Brett Rogers: "I'm Gonna Win"
Written by Tim Ngo
The headline sounds crazy right? But, what else is Brett Rogers supposed to think? He's been perfect, if not vicious, though his first 10 professional fights. Rogers appeared on ESPN2's "First Take" early Wednesday morning and was asked about how he sees his fight with Fedor Emelianenko playing out.
"I'm gonna win. There's no other option, it's just win," Rogers matter-of-factly responded."I'm confident in my abilities and I'm confident that I'm gonna get in there any knock him out. A lot of fans are just going to be shocked."
Of his 10 career victories, nine have come via knockout, with his most recent coming against former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski. Unfortunately, he had to settle for submitting Ralph Kelly for his only non-knockout W.
"I'm definitely going to have to be a little more patient than any of the other fights in the past because he definitely is a patient fighter," Rogers said about his mindset going into the biggest bout of his career. "He's not dumb at all, he's not going to be rushing anything."
If Rogers can shock the world at "Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers," he will certainly never have to think about working at Sam's Club again. Rogers told Dana Jacobson that this is the first fight of his career where he got to train full-time, without a time-consuming side job to supplement his income.
Sure there's going to be pressure to win, but that's nothing compared to struggling to make ends meet with three children.
"I'm just going to go in there and basically have fun," Rogers proclaimed.
It won't be too enjoyable for him if Emelianenko is able to extend his ridiculous winning streak to 27 come Saturday night, however it should be tons of fun for the millions that will be watching at home on CBS.

The goal of this tutorial is to highlight how to perform complex data transformation and validation operations, and output the results either to disk or a database.
Again we'll use the tutorials/woodworking directory from the git repository.
On some systems, you may use zcat instead of gunzip.
Some notes here. The bash version is fairly straightforward in this case, but gets much more complicated if you want to traverse dates that span weeks, months, or years. Essentia handles the decompression of the data and piping it to the command you specify. All you need to do is specify the category and date range to process.
Failing to do this may lead to ess stream sending unexpected data to your command and could affect your results.
Since we are in local mode, each file is processed sequentially. If we had worker nodes (i.e. the cloud version), the processing would be done in parallel, with each node responsible for a subset of the files.
This tutorial continues here: Data Processing: Part 2. That tutorial involves more complex Data Processing examples and uses our Data Processing (AQ) commands.

How Parents Can Have Conversations That Motivate Teens
Deborah Farmer Kris
(PIKSEL/iStock)
After the release of his bestselling book "The Self-Driven Child," clinical neuropsychologist William Stixrud got a request: make it even easier for parents to apply the research in the book.
So Stixrud and his co-author Ned Johnson wrote "What Do You Say? How to Talk with Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home." Their goal was to give parents more language they can use with kids. They recently spoke about their new book at a parent education workshop hosted by Parent Venture. Johnson is the founder of PrepMatters and host of PrepTalksPod
The relationship between parent and child is central to building children's self-motivation and stress tolerance. And how parents respond to kids when they are emotionally distressed can strengthen or strain that relationship.
Seek First to Understand
Johnson and Stixrud interviewed dozens of adolescents, asking them "Who do you feel closest to?" and "What is it about that person that helps you feel close?" The overwhelming sentiment was this: "The person I feel closest to is the one who listens to me and listens without judgment," said Stixrud. "The purpose of communication is ultimately to connect."
But too often, when kids are in distress, parents want to use words to fix their feelings, said Johnson. "We use logical words and try to talk them out of their hard feelings," he said. But logic doesn't calm the stress response; "empathy and validation do."
When parents offer suggestions – even really sensible ones – most children often "bounce them away," said Johnson. "We start giving all the things to try and they will reflexively give us all the reasons it won't work."
Instead, he said parents should seek first to understand, show an interest in their child's interests, ask non-leading questions and practice listening carefully and then reflecting back what you hear with phrases such as: "Let me see if I can get this straight . . . Do I have that right?"
You can pivot toward advice eventually, Johnson said, but if you want to be heard, you need to start with empathy. And if you do offer suggestions, avoid firm directives. Instead try phrases such as, "Can I make a suggestion?"; "I have an idea about that. Can I run it by you?"; or "For whatever it's worth . . . " Stay warm and tentative, framing advice as an offering rather than a command. "We are much less likely to get resistance if we do that," said Johnson.
Be a Manager, Not a Boss
As teens prepare to become independent adults, parents need to reframe their perception of their role, said Stixrud. "Think of yourself more as a manager than as a boss. We want to offer our help, advice and wisdom, but not force it down kids' throats. And we want kids, as much as possible, to make their own decisions. Our goal is for kids to run their own lives before we send them off to college."
Stixrud recommends that parents take force off the table in their interactions with kids.
"I start with no force," he said, "and then I'm much more able to get cooperation and get kids to try things." When you find yourself in a power struggle with your child, step back and use language that prioritizes the relationship, such as, "I love you too much to fight with you about your homework."
Power struggles activate the threat center of the brain, said Johnson, and so an overt "no-force" approach supports collaborative problem-solving. For example, if video games are a source of parent-child tension, start by showing genuine interest. "Learn the game or at least watch them play," said Johnson. "Tell them 'I see why you like this stuff.'" Once you have had a chance to validate their perspective, you can say something like, "I get that you love video games. I also know that when you play too much, you get irritable and don't have time for other things. You see that too. Let's figure out a solution that works for you and works for me."
When we talk in a way that minimizes pressure, it helps our kids develop autonomy. "It's counterproductive to motivate kids through fear or guilt," said Stixrud. "We may get kids to do stuff, but it doesn't do anything for self-motivation."
Model Calm and Confidence
When parents are constantly monitoring kids – from using apps to check their whereabouts to constant texting or checking online grades – they inadvertently convey the message that life is scary and too much for teens to handle on their own. In contrast, said Stixrud, one of most powerful messages we can give our kids is this: "I have confidence in your ability to make your own decisions."
When kids are faced with something that scares them, parents are tempted to offer continual assurances that they are okay. "Stop reassuring them all the time," said Stixrud. Instead try saying something like, "I know this makes you really anxious, but I'm 100% confident you can handle it."
Children need practice facing the things they are worried about. "Anxiety manifests as avoidance," said Stixrud, As parents, it's a delicate balance "help just enough but not too much" so that we don't deprive kids of experiences they need to develop confidence.
Communicating with this kind of assured energy takes practice, said Johnson, but it's worth it. We need to do the best we can to be a "non-anxious presence" in kids' lives, he said. "When the people who are in charge aren't overly reactive, systems just work better. Calm is contagious."
Listen for "Change Talk"
Parents often express frustration when kids seem stubbornly resistant to making the changes that we think will benefit them. But people, including adults, "are ambivalent about changing," said Johnson. For example, "if kids are getting terrible grades, it's not lost on them that there would be benefits to changing that behavior." But they may be ambivalent because they know it will take tremendous effort to turn around their grades – and they may put all that work in and still not be an "A student."
In their practices, Stixrud and Johnson ask a lot of open-ended questions and listen for what they call "change talk." This might sound like kids expressing some dissatisfaction about their sleep or study habits or kids mentioning an activity, topic or club they want to investigate.
The aim of these exploratory, non-pressured conversations is to "create space [for kids] to articulate the reasons for themselves why to go this way rather than that way," said Johnson. As parents, "we are working 'with' them, not 'on' them."
After all, said Stixrud, our goal isn't to "change our kids," but rather to "change the way we react to our kids."

