Final Doyles Room Review Summary Doyle's Room has had a long trip through several poker networks in the last decade as Doyle Brunson himself has strived to keep his namesake site legal and open to American players. Doyles Room is the only place where you can take on the true legends of the professional poker world - Doyle Brunson, Mike Caro, Hoyt Corkins, and Billy Baxter. The Winning Poker Network obliged and revived the Americas Cardroom name, which was idle since 2007, to replace the DoylesRoom brand. DoylesRoom was a journeyman site. It started on Tribeca Tables.

Another victory for the Raptors against the Heat
basketball: - 05-08-20
(Lake Buena Vista) LAKE In the closing seconds of Monday's game, Jimmy Butler passed Goran Dragic for what could have been the tying basket.
Instead, Fred VanVleet used his speed to deflect the ball and confirm the Toronto Raptors victory.
The Raptors point guard posted a career-high scoring 36 points, leading the Torontonians to a 107-103 victory over the Miami Heat.
His work on defense has been as impressive as that on offense.
"What makes his defensive play unique is that he doesn't look fast on the pitch. He doesn't move up and down the court that quickly, but his speed in sideways movements and the way he moves his feet is amazing, observed Raptors head coach Nick Nurse. He has very good vision, he anticipates well and he is a few times ahead of the games. "
Pascal Siakam contributed to this victory by amassing 22 points while Serge Ibaka amassed 15. Kyle Lowry also did his part with 14 points and eight rebounds for the Raptors (48-18) who have won their last six games, including the first two since the relaunch of the NBA season.
In the loss, Dragic led the Heat's attack (42-25) with 25 points. Canadian Kelly Olynyk scored 17 points, two days after exploding 20 points in the fourth quarter in a 125-105 victory. Butler, who missed Sunday's practice, provided 16 points.
The Raptors, whose game was scheduled for the afternoon because many regions of Canada had a day off Monday, held the lead for most of the game.
They moved away from the Heat with a 20-7 streak in the third quarter that gave them a 17-point priority. The Heat reacted, however, to bring the score 84-79 in favor of the Raptors with a quarter to go.
A three-point basket from Olynyk gave the Heat a three-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but a three-point basket from Siakam paved the way for a mini Raptors rally.
When Ibaka stuck the ball into the basket with a pass from Lowry, the Raptors were leading by six points with 6:11 left.
The Heat still managed to come within one point of the Raptors with 41 seconds left thanks to a three-point basket from Jae Crowder and a basket from Dragic on a stride shot.
The Raptors missed a few chances, but VanVleet came to play the hero thanks to his defensive brilliance.
"We were changing everything and I was sort of preparing for a breakaway," VanVleet said of his important game. I saw Jimmy come back, he likes to cut on the sideline, so I was just trying to get it. 'be the surplus player in the basket. I saw Dragic cut so I wanted to beat him to his position and I was able to get my hands on the ball. "
VanVleet's former top was 34 points, succeeding against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 22.
"He (VanVleet) was hitting tough shots. You have to live with these, said Heat player Bam Adebayo. Several of them were widely contested. He made some big plays in the NBA Finals last year. That's what he does. "
Of the 22 NBA teams in the Walt Disney World bubble, the Raptors face the toughest schedule. However, their impressive 107-92 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, in which the Raptors' defense limited the Lakers to a 35% hit rate on Saturday, seemed to show the Toronto side are not worried.
The Raptors will take over Wednesday against Orlando before crossing swords with the Boston Celtics on Friday. After that, the Raptors will have four classification games left before the playoffs start.

