'Girl' by Lukas Dhont to open Film Fest Gent 2018 Festival
Film Fest Gent will open its 45th edition on Tuesday 9 October with the Belgian feature debut and multiple Cannes award winner 'Girl' by Lukas Dhont, in the presence of the entire cast and crew.
We look forward to welcoming Lukas Dhont back with his first full-length feature. In 2014 Dhont won the Best Belgian Student Short Film at Film Fest Gent with his master thesis 'L'Infini'. He also was part of the youth jury of the Explore Zone competition in 2011 and received a Special Mention for his short film 'Corps Perdu' in 2012.
"What we're experiencing now with 'Girl' surpasses my wildest dreams, Cannes may well be the biggest festival, but Ghent is the festival that is most important to me. To have the Belgian premiere here is... fantastic." says Lukas Dhont about the selection.
Artistic director of the festival Patrick Duynslaegher about the opening film: "Through this splendid feature film debut, Lukas Dhont portrays the dreams and desires of a girl trapped in a boy's body, with an unbelievable tact, tenderness and empathy. The revelation of a super talented director combined with the last film by producer Dirk Impens makes 'Girl' a very special opening film."
"Girl and Ghent makes a perfect pas de deux!" adds producer Dirk Impens. 'Girl' (2018) will be his fifth film to open Film Fest Gent after 'Daens' (1992) by Stijn Coninx, 'Brylcream Boulevard' (1995) by Robbe De Hert, 'The Misfortunates' (2009) and 'The Broken Circle Breakdown' (2012) by Felix Van Groeningen.
'Girl' is inspired by a true story about Lara, a 15-year-old girl who wants nothing more than to become a ballerina. To realize that dream, a lot of discipline is needed, but the challenge is made even greater because Lara is born in the body of a boy. The film follows Lara in the daily fight against her own body.
16-year-old Victor Polster, who plays the leading role in 'Girl', was rightly awarded Best Acting Performance at the Cannes Film Festival. Later, Lukas Dhont received the Queer Palm and the Un Certain Regard Fipresci Prize from the international press jury. Finally, the prestigious Caméra d'Or was added.
'Girl' was written by Lukas Dhont and Angelo Tijssens and directed by Lukas Dhont. Frank van den Eeden signed on as D.O.P, while Alain Dessauvage was the editor. The original music score is from Valentin Hadjadj. The film was produced by Dirk Impens for Menuet, in co-production with Frakas Productions and Topkapi Films.
'Girl' was made with the support of the VAF / Film Fund of Flemish Minister of Culture Sven Gatz. The film will be distributed in Belgium on 17 October by Lumière.
The 45th Film Fest Gent runs from 9 to 19 October in Kinepolis Ghent, Studio Skoop, Sphinx, Vooruit, Capitole and KASKcinema. The full program will be announced in September.

Home / About Model Expert
About Model Expert
From the team that brought you eaDocX, the worlds best selling extension for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Developed by EA users for EA users, Model Expert makes model quality easy.
Why did we write Model Expert?
Model Expert started out as the engine which drives the 'Quick Document' feature of the eaDocX document generator. This analyzes the content of a package, to see what kinds of elements and connectors are being used.
We soon realized this was a useful piece of knowledge, and relevant to all modellers, whether they need to create documents or not. So the first version of Model Expert was created to take this analysis and create an EA diagram from it – the 'Meta-model' of the package.
Using it on a project where the number of users in the team was expanding rapidly, it provided a great way to see what the new users were doing. But when we saw how creatively they were modelling, we soon realised that what we needed was a way to 'find and fix' inconsistencies. So that's what we built.
After working in this way for some time and improving model quality 'after the event', our customers then asked "How can we stop these kinds of issues happening in the first place?"
So, working with the same customer teams, we built the 'guided modelling' function so that their models didn't get into a mess again.
Helping everyone to Model Right First Time.
Business Analyst & Model Expert Developer
I graduated in 1983 from Oxford with a degree in Engineering, which means I could start from Schrödinger's Wave Equation and prove a wheelbarrow, but couldn't actually engineer anything.
I started out with IBM – first in their development lab in the UK. As some of the people I worked for were almost 40, this was clearly a job for old people, so I moved over to customer-facing roles building what were then called client-server systems, that were obviously going to take over the world. It's here that I got interested in how software got built, especially Object Oriented software, which was in its early stages of commercial use.
On one project, I managed a team of 20 Smalltalk programmers – in the days when Smalltalk was cool, and was definitely going to take over the world – and co-wrote a CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tool (ironically) called GOOSE – Graphical Object Oriented Solution to Everything. For this, me and my co-authors shared an IBM "Outstanding Innovation Award", due to the huge amount of money which the project saved by using the tool. It would be great to say that the tool was then adopted by IBM, and we all went on to become rich and famous, but it didn't, and we didn't. It got lost in the internecine wars that are IBM product development, and we all wandered off to do other things. Sigh.
The experience did, however, give me a life-long interest in how engineering-style approaches can be used to create better business applications. Yes – I really am interested in this. (Don't tell my children though – they already think I'm sad.)
After that I worked for a few years as a consultant and mentor for QA Training, then the UK's largest – and best – IT training company. I looked after, and was part of, a team of trainers who went out to customer sites to give advice on adopting OO techniques. During this period I worked with dozens of customer projects - Airlines, Insurance, Banking and Government - and saw how the use of a few hours from an independent 'expert' could make a big difference to a project. This is why I'm a real fan of the idea of project mentors, who can stop projects from re-inventing ideas which already exist, and giving them a sounding-board for new plans.
At the end of this period, QA produced the first ever UML (Unified Modelling Language) course, and for a while this was the focus of my mentoring work, using a variety of other CASE tools. It's at this point I started to call myself a Business Analyst. That was 10 or so years ago.
Since then, I've been an independent consultant, working as a BA for telecoms companies mostly in the UK, and doing occasional teaching – I wrote a UML course for a client, which I'm still adding-to and using.
It was during one of these projects that I first came across Enterprise Architect. I was the UML-specialist in a small team of BAs, who were writing the Use Cases for a telecoms system. EA was then – and still is – a fraction of the price of competing tools, and has a better user interface. If it doesn't take over the world, I'll be very surprised (surprisingly).
Our project also wrote its own document generator, to take the information from our EA model and produce all the documents for the project. Like many EA users have done, this was a series of Word macros, which needed a programmer to make changes, but which showed me the difference which a document generator can make to an EA project.
So, in a gap between projects, I totally re-wrote the initial generator to be an EA add-in, and eaDocX was finally born.
After working with various clients, I realised that the reason their generated documents often didn't look as they expected, was that the source models were not consistent. Data was missing or inconsistent. And that usually happened when there were large teams all adding to the model using their own favourite modelling standards. So I developed Model Expert, initially as a way to sense check and fix existing models, and then it expanded into providing help to stop those mistakes happening in the first place.
I'm now full-time coding and testing eaDocX and Model Expert, as well as planting and chopping down trees on our 45 acre farm in the Black Mountains¹, and spend most days listening to BBC 6 Music. The former is proving a timely reminder of my skills as an OO programmer, and why I prefer being a business analyst.
Our hope for Model Expert is that (1) every EA user will buy it and then (2) everyone's model quality will improve - making all their deliverables (not just documents) better.
...and Model Expert and eaDocX will take over the world, so I can go and get a real job making furniture, which is much more interesting than all of the above.
Oh, and somewhere in all that, I got married to Jackie (the eaDocX CTO, CMO, & CEO) who is a project manager and a real-life Rocket Scientist, and we have two daughters.
¹Yes- I know this adds-up to more than one job. Just look at the timestamps on my emails to see how this is done...
Jackie Mitchell
Team Rocket Scientist
I studied Physics (yes really) at Oxford University, before starting my career working in Space - first as a satellite design engineer, then project manager. I loved the technology, out of this world (!) problem solving, engineering design and manufacturing, all of this within a highly regulated and structured environment.
Being part of a multi-disciplinary team and achieving great things was hugely satisfying - even though to get our projects operational, we had to place them on a large complicated firework and light the blue touch paper, and sometimes that didn't go quite to plan...
On leaving the Space world I qualified with an MBA from the University of Bath (The UK Sunday Times University of the Year 2011-12yes) then set up and ran a management training and consulting company. I enjoyed the work, and helping people to improve their skills, but missed the technology and being part of a large team, so returned to project management with Airbus. There, I project managed an international team designing and building A380 wing structures and components. Again, a highly structured environment where delivery had to conform to rigorous change management and configuration control systems...
After Airbus I moved into telecoms and IT. In these industries I have managed IT and IVR systems developments, contact centre infrastructure changes, web platform upgrades, multi channel fulfilment (integrated ordering, contract management and delivery systems for phones via web, contact centres & in stores) and customer loyalty programmes. These have included not only implementing new technology but also introducing business and organisational changes.
You could say my career has been on a permanently downward trajectory, from Giotto (outside our Solar System) via weather satellites in earth orbit, via aircraft at 35,000 feet, to ground level with mobile phones.
But regardless of the altitude, in every case I have needed to understand the technology, the people, the processes, the politics, the business case, the risks, the operations and much more, just to deliver... and keep my stakeholders happy with the information they needed.
I was amazed, on entering IT, to discover how relatively un-structured and uncontrolled so much development was. Compared to my engineering experience, information was often incomplete and usually scattered through various departments, tools and peoples heads. Delivering projects was more an art than a science. Thinking was unstructured and solutions often had unexpected consequences, as they were developed and deployed in a vacuum (like Space, only different...) without reference to the rest of the business.
But then I discovered Enterprise Architect - and how much it could have helped.
Why did my BAs not tell me about this? A proper tool to do REAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING. Now I feel much more at home. And with all the engineering data in one place, I can build my Project Management work on a firm foundation.
EA can hold and connect business and technical information, and eaDocX makes it easy to get at that information accurately and quickly. So I am excited about what EA and eaDocX together can do to improve the flow of information and improve the delivery of my projects and programmes.
I know what hard looks like. I am a rocket scientist! And wherever possible I want an easy life...
I think that EA and eaDocX just might make that possible, and give me more time for Rugby (supporting Wales, of course), making music, and a million and one things I haven't quite got around to yet.

