The team was awesome, the technology was world class, and the overall direction and support we got from the Bosse team was A+."

"Last year our company was in need of a videographer for a corporate event we were hosting in Boston. After reaching out to a few different production companies, we decided to work with Ron and his team. I can't emphasize how glad I am that we made that decision. From conception to execution and everything in between, Bosse Studios was there. Their level of professionalism and their quality of work is immeasurable. If you are looking for someone to handle videography at your next event, look no further than Bosse Studios. "

We have used them for the past four years and have always been happy with what they deliver. They are easy to work with and look out for your best interests."
"We reached out to Ron and Trina Bosse and their team at the recommendation of Innosight, and were delighted with the result. We proposed a complex project, complete with international interviews and a tight timeline, and Bosse Studios did not disappoint. From the start, I was impressed with their grasp of how to leverage a video presentation to add impact to an event, as well as their high standards for video production and their expert guidance on strategy. Their responsiveness to requests and the quick turn-around on deliverables was remarkable, but what truly stood out was their ability to create a powerful, engaging story through the synthesis of interviews, supplemental footage, and music."
Our team is comprised of seasoned audio engineers, videographers, photographers, designers and web developers with a passion for creativity.

Snow will overspread the Finger Lakes and last much of the day. Click image to enlarge.
Moderate to heavy snow over the eastern Finger Lakes will spread west throughout the morning, with most of the region experiencing snow throughout today.At 6:30am, here in Groton, over 4″ of snow had already fallen with heavy snow and gusty winds ongoing. Similar conditions are spreading west as low pressure near Boston stalls out and the precipitation over central New York pivots.
Because the precipitation will pivot more than it will actually move, areas in the eastern Finger Lakes that already have accumulations will continue to see snow well into the afternoon.
This storm is finally starting to live up to its forecasts. I have no changes to the snow map I put out last night, but if I did, they would probably be increases in snow amounts for some areas. All in all, I am finally feeling confident and good about my forecasts.
The storm is here- or it is coming. Avoid travel if you can today, as road conditions will likely only get worse across most of the Finger Lakes.
Please comment with how much snow you receive! Your reports help me verify my forecasts, which in turn helps me produce better products!
Just shoveled about 6-8″ from porch and driveway at my house in Lansing. More snow here than in Ithaca.
Steady 'light' snow toward Lansing and just off of Route 13. Starting to accumulate, now. Windy. Watched the rain turn into flurries early this morning, so am imagining ice under unplowed streets. Drifts.
Just before 9:00 AM I measured about 4-1/4″ at my place in W. Groton.
Drinking coffee in Caton and looking out on light snow starting to fall, the wind blowing last nights dusting off the roof and the grass peaking through on the ground, so less than .5 inch so far.
We have about 2″ in the higher elevations of Newfield and it's very windy.
Lot's of sad kids in Ithaca (no snow day). Blowing hard but maybe a 1/4 inch on the ground at Cornell.
We have possibly 1/2″ in the flats in Ithaca at this point, and it's quite windy.
We have less than an inch currently down here in Erin in Chemung County. Its quite windy but there is only a tiny flurry of snow coming down at the moment.


God Starts 2013 Off With a Prophetic Atom Bomb!
This is a HUGE event in prophecy. Bringing a "Lost Tribe" back to Israel is like an A-Bomb in the prophetic world! Glory to God.
TEL AVIV – A "lost tribe" has come home to Israel and the return could be part of biblical prophecy.
CBN News was at Ben Gurion Airport when more than 50 members of the Bnei Menashe tribe made history.
The group was just the first of a long-awaited migration. Nearly 2,000 tribe members live in Israel, but five years ago the government stopped their return.
The Lord our God has promised to bring His people, the Jews, back to His land. For the Lord to kick off 2013 with a "Lost Tribe" returning to His land is a prophetic event and fulfillment of massive proportions It's as if the Lord is shouting from the heavens, "you haven't seen anything yet, this year will be a year to remember!" What a way to start 2013!
Israel for whatever reason stopped the return of this lost tribe for over two years. God, however, opened the door for His people to return. What God promises He completes! This is just one more proof that the Lord always honors His Word and Promises. This also is evidence to all the scoffers that God is moving powerfully today and His return is very near.
Please read the prophecy in Isaiah, it will bless you and thrill you. Click Here to read it now.
I am so excited about this development that it's hard to write this report. I'm actually quaking at this news. I can't wait to see what our God shows us in this new year. I am looking forward to His developments with great anticipation!
Please join with me and give a literal shout of praise to the Lord for this miracle that He performed in our generation for all who love Him to see. Praise the Lord one and all!
Keep looking up because Messiah's return is at the door!

Columbia River PUD is a People's Utility District, which is a type of special district, similar to a school district or a fire district.
The PUD is locally owned and operated. Voters within the PUD's service territory select a five-member Board of Directors that sets rates and policies for the utility.
As a community-owned utility, the PUD is part of a public power family that also includes electric cooperatives and municipal utilities.
Here are some of the differences between community-owned and investor-owned utilities.
Not For Profit: Community-owned utilities are not-for-profit entities that exist to provide essential services like electricity and water to their customers.
Cost-Based Rates: Most community-owned utilities, including the PUD, charge cost-based rates. They only raise rates when necessary to provide safe and reliable service for customers.
Local Control: Community-owned utilities are governed by locally elected boards or commissions. Boards are elected by constituents to set rates and policies. We call this "local control," and it gives customers a voice in how their utility operates.
For Profit: Investor-owned utilities are for-profit corporations that make profits for shareholders by providing essential services such as water or electricity.
Profit-Based Rates: Investor-owned utilities build a profit margin for shareholders into their rates. This is one reason that the rates charged by investor-owned utilities are often higher.
Shareholder and PUC Control:Investor-owned utilities are governed by private boards of directors. State utility commissions (PUCs) set their rates. Directors are elected by the shareholders.
The Northwest has about 120 publicly owned utilities, serving about half of the population.
There are three types of public power utilities: municipal systems, which are governed by the cities they serve; cooperatives, which are private, non-profit corporations governed by their members; and PUDs, special districts formed by a vote of the people they serve.
9 of the 10 lowest cost utilities in Oregon are public utilities.
In Oregon, PUDs are governed by a five-member Board of Directors that is elected by the voters in the PUD's service area. The Board of Directors sets rates based upon the cost of providing service. The PUD's power supply is generally provided by BPA at rates that are less than any of Oregon's private utility rates. The PUD passes these lower rates on to customers. The Board is also responsible for hiring professional managers and staff to operate the utility.
The Board of Directors is elected to represent the local community, and holds regular meetings which are open to the public. PUD customers can also vote to authorize debt (bond sales) to finance the purchase or modification of the district's facilities.

Things to look out for
How Bassetlaw can help
Register your interest in self build and custom build
Bassetlaw District Council supports innovative solutions which deliver new homes to the district. Here you will find out about what Bassetlaw District Council is doing to support people interested in designing or building their own home.
As required by the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015, and Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Register) Regulations 2016, Bassetlaw District Council holds a register of individuals, and associations of individuals, who are seeking to acquire serviced plots of land in the authority's area, in order to build dwellings to occupy as their homes. As well as personal information and contact details, the register also captures the type, size and location preference which is helps the council when assessing demand and advising developers.
How Can the Register help you?
The Register is an option intended to ease the route-in for self-builders by removing the complexities of installing services and seeking planning approval (planning permission would be provided 'in principle' for 'services plots'). However, there are some limitations of the regulations that could mean the Register is not the best route for all.

