Our Bury St Edmunds prepares for town centre's reopening...
Our Bury St Edmunds prepares for town centre's reopening
Owners of shops and businesses in Bury St Edmunds are preparing to re-open after the Government's announcement that they will be able to do so from June 15 – with customer and staff safety critically adhered to. As the town prepares to fully re-open a number of essential shops have continued trading safely throughout the last two months, together with food outlets selling takeaway meals and drinks.
Lesley Bancroft who owns Buy the Light in Whiting Street, which was only trading online during lockdown, said: "Now that we have a date from the Government to work towards I will be putting in additional measures to allow for social distancing and to help my customers and staff stay safe. I've had great support from the Our Bury St Edmunds team who have helped me access the resources and guidance I need and now it's a case of having the shop ready to welcome customers back, while still following all the scientific safety advice. I am so looking forward to seeing some of my regular customers again as well as my colleagues and hope they have all stayed safe and well."
As well as the re-opening plans the shop was given another boost just before lockdown began when it was shortlisted for a prestigious award in the gift shop industry. Buy the Light is a regional finalist in the GREAT awards which celebrate gift retailing. The winners will be announced in the autumn.
As the lockdown period has been eased in the last couple of weeks, Bury St Edmunds town centre has seen more people visiting, including enjoying the Abbey Gardens. The Business Improvement District (BID) organisation Our Bury St Edmunds has been working with a number of local partners to ensure that social distancing and safety concerns are addressed responsibly and has already put signage in place around the town to help shoppers and visitors maintain a safe distance.
Our Bury St Edmunds Chief Executive Mark Cordell said: "There is a lot to think about as the town prepares to start trading fully again and of course there are still those in the hospitality sector who are waiting to hear about reopening dates. But in the meantime we are supporting our business members, all of whom want to open with all the responsible measures in place. Between now and June 15 we'll be making sure the new way of working will be as clear as possible and hope that shoppers and visitors to the town will understand how important that is."

Home > Paulo Coelho > Books > Aleph
Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho's beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self-discovery.
Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, Paulo decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal—the woman he loved 500 years before—an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself.
Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.