One thing I've learned about Ron Gettelfinger in five years of covering the UAW is that the outgoing UAW president is an early riser and early to events.
So I arrived more than an hour before Gettelfinger was to address a luncheon crowd in Detroit on Thursday for a program arranged by the Automotive Press Association. The Detroit Athletic Club was still putting on linen table cloths when I set up shop.
Sure enough, Gettelfinger and spokeswoman Christine Moroski were among the first guests to arrive so that he could mix with reporters ahead of lunch. He acceded to a quick interview as a courtesy to my boss, Keith Crain.
Gettelfinger, 65, hesitated a little when I told him I would ask about his legacy. On June 16, a UAW constitutional convention in Detroit will elect his successor. That somebody will be UAW Vice President Bob King, who's in charge of the union's negotiations with Ford. Gettelfinger is retiring.
Gettelfinger is clearly uncomfortable talking about himself. Whether it's out of respect for the sacrifices made by members over the past four years, the 75 years that the UAW has fought for rights and benefits or God-honest humility, Gettelfinger said he'd leave his legacy for others to determine.
"I really don't think about it," Gettelfinger said. "This has always been about the people. Every day it is a privilege and opportunity to represent workers.
"And we just do the best job we can. I've never worried about that. I've tried to make decisions based on the facts in the best interest of the workers."
You would never know from Gettelfinger's upbeat demeanor how brutal his two terms as UAW president have been.
Since he took the helm of the union in 2002, UAW membership has dropped from about 676,000 to less than 400,000 today, probably closer to 350,000. Think back to 1980 when the union had nearly 1.5 million members and was instrumental in setting the political and social agenda for the country.
In contrast, Gettelfinger had no choice but to negotiate buyouts for tens of thousands of auto workers as the Detroit 3 shrank. He locked horns with former Delphi chief Steve Miller as Delphi gutted its U.S. presence in bankruptcy.
Then Gettelfinger accepted concessions in the 2007 master contracts. He suffered humiliation with Detroit 3 CEOs during 2008 Congressional hearings to plead for federal bailouts. Then he had to accept more concessions during the Chrysler and General Motors bankruptcies in 2009. His tenure culminated with the transfer of retiree health care from the Detroit 3 to a UAW-administered trust in 2010.
Through it all, Gettelfinger kept his temper, kept his humanity and fought on. I've heard Ron Gettelfinger express his gratitude for the opportunity to represent workers on enough occasions to know it's heartfelt.
Happy trails, Mr. President. Thank you.

Marinate the chicken breasts in the lemon juice for 1-2 hours, set aside. Heat the butter, or margarine, and oil in a large skillet. Sauté the mushrooms and red onion just until tender, then set aside. Add the chicken and lemon juice to the pan, cover and cook over low-medium heat 15-20 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and keep warm. And the wine, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens. Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan. Layer the lemon balm leaves on top of the mixture and continue to simmer until the leaves are just wilted. Serve at once over a hot bed of rice.


There was plenty of government money to spend on education. My department had a Navy contract, so it was relatively easy for me to get a fellowship to study. I loved physics and math, but I also had a mild interest in music, and wanted to learn more about it. So I decided to squeeze in a class on the symphony.
My instructor was a composer of no particular note—I don't even remember his name. But at the time, he had a connection with someone at NBC. It was an amazing time at the broadcaster, just as the golden age of radio was just slipping into the early television era. Well-known voices of the airwaves—including Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Jack Benny, Bob Hope and George Burns and Gracie Allen—were starting to give way to the amazing performances of the NBC Symphony Orchestra, led by Arturo Toscanini. And my teacher's contact there managed to get passes for the class to attend rehearsals every Friday afternoon at the NBC studio in Carnegie Hall. I had no idea what I'd signed up for.
I'll never forget the first time I watched from the balcony as the maestro walked down the aisle in the orchestra area below and up on the stage. Toscanini must have been 80 or 81 by then, a small and slightly unsteady figure. But when he mounted the podium, he seemed a foot taller. And, of course, he was in complete control of the orchestra and whatever symphony they were practicing.
Over the next two hours, it was all Toscanini's show. The orchestra did whatever he told them to. I don't recall their asking any questions because his word was law. Sometimes a few musicians seemed to resent his uncompromising authority. But they were also in awe of him.
I wish I could remember some of the particular symphonies. But it was a long time ago. I do recall spending every Friday afternoon that semester at Carnegie Hall. Even though I didn't take a music class the following semester in the Spring, I talked my way into attending those rehearsals again. They were just as spectacular—maybe even more so as my knowledge of music broadened.
Since then I've been to a lot of great performances in many different venues. As a sometime cellist myself, I particularly enjoyed seeing Pablo Casals and, later, Mstislav Rostropovich. But nothing quite compares with my year with Arturo Toscanini.


What is it like for a novelist, filmmaker, and painter to embody this culture care approach? And what might this teach those who lead worship or congregational life? The interview includes a discussion of Martin Scorcese's latest film, Mako's own painting, and some resourceful examples emerging from next-generation leaders around the world.
This vesper service from the 2017 Calvin Symposium on Christian Worship focuses on prayers for the suffering church.