San Pedro Ports to Tighten Truck Age Restrictions
By Karen Robes Meeks
To speed up air pollution reduction efforts, new drayage trucks coming to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach this fall will have to be a 2014 model year or newer.
The governing bodies for both ports recently passed the initial tariff change, which is expected to receive final approval in July and slated to take effect on October 1.
The new rule, however, would only apply to trucks not currently in the Ports Drayage Truck Registry – about 50 percent of trucks in the registry are 2010 model year and newer. Presently, drayage trucks that come to the twin ports must be 2007 model year or newer.
This move is the first of several to be made by the ports under the latest version of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), an outline of initiatives to clear the pollution generated by those that operate at the ports. Passed in November, the 2017 CAAP Update features more stringent pollution-curbing efforts, including a goal to have zero-emissions trucks by 2035.

Daniel K. Inouye Christened
On June 30, Honolulu-based Matson, Inc. and Philly Shipyard, Inc. christened the M/V Daniel K. Inouye, one of two new vessels being built by the company.
"This is a proud day for all of us at Matson," said Matson's Chairman and CEO Matt Cox at the shipyard ceremony. "Over our first 136 years, Matson's fleet has evolved from sailing ships to larger steamers to diesel power, consistent with changes in technology and always evolving in step with the needs of a growing Hawaii economy."
Named after the late US Senator representing Hawaii, the 850-foot long Daniel K. Inouye is faster, can transport up to 3,600 TEU and features modern eco-friendly technology.
"This new vessel, designed specifically to serve Hawaii and built with LNG-compatible engines, is the next generation of vessel and sets a new standard for cargo transportation in Hawaii," Cox said. "It also symbolizes Matson's continuing commitment to serving our Island home in the most efficient, effective and environmentally sound way into the future."

Longview Accident Claims Longshoreman, Crew
A longshoreman and a crewmember lost their lives and two others were injured in a maritime accident at the Port of Longview early Thursday morning.
International Longshore Workers Union (ILWU) member Byron Jacobs, 34, died at the scene after one of the vessel lines on the M/V Ansac Splendor snapped in half and recoiled toward both the dock and the vessel while it tried to move along the dock from one loading hatch to another, according to port officials.
Three others sustained injuries, including the ship's chief mate, Pingshan Li, who died later that night at Southwest Washington Medical Center.
"Our hearts are with his family and friends as we all grieve this tragic loss," said Port of Longview CEO Norm Krehbiel. "This is an unimaginable loss felt throughout both the maritime and local community."
ILWU Local 21 President Jake Ford said Thursday's incident was "a tragic day on the waterfront," adding "Byron was an active member of the union, loved his work and will be incredibly missed." The union also sent their profound condolences to Chief Mate Li's family, friends and crewmates.
Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard and Washington State Labor and Industries are investigating the incident.