Even if it's not quite sure what it is, the Lenovo Yoga Book 2-in-1 is an outstanding feat of technology. Just don't expect it, as ever, to replace your laptop - that's not what it's for. Here's our Lenovo Yoga Book review.
Hats off, Lenovo. In a time where most smartphone are black slabs that look like iPhones and laptops are silver ones aping MacBooks, the company has created a product like no other. The Yoga Book is a svelte, light, futuristic 2-in-1 laptop/tablet that can do an awful lot while looking like it's from the set of Minority Report.
It is this desire to break away from a decade of design stagnation that drives the unique look of the Yoga Book. It's like nothing we've seen before, but with the functionality of several devices including Apple's iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Yet the Yoga Book is more compact and debatably even more useful than that device, though it depends on the use cases. Either way, this is an outstanding product from a company that has stagnated in recent years. Here is our Lenovo Yoga Book review.
The Lenovo Yoga Book is available with Windows 10 in the UK from £549.99. However there is also an Android version, which we reviewed here and at the time of writing is not available in the UK.
In the US, the Android Yoga Book retails for $499.99, and we expect the UK price to be the same amount in pounds.
While the Yoga Book is to our mind one of the most interesting tablet designs ever, it's still a device that is an acquired taste. Once you've taken in its space age looks and the light-on light-off keyboard, you'll probably think, "what is it for?". Lenovo has decided to leave it open. It's not for work or play; it can do both.
Because the device has a hinge and open like a laptop to display a keyboard in landscape mode, we used it more often this way round than folding it back completely to use as a normal tablet. Our Android review unit was Gunmetal Grey, though a Champagne Gold version will also be available. If you prefer a Windows 10 setup, you'll have to get one in Carbon Black.
The metal Yoga Book folds open at a hinge that wouldn't look out of place on the arm of the Terminator to reveal a generous 10.1in screen. The bottom panel springs to life with what Lenovo calls a Halo keyboard, a touch sensitive panel with a QWERTY keyboard lit up underneath. You have to see it to fully appreciate that there are few products on the market to invoke this level of initial disbelief, such is its sci-fi vibe. It's a bold design choice and one that we have to congratulate Lenovo on before investigating if it's actually practical to use. One expects not, but that isn't always the case with this beguiling machine.
The dimensions when closed are 256 x 170.8 x 9.6mm and it weighs just 690g. The Lenovo logo is subtle, and suggests the device be held like a book (as does the name Yoga Book, of course). Yet when you open it, it naturally becomes a laptop.
For comparison, a 9.7in Apple iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard attached weighs 662g - so essentially, you won't notice a difference between the two set ups. The design of the Yoga Book stands out also in comparison to a device like the iPad Pro because it is a unibody design, with no need for the extra expense of a fiddly keyboard accessory. Having said that, the keyboard here does take some getting used to.
Here's our rundown of the best 2-in1 tablets.
The design is surprisingly featureless when closed, though this is how Lenovo achieved such a remarkably thin design. There's a micro-USB port for charging and data transfer, a mini HDMI port to hook up to displays, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. Aside from that, our version had a SIM slot for a 4G data SIM, a speaker grill on each top and bottom edge (when held vertically with the hinge on the left). That same top edge also has the power/lock button and a volume rocker. The two cameras are safely hidden when the devices is closed - you open the unit completely into tablet mode to use the then rear-facing lens.
What we like so much about the Yoga Book is that it not only includes a full keyboard in a 2-in-1 design, but that this keyboard area doubles as a pressure sensitive canvas for use with the included 'Real Pen'. At the touch of a button, the lit keys dim to give a black slate that you draw or write onto digitally, but there's also a physical paper pad that has a clever trick up its sleeve. With the biro refill for the Pen, you can draw directly onto the included Book Pad thanks to a conductive magnetic back, and the Yoga Book digitally recreates and stores your work onto the device.
This will be preferable for some people, because although with the iPad Pro you can draw directly onto the screen, some will miss the tactility of using an actual pen. The Yoga Book allows you write or draw as normal but effectively creates an automatic digital library of all your work with the Note Saver app. Just be aware that you can only use the included Real Pen with the ink refills to do this, so you won't be getting out the charcoals unfortunately.
We'll come on to how it works in practise, but the first time you use it, it's hard not to get excited. It will bring out the purest love of tech in you, such is its uniqueness compared to anything else on the market. It's easiest to achieve what you want from the note taking app when using the biro and paper, as if you use the digital pen you are not drawing directly onto the screen (like you would on iPad Pro) and the image is replicated on the screen opposite. The pen however has a sensor that relays a white circled dot onto the screen when you hover over the Create Pad, as a guide to where the nib will land.
The digitiser inside is supplied by Wacom, the company famous for its stylus and tablet technology.
We won't use the tired Marmite cliche here; whether or not you want to buy the Yoga Book is dependent on your potential use for it. With such a focus on the pen, if you write or sketch and want a device that will digitally store it all automatically for you, bingo. Yet even more than the iPad Pro it's a device that we fell for simply because you just want to get your hands on it and play.
The display is a 10.1in full HD IPS with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. It is a capacitive touchscreen, but this is only for finger input when in tablet mode or tapping icons in tandem with keyboard use. The screen displays the standard Android tablet setup, with the taskbar housing the three icons (menu, back and open apps), as well as the currently open apps on the bar. The Windows 10 version will obviously differ, but we have not yet tested it.
The screen is as responsive as you'd expect from a high-end tablet in 2016, and it's a good things, as you'll find yourself using it a lot. Although the keyboard houses a trackpad when turned on, it's a frustrating experience on the Android platform. We would imagine it'd be very useful on a full OS like Windows, but on Android it's just easier, quicker and more reliable to tap on screen. This doesn't detract from the day to day use of the machine, thankfully.
Screen brightness did tend to need to be quite high, particularly when viewing darker colours (Netflix viewing definitely needs to be at a high brightness) but editing documents in Google Docs is no problem. The display is also excellent in tablet mode, with good viewing angles and barely a trace of pixelation.


