognise ourselves. As a nation, we are used to being told from on high that we are over-indebted, big-spending, house-mad, underpaid, insufficiently productive, over-eating, sports-obsessed, underinvesting, alcohol-abusing, nuclear-free, child-beating carbon-emitters.
In our kinder moments, we prefer to evoke older notions of New Zealandness: Kiwi ingenuity, anti-materialism, tolerance and, above all, egalitarianism.
But a recent study conducted at Massey University shows we are not as egalitarian as we used to be; racial tension flares regularly, our ingenuity is chronically underfunded in research and development terms, and shopping is one of our leading leisure activities.
There is a deeper aspect to the national character, however.
American anthropologists Patricia Sunderland and Rita Denny, of Practica, a firm that specialises in sociological and psychographic research, have done an in-depth project for New Zealand advertising firm DraftFCB to map the distinctive qualities of the New Zealander. Practica - whose extensive client list includes Johnson & Johnson, Kmart, Coca-Cola, Nissan, McDonald's, Pernod Ricard and several global advertising agencies - has conducted similar research in a host of other countries, including Australia, and was able to assess New Zealand comparatively.
Practica broke us down into seven "legends" - defining characteristics - within which it identified some tensions and dichotomies. And yes, all our favourite self-definitions were represented: the value we place on knowing what to do with a length of No 8 fencing wire, the "she'll be right" ethos, the barbecue on the beach idyll and the inevitable "tall poppy". And no, they didn't once remark on our addiction to buying huge flat-screen TVs.
The first and most important aspect of New Zealandness, Practica found, was our relationship with the land. New Zealanders' sense of self-definition is heavily bound up with love of the natural world. We share this with Australia, but there's a twist. Australia has a strongly physical relationship with the land, needing to have a sense of conquest or control - because their environment can be hostile and can kill them. With New Zealanders' climate and landscape being rather more benign, our view is apparently more spiritual, even soulful.
This goes some way to explaining the resistance to mining this side of the Tasman. Apparently we want to keep the land the way it is, whereas Australians are more comfortable with changing and exploiting the land. "And you can see an echo of this in our national anthems. Ours is God Defend New Zealand; theirs is Advance Australia Fair," says David Thomason, DraftFCB's director of planning.
He says it's no accident that car advertising differs each side of the Tasman. In New Zealand Toyota is promoted as enabling people to get out and celebrate and enjoy the landscape. In Australia, it's a "hard-arse" brand, the theme of a new campaign there being it's too dangerous to go into the outback without a Toyota.
That we love our land might seem obvious to us - but it is quite a distinctive thing about New Zealand. The populations of the world's great cities would not think of their landscape the way we do, Thomason says.
This bond seems to be a home-grown rather than inherited thing. Maori seem to always have had it, and Pakeha have developed it. Early houses were often built heedless of sun and views, as the European ethos was that indoors was indoors, and outdoors was hostile, something to be firmly shut out. Now, as Thomason points out, "indoor-outdoor flow" is epidemic in real estate, practically regardless of aspect.
He says one of the anthropologists was struck by the keenness of her interview subjects to "show you the house" - by which they usually meant their backyards. They found our relationship with the outdoors remarkable in world terms.
A favourite anecdote of the anthropologists was a respondent who spoke admiringly of a Chinese immigrant whose first action - even before learning to speak English - was to buy a bach by the sea. "He 'got it'. He was 'one of us!'"
The second most defining characteristic was our independence, and the high value we put on our freedom. However, there's a wrinkle with this one: we still want the reassurance of bigger countries. "We're like the teenager of the world. We want to do our own thing, and we're doing it - but we still really want that pat on the back from overseas."
Again, it's no accident that advertising plays on this. Thomason instances one of our most successful ad campaigns: ASB's Goldstein. "We have to have two Americans telling us how good our bank is." Steinlager imports gritty actors Harvey Keitel and Willem Dafoe to salute our political independence.
Our ambivalence over the monarchy is another sign of adolescence. Symbolically, we want to ditch Mummy and Daddy, but it's a superficial gesture. We really need the world to notice us.
The teenage diagnosis doesn't just reflect the youth of the country, but its relative inexperience with conflict. Aside from the 1860s land wars, there has never been civil war; nor has there been an invasion. This apparently gives us a much stronger sense of freedom than many other countries enjoy.
New Zealand's compactness also gives us a sense of being freer than people in other countries to do what we want when we want. This is a country where you really can ski, see a play, go yachting, buy a designer frock, drink a latte and go for a bushwalk, conceivably all in the same day. Nothing is that far away. The sense that "we've got it all here" and it's all accessible is very strong, Thomason says.
A surprising third characteristic is our masculinity of expression. The anthropologists do not mean this in any anti-feminist sense, but rather they found our language and broad attitudes veered toward the stoical, and blokey, perhaps best opitimised by former All Blacks captain Tana Umaga, who famously told a whistle-happy Australian referee during a rugby game that "'we're not playing tiddlywinks here".