The NHL players were not the only ones with a Skills Competition this past weekend!
Our gung ho D7 players hit the ice and participated in their own version of the big event, including fastest lap, accurate passing and target shots, agility skate and skill handling drills.
The Nighthawks each took a turn showcasing their skills that they have been working on all season, and gave their crowd of fans an exciting afternoon.
If this event is any indiction of this groups future successes, the Nighthawks are going to be represented very well!
Kudos to the coaches for organizing such a fun, team building event for your players. Hockey is about so much more than practices and games and your crew has been embracing the FUN all season, and building life long hockey players because of it!

Amor à vida (traduzione italiana: Amore alla vita) è una telenovela brasiliana prodotta da TV Globo. Il soggetto è opera di Walcyr Carrasco, e i registi sono Mauro Mendonça Filho e Wolf Maya.
In Brasile è stata trasmessa a partire dal 20 maggio 2013 come telenovela delle nove.

Trama
Amor à Vida racconta le vicende della famiglia Khoury, che possiede una clinica a San Paolo chiamata San Magno. La famiglia è composta dai coniugi Cesar e Pilar, e dai figli Felix e Paloma.

Prima fase
2001. La storia gira intorno alle dispute presenti in una ricca famiglia per il controllo del rinomato ospedale San Magno, a San Paolo. La clinica appartiene alla famiglia Khoury, ed è gestita dal medico Cesar Khoury. Quasi tutta la famiglia è formata da medici: la moglie di Cesar, Pilar, è una dermatologa in pensione e Paloma, la figlia più piccola, sta tentando di entrare nella facoltà di medicina, dopo aver fallito nell'entrare in altre facoltà. Solo Félix, il figlio maggiore, non ha una vocazione per la medicina, ma è molto ambizioso. Poiché non è riuscito a diventare medico, si è laureato in amministrazione aziendale, per poter dirigere l'ospedale di famiglia, e pianifica di impadronirsene. Félix è nasconde la sua omosessualità attraverso un matrimonio d'apparenza con la stilista Edith.
Per festeggiare l'entrata di Paloma alla facoltà, la famiglia fa un viaggio a Machu Picchu, in Perù, e qui la giovane conosce Ninho. Questi è un ragazzo che ha deciso di adottare uno stile di vita libero da ogni regola, e Paloma si innamora di lui. A causa dei conflitti con sua madre, la ragazza decide di lasciare la famiglia e partire con Ninho. I due intraprendono per un anno un viaggio senza sosta per tutto il Sudamerica, vivendo un'intensa passione, fino a quando la ragazza non scopre di essere incinta. Senza denaro e pensando alla nascita del bebè, Paloma decide di tornare a San Paolo dai suoi genitori, e convince Ninho ad andare con lui.
Per pagare il viaggio, Ninho è costretto a trasportare droga, che la polizia ritrova sui suoi effetti personali in un aeroporto in Bolivia.
Paloma torna da sola a San Paolo, e può contare solo sul fratello Félix, che la convince a nascondere la gravidanza.
Davanti ai genitori, la ragazza riesce a camuffare la sua gravidanza grazie a dei vestiti di Edith. Negli ultimi giorni della gravidanza, Ninho esce di prigione grazie alla collaborazione di Félix, che vuole liberarsi della sorella e del nipote per essere l'unico erede della famiglia.
Paloma, andando a casa sua insieme a Ninho, viene sorpresa dai genitori che scoprono la sua gravidanza nascosta. Dopo aver litigato con sua madre, Paloma passa la notte in un bar insieme al suo ragazzo. Qui tra i due scoppia una lite, poiché Ninho non intende formare una famiglia. Successivamente, lei partorisce da sola una bambina, con l'aiuto di Marcia. Félix, saputo dov'era la sorella da un taxista, entra nel bagno del bar dove vede Paloma e suo figlio riposare mentre aspettano un'ambulanza chiamata da Marcia.
Sentendosi minacciato dalla nuova erede dei Khoury, Félix sequestra la bambina e la getta in una pattumiera, mentre Paloma è addormentata. Paloma, quando si sveglia, non vede sua figlia, ed è convinta che sia stata misteriosamente sequestrata senza lasciare tracce. Il destino di Paloma si congiunge con quello di Bruno, un uomo che ha perso la moglie Luana ed il figlio a causa di complicazioni nel parto. Scioccato per la perdita, Bruno incontra per strada la figlia di Paloma. Lui vede la bambina come un segno divino per iniziare una nuova vita, e decide di portarla a casa. Per evitare delle pratiche burocratiche per l'adozione, con la collaborazione di sua madre Ordalia, infermiera alla San Magno e dell'ostetrica Glauce, falsifica il registro. Quindi Luana, secondo i registri, ha partorito due bambini, e l'esito è stato la morte della madre e del bambino e la sopravvivenza della bambina. Di questo segreto è a conoscenza anche Félix, infatti Glauce falsifica i registri, rischiando il licenziamento, solo per amore verso di lui. Tra Bruno, Ordalia e Glauce viene fatto un patto: nessuno dei tre dovrà svelare questo segreto.

Seconda fase
2013. Passano 12 anni, e Paloma ha chiuso per sempre con Ninho. Ha deciso di seguire le orme dei genitori intraprendendo la carriera medica. Adesso lavora come pediatra nell'ospedale di famiglia, e tratta i suoi piccoli pazienti come suoi figli per compensare la perdita di sua figlia. Paloma crede che sua figlia sia ancora viva, e ha la speranza di ritrovarla un giorno. Lei non sa che la figlia scomparsa è proprio una sua paziente più cara: Paula, una bambina molto dolce ed intelligente. Paloma tratta Paula come se fosse sua figlia, ed ha un particolare affetto per lei, in quanto ha la stessa età che dovrebbe avere sua figlia. La dottoressa ha conosciuto la ragazzina anni prima, quando è stata ricoverata, ed ha conosciuto anche Bruno, suo padre. Con Bruno nasce un feeling che ben presto diventa amore, che gode dell'approvazione di Paula.
Per Bruno, Paloma e Paula sembra andare tutto bene e sono felici, fino a quando un giorno Ninho decide di tornare in Brasile per recuperare Paloma.
Paula si ammala di una grave malattia, ed Paloma è l'unica che le può donare un organo a causa della sua compatibilità con la bambina. Ciò fa sospettare a Paloma che Paula sia sua figlia, quindi decide di effettuare un esame del DNA, che risulta positivo. Paloma, insieme a Ninho, chiede al tribunale l'affidamento della bambina, e crede che Bruno abbia sequestrato sua figlia, perciò inizia a provare un grande odio per lui. Ma alla fine l'amore prevale sull'odio. Paloma non immagina affatto che in realtà a sequestrare sua figlia è stato suo fratello Félix.
Intanto le viene rifiutato l'affido esclusivo di Paula grazie all'abilità dell'avvocatessa di Bruno: Silvia. Ed a impedire il ricongiungimento tra madre e figlia c'è anche Félix, sapendo che Paula potrebbe essere l'erede dei beni della famiglia Khoury.
Intanto il matrimonio tra César e Pilar viene rovinato da Aline, la nuova segretaria del medico. Aline è una giovane ed attraente donna, ma anche astuta, che seduce César per vendicarsi della sua famiglia, considerandola la causa di tutte le sue disgrazie.