Hi. We're headed to PV in November. We'd like a simple hotel but with a decent pool and beach. We'll sit around a lot, buying bkfast and lunch at grocery store, but looking for fine dining in the evenings. Away from zillions of people is preference, but will live w/anything.
Any suggestions on place to stay?--Thanks!
Perhaps you ought to rent a casa.We did in June and we will probably never do it any other way.We stayed in a two bedrm casa with maid,cook and private pool in Conchas Chinas.The view was awesome as was everything else.Seems far away from everything but just a short 5 minute cab ride to nice restaurants.Google "casa rentals in Puerto Vallarta".We used www.boutiquevillas.com but a ton of different companies will come up.If you get a two bedrm and share the cost with another couple its probably cheaper too.
A price-range for "simple" would help me make suggestions. I prefer the Old Town instead of north end i.e., the Hotel Zone, The Marina, or Nuevo Vallarta... as closer to what I think you describe.
The 'problem' is the simple hotels are usually situated a couple blocks in from the beach. So if it must be ON the beach that limits choices a little bit.
Please post again, maybe you consider a Sheraton, Marriott, Westin a basic hotel so I don't want to mislead.
Favorites on Playa Los Muertos (beach on the southside) that fit are Tropicana and Playa Los Arcos. Hotel Eloisa is good but the pools aren't. Casa Andrea is more B&B style gorgeous casitas with great pool, kitchenettes, but 1-1/2 blocks from the beach.
November is not too busy as it's not yet into "the season" and in Old Town you are unlikely to find zillions. As for fine dining, you are in luck! PV has literally 100s of restaurants of all kinds. Buy a Vallarta Lifestyles magazine which has listings of all the nicer places (Trios, River Cafe, Cafe des Artistes, etc.).
Thanks for help all. Simple Hotel: I don't mind paying $150 per night, but I don't care if it's super luxurious. Cheaper is better, but we do want beach access. Sounds like Old town is more our take. Casas? Anyone else think that's the way to go? Suze? I've read other posts about awesome dining in PV. THanks!
The dining part will be a cinch once you get there, no worries. You'll simply need more time, or a return trip, to try all the restaurants.
Casas, condos, and apartments are great, but again not too many are directly on a beach within town (you can find these in smaller towns to the north like Bucerias). More likely up on the hillside above, or on side streets, or inland a bit within PV.
I'm glad I asked about price because when I hear simple + PV together I think of Posada de Roger, my favorite local mexican hotel that rents for $40USD/night!!
Quinta Maria Cortez is this amazing house made into a small hotel right on the beach, but their pool is miniscule.
Dreams (the old Camino Real south of town) has a gorgeous private beach but changed management in July and is now all-inclusive (boo!).
Molino de Agua has two gorgeous pools and large beachfront suites. A good possibility, but rumor has it the hotel is for sale so am hesitant to recommend; it would have been my 1st choice for you a few years back.
Costa del Sol are condos that often rent out right on the main stretch at Los Muertos. They might be a good fit.
Buenaventura is more a normal resort hotel in the Hotel Zone but not too far north from downtown with both beach and pools, close enough to walk or bus into El Centro but definitely not on the southside (Zona Romantica) like all the others I've mentioned.
I'm writing from the office but will check back and forward a few specific websites and correct names for what I've already mentioned.
We always rent condos when we head to PV. A couple of suggestions would be Lindo Mar Resort, about 3km south of town http://www.tradingplaces.com/ This is a very comfortable condo complex located on a very nice (but small) beach. There is a great restaurant in the complex. It is a short 5 peso bus ride to town.
I hope this doesn't find you too late....we went to Quinta Maria Cortez in March and really loved it. The room we were in (Maria) was huge...it had a small kitchen, living room, dining area, huge bedroom, and two balconies overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed our room and hotel so much that on the first night we didn't want to leave, just walked to the nearby convenience store and picked up some snacks, sat on the balcony and enjoyed the ocean view and sounds. It was in a residential area and secluded, but a close enough taxi drive into town if you wanted to go for dinner. The pool is very tiny, but when we were there we had it all to ourselves. A really great breakfast is also included in the room rate. They have a web site, quinta-maria.com where you can check out the rooms, rates, etc. I really can't recommend it higly enough, it made our stay in Puerto Vallarta.
Thanks for the current and favorable post about Quinta Maria Cortez!! I've only visited with friends who had a room there and toured the rooms/suites that weren't occupied (have not stayed there myself only because it is unfortunately out of my price range). Fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed it!