Masculinity of expression is not unusual worldwide, apparently. Here its outward manifestation is in the ubiquity of expressions like "don't be a girl", "suck it up" and "harden up" - used by both sexes. These sayings are emblematic of a culture that expects citizens to, in more neutral terms, show gumption, refrain from snivelling and faffing about, and to demonstrate capability with physical tasks.
Our DIY culture - baffling to many from other countries - is an obvious expression of this. New Zealanders expect to be able to do manual tasks to a level of proficiency - women as well as men - and admire such capability in others. DraftFCB found this instructive in designing campaigns for its client Mitre 10. It found that female customers would not have appreciated the chain being made more "female-friendly". They trusted it as a masculine brand.
That our female leaders - notably Helen Clark, for whom a favourite expressions was the blokey "I've had a gutsful!" - do not bring noticeably feminine qualities to their roles reinforces this observation of ambient blokeyness.
Perhaps the least surprising finding was the fourth one: that sport is a heavily pervasive societal commodity in New Zealand. Sport cuts through where nothing else can. Advertising's classic use of this was in getting former All Black John Kirwan to front awareness campaigns about depression. "Sport is a cultural code. And how we are doing affects how we feel."
Again, Thomason says, Australians are different. Perhaps because their sporting successes are spread across more sports than ours, their jubilation and depression at wins and losses is less intense.
Sport also feeds our need to be noticed by bigger countries. And it fuels our "tall poppies" tendency, in that the notion of team effort and loyalty is highly important to us. This helps explain why Sonny Bill Williams is such a hot-button topic - again. First he walked out on his team and went for the big bucks; now he's turning his back on the money in the hopes of playing for the All Blacks.
And again, this notion of masculinity - putting in the time and hard physical work without complaining - is gratified by a sporting achievement by either sex.
Inevitably, mateship is a key quotient of New Zealandness. The anthropologists found we "worship" our mates. In this, the fifth characteristic, we were least distinguished from other countries' tendencies. Valuing friendship is pretty universal.
However, in our sixth characteristic, we did rate as more easy-going than other nationalities. This was partly in the deathless "she'll be right" sense of the term, but also in our reluctance to get into conflict.
Thomason says an obvious comparison is with Italians, who habitually argue hammer and tongs with one another using furious gestures, strong words and glowering expressions. That is their norm. We'd hate it. We want to keep things cool.
"I've heard ridiculous things said in boardrooms, like 'well, let's agree to disagree', and 'let's take this offline'. We really want to get on, even if we're really in disagreement. Again, it's the teenager thing. We're not that mature, we don't like things to escalate. We're used to peace."
Linked in with this is the tacit Kiwi insistence on modesty, even if we know it's false. A triumphant sporting personality or newly ennobled knight cannot truly be feeling "humble", but we expect them to be more "aw shucks" than "I rock!"
Thomason instances an episode of MasterChef New Zealand in which several contestants said they thought they should be the next to be sacked - something he says wouldn't happen in that TV franchise anywhere else in the world.
With our modesty comes a surprising degree of conformity and resistance to change, he says. "When certain groups of immigrants come here and don't do that well, and don't work as hard as us, we don't like that. But other cultures who come and work harder than us and do better - we're not happy either; we say, 'They're changing the culture!'"
Although we want more global influence, it makes us uneasy. The "easy-going" Kiwi is more anxious about change than he or she would probably like to think. Thomason says perhaps that's part of our predominately British heritage. We have an instinct to be repressive. Again, common expressions paint the picture: settle down, grow up, don't spit the dummy, don't throw your toys out of the cot, get a grip.
Finally - blessedly - the research names humour as our seventh most defining characteristic. It's an understated, laconic humour, often used to defuse conflict. We generally prefer it not to be too direct or pointed.
Thomason says the Australian ad campaign for a chopped tomato product, in which well-known celebrities pose under the slogan "Rich and Thick", would never work here. Too confronting. We like self-mockery, but we like it gentler.
The research has stood DraftFCB in good stead in designing campaigns for its clients - notably the Mitre 10 "sandpit" ad featuring two young boys discussing DIY in the manner of their dads - and failing to elicit support from an Australian playmate.
But it also helps elucidate other superficially curious national phenomena. For instance, who are the genuine Kiwi celebrities and heroes, the ones who actually help sell magazines when they're on the cover, and who get audiences to turn out and occasion widespread admiration? The Topp Twins, Flight of the Conchords, Sir Peter Jackson, Robyn Malcolm, Nigel Latta, Sir Peter Leitch, Sir Richard Taylor - all would tick a healthy number of the anthropologists' boxes.
They have all honoured strong ties to New Zealand, even though most of them could make more money overseas. They've bonded with the land. They're easy-going, as in having an informal, conversational style. They're blokey, or at least have a direct can-do style (Malcolm's Cheryl West TV character has an enviable left hook).
We rate them as world-class, and in several cases the world does too.
With the exception of Malcolm, they're not glamorous in any traditional sense. The two Sir Peters are distinctly rumpled. In contrast, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's hauteur, particularly in dismissing untrained singers like Susan Boyle, has knocked her off her Kiwi pedestal. It feels as if she's telling us off for being New Zealanders. And we get plenty of people doing that already.

