Local Byron Bay business Sienna Byron Bay hits the nail on the head with cruelty-free nail polish.
We open on a scene outdoors showing a close-up of a leafy tree.
Cut to inside a funky clothing and gift store. Two relaxed and well-groomed women - Chelsea Thomas from bargain hunting blog I Heart Bargains and Danielle Egan owner of Sienna Byron Bay nail polish - sit on chairs next to each other, facing the camera.
A display of different coloured nail polish sits on the table behind them.

Cut away to footage of a sunny beach scene featuring surfers and palm trees.
Cut away to footage of a lighthouse on a cliff.
Close up of Danielle holding a nail polish bottle, pointing out its wooden cap.
Cut away to footage of lush, green Byron Bay hills.
"You obviously have to post this everywhere."
Some cut away footage included of Chelsea & Danielle standing at the nail polish display chatting; an Australia Post post box on the street; and a close up of Danielle painting her nails.
"This is a very strong online business. And obviously you also have a shop front as well. How does this little baby get around to everyone in Australia?
We've always used Australia Post. We've just started with our business account - eParcel with Australia Post.
Cut to footage of various scenes of nature around Byron Bay: sunset over the beach, view from a curved road on a hilltop with onlookers overlooking beach, rocky hill overlooking water, and waves crashing against a cliff drop.
Cut back to Chelsea and Danielle seated.
"(laughing) I love that. Now you're doing this (holds up nail polish)".
Final cut away shot of nail polish display.
Danielle Egan arrived in the NSW coastal town of Byron Bay 18 years ago. She bustled into town with a crew of circus goers and very few belongings; a common story for many long-stay Byron locals.
Many people living in the area are attracted to the healthy and alternative lifestyle. There's a big market culture, and a community of talented artisans who create beautiful, handmade wares.
Danielle never ended up leaving Byron Bay. Its natural beauty - beaches and a laid-back lifestyle - holds a special place in her heart. But with the whimsical, dreaminess of the place comes a harsh reality.
"In Byron everyone is looking for the healthy alternatives. They will seek out a sunscreen that has no additives and do their research on where to buy the freshest fruit and veggies," she says.
Danielle knew if she could research the right environmentally-friendly nail polish formula, she'd have a very attractive product to sell to local nail salons. "At least then people had the choice if they wanted it," Danielle says.
It wasn't until September 2014 that Danielle was able to launch Sienna Byron Bay to the public. Her aim was to produce a handmade, luxe, vegan nail polish with no nasties and no animal testing. After years of research, Danielle launched the label with $300 to her name.
Sienna is different to any other Australian-made polish on the market because it's the "cleanest formula and is handmade to ensure top quality coating".
It's obvious Danielle is very precise at getting the product right. Right down to the wood-based lids, which are from wood sourced locally in and around Byron, every little part of Sienna is well thought out.
"We don't sell a turnkey product, which is where you purchase something already made by a manufacturer and put your brand name on it. Instead, we work with 30+ suppliers. We're a resilient bunch and when we put our heads together, it's amazing how quickly things can happen," says Danielle.
Danielle has come to realise that sales for luxe, vegan nail polish aren't exclusive to the people of Byron Bay, even though it's where the concept originated.
Ethical and eco-conscious beauty, made in Byron Bay. Choose from over 70 gorgeous colours.
Sienna isn't just nail polish anymore, either. The brand offers acetone free nail polish remover and glass nail files (that can be reused over and over).
Australia Post helps to service Sienna's online shopping audience. She also has stockists all over the country but online is a major part of Danielle's business. Her Instagram following sits just over 25,000 and provides daily updates to fans about new colours and nail trends.