Sen on Equality of Capabilities
Stewart Eskew, March 10, 2009
Equality of Basic Capabilities.
What's the view?
"…a person being able to do certain basic things. The ability to move about…the ability to meet one's nutritional requirements, the wherewithal to be clothed and sheltered, the power to participate in the social life of the community" (1979 p. 218).
"A person's capability to achieve functionings that he or she has reason to value…[t]he functionings included can vary from most elementary ones, such as being well-nourished, avoiding escapable morbidity and premature mortality, etc., to quite complex and sophisticated achievements, such as having self-respect, being able to take part in the life of the community, and so on" (1992, p. 5).
"…involves judging advantage by the freedom to achieve, incorporating (but going beyond) actual achievements…these conditions can…be fruitfully seen in terms of the capability to function, incorporating (but going beyond) the actual functionings that a person can achieve" (1992 p. 129).
"Basic capability equality is a partial guide to the part of moral goodness that is associated with the idea of equality" (1979 p. 220).
Methodology: Two ways to criticize.
Case-implication critique.
"…check the implications of the principle by taking up particular cases in which the results of employing that principle can be seen in a rather stark way, and then examine these implications against our intuition" (1979, p. 197).
Prior-principle critique.
"…examine the consistency of the principle with another principle that is acknowledged to be more fundamental" (1979, p. 197).
Why capabilities?
Neither utilitarian equality, total utility equality, nor Rawlsian equality "provide a sufficient basis for the equality-aspect of morality" nor do any combination of the three (1979 p. 220).
Sen's critique of utilitarianism.
Ignores the importance of distribution.
Violates commitments to liberty.
Human diversity is problematic for the utilitarian principle of equality (i.e. give equal weight to the equal interests of all).
Equality of total-utility vs. equality of marginal utility.
Pleasure wizard example (similar to Roemer's example).
Sen's critique of welfarism (total-utility equality).
Criticisms of leximin.
Indifferent to "how much" questions.
Indifferent to "how many" questions.
Offensive tastes.
Ignores objective components of well being ("e.g. whether he or she is hungry, cold, oppressed…") (1979 p. 212).
Sen's critique of Rawlsian equality (Question 1- Ben Edeker).
Sen objects to Rawlsian equality of primary goods on the grounds that it contains "an element of 'fetishism'" (1979, p. 216). How is Rawls's view fetishistic? How does equality of basic capabilities avoid this fetishism?
Urgency.
Handicap example (1979 pp. 217-218).
What about equally satisfying needs?
Focal Variables, Spaces, Diversity.
Sen's two questions: Why equality? What equality? (Question 2- Kevin Dewan, Kelly Robbins).
Sen identifies two questions: (I) Why equality? and (II) Equality of what? How are these questions related? Why does Sen claim that "being an egalitarian is not really a 'uniting feature'"? (1992, p. 14)
Equality and internal plurality.
Focal variable can have an internal plurality (e.g. the demand for equality of freedom or capabilities may encompass different types of freedoms or capabilities respectively.
Human Diversity (Question 3- Gina Schouten, Wes Markofski).
Human diversity is a central theme in Sen's discussion of equality. He claims, "The ethics of equality has to take adequate note of our pervasive diversities that affect the relations between the different spaces. The plurality of focal variables can make a great difference precisely because of the diversity of human beings" (1992, p 28). How does human diversity present a challenge for egalitarianism?
The "tension" between equality and liberty.
Equality vs. Liberty is a faulty way of framing the issue.
When one asserts that liberty is fundamentally important questions concerning equality immediately arise (e.g. who? How much? How distributed? How equal?).
Liberty is seen as one possible focal variable for basal equality.
Tension can emerge between equality and liberty insofar as the equality advocate defends some other focal variable.
"Liberty is among the possible fields of application of equality and equality is among the possible patterns of distribution of liberty.
Does the notion of equality have substantive content?
General requirement of equality is substantive since it reflects a deep ethical concern for impartiality or "some form of basic concern."
Once the variable for equality is fixed, then that variable will have rather clear substantive demands regarding distributive patterns.
The diversity of spaces does not speak to the notion that "equality" is substantively empty, but rather reflects a deeper diversity with respect to objects of value.
Plurality, Incompleteness, and Evaluation
How can we evaluate distributions in terms of "complete" inequality?
This may be difficulty b/c of (1) the internal plurality of the chosen focal variable; or (2) differences in distance measures even w/ respect to homogeneous variables.
Capabilities, Efficiency, Aggregation.
Equality is not the only relevant grounds for assessment, we must also evaluate distributions in light of aggregative considerations.
Aggregative considerations- generally enhancing individual advantage, regardless of distribution.
"tend to have an irreducible status" (137).
Form that aggregative demands take may be shaped by the choice of equality space.
Distributive considerations- reducing disparities in the distribution.
Justifying inequality.
Equality is not the only demand and our judgments concerning social arrangements may be influenced by other considerations.
How can inequalities be justified?
Wrong space argument.
Incentive argument.
Inequality may be useful in encouraging work, enterprise and investment (142-143).
Operational asymmetry.
Inequalities may be justified b/c of the necessity of operational asymmetry (140).
Attainment vs. shortfall equality?
Question 4 (Jordon Rogers).
How does Sen respond to Rawls's objection "when individuals differ in 'moral and intellectual capacities and skills', there is nothing unfair or unjust in people with greater skills occupying influential positions and offices"? (1992, p. 145)
Rawls' open procedure may be justified, unless other procedures are more efficient (147).
Capabilities and Responsibility.
Focus on freedom to achieve rather than on actual achievements.
Capabilities, Freedom, and Well-Being(Question 5- Jeffrey Paller).
Sen claims, "The 'capability approach' has something to offer both to the evaluation of well-being and to the assessment of freedom" (1992, p. 150). What does the capabilities approach have to offer with respect to well-being and freedom?