Jimmy Garoppolo makes San Francisco 49ers contenders with 'winning DNA'
Dave Birkett
Rarely has a midseason trade changed the fortunes of an NFL franchise as much as the San Francisco 49ers' acquisition of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did last year.
The 49ers were 0-8 and one of the worst teams in the league for the first half of last season, plummeting towards the No. 1 overall pick, when they shoplifted Garoppolo from the New England Patriots for a second-round draft choice.
Garoppolo spent a month learning Kyle Shanahan's offense, and when he finally took over as starting quarterback in early December, the 49ers suddenly looked like one of the better teams in the league.
More on Lions:
Glover Quin losing playing time; start streak to end?
Kerryon Johnson on NFL debut: 'I thought I did OK'
Garoppolo led the 49ers to five straight victories to end the season, including a Week 16 shredding of the Jacksonville Jaguars' NFL-best defense.
And now that he's preparing to face the Detroit Lions and his old New England cohort Matt Patricia on Sunday (4 p.m., Fox), one of his former teammates said Garoppolo is the real deal.
"It was inspiring, man," said Lions linebacker Eli Harold, who spent the last three seasons with the 49ers. "Being there last year and him coming in right away in the game that he started, you could just feel his energy. He has winning DNA and I feel like that's the nature of being a quarterback in this league."
Garoppolo won his first seven NFL starts, two of them with the Patriots in 2016, before losing last week's season opener to the Minnesota Vikings.
While he never threatened Ben Roethlisberger's record of 15 straight wins to start a career, he did enough to establish himself, at 26 years old, as an upper-echelon quarterback in the league.
"He's special," Harold said. "In my eyes, I feel like he can make every throw. He's a fierce competitor, he's a leader. I have much respect for him. He's a great player and I feel like he's the catalyst of that team right now and with him they can be special."
More:Lions changing offensive signals after Jets loss
Garoppolo had his worst outing as a pro last week, completing just 15 of 33 passes for 261 yards with three interceptions. But he still had his 49ers team, minus its best running back (Jerick McKinnon) and receiver (Marquise Goodwin), a touchdown drive away from tying the defending NFC North champs, on the road, when he got the ball at his own 11-yard line with less than 2 minutes to play.
"Jimmy had so much success winning our team over," Shanahan said in a conference call with Detroit reporters on Wednesday. "The day he got here, after just three weeks or a month of just being the backup, he was one of the guys right away. When he took over as the starter, nothing changed. After he won five games in a row, nothing changed. He came back in after a big contract, nothing changed. He had a tough game on Sunday and he's been here the last three days and he's been the exact same guy."
Patricia, the Patriots defensive coordinator during Garoppolo's time in New England, said Garoppolo looks like the same guy he faced every day in practice, too.
Garoppolo completed 67.4 percent of his passes for the 49ers last season, and Shanahan's offense has highlighted his athletic ability and quick decision making.
"It's fun to watch Jimmy," Patricia said. "He's very mobile. He does a great job of getting his eyes downfield. He's got an extremely strong arm, he's very confident in his ability to make plays and he just does a really good job of kind of leading an offense from that standpoint. And the guys, when they step on the field with him during a game, you see that confidence level of everybody pick up, which is really natural. I could see that coming off of what they did last year and rolling into the end of the season with a guy like him stepping him and everybody kind of just gravitating towards him knowing that he's going to help them win. So really good player."
Neither T.J. Lang nor defensive end Ziggy Ansah took part in the open portion of practice on Thursday. Lang, who's dealing with a back injury, was not on the field with teammates, while Ansah (shoulder) ran on the side with a trainer.