The ending cutscene for Classified has been found but there is only one of two leaked cutscenes that we know are in Classified, with the second featuring Primis Nikolai Still undiscovered! Drop A Follow - https://twitter.com/CODZombies_HQ The Easter Egg Ending Cutscene for Classified can be gotten by reaching Round 150 in the map, showing the Ultimis and Primis crews meeting up for the first time inside the Secret Cutscene Room within Hanger 4. This cutscene, while excellent doesn't seem to be the only cinematic that is in the map as the audio of a second cutscene was found in the files. In this audio Primis Nikolai speaks similar to how he did in the "Nikolai Memories Trailer" for Black Ops 3. But this is a different version of Nikolai, one in which he has broken the cycle and is not on a quest to save the kids like Primis was in Black Ops 3. Here , in this cutscene, Nikolai takes charge of Primis, stating that he will act as its "Guiding Hand" in the great battle with Dr. Monty to come in the rest of the Black Ops 4 Zombies DLC Season. The community originally thought that to get the cutscene to play you had to reach Round 255, but that was proven to not be the case. However it is possible that they misinterpreted which of the two cutscenes will play when, with the ending cutscene triggering at Round 150 and the Primis Nikolai Cinematic triggering at round 255. However, at this time no one has reached Round 255 to try and prove it that is not you unlock the secret Second Ending Cutscene for Classified!

Who Qualifies for a Small Business Loan?
by Kenny Brown
Your company may qualify for small business loan.

1 Requirements for a Small Business Loan
2 Signs of a Bad Franchise
3 Apply for a Small Business Administration Business Loan
4 What Are Covenants in Accounting?
Qualifying for a small business loan depends on many factors. If a business can prove to a lender it has a good plan and solid finances, it increases its chance of being eligible for a loan. Small businesses with the right documentation qualify for a variety of commercial loan options, including programs run by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which offer eligible small businesses federally backed loans from participating lenders.
Lenders need to feel confident in a company's business plan. Disclosure of a full business plan is necessary in all loan programs. Further, a business must give a reason for the loan and show how the money will be used. Often lenders ask what specific assets need to be purchased and who will supply said items. Entrepreneur states that you should seek credit only for the intentions disclosed in your business plan and repay it according to the proposed schedule.
A business must be financially stable in the eyes of a lender. To offer proof, a business must submit its credit history, financial statements and income tax returns. Lenders sometimes use both personal credit and income tax information. Business.gov notes that it is important to get a credit history from all three credit bureaus. Any credit downfalls or mistakes should be cleared up before applying. A financial statement should contain a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow, plus current accounts receivable and payable statements. Additionally, a business needs to disclose its creditors and any debt. If someone has more than a 20 percent stake in the company, a personal financial statement might be necessary.
Not all loan programs require collateral. The higher the loan risk, the more likely it is that a lender will require collateral. A solid financial statement and business plan can often substitute for collateral, states Business.gov. If asked for collateral, a business needs to prove the value of its personal and business property that it might provide as collateral.
Legal documents are a necessary part of the application. In its documentation, a business must include business licenses, articles of incorporation, contracts with third parties, franchise agreements and commercial leases.
SBA Loan Eligibility
The U.S. Small Business Administration offers programs that link qualified small businesses with lenders. The SBA itself does not lend, but it does back the loans. To qualify for an SBA loan, a business must meet certain size standards, which vary by industry. Franchisees may also qualify for SBA loans, but their franchise system must meet the requirements, which limit the amount of corporate involvement.

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July holiday! We've gone to the same place to see fireworks for the past 10 years or so, and we thought we'd have to cancel this year because we've had nothing but RAIN for the last 7 days. But for a few short (and chilly) hours, the skies were clear, the breeze was bountiful, and once again we celebrated the birth of our great nation.
As you may know, one of my sons is serving in the Air Force overseas, and my son was even able to spend the holiday with family…. in Paris! His aunt and cousin were there for a few days and he drove from his base to meet them for the weekend. They even took pictures to prove it and I just can't get enough of them 😉 Because he's so far away, I'm part of a mom's group on Facebook for parents of Air Force servicemen & women. We lift each and encourage one another, and share our fears and joys, and information when we can. As you can imagine, on the 4th, we were all posting our pride for our country and family members on the Facebook group. One mom re-posted her son's Independence Day greetings to his friends and family yesterday, and I got permission from her to share them with you. It just makes my heart so glad to know that there are young people all across the world who love our country and are willing, like our founding fathers, to defend the this nation at all costs.
I recently had some grilled edamame in a salad, and now I'm going to have make it a.s.a.p.
The myth of bad gluten?
I don't knit, but if I did… well, these are so cute!
Build an air conditioner in under 15 minutes!
I'm infusing some of our honey with lavender, so this recipe is something I'll be making soon!
Greek yogurt whipped cream!!! I can die happy.
Are you loading the dishwasher wrong?