Trame parallele
La telenovela racconta anche della famiglia di Pilar: Amadeu, suo fratello, con difficoltà finanziarie e con una figlia autistica, Linda. La madre di Pilar e Amadeu è Bernanda, un'umile donna che porta rancore contro suo genero Cesar a causa di un antico segreto di famiglia, avrà una storia d'amore nonostante la vecchiaia col Dr. Lutero, un medico un tempo famoso indeciso tra continuare o tra andare in pensione, a causa del calo delle sue prestazioni professionali. L'altra figlia di Amadeu è Leila, donna che ambisce a diventare ricca e a liberarsi della sua famiglia fallita. Leila diventa la segretaria personale di sua zia Pilar, ed avrà una storia d'amore con Thales, un umile scrittore di romanzi che non ha le stesse ambizioni della fidanzata.
Nicole è una giovane bella e fragile, erede della grande fortuna dei suoi genitori defunti, e senza parenti. Lavorava in Europa, e torna a San Paolo dopo la morte dei genitori, in un palazzo, insieme alla cameriera ed amica Lidia. Nicole è ingenua, si sente molto sola, e sogna di vivere un grande amore. Pilar, amica dei genitori di Nicole, la invita a cena per presentarla alla sua famiglia. Leila si approccia a Nicole fingendo di essere sua amica, ma in realtà è interessata solo ad avere dei vantaggi materiali dalla giovane milionaria. Nicole conosce Thales, il fidanzato dei Leila, e dal primo incontro nasce una attrazione tra i due. Nicole inizia una relazione amorosa con Thales, e crede di aver incontrato finalmente il grande amore della sua vita. A Thales piace Nicole, ma ancora prova una attrazione fisica per Leila. Thales ha una relazione spirituale con Nicole, ma mantiene una relazione sessuale con Leila. Tutto inizia a cambiare quando Nicole scopre di essere affetta da un tipo di leucemia in stato avanzato, e che le rimangono pochi mesi di vita. Leila considera ciò come una opportunità per diventare ricca, ed elabora un piano diabolico: Thales si sposa con Nicole, e dopo la morte di lei, lui eredita tutte le ricchezze della moglie. Nicole e Thales si sposano, ma durante la cerimonia in chiesa, Lidia rivela il tradimento di Thales con Lidia, quindi la sposa muore a causa di un attacco cardiaco. Thales si sentirà colpevole della morte di Nicole, e sarà tormentato dal suo spirito.
Marcia, colei che ha fatto partorire Paloma in un bar, adesso lavora vendendo hot dog abusivamente. Lei ambisce a vivere una vita diversa, e in questo è aiutata dalla figlia Valdirene, che farà di tutto per farsi lasciare incinta da famosi giocatori o cantanti per diventare ricca.
Patricia è una ragazza moderna ed indipendente che tiene molto alla sua libertà, dopo aver subito un vero e proprio trauma, essendo stata tradita dal marito Guto durante la luna di miele. Tuttavia, inizia ad interessarsi a Michel, un medico endocrinologo seduttore che intratterrà con lei una relazione di sesso occasionale, che non dura molto a lungo. Tutto cambia quando Silvia, moglie di Michel e avvocato competente, che ha fatto una pausa di riflessione col marito, ritorna e si rende conto di averlo perso. Successivamente, Silvia scopre di avere un tumore al seno, e quindi Michel si riavvicinerà a lei per confortarla ed aiutarla. Invece Patricia riceve visite indesiderate dall'ex marito Guto, che è ancora innamorato di lei.
La migliore amica di Patricia è Persefone, una infermiera che soffre per essere ancora vergine alla sua età, e tenta per questo di incontrare un partner ideale per una prima volta. Dopo vari tentativi falliti, lei incontra Daniel, un altro figlio di Amadeu, ma lui preferisce rimanere vergine fino alla luna di miele. Inoltre, la relazione non è approvata dalla famiglia di Daniel, essendo Persefone in sovrappeso.
Atilio era il responsabile della contabilità del San Magno, ma ha scoperto che Felix stava organizzando un grosso colpo nell'ospedale. Subisce un incidente, causato da Felix, ma sopravvive, pur avendo perso la memoria, e non ricordando più nulla della sua vita precedente. Disorientato, Atilio fugge senza lasciare notizie di sé, suscitando la paura di Felix che possa tornargli la memoria. Lui conosce Marcia e se ne innamora, ma il giorno in cui la sposa, gli ritorna la memoria. Atilio sceglie di ricattare Felix piuttosto che rivelare la verità a Cesar. Intanto Gigi, la prima moglie di Atilio, cerca un modo per arricchirsi e per non restare una donna fallita.
Nel quartiere di Marcia vive Ordália, la madre di Bruno, una infermiera del San Magno sposata con Denisard. Oltre a Bruno, lei ha altri tre figli: Gina, figlia di Ordalia e di un altro uomo, donna umile che farà di tutto per conoscere il suo vero padre; Carlito, che non ha un lavoro fisso ed avrà una storia con Valdirene da cui avrà un figlio; ed infine Luciano, giovane studente di medicina che ha difficoltà economiche per pagare la facoltà, di innamora della infermiera Joana, con cui avrà una storia d'amore vittima di preconcetti a causa della differenza d'età.
La trama racconta anche della storia d'amore tra Niko ed Eron, una coppia gay che pianifica di avere un figlio tramite l'inseminazione artificiale.. Per questo, si rivolge ad Amarilys, che si innamorerà di Eron, formando un triangolo amoroso poco convenzionale.
Le altre storie sono quelle di Persio e Rebeca, che sono in contrasto a causa delle differenze etno-religiose, ma che poi si innamoreranno.