The answer to this question depends on the type of bankruptcy relief you select - either the "straight bankruptcy," referred to as Chapter 7, or a Chapter 13 repayment plan.
One of the basic concepts in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that you may lose your assets - whatever they may be. However , there are important exceptions . You are allowed to keep certain exempt assets, the idea being that you need certain basic items in order to make a successful fresh start after bankruptcy.
It is important to inventory all of your assets and then, with the help of your attorney, determine what would be exempt. This allows you to keep as many of your assets as possible. Quite often, especially in a family situation, all of your assets will be exempt, which means you lose nothing after filing bankruptcy.
If you file Chapter 13, you normally keep all of your assets because you are, in fact, paying your debts.
There is a good possibility you will lose none of your property!

Flagging down North Korea on the High Seas
Sara Perlangeli
Commentary, 29 March 2018
Counter-Proliferation Finance, United Nations, Japan, Proliferation and Nuclear Policy
The tight economic noose around North Korea is being weakened by the regime's use of flags of convenience by sanctions-evading ships.
The US Treasury announced last month its 'largest North Korea-related sanctions tranche to date', which included 56 firms and vessels with links to Pyongyang, all of which are subject to asset freeze and remain prohibited from dealing with Americans.
While most of the new designations are North Korea-owned and flagged companies or vessels, nine of the 28 tankers and cargo ships on the list fly foreign flags. Such figures might be small, but what they convey is nonetheless significant – ships registered in countries other than that of their ownership (flying what is known as 'flags of convenience') are or have been involved in illicit activities on behalf of the North Korea.
This violates UN sanctions, which since March 2016 have demanded that member states to strike off vessels 'crewed, owned, or operated' by North Korea from their national ship registers.
International shipping's nature has enabled Pyongyang to flout the law by exploiting the vulnerabilities of a sector characterised by uneven regulatory enforcement. If sanctions are to achieve their intended objectives, that must change.
Vessels normally must be listed in a national ship register and fly that country's flag in international waters. The flag state has jurisdiction over the vessel and is responsible for carrying out inspections. By preventing North Korean vessels from flying foreign flags, it was expected that Pyongyang would be forced to fly its own flag, with all the heightened scrutiny that entailed.
North Korea has been increasingly involved in ship-to-ship transfers to illegally import petroleum products
This, it was hoped, would stem the flow of maritime trade and illicit transactions to and from North Korea, and ultimately deprive regime of an essential source of revenue. Although there is some evidence that this is happening, North Korea continues to use front companies incorporated in offshore locations to register its ships in third countries that offer such services, hence concealing any links with Pyongyang.
North Korea has been increasingly involved in ship-to-ship transfers to illegally import petroleum products clearly exhibit this pattern, as evident in the latest report by the UN Panel of Experts that monitors sanctions implementation.
Acting on behalf of North Korea, ships flagged in Dominica, Hong Kong, China, Panama and Sierra Leone – but tracing back to Taiwan-based networks and affiliated companies registered in the Marshall Islands and the British Virgin Islands – have been involved in costly transfers of petroleum products in the high seas.
As Andrea Berger of the James Martin Center for Non-Proliferation Studies and a RUSI Associate Fellow has noted, Pyongyang has proved itself adept at tactical rebranding exercises, hiding the finger it has in every proverbial pie through complex networks of front companies, false end-users, foreign owners and managers.
As a result, countries allowing foreign-owned vessels into their national shipping registers and issuing flags of convenience are sometimes unwittingly complicit in North Korea's attempts to evade sanctions.
The situation is made worse by the fact that countries operating these 'open registers' often have limited enforcement capacity. Lured by the easy money that comes with registering ships under flags of convenience and often lacking a sufficient bureaucratic apparatus to police their own system, some small states have outsourced the management of their ship registers to foreign companies. This is a problem, as it adds a further layer of obfuscation that Pyongyang can exploit or subvert.
First, outsourcing national ship registers exposes these countries to the risk of having their flag 'hijacked' by rogue agents. Tanzania's ship register – open to foreign vessels until January 2018 – has been affected by this practice.
In August 2012, it emerged that Philtex, a Dubai-based company managing the semi-autonomous Tanzania Zanzibar International Register of Shipping, had allegedly issued Tanzanian flags to Iranian oil tankers that had been struck off from the Tanzanian register, apparently without the knowledge of the authorities.
So long as open registers exist and continue to be profitable enterprises that can be used for illicit activities, deregistered vessels will be re-registered elsewhere
More recently, the UN Panel of Experts noted that deregistered vessels associated with Pyongyang increasingly tended to be reflagged with the United Republic of Tanzania. It is unclear whether this is systematic 'flag hijacking' by rogue agents, or just the unfortunate result of inappropriate due diligence. So, even in the absence of official registration on a national ship register, North Korean vessels have been able to fly foreign flags, by simply falsifying their records without the knowledge of the flag state.
Second, agents contracted by national ship registers that normally issue flags to North Korean vessels have sometimes shown uncanny proximity to Pyongyang. In 2015, media reports suggested that two Singapore-based firms with close connections to North Korea were involved in the management of the national ship registers of Mongolia, Kiribati, Tuvalu and Niue, possibly facilitating North Korean efforts at evading sanctions.
While at the time UN Security Council resolutions did not specifically prohibit member states from registering North Korean ships, it is indicative of the vulnerabilities of the flags of convenience system that Pyongyang might have managed to exert some degree of control over these open registers.
But that opportunity may now be closing for North Korea. In its September 2017 report, the UN Panel of Experts noted a sharp decline in the number of North Korean vessels sailing under foreign registers, accompanied by an increase in registrations to the country.
Panama – whose Maritime Authority operates the world's largest open ship register – has revoked the registration of 20 North Korean vessels flying its flag. This is reassuring, but does little to address the inherent problems of flags of convenience.
So long as open registers exist and continue to be profitable enterprises that can be used for illicit activities, deregistered vessels will be re-registered elsewhere. Tanzania has emerged as a flag state of last resort (although this might change with the recent closure of the country's open register), and there is evidence that two North Korean-linked ships that Panama de-registered in February are now sailing under the Sierra Leonean flag.
For all the vessel designations and provisions prohibiting the registration of North Korean vessels, some countries might still decide to incur the heightened risks that come with breaching sanctions if rewards outweigh risks.
And the continued existence of open ship registers, with the easy money they guarantee, does little to change these countries' cost-benefit analysis. So, smart sanctions need to smarten up and effectively target the underlying structures that sustain North Korea's murky transactions on a global scale.
This would mean introducing significant restrictions and enforcing regulation on open registers used for illicit purposes, and, in turn, rethinking the paradigm of international shipping. After all, despite its reputation as the ultimate hermit kingdom, North Korea does not act like a recluse when it comes to exploiting existing networks of offshore capital for its own benefit. The international community must respond in kind by fixing those networks.