← EMMA (2020) – My rating: 7/10
MIDNIGHT SKY (2020) – My rating: 8.7/10 →
MULAN (2020) – My rating: 7.5/10
Mulan is a fantasy adventure drama produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Niki Caro, with a screenplay by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek, and Elizabeth Martin. It is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1998 animated film of the same name, which was based on the Chinese folklore story, "The Ballad of Mulan". Mulan is about a female who has to disguise herself as a male warrior to stand in for her ailing father. I anticipated this movie with hopes it would be a spectacular story of Avatar-like quality with brilliant special effects. I guess "One out of two ain't bad".
In Imperial China, Hua Mulan (Yifei Liu) is an adventurous and active girl, to the disappointment of her parents Hua Zhou (Tzi Ma) and Hua Li (Rosalind Chao), who hope that one day she will be wed to a good husband. As a young woman, Mulan is scheduled to meet with a matchmaker (Cheng Pei-pei) to demonstrate her fitness as a future wife. Mulan is flustered as she attempts to pour tea in front of the matchmaker. Just then, a spider scares her younger sister Hua Xiu (Xana Tang), who suffers from arachnophobia, and accidentally causes Mulan to drop and destroy the teapot. The matchmaker in turn calls Mulan a disgrace in front of her family.
Meanwhile to the north, an imperial outpost is invaded by Rouran warriors, under the leadership of Böri Khan (Jason Scott Lee). They are assisted by the witch Xian Lang (Gong Li), who uses her magic to pose as a surviving soldier. She then reports the attack to the Emperor of China (Jet Li), who issues a conscription decree ordering every family to contribute one man to the Imperial Army to help fight Khan's forces. Shortly thereafter, Imperial soldiers arrive in Mulan's village to enlist recruits. Zhou is forced to pledge his service as he has no sons but immediately falls over in front of the soldiers, due to his bad leg. Realizing that her father has no chance of survival, Mulan flees with his armor, horse, and sword to join the army in her father's place. She arrives at the training camp, which is run by Commander Tung (Donnie Yen), an old comrade of Zhou. Alongside dozens of other inexperienced recruits and under Commander Tung's tutelage, Mulan ultimately becomes a trained soldier while posing as a man to keep from exposing her true identity and to save her father's life.
Despite a lot of bad publicity about a White director vs. an Asian director, I thought Mulan was a decent movie. The special effects were especially good while the plot lacked content. I didn't think Disney showed enough interaction between Mulan and her family or friends. A definite loner, Mulan seemed to be somewhat disconnected from reality. I don't think having to take on a male figure was a far stretch for her. The story is interesting as we watch Mulan hide her identity from the rest of the Army. Being that Mulan is a classic, most of us know the story, which doesn't change. Between the special effects and the mystery behind her secret identity, Mulan is interesting and entertaining. It's been reported that a Mulan sequel is in development with Chris Bender, Jason T. Reed, and Jake Weiner returning as producers. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 73% of 305 critic reviews were positive, with an average rating of 6.70/10. The site's critical consensus read, "It could have told its classic story with greater depth, but the live-action Mulan is a visual marvel that serves as a stirring update to its animated predecessor." Mulan is currently streaming on Disney + — Check It Out!
[MULAN is Oscar-nominated at the 93rd Academy Awards for Best: Visual Effects as well as Costume Design — Totaling 2 Nominations]
The following list better defines the Characters:
Yifei Liu as Mulan, the eldest daughter of Hua Zhou, who defies both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man by the name of "Hua Jun", in order to enlist herself in the Imperial Army in place of her ailing father.
Crystal Rao – young Mulan.
Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, the high-ranking leader of the Imperial Army and mentor to Mulan. Both Tung and Chen are based on Li Shang from the animated film.
Gong Li as Xian Lang, a powerful witch with shapeshifting abilities and an ally of Böri Khan.
Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan, a Rouran warrior-leader intent on avenging his father's death. Khan is based on Shan Yu from the animated film.
Yoson An as Chen Honghui, a confident and ambitious recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit, and becomes Mulan's ally and love interest. Both Chen and Tung are based on Li Shang from the animated film.
Jet Li as The Emperor of China, a wise benevolent ruler, who orders the mobilization of troops via the conscription of one man from each household, to fight the invading Rouran army.
Tzi Ma as Hua Zhou, Mulan's father and a famed war veteran, who is now recalled to the Imperial Army despite his bad leg.
Rosalind Chao as Hua Li, Mulan's mother, and Zhou's wife.
Xana Tang as Hua Xiu, Mulan's younger sister, who suffers from arachnophobia. The character was created for the film's plot because the filmmakers felt that "this added a broader emotional context and added more motivation for [Mulan's] character."
Elena Askin as young Xiu.
Ron Yuan as Sergeant Qiang, the fiercely loyal second in command of the Imperial Regiment.
Jun Yu as Cricket, a hapless recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit. Cricket is based on Cri-Kee, a cricket from the animated film.
Jimmy Wong as Ling, a recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit.
Chen Tang as Yao, a gruff recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit.
Doua Moua as Chien-Po, a chubby recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit.
Nelson Lee as The Chancellor, a member of the Emperor's council in charge of conscripting new recruits to join the Imperial army. The Chancellor is based on Chi-Fu from the animated film.
Cheng Pei-pei as the Matchmaker
Arka Das as Red Fez, who is possessed by Xianniang to enter a palace which she and Böri Khan conquer