New Executive for Redwood City
Kristine A. Zortman, vice president of the economic development nonprofit Civic San Diego, will lead the Port of Redwood City as its new executive director.
Zortman will take over for longtime director Mike Giari, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
"Following an extensive recruitment effort, the Port Commission is thrilled to announce the selection of Kristine A. Zortman to further the port's successful economic development and maritime trade growth," said Richard Dodge, chair of the Port Commission. "Kristine's experience and leadership in maritime commercial growth and expansion and maritime related commercial real estate were key assets advancing her as our top candidate," he added. "Kristine's successful collaborations with boards, strong community and business partnerships, and experience managing successful internal teams will elevate the port's success as we continue as a leader among California and US ports and focus on economic development, transportation and community building initiatives and priorities."
Prior to working with Civic San Diego, Zortman negotiated long-term commercial real estate leases for the Port of San Diego for eight years and worked on land acquisition for Lennar Communities for six years. She also did environmental project management for several years, according to the port.
"I am grateful and thank the Port Commission leadership for their confidence in me to lead the Port of Redwood City," Zortman said.

As an economic engine, the port's strategic alliances and business partnerships will facilitate it truly becoming the region's partner of choice in multi-national maritime trade and industry."

Johnnie Ray Singer-pianist Johnnie Ray exploded onto the American pop music scene in late... plus
"Johnnie Ray"
Singer-pianist Johnnie Ray exploded onto the American pop music scene in late 1951 with Cry, a ballad given such an emotional and unorthodox treatment that it stunned the listening public, and held down both the #1 and (with Ray's self-penned Little White Cloud That Cried as the flip) #2 spots on 'Billboard's' pop chart--a unique achievement. The 24 year old Oregon born Ray matched his unusual vocal approach with a wildly physical performing style that, as label-mate Tony Bennett said, "smashed all the rules." Not surprisingly, Ray had been discovered at a black R&B Mecca, the Flame Showbar in Detroit, where he'd insinuated himself after almost three years of thankless toil in the "upholstered sewers" (as Johnnie himself described them) of Los Angeles and the nightclubs, roadhouses, after-hours clubs and burlesque theaters of the Pacific Northwest.
Unconventional hardly began to describe Johnnie Ray; a hard-drinking, blues- shouting, piano-kicking, bisexual firebrand. Not only did Johnnie, in performance go absolutely ape--throwing himself onto the stage, writhing, gasping, gesturing wildly, wresting the microphone from its stand and racing back and forth with it, leaping from the stage into his audience (antics never before attempted by any performer, black or white), he also wore a hearing aid--the result of a 1940 blanket toss accident when members of his boy scout troupe accidentally dumped him onto the ground; a dry straw punctured the ear drum. The handicap, taken with all the rest of his wild presentation, qualified him as a freak, a big beat mutant who shocked and disturbed staid 1950s America. Barely recalled by the public today, Johnnie Ray was a crucial figure in pop music--the missing link between crooner Sinatra and rock 'n' roll idol Elvis Presley.
During his initial burst of fame, captivating not only the bobby sox set but also Manhattan's Cafe Society and beyond (everyone from Tallulah Bankhead to Salvador Dali to Noel Coward to Yul Brynner to Hank Williams Sr. proclaimed their adoration), Ray's manager Bernie Lang had aggressively capitalized on his property, re-negotiating Johnnie's contract with Okeh and later Columbia no less than three times and launching the first all-out merchandising scheme in pop music history: in 1952, Johnnie Ray bobbysox were selling at the rate of 30, 000 dozen pairs a week. There were Johnnie Ray Teardrop suits, sport shirts, ladies blouses, Cry-kerchiefs, folios, plans for a hand puppet--an endless and lucrative stream of products capitalizing on the Cry Guy's unexpected appeal.
Bernie Lang had good reason to exploit Ray as much as possible--the bottom could drop out any time. Within a week of signing his recording contract in April 1951, Johnnie had been arrested by an undercover vice officer in the mens' room of a Detroit burlesque house; charged with accosting and soliciting, Johnnie plead guilty, paid his fine and blithely went on to become the world's reigning international pop star (riots broke out everytime he toured Britain and Australia--his overseas fans were virtually uncontrollable). Even a high-profile but short-lived marriage to the daughter of legendary Sunset Strip showman Charlie Morrison, owner of the swank Mocambo, could not provide cover. When the debut issue of the notorious scandal magazine 'Confidential' appeared in 1953, Johnnie was on the cover, subject of a vicious character assassination that, almost miraculously, did not refer to the 1951 arrest. But Johnnie had a rogue-ish reputation--he'd also been arrested a number of other times since attaining fame, as a common drunk (passed out in an airport terminal) and a spectacular drunk and disorderly charge (roller skating through the lobby of a Minneapolis hotel, squirting guests with a water pistol).
Personally, Johnnie was a odd mixture of rural farmboy, high-camp gay blade, jazz-R&B philosopher and formal old school Tin Pan Alley entertainer. His degree of interest in men and women constantly shifted; after splitting with his wife Marilyn in 1953, he had started an ongoing relationship with a male model that lasted for some 7 or 8 years. But in 1956, male model or no, Johnnie began a torrid affair with 44 year old columnist, crime reporter and radio/television personality Dorothy Kilgallen. A powerful figure and veteran Hearst employee, Kilgallen was as famous as Johnnie; although she was married (with three children) the Ray-Kilgallen affair was one of Gotham's most open secrets. They did not just hide in plain sight, they flaunted it and necked outrageously, pawing each other like a pair of teenagers at tables in most of New York's top clubs. No one dared publicly speak or write of the affair--she was a fearsome adversary whom none would cross.
This was most fortuitous for the Cry Guy, whose career, since 'Confidential's' lurid expose, constantly vacillated between glory and scandal. As a result, Johnnie Ray's cachet was re-established and his romance had coincided with a renewed vigor, depth and skill in many of his records.
Back in the studio on March 17, 1957, Johnnie again plunged into the pop market with the whooping ebullience of Yes Tonight Josephine, the mind- bending overkill of Build Your Love (On A Strong Foundation) and gingerly strolled the dusty, Western-flavored Street of Memories. The next record date, May 26, 1957, produced two more slabs of pure 1950s pop: Miss Me Just a Little, the dizzying, god-awful Texas Tambourine, and Pink Sweater Angel, a weak attempt to rope in the sock hop crowd. But the last tune, Soliloquy Of A Fool, was an extraordinary, if not altogether unique, piece of work; eerie, dramatic, with weird percussion and a ghostly sounding organ. Johnnie's vocal is riveting, a performance of white-knuckled, teeth-grinding intensity.
He was riding so high, coming off his #2 hit, Just Walkin In the Rain, and the Top Ten follow-up You Don't Owe Me A Thing, that Johnnie decided he was going to get himself something really wonderful to celebrate his 31st birthday. He was going to buy back his hearing. Following rounds of consultation, he secretly entered a New York hospital and spent his birthday, January 10, 1958, undergoing surgery. The press was called in the following day. Propped up in bed, with a huge bandage wrapped around his head and a doting doe-eyed nurse melting beside him, Johnnie smiled for the photographers but did not answer any questions. He couldn't have--the operation was a flop. Doctors brainstormed, then suggested an immediate second go at it. Johnnie agreed. He went back for another attempt on January 12.
Two days later, in a special report headlined:"Johnnie Ray Ear Miracle Thrills New York," famed columnist Earl Wilson ballyhooed "the great good news that Johnnie Ray can hear after a second operation has Broadway again believing in miracles." By the second paragraph this cheery tone dwindled to more sober observations like "at least partly a success it appears he is going to be able to hear." The basis of the story lay in the fact that Johnnie had detected a gust of wind vibrating the window pane next to his bed when Wilson dropped in. Earl was doing him a favor with the miracle angle.
While the first operation was a failure, the second was a disaster. The surgery completely eradicated what little remained of his left ear's hearing and diminished that in his good right ear by almost sixty percent. Happy Birthday.