Preface to Mapping the Soul: Selected Poems, 1978-1998. The Muses' Company, Winnipeg, Canada, 1998.
When I was growing up, I had two dreams that profoundly affected the shape of my life. I was six years old when my father died; the first of these dreams occurred three years after his death. I dreamed two men from an orphanage came to take me away. They were waiting for me at the back door; they were going to put me in a wooden cage. This dream made a deep and lasting impression on me, not only as a reminder of the insecurity and transience of life, but also as an encounter with the powerful depths of the unconscious. In retrospect, this dream began my awareness of the imagination, vision, and what psychologist C.G. Jung calls "the shadow". It also informed me of my own separateness from the world in which I lived.
The second dream came when I was around thirteen years old, and it is responsible for my embarking on a lifetime of being a poet and diarist. In this dream I was imprisoned in a room where the windows were covered with mud. Once I could see outside, but now I was enclosed and cut off from the world. However one may interpret this dream, my own interpretation as an adolescent was that I had to write down the truth as I knew it-what people had done and what I had done. Only by writing could I see things clearly. I knew intuitively that writing could clarify, order, and give perspective to experience. My concern was with saving my inner being, which I was afraid would be lost if I were unable to remember events. My conviction, even then, was that there is a heroism and bravery to the average person's life and I was responsible for recording as much of what I perceived of this as possible. I awoke from this dream knowing I had to write and ever since this dream I have written poems as well as kept a diary.
In addition to these two dreams there was a third influence to the kind of poet I became. In 1967, when I was still in high school, I read an article in a newspaper; in it the American poet, Allen Ginsberg, gave advice for poets. He said, "Scribble down your nakedness. Be prepared to stand naked..." This statement made a lasting impression on me. It validated what I was already trying to do in my own poetry. For the first time I realized that the kind of subject matter I was grappling with as a teenager-content that was personal and confessional-belonged to a literary tradition and had meaning to other people. Even if I hadn't read Ginsberg's statement I would not have been deterred from continuing the writing I was doing-writing that attempted to understand deeply felt experiences. However, to discover that there was a public context for this kind of writing was enormously empowering, and allowed me to identify myself as a poet. My first chapbook, Poems of a Period (1971), published when I was in my second year of university, contains poems that have a thematic continuity extending from those early poems up to the work I am writing now. This present collection, Mapping the Soul: Selected Poems 1978-1998 , presents a selection of twenty years from my body of writing. This selection is chronological, beginning with my first published book, The Trees of Unknowing (1978) up to the present selection from new, unpublished poems.
For years I struggled in my writing to express early experiences of grief and failure. I wrote many poems on these subjects, but none articulated exactly how I felt, or dealt adequately with what I needed to say, until I wrote the long poem "Divisions". This poem is central to my early work-in it I was able to deal aesthetically and personally with the experiences it discusses. Everything came together in the writing of "Divisions": content, form, and the insight necessary for its writing. This was a breakthrough poem for me, written over a three day period in April 1977. I was finally able to express in poetry what I was attempting to do since I was fifteen years old. I photocopied "Divisions" and mailed it out to other poets and critics, including Northrop Frye and Louis Dudek, both of whom responded generously: Frye with a letter, and Dudek with an offer to publish the poem. In 1983 bp Nichol published the poem in my book Divisions , with Coach House Press.
There are two more factors that I believe have contributed to my writing. The first is the fact of being born in Montreal of a large, but dwindling, family of Irish descent. This Irish background is rich in experience and family history; names such as Callaghan, Flanagan, and Sweeney are all a part of the family that has been in Montreal since around 1840. They were not wealthy people, although a few made names for themselves, but they were hardworking and improved conditions for the lives of their descendants. Their values, religious faith, and large families made them what they were. I am grateful for being a part of this ancestry.
A final factor that has helped shape my poetry is the tradition of writing poetry in English-speaking Montreal. Growing up in Montreal in the 1950s, I always took for granted that poets lived and worked in the community in which I lived. Poets were never "someplace else"-they were right here. So the idea of becoming a poet was never unusual. Just as I appreciate my Irish heritage, I also benefited from the poetry community into which I was born. In the 1970s I was involved with Vehicule Art Gallery where I attended and organized readings while a graduate student at McGill University. I associated with other poets, and my first full-length collection of poems was published.
I have always aimed at a directness of statement and emotion in my poems, to communicate an image and a strong emotion; to merge the personal self with the archetypal self. Poetry is the voice of the psyche speaking though the poet. These poems, selected from twenty years of published work, map the convolutions, terrain, and geography of the soul.
My poetic journey, from the early dreams and writing to the publication of this Selected Poems, has been a reaching out to other people. From the initial isolation as an adolescent poet until now, I have been blessed with meeting certain individuals who have encouraged and inspired me. My association with poet and editor Carolyn Zonailo began in 1989 with the publication, by Caitlin Press, of my book Family Album . CZ has edited my poetry and helped to prepare manuscripts for publication. We have shared a collaboration in writing and in life, living most of the year in Montreal, but spending as much time as possible in her native Vancouver, British Columbia. I would like to thank CZ for selecting the poems in this collection, urging me to write this Preface, and for editing.
I would also like to thank Louis Dudek for being my teacher and friend from McGill University days to the present. George and Jeanne Johnston extended to me friendship and the joy of discussing poetry and literature. Ken Norris, a colleague since the early 1970s, has offered on-going encouragement. Jake Morrissey has often listened with appreciation to my work. Sonja Skarstedt and Geof Isherwood began Empyreal Press in Montreal in the early 1990s; with bravado and a belief in the importance of poetry they published each volume of The Shadow Trilogy. I would like to thank Endre Farkas and Gordon Shillingford for offering their support through the Muses' Company. Finally, I would also like to thank the Canada Council for writing time during two grants, and for project grants in support of individual books.