Two of the most interesting Oscars for cinephiles around the world are the Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography Oscars. Film Editing dictates the flow of a film and how its story is told. Cinematography are the images that stay with you for a lifetime. If either aspect is poor within a film, it ultimately fails. The Academy has done a great job of recognizing some of the standout works from this year and now it is time to see if the guilds, critics and various factors from this season will be able to help us predict the winners in both categories.
Click below for my in-depth analysis.
If you would have asked me early on in the season which film was going to walk away with Best Film Editing I would have told you "La La Land." Truth be told, I still say "La La Land." But the ACE and the BAFTA awards went to two different films and as a result we must go back in the history of the Critics Choice, the ACE and the BAFTA awards to find if there is any trends that will dictate a surprise winner in this category.
Ever since the Critics Choice Awards have been around, they have helped us on two occasions to predict the Oscar winner when different winners emerged at the ACE & the BAFTA which has ultimately happened this year. In 2013 when the ACE went with "Captain Phillips" & "American Hustle," the BAFTA went with "Rush" but the Oscar went to "Gravity" which had won the Critics Choice Award. The same thing happened in 2011 when "The Descendants" & "The Artist" won the ACE, BAFTA went to "Senna" and the Oscars aligned with the Critics Choice and went with "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." This year the Critics Choice went with "La La Land" and so did the ACE. ACE also chose "Arrival" which had it won BAFTA would be more of a threat. However, the BAFTA surprisingly went to "Hacksaw Ridge."
It would appear that "La La Land" is certainly the frontrunner here from a consensus standpoint, winning the majority of critics groups in its lead up to the Oscars and winning the Critics Choice and ACE. It's almost baffling that it did not win the BAFTA. However, as long as the ACE has existed, the BAFTA's have matched with the Oscars 16 times in 48 years, while the ACE have matched 22 times before expanding their award to include both Drama and Comedy/Musical winners and another 12 times after that. It also deserves to be mentioned that the Critics Choice have not had the best record in this category, only matching 3 times in 7 years but two of those times turned out to be the deciding factor in a BAFTA/ACE split (As stated above), where "Mad Max: Fury Road" swept the season. We have not had a situation yet where a film that won the Critics Choice and the ACE went on to win the Oscar after losing BAFTA, so if "La La Land" wins here it will be the first film to do so.
I ultimately think the combination of the ACE win, Critics Choice win and of course being the Best Picture frontrunner (Which usually helps considering 21 of the Best Picture winners in the last 48 years also won Best Film Editing), will give "La La Land" the edge here. BAFTA has historically the worse track record between itself and the ACE, so if there is to be an upset (Mind you, "La La Land" would be only the second ACE Winner in the Comedy/Musical category to win the Best Film Editing Oscar after "Chicago" and only the third musical film in 48 years to win this award), then I expect it will be "Arrival." The San Francisco Film Critics Circle, which has been its only other win all season, has chosen "Argo," "Gravity," "Boyhood" & "Mad Max: Fury Road" as their winners for Best Film Editing. It's a small group of winners, but three of the four went on to win the Oscar. It could be tighter than we think considering how much "Arrival" was praised for its story structure. Food for thought.
Best Cinematography has been all over the place this season with "La La Land" trading wins with "Moonlight." The Best Picture frontrunner finally took the lead later in the season and looks poised to win this category. But are we once again heading for yet another upset in the craft categories for this film?
In taking a look at each film's awards throughout the season, this is how it breaks down so far.
With this in mind, I think we can take "Silence" out. As respected as its photography by Rodrigo prieto is, the momentum for that film is completely gone and it remains the film's sole nomination. "Arrival" has only won one award all season from the Seattle Film Critics. They have handed out the cinematography award 7 times and of those times the only crossover was twice for Emmanuel Lubezki for "Gravity" and "Birdman" which were sweeper wins all season long, so "Arrival" is out.
That leaves it down to "La La Land," "Lion" and "Moonlight." The New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics and the National Society of Film Critics all went with "Moonlight" for cinematography. These are the films since 1980 (When The New York Film Critics Circle started handing out the cinematography award) that have won all three from each group.
The history is sketchy here at best with only "Schindler's List" and "The Killing Fields" ever sweeping the critics awards and winning the Oscar. Most of the other films were not nominated and the last two films to accomplish this, lost. So I'm ruling "Moonlight" out (More on that in a moment though). Now it all comes down to "Lion," which won the ASC and "La La Land," which has won the Critics Choice Award and the BAFTA. Let's turn to the Critics Choice, the ASC and the BAFTA awards for answers.
Since the Critics Choice have been giving out this award, they have matched Oscar 6 times in the last 7 years. That is as good as a stat as it should get. But they still have not been around as long. Looking at the BAFTA and ASC wins before 2009, when they go to two different films, 3 times the Oscar went to the ASC winner, 4 times to the BAFTA winner and a whopping 13 times to something else entirely. Could "Moonlight" be that other film? Maybe there is another shocker that we don't see coming at all, similar to what "Hugo" did in 2011 where it did not win a single award all season for its cinematography but managed to pull out a win. BAFTA overall has matched this category with Oscar 14 times in the last 30 years, while the ASC has matched 13 times. I think it's pretty clear that "La La Land" will win this award, but if there is to be an upset I expect it will not be the ASC winner, but instead the film which picked up the NYFCC, NSFC, LAFCA award for cinematography and has equal odds of winning this category as the ASC winner does and that is "Moonlight."