Macquarie Asset Management pumps £1bn into Southern Water
Macquarie Asset Management is investing £1 billion of new equity in Southern Water in a bid to address piping, pumping and sewer issues
Macquarie Asset Management is investing £1 billion of new equity in Southern Water in the UK, in a bid to recapitalise the business and address piping, pumping and sewer issues.
The capital injection will enable Southern Water to invest significantly to upgrade its network, with £2 billion earmarked over the next four years to fix the pipes, pumping stations, and sewers which are underperforming and causing harm to the local environment. Southern Water provides essential services to 2.6 million water and 4.7 million wastewater customers across Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight.
In July, Southern Water was handed a record £90 million fine after pleading guilty to thousands of illegal discharges of sewage which polluted rivers and coastal waters in Kent, Hampshire and Sussex (click here).
Macquarie Asset Management's commitments to Southern Water for the remaining four years of the regulatory period to 2025 to accelerate its transformation include:
Strengthening a zero-tolerance mindset to environmental pollution A commitment to significantly improving Southern Water's environmental track record, which Macquarie Asset Management recognises is one of the worst performing in the UK water sector. The Company is implementing plans to reduce pollution incidents by more than 50% (compared with 2019 pollution incidents) over the next four years. There may be incidents, particularly in the next few years, but Macquarie Asset Management knows there will be a very low tolerance for such events amongst Southern Water's management and the board.
Reducing leaks via Southern Water's significant investment programme, a commitment to reduce the number of water leaks to move closer to the PR19 ambition. The investment programme includes approximately £230 million of funding to upgrade Southern Water's infrastructure, which management believes is critical to improving the quality and resilience of water and wastewater services, including to both minimise and manage pollution incidents more effectively.
Ensuring affordable customer bills between now and 2025, a commitment to ensure average water and wastewater customer bills, in aggregate, do not rise by more than inflation. This commitment is in addition to honouring an existing £123 million customer rebate due to historical incidents.
Improving customer service an aim to improve Southern Water's customer service from the second worst performing in the UK water sector by addressing the root causes of complaints and enhancing Southern Water's capacity to handle them more effectively.
Leigh Harrison, Head of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets, said Southern Water needs significant investment to improve its operational and environmental performance, and financial health. Without it, the business will be unable to fulfil the expectations of the millions of customers that rely on its services each day or reduce its negative impact on the local environment.
"This major £1 billion equity investment by one of our long-term infrastructure funds will help put Southern Water back on a stable footing and enable an ambitious multi-year transformation plan to make essential water and wastewater services in the South East of England more sustainable and resilient," he said.
"While we expect Southern Water will have made substantial progress in addressing its issues by the end of 2025, we acknowledge the business' transformation will take time and that is why we intend to own our stake in Southern Water over multiple regulatory periods."
Keith Lough, Chair of Southern Water, said it wholeheartedly welcomed Macquarie Asset Management's investors as long-term shareholders of its business and the £1 billion equity enables Southern Water to increase investment in its network and accelerate transformation plans.
Ian McAulay, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Water, said this investment strengthens its ability to tackle the longer-term challenges posed by climate change and population growth, at the same time as being responsible custodians of Southern England's rivers and seas. "Importantly, this new investment will help Southern Water create around 1,000 new jobs and expand our apprenticeship programme, assisting the economic recovery of our region as we tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic."
Macquarie Group has operated in the UK for more than 30 years, opening its London headquarters in 1989. Today, Macquarie is one of the largest investors in the UK, having invested and arranged more than £50 billion in infrastructure projects since 2005.

At IFA 2015 in Berlin, Germany, Samsung Electronics attracted visitors with a unique cooking show combining dishes made by world-class chefs and virtual reality. The "Cine des Chefs" event, which began with the official opening of the IFA on September 4, showed how culinary masters make dishes with Samsung's "Chef Collection" series of premium kitchen appliances, and offered a chance to taste their food.
Attendees were asked to put on Samsung "Gear VR" headsets to watch chefs harvest fresh produce and cook their dishes. Michel Troisgros, a world-renowned chef and president of Samsung Club des Chefs, gave viewers an exclusive look at a day in the life of a Michelin-starred chef, from choosing the freshest ingredients to incorporating them into fantastic culinary delights.
Besides Troisgros, world-class chefs Elena Arzak and Modest Amaro joined the cooking show and shared their own favorite recipes using the Chef Collection appliances. On the second day, Korean chefs showed off their skills by making Korea traditional foods like baekgimchi and other fusion dishes. Through the "Club des Chefs" project, a collaboration with seven Michelin-starred chefs, Samsung is developing the Chef Collection series of products with the chefs' unique insights and fresh ideas.


Assisting a user with adding attachments to activesync account meetings, and they don't see the 'Add Attachment' option.
Device is Google Pixel 2 on Android 8.1, June 5 security.
Tested with both public 1.6.1 Hub apps, and the latest 1.6.2 beta7.
Calendar attachments aren't supported by Microsoft and EAS until v16, it was not included in the protocol before that.
It is supported by Exchange 2016+, and presumably Office 365, and works with Hub. It may not be supported by other implementations.
The issue is it works on BB Motion and KeyOnes but not on samsung devices from what we are seeing.
I've done some further testing. Issue doesn't appear to be device specific as much as it's related to EAS account being in an Android Enterprise work container.
Anyone else able to confirm?
I presume that enterprise knox settings match accordingly. If they don't allow attachments to Calander then you would be restricted across the board anyway.
All devices tested appear affected in android work profile, BB, Google, and Samsung. So not a Knox setting.
I've also tested UEM IT policy with basically every access granted that I could find.
I've tracked the root cause. It's legacy code in hub that disables the feature when detects a non Microsoft activesync server. Not the first time had this issue, as dealt with this previously with Out of Office feature.
I have a bug reported on the BB beta centrecode site with this info provided. Hopefully can have this code resolved soon.
Yes, it was not originally supported by GroupWise when we rolled the feature out. We will have to add a version check.
We managed to sneak the version check in for today's beta. Do you want to give it a try?
Thanks for letting us know! Much appreciated.

Q: How do I stop configuration parameters from using the same values each time I create a partner I am currently working on implementing OpenERP for the hospital where I work. The hospital has it's own chart of accounts with many income, expense, receiveable and payable accounts. I noticed that each time I create a partner by default it creates properties  "property_account_payable" and "property_account_receivable" and assigns a default account value to it. These values are not the same for all the partners on the system. Is there a way I can stop it from assigning default values and instead assign these values myself? The easiest way I found was to go to the ir.property table in the db and change some values there. This is not very good because when the others start creating partners, I won't want them to have any form of access to the database

A: Those properties appear on the Accounting tab of the Partner screen. They are hidden when you use the simplified view. See the tip at the top of this manual page for instructions on changing to the extended view.

HORRORS OF MALFORMED MEN (1969)
by David Bedwell
After escaping from an insane asylum, a medical student assumes the identity of a mysterious dead man, who appeared to be his doppelgänger, and gets lured to a sinister island ruled by a mad scientist and his malformed men.
If, like me, you've spent years trawling the horror genre, enjoying everything it has to offer, you may have experienced a point where you think 'what else?' as the sequels and remakes and unoriginal ideas pour through from Hollywood. Whether it's bringing back Saw (2004), revisiting The Purge (2013) or The Conjuring (2013), or even older franchises like Predator (1987), it's typical of the genre to spew out easy cash-ins. I still enjoy them to a certain extent, but I've had to widen my net to find something that really surprises me, away from rare cases like Get Out (2017). On the whole, I now look to Europe, Japan, and beyond for more challenging scary stories…
Arrow Video's latest release fits into the 'unique' category quite comfortably, as Horrors of Malformed Men is one of the strangest and most unforgettable experiences I've had in some time. Director Teruo Ishii takes no prisoners, presenting his unflinching vision of nightmares and darkness that was originally withdrawn from cinemas after proving a tough watch for Japanese audiences in 1969. And while there are elements of the movie that now feel dated, it remains an unsettling and visually masterful piece of cinema that deserves to be seen by a wider audience. It's one of those movies that has been heard about more than seen, so this Arrow release is your chance to see Ishii's craft at its very best.
With a screenplay based on the 1926 novel Panorama Island Otan by Edogawa Rampo, Horrors of Malformed Men is remembered for its visuals and monstrous twist on life itself, rather than any comprehensible storyline. That's no bad thing, as the images speak volumes over any attempt to bring the narrative together in a logical manner.
We follow Hirosuke (Teruo Yoshida), an insane man who can't remember his own past but knows he's trapped in an asylum and wants to escape. And after noticing a deceased man in the news who looks just like him, an opportunity presents itself for a whole new life. This is just a means to an end, however, as Hirosuke's memories lead him to a strange island where the fun really begins. If you were wondering where the titular 'malformed men' come in, you'll be pleased to know Hirosuke's trip unearths some of the most disgusting and creepy scientific experiments and mysteries one could hope to find. Tatsumi Hijikata as the doctor is suitably crazy, ramping up the scare factor even more, while the images from cinematographer Shigeru Akatsuka are very frightening but you just can't take your eyes off them.
Viewed in a modern day context, it's fascinating to see how the ideas of Ishii and Rampo have remained relevant, with obvious parallels to stories like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or more recent movie similarities to Re-Animator (1985), or even The Human Centipede (2009). There are no cheap scares or OTT gore here, however; instead, Ishii's vision feels uncomfortable and perverse. It's more like Freaks (1932) in how it treats disabled and disfigured people in such an awful and unfair fashion.
The world has moved on a lot since the late-'60s, so there's certainly material here that feels difficult to watch, although never quite as exploitative as some horror can be. If you're familiar with H.G Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, that's probably the closest comparison, only more extreme. The notion of 'playing God' has long been a thought-provoking subject, and Horrors of Malformed Men adds to the conversation even today.
If you're a fan of David Lynch or Lars Von Trier's filmmaking style, you'll love the more subversive nature of Horrors of Malformed Men. You can see why movies like these don't become critical or commercial successes, but it's nice to see directors and writers pushing boundaries. I can't pretend to have understood half of what Ishii put on screen here, but I do know this will stick with me for far longer than many other modern horror movies. Be warned: it's not an easy watch and doubles down on the grotesque for a memorable ending.