This checklist and our staff are here to assist you in acquiring your Veterans Education benefits so you will get the maximum amount of aid for funding your education.
Before you begin pursuing financial benefits, you'll want to make sure you've applied to the University. Eastern Michigan waives the application fee for military veterans. If you have never attended a college or university you should apply as a freshman (although you will get transfer credit for your military training. If you have attended a college or university before you will apply as a transfer student.
To earn transfer credit from coursework completed prior to attending Eastern Michigan University, collect your transcripts from previous colleges and any military institutions that can be considered for EMU credit. Provide copies of your military transcripts and your DD 214 discharge documents to the EMU Office of Admissions for evaluation.
Use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to apply for financial aid. Even, if you qualify for the Post 911 GI Bill at 100% which will cover tuition and fees and a living allowance, you may, at times, be short of funds or have unexpected costs associate with being a student. You may qualify for a PELL Grant or other gift aid (aid that does not need to be re-paid) You can find all the information for applying on the EMU Financial Aid home page. The institution code for EMU is 002259.
Once admitted you will be notified by letter and possibly phone, to make an appointment for Academic Advising by calling University Advising and Career Development Center at 734.487.0400. Meeting with an academic advisor early in the course scheduling process can save you a lot of time, energy, and mistakes. Advisors can help you plan a manageable course load that meets your specific academic needs. They can also assist you in ensuring that all the courses for which you will request GI Bill funding apply to your degree plan. This is a Veterans Affairs requirement in order to receive benefits. Your initial meeting with an academic advisor will be part of your orientation program. Following this meeting, you will enroll in classes.
Once you have set up your my.emich account and have attended an advising session you will be able to register for classes using the web. Student veterans receive priority registration.
Freshmen and Transfer Student Orientation is a great opportunity for you to get better acclimated with the university and its policies. Also, this is an opportunity to gain a sense of the organizations and activities you'd like to be involved in as a student. Military and Veteran Services holds a semi-annual "In-Brief/orientation" for all new and current student veterans. E-mail our office at veteran.services@emich.edu for details.
There are many benefit programs available to veterans. Visit the official GI Bill Web site to go through a step-by-step process to get an idea of what benefits are best for you, or contact us and we can guide you through the process. You will find it easier to complete the application for benefits if you have a copy of your DD214 to reference your dates of military experience. You will need to complete one of the following forms online through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. It may take eight weeks to process your initial application for education benefits. So you should start this process as soon as you know when you plan to attend, even if you have not been admitted yet.
In order to receive your benefits, you must complete the online enrollment certification request. We'll need to collect some information based on your service and benefits. This step lets us know to report your information to Veterans Affairs and to complete the process. You must complete the online enrollment certification request each semester after you register for classes.
Keep in mind that your VA benefits can be used only for classes that are required for graduation in your program of study.
You must notify us when you add, drop, or withdraw from classes so we can update your enrollment certification. Report changes to our office by emailing us at veteran.services@emich.edu.
If you earn an incomplete "I" in a class, the class must be completed within one year or it will result in an overpayment and subsequent debt.