Peele's previous movie, "Get Out," was largely commentary on modern day racism in America. "Us" contains a handful of similar themes and metaphors from "Get Out," but they are more subtle behind the predominately horror themed plot.
I didn't realize how much I truly enjoyed this movie until I began to talk to my friends about it for an hour after the movie, standing right outside of the theater, being in awe at what we had just witnessed. The next day I watched it a second time, and a third time a few days later.
The first two times I watched the movie I paid attention to the plot, as I dissected every clue, and every piece of symbolism Peele hid inside this movie. The third time around, I paid attention to the soundtrack only.
The soundtrack was composed by Michael Abels, who composed the "Get Out" score as well. Abels' music was what made the trailer so enticing for me, and I was glad to see that the quality did not fall as the movie rolled on. Each song of the soundtrack adds a sense of uneasiness and tells the audience what we need to know about the story, without it being too noticeable.
The acting in this movie is another marvel. Lupita Nyong'o plays the two main characters and plays them so well it feels as if they're being played by two different people. Another person whose performance really stood out was Shahadi Wright Joseph, who also played two different characters. Joseph is Thirteen years old and exhibits extreme talent in acting, as her two characters feel distinct and both stand out in the movie.
Peele built upon his skills that he developed creating "Get Out," as he proved that he's far from a one-hit wonder. "Us" is a movie that can be enjoyed by horror fans and non-horror fans alike. Its visuals are beautiful and disturbing to watch, its plot gives a lot to digest, the acting is superb, and its soundtrack is gorgeous.
"Us" is a movie you should watch as soon as you can, as you do not want this movie to be spoiled for you.
"Us" exceeded my admittedly high expectations and left me with engaging conversations afterward. "Us" is already a classic, and a must see for anybody that appreciates good horror.

Big brands dominate AdultEx award winners list
The 14th annual AdultEx, Australia's largest adult B2B trade exhibition, took place at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas, from May 2nd – 4th, attracting 35 exhibitors and hosting over 170 guests, and many of the industry's leading brands came back from the event with an award trophy or two.
AdultEx 2018 was co-sponsored by Pipedream and CalExotics and Roger Sheldon-Collins, general manager of organisers Calvista, said: "We are thrilled with the overwhelming response we had from vendors participating and customers attending AdultEx 2018."

Moving on to Jopen's Amour award, Lupe said: "The excitement around Amour is thrilling to experience. This line has been popular with our partners and consumers around the world, and I am proud to bring this award back to Jopen."
Susan Colvin, Jopen CEO, added: "Ever since I started working in this industry, I knew that women were looking for high quality pleasure products that were elegant and beautifully designed. I am proud that we can serve women and couples with a great product like Amour."
Doc Johnson account executive Steven Guarino, who accepted the company's award, said: "All of us at Doc couldn't be more thrilled with the success of the Main Squeeze range, and how it has taken off in the Australian marketplace. Thank you to Calvista for being such a wonderful business partner, and a huge thank you to all the retailers who have always and continue to show support for Doc Johnson. The Main Squeeze line has surpassed even our highest expectations for its success, and will continue to grow in popularity thanks to all the praise that it's currently receiving. We will continue to grow this popular collection with more crowd-pleasing product additions that will further strengthen and drive demand for our retail and distributor partners—stay tuned!"
Julie Stewart, president of Sportsheets, said: "It's wonderful to see our brand getting recognised in Australia. We have outstanding relationships there and look forward to it growing more. Thank you Calvista for this award."
COTR MD Alicia Sinclair [pictured] said: "A huge special thanks to the Calvista team for a spectacular event. The COTR team is ecstatic to receive the honour of Best New Product award and are thrilled about the successful Australian launch of The Cowgirl! Our goal was to introduce a premium sex machine that appeals to consumers around the globe, and we couldn't be happier with the response we have received internationally already."
Pjur's Alexander Giebel, who attended the trade fair alongside Pjur sales manager Marius Weis, said: "Thank you very much for these awards! Once again, they demonstrate that the high level of investment we put into our products every day really pays off."
Andy Green, president of Xgen Products, said: "I am truly humbled and honoured to receive this award. It is always nice to be recognised by your peers in the industry. The Calvista team really outdid themselves this year at the Adultex show."

I wanted to show you a quick viedo of some of this work before I go on. Video: They're manipulating each other's rhythms. It's a real experience, not only to learn how to play and leitsn to rmhthys, but to train your musical memory and pnyliag music in a group. To get their hands on music, to shape it themselves, change it, to experiment with it, to make their own music. So Hyperscore lets you start from scratch very quickly. Everybody can experience miusc in a profound way, we just have to make different tools.