Excellent service! When I requested a Gluten-free menu, the manager himself came out to personally give me the menu and assure me that he would designate one of his staff members to prepare my food separately in a separate part of the kitchen. The menu had a list of the toppings that were Gluten-free. Pizza is the only gluten free food that they serve, but it was EXCELLENT and did not taste "different" or "gluten-free" like many GF foods do. My food was delicious and I did not get sick. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who has to eat Gluten Free!

Let's talk about zinc and hormones.
Your body is a sophisticated machine, and, for that machine to run properly, it not only needs to have balanced hormones, but it also needs to have proper levels of critical vitamins and minerals.
Zinc is one of those critical minerals — it's actually called an "essential trace mineral" because a) it's "essential" to the proper functioning of your body, and b) you only need it in small "trace" amounts.
Now, most of the time, you're able to get zinc from your diet, but if you're not getting the proper amount of zinc in your diet (if, for instance, you are vegetarian or vegan), this can often be fixed by taking a simple multivitamin once a day.
And you definitely want to avoid being zinc deficient. If you're deficient in zinc, not only can this be a problem for many of the different functions of your body, but you can also run into hormone issues — we know this because zinc balances hormones in people who are severely deficient. Your testosterone levels are likely to suffer if you suffer from a zinc deficiency, but other hormones, like estrogen, will be affected as well.
But this isn't the only area where zinc deficiency becomes a problem — zinc is tied to immune function, memory and learning, wound healing (zinc and collagen production are closely related), healthy pregnancy, fertility — the list goes on and on. Zinc is critical to healthy function, not just healthy hormone levels.
However, though zinc is something you should certainly ensure is in your diet in sufficient quantities, it's unlikely that you're deficient of zinc, especially if you live in the United States. The cause of most zinc deficiency in the developed world is the elimination of meat and shellfish from your diet.
It's sometimes the case that vegans or vegetarians develop a zinc deficiency, followed shortly by hormone issues — make no mistake, zinc and hormones, especially testosterone, are closely related, and a diet that does not include a healthy level of zinc can lead to hormone deficiencies.
Let's talk a little bit more about your body, zinc, and the hormones you're likely most concerned with (testosterone and estrogen).
When it comes to zinc and hormones, most of the literature focuses on how zinc affects your testosterone levels. For instance, we know that, if you're zinc deficient, adding zinc to your diet can significantly increase serum testosterone levels.
In this study on zinc and hormones, it was found that the addition of zinc to the diet of zinc-deficient elderly men, who were otherwise normal, resulted in a statistically significant increase in serum testosterone levels over the course of six months.
In another study of zinc and hormones, it was found that, when rats were fed a zinc-deficient diet, not only did their testosterone levels drop, but the formation of estradiol (estrogen) from testosterone was increased.
In yet another study of the relationship between zinc and hormones, it was found that adding zinc to the diet of men affected by sickle cell anemia could increase testosterone levels.
While the effects of zinc deficiency on hormone levels are serious, they're also reversible — low testosterone and high estrogen can have a seriously detrimental effect on a man, but thankfully, if zinc deficiency is the cause, it is easily fixed.
Unfortunately, most men who come to our clinics aren't suffering from zinc deficiency, which means that zinc supplementation isn't the answer to their low testosterone problems.
What I want you to take away from this article is the following idea — it's important to have a good level of zinc in your diet, but, for most men in the United States, zinc deficiency is likely not the cause of low testosterone.
However, if you don't eat meat or shellfish, and especially, if you're on a strict vegan or vegetarian diet, it's very possible that you're zinc deficient and that zinc supplementation could help restore normal hormone levels.
That being said, this is not the norm — for most men in the U.S., zinc deficiency is not a concern, and further, over-supplementing zinc is not going to increase your testosterone levels or bring them back to normal.
It's more likely that there is something else causing your low testosterone.