Malformed Movies: a new video interview with Toei exploitation movie screenwriter Masahiro Kakefuda. This is one of a number of featurettes that helps give Horrors of Malformed Men a little context. I would imagine the majority of viewers in 2018 have no idea about the history of Japanese cinema, myself included, and so Kakefuda's insight into Toei is an interesting look at similar movies and the approach to filmmaking from Ishii and other Japanese directors.
Malformed Memories: Filmmakers Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo the Iron Man) and Minoru Kawasaki (The Calamari Wrestler) on the career of director Teruo Ishii. I wasn't too familiar with Ishii before watching this film, so to hear about his other works and how he looked to present his ideas definitely helps one appreciate Horrors of Malformed Men. It's quite the visual trip, so to speak, but there was a definite thought process behind what Ishii wanted to do in this and his other works. Many didn't agree with his methods or ideas over his career, but he has an audience who appreciated what he was trying to do. He's one of the most unique talents in cinematic history, that's for sure.

Your Business Financial
The need for security drives financial planning. Business owners attempt to ensure the survival of their operations by preparing for likely events and asserting control over the future. You reinvest profit, negotiate the best loan rates, and hold onto your cash, deluding yourself that strategy and analysis will protect you from the forces of change. Economist John Kenneth Galbraith stated, "We have two classes of forecasters: Those who don't know—and those who don't know they don't know." Uncertainty is our reality.
When I left home for college, I predicted a positive experience, so the "floating anxiety" I developed was probably a latent reaction to the insecurity of my new independence. While searching for an alternative to tranquilizers, I discovered the book "The Wisdom of Insecurity," in which British philosopher Alan Watts discusses the futility of mankind's search for security. Life is a river with a strong current, he explains. If you fight the current, you eventually drown. If you drift, you eventually hit an obstacle. The trick is to swim with the current, gently easing toward a desired place on the shore.
In business, uncertainty produces anxiety that drives poor financial decisions: acquiring assets in the continual pursuit of growth, insistence on pursuing an obsolete market niche, or continual refinancing that increases debt burdens. To avoid drowning, you must read the currents of market trends and company culture and flow with them.
You must also embrace the concept of serendipity. Considered one of the hardest words to translate, the term derives from a Persian fairy tale, "The Three Princes of Serendip," in which the heroes repeatedly discovered something completely different from the object of their latest quest. Serendipity is the unexpected opportunity that arises while you are pursuing a different goal.
The success of Japanese entrepreneurs has often been linked to their ability to tap into the hunches or intuitive insights of employees and test them throughout the entire organization. American business culture, which is dependent on logic and data, is not as responsive to sudden opportunities or poised to take advantage of them. Fear of failure prevents business owners from embracing serendipity. As a business owner, you will miss the windfalls available to you if you stubbornly adhere to established plans, budgets and marketing strategies.
Think of how many valuable products have been discovered while the engineer, scientist or product developer was working on something else. Vulcanized rubber, safety glass, Post-It notes, and chocolate chip cookies resulted from failed attempts to create other products. When scientist Louis Pasteur stated, "Chance favors the prepared mind," he was referring to serendipity. Looking through a different filter can turn a failure into a new opportunity.
When I was a contractor, I met with the owners of a new residence to negotiate a sizeable contract. The architect had specified our company for the work, so after finalizing some design details, I approached the door, satisfied that the project was beneficial to all parties. Then, the moment of serendipity—the owners asked for my opinion of their prospective general contractors. One was unsuitable and unethical. Two were acceptable. The fourth was a preferred customer, and I gave that firm a glowing recommendation; however, its price would certainly be the highest. I ensured my customer knew of my recommendation; when it got the job, it solidified our relationship even further. Had I hesitated to seize the moment, that job could have been much less profitable and enjoyable for all parties, including the owners.
Disaster also produces serendipity. The forest fire clears old growth that has often slowed and has begun to deteriorate, and the ashes alter the soil, allowing new life to rapidly fill the void. If you have ever mourned the loss of a customer, only to acquire a new one who paid faster and was more cooperative, you have cleared the debris of an old relationship and fostered fresh growth. Or, you may have been forced into a new market niche, such as smart home technology or alarm systems, and found it to be your most profitable work. At a meeting you almost skipped, you may have met a new banker or discovered a new product line. While attending your child's school play, you may have generated a referral to a new customer from the parent next to you. A budget crisis may have unveiled efficiencies or new life in assets you had intended to replace. A sudden illness or operation that kept you from the office may have allowed key employees to step up and use their potential in ways you never would have noticed.
Serendipity comes in many forms. Prepare your mind, go with the flow, and you will be surprised at what you discover while you're searching for something else.

Regarding International Law, Treaties and Agreements. In reality it is not as it seems. On the surface we all pretend to be on the up and up. The United States is a very proper nation in terms of our treaties and agreements and have been for hundreds of years, but no one else is; i.e. Oil-4-Foods, 3800 Chinese Spies in D.
C., French Foreign Legion spying and shenanigans, Israeli spying, Russian Spying, Syrian games all supposedly on our side in or declared non-hostiles.Today we have extortion negotiations and threats from Nation States of nuclear weapons manufacturing and rogue elements of International Terrorism. Deadly combination. We must protect the American People and our allies while we are at it. We should not kid ourselves, the UN is used as a spy organization for many and many dangerous precedents were set by the International Terrorist element and their nation state secret sponsors during 9-11, Madrid Train, Egypt bombings, Bali, The Tube, Philippine ferry, etc.
A dangerous precedent was also set in believing that we could deal in a world where guns, drugs, oil, precious gems and arms are considered stronger trading commodities and preferred over most actual currencies. The most dangerous precedent of all is assuming that the rest of the World is playing fair just because we are and it is also a dangerous precedent to be in denial that we can fight International Terrorism in the present period using cake and cookies. I say to the Islamic World, why can't you control your own people?.Why is it our problem for the Islamic World not dealing with their problem, now suddenly it is our problem and we have to deal with it? So we should by any and all means possible and at a time and place of our choosing.
And since we cannot be loved and respected, it stand to reason that we should strive to be the second best choice; "Feared and Respected." Appeasement isn't working whether a socialist nightmare country that Ayn Rand warned us about, a communist nation state, a banana republic or a Great Republic like the United States of America.

Captain Sandy was a New Zealand-bred Standardbred racehorse. He is notable in that he won two Inter Dominion Pacing Championship races and two Auckland Cups. He was inducted into the Inter Dominion Hall of Fame, being the first horse to win two grand finals of the race.

He was foaled in 1942 at Oamaru, in the South Island of New Zealand, and reared as a poddy foal, owing to an uncaring dam. Captain Sandy was by Sandydale (USA) P.2:01 ¾ from Waikaura (F1931) by Guy Parrish (USA) tracing through mares by imported sires to the ex-Australian mare Ella G (F1897) by Vancleve (USA) from Rosebud by Tempest (F1885 by Childe Harold (USA)).

Major wins
He won the following major races:
 1948 Auckland Pacing Cup
 1949 Hannon Memorial
 1949 Auckland Pacing Cup
 1949 NZ Stake Earner of the Year (Pacers) $21,458
 1950 Inter Dominion
 1953 Inter Dominion
 1953, 1954 Easter Cup (Lord Mayor's Cup)

Captain Sandy also set a new world record on a half mile track of 1:59, breaking Greyhound's record established in 1937.  Captain Sandy amassed a total of £43,000 breaking the record of the time held by Highland Fling. He was also the highest stakes winning Thoroughbred or Standardbred, in both Australia and New Zealand until the Thoroughbred, Hydrogen won a higher amount.

Captain Sandy was second in the 1949 New Zealand Trotting Cup behind Loyal Nurse with Lady Averil third.