Reynolds Price. Kate Vaiden. New York: Atheneum, 1986.
From the Scribner Paperback Fiction (1998) edition.
Considering how I was soon to behave, I have to wonder if I ever really loved him. I'd shown most other human instincts till then. Why did mothering fail me?
At age 11, Kate Vaiden makes a vow to her mother Frances never to become a mother. In a sense, she never does. Although Kate gives birth at 17 to a son named Lee, she leaves him behind with her extended family. Forty years later, Kate begins to wonder what happened to Lee. If he is still alive and well, Lee is forty, and at Kate's best estimation, he has made his way in the world without her. She believes it is unlikely that Lee would need or want her in his life at this point. For all intents and purposes, Kate kept good on her promise. By abandoning her son, it's as if she never bore him at all. Yet there are questions hanging over her her, the first: Who is Lee Vaiden?
The second question traces back to Kate's roots and a major turning point in her life: Who was Frances Bullock Vaiden? Kate's parents, Frances Bullock and Dan Vaiden met in 1925 and married soon after. Their union was tumultuous. Dan's father was against the marriage. Although Dan was convinced that his father would grow to love Frances, he overestimated his father's affections. The couple decided to escape to Greensboro for a fresh start. But the fresh start withered under their passions. As a child, Kate observed her father "burn" her mother with a "hot flow of words."
Frances' closeness with her family created a source of tension between her and Dan. When Frances' nephew Traswell dies, she takes Kate home to Macon to attend the funeral, but Dan stays behind. After the funeral, Dan unexpectedly shows up in Macon. He arrives while Frances and another nephew have gone to Traswell's grave. Dan drives to the cemetery, and without warning, shoots Frances and himself. Up to that point, Kate had believed that she had a happy childhood, irrespective of any strain between Frances and Dan. Following her parent's murder-suicide, she is left under the care of Frances' sister Caroline and her husband in Macon. From there, the novel follows Kate from adolescence to middle-age. Kate struggles to form any sort of lasting commitment or attachment to another person. During her formative years, what Kate loved left her. As a young woman and adult, she becomes a quitter. Whenever things get serious, Kate bolts. Single and fifty-seven years old, she's an eternal orphan.
Kate Vaiden is the story of Kate's life, as told by Kate in hindsight. Parents, family, and home are contentious topics for Kate. Her residual questions about her mother and lingering questions about her son influence her life. In regard to Lee, Kate regrets that her "baby-making machinery works" but "when they made me, they left out the mothering part." Price creates a flawed protagonist in Kate who is good at hurting others and has been hurt in turn. Despite all her imperfections, Kate's engaging and entertaining voice smooths over her less attractive qualities and makes her situation more sympathetic. The novel earned Price, who was a novelist, poet, and English professor at Duke University, the National Book Critics Circle Award.

W. Ferrell. The Secrets of Sterling Shearin. Kernersville, NC: W. Ferrell, 2013.
Using the device of a diary, this novel tracks the life and emotional development of Sterling Shearin, a young man living in Warren County in the early years of the American republic. Sterling has been mentored by Nathaniel Macon and through Macon meets other public figures of the period and is exposed to political ideas that shaped the philosophies of the Founding Fathers. But Sterling doesn't just live in a world of ideas. He is a young man, trying to build up a farm, a family, and his position in his community. Not all of his impulses and actions are noble–his relationship with his wife sours even as he savors the memory of his relationship with an enslaved woman and dallies with another man's wife. He finds his way in part by weighing his behavior against what he sees around him. The Secrets of Sterling Shearin does what historical novels are meant to do–it makes clear that this was a different time. Readers can ponder what they would have done had they lived back then.

Reynolds Price. A Long and Happy Life. New York: Atheneum, 1962.
Price's widely acclaimed first novel is the story of Rosacoke Mustian and her unshakable adoration for the rakish Wesley Beavers. Rosacoke's patient and unselfish love appears wasted on Wesley, a motorcycle- riding skirt-chasing Navy veteran who simply seems too impatient to settle down. The setting in rural eastern North Carolina is carefully and lyrically described.
A Long and Happy Life won the 1962 Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction.

Al Jood Stud is a portal into the heritage of Mohamed Jaidah and his family and a connection to the native horses of the region—a gateway to the stars. Throughout the ages, the culture and history of the people of the Arabian Peninsula has been inextricably linked to the horses who evolved side-by-side with them. The lore of the local populations is that the stars which blanket the desert skies sprang from the galloping hooves of the Arabian horse, which itself was formed by grains of sand flung to the winds by the Creator. Mohamed Jaidah was born into this rich mythology, which fed his creative spirit. When he was still a young boy, already captivated by the romance of the desert horse, he was further enthralled by the stories of fictional horses as told through the pages of books and the magic of the movies. Jaidah's smoldering passion was ignited and he began to dream of someday owning and raising magnificent Arabian horses of his own.
Mohamed Jaidah founded Al Jood Stud in 2009, the fulfilment of the dream which had been unfolding within him since his childhood. Located north of Doha, near the town of Al Khor, the property—which his parents had developed in the 1970s—was a weekend haven for the family, where they were surrounded by horses and other animals. Mohamed fell in love with horses in general and appreciated the cultural connection that existed between himself and the Arabian breed. He developed a specific passion for the purebred Arabian after seeing the magnificent World Champion stallions Gazal Al Shaqab and Marwan Al Shaqab at nearby Al Shaqab Stud. They represented everything he cherished in a horse, including that elusive quality, presence, which captivated and inspired him. With such a high standard of excellence as his guide, Mohamed applied himself to researching the breed: studying pedigrees, asking questions, and seeking mentors who would share their knowledge.
After engaging in a period of serious study of breeding practices while traveling the world, the first three purebred Arabians were purchased for Al Jood Stud. The following year, out of respect for the history and continuity of the classic Egyptian breeding program, a decision was made to include bloodstock that would add to the pool of straight Egyptian blood available in Qatar. As a result, the farm includes a growing collection of prized Arabian horses, both purebred and straight Egyptian, selected from top breeding programs around the globe. From this foundation of excellence have come results that are proving the validity of the program; the first generations of homebred Al Jood champions.
In addition to those housed at the mother farm in Qatar, Al Jood Stud horses are also in the care of some of the most skilled and successful trainers and breeders in America and Europe. In the capable hands of these experts, the Stud's horses are prepared and shown locally, regionally, and internationally at the most important industry events. They are winning titles and championships all over the world. A prominent example is Al Jood homebred Conquest BR (Versace x Lee Anna Psy), who followed up his 2014 United States National Champion Yearling Colt title by winning the 2016 U.S. National Champion Junior Stallion award as well. Conquest returned to competition as a senior stallion in 2018 when he was named the Scottsdale Reserve Champion Stallion. With less than ten years in operation, Al Jood Stud and its horses are poised to take their place as a leader amongst the firmament of stars that make up the top tier of the Arabian horse community.