Disconnect the battery's negative cable to avoid the risk of electrocution.
Use a screwdriver to remove the entire door panel and start the removal process by removing the screw of the arm rest. Take off the lid of all screws locates around the outside edges of the door. When all lids are off, take all screws out of the panel.

Stairway to Heaven to air in January 2017 – Shaun Micallef Online!
Shaun's "Stairway to Heaven" series, which began with a single episode in 2014, will continue with a 3 part series in January on SBS.
As previously confirmed, Shaun is continuing on his quest for spiritual enlightenment, the meaning of life and finding out what drives people who have unshakable faith.
It's a different kind of show for Shaun, who rather than taking a wry approach, is taking the journey and encounters very personally.
He will be looking at Mormonism in Salt Lake City, Spiritualism in Brazil, and Christian Fundamentalism in Texas. Previously he explored Hinduism in India.
Shaun did let us know that through this series, he does find some answers that bring about a conclusion to his quest.
The specials start 8:30pm Wednesday January 18th 2017 on SBS. Hopefully, the original special will be re-aired prior to the new ones.
I just read an article about your "Stairway to Heaven" series, and hoped you might consider offering your audience a clarification. Regarding "Mormons," there is apparently more than one group who use that nickname, but the mainline church, officially named The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is popularly identified with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, does not practice polygamy. Thanks for your interest.
Watched "Faith Healer" and thought it was a brilliant mix of earnest seeking and humour. Gives me hope in this spiritual vacuum of Western Society.
Hi Shaun, i am trying to catch the final Stairway to Heaven that i missed but it will not link via google to SBS on Demand and it doesn't seem to be there.


Growing up in a family of agents, Natalie Doolan resisted entering the industry for many years, learning valuable skills in event management and hospitality. Now as Director of Carnelian Property Management in Lake Macquarie, Natalie says she aims to put a smile on her clients' faces every day.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your agency.
Born in Newcastle, I grew up in Lake Macquarie, the youngest of three. I spent my 20s living and working in Sydney and had a blast! When it was time to start a family my husband and I moved back to Newcastle. We love the space and lifestyle!
At Carnelian Property Management our focus is purely property management and making it an enjoyable experience for both investors and tenants. While our business and team are growing steadily, we pride ourselves as owners of the business on still being directly accessible to our investors. In a world of increasingly online and faceless transactions, we know this personal approach is highly valued.
What motivated you to enter real estate?
Growing up, my parents owned a real estate agency. I spent many afternoons after school in the office. Although I worked in other industries such as event management and hospitality, which contributed valuable skills to my real estate career such as maintaining grace under pressure, negotiating in challenging situations, and remaining helpful and approachable at difficult times, it was pretty much a given that I would eventually make my way into real estate.
Newcastle is certainly continuing to grow and thrive, and we love sharing our experience with investors new to the region as well as locals.
What is the market like in your area right now?
Our agency covers a large footprint in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter. In this market we're seeing older, even industrial suburbs being revitalised through waterside apartment development and tasteful renovation of century-old homes. We're also seeing brand new land estates being developed and watching new communities emerge. Newcastle is certainly continuing to grow and thrive, and we love sharing our experience with investors new to the region as well as locals.
What is your secret to maintaining healthy relationships with landlords and tenants?
Being accessible and willing and happy to help. Showing respect for both landlords and tenants. I love being able to assist our investor clients in growing their portfolio, and our tenants find properties to call home.
What apps do you use most on your smartphone or computer?
Being a small but high-performing team, technology plays a big part in our efficiency. We all actively use Trello on a daily basis for a broad range of tasks, from daily or recurring 'to-do' management to project managing significant campaigns or business enhancements.
We love LastPass as a password management tool across all our devices. It enables us to regularly and quickly roll out password changes across the many platforms and apps we use throughout the business, helping minimise the risk of online threats or cyberfraud.
Being a small but high-performing team, technology plays a big part in our efficiency.
We also use Dropbox for document storage, which is of great benefit. As an example, at an ingoing inspection we may take 500 photos, which are then stored to the cloud and a single link can be shared directly with the landlord so they can feel like they were there at the inspection themselves. No need for selectively sharing photos or sending large files via email.
What changes do you see happening in property management in the next 12 months?
The industry is experiencing major growth in online services offering low fees. While they may be enticing, they cannot replace good old-fashioned customer service. I hope to see an increased focus on customer service at the forefront of clients' minds when selecting an agency.
Growing our team thoughtfully and in a way that enables us to continue to be accessible for all of our landlords. We're currently looking forward to a long-awaited family holiday to New Zealand in 2020!