Q: CSS won't load in Firefox, IE, Edge, but works fine in Chrome I'm developing a site and have been using Chrome for testing. When I test the site in multiple browsers, I have no problem viewing the site in my local development environment. Today, I'm ready to launch the site. I transfer my files, pull the file up online, and find that my CSS only works in Chrome, not in other browsers. Why?
Firefox error message: "Style sheet could not be loaded."
Explorer error message: (evidently no message)
Code for linking to the CSS file:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style/style.php">

There's nothing in particular that makes this stylesheet different from any other I've ever made, but I am using a hosting plan I've not used before.

A: While the .php file extension for type="text/css" import declaration is not problematic, it's best to make sure you don't have any actual PHP in the file. It's also possible that your new hosting provider could also require that CSS files use the .css extension for reasons of security, policy, etc.
Typically when browsers encounter unacceptable files in a scenario like this, they error out with a 406 response code. It's odd that Chrome is not giving you a problem while other browsers are.
At any rate, switching to a pure CSS file with a .css extension should make all the browsers happy, because we know that method works in every browser.


A Master Degree in Engineering or equivalent qualification with at least eight (8) years experience in a senior managerial position, PhD will be an added advantage. Good working knowledge of ICT applications is of paramount importance. Should have strong background in project design development and implementation plus appropriate analytical skills with good command of both oral and written English and Kiswahili languages.

Palermo is a TCU sophomore from Long Island, N.Y. who was just reminded that good players would prefer to be a Maverick more than a Knick.
Kristaps Porzingis is a Dallas Maverick and his teammate will be Luka Doncic. That's a team. It's an incomplete team, and one that won't make the playoffs this year, but these two young men will do some damage.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's grand plan to rebuild the team after they won the 2011 NBA title was a disaster until now. He and GM Donnie Nelson just pulled off the reversal of the Hershel Walker trade, or the equivalent of sending Robert Traylor to the Bucks for Dirk Nowitzki.
Or Trae Young to the Hawks for Doncic.
The Dallas Mavericks are now Eastern Europe's favorite team, and have the whitest collection of basketball studs since the '80s Boston Celtics. Too bad Dirk Nowitzki is too old to enjoy this.
Doncic was never going to be the next Dirk, because their games are different. The guy who was going to be the next Dirk was Porzingis, and the Mavs just stole him from New York.
That's who Porzingis is; he is Dirk 2.0. Assuming he returns to full health.
Porzingis, 23, has been out for nearly a full year after he suffered a torn ACL. Reports on the knee have been encouraging, however, and he has been expected to return to the floor in February.
To acquire Porzingis, the Mavs sent DeAndre Jordan, guard Wes Matthews, and guard Dennis Smith Jr. to the Knicks. The Mavs also sent the Knicks two first round draft picks, which means the team will not have a selection in that round for what will feel like a decade.
The Mavs will also receive guard Trey Burke, and guards Courtney Lee and Tim Hardaway Jr. Burke may be a player whereas the other two are salary dumps.
As reported here last week, the Mavs were not going to re-sign Jordan, who will be a free agent after the season. They had been open to dealing Matthews since the day he signed as a free agent.
Dealing DSJ, who was a lottery pick in 2017, became the priority when it was apparent that Doncic was this team's best point guard. DSJ struggles to play off the ball, and there have been some other issues on the floor between he and coach Rick Carlisle.
DSJ left the team for six games as the Mavs explored trade options, and only returned when the two sides tacitly agreed to showcase him before the trade deadline.
The plan worked. On Jan. 30 in New York against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden, DSJ scored 13 points with 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a Mavs' blowout win.
One day later, Porzingis reportedly met with Knicks management to express his frustration with the team. He reportedly did the same thing in the summer of 2017, when I begged the Mavericks to trade for him as the answer to their problems.
Although Knicks fans booed when the team selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 draft, he has developed into a Dirk type. A legit 7-foot-3, "Porzingod" averages 17.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in his career.
He was an All-Star selection last season and was averaging 22.7 points per game when he suffered his knee injury.
He was the Knicks' future. Only he wants to win, so he wanted his future to be anywhere other than with the Knicks.
Even if Porzingis returns today, the Mavs are not making the playoffs as presently constructed. The team is 23-28, and they just traded away their best rebounder, and a decent NBA guard.
They will need a center, and a guard to play next to Doncic.
The trade was not about this season but the next several years. Putting Doncic next to Porzingod has the makings of the type of duo necessary to win an NBA title.
Cuban's plan to rebuild the Mavs after their title never worked until the acquisition of Doncic.
They now can move forward without Dirk, because they just landed his replacement.

Tu Hovein Main Hovan: Jimmy Sheirgill & Kulraj Randhawa To Share Screen Space Again!
By: Gurwinder | October 11, 2019
Jimmy Sheirgill and Kulraj Randhawa worked together in Mannat & Tera Mera Ki Rishta. Now, over a decade after Tera Mera Ki Rishta, both will be seen together in a film called Tu Hovein Main Hovan.
Coincidentally, the film's title has been taken from their yesteryear film Mannat's popular song "Paani Dian Challan Hovein, Tu Hove Main Hovan".
Both are busy shooting for the film in England. Made under Very Filmy Productions & Intact Films, Tu Hovein Main Hovan will be directed by Vakil Singh. He had previously assisted in Manmohan Singh's films. Apart from Jimmy & Kulraj, the film will also have Sajjan Adeeb, Delbar Arya, Anita Devgan and more actors in important characters.
Sajjan Adeeb made his film debut this year with Laiye Ve Yaarian, while Delbar Arya is going to make her debut opposite Harbhajan Maan in the film PR. It is a big step for her to get another big film even before making her onscreen debut in the Punjabi industry. Makers of the film have not revealed any official details about the film. Also, no one from the lead cast has shared any detail about the title or co-stars of the film.

Coming back to Jimmy & Kulraj, It will be interesting to see them back on screen after a decade. But let us give you a piece of rare information - Jimmy and Kulraj were supposed to be together in Nidhi Singh too but Jimmy could not adjust his dates and Gurdas Maan was signed for the cameo in that film.
But finally after all these years, they are coming together again and we just can't hold our excitement.

Bugglebots is a new robot combat webseries that was created as a response to Robot Wars being cancelled. The first series has finished airing and was created entirely by volunteers for the love of robot combat. We had 30 teams from across the UK, Europe and even the USA fight it out to become the Bugglebots Champion in front of a live audience. So far it has amassed over 4000 followers across social media, and over 80000 views.
Bugglebots was the most enjoyable robot combat event I've ever been to. Fantastically run by a great group of people who put their hearts and souls into an amazing end product. Snappy and I anxiously await the next season!
It was a joy to take part in the show, and I'm glad it was my re-introduction into the hobby. There's a real community spirit in all robot combat competitions, but even more so for Bugglebots where everyone was giving it their all to make something from the community for audiences around the world.
The show has generated huge interest in the beetleweight combat robot class, both in the UK and internationally. Building beetleweight robots is a great practical and accessible way to learn about electrical and mechanical engineering concepts, and having something like Bugglebots around to spark people's imaginations is just fantastic!
Overall I can't wait for the second season and hope I'll be able to be a part of this wonderful show again!

CBE to issue environmentally friendly polymer banknotes
Egypt IndependentJanuary 10, 2020
The Central Bank of Egypt will begin printing environmentally-friendly currency made of polymer upon relocation to its new headquarters in Egypt's new administrative capital, according to a statement from the Cabinet media center.
The CBE is set to launch a cash printing facility equipped with the latest currency production machines in the new capital, with four lines in the new printing house to be allocated for the first time for the production of money made from a synthetic polymer.
Egypt's Central Bank will begin by printing a polymer LE10 note, the statement added.
Polymer banknotes are said to be safer due to the inclusion of additional security features that make it harder for people to make counterfeit money.
Polymer currency is also considered environmentally-friendly, lasting far longer than paper money and reducing replacement costs, according to the Bank of England on its website.
The UK's central bank began issuing banknotes made of plastic in 2016, and have already produced a polymer £5 note and £10 note, with plans to issue a polymer £20 note as well next month.
Canada, meanwhile, began investing in polymer banknotes in 2011 after determining that the production of polymer currency proved less harmful for the environment when compared to paper currency.
For example, while paper currency is usually shredded and taken to a landfill, polymer banknotes taken out of circulation are turned to pellets and recycled, according to a 2016 article in Finance & Development, the IMF's flagship magazine and online editorial platform.
Australia, which now uses polymer banknotes exclusively, first issued polymer currency in 1988. Polymer banknotes are also used in Vietnam and New Zealand, among other countries.