Cool Black Angels CD, School of Seven Bells live
The Black Angels have given us one of the month's best albums.
The Black Angels—Phosphene Dream…The solid September, 2010 continues with these Austin boys. If you like blusey 60's-garage rock, this one's definitely for you. When I first heard the single "Telephone", it reminded me of The Dave Clark Five. The entire album is consistent, with The Rolling Stones and other 60's luminaries constantly coming to mind. These Austin dudes appeared on David Letterman several weeks ago and proved they can bring it live. Track tips are "Telephone", "Yellow Elevator #2", and "Sunday Afternoon".
I was in Madison last week and caught School of Seven Bells at the Majestic. It's a band I respect but haven't gotten my arms around as of yet. The show was fine for their fans, but I'm not sure it would be something to attract new people. The stage was dark and the vibes warm and positive. I was surprised the sound was as lo-fi and bottom-heavy as it was. Perhaps more than it was intended to be. This isn't the kind of band to raise the roof, but it should be noted that crowd response was decent although not overly enthusiastic.. I loved their final encore, which was a cover of Siouxsie's "Kiss Them For Me". It fit perfectly.
Solid September: Recommended CD's
Great new Thermals album, but too accessible for their long-time fans?
Chromeo—Business Casual…Their electro-house approach hasn't changed much and I think that's a good thing in an era where so much electronic music has gone completely mellow. These guys turn down the volume later in the album but there's stuff to make you move. Track tips: "Night By Night", "Don't Turn the Lights On", "I'm Not Contagious".
The Drums—The Drums…Considering how long ago "Let's Go Surfing" endeared me to these guys, it's taken forever for this official album release in the U.S. The guys have become a major British success, which isn't surprising due to their "Joy Divison/Smiths-meet-the-50's and 60's" influences. The album debuted at #16 on the English charts. "Surfing" is about as happy as you can get, and the track almost didn't make the album. They adeptly blend dark lyrics with some of the most positive melodies around, so don't expect "Surfing" to be representative of the remainder. Their quietest track "Down By the Water" became a free download and has become an internet hit. I interviewed Jacob and Adam from the band last March at SXSW. Great guys (although Adam has left the band), and you can catch it here. Track tips: "Let's Go Surfing", "It Will All End in Tears", "Down By the Water".
Jenny and Johnny—I'm Having Fun Now…Jenny Lewis is Rilo Kiley's lead singer. During their hiatus, she's hooked-up (so to speak) with musician/boyfriend Johnny Rice. If lower-fi endless summer is somewhat if fashion right now, they're in that uptempo sweet spot with great melodies and strong songs. Single "Best Wave" deals with the struggling California economy. Other fave tracks include "Scissor Runner" and "Complicated".
Of Montreal—False Priest…This one is borderline for me, but rising. Of Montreal has been one of my favorite bands, and people are responding really well to this album. False Priest will probably be a grower for me, but I'm not yet liking it as much as "Sunlandic Twins or "Hissing Fauna". It's surprising to me that people are calling this one more accessible because I feel those prior albums are more so. Just the same, Kevin Barnes is one of the most creative people out there, and he'll always keep us guessing. I'll go with the majority and recommend you check this out. Track tips: "Coquet Coquette", "Enemy Gene" f/Janelle Monae, and "Sex Karma" f/Solange Knowles.
The Thermals—These Portland dudes have been around for awhile and their fans are rabid. I get great reports on their live shows. Some of these fans will be disappointed because this is the most accessible Thermals album to date. For me, it works really well and the disc is consistent throughout. The hooks in "I Don't Believe You" are undeniable. I also like "Never Listen to Me" and "Not Like Any Other Feeling".
Lots of good stuff coming just prior to the holiday blitz. None of the above will probably make my year-end top ten, but all strong just the same and some just might make yours. More September albums to come, and I'm looking forward to hearing the new Walkmen . Same for The Black Angels. I respect Interpol but their new one didn't do it for me, sorry to say. Keep raving on and talk soon.
Rave's Faves: Airplay Artists, Summer 2010
Best Coast's Bethany is bringing eternal summer to the airwaves
Since the last Rave's Airplay Faves posting on June 11, an entire summer has flown by. Say what you want about radio, there is good stuff on the air. Here are some personal faves who are getting play on indie and/or mainstream stations.
Muse, LCD Soundsystem, Temper Trap, Mumford & Sons, and Futureheads were listed last time and still sound fresh as ever. Cage the Elephant maintains fave status following 3 huge radio hits and an album that was released in early 2009. This disc has continued radio potential. StoneTemple Pilots' album is loaded with great stuff. I think a mistake was made in the choice of a second single and my hope is they go with something like "Cinnamon". The Florence & the Machine disc has been around since last year, and cool to see "Dog Days Are Over" beginning to blow up for them. The Drums' infectious "Let's Go Surfing" is finally picking up some major markets as well, with some other big stations thinking about adding the song.
Arcade Fire obviously have one of the albums of the year, and I'm on board with buzz bands like Best Coast, Wavves, Jenny & Johnny, and The Thermals. !!! and Innerpartysystem will make you want to dance and have been getting some good radio support.
Of bands not as much on the national radar, there's the Milwaukee band Jaill. Check out "The Stroller" if you're into garage/punk. LA's Fitz & the Tantrums play a punk-influenced version of compelling blue-eyed retro soul.
I've got album recommendations posted on June 2, July 3, August 4 (2010 faves so far), and August 23 so feel free to hit the archives to see what I'm liking best so far in 2010. September is shaping up to be a good month for new releases, and I'll recommend a few next week. Stay tuned and keep raving on!
The XX grabs the 2010 Mercury Prize
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
The XX: Seriously pleased about their win
Congrats to The XX, who copped this year's Mercury Prize in the UK for best album! It's based on critical acceptance rather than commercial success. Tastemakers around the world watch this closely, and UK gambling houses actually set odds. Typically what happens is that the award becomes a huge publicity boost as well as a shot in the arm for CD sales. Elbow won in 2008 and became huge in England. The resulting wave of success even had a major impact here in the U.S. Arctic Monkeys topped the shortlist in 2006 with their groundbreaking rookie effort. The band's second album made the shortlist in 2007 but they lost out to Klaxons. Klaxons were big in the UK and although they failed to generate major album sales in America, they were regarded at the time as a major band to watch. In recent times, only the 2009 award marred the prestige of the prize. Unknown and unappealing rapper Speech Debelle came out on top, probably because La Roux, Friendly Fires, and Glasvegas split the vote. I'm willing to bet that most people have already forgotten her, if they were aware of her at all. This year, I was hoping for either The XX or Mumford & Sons. The XX is one of those bands that grows on people anyway, and they're great live. Expect their album to have legs for a long time.
Wavves live…Arcade Fire…Mumford and Black Keys…Cee-Lo
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Main Wavve Nathan Williams
Back Monday night from a Seattle trip. Caught Wavves Wednesday last week at Neumos. If the intensity of their album is about an 8, it was a 12 onstage. Leader Nathan Williams added Jay Reatard's rhythm section a year ago, and these guys are all about playing loud and fast. They all seem close and gave each other lots of good-natured shit between songs. Good show…Arcade Fire is shaping up to be the band of 2010 considering the outstanding album, amazing live shows, and now the most buzzed-about online music video this side of Cee-Lo's "Fuck You". Interesting that while the band rejects virtually every licensing opportunity, a Google Chrome download is required to properly view the clip. I'm not sure I blame them, but it is ironic. "The Suburbs" is the type of complex album that has been a total grower for me, and where my favorite tracks keep changing. Bottom line is that almost all of it works for me…Of "indie" bands not getting tons of mass coverage, the Black Keys and Mumford & Sons CD's are both lurking in the top 30 after being out for a few months. Good for them, and I like seeing that a banjo-oriented group can catch on with hipsters. In some ways, Mumford strikes me as a more-accessible Fleet Foxes in terms of their appeal. BTW, Fleet Foxes are saying their next album will be darker. That's often a mistake for bands. I'm not sure I'd recommend that direction to them, but I'm still very interested to hear what they're coming up with…If you haven't seen the "official" Cee-Lo video just out this week, you must check it out. Off-beat lightening has stuck twice for him, first with "Crazy" in 2006 and now with "Fuck You". The clean "Forget You" version sounds great on the radio.