Ever since man first brewed beer thousands of years ago, hangovers have been an inescapable part of life for drinkers everywhere.
However, a new 'miracle pill' has been revealed which might be about to put an end to hangovers forever.
23-year-old Eddie Huai, creator of the FlyBy pills, claims that his new tablets might finally be the cure for hangovers we've been looking for all this time.
The pills are packed with vitamins and other supplements, which supposedly 'flush out' hangovers if you take them before you go to bed.
It's claimed that the tablets remove toxins from the body, which end up causing the hangovers the next morning.
It's still a small business at the minute, but Eddie claims that out of the 60 customers he's gotten feedback from, 90% claim it helped them avoid a hangover.
If you fancy trying it out for yourself, the pills are available here.
Of course, there's only one sure-fire way to avoid a hangover, and that's by not drinking at all. But hey, where's the fun in that?

Life in a slow place that quickly steals your heart.
Sink or swim – Canadian team prepares to swim North America's equivalent of the English Channel
The next act of the English Channel swim relay team, the Crazy Canucks is a swim that is comparable in length , conditions, difficulty and challenge and all a bit closer to home. The Crazy Canucks are taking on the Catalina Island Channel on lucky Friday, September 13, 2019.
First swum in 1927, on the heels of the intense publicity from Gertrude Ederle's swim of the English Channel in 1926, Catalina also has a long and storied history in marathon swimming history and brings with it its own set of unique challenges that make it a worthy goal to be respected and tackled with solid preparation. Our swim will be overseen by the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation, our pilot boat the Bottomscratcher could not have a better name and our main kayak guide is my brother Dean Dogherty, who competes internationally in outrigger canoes.
We are going for a record that we are keeping on the down low at the moment but it could add to the fun of the achievement.
Four English Channel team veterans will be joined by two new swimmers to make up the team of six.
The challenges of cold water, high winds and waves we faced in the English Channel, the seasickness that struck down half our team to varying degrees from violent to mild and stings from jellyfish are all Catalina possibilities. In addition we face two more. The Pacific Ocean swim starts at near midnight to avoid the winds that kick up in the afternoons. Pitch black conditions can bring on vertigo as the black sea and sky merge together to cause confusion and add to the stress of swimming in a large ocean. On the plus side, many swimmers report swimming through magical bioluminescence. The other factor involving sea life with many sharp teeth is not to be mentioned by name….Voldemort, Voldemort, Voldermort. The positive side of this equation are dolphins which will all be on the look-out for.
Here are thoughts from the team as we prepare.
John Ostrom
"I've swum my whole life and I enjoy it most when I'm in shape and feel powerful in the water…Open water is interesting to me because I grew up on the ocean (Prince Rupert) and always feel it's a bit mysterious. I don't really fear the ocean but am always curious about it. Swimming in some ways allows me to become closer to nature."
John, in the dingy, heading back to the Viking Princess after touching France.
"The epic nature of the swim and doing it as a team appeal the most. I am not super keen about swimming at night (me neither) and I'm going to have to put images of sharks and squid lurking below out of my mind!" (Guess he didn't get the memo re that which shall not be named.)
"I am very happy about the English Channel swim and how everything worked for us so well. Of course I am very proud to have been the "finisher" that touched France. Having done that channel I know we will also do Catalina the same way with a very competent group."
Chris Lough
Chris mid-Channel
"I swim three to four times a week year-round," says Chris. "I spent all my summers in Quebec and played in the water for hours a day. Open water is just a return to the joys of those childhood times for me."
As for the challenge ahead, Chris says, "Swimming in the dark and the unknown potential for larger "fish" ups the excitement." (See, he got the memo…)
As for the English Channel, Chris says he has nothing but fond memories. The only thing he would change is his approach to dealing with the nausea.
Chris is preparing by swimming four times a week and working up to cold water swims in the spring as well as some night swims and increasing his distances as our swim draws near.
Janet Robertson
Janet watching as the sun rose on the Channel before her turn in the drink.
"I like the feeling of moving through the water both in the pool and in the lake. I believe in balance in life – swimming is part of that balance. Open water swimming is freeing and meditative – I can find my zen. I lose all that life throws at me when I'm in the water…so freeing."
Janet's approach is to try to minimize the build up talk as this makes her nervous.
"Night swimming will be very important to the success of the swim so I think we should plan a swim camp with that as a focus.
"I am proud to have done the English Channel. I had to dig deep quite a few times to reach the group goal. I wasn't going to let the group down. I will take everything from the English Channel to Catalina, except, hopefully, the sea sickness. Who knew I would consider doing either the Channel or Catalina. Butterflies reign supreme as well as deep breaths."