Dustin Johnson: Paul McGinley asks former world No. 1 about Saudi league membership, says it could upset golf | Golf News
Paul McGinley
Golf columnist
Paul McGinley: "It will go down as a historic moment in the game. If this Saudi league picks up speed and challenges the two established circuits in the world, given the context and the very idea of team events, it could turn around golf upside down and on the head."
Last update: 06/01/22 11:47
Paul McGinley says Dustin Johnson's decision to take part in the opening event of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series could prove to be a "historic moment in the game".
Paul McGinley says Dustin Johnson's decision to take part in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series event highlights his potential to disrupt golf.
Former world number 1 Johnson will headline the new competition's inaugural event at the Centurion Club from June 9-11, just four months after committing to the PGA Tour.
Johnson is the biggest name yet to announce he will participate and faces penalties from the PGA, which has not granted members permission to play.
Former Ryder Cup-winning captain McGinley, who sits on the DP World Tour board, believes relations between the two tours have never been better and money can only be the motivation for any player committing to the LIV Series.
McGinley said Sky Sports News: "It will go down as a historic moment in the game. If this Saudi league picks up speed and challenges the two established circuits in the world, given the context and the very idea of team events, it could transform golf upside down and on the head.
The Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational series begins next week in Hertfordshire, with Johnson a surprise on-course inclusion
"We'll have to see how it goes. At this point [Johnson's] a single player, all of the best remaining players in the world have remained totally loyal to the PGA Tour. They feel they have some good there, and they did. Each week they play for a prize pool of $10-12 million with a top prize of over $2 million. They fly in private jets every week and return home every Sunday evening.
"The idea of this Saudi line in time is to take it around the world more often in a Formula 1 style. It's a big change from what they were doing."
Johnson was the only surprise inclusion for next week's event, where he will compete alongside Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia, Kevin Na and Martin Kaymer.
The winner will receive £3m out of a total prize pool of £20m.
The 2020 Masters champion was scheduled to play at the Canadian Open, which also begins next week.

"Johnson was a bit out of left field considering he pledged his loyalty to the PGA Tour just six weeks ago," McGinley said.
"He's at the height of his career. With all due respect to the other guys, they're at the twilight of their careers. Here's a guy who's very much considered one of the favorites whenever a major championship comes around. .
"It's a big step for him, a brave step, considering that all the other current top players in the world have stuck with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.
"In terms of the valves, we just have to wait and see what happens and how this Saudi league is going to develop, if the players decide this is a better option than what they've had for the past 50 years.
"It's not like they're doing badly on those tours either. We've put the biggest prize money in European Tour history on the table this year, and the PGA Tour has done something something similar.
"These guys are making a lot of money. The opportunity to make a lot more money obviously appealed to them and that's why they're going where they are."
Fitzpatrick: LIV Golf Series 'uninteresting' for now
Matt Fitzpatrick said his future is with the PGA Tour
Matt Fitzpatrick said his future remains with the PGA ahead of this week's Memorial Tournament, but he would have to reassess whether the LIV series becomes the main tour.
"Tiger [Woods] made a big point at the PGA the other day at his press conference. He's here to create legacies, win tournaments and win majors, and that's kind of – that's definitely where I'm at," Fitzpatrick said.
"And it was interesting, it was kind of, you know, I'll be honest, some tournaments where maybe I'm not necessarily in it, and I can't win, so I think, oh, you know , well , at least on the bright side, I won that much this week after the tournament was over.
"I came out of the US PGA and I literally didn't care what I won that week. I was just disgusted that I didn't win. I had a chance and I didn't take it. , and that kind of I've said a lot about myself. That's all I'm worried about here.
"You want to have records. I want to win tournaments, and for me, that's why right now the LIV Golf genre doesn't interest me."
However, the Englishman hasn't completely ruled out a move and admitted that if the tour is to become the main attraction he would have to reassess where he competes.
"Five years from now, if all of a sudden it becomes the main tour, then obviously you rethink your options," he said.
"But right now, yeah, I'm here to make sure I give myself the best chance to win tournaments, win major tournaments and continue my career like this, really."

The Biobank works mainly on a prospective collection basis allowing the collections for both Researchers and Commercial Companies to be tailored to meet their individual request specifications. The Biobank has already received applications from Researchers and Companies covering a wide range of sample types and are working with them and the relevant Directorates across the Trust to collect the tissue.
The CEPA Biobank has been created as a Trust initiative in response to requests from CommercialCompanies and Researchers for access to a supply of good quality tissue with anonymised clinical information for Quality Control/Assurance and Research purposes. The creation of the CEPA Biobank has addressed any previous concerns by embedding in its structure the safeguards and monitoring required by the Trust, giving it the reassurance needed on the appropriateness of the collection and release of tissue to commercial companies and researchers.
At the onset, discussions were held with patients and the public and from these meetings, the overall conclusion was a positive outcome to go forward with this proposal and that being open and transparent was the way to accomplish this. From discussions with patients and Trust staff, it was repeated that tissue should be provided to researchers and/or commercial companies on a cost recovery basis. The tissue itself is a gift and no charge can be made for it and donors will not be recompensed. The Biobank will charge to fully recover the costs of collecting, processing, storing and transporting these samples, investing in the running of the Biobank and supporting research.
The reputation, professionalism of staff at all levels, along with the high standards of the Trust, will make this Biobank an invaluable resource. The commercial and research collaborations will benefit the healthcare of patients, researchers and companies.