Vancouver facing shortfall of talent to fill tech jobs that are coming, report shows
Gillian Shaw
Ambrosia Humphrey, vice-president for talent at Hootsuite
Vancouver will have more than 15,500 tech job openings between now and 2019, a recent report shows, which will intensify an already competitive job market that has companies fighting to attract new talent and keep employees from heading south of the border.
"There are two different kinds of stories told with talent and tech," said Ambrosia Humphrey, vice-president for talent at Hootsuite. "One is that there are too many people leaving and one is we're bringing too many people in."
"We feel the same kind of contradictory messaging. We definitely feel some of our employees are going south of the border for opportunities — the brain drain is very real.
"On the other side of it, we actually find it hard to bring in talent through immigration."
Humphrey said because there aren't a lot of headquarters here, there's a disconnect between demand for senior leadership and the supply of people who can fill those roles.
"We need senior leadership. We need someone who has brought this across the line before. We need people who have taken companies public — that's a big one for us," said Humphrey, whose company has more than doubled in size since January 2014, growing from 360 to 782 employees, with 556 of those jobs in Vancouver.
Humphrey said Hootsuite is also developing talent here.
"I don't want to drop a ceiling on everybody here who has worked for the past four years to build this company with us," she said. "We're constantly balancing."
Potential employees look not only to a single company recruiting them, but to whether or not the sector has the critical mass to ensure there will be other opportunities should they want to change jobs.
"In terms of Vancouver as a magnet for talent, we think first of all Vancouver is a great city … a great place to live, but because of its tech hub, it's also a great place for people who are the best and the brightest computer scientists around the world," said Dennis Lopes, legal and corporate affairs director with Microsoft Canada.
"And as they look around at places where they may want to live, one of the considerations has to be the degree of flexibility that their new home will provide them in terms of alternative careers."
"Having a tech hub in place already makes it an easier choice for folks who are looking to relocate here."
The Microsoft Canada Excellent Centre, a research hub opening in the newly revamped Pacific Centre complex, will bring together "the best and the brightest minds" from around the world, Lopes said. The Excellence Centre will help strengthen the tech hub here and many of the people who work at it will choose to make Vancouver a permanent place to live, he said.
Microsoft has been given a labour market exemption for the new centre, which lets the company bring in foreign workers without having to conduct a labour market impact assessment for every position to see if there is a Canadian to fill the job.
Concerns over the shortage of tech talent are borne out by a study released last week by the Information and Communications Technology Council. The Council's labour market outlook 2015-2019 shows there will be a shortfall of tech talent to fill jobs across Canada, with an estimated demand for 182,000 new people to fill jobs. According to the report, we're not producing enough homegrown talent to meet the demand.
"Vancouver, and for that matter Canada, needs to produce more ICT professionals to meet the needs of the labour market," Lopes said, a statement echoed by many in the sector.
"We have a shortage of talent," said Bill Tam, president and CEO of the BC Technology Industries Association. "Finding people is by far and away, if not the top issue, certainly in the top two issues for tech companies," he said, adding that the second issue is venture capital, especially for early-stage investment.
"I think the importance of the discussion is that we truly need to have many different ingredients to make a solid ecosystem here," Tam said. "Some of that is building homegrown anchor success stories like HootSuite, Global Relay and Avigilon and Westport and companies like that. But you also have to bring in a mix of multinational firms, many of which have landed and grown here."
Late last year, the BCTIA launched its Innovation Hub, aimed at helping emerging startup companies attract the talent they need in order to grow.
Vancouver's Vision Critical has seen meteoric growth since it started in 2000 with five people. Today the company is one of Canada's top software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies and it focuses on building cloud-based customer communities for companies. It has 360 of its 700 worldwide staff in Vancouver, with plans to hire another 50 here and 80 more across the country.
"The appetite for great talent is bottomless in software," said Tyler Douglas, Vision Critical's chief marketing officer. "It's definitely a challenge.
"At some level businesses compete for the best talent, which is good for the city, good for the province and for the country."
The announcement last week of $10.7 million in federal funding for an incubator program created by a partnership of Simon Fraser University, Ryerson University and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is expected to result in an additional 300 companies and more than 750 new direct jobs.
SFU president Andrew Petter said the program will leverage university research to drive job creation and economic growth in the private sector.
Petter said our companies tend to be branch plants of foreign-based companies and small and medium-sized companies often don't have the critical mass and internal capacity to do research and development.
"What we've been trying to do at SFU and what Ryerson is doing in Toronto is using some really innovative models to try to show how university research and university capacity can have a much more direct impact on job growth and innovation in the private sector," he said.

#1 What is Challenge Monitor?
Challenge Monitor is a challenge platform, which allows the proposal of online challenges about different themes that people want to promote or get their audiences to discover. It offers a different and more interactive kind of training, by bringing out the competitive side of your audiences.
#2 What is a challenge?
The general principle is to inform and train by playing, following the principles of a serious game. "Challenge" returns to the quiz principle, which gives challenges to the participants. "Monitor" indicates steer, follow-up and management of the Challenges because, depending on his/her needs, the client can propose this type of operation periodically (an annual challenge, for new product launches...).
#4 Can one call it a training tool?
Challenge Monitor enables the highlighting of key information about themes tackled in the various challenges. The challenges proposed relate to the participants' knowledge, and the competitive instinct encourages participants to strengthen their knowledge by consulting the resources given to them. Challenge Monitor also offers the possibility of collecting information to establish or reinforce a contact base, or survey participants about a subject, product, brand etc.
Challenge Monitor is therefore both a communication and promotional tool, a training tool and a tool for conducting surveys. Depending on your objectives, Challenge Monitor can be geared to reinforce one or another of these aspects.
#5 How do you access the challenges?
The games campaigns are deployed from the Challenge Monitor platform that e-teach makes available in SAAS mode. All you need is an access and Internet browser, which has a flash plug-in. Individual access is possible with a user name and password. Different registration methods are available (central registration by the manager, self-registration with control in one of the fields etc.).
As the hosting is proposed in SAAS mode (so hosted by e-teach), we take care of all the maintenance, security, backups and bandwidth etc.
#6 How do you manage challenges?
An administration interface enables registrations to be managed and the activity of each challenge to be accompanied. It is therefore possible to get the statistics for each participant or group of participants (branches, regions, countries...). The administration interface also allows access to data collected in the various questionnaires or surveys proposed in the game.

What study and career path has taken you to Customs House?
I decided to go overseas to study Hotel Management in Switzerland at the Hotel Institute Montreaux. It was a fantastic opportunity to study with students from 38 different nationalities. I started my career working for Hyatt International in Australia and Switzerland. I continued working overseas in London before returning to Australia to discover the this newly renovated jewel called Customs House.
You've recently made improvements on the lower level. What's changed?
We wanted to create an additional event space that captures and links to the spectacular views of the river and Story Bridge. Once a part of the Queens Warehouse, the brand new space flows seamlessly out onto the water front terrace, making for breathtaking backdrop. Inside the new space, the most eye-catching feature is a dazzling geometric ceiling, an architecture designed pattern of triangular bronze panels which give a unique, contemporary edge to the classical setting. Our latest event space can be adapted to host weddings for up to 120 and cocktail soirees for up to 200.
What changes have you seen in the wedding industry over the past 10 years?
Ten years ago you use to see weddings from New York that were at the next level when it came to styling but today in Australia we are leaders on the world stage. We have seen weddings progress from simple yet elegant affairs to jaw dropping visual feasts. Most weddings were also church affairs but today most of our couples like to combine their reception with a ceremony by the river. I feel that it makes for a more relaxing day as you don't need to rush in-between two venues.
What wedding trends are you seeing now and what do predict for the coming 3 years?
The level of styling will continue to increase as suppliers are importing new chairs, candelabras, linen etc. I also predict that projection and lighting seen more at corporate events will also start to be used at weddings to create more mood into the reception rooms. This year I am attending Engage with is a luxury wedding summit being held in Ireland. It brings together the top 300 wedding professional from around the world to share ideas and to inspire each other.
Customs House has attracted good staff, what do you put this down to?
We try to encourage a great culture by respecting opinions and embracing diversity. Next year we are focusing on two charities were we involve the team as give back to the community.
What food and beverage options most appeal to couples?
Top local seafood is always a great way to start the evening. We feature sweet spanner crab which is hand-picked to salads with Moreton Bay Bugs and scallops from Hervey Bay. If our couples aren't having cake for dessert a classic end to the meal is our stunning crème brulee.
You've met hundreds of couples over the years. Which ones stand out and why?
My favourite couples are organised as they are not stressed as they have a plan and a timetable so they can relax the days before their wedding. You always have guests flying before the wedding so ensure all the boxes have been ticked and deliveries done two days before your big day. Don't forget to delegate to trusted friends and family!
What wedding day tips do you have for couples?
Choose a venue where you trust the team so you can relax and enjoy your day. Remind your family and friends that first and foremost it is your day. Don't be forced by your family into decisions that you really don't want but at the same time try to involve them in your day.
What's the next big thing for Customs House?
We are sourcing some new candelabras from overseas so we can't wait to see them on our tables!
What part of the world is on your next vacation itinerary?
I normally escape the winter to southern Europe for a few weeks in July or August but next year I am getting married so we are off to the Maldives to relax for a week!
When you arrive home after a wedding or corporate event what do you like doing?
Relax on the sofa with my partner enjoying a single malt scotch.
We enjoy a slow roasted lamb shoulder. We can roast it for 6 hours so it is tender and juicy and all is prepared so we can spend the time with our guests rather than being in the kitchen.
What is your personal number one online retailer for purchases?
Massimo Dutti as I love their suits and casual clothes. They don't really deliver to Australia but I am lucky as my fiancé is an international flight attendant.
Favourite web site(s) / Ap?
Instagram – It is wonderful to see images from colleagues around the world and the events that they are creating for their clients.
What is the one thing you always pack when traveling (apart from a phone charger)?