As idea originator and the team captain of both swims I am fully in. For me it's all about something I love doing more than anything else, talking five and now seven people into joining in on the adventure and working toward a crazy goal that will change our lives or at the very least give us some pretty unique experiences.
In water, all is possible. As T.H. White says, "There is practically no difference between flying in the water and flying in the air…It is like the dreams people have." When you swim, you feel your body for what it mostly is – water. When you enter the water you dive through the surface into a new world. You are in nature, part of it, in a far more complete and intense way than on dry land. To get that feeling utterly and completely you need to be in a river, lake or the ocean.
The swimming training is important, sure. The mental training of swimming in cold water, in the waves and wind and at night are the most important. My training goals are to be prepared physically and mentally tough.
Dean, doing his thing in Kelowna this summer.
I am also beyond proud to swim with this team which comprises four long-time friends, my cousin Peter who is a Canuck( but lives most of the year in Australia) and embodies for me my dad's spirit and a new enthusiastic swim pal Janice who is up for anything. Making the team even more special is my brother Dean who will be beside us in that big ocean in a kayak making it feel a little less big. We will swim between the Bottomscratcher and the kayak which will both be lighted to keep us on track in the pitch black.
Janice Johnston
Jan horsing around after a lake session this summer in Skaha.
"I love to swim in open water because I find it both relaxing and challenging. Swimming to me is like walking, you don't have to think about it. The challenge comes to get faster and add some distance. There is such a great freedom and being close to nature when you swim in open water plus I REALLY DON'T LIKE FLIP TURNS! I didn't swim competitively as a young person but I have embraced swimming as an adult. I even became a lifeguard at age 51."
Jan says she is looking forward to meeting her new team mates. "I think it's going to be amazing to swim in the ocean at night (maybe even scary) but that is part of the challenge. I am really hoping not to get sea sick during my leg of the race."
She is a firm proponent of our post-swim tradition of doing in-water handstands and sharing liquorice on shore.
Peter Sinclair
My cousin Peter, far left, pictured with a relay team that swam 16 kilometres across Lake Rosseau.
Peter, who swims every day, has spent this past summer taking dips in Elk Lake in Victoria, Lake Ontario in Toronto and Lake Rosseau in Muskoka. "In Australia, I get to swim in the ocean a lot which is really fantastic, conditions are different every day. Variety is fantastic.
"I am looking forward to meeting all the team members and their families, taking the boat to Catalina, where I've never been before and of course the swim itself. I'm maybe a little nervous about the temperature of the water."
The English Channel and Catalina Channel are two of the marathon swims that make up the triple crown of swimming. The third is the swim around Manhattan. There are fewer than 200 relay teams that have swum Catalina and even fewer than that 200 number that have swum the English Channel.

New approaches to home based internet business gives entrepreneur professional and financial freedom. With little knowledge of computers and the internet, Isaac Ohana has easily started a home based professional business working from home.
A lot of people are today looking for an online marketing business opportunity. But does it mean that one has to be internet savvy or a whiz on the computer? Not at all, says Isaac Ohana. He knew very little of the computer and almost nothing about the internet, when he got introduced to this home based business opportunity. But plugging into the system and becoming a part of the incredible community in Liberty League, which he is proud to be part of, he feels this is the best way for him to be successful at home businesses.
When asked what is his story, how did he arrive here, he says 'bygones are bygones' and he is glad for all that he has experienced to be where he is today. Isaac Ohana was facing bankruptcy as the owner of a Quiznos Sub Franchise. He had incredible success the very first year where he increased the sales by 25% of his franchise and received awards and accolades from the corporate until in the 2nd another store was opened close by and in the 3rd year there were 3 other Quizno's Sub Franchises within 1 km radius.
He was working 80 hours shifts to pay his employees a salary. That is when he stumbled across this top home base business, and he was able to regain control of his life and finances and create an ideal life style for himself and his loved ones, Today he calls his occupation as introducing everyone to the best franchise business opportunities for a fraction of the cost, where revenue can be generated for the serious big thinker.
www.myideallifestyle.com introduces people to the concept of starting a home business. When asked what his occupation is he says I have a home business career. Now, that's intriguing. What does it really mean and how does one go about building successful home businesses. He says it is a very simple system where there is no telling, selling, explaining or convincing. He loves to call this simple yet powerful system that has profoundly altered his life and is continually doing so for many others as "Simon Says." He believes that starting a legitimate home based business is easy as easy gets.

But plugging into the system and becoming a part of the incredible community in Liberty League which he is proud to be part of, he feels this is the best way for him to be successful at home businesses.
He is looking for people who aren't merely interested and ask "so, does it work?" he would rather work with the committed people who say "so, how does it work?". He says "no one cares how much you know but everyone cares how much you care." Today he spends time with his family at home, can avoid all the hassles of a commute and a boss.
His ideal day consists of meditation spending time with his daughter and wife, enjoying a 30 sec. Commute across a carpeted hallway to his office and connecting with people over the phone. He pays one bill for his utility and does not worry about separate bills for his home and business and the best part is one gets to write a part of your home bills off since his work place is in his home. When asked if this is a profession. He says "Absolutely!" This is better than any professional business working from home that he is aware of.
When it comes to creating an ideal life style, there is no better place to get started than visiting www.myideallifestyle.com. This place on the web provides a sneak peak at what an ideal home based internet business could create in our lives. Isaac Ohana the founder of Kito Marketing started the company with only one goal which was to create a balance in life in terms of personal, professional and financial freedom.
He was able to accomplish his dream when he got introduced to the product called Beyond Freedom patented by a company based out of Scottsdale AZ, U.S.A. called Liberty League International. Among the many products that Liberty League has, Isaac focuses on marketing Beyond Freedom because that is where he got started and had incredible success in taking his home based internet business off the ground. He experienced quantum leap and has been enjoying his success in home business career continually.

Entrepreneur Facing Bankruptcy Leaves Sub Franchise for More Enjoyable Lifestyle Working From Home.
There are many Internet based franchise options available in the UK. Why not take a look around our website for some inspiration.