Tyrel Burton
Having been raised in a household with a family business in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tyrel started to work in the family business on weekends from a young age. He appreciated the hard work and dedication it takes to manage and grow a successful family venture and it's always been his dream to do the same.
In 2004, Tyrel took a sabbatical from pursuing his dream to be in business for himself in a family business. He knew in order to be successful in business in the 21st Century, it would be important to obtain a formal education & foundation in owning and operating a business. Shortly after completing his studies at the University of Manitoba, Tyrel moved to Vancouver in 2006 and enrolled in the Chartered Accountant program at one of the largest accounting firms in Canada.
After practicing as a Chartered Accountant for a number of years, Tyrel felt that the "Corporate" environment of a large international accounting firm lacked the personal touch he was used to while working at his family's business in Winnipeg.
So, following his dream, Tyrel decided to search out new opportunities. Through family, he was introduced to the owner of Alternatives in 2012. He felt an instant connection to the "family feel" and founding principles of Alternatives and knew then that his career path was about to change. By mid-2013 Tyrel had joined Alternatives as Managing Director.
On Tuesday, August 1st, 2017, while celebrating Alternatives 25th anniversary, Tyrel purchased the companies and is the new owner of Alternatives.
When he does find time outside the office, he enjoys travelling with his wife, Laine, and exploring his home community in North Vancouver.

A Body Language a negyedik dal a brit Queen rockegyüttes 1982-es Hot Space albumáról. A szerzője Freddie Mercury énekes volt.

A Hot Space azon számainak egyike volt, amelyeket a legjobban befolyásolt az amerikai fekete zene, a funk és a diszkó hatása. A felvételek során Mercury és John Deacon basszusgitáros ezeket a modern hangzású dalokat favorizálták, míg Brian May gitáros és Roger Taylor dobos az együttes régi stílusát kedvelték – ebből aztán több vita is volt a felvételeken. Háttérbe szorult az élő zene jelentősége, programozott szintetizátorral játszották fel a basszusgitár és dob hangzást. A dal 4/4-es, Esz dúrban íródott, és viszonylag gyors, percenkénti 132-es a ritmusa.

A dal szövege nagyon minimalista, Mercury három-négy mondatot ismételget, amelyek között kevés összefüggés van. A szöveg erősen szexuális tartalmú – ezt akarták kihangsúlyozni a dalhoz forgatott videóklippel is –, és általános vélekedések szerint Mercury homoszexuális vágyaihoz kapcsolódik. May szerint: "Jól emlékszem Freddie merészségére, mert jó pár dal, amit írt, nagyon határozottan meleg volt. Emlékszem, azt mondta, »Szép lenne, ha ez a cucc univerzálisan értelmezhető lenne, mert vannak barátaink mindenféle irányultsággal.« Szép dolog így bevonni az embereket. Ami nem szép, ha kizárjuk az őket. És én valamiféle kiközösítettséget éreztem egy ennyire egyértelműen meleg himnusz után, mint a »Body Language«."

1982. április 19-én kislemezen is megjelent, és harsányan jelezte a rajongók előtt, hogy milyen zenére számíthatnak a Hot Space albumon. Angliában csak a huszonötödik helyet érte el, de meglepetés siker lett Amerikában, ahol a tizenegyedik lett a slágerlistán. A kislemez borítója a klipből ragadott ki egy képet, egy háton fekvő meztelen férfit, és egy rajta fekvő meztelen nőt ábrázolt. Ahogyan a klipben, úgy a borítón sem volt látható közvetlen szeméremsértő jelenet, az együttes amerikai kiadója, az Elektra Records mégsem mert kockáztatni vele, ezért az ottani kiadás egyszínű kék borítót kapott. A kritikusok általában kedvezően írtak róla, a Sounds szerint "Jó, hangzásilag kiegyensúlyozott felvétel, a diszkókban nagy sláger lesz", míg egy másik lap így összegezte a véleményét: "Azóta nem volt ilyen felháborító a Queen, mióta azok a hölgyek bicikliztek. A borítótól eltekintve, ez egy kiváló kislemez. Nem hiszem, hogy Mary Whitehouse-nak tetszeni fog." A Rolling Stone viszont "nem túl szórakoztató funk számnak" nevezte, a Stylus szerint pedig "Bekerült az amerikai Top 20-ba, annak ellenére, hogy nem áll másból, mint programozott dallamhurokból, kevés billentyűssel megfűszerezve, miközben Freddie azt rikoltozza: "GIVE ME YOUR BODY! SEXY BOD-AY!" Rendkívül mókás (tetszenek a furcsa, petárdaszerű effektusok is), de nélkülözi az album többi dalának súlyát."