Hello! Our youngest kiddo finished school yesterday and we are just taking it easy for today. I love Summer and the non-rushing aspect of it. I am celebrating the beginning of Summer using these two sets from A Muse Studio's limited edition June collection called Be Yourself and Tropical Blooms.
I used the Be Yourself set to stamp the background rectangle panel. I then embossed the hibiscus from the Tropical Blooms set and watercolored using Tombow brush markers. The square panel was die cut in the center and the hibiscus was adhered onto the stitched circle using 3d tape. I stamped and cut out the sentiment in a banner shape. The sequins were then added for the final touch. I hope you all have an awesome Summer filled with wonderful loving memories of time well spent with friends and family.
So beautiful, great match of stamp and pattern paper!! Thanks for joining in the fun at Die Cut Diva's.
Wonderful design and colors. Beautifully done.
This is such a summery card, almost tropical! Spring Break has just finished in these parts but my daughter has another 7 weeks of school and our Grandson has 6 until the summer holidays.
Beautifully created and so pretty! Thank you for joining us at Chocolate, Coffee & Cards for our 'does' challenge!

Un compostador és un recipient o dipòsit amb les característiques adequades per realitzar la pràctica del compostatge, és a dir, la transformació dels residus orgànics en compost, a nivell domèstic.

Al mercat existeixen nombrosos models de diferents capacitats i formes. Normalment estan fabricats en plàstic, però també n'hi ha de fusta i fins i tot metàl·lics, encara que els de plàstic són els més recomanables, ja que el plàstic no és biodegradable i resisteix millor el pas del temps.

Tipus de compostadors
El compostador "ideal" és aquell que pot deixar-se a la intempèrie sense que es deteriori, fàcilment manipulable i accessible per la seva part superior per dipositar les restes orgàniques, i per la part inferior o el lateral sencer per a l'extracció del producte final, el compost. Per optimitzar el procés de compostatge, ha de garantir un sistema d'aïllament tèrmic amb unes parets dures i resistents, i la suficient ventilació.