I wrote an article on my NYC food website about the city's 85 best dishes and desserts. Below is my top 10, along with photos, videos and reviews from well known food critics.
"The best burger in America is not easy to get. But sweet Jesus this thing is great...it is worth going early and going alone to eat Raoul's burger. And here is why. After ten years of rigorous hamburger puritanism, and an rancorous animosity towards any burger that isn't topped with American cheese and doesn't come on a white squishy bun, I have at last been won over by a gourmet specialty burger. Powered by a potent, piquant au poivre sauce, a separate au poivre mayonnaise, a sweet, brisket-heavy LaFrieda blend, topped with a little yarmulke of triple-cream St. Andre cheese, wilted watercress, cornichons, and served on the most delicate of challah buns, this is, in my opinion anyway, the must-have burger of 2014.
"Several times sitting at Dizengoff's curving red counter I've heard customers exclaim, "This is the best hummus I've ever tasted!" And I wondered, "Could it really be the best?
...The flavor is limited to a single strong and lingering note: cumin. The texture is fluffy; almost unbelievably so. In fact, as you sit mopping it from the inside of your black plastic container with a torn fragment of pita, it threatens to detach itself and ascend to the ceiling. Yes, it's the best hummus in town.
By itself, hummus would forever remain a condiment or a side dish. So what goes in the middle for your further dipping pleasure is of supreme importance...Five hummus variations priced from $10 to $13 are available, but part of the genius of the place is that the roster is always shifting, making a visit to Dizengoff a culinary adventure.
"One of the singular pleasures of eating out in New York City in the early years of the new century is the arrival of a plate of steaming beef-cheek ravioli at Babbo, Mario Batali's flagship restaurant on Waverly Place in Greenwich Village.
The delicate pasta triangles glisten beneath a velvety sauce made of crushed squab liver livened with capers and anchovies. Soft shavings of pecorino Romano wilt in the sauce's heat. At the pressure of a fork, the dough gives way to the soft, buttery ooze of a melting beef interior, and the scent of Sunday gravy travels up from the plate on a magic carpet of shaved black truffles.
"The two blocks to Central Park with your hot cookies are possibly the longest walk you will experience...I saw cookie casualties everywhere, people who couldn't make the three blocks and instead sprawled themselves on strangers' stoops.
"I've been lucky enough to travel all over Italy. I'm talking forming-gnocci-with-the-back-of-a-fork-in-nonna's-mountain-kitchen Italy. But the best bowl of pasta I've ever had was in Manhattan.
The Fusili with Baby Octopus and Bone Marrow that Chef Michael White serves at his Central Park South restaurant Marea is--can I say it?--genius. Yes, genius. Because the binder that brings the hand-rolled pasta, the San Marzano tomatoes, and the red wine-braised baby octopus together is none other than bone marrow. (Serious Eats details how it's done in The Making of Michael White's Fusilli at Marea.) The pasta is topped with mollica (Italian breadcrumbs) for a bit of textural contrast to that rich sauce. Perfezione. I mean it.
"When people ask me to name my favorite food in New York, I inevitably answer--without hesitation--"arepas from the Arepa Lady." This saintly woman grills Colombian corn cakes on her street cart weekends after 10:30 p.m., and they are magical.
I don't know her name; such knowledge would detract from my appreciation of her as an archetype. While I speak pretty decent Spanish, I've never been able to fully follow her conversation, but it doesn't matter. I go when I'm feeling blue, stand under her umbrella, and feel a healing calm wash over me as she brushes the sizzling corn cakes with butter. Zen master-like in her complete absorption in the task, she grills the things with infinite patience and loving care.
Everyone adores the arepa lady. The people on the street treat her with reverence and respect; there's always a small entourage of hangers-on standing around her cart or sitting on folding chairs. Fast cars and smoke-billowing trucks zoom down the street, the 7 train crashes by overhead, partying Latinos cavort up and down the block, but the arepa lady's peacefulness absorbs it all, transforms it, and gives back...corn cakes.
The arepas themselves are snacks from heaven. Coarsely ground corn, fried in pancakes about six inches in diameter and an inch thick, slathered with butter and topped with shredded white cheese, they're brown and crunchy, chewy and a little bit sweet, the butter and cheese imbuing the whole with salty dairy meltiness.
Nearby, others grill arepas on street carts, but they are not The Arepa Lady (look for the tiny, ageless woman with the beatific smile). They all use the same ingredients and similar grills, but only her arepas have that certain cosmic expansiveness. You try one, and first reaction is "mmm, this is delicious." But before that thought can fully form, waves of progressively deeper feelings begin crashing, and you are finally left silently nodding your head. You understand things. You have been loved.
"There are no lobsters at Peter Luger. There are no major credit cards, either. And those looking for a great wine list will be disappointed. But Peter Luger does have one thing: the best steak in New York City.
You know the steak is great before you even taste it. You know it from the fine, funky, mineral aroma that wafts across the table and announces that this is a piece of meat. When the waiter appears with the platter, he stands there spooning a mixture of butter and meat juices across the sizzling porterhouse in an exercise of pure theater. He is merely prolonging the moment, allowing the aroma to revive all your primal instincts as he stretches out the time until you can actually sink your teeth into the flesh. Finally he serves, slowly doling out slices of fillet and sirloin. As your mouth closes on the incredibly tender piece of beef, aroma and flavor come together, exploding on the palate.
Some people order lamb chops, which seems inexplicable to me; the chops are thick and powerfully delicious, but I'd rather eat steak. Others, who have been dragged along by ardent carnivores, console themselves with salmon. I tried it once, just for science. It was a fine piece of fish, but I felt cheated. The steak's the thing here, an enormous porterhouse charred to perfection over intense heat. It is so good that if you're not careful you find yourself gnawing on the bone, picking the marrow out of the middle and generally covering yourself in greasy goodness.
"For $4, you get a lily-white bun — the bao — brimming with Niman Ranch pork belly, glossy with fat and topped with the classic Taiwanese condiments: peanuts pulverized to a powder and tossed with red sugar; suan cai (pickled mustard greens), and a fistful of cilantro.
Looks like an elaborate cut 'n paste.

21-year-old Second Lieutenant John Harrison died on 16th April 1917 serving with "C" Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Born on 8th November 1895 in Indianapolis, USA, he was the eldest of the seven children of parents John Arthur (an insurance broker) and Florence (née Garfield), who had married in 1894. An Old Silhillian, John Harrison had left Solihull Grammar School (Solihull House) in 1912, aged 17, and entered his father's insurance broking business in Birmingham. Whilst at the school he was a non-commissioned officer in the Officer Training Corps (O.T.C.)
John Harrison joined the Territorial Force prior to the outbreak of war and was actually in camp when war broke out. Volunteering for overseas service, he went to the Front in March 1915 as a private soldier, before receiving a commission on 2nd December 1915.
He was awarded the Military Cross (London Gazette, 26th March 1917) for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty leading a bombing party, in spite of heavy casualties. Unpublished research by the late Alan Tucker indicates that this was in respect of an action on 4th February 1917, during which the battalion suffered heavy casualties.
Second Lieutenant Harrison was killed in action on the Somme on 16th April 1917 and is buried at Saulcourt Churchyard Extension, Guyencourt-Saulcourt, France. He was killed alongside his company commander, Captain James Stafford, and ten other ranks. John Harrison's siblings were all considerably younger than he was, being born between 1903-1911, and so his brothers were all too young to fight in the war. The youngest child, Raymond, died in 2010, aged 99.
If you have any further information about John Harrison, please let us know.