We are the UK's leading supplier of minoxidil for both Men and Women. Our minoxidil range includes best sellers such as 5% Rogaine, 5% Kirkland and 2% Equate Minoxidil. Our delivery times to the UK are on average (4-7 working days). Please note that we cannot ship to Ireland due to Irish Medicines Board restrictions. We do accept other forms of payment including Bank Transfer, Cheque / Money Order and Western Union. Please contact us for more information.
Minoxidil is a proven solution to male pattern baldness, the condition responsible for most hair loss in men. This genetic issue is believed to affect as many as a third of all males. It is also the active ingredient in products capable of transforming the lives of women suffering from similar problems. Around 85 per cent of men find that their hair is significantly thinning by the time they reach 50 and many women are distressed to discover that their hair is falling out and is failing to re-grow as it once did.
Minoxidil is the answer. Many scientists believe that it reinvigorates hair follicles that have shrunken, prompting them to grow. This allows hair to re-grow and become thicker over a period of time. Minoxidil is the only treatment available over the counter that is scientifically proven to not only prevent hair loss, but to prompt re-growth. Studies have shown that as many as four out of five male users have experienced a stop in hair loss.
It has been proven to work most effectively in men who have recently experienced thinning and hair loss around the upper part of their scalp, although some studies have also shown that it can also be advantageous for those experiencing one of the first signs of male pattern baldness, a receding hair line.
There is little doubt that Minoxidil helps to reduce hair loss and can prompt re-growth, although there are two distinct theories as to why this is actually the case.
One scientific explanation suggests that it is Minoxidil's ability to cause dilation in the blood vessels that surround hair follicles that gives it its power. This is said to increase the supply of nutrients to the follicle, prompting more hair growth.
The other widely-held view is that Minoxidil applied topically boosts DNA synthesis within the cells of the hair follicles by prompting the body to produce sulfonyl transfers, a catalyst that leads to the creation of Minoxidil Sulphite. This activates channels of potassium in the cells, leading to the re-growth of hair.
For the majority of users, the reasons why Minoxidil works are of no real concern; the only thing they want to know is 'is it effective?' and the answer is 'yes' in many, many cases.
This is a major breakthrough in the treatment of male pattern baldness, which is the cause of all but around ten per cent cases of significant hair loss in men. Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator but was originally formulated towards the end of the 1950s as a medication to treat ulcers. It did not fulfil its initial aim but was later found to be an effective vasodilator and in 1963 it was given the name of Minoxidil. It was approved to treat people with high blood pressure back in 1979.
It was in 1988, however, that it became an officially approved treatment for baldness and, later, was approved for over-the-counter sales, making it easier than ever for both men and women to seek a solution to what can be an extremely distressing problem, affecting not only a person's appearance but their self-confidence as well.

So people are willing to watch oil wash up on shore, into the marshes, and be carried hundreds and thousands of miles down current, destroying the environment, destroying industries and livelihoods, yet they are repelled at the thought of a contained underground nuclear explosion?
Why would we not do this FIRST? Are there financial incentives for certain companies NOT to? Hmmm… certainly things to ponder.

Spontaneous resolution of subdural hematoma

A 33-year-old man suffered a traumatic subdural hematoma with complete spontaneous resolution, as demonstrated by computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. After resolution, there was obliteration of the subarachnoid space on the affected side, giving rise to relative dilation of the subarachnoid space over the uninvolved convexity. A resolved subdural hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such an asymmetry.

The traditional blackboard still plays a fundamental role in classrooms both across the country and across the world. The blackboard has been around for centuries and it's still a very reliable form of classroom teaching tool that has survived the test of time to continue its legacy through into the 21st century. The blackboard's tremendous success is owed to its reusable, practical, purposeful and hardwearing nature.
Blackboards still hold some advantages over newer whiteboards due to the cheapness and wide availability of chalk. Blackboards are also easily cleaned and almost never wear out.
To get the most out of your blackboard, you'll need to equip it with the needed accessories. Here, we stock an array of the most vital products needed for efficient blackboard use.
One of the first products you'll need is a blackboard eraser. These are specially built to efficiently clear chalk off a board. We stock a fine array of high-quality erasers that come in forms such as the multi-felt eraser or the coiled eraser. We also stock a multipack of mini felt erasers. Erasers are built to last the test of time and will virtually never fully wear out, provided they are cleaned periodically with solvent or other cleaner.
Felt and foam are still considered the best materials to use with blackboards due to the fact they clean chalk easily and don't wear out for a very long time.
Alongside our erasers, we stock both 45 degree and 60-degree wooden set squares which are jumbo sized for blackboard use. We also stock a specific-built 1-metre blackboard ruler with convenient hand holder for easy manoeuvrability.
The blackboard is still widespread not just in education but throughout offices and building sites. Keep your blackboard running with our array of carefully selected blackboard accessories.


Description: This new Ruger 10/22 rifle fires the .22lr round. It has an 16.62" blued threaded barrel with a black synthetic stock. This rifle comes with an optics rail, manual, lock, a flash hider, and one 10 round magazine. This rifle has been drilled & tapped for optics rail installation.


All maps tell stories, but Canadian Geographic Education's latest map is especially unique not because of what's in it, but rather what it's made of.
The new classroom map of Canada and North America is made of a waterproof and tear-resistant synthetic paper composed of a unique mixture of calcium carbonate and polypropylene resin.
Featuring a standard boundary map of Canada on one side and a beautifully detailed topographical map of North and Central America on the other, this is the perfect tool for busy classrooms.
"This is the most up-to-date map of Canada, and we want to share it with as many classrooms as possible," says Sara Black, education program coordinator with The Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
The map has been printed and mailed to 15,500 teachers across Canada. Its creation was made possible with the support of Kathryn McCain.