In what's sure to be the first of many to come, a 19-year-old Canadian man was arrested for exploiting the Heartbleed bug to lift taxpayer data from a government website, making this the first official Heartbleed-related arrest.
According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the suspect, Stephen Solis-Reyes lifted at least 900 social insurance numbers by exploiting the Heartbleed vulnerability. While the agency has yet to determine whether or not that was the extent of the theft, Solis-Reyes is being charged with unauthorized use of computer and mischief in relation to data.

CH-Masri Mesh....These modern Egyptian style netted mesh hip scarf is a staple in most raqs wardrobes. Worn in every belly dance genre, it suits every troupe and can be matched with a number of great costumes.
Pretty, fun, sparkly and a great layer for color and interest.
I tried this scarf because of its versatility and it is everything I'd hoped for. The quality is excellent, with the palettes securely fastened to the netting. I'll definitely need this one again in a few more colours.
These are delightful and colorful additions to my bellydance workouts and for costuming. I have given them as gifts to my fellow dance sisters and they love them. I would get these items again!
I bought what is called "brown" but with the sparklies it comes off more coppery/bronzey. Absolutely gorgeous. I am plus-sized (hips approximately 48") and this stretches to fit perfectly, without looking stressed.


This chapter addresses the question of the emotional functions of metalepsis: does narrative complexity intensify emotional engagement or make it bearable through moments of withdrawal? 6 How does metalepsis contribute to the representation of grief? Is there something metaleptic about intense emotion, especially grief, which can create a numbness or shock that separates the sufferer from a sense of reality?
The chapter begins with an examination of narrators and narrating in Aeneid 2. Both Aeneas and Sinon are fascinatingly complex narrators, who use their grief to establish authority and create a positive reception. This complexity encourages constant interplay between narrative levels, which creates dissonances for readers, but ultimately intensifies the emotional response of the various levels of audience. If Dido models Virgil's ideal response, he was not intending to turn us off. The narrator's constant presence, in counterfactuals that remind us we are in the pre-determined world of myth, the operation of hindsight which activates lament, and the irony more often associated with tragedy, do not alienate but draw us in.
levels.7 When Polites dies ante ora parentum ('before the face of his fathers') he is an image of the universality of epic death, and connects to Aeneas' own desire to die in the storm of book 1. This tendency of epic to speak across time and space as well as audience levels is reinforced by puns and intertextual references, which one would expect to create distance, but which can also serve to enhance immediacy. Most strikingly of all, when Priam is described as a headless body on the shore, the author intrudes with a reference to contemporary Rome and Pompey's death in the civil wars. This too claims the universality and contemporary relevance of mythic storytelling and seems likely to intensify engagement. Finally, I look briefly at Genette's phrase 'Virgil "has Dido die"' and how the death of Dido fits into these ideas about grief and narrative.

Lovecraft Country, Reno 911, Homecoming, The Painter And The Thief Release New Trailers: Watch Here!
3 May 2020 - Updated on 27 June 2020
in Entertainment, Movies, TV
Jordan Peels and J.J. Abrams are the two executive producers behind Lovecraft Country, the shiny new HBO series. Okay, maybe not so shiny as spooky. It circles around Atticus Black and his Lovecraftian Monsters. So far as the trailer is concerned, it looks like a very cool blend of genres. Set in the 1950s, it'll be interesting to watch the African American travelling across the U.S. in search of his father and the challenges he faces, both natural and supernatural. The show is set to release in August.
I haven't watched Reno 911 in a very long time, but this revival looks like something I cannot ignore. It hasn't lost its ridiculousness, not even a little bit. The trailer is funny, sort of? The show will release on Quibi and returns on May 4th.
"Riveting. A work of art unto itself." -IndieWire.
The trailer The Painter And The Thief presents a very fresh take on story-telling as a painter's masterpieces are stolen in broad daylight. She tracks him down and befriends him. The Painter And The Thief looks like a fascinating story and shows great potential. It was rated 100% by Rotten Tomatoes. Really looking forward to this one. Be sure to watch it when it comes out on May 22nd.
A new season of Homecoming is coming up on Amazon. The trailer looks extremely thrilling and one of the biggest reasons to revisit the show for the second season is Janelle Monáe in the lead. The show premieres on 22nd May.

Civmec Limited is a dual-listed Singaporean-Australian public company involved in the construction, engineering and shipbuilding industries. Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, it specialises in fabrication and construction for the oil and gas and mining industries and has been involved in a number of significant Australian mining and civil engineering projects and has been selected to build a number of vessels and facilities for the Royal Australian Navy.

History

Civmec was established in 1990, becoming part of the VDM Group in 2006. In 2009, it was sold in a management buyout. It was listed on the Singapore Exchange in 2012, and became a dual-listed company when listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 22 June 2018.

Civmec's main facilities are in Henderson and Newcastle and it has satellite offices in Gladstone and Singapore. The Henderson headquarters sits on 120,000 square metres of land, and its fabrication plant is the largest in the southern hemisphere. An expansion to the shipbuilding and maintenance facility in 2018 and 2019 resulted in an undercover facility with 53,000 square metres of space, which is the largest in Australia.