Where the Crawdads Sing — Olivia Newman
Where the Crawdads Sing is a soggy, laughably self-serious mess that isn't able to calibrate its particular wavelength of melodrama.
Based on the wildly popular 2018 best-selling novel and book club favorite by Delia Owens, the film adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sing certainly embraces its source material's flair for melodrama, serving up a slice of Southern-fried cheese that has been thoroughly coated and breaded in corn-pone bullshit. To be fair, the film takes place in the marshes of North Carolina, but that doesn't stop the cast from acting like they've all signed up for some ill-advised remake of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, as lovers are scorned and men are brutish pigs worthy of a few fatal wallops. Director Olivia Newman and screenwriter Lucy Alibar are certainly under no delusion about the type of movie they are making, consistent in their vision of soap opera theatrics bathed in a golden hour glow that exists solely to entertain middle-aged women uninterested in such frivolities as depth or realism. That this particular escape from reality includes child and spousal abuse seems par for the course in this day and age, where the likes of the Lifetime Network have trained an entire generation to believe that a woman must suffer in order to truly understand and appreciate her agency, and filmmakers perpetuate such dangerous and regressive fallacies quite thoughtlessly. But who has time to consider such things when beautiful people are making googly eyes at one another?
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Catherine Clark, better known as Kya, who, as the film opens, is arrested for the murder of beloved local Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson), found dead at the base of a tall fire tower. The townspeople automatically assume she did it, because she has lived in the marshes by herself for the past ten years, rarely seen in public, and whose legend with townsfolk as "Marsh Girl" includes glowing eyes and the possibility of being the missing link between ape and human. The idea that the most insulting moniker they can give Kya is "Marsh Girl" tells you everything you need to know about the locals, who apparently missed the memo where Kya's father (Garret Dillahunt) was an abusive drunk who drove both his wife and four of his five kids away, leaving Kya to fend for herself when he finally picked up and left when she was only ten. The film cuts back and forth between the present-day courtroom trial (set in 1969) and the preceding 15 years, where we learn about Kya's devastating history with various deplorable men. This includes Tate (Taylor John Smith), a hunky local fisherman who teaches Kya how to read but refuses to sleep with her because, "It would do more damage to you than to me," ultimately abandoning her for college life even as he promises to come back and see her in the summers. Then there's the aforementioned Chase, who is embarrassed to be seen with her in public and treats her as a side piece even as he makes empty declarations of love and possible marriage proposals.
The film is certainly sympathetic to Kya's plight, a young woman entirely willing to open her heart to others who show her even the faintest hint of interest due to the solitude that has consumed her for the past 15 years. "Being alone is a pain whose vastness is so great you can hear echoes," Kya states at one point, which aptly clues viewers into both the shape of her melancholy and the shade of purple in which this film's prose traffics. Where the Crawdads Sing is the type of movie where our heroine is dirt-poor and has little access to any sort of amenities — remember, she's a "Marsh Girl" — but she is also somehow drop-dead gorgeous at all times, eyebrows perfectly manicured, legs cleanly shaven, etc. This makes it all the more laughable that the local yokels constantly refer to her as some kind of monster, even after seeing her, a bit approximately as funny as when Kya explains to Tate the reason why she can't initially read his love letters, her dialogue somewhere along the lines of, "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" while staring off blankly and slack-jawed into the distance like she's auditioning for The Flowers of Algernon. The courtroom scenes are equally over the top, where countless accusations and insults are hurled and the jurors and attendees all loudly gasp and murmur, this while David Strathairn does his best Atticus Finch impression as Kya's kindly lawyer. And that's not even mentioning the subplot where Kya becomes a world-famous author, whose publisher refers to the murder trial as "nonsense" and says he can't wait to publish her next book. (To those following the current controversies swirling around the novel's author, this is possibly the greatest case of inadvertent dramatic irony to ever exist.) Oh, and also, the film ultimately takes place over the course of 80 years. Let that sink in — 80.
Yet even for viewers keyed in to the movie's particular strain of melodrama, the whole sordid sum might still be too much. At over two hours, the film is a slog-and-a-half, offering a few moments of "Can you believe this shit?" laughs but never enough to consistently or campily delight. It certainly doesn't help that the film's politics are so questionable, offering up an ostensible tale of female empowerment that feels like a relic from the very era in which it is set. Those looking for a more guilt-free version of this particular story would be wise to check out Taylor Hackford's 1995 adaptation of Stephen King's Dolores Clairborne, of which this particular story feels like a soulless afterimage. One would like to think that Strathairn's casting here is a knowing nod, as he played the abusive man in Clairborne, but then this is also a film that undercuts any possibility of a good performance from Edgar-Jones, who was so heartbreakingly vulnerable and authentic in the limited series Normal People. None of this is going to stop the film from making $100 million-plus at the box office, but profits don't change the fact that Where the Crawdads Sing is where authenticity goes to die.

A recent article at CACM brought up a topic that I've been thinking about off and on for quite a few years surrounding the relationship between network architecture, security, functionality, and sustainable economics in the neural network economy.
The article in question is titled "BufferBloat: What's Wrong With the Internet?", in discussion format with Vint Cerf—an old acquaintence, Van Jacobson, Nick Weaver, and Jim Gettys. Thanks to Franz Dill who alerted me to the article on his blog.
For this discussion let's define the current neural network as: encompassing any individual entity, device, application, or sensor that is either part of, or connected to, the Internet, World Wide Web, or extension thereof—such as telecom, cable, or wireless networks. By looking at this problem systemically in the context of what is required of a neural network to perform as a sustainable ecosystem—which requires certain elements and features, we can then perhaps be far enough removed for a perspective that may help address this and other specific problems in the neural network economy.
Like most ecosystems, the first rule of neural networks can be taken directly from biology, which is that in order to maintain the network it must contain essential elements that sustain its existence. Otherwise it will simply perish. For the sake of this discussion let's place a label of economics on the discipline and define the activity as one that serves the purpose of achieving sustainable resource management. In this context sustainability of the ecosystem would include any entity providing a subsidy.
In order to achieve sustainability, especially when dealing with economic entities, a critical mass of essential resources must have motivation to behave in such a way that favors sustainability. To manage the impacts from that behavior, usually through incentives and penalties called regulation, a structure of governance is generally required. And in order for the ecosystem to adapt to constant change, the governance structure found to be most effective is one that embraces markets, aka market economics, or in long form: resource management through governance of markets by a regulatory scheme that incentivizes and enforces adaptable behavior towards a sustainable ecosystem. Of course any sustainable governance system for neural networks must consider such issues as preventative maintenance, security, growth and contraction, among others.
When we observe the type of behavior demonstrated in the BufferBloat problem, the underlying cause is quite often a combination of factors that include network engineering and governance engineering, both of which appear to be critical causal factors in this case. In the neural network economy, regardless of the many types of motivation that would impact individual behavior, the network must first contain sufficient intelligence to inform the individual (whether human or machine) about the impact of their behavior, and in order for machines to collect sufficient intelligence to do so the global computer network must provide an adaptable model that balances security and privacy according to regional regulation.
Finally, as our patented system provides, that adaptability should in my view include the quality and quantity of data as defined and managed by each entity's profile within the governance parameters, whether national regulations or business rules in the enterprise. For example, the operating system I am using to write and upload this to the Web has a basic profile with built-in security and tracking features, but of course unlike Kyield the profile functionality in this OS does not extend to my specific data needs or that of my organizational entity.
One of the intriguing aspects of the BufferBloat challenge is that it highlights the problems that can arise when very little provenance exists, without which accountability and security remain elusive, especially given regional regulatory schemes. This is why we long ago embraced the concept of universal standards for data structure, aka the 'semantic web'. The conceptual framework contained the potential to allow a more intelligent, functional, and one hopes—rationally sustainable, medium.
As is the case in the physical world, when followed down the maze to inevitable conclusion, governance can be reduced to an individual human rights issue that overlaps civil liberties, privacy, security, individual property rights, and in the U.S. those covered by the Bill of Rights. Many people believe that provenance and privacy are incompatible, but actually it depends again on a combination of technology architecture and choices made in governance policy. The problem outlined above by Nick Weaver is only possible due to the specific architecture of the Internet that allows it. That is to say that anonymity and lack of provenance is intentional policy of the Internet, which in some parts of the world, and perhaps at certain times, are more necessary than others, particularly relating to threat by heavy handed governments, which calls for adaptability.
In a general sense the BufferBloat problem is partially about alignment of interests between the supply chain of vendors, or as is often the case –misalignment of interests. For example, search engines have a business model that is dependent upon advertising, which is in turn dependent upon a 'free Web', and somewhat reliant on unlimited bandwidth. Of course as the BufferBloat case demonstrates, the Web is certainly not free, rather it's a question of who is paying for what, when, and how. The interests of hardware and desktop software vendors have been fairly well aligned with search engines to date as they all tend to profit from demand for their products subsidized by free content. Telecoms and cable companies also profit from free content on the Web—although not necessarily unfettered bandwidth; and generally speaking consumer products companies have also shared alignment of interests with the 'free' advertising model of the Web, provided of course the ROI in advertising remained beneficial. These dynamics are beginning to change, however, as consumer companies, IT vendors and governments begin to realize that their customers need jobs for income to buy their products and pay taxes.
The current neural network economic model conflicts to some degree with the interests of countries like the U.S. due to our service-oriented economy, as well as most organizations within the so-called knowledge economy, many of which are in the process of being disrupted and/or replaced by the business models of the Internet and Web. Essentially the economic model of the Web is made possible by massive subsidies by content providers worldwide of every type with an advertising revenue sharing structure that requires tracking and favors volume. This was well understood before current search leaders were conceived, but the model was viewed as a necessary step, albeit a reluctant one by Silicon Valley which did not want to see its future limited to advertising.
Apple is one exception to the IT industry that has profited greatly from poor structure and governance in the neural network economy by creating platforms and models that are more economically sustainable and better aligned with the interests of content providers, but is the Apple case not yet another symptom of the lack of network governance?
The BufferBloat problem is a good example of what can occur in a neural network environment where the limitations of a single discipline of limited scope and interest can impact the global economy, where misplaced ideology and good intentions have the potential to wreak havoc, and where the business models of those influencing governance can be directly conflicting with the broader needs of both the physical and neural network economies.
While scale has occasionally served as an excuse not to embrace standards or deploy structured data, scale has been a legitimate technical obstacle to wider adoption of structured data, as has been ease of use, representing significant if temporary technical risks. However, the trajectory of innovation in underlying hardware, software and trade craft has been pointing towards resolution on a parallel path with Moore's law all along. What only a supercomputer could accomplish a few years ago with large data sets that required hours to run can now be performed in minutes or even seconds in most data centers. Moreover, the short-term trajectory reflects a very high probability of near-real time execution at consumer search scale soon.
While structured data can only provide a partial solution in the near-term to the specific BufferBloat challenge, the combination of a Semantic Web and Internet with deeper embedded intelligence is foundational in providing the potential to overcome a host of complex technical and governance challenges within the neural network economy, including the potential to assist greatly with security, privacy, data quality, data volume, business model alignment, and more stable global economic equilibrium.