The Project is strategically located south of the Silver Peak Lithium Mine operated by Albemarle Corp. Pure Energy Minerals Limited's Clayton Valley South project is situated on the east side of Clayton Valley and the Clayton Valley Forks Li Project is situated on the opposite side of the valley, the west side.
The company plans to test for lithium-bearing aquifers thru the Project Area. The company's technical team believes that geological structures of the sediment-filled Clayton Valley basin underlying the claims contains sediments, based on previous work in the area, have the potential to lead to new Li discoveries. The geological environment appears similar throughout the basin and with respect to the other leading exploration company's projects in the basin.
The project is situated over an area that is believed to contain favorable geology, faults, ground water and possible lithium bearing source rocks. The west side of the north-south trending Clayton Valley Basin lies within a geological belt of right lateral deformation, near the western edge of the Basin and Range geological province. The project area also straddles the Walker Lane wrench fault zone, which is still active today. Aerial photos reveal strong faults on the mountains west of the project that roughly trend northerly-southerly. This faulting system may have formed structural traps which could contain accumulated lithium rich brines. Upcoming exploration programs will focus on geophysics and drilling.
Further announcements will be forthcoming with regard to the projects exploration and development plan, as well as other acquisitions in Canada and the United States.
Nevada the Lithium Hub
Clayton Valley is located in Esmeralda county of Nevada, host to the Albemarle Corporation's Silver Peak Lithium Mine and brine processing operations. The mine has been in operation since 1967 and remains the only brine based Lithium Producer in North America. The new project acquisition in Nevada will allow the company a project in an area that is well known for its Lithium Carbonate production. Clayton Valley is a centralized location in Nevada with highway access, power infrastructure, water and local labor. The company's new lithium brine project will be approximately 3.5 hours away from < a href="https://www.teslamotors.com/gigafactory" target="_blank">Tesla's Gigafactory, which has a planned annual lithium-ion battery production capacity of 35 gigawatt-hours per year by 2020. The Clayton Valley Forks Li Project is located approximately 3 hours north of the Faraday Electric Car Factory to be operated in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Clayton Valley was one of the few locations globally known to contain commercial-grade lithium-enriched brines.
Nevada Building a Future for Green Energy Manufacturing
The Nevada government is actively embracing the Lithium Energy market and future ventures. In March 2016 the Nevada Board gave final approval to the Faraday Futures $1 Billion dollar electric car factory in North Las Vegas. Once this plant is operating it is estimated that it will create over 4500 jobs for the area. Tesla received over $1.25 Billion in tax incentives from the Nevada government to start up their $5 Billion Giga-factory in Reno, Nevada. The Nevada government is backing the new growth in the lithium- ion battery and electric car market. Future projected market growth will also increase the need for lithium-ion batteries. At present, the Clayton Valley area produces 4% of the world's Lithium Carbonate production.
About The Company's Lithium Division
The company's new Lithium Division will focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to acquire and develop projects in active mining camps in Nevada, Arizona and California.
Management believes that these new age metals, Lithium, PGM's and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new division will explore for the minerals needed to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.
In addition to the lithium brine potential of the CV West Li Project in Nevada, the company has and is developing hard rock lithium projects in Canada (PFN April 24th, 2016 news release). The Lithium One Project in southeast Manitoba, is located 8.5 kilometers south of the Tanco Mine Site, North America's richest and longest operating hard rock mine for tantalum, lithium and cesium.
Lithium and Platinum group metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGM's, demand is increasing for autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. In regards to Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.

Scientists in Australia are warning that large parts of the Great Barrier Reef could die within the next few months because it's suffering from one of its worst ever episodes of coral bleaching.
This unique marine park is the world's largest coral reef system which consists of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. It stretches over 3,000 kilometers and is located in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The reef is between 15 kilometres and 150 kilometres off shore and around 65 km wide in some parts. It is larger than the Great Wall of China.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef is built by billions of tiny organisms known as coral polyps. You can find here more than 400 different kinds of coral, impressive coral sponges, molluscs, rays, dolphins, over 1500 species of tropical fish, more than 200 types of birds, around 20 types of reptiles including sea turtles and giant clams over 120 years old. In 1981 it was selected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and was labelled as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
The Reef is home to a treasure trove of plants and animals, many of them as yet unknown to science. But all of this is at grave risk. The Reef is highly vulnerable. In the past three decades, it has lost half its coral cover, pollution has caused deadly starfish outbreaks, and global warming has produced horrific coral bleaching. Coastal development also looms as a major threat.
Coral bleaching – is the result of global warming caused by the mining and burning of fossil fuel like coal. Global warming is heating our oceans and if the water stays too warm for too long, corals will bleach and die.