Up until 2015, Civmec had largely concentrated on mining and energy-based projects, holding engineering contracts for Shell Australia's Prelude floating liquefied natural gas facility, Chevron Corporation's Gorgon and Wheatstone gas facilities, Inpex's Ichthys gas field and Woodside Petroleum's Persephone project. Around this time, although the company's mining-based contracts continued, the company diversified its work and moved to infrastructure-based projects. Since this time it has undertaken the construction of a number of significant infrastructure projects in Perth as well as commenced military projects.

In November 2015, Civmec agreed terms to purchase Forgacs Marine & Defence. The company saw the purchase as an opportunity to set up a facility on Australia's east coast, and to pursue opportunities to enter into military contracts for submarines, offshore patrol boats and frigates for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The purchase, which included the Forgacs Shipyard in Tomago, New South Wales, was completed in February 2016 and resulted in over 150 job losses.

In 2018, Civmec commenced building ten of the Arafura-class offshore patrol vessels for the RAN, and in 2020 commenced building the RAN's new submarine rescue at its Henderson facility, which will include a launch and recovery system, hyperbaric treatment unit, and maintenance training and testing infrastructure with a seven-metre deep pool. This facility is due for completion in February 2021.

Elizabeth Quay pedestrian footbridge
Perth Stadium, supply and installation of steelwork
Matagarup Bridge fabrication and painting

History and presumption are often responsible for concepts and terms being accepted without question. On reviewing the basis on which many of these terms exist reveals the existence of myths rather than fact. The problem here lies that when these terms become accepted into our language an assumption of universal understanding is made. Core stability would appear to be a term that has grown out of a combination of urban myth and scientific research. Much emphasis in Western Medicine is placed on evidence based pracitice. While gold standards are created for treatments and interventions some of the concepts on which they were originally derived may not have been based on scientific evidence (Higgs and Jones, 1995).
In the continually growing and developing world of health and fitness, sports medicine, exercise physiology, physiotherapy and spinal rehabilitation core stability has become a very popular term. A review of the literature on core stability provides an irregular and inconsistent array of definitions and concepts. This lack of stability in definition is not just restricted to the academic world. The practical use of the term by coaches, trainers and medical personnel provides confusion at both an inter and intra-professional level and this is reflected in the understanding of athletes, patients and clients to the term. An example of the above problem is on review of medical referrals to physiotherapy clinics that request that a patient's core stability is examined with reference to their back pain. In this example the doctor may consider that poor core stability is a cause of the back pain or a secondary problem that needs to be managed. Are the two professionals operating on the same wave length with reference to what core stability is? Some definitions suggest that the abdominal musculature and the ability of an individual to control these muscles is the essence of core stability (Lawrence, 2003). This definition would appear inadequate for many academics and health professionals. Core stability may be referred to as trunk control by some professionals. This definition encompasses greater anatomical involvement, possibly extending from the muscles controlling the neck extending inferiorly to the structures providing pelvic stability and making up the pelvic floor. Clearly this incongruity of definitions would result in the athlete, patient or client receiving very different regimens of training, treatment or rehabilitation.
The terms strength and stability are not synonomous (Gibbons and Comerford, 2001a). Gibbons and Comerford (2001a) described strength as being based on the assessment of muscle function with load while stability was determined by assessing motor control regulation of muscle stiffness with no external load. Core stability and core strengthening are terms that appear to be used interchangably however the above definitions highlight how this may be inappropriate . The neurophysiological goals behind strengthening and stability programmes are individually very different. An example of this can be seen from the intensity that muscle contractions are performed, for a strengthening programme contractions at 60-80% of a maximal voluntary contraction are routinely used as the training intensity and this can result in muscle fibre hypertrophy (Astrand and Rodahl, 1986). For stability programmes the emphasis has been on improving neuromuscular pathways of muscles that work tonically at low levels thus requiring excellent endurance capacity. This has been shown to occur during exercise programmes that work at intensity levels between 3 and 40% of a maximal voluntary contraction (Davidson and Hubley-Kozey, 2005; Hagins et al., 1999).
Conversely there is also a lack of consensus regarding the precise biomechanical definition of instability. In the literature review by Hagins et al. (1999) they concluded that there was no current method, including x-ray examinations, that could reliably demonstrate the presence of instability. Furthermore, despite the lack of agreement on a definition, lumbar instability is a commonly used diagnostic category that frequently is intended to guide physiotherapy treatment (Hagins et al., 1999).
The concept behind core stabilisation exercise programmes has been to increase muscular control of the lumbar spine. The role of the neuromuscular system in maintaining a neutral position of the spine to prevent excessive translations and to control force distribution through the spine makes up the cornerstone of core stability exercise systems (Panjabi, 1992a and 1992b, Comerford and Mottram, 2000; Norris, 2001; Westlake, 2002 and 2003). On review of the myriad of methods employed to achieve such claimed states of stability one can find significant variations in application of techniques and proposed benefits (Blount, 2000; Bonelli, 2000; Boyle, 2004; Cook, 2003; Craig, 2003, Frediani, 2003; Lawrence, 2003; Liebenson, 2003, 2004a, 2004b, 2004c, 2004d; Stott, 2002; Westlake, 2002). Evidence behind the efficacy of these techniques needs to be investigated as it would appear that the base of foundation studies is relatively small yet the extrapolation of these results to many exercise systems has been vast. The validity of such assumptions needs to be investigated as core stability training programmes have rapidly become the essential ingredient of many rehabilitation and performance programmes (Cook, 2003; Lycholat, 2004).
This study analysed the published material relating to the concept of core stability and reviewed the quality of the available evidence using an established guideline. The guideline chosen for this study was developed by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) and was most recently reviewed and updated in May 2004 (SIGN, 2004). Clinical guidelines are becoming increasingly popular as health professionals become more aware of the need to practice in accordance with the best available research evidence (Baker and Burns, 2001). The SIGN 50 (2004) system grades guidelines according to the strength of supporting evidence (SIGN, 2004). The grading system is ultimately a combination of objective assessment of the design of each study and a more subjective judgement on the consistency, clinical relevance and external validity of the whole body of evidence (Guyatt et al., 1995). The aim of this study was to determine whether this popular term has a valid basis from a biomechanical, anatomical and physiological perspective. This research reviewed definitions, models and methodologies for measuring and analysing core stability and its related terms. The impact that core stability can have on other pathologies was also examined. Further aims of this work were to produce the first known clinical guidelines for core stability based on evidence.
The objective of this review was to evaluate the concept of core stability by critically examining the evidence from the literature in relation to key research questions using an established method for guideline development. The ultimate objective was to determine if the term core stability had a sound scientific basis.