Once upon a time, Mark Feldstein watched a mother try to manage her overwrought child as they sat waiting in a reception area.
Suddenly, Feldstein had an idea. He walked over to the girl and intoned, "Once upon a time…," and just like that, she stopped crying.
"As though a spigot had been turned off," said the 59-year-old Tustin resident.
Then Feldstein launched into a fairy tale he concocted on the spot. And they all lived happily ever after – or, at least, for the next half-hour.
Thus it came to be that the enchanted wizard dreamed up a no-tech game involving story starters, for those not quite as adept as he at getting the ball rolling.
The just-released "Storytelling Box" consists of 300 cards – 100 prompts, 100 brief phrases and 100 illustrations – intended to spark the spinning of a tale.
"The tooth fairy has lost a tooth because of a sudden wind that ripped it from her grasp! She must find it or all her magic will be lost."
"(Jessica) can't remember the last time she saw a rainbow. Where have they all gone?"
Among the phrases are "Pink Tutu" and "Mad Scientist."
Drawings, by Feldstein's niece Ashley To, include fantastical creatures such as a multicolored horse and a smiling elephant.
Feldstein spent the past year coming home from his primary job as chief financial officer for a swimming pool design company to compose his ideas.
"Sometimes I would put my head on my desk and think, 'Giants, ogres, fairies – what else can I come up with?'" he recalled.
Feldstein brought to life another interactive exercise, "The Rewards Box," a trove of perks such as backyard campouts and later bedtimes.
The self-published products debuted on amazon.com for $37 each a few weeks ago.
Already "The Story Telling Box" has garnered awards from Creative Child Magazine and Parents' Choice.
"For parents who may not be natural storytellers, these offerings may ease family room or bedside stage fright," reads the review on parents-choice.org.
Feldstein developed that very skill when his daughter Quina, now 28, was in preschool. Often, the father and daughter found themselves on the periphery of conversations they couldn't understand – as his wife, Ginette, chatted with family in Cantonese "during long, 13-course meals."
So the two figured out how to occupy themselves by weaving stories.
"You shouldn't need an iPad or an iPhone to entertain your kids," Feldstein said. "You see kids at restaurants playing games on their phones and never once looking up to interact with their family. My motto is, 'Less screen time, more real time.'"
Feldstein moved to California from New York in 1980 with the goal of writing screenplays. He views himself as a creative type who wound up making a steady income working with numbers rather than words.
His father, Al Feldstein, was editor of Mad magazine from 1956 through 1984. The elder Feldstein made Alfred E. Neuman the iconic magazine's cover boy and coined the character's clueless catchphrase, "What, me worry?"
Mark Feldstein relishes the opportunity to share his talents in the form of an educational game: "It's the most satisfying achievement of my work life."
Neighbor Molly Udzenija, 6, test-marketed "The Storytelling Box" before its publication. She and her dad, Joe, play the game several times a week. Demonstrating, Molly plucked a card and, with her father's help, read the prompt – something about a talking dog that must warn its family about an evil chicken.
"There's a crazy, weird chicken coming!" Molly narrated, providing the dog's dialogue in a silly voice. "Listen to me, dude! It wants to eat people!"
Laughing along, Joe Udzenija observed, "There's an infinite amount of story possibilities and no boundaries. The child sets the parameters."
Molly crawled under a table to escape the horrid hen but soon switched the subject to lunch.
"I guess we're done with this storyline," her father figured. "The end."

The Conflict of Horus and Seth: From Egyptian and Classical Sources.
Horus, who was retired in April 2006, beat Chives by six lengths in the Grade 2 Edward Hanmer, and fought out a stirring finish to dead-heat with Cornish Sett in the 2006 Vodafone Gold Cup at Newbury.
Abdel-Maqsoud said the fortified city corresponded to the inscriptions of the Way of Horus found on the walls of the Karnak Temple in Luxor which illustrated the features of 11 military fortresses that protected Egypt's eastern borders.
The feature race saw an incredible finish last year as Cornish Sett and Horus dead-heated for first place and other races last year were won by such top-class horses as Desert Quest, Wellbeing and Rubberdubber.
Arch rivals Martin Pipe and Paul Nicholls dominated the finish of the Vodafone Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday in what could well be a portent of what is to come at Cheltenham as Horus dead-heated with Cornish Sett.
ARCH rivals Martin Pipe and Paul Nicholls dominated the finish of the Vodafone Gold Cup at Newbury yesterday in what could well be a portent of what is to come at Cheltenham as Horus dead-heated with Cornish Sett.
We expect a fair few of these to under-perform so, for the second investment, we suggest you have 2pts ew at 33-1 with Coral about HORUS, who was leading when unseating two out last year.
With them are the old standbys: Gargery, their butler; Selim, son of their tragically deceased reis Abdullah; Daoud, Selim's uncle; and Horus, a cat with an attitude.
BRAMBLEHILL DUKE can gain revenge on Horus in the Racecourse Of The Year Handicap Chase at Cheltenham today.
Isis hid her son, Horus, from Seth, the murderer of Osiris, until Horus was fully grown and could avenge his father.