A dalhoz készített klipet Brian Grant rendezte, teljes mértékben Mercury ötletei alapján. Az énekes elképzelését némileg árnyalta a "fentről érkezett" utasítás, hogy bizonyos csupasz testrészeket el kell fedni, innen jött a bőrre festett színes nyilak ötlete. A statisztákat Los Angelesben toborozták, majd átrepültették őket Torontóba, ahol a filmet felvették. Mercury kívánságára a híres Los Angeles-i táncos, Tony Fields is szerepelt a klipben. A túlzott meztelenség miatt végül az MTV nem sugározta. Ritkán, de játszották az 1982-es Hot Space turnén, annak is inkább az amerikai állomásain.

"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." — James Madison.
Update 4-1-14, an interesting date on several levels, anyway: Only the first ten amendments are constitutional, according to the original intent constitution. The original constitution has major flaws – making slaves 3/5ths of a person for example, slavery for a couple. The way to deal with slavery was to save the original intent (historical context) was to simply strike it from the Constitution, thereby the historical context of ALL people are EQUAL, and no majority, or government should ever have more rights than the individual. Instead the PTB at the time added the color 'descriptive' amendment, and opening up a MASSIVE list of less equals to be used at their leisure. The original intent Constitution is the Constitution with the necessary Bill of Rights, to which I swore an oath to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. But, it's a tad more than that, it's a way of life, prosperity, joy, and thriving. Your rights end at the tip of my nose, just as my rights end at the tip of yours. Don't start no sh!t, wont' get no sh!t. Or, Get The F!ck Out! Just Take your sh!t down the road. It's not rocket science philosophy. Cause no intentional harm – real crime, not like victimless crimes, even against life saving plants – live and let live. No 'gods' required.
James Madison, "Father of The Constitution", and all of the signers of The Constitution were adamant, or in agreement with the historical background interpretation. Without a historical background interpretation, our Constitutional Founders could not give The People their inalienable rights and protection from their own government. They made sure their intent was known via various quotes, manuscripts and Preambles.
Yet, these predominately learned lawyers of this klepto-nazi'cratic government, don't have a clue on how to interpret "this Constitution". Where do the 'other interpretations' http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_intr.html enter "this Constitution". There are no ratified others in 'this' Constitution.
Wow, I must be brilliant! When it seems so clear to me while all these lawyers are confused. Are my readers confused? Does it sound very complex? The framers of the Constitution say, the Constitution must be interpreted by historical background. Our present day klepto'crats know exactly what interpretation is the only verified Constitutional Interpretation that they must use and have sworn an oath to that effect, but, alas, oops, that's the only one they don't like. Any of the others keep the state/fed 'crats fat, while the Historical Background Interpretation cuts them back Tremendously in Power and Size.
I wonder why the Preamble is no longer part of the Bill of Rights when distributed by this government? All these coincidences, who could figure? What were the odds? Who knew? Seems they seem to know well enough what to keep out of The People's view, apparently, the press has become confused also. Shouldn't the press insist on the full legal document? What are the odds? . I wonder, since it is disappearing from government documents, press releases, etc., has it disappeared from the government's school books?
How have the 'crats become so powerful? From decades and years of CIA information gained on trying to take over other governments. From decades and years of hiding and classifying information from The People. From decades and years of bogus various illegitimate "interpretations" that have absolutely no place in "this Constitution".
The route of "various interpretations" of the Constitution is The Root of all government abuses against The People.
These scam, gee, we just can't figure out 'which interpretation' http://www.constitution.org/cons/prin_cons.htm to use is the source of power of this government's abuses against it's Own People. There is only one interpretation. There can be no others. Any other interpretations are Tyranny. The Historical Background interpretation is the only acceptable interpretation. It gives The People back their Rights and Power. It takes unauthorized power and stolen Rights from this klepto-nazi'crat government. More clearly, for all those fighting for your individual battles, against one of the 'burrow' agencies, remember, that agency can draw on the resources of an entire government. Focus on the root, the Tap Root, the theft of the Historical Background Interpretation from the text, is the lever that destroyed this Republic. You can struggle against the branches forever, for the root of tyranny will just grow another using your body for nourishment. It is this root that must be destroyed, for it is the route of nourishment to the 'crat illegitimate government's abuses on The People.
In the 'route' is the cure.
All Laws/Agency Rules/etc., et al., Must Be Interpreted Under The Historical Background Interpretation of The Constitution.
Many millions realize they are choosing between a rat or a snake in a hen house in a fixed 'thin air vote count' of black box voting, and don't vote. Many millions that realize a similar comparison, try to decide which is the lesser of The People's parasites, and vote in a 'fixed lottery' http://rense.com/general80/tix.htm on many levels https://edwardmd.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/fixed-vote-no-vote-i-will-not-assist-thin-air-vote-counting/ , giving legitimacy to the farce of an 'election'.
Many millions more vote for anyone but the 2 parties of 'crats which are nothing more than two sides of the same coin, and give their approval to the scam of voting. Many millions do not even know they are entitled to the Rights of "this" Constitution that have now been 'bastardized' to the point that rights simply do not exist in a nation controlled by murderous fascists in desperate need of Constitutional trials and accountability.
Virtually all of the atrocities of government are solved by the Historical Background Interpretation of the Constitution. The few problems that remain can then be addressed. It's in the details that there are problems. Let the details be damned. The People are in desperate need of their Rights.
Unfortunately, the people have arrived at their last bastion of defense from a fascist government. The people themselves. In retrospect, it is the only defense we have ever really had. Wake up, Boycotts and Work Strikes. It is simply the safest. most effective and PROVEN way to break a fascist government. The only actions that have ever been able to be effective against 'homegrown government fascism'. It is a painful but effective remedy, but requires sacrifice, courage and action that must be free of 'controlled opposition leadership'. Then and only then, can Constitutional trials and accountability for treason and crimes against humanity be done.
Mad As Hell 2? Boycotts and Work Strikes are the only things that have worked against 'homegrown' government fascism.