Things Get Personal 'After Hours' With The Weeknd
Grammy award winner The Weeknd is back in the spotlight with his fourth studio album, After Hours.

Proving and Using Pseudorandomness
Mar. 6 – Mar. 10, 2017
Raghu Meka (UCLA; chair), David Conlon (University of Oxford), Russell Impagliazzo (UC San Diego), Luca Trevisan (Simons Institute, UC Berkeley)
One theme of this workshop will be how to leverage weak pseudorandomness properties, fooling simple classes of tests, in order to derive stronger pseudorandomness properties related to more complex tests. In the setting of additive combinatorics, what is the minimal set of tests that primes have to satisfy in order to guarantee that they contain arithmetic progressions (or other structures)? For example, recent work of Conlon, Fox and Zhao shows that a "correlation condition" initially imposed in the work of Green and Tao is not necessary.
In complexity theory, most unconditional constructions of pseudorandom generators ultimately all rely on various combinations of four basic tools: k-wise independence, small-bias distributions, error-correcting codes, and random walks in expanders. The technical core of the analysis of known pseudorandom generators is to show that pseudorandomness against simple tests implies pseudorandomness against more complex tests (see for example Braverman's theorem). Explicit constructions of pseudorandom objects have been essential to derandomize algorithms such as primality testing and undirected connectivity, and they have been applied in cryptography, distributed systems, complexity theory, streaming algorithms and learning theory. This workshop will explore unconditional constructions of pseudorandom objects at the frontier of progress, such as pseudorandom generators for small-space computations, small-depth circuits with modular gates, threshold circuits and DNFs.

Last week, I met with my friend Mandy for dinner for some much needed catching up and girl time. Mandy and I have known each other for almost 13 years. We met when I was a student at Michigan State and were immediate friends. She's one of the funniest people I know, and I'm so blessed to have her friendship… So to say I was overjoyed when she moved to Detroit from central Michigan a couple of years ago, is an understatement.
Mandy took me to dinner at Wright & Company (my first time, YUM!) where we talked about photography and the city that we both love. After dinner, we took an impromptu walk throughout Downtown where she showed me a few amazing spots that I just had to photograph on the way.
I love our city. We are underdogs. We are hard workers. We are the comeback kids. Detroit really does "hustle harder" and I'm proud to have been born and raised just south of this amazing city.

Chrissy Teigen Is Selena Gomez's Twin In Throwback Pic From Her Teens — Can You Tell Them Apart?
Erin Silvia
News Writer & Reporter
Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram on Feb. 11 to share an adorable photo of herself as a kid and fans couldn't help but notice how much she looks like Selena Gomez!
Chrissy Teigen, 33, had us all doing a double take when she posted a throwback photo on Instagram that looked very much like none other than Selena Gomez! In the pic, Chrissy looks to be around 12 or 13-years old and she's happily posing outside in a red tank top, tan skirt and sneakers. Like Selena, she has long dark hair and bangs in the pic, and her smile is exactly like the 26-year-old singer's. "jealous much," Chrissy hilariously captioned the photo.
Although Chrissy didn't mention Selena in the post, it didn't take long for many fans to point out her similar features to the "Good For You" crooner, and they couldn't get over it! "Is this Selena Gomez omg," one fan wrote. "Selena Gomez twin ," wrote another. "Were you Selena Gomez?" a third asked. Selena wasn't the only celeb she was compared to either. One person also compared her to Shakira, 42!
Neither Chrissy or Selena has responded to the comparison yet, but it's one that's definitely undeniable! The mother-of-two's Critics' Choice Awards appearance on Jan. 13 also had others comparing her to another star due to her outfit. Chrissy wore a gorgeous strapless dress with a high slit that was reminiscent of the dress Angelina Jolie wore at the 2012 Oscars, which started the dress slit trend!
jealous much

Chrissy is known for posting fun pics and amusing tweets whenever she can, and this new pic just adds to the memorable posts! We can't wait for more!