Hi, I'm stuck in this sub-level called Utopica or something, where alternatively red, green, yellow and purple lines are solid. I just passed a guy who told me I would have to use space bar soon. So here I'm stuck, and my question is, is the 4th ball upgrade is enough in this level, and if it is, a hint of what to do.
For that level, you need to have at least , , and .
Have you noticed how the different colored lines interact with different balls?
I recommend not looking for more help, because that level is all about figuring it out for yourself.
I always go to Utopioca before getting . You only need , , and do complete it.
Yeah, you are right, Razzorman. My mistake.
Actually you only need the first 3 balls. I've done it before.
Actually you only need .


We're very much in a position to help with this. So, last week we packaged up 3 x Blantyre Project history books, some back editions of Blantyre Telegraph newspapers and arranged for 25 x high resolution prints of Blantyre in areas that hopefully Peter will recognise. The package was worth £60 and was posted out to Diane (for her father) last Friday. This was made possible by all the kind people who bought a Blantyre Telegraph newspaper.
It's hoped these Blantyre books and photos will allow Peter to recall some old, nice memories from his childhood.

After your divorce is complete and the judge's orders have been issued, what happens if your former spouse does not comply with the orders? This occurs far more frequently than you might imagine. Fortunately, in Michigan you are allowed to take steps to enforce divorce judgments.
At Matecun, Thomas & Olson, PLC, we have extensive experience enforcing divorce judgments, including matters involving child support, custody and parenting time, debt repayment, property division, spousal support and more. Our attorneys have established solid relationships with judges and the Friend of the Court (FOC). We will use our experience and understanding of divorce law to help ensure the orders in your divorce judgment are enforced.
Many people believe that once the Court has made its decisions about child support, child custody, parenting time, spousal support and other matters, the decisions are set in stone. This is not the case. The fact is, circumstances following a divorce change over time: income changes; relationships between children and parents change; people lose jobs, get higher paying jobs, remarry and more. This is why the Michigan legal system makes it possible for certain orders in a divorce to be modified, and in some situations, changed completely.
If you believe your circumstances, or those of your former spouse, warrant post judgment modification, we can help. Modifying existing orders is not easy, but we have helped numerous clients do so, as well as successfully defended clients against having original judgments modified. Contact our Livingston and Macomb County judgment medication lawyers today to discuss your case.

An usu (, ) is a large Japanese stamp mill with a pestle called kine (, ), used to pound rice or millet.

While the function of an usu is similar to the smaller suribachi and surikogi mortars, the shape is very different, as the usu usually lacks the rough pattern in the bowl, and has a differently shaped pestle which is used in a different manner.

Appearance
The usu is usually about one meter high (including pedestal) and has a diameter of ca. 30 cm. The usu is usually made of wood or stone. The kine  is a long wooden mallet with a length exceeding one meter. The usu is usually operated by two people at the same time. One person swings the kine to pound the rice in a similar motion to chopping wood. It is physically demanding work and is usually done by men who often chant to keep time. Between each swing, another person puts his hand in the bowl to turn the rice. Timing is critical for safe operation of the usu.

Use
The most common use of an usu is to pound cooked white rice into a very sticky mass in order to produce mochi. It is still frequently used in Japan in traditional restaurants and also sometimes in traditional, rural, or wealthier private households. Especially around New Year they are used by companies and organizations to make mochi together and distribute it to the employees to strengthen the group spirit.

Le lac Irtiach (en , ozero Irtiach) est un lac de Russie, situé sur le versant oriental de l'Oural, dans l'oblast de Tcheliabinsk.

Sur les rives du lac se trouvent les villes de Kasli, au nord, et Oziorsk, au aud.

Étymologie
En termes de contenu sonore, le toponyme est proche des mots bachkirs : er -  et tach - . Il faut noter que les rives et le fond du lac sont vraiment rocheux. Il existe donc une version de l'origine du nom du lac à partir du nom turc : Irteï, Irtekeï, Irtouk.

Description

La superficie du lac est de  ou . Sa profondeur maximale est de 18,6 m, sa profondeur moyenne de . De petits cours d'eau s'y jettent, comme la Bolchaïa Kychtymka et le Boukoïan. De Kasli, il est alimenté par l'Istok (en bachkir: Kourgouliak) et par un canal venant du lac Bolchie Kazli. La rivière Tetcha (affluent de l'Isset) y prend sa source.

Faune
Beaucoup d'espèces de poissons habitent ce lac, comme la vandoise, la grémille, le carassin doré, la tanche, la lotte, la perche commune, la carpe, le grand brochet, l'ide mélanote. La brème commune, le corégone, le corégone blanc nordique, le sandre y ont été acclimatés.

Q: Change a cell value permanently in Excel I prepared an Excel worksheet to monitor my trades on Binance crypto market. I created a simple formula to  make one cell's value (A12 for example) change to "done" when the coin's value is equal to sell price. (pretty easy). However, this changes when the coin's price becomes less than sell price!
Is there any way to make the word "done" permeant when the condition is met?
Thank you guys.

A: You could experiment with circular references. Check the "enable iterative calculation" option in the formula tab of the Excel options under the File menu. Then, as proof of concept, in A12 enter the formula:
=IF(A12="done","done",IF(A11>5,"done","undone"))

This will switch to "done" the first time the value exceeds 5 but won't switch back to "undone" if the value later drops below.
On the other hand, circular references make the worksheet harder to reason about. A VBA solution will probably be more robust.

John Hutton said the Severn Barrage concept was "visionary"
The government has announced a fresh feasibility study into the Severn Barrage, a tidal power plan that could provide about 5% of UK electricity.
Speaking at the Labour Party's annual conference in Bournemouth, business and enterprise secretary John Hutton said the concept was "truly visionary".
Some environmental groups have warned the barrage could affect wildlife.
The idea was first floated about 150 years ago, but environmental and cost concerns have always blocked approval.
It was last seriously considered in the 1970s and 80s.
Last year's governmental energy review opened the door again, saying that the barrage should be re-evaluated.
Now Mr Hutton has signalled that a multi-million pound feasibility study will go ahead, citing climate concerns as the main driver.
"The government Gordon Brown leads will not be among those who say they want to tackle global warming by moving to low-carbon energy sources, but then oppose every opportunity to do so," he told conference delegates.
The study will examine the social, economic and environmental aspects of the barrage.
It could extend from the South Wales coast near Cardiff across the estuary to Weston-super-Mare.
Reaction to the announcement from conservation groups has not been positive.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said the barrage would put thousands of birds, salmon and other fish at risk.
The estuary contains mudflats, saltmarshes, rocky islands and food that support some 65,000 birds in winter.
"The Severn estuary is one of the UK's most important sites for water birds," said the RSPB's conservation director Mark Avery.
"A barrage would do enormous damage. There could be much better ways of harnessing the Severn's power, and the feasibility study should examine tidal lagoon and tidal stream schemes which could do less damage and generate more energy."
Tidal lagoons are artificially created offshore pools.
Water would flow through turbines in and out of the lagoons as the tide rose and fell. Some analysts say this could generate more power than the barrage with less local environmental disruption.
With the barrage carrying an estimated £14bn price-tag, some believe the lagoon concept would also be cheaper.
However, it could not provide the potential economic side-benefit of a new connection between Wales and southwest England.