China is likely to buy more of the animal feed ingredient from the United States, even after tariffs. That's despite government assurances it can diversify away from more than $12 bln of annual U.S. purchases. Markets sense it coming; others might soon see through bluster too.
Soy beans are seen at a Grobocopatel Hermanos company storage plant in Carlos Casares, Argentina, April 16, 2018. Picture taken April 16, 2018.
A ship carrying nearly 70,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans entered the Chinese port of Dalian on Aug. 11, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon shipping data. The vessel arrived in the area more than a month earlier, shortly after the imposition of retaliatory tariffs.
China imposed tariffs on $34 billion of U.S. imports, including autos, soybeans and other agricultural products, on July 6.
China may need to start purchasing U.S. soybeans in the coming weeks as other countries cannot produce enough to meet its demand, analysts at Oil World said on Aug. 7.
Soybeans were the biggest U.S. agricultural export to China in 2017.

How many times have we heard our grannies and moms insist that we have that Haldi doodh? How many times have they told us about the umpteen benefits of Haldi for our skin? Obviously then, turmeric is a household favourite and here are all the reasons why.
Turmeric comes packed with antiseptic and healing properties, it is easily available and it is super safe too.
There is a reason why Indian weddings have a special haldi ceremony as a part of their wedding rituals. Turmeric's high antioxidant properties rejuvenate dull and lifeless skin, helps improve and even out the complexion, and brightens the skin. It provides luster and shine to the skin and brings out its natural glow.
BB Pro Tip: Use a turmeric and rose water pack once every week to control the sebum levels of your skin. So just mix in some milk with two teaspoons of haldi and apply it as a face pack once a week for a soft, supple skin.
Psoriasis is a skin condition when your skin is inflamed and it starts to peel. Known for its anti-inflammatory qualities, turmeric helps a great deal in controlling and keeping these skin inflammations under check. It works really well to calm and soothe skin psoriasis. Additionally, turmeric also aids in lowering cytokines levels that stimulate cell inflammation and maybe a cause of psoriasis.
BB Pro Tip: Add turmeric to your diet and to your face packs to treat Psoriasis but make sure you consult your doctor before you start taking any home remedies.
Oily skin is one problem that most of us face. Excessively oily skin is a condition usually caused due to an overactive sebaceous gland, which causes various skin issues such as acne and inflammations. Turmeric is a rich source of fatty acids and phytosterols that keep oil production under check and helps keep your skin clear and smooth.
BB Pro Tip: Use a turmeric and rose water pack once every week to control the sebum levels of your skin.
Turmeric is used in Indian food to give it a beautiful flavour. The bleaching properties of turmeric are another great way to help reduce uneven skin tone and pigmentation. This herb has antiseptic properties that keep skin infections at bay.
BB Pro Tip: Simply apply a mixture of one tsp of turmeric powder with 1 tsp of lemon juice to affected area and rinse it off after 30 minutes. Welcome clear, blemish free skin!
Turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants that help flush the toxins out and in turn ease out your digestive system, which in turn clears your skin.
BB Pro Tip: To add this wonder ingredient to your diet, mix in some haldi with a glass of milk and drink it every third day, to stay healthy.


This little bat is proud of it's fancy colors.
This figurine was sculpted with polymer clay, painted in acrylics, and sealed with a protective varnish. Embedded in it's belly is a labradorite gem. It measures about 1 3/4 inch tall.


The earliest known proposal for an online encyclopedia was made by Rick Gates in 1993, but the concept of an open source web-based online encyclopedia was proposed a little later by Richard Stallman around 1999. Wikipedia was formally launched on 15 January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger using the concept and technology of a wiki pioneered by Ward Cunningham. Initially Wikipedia was created as a complement and "feeder" to Nupedia, an expert-written online encyclopedia project, in order to provide an additional source of draft articles and ideas. It quickly overtook Nupedia, growing to become a large global project in multiple languages, and originating a wide range of additional reference projects. Today Wikipedia includes 15 million freely usable articles in over two hundred languages worldwide, and content from a million registered user accounts and countless anonymous contributors.

The Kings of New York: A Year Among the Geeks, Oddballs, and Genuises Who Make Up America's Top HighSchool Chess Team by Michael Weinreb should interest all progressive educators and members of the John Dewey society.
The Kings is a profile of the national championship winning chess dynasty at Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, New York. Murrow is a magnet school for gifted kids that provides a lot of protected space for its students to 'do their own thing'. The founding principal, Saul Bruckner, transferred to Murrow from John Dewey High School in Coney Island, a school with a project-based curriculum, where the students did not receive grades. Murrow went even further in the 'progressive school' mode, providing lots of free time by having each class meet only four days a week and looking the other way if kids hung out in the school yard or smoked in the bathroom, or even cut classes for weeks on end. As the principal of this school for its first thirty years, Bruckner became something of a cult figure in New York high school circles. Surprisingly, Diane Ravitch has praised the school, perhaps because of the great achievements of many of its students.
The chess coach, Elliot Weiss, had a scouting system for chess talent that makes major league sports look, well, minor league. By placing himself on the board of the organization running chess tournaments in the New York region, he had early notice of promising elementary school kids. And even though competition for admission to Murow was very stiff, Weiss could get these kids into Murrow even if their academic performance through Junior High was terrible. And chess prodigies, obsessed by the game, are notoriously poor school students.
An organization called Chess in the Schools (CIS) had funded chess instruction at several New York elementary and middle schools, and one, PS 318, had become a chess dynasty because its instructors were high ranked master players. 318 became, in effect, the farm team for Murrow.
Kings chronicles a couple of years in the life of the team members as they pursue their national championships. The players include Russian and Lithuanian immigrants, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, and African-Americans. Each is a kind of troubled genius with a fascinating life story.
What stands out is how a considerable number of selfless heros (I do not use this word lightly) including Bruckner, Weiss, the funders of Chess in the Schools, the chess instructors, and a few private benefactors, made this incredible story possible.
Even when you add up how much they all had to give in time and effort and money so that a bunch of misfit geniuses could develop their unusual natural gifts, however, you realize that a rich country like this could provide something as wonderful for everyone needing it and capable of gaining from it. If, that is, the entire culture were not so slanted to selfishness and greed and if accountability schemes would stop driving them out and destroying schools like Murrow.
The book documents the steady changes in Murrow school brought about by No Child Left Behind, as well as by draconian school security measures imposed by the Bloomburg administration that have eliminated free time, hanging out, and cutting classes.