Insurance group: 12 - 33 How much is it to insure?
In our previous MINI Clubman estate review we found it was a curious - and slightly flawed - alternative to the family hatchback status quo, with chocolate-box looks and signature barn-door tailgate.
Now in its second modern generation, this new car promises to address the problems that haunted its predecessor - not least the lack of proper rear doors.
With characterful engines, an engaging drive, and an interior that would worry premium rivals like the VW Golf, BMW 1 Series, and Audi A3, the new Clubman is a serious contender in a busy marketplace.
Those familiar with the MINI hatchback line-up will feel at home with the new Clubman.
There are four engine and trim choices available in two tiers from launch. The petrol Cooper and diesel Cooper D share equipment, as do the sportier petrol Cooper S and diesel Cooper SD.
Fleet buyers attracted to the extra doors will appreciate the low emissions of the Cooper D, which claims 109g/km and 68.9mpg.
Those in search of thrills are catered for by the Cooper S, which can sprint from 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds thanks to 189bhp.
Also new is a smooth and rapid automatic eight-speed gearbox, available on everything except the entry-level Cooper.
As the range misses out the usual base-spec One grade and goes straight in at Cooper, the standard equipment list is extensive.
As well as 16-inch alloy wheels, you also get air conditioning and sat nav, plus the "Excitement Package", which, among other things, projects a MINI logo from the driver's side door mirror when the car is opened and closed.
All cars get an upgraded cabin compared to the last Clubman, with a full length transmission tunnel offering additional storage and there's a serious uplift in the quality of materials used.
The barn-door boot hatch remains and this can now be opened remotely using the key fob, or by a kicking motion under the rear bumper.
You also get two proper rear doors now rather than the previous car's Clubdoor, which passengers had to squeeze through in order to get out, often onto the road.
It might not be as sharp as the hatchback but the Clubman has inherited all of the smaller car's character, offering agile handling and strong levels of grip.
The Cooper S is particularly fun to drive thanks to its powerful petrol engine and vocal exhaust, which bangs and clatters like a rally car as you race through the gears.
Other cars in this segment offer a more serious and precise drive, but there are few that will put a smile on your face like the MINI.
Find out what we like most about this new family hatchback as we review the 2015 MINI Clubman.

How to Get Certified as a Woman-Owned Business
If you're a woman who owns a business and you'd like to apply for federal contracts, getting officially certified as a woman-owned business is essential. The federal government's goal is to award at least 5% of its contracts to women-owned small businesses each year. While the certification process may seem daunting, it's not that difficult if you know the basic application rules and materials needed.
Two Kinds of Certifications
There are two types of women-owned certifications, Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and Women-owned Small Business (WOSB). WBE is a designation that many private sector businesses and organizations, and some state and local governments use. To be given this designation, you must apply through one of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) third-party certification partners.
WOSB is a designation used by federal government agencies. Under the WOSB designation, you may also be qualified to apply for an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) designation.
How to Apply for WOSB Certification
The certification process for these designations changed in 2020. While there is a lot of paperwork involved, the federal government has done a lot to streamline the process.
1. Verify that you meet WOSB eligibility requirements, which are:
- Be considered a small business by SBA size standards
- Be at least 51% owned and controlled by women who are U.S. citizens
- Have women manage day-to-day operations and make long-term decisions
2. Gather the materials you will likely need to apply. These may include things like:
- Company name and/or "Doing Business As" (DBA) name.
- Owners' names, addresses, and company website.
- The company's legal designation/structure. For LLCs, articles of organization and operating agreements.
- Incorporation date.
- A list of each proprietor, partner, shareholder, or member within the 12 months leading up to application filing.
- Affiliate relationships.
- Business and personal loans.
- Birth certificate, current passport, or naturalization papers.
- Driver's licenses of all owners.
- EIN (Federal Tax ID).
- Resumes of all owners, directors, partners, officers, etc.
- Current bank statements and financial institution signature cards.
- Documentation on how the company was funded.
- Financial statements for three years, including balance sheet, profit & loss statement.
- Tax returns for the past three years.
- Authority to conduct business in the state and certificate of good standing issued by Secretary of State.
- Articles of incorporation and articles of amendments filed with the Secretary of State.
- Bylaws and amendments.
- Statement of information filed with Secretary of State listing officers, directors, managers, members, or general partners.
- Partnership agreements.
- Professional, industry, and/or business licenses.
- Copy of lease or deed for business location, if applicable.
3. Apply online through the self-certification tool and complete the process. This site also provides a wealth of resources to answer your questions.
4. Upon receipt of the full application and paperwork, the SBA usually decides to grant or deny the designation within 90 days. Incomplete packages may require additional documentation before a decision can be made.
Once approved, you will need to maintain your designation with an annual recertification.
While there are about 13 million women-owned businesses in the US, only 4,800 are certified as WOSBs. With the increasing visibility into data and the government's goal of providing funds for small and minority business, this is an ideal time to get certified.