Hi ha diversos tipus de compostador, en funció de l'ús i la ubicació:
 Compostador urbà o vermicompostador: és un sistema desenvolupat per reciclar, amb l'ajuda de cucs vermells, restes vegetals de cuina en espais reduïts. Ideal per al compostatge en ciutats. Es pot tenir dins de casa, al balcó o a la terrassa. Sempre a l'ombra.
 Compostador de jardí: dipòsit amb base o sense, que s'instal·la directament sobre la terra, al jardí o a l'hort.

Compostatge domèstic en un compostador

Es pot fer compost fora d'un compostador, com s'ha fet tota la vida als femers, però el més comú és no disposar de tant terreny com necessiten alguns sistemes de compostatge, com ara les piles escampades.

En un compostador, el compost estarà molt més resguardat de les inclemències del temps (sol, pluja, vent) i no es ressecarà ni s'humitejarà massa; per tant, no caldrà prestar-li una atenció ni dedicació especials i, per tot això, el procés serà 3 o 4 vegades més ràpid. A més, no s'haurà de malbaratar aigua per regar-lo quan estigui sec i visualment no causarà cap impacte als membres de la família més primmirats, que no volen veure tants organismes en activitat constant. D'altra banda, el compostador pot instal·lar-se a qualsevol lloc, sense que pugui molestar els veïns.

El procés de descomposició de les restes vegetals dins d'un compostador desprèn una olor característica i agradable que podem percebre quan obrim el compostador per aportar noves restes o remoure. Recorda l'olor que fa el bosc humit. Això es deu a les característiques tècniques dels compostadors de qualitat i a que els milions d'organismes que s'alimenten de les restes que es dipositen en el compostador no permeten que passi gaire temps abans de transformar-les en compost.

Si es barregen les restes de tant en tant—una vegada per setmana—, no apareixeran insectes molestos, com un excés de mosquetes de la fruita, per exemple. De totes maneres, aquests organismes també ajudaran en el procés de compostatge i, en tot cas, la seva presència sempre estarà limitada a l'interior del compostador.

Posat el cas que apareguin formigues, això indicarà que han tingut setmanes per construir el niu perquè no s'ha remenat prou. La solució serà remoure bé les restes.

Els llimacs o altres organismes, que abans es menjaven les plantes, ara les deixaran de banda per anar cap al compostador; per tant, serviran per menjar-se les restes vegetals i no les flors del jardí.

Els animals, com gossos, gats o ratolins, no poden entrar en el compostador, ja que es tracta d'un recipient tancat dissenyat per evitar que hi puguin entrar. Cal, però, instal·lar-lo a nivell de la superfície, sense deixar escletxes.

Understanding other cultures is key to New Zealand making its food attractive to different markets around the world and to boosting our export earnings, according to a top industrial designer.
Instead he says the country needs to take a design-led approach to developing new food products.
While scientists can figure out different ways to develop a product such as isolating a protein which helps yoghurt taste better. He says it is good product design that will help that product be selected by consumers off a supermarket shelf in Singapore when they are faced by a raft of other choices.
Siljee says consumers are impacted by every detail — from how it appears on the shelf to what it feels like to unwrap and taste and smell it.
But Siljee says it's not always easy to nail down what appeals to certain consumers — especially when it comes to other countries. "You cannot make assumptions … You have to know the culture inside out to know what is wrong or right for a brand." In New Zealand Siljee says one brand which has got it right is the home brand concept.
"In conversations with people it is seen as crass, dowdy or nasty but that is part of its success. We want to get it plain and straight and cheap. It is a very clever, deliberate type of branding.

South Africans tight-lipped about taboo subjects
by Benon Oluka | Jun 13, 2012
Just a month after the South African government started releasing inmates due to the presidential pardon two months ago, at least 43 are back in jail.
A report distributed yesterday, June 12, by SAPA quoted the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) saying it was already in custody of a fraction of the former inmates it began releasing in "controllable groups" on May 14.

The government plans to release up to 35,000 inmates this year as part of a special remission announced by President Zuma during Freedom Day celebrations on April 27.
The government said part of the reason for releasing the inmates was to decongest the country's prisons, while other reports said it was to mark Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela winning South Africa's first all-race elections in 1994.
Spotlight on crime
While the DCS did not reveal the number of prisoners released within the first month, the fact that at least 43 of the former inmates have already been re-arrested once casts the spotlight on the crime situation in the country.
Studies on the crime rate in South Africa show it has dropped marginally from a time when the country had the highest per capita rates of murder and rape, the second highest rate of robbery and violent theft and the fourth highest rates of serious assault and sexual offences among the 110 whose crime levels are tracked by Interpol. However, the crime rates remain high.