Who can argue with the power and wholesomeness of authentic leadership? The leadership gurus tell us anybody can be an authentic leader if they have the integrity to standup for their values and use them consistently when making decisions. The more authentic you act, the more authentic you become, and the more you become respected for being an authentic leader. Simple formula, right? Not so fast. You're missing one important step.
Being authentic starts with what a leader believes in. I am authentic, therefore I am. Self-knowledge is fundamental to become grounded in one's genuine qualities, but that's just one person's opinion. Authenticity is in the eye of the beholder. Perception is reality. For many leaders, especially emerging leaders, there is a "perception gap" between their self-described qualities and how he/she is perceived by others. The more others agree on a leader's authentic qualities the more authentic she/he becomes. Acknowledgement breeds confidence. The opposite can also be true.
A perception gap where a leader's authentic qualities are not well understood by others presents a real opportunity for development and growth. Some leaders may find he/she has a different kind of perceptual gap to manage, a set of misperceptions, often negative, that adds friction to their growth as a leader. In either case managing perceptions is an important competency to support a leader's growth and development. Managing the perception gap is an added element to leveraging the power of being respected as an authentic leader.
Managing perceptions can be an "X Factor" that distinguishes leaders on the fast track from similarly talented leaders. Some leaders have an instinct for and sensibility about the perceptual implications of their words and actions. While for many other leaders, especially younger, emerging leaders, managing perceptions is an underdeveloped leadership competency.
As a leader you have more power over how you are perceived than one might think and by consciously practicing the basic principles of perception management your most authentic, valuable qualities are more likely to shine through. Being acknowledged for your authentic qualities delivers on what's important to most of us – we get to be more of who we are.
To get you off and running here are a few of the basics about managing perceptions.
For some strange, quirky reason we live under the false belief that other people should be able to understand us. We think a lot about ourselves: our ups and downs, our aspirations, our improvements and our intentions. Research confirms common sense; there is most often a big gap between our self-understanding and how others understand us. Other people don't get us, like we think they do. According to a research study conducted at the University of Manitoba, while 60% of people believe they were clear in communicating their intentions, only 26% of their intended audience believed they could identity those intentions! To add credence, another study confirms that your friends and families are only 20% – 50% likely to perceive you in the same way you perceive yourself. Now imagine how accurate people's perceptions are that are one, two or three times removed in your network of relationships.So now what? Assume most people don't understand your authentic qualities which means you have to be proactive, demonstrative and consistent to display your key authentic qualities as often as possible.
Perceivers are lazy. Everyone has the same ability to accurately perceive others, but not the same motivation to understand another person. Most people are lazy (technically known as "cognitive misers") in applying themselves to accurately perceive or understand others. To make matters worse, people are not very likely to change their mind about how they perceive you. There are certain conditions and tactics to get people to change their mind, but they're difficult and take a lot of work. (More on that in a later piece.)So now what? Yes, your mother was right first impressions are VERY important, so are the second, the third, the ….. Have an "impression plan" and be consistent when you interact with people as you get to know them.
Some perceivers wear blinders. Certain individuals view others through their "Power Lens" and I don't mean more accurately. Individuals who believe they are "powerful" e.g., senior executives, or anybody who feels they have control over certain groups or other resources, spend very little energy to accurately perceive others. These "powerful" individuals are much more likely to use stereotypes to develop their perceptions of others. Worse yet they place more emphasis on the negative aspects of the stereotype.So now what? The best way to breakaway from the stereotypical perceptions you need to identify and act on situations or activities that can help a "powerful" person reach their goals. When you get their attention in this way they are much more likely to make an effort to identify your qualities.
Managing perceptions isn't rocket science and every leader can become much better at perception management. Step One: becoming more grounded in the principles of perception management is a good starting point. Step Two: define what perceptions you want to create that reflect your authentic qualities. Step Three: gain an accurate assessment of how you are perceived today. Finally, to manage perceptions it takes a consciously competent effort or simply stated – practice, practice, practice!


When I was 13 I found a kitten in the field where I lived. He was really little and still needed his mother. Sadly his mother abandoned him. The kitten was very sick, and about to die.
I started to nurse him back to health. He started to get better. After about 4 days the kitten died. When he died it took place in my bed room. That night I was going to bed I felt somthing on my side. It was the kitten!! Every since that nigth he has been there with me. This might be weird but he kind of protects me.

Regional Cooperation Can Transform Standards Implementation: An Opportunity for Latin America
Manuel Arias | September 19, 2019 |
Over the past 15 years, adopting international standards in Latin American countries has made tremendous strides—primarily auditing standards, private sector financial reporting standards, and the International Code of Ethics. Adopting these standards drives universal understanding of financial information for all stakeholders, including global investors, regulars and other stakeholders.
Implementing these standards remains another journey. In part, regional challenges stem from needing to translate standards into local languages on a timely basis, publish the new changes, and regularly engage regulators to ensure ongoing adoption of the most recent standards.
In most Latin American countries, there is no strong legal and regulatory frameworks, which would facilitate the authority of professional accountancy organizations (PAOs) to ensure the adoption and implementation of standards. This absence adds another obstacle. For example, although laws permit establishing PAOs, their ability to undertake core regulatory functions—such as setting applicable standards and enforcing compliance—is limited.
Nonetheless, there are overall positive indications of PAOs' capacity to drive change and seek out solutions for these challenges. PAOs are developing strong collaborative relationships within their jurisdiction and across borders to drive adoption and ensure implementation of international standards.
Many PAOs have developed cooperation agreements, such as the Ibero-American Cooperation Framework (IberAM) and the Latin American Accounting Standard Setters Group, (GLENIF), to assist with implementation. IberAM was established to produce a single, unified, high-quality Spanish translation of auditing and ethical standards (IberAM is currently determining a new, fit-for-purpose operating model). GLENIF provides comments to all International Accounting Standards Board Exposure Drafts from its members—17 regional accounting standard setters, including nine IFAC member organizations. These agreements support the development the accountancy profession within the region.
Replicating this cooperative success for audit and ethics standards is a key opportunity for Latin America. For adoption and implementation to progress and remain current, the region needs to intentionally come together to influence and contribute to the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) standard-setting processes. Replicating the GLENIF model specifically would allow professionals to share their experiences and perspectives by commenting on exposure drafts and nominating highly-qualified candidates to the standard-setting boards. This is essential to ensuring that the international standards can truly be applied worldwide.
This model could look like in practice during a forum developed alongside CReCER (Contabilidad y Responsabilidad para el Crecimiento Económico Regional or Accounting and Accountability for Regional Economic Growth) conference in San Jose, Costa Rica. The forum brought together more than 60 representatives—representing national standard-setters, regulators, PAOs, and audit firms—from 16 different Latin American countries to share their views on the revisions to and restructure of the IESBA International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, the IAASB discussion paper on audits of less complex entities, and the IAASB's proposed revisions to its quality control standards. The forum allowed speakers and attendees to raise awareness on the updated standards, further understand regionals challenges, create a dialogue with the region, and promote involvement in the standard-setting process.
Working together and intentionally will achieve far more for Latin America's accountancy profession, the regional economies, and the public interest than acting in isolation. PAOs should strive to influence key stakeholders to move from passively adopting standards to actively transforming the standard-setting adoption and implementation environment. Their voices, needs, and recommendations need to be included in the process.