Ferrari hasn't fielded a turbo since it stopped building the F40 hypercar back in 1992. That changes in March when the car maker premières its mid-front-engine, retractable hard top berlinetta California T at the Geneva Motor Show. With the T standing for Turbo, the new California Grand Touring sports car has been redesigned to mark the occasion by the Ferrari Style Center and Pininfarina with aerodynamics to match the new powerplant.
Weighing in at 1,625 kg (3.582 lb), the California T has the same dimensions as the previous California. Ferrari says that it went for classically-inspired influences, while borrowing the pontoon-fender styling of the 250 Testa Rossa. The grille is a bit lower and has been given a redesign to give it a bit more aggression, which is nicely balanced by the intakes for the turbo intercooler.
There's also a more blended bonnet feeding into a stronger collection of lines in the profile. Meanwhile, the boxy rear is a much more interesting collection of lines culminating in the subtle boot spoiler lip and the new triple-fence diffuser. And then there's the California T's real party trick – a retractable hardtop that vanishes in 14 seconds.
Mounted very low in the chassis is a new 3.8-liter, V8 turbo engine with direct fuel injection and very low inertia, twin-scroll turbines re-designed by Maranello and building on Scuderia Ferrari's experience with the F14 T's power unit. To reassure drivers who worry that the turbo might make the California T less responsive, Ferrari says that there's zero turbo lag because of its Variable Boost Management that adapts the torque curve to each gear change through the dual-clutch F1 flappy-paddle gearbox.
The upshot of all this is that the California T cranks 552 bhp (412 kW) and 556 ft-lb (755 Nm) of torque while putting out a growl that, according to Ferrari, is the most intense of any turbo. Top speed is 196 mph (316 km/h) and the car hits 0 to 100 km (62 mph) in a nice 3.6 seconds.
Behind the powerplant is a Magneride suspension with body-motion accelerometers to reduce roll and pitch, a new steering box that reduces steering wheel activity to improve responsiveness, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes. Ferrari also says that fuel consumption has improved by 15 percent to 10.5 l/100 km and carbon dioxide emissions are reduced to 250 g/km thanks to the turbocharging.
The semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior of the California T has the same 2+ seating as its predecessor. Even the rear passengers get to sit in cockpits, though there's (no surprise) hardly any leg room.
The Ferrari California T is currently priced at around £155,000 (US$258,000).

Q: Item Option (Parameter / Switch) in Backup-SPFarm & Restore SP-Farm for Multi-Tenant SharePoint 2013 Farm I have a SharePoint 2013 Multi-Tenant Farm. Every tenant has a dedicated Content DB. I am trying to backup a particular Tenant using the following command, found in the Understanding multi-tenancy in SharePoint Server 2013. But, in that, I am not sure about the Item option.
Backup-SPFarm -Directory "c:\backups\alpha" -Item "HostingFarm_Content_Hosting" -BackupMethod Full

Also, while restoring, I am not sure, what to provide for the Item parameter in the following command. Also, the article above doesn't mention, whether this restore will work like a DB restore, wherein, the restore can be done even w/o creating a DB or we need to create a tenant first to be able to restore by overwriting it. Can anyone please explain?