So numerous are crime incidences even today that criminality seems to have become a part of the daily routine. Today, only the most outrageous of crimes reach the table of national discourse.
Outrage over rape
In April, when a video surfaced of the gang rape of a Soweto teenager, it was widely condemned due to the despicable nature of not just the multiple rapes of the mentally-illvictim, but of the fact that the rapists had the audacity to record and circulate a video of their actions.
The chief executive of Proudly South Africa, Leslie Sedibe, asked a poignant question, "What have we become when children rape children and we as fellow South Africans stand by and watch something so evil, cruel, callous and inhumane? Even watching such a video after the fact is atrocious and abominable."
Yet crime is not the only social issue that the country seems not to have opted to face head-on and eliminate. Several others continue to blight the national conscience but seem to have been swept under the carpet.
Racism clouds debate
Early this year, the Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO) published several posters of semi-naked couples in embrace, with the words beside them reading, "In our future, you wouldn't look twice". The pictures caused a storm merely because they depicted a white and black couple.

With many people not eager to discuss racism, debate on many significant issues in the country is often derailed by claims of racism, as happened when the ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe described "The Spear" art-piece by Brett Murray as racist.
That label forced Murray to defend himself in an affidavit against accusations of racism, galvanised followers of the ANC into demonstrations that were interpreted as a form of bullying, and diverted the national conversation from the issues to a subject few people are really comfortable talking about.
Silence on HIV/AIDS
Similarly, South Africa has failed to curb the spread of the HIV/AIDS virus because of a deep-seated fear to confront the issue and peel off the layers of secrecy enveloping it.
More than five years after the first president of independent South Africa Nelson Mandela first revealed that his son Makgatho died of AIDS, and more than a decade after Judge Edwin Cameron announced his status, the stigma surrounding those who suffer from AIDS remains so high that the family of a famous footballer, Thabang Lebese, initially tried to hide the cause of his death even though he'd wanted it to be known.
By sweeping many of these taboo subjects under the carpet, South Africa is likely to be prolonging public discussion on problems that can only be overcome when the nation confronts them and seeks solutions in the open.


A Pilot's Life by developer Sim Bit World has been updated to version 1.2.3. The update focuses on the 'current contract' page, which generates a neat PDF page whenever you accept a new contract. Furthermore, there is a new feature which will also generate PDF documents of past jobs.
The update has also fixed a bug with X-Plane pilots gaining ratings, modified some airline fleets and routes, as well as adding limits to job applications in a realistic manner.
Now that update 1.2.3 is available for A Pilot's Life, focus will now begin on the 'Shop' page, which is where the hard-earned virtual money can be spent.
You can buy the product via SimMarket for €16.75 (Excl. VAT), and you'll have access to a range of manuals, support areas and of course, the career simulation itself.
Our video producer, Shane (Ausflightsimmer), put together a great little video giving you a first look at Sim Bit World's 'A Pilot's Life'.