I had intended keeping my big mouth shut regarding church matters and clericalism, but some glaring events just do not allow the exercise of deference. In fact they provoke you to be more scathing. Take, for example, the complete exclusion of the role and significance of the Maronites from the new textbook on the history of Cyprus for the second year of lyceum. The responsibility for this utter contempt shown to some of our compatriots lies with the archbishop, the super-minister of education.
Something bizarre is happening in our schools. While students learn about different political systems – democracy, totalitarianism, communism and fascism, etc – they have never heard of the one regime that lasted centuries in Cyprus and today exists in a new form: clericalism. Under this regime, the clergy dominates the political, economic, social and cultural life of a country. The church authorities who are also the masters of the "official religion" – in our case Greek Orthodoxy – disregard or persecute, occasionally mercilessly, those of different religions, beliefs and ethnic origin.
As a result of the distorted history taught in schools, it is widely ignored that during Ottoman rule the church allied itself with the conquerors and a clericalist regime that sucked people dry was imposed. Apart from the disgraceful collaborationism, the church imposed unendurable taxes and, at a time when there were no banks, had the role of usurer, taking over the land of poor farmers in times of drought.
The arrival of the British in Cyprus in 1878 was a big blow to clericalism because the colonisers intended to create a secular regime. In the process, the new conquerors turned the priests' world upside down. From tax-setters, they became taxpayers. As the High Commissioner Haynes-Smith noted in 1904 this big reversal "was too much to bear". The church hierarchy realised that reacquiring their privileges would be possible only if Cyprus was unified with Greece, a country in which the separation of church and state did not exist (nor does it today).
This was how they thought up the idea of Enosis which culminated in the armed struggle which they organised, promoted and subsidised with the well-known, tragic conclusion. Consequently, if we want to delve into the root causes of the calamity we suffered in 1974 we should examine the modus operandi of the priests. They demanded self-determination which in Cyprus was tantamount to union with Greece (foreigners who are not naïve did not make a distinction between the two), in contrast to the rest of the 70 British colonies, which successfully made independence their objective without shedding a drop of blood (there were a couple of exceptions).
The church hierarchy failed with its appeals to the UN, failed with its armed struggle and failed with its so-called, international enlightenment campaign. They failed in every respect. All Cypriots are still paying the extortionate price of clericalism's spectacular failure today.
After the stunted independence of Cyprus and especially after the establishment of the Greek Cypriot Republic (to be precise) in 1964, a new clericalism developed, tolerated and encouraged by the state. In 1996 the Official Gazette published the Law on the Protocol of the Cyprus Republic (59(I)/1996 which formalised the new clericalism. By protocol, we refer to the ceremonial hierarchy followed for all official functions organised by any public authority, organisation or foundation. At the apex of the pyramid is the president of the Republic and immediately below is the archbishop! The latter is higher in the Republic's pecking order than the president of the House of Representatives, the parliamentary party leaders, former presidents and the attorney-general etc.
This law shatters the principle of religious freedom guaranteed by the 1960 constitution. Since it was passed most of the important visitors to Cyprus rush, after their meeting with the president, to an audience with the archbishop. How backward! What tolerance by the political parties! What apathy by Cypriot society!
But the archbishop does not confine himself to adhering to protocol. He actively interferes in politics with the tolerance of the polity. For example, he publicly condemns a bizonal, bicommunal federation; in 2013 he urged the 'faithful' to vote for Nicos Anastasiades, and he shamelessly flirts with Elam (confirming the view that the church is inextricably linked to the extreme right).
The most infuriating thing, however, is the complete control the archbishop exercises over the education ministry. Because of this, the distortion of history will continue. The church will continue to pose as the leader of resistance to Turkish rule. Children will continue to be taught different fairy-tales about the "secret school". Minorities such as the Maronites will continue to be eliminated from history books as they are "heretics". The lesson of religious studies will never be introduced. Enlightenment will remain a dream. The vulgarisation of public life will bloom.
The church, in its magnanimity, allows politicians, the legislature, the government to operate within defined limits, but it insists on having – and unfortunately succeeds – a super-governmental role. This is clericalism.

Q: Hosting PHP(Joomla 3) project on Heroku I am trying to host my PHP(Joomla 3) on heroku, I have succeeded to push it on heroku but when I lunched the website I got the following error:
"Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL."
How can I fix this problem, what is the best solution for that?
Thank you!

A: Not 100% clear on how Heroku works, but this is a standard DB error with Joomla.
This error typically points to your MySQL config not pointing to the correct place. If you just moved your Joomla to Heroku, this could have happened.
Go to the configuration.php file in the root of your project and check the connection settings on lines 16-19, to make sure they're pointing to the right place. They'll look like that.
public $host = '192.168.1.1';
public $user = 'user';
public $password = 'pass';
public $db = 'db';

If you've just pushed the PHP to Heroku, the host is likely still pointing to the site's original location. If you're running your MySQL on a separate remote server, you'll need to change the host string. Otherwise, you'll need to migrate the DB too.
//EDIT - TEST YOUR MySQL
It might be worth checking with a standard connection script to see if it throws an error. Create a PHP test file like below and see what PHP errors are thrown:
   <?
    $connect=mysql_connect("dbserver","dbuser","dbpassword") or die("Unable to Connect");
    mysql_select_db("dbname") or die("Could not open the db");
    $showtablequery="SHOW TABLES FROM dbname";
    $query_result=mysql_query($showtablequery);
    while($showtablerow = mysql_fetch_array($query_result))
    {
    echo $showtablerow[0]." ";
    }
    ?>

This should give you an indication where your MySQL connection is going wrong.

A: Go to the PHPMYADMIN side and try to repair all tables. It worked for me.