Home / Learn / Naturally Dyed Eggs: We tried it!
Naturally Dyed Eggs: We tried it!
It's a fitting ritual, no matter your beliefs or religious affiliations, the welcoming of spring with baskets of eggs, dyed by children's hands in pastel colors. An egg, a universal symbol of promise and potential, fertility and mystery, a potent symbol of the season and the times. Also, a nutritious food, containing healthy fats and protein.
We set out on a springtime whim, to create our own dyes with foods found in the garden and the market. The internet is rife with ideas, some more helpful than others; we did successfully make and dye both white and brown eggs in pastel shades of primary colors. Do you feel the invisible asterisk floating above these words? It's there, hovering, like a star in the early gray hours, in a sky half-clouded with silver linings. Make a wish, starlight, star bright. Here is what we learned.
For those of us who were raised on Red Lake #40, the color that boiled beets impart to an eggshell is bound to underwhelm at first glance. It seems to brighten, however, if one banishes the thought of cherry plastic red candy-color from the mind, and instead summons up images of sunset, roses, and flushed cheeks. The same is true of yellow. Even turmeric, that most tenacious yellow stainer, seemed less vibrant than we had expected--until we adjusted our expectations. How is it that a root (fresh, or the powdered, dried form of the spice) can stain wood, skin, even stainless steel, but impart only a bright lemony wash to the blank canvas of a white eggshell? But look again. Is the hue lacking, because it is not a violent, brilliant, fluorescent color? Or is it a truer reflection of the season, steeped as it is in the possible, the attainable, the pure and close at hand?
The color of meringue, or souffle; delicate clouds of lemon-yellow possibility. Doubtless there is a chemical answer, and surely more rigorous testing might have been done. Still, equipped as we are, with a pair of 3 year olds, and a 5 and an 6 year old we set out on a mission to create egg dyes that we would feel safe eating; no easy task in this day and age. Furthermore, we resolved not to waste anything that we used, a promise that we ended up keeping only if you consider that feeding organic spinach and cabbage to the pigs is not considered wasting. Here are the the results of our admittedly unscientific survey, conducted this fine spring day, in the open air, with the help of beloved children who shall remain nameless, though their contributions were manifold. The results are arranged by color.
It's the first color of the rainbow, the color of blood and passion and beets. Yes, beets. No red is richer than the inside of a beet, concentric rings of crimson layered upon one another like the growth of tree rings, or centuries of sedimentary rock. Anyone who has cooked beets knows well the stain that they leave, on plate or pot. Generally, if beets are to be boiled, they are best left with their tops and tails intact, to preserve their vital nutrients; these can be trimmed off after cooking. However, in the interest of getting the most potent hue to dye eggs in, we quartered 4 or 5 of the beets and let them boil for about 30 minutes, until they were ready to eat.
Then we scooped them out, to eat with that night's dinner. (Beets with goat cheese and dill, if you wondered.) The beet tails and tops were run through a food mill and tossed back in to boil for another 15 minutes. In the end, we got about a pint of brilliant red juice to use as a dye. It was perhaps the most instantly gratifying of the dyes, producing a light pink wash on contact. It was difficult to convince our young testers to let an egg soak in the dye for very long, but the longer it soaked, the deeper the rose color became. The color seemed most rich on farm fresh brown eggs. The natural coating that covers each egg as it comes from the chicken seemed to absorb the color best; however, it took longer to dry, and could be wiped off with the swipe of a finger if handled before the dye dried. This coating, which keeps the egg fresher for longer, is required by law to be washed off of eggs that are sold to the general public. A white egg from a local farm, washed and sold in the grocery store, absorbed the dye quickly, but did not attain as rich a hue as the brown eggs.
It seemed a slam-dunk, to those of us who regularly cook with turmeric. The tropical root, native to India, colors everything it touches with a persistent yellow stain. We chopped the fresh, ginger-like root up into small pieces and boiled it for 30 minutes, a method which yielded a bright yellow broth. Wanting a greater intensity, however, we added a heaping tablespoon full of powdered spice, which thickened and concentrated the color.
An egg dipped into this mixture acquired a cheerful yellow hue, the color of yellow Rosa Banksia in bloom; pale, soft, sunny yellow, seemingly redolent of pie crust and amber.
Purple/Blue
It's a fine line between the two, when you are dealing with vegetable dyes. We boiled red cabbage for 2 hours, until it paled and began to loose it's color. We then fed the cabbage to the pigs, but left the 2 quarts of liquid to cook overnight in the Crockpot, where it slowly reduced down to about a pint. Though purple in color, it made a gorgeous blue/violet dye, reminiscent of denim, or a stormy ocean. The longer it soaked, the deeper the hue became.
We also read on the interwebs, that Red Zinger tea makes a lovely lavender colored dye. We experimented with a hibiscus tea, similar to Red Zinger, that was a gorgeous crimson color when brewed. Strangely enough, it did make a pale lavender dye! Although the two colors seemed quite similar in the pot, the colors they imparted to the eggs were very different.
Seems easy, right? After all, how many green things are there in the vegetable aisle! But as it turns out, it takes more than a green hue to create dye. Interestingly, even other colors that made a brilliant colored tea, did not stick to a substrate well. We experimented with edible red and purple flowers that made a bright tea that did not stick to anything. And so it was with green dye. The internet suggested spinach, but before harvesting perfectly good spinach for dye, we attempted to use a motley assortment of harvested weeds and greens; lemon balm, hedge nettle, bedstraw, grass, milk thistle. Although these reduced to a nutritious looking tea, they impart color to an eggshell, or anything else. Spinach, too, failed to dye anything we dipped into the cooking liquid. The best we got was a sludgy, silty covering that looked like a murky pond. And although we wanted to eat the cooked spinach, it was apparently more sandy than we had thought, before throwing it into the pot. Hence the silt. To the pigs!
Apparently, vinegar or salt are needed as fixatives, to ensure that the dye sticks to the egg. The beet and turmeric mixtures seemed to work as well with or without vinegar. A pint of purple cabbage dye benefited from the addition of a tablespoon of vinegar, as did the hibiscus.
We like to pride ourselves here, on giving advice only when we know what we're talking about. We're the first to admit if we don't have the answer. So in a sense it's strange, to be talking about this at all; perhaps there are some actual fiber artists or other dye experts shaking their heads out there at our bumbling experiments. Certainly, there is more to be learned here.
But we learned plenty, on this sunny spring day. Sure, there were lessons about color, and process, and we have a better appreciation for the art and science of dyeing because of this little experiment. But mostly we learned to carry on and interpret a tradition in a natural way that made sense for our bellies, our kids, and the planet. We also learned that left to their own, three year olds can peel and eat up to eight hard boiled eggs before slowing down.
And that if you chop up the rest of the hardboiled eggs, no matter what color, and mix them with mayo and zucchini relish and chopped onion and bell peppers and pickled asparagus and salt and pepper, it makes a darn fine egg salad.

Celebrity Justice/
Rapper Rick Ross Sued: His Pitbulls Killed Neighbor's Dog
By Cynthia Hsu, Esq. on June 29, 2011 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
Rapper Rick Ross has been sued by a neighbor. According to the suit, Rick Ross' pitbull attacked the neighbor's dog.
The neighbor's suit claims that three pitbulls ran away from Ross' home in Atlanta. They then somehow got into her home and attacked her dog, Banks, according to celebrity gossip source TMZ.
Banks was a small Yorkshire Terrier, reports TMZ.
The tiny dog suffered from 3 bite wounds on his back and a large bite wound on his neck, according to the court documents obtained by TMZ. Officials responded to the attack but by the time they got there and freed the little dog, it was too late.
The neighbor had to euthanize her beloved pet, TMZ reports.
Ross was cited by investigators after the event, but the neighbor isn't satisfied. Her lawsuit is demanding $15,000 from the rapper. The court documents allege losses from the death of her dog, punitive damages, loss of consortium, loss of wages and negligence.
And, the neighbor is especially upset because Ross never apologized for the incident, reports TMZ.
Depending on the laws of the state, a pet owner may be entitled to damages stemming from their pet's death. The amount of damages can be calculated as to the cost of the pet, such as how much was spent on purchasing the pet and registering the pet if it is a purebred. If the owner spent money on additional veterinary bills due to the attack, they may be able to recover those damages as well. And, depending on the state, the owner can recover for loss of companionship, mental anguish and punitive damages.
Rick Ross, sued by his neighbor, should take a page in humility. Or, at least apologize for the incident - after all, it was Rick Ross' pitbull that caused the death of Banks.