MedicAi
A full-circle suite of health-based applications developed in order to enrich people's lives.
We saw a rising need in today's society for quality healthcare via technology. For many people, not only in the state of North Carolina but all over the US and around the world, access to complete medical services is not feasible, and thus we decided to build another path to help them determine their next steps in healthcare. In addition, many of our close friends and family have been drastically impacted by recent events such as Hurricane Florence and the California wildfires, so this is an issue that's close to our hearts.
Medic AI has several functions. The Facebook Messenger Chatbot is intended to help users narrow down potential causes of their symptoms so they can make more informed decisions for their approach to illness or discomfort that they may be experiencing. We also implemented two interactive data visualizations that provide greater insight into the availability of drugs and pharmaceuticals in the United States as well as historical trends on mortality. This is all compiled into an accessible, user-friendly website which includes resources through FEMA that provide more information on health case studies using machine learning.
How we built it
Facebook Messenger Chatbot
We used a Node.js back-end along with a Heroku server to implement our Facebook Messenger Chatbot. The Chatbot uses IBM Watson's NLP libraries to actively process user input and direct the user toward medical information and resources.
All data visualizations were completed in Tableau using public datasets from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). All gradient color schemes and data analysis is fully integrated into Tableau.
Challenges we ran into
In the process of making the chatbot, we ran into several issues with testing. Additionally, we had difficulties connecting to the Facebook server on multiple occasions, and the NGROK library proved challenging for the back-end. We also had problems with configuring and setting up Heroku because we had no prior experience with a cloud server like it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're amazed that we were able to carry out our ambitious plans in our limited time frame, especially with our combined inexperience. We faced many set-backs with the chatbot, so ultimately having a working version was extremely fulfilling.
Coming into this hackathon as a novice team, we had absolutely no experience with anything related to chatbots, and minimal experience with Tableau data visualizations. However, we managed to bridge this gap by working together to solve problems and debugging various issues as a team. Ultimately, we needed to connect all of our separate skill-sets together, and finding that common ground really allowed us to progress. We were also able to experiment with new technologies such as Node.js, Google Firebase, MongoDB, and others.
What's next for MedicAi
We hope to expand our data visualization beyond the US to offer the same kind of services to other countries. We'd also like to provide more analysis on a case-by-case basis through the chatbot to come up with more accurate healthcare suggestions.

This is the picture from the Brew City Salmon Tournament out of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I co-chair this one day tournament that is the largest one day tournament on Lake Michigan. We get a half hour run time to our spot and with over 100 boats taking off at the same time it gets a little crazy. We have place in the top five of this tournament 7 times, with 3 2nd place finishes and the biggest fish ever caught in the tournament. We have done everything but won it. We pre fish for a week leading into the day and we do it with charters. This is the first week of August and a great time to book a trip and get us ready to win.


Modelled on a vehicle housed and on public display at the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, the crew bus is thought to be one of only five to survive into preservation. The Commer Commando is decorated in the RAF blue-grey colour scheme with black wings and wheel arches and features the RAF roundel on each side. The interior panels are bright blue with a pale grey floor. Externally, lots of chrome highlights the door handles, window surrounds, grilles, footsteps, radiator, bonnet trim and bumpers. The model comes with a special red, white and blue sleeve incorporating the fluttering RAF flag and a legend detailing its history.


Alert motorists - children can run out unexpectedly. Children safety signs provide a 24-hour notice that you should be cautious.
• Signs are printed onto durable and heavy-duty aluminum. This non-rusting sign should last for 10 years outside.
• Sign is available in a wide variety of reflective materials.
The real thing! Our house is in the woods at the end of a curving, hilly 500 ft driveway that the children like to ride down often. Hoping the delivery folks will take heed when they see this sign.


The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare clinical outcomes from two different patient position(prone vs left decubitus)with thoracoscopic esophageal mobilization in the procedure of Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (MIE).
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy is routinely performed in two positions. The left decubitus position is the most commonly used position at most centers. However prone position is another alternative.
The left decubitus position is advocated for its the same position as the open procedure and easy to learn, as well as easy to emergent conversion to open thoracotomy .However, the disadvantage of this position is the need of lung retraction for better exposure and definitely one lung ventilation. They are regarded as potential causes leading lung injury.
Prone thoracoscopic esophageal mobilization has been advocated for its potential benefits of increased operative exposure, no lung retraction, avoid one lung ventilation, improved surgeon ergonomics. But it is difficult to make emergent conversion under this positon and not familiar with most thoracic or digestive surgeons. A longer learning curve may be needed.
A few publications have compared the two position with thoracoscopic mobilization of the esophagus in retrospective study of a small cohort. Until now, no prospective randomized study has been carried out in this field.
In prone position group, patients are intubated with single lumen endotracheal tube. Surgeon and assistant stand on the right of the patient. A 10 mm camera port is placed 7th intercostals space in posterior axillary line, CO2 pneumothorax is created with pressure of 8mmHg. A 5 mm port is placed just posterior to the scapular tip. The last 10mm port is placed at 9th intercostals space in the scapular line for. The tumor and esophagus are dissected with cleaning of the lymph nodes along bilateral recurrent nerve.
In controlling group, The four chest ports were similar to that described by the University of Pittsburgh group. The left two ports are used for surgical exposure, the right two ports is to divide and dissect the esophagus. The dissection is similar to that of the prone position.
