Guy Coates' A3 sheets are legendary. Covered in scribbled pencil and eraser marks – the figures are almost illegible. The long-time rancher, originally from Montana, USA, would lay them out on the coffee table at his Waipuna cattle station and try to figure out how to grow his business.
His yearly budget and forecasts laid bare, Guy's accountant Ben Gilmour, from Moore Stephens Markhams Hawkes Bay, could see the hard work he'd put in. But Ben knew immediately that this paper-based system was slowing things down for the Coates family.
Rounding out Guy's financial team alongside Ben was Chris Lamb from ASB Bank. The trio were itching to grow Guy's business and ditch the cumbersome A3 sheets.
"Also, having done the budgets on paper, you didn't want to change it, ever! Change meant hours of work erasing all of those figures and putting in new ones. [Having a paper-based system was] really a disincentive to try and be creative with your budget, take on risks, and grow. It was easy to just keep doing things the way I had always done it" Guy recalls.
Communication is just key, and the basis for that is the information we need to make the right decisions. The fast lane of technology, with cloud-based systems like Xero and Figured, was something Chris Lamb, ASB's rural manager in the Hawkes Bay and Guy's banker, was always working to keep on top of. Having worked in rural banking for more than quarter of a century, he's seen a lot of technological change in the farming sector.
"We didn't even have computers when I started," says Chris. "Farmers have literally gone from writing figures on the back of cigarette packets to Xero and Figured in 25 years!" he laughs.
A major shift for the team has been to how they go over the annual review. "[Before Xero and Figured] It was like driving forward and always looking in the rearview mirror," says Guy.
"The hardest part is getting their [a client's] buy-in," says Ben. "People don't like change. If they're using CashManager, say… even if they're not using it properly, they're scared of moving to something else.
For Chris and ASB, the access to real-time data and information that Xero and Figured provide have been the biggest changes to how he manages his clients.
"I love information. My job is so much easier because it's all there, any time I log in [to Xero and Figured] at any time of the day. I don't have to pester Guy or Ben and demand information, because it's all there online," says Chris.
Which means no more A3 sheets of paper laid out on the coffee table.

What makes a suburb a cool place to work?
…which is a roundabout way of them saying that a cool place to work is determined more by lifestyle options than 'work'. Or maybe that they're hipsters (even though they hate that word).
Winner: Not surprisingly, the sun shines on Surry Hills.
Despite the cooler weather, Fitzroy hipsters get around on fixies, which makes sense because the wide streets and hardly any inclines (compared to Surry Hills) are perfect for cycling up and down to the nearest lunch spot or vintage store.
Winner: Fitzroy by a mile, because it doesn't have the mountainous ranges of Surry, making it ideal for walking or cycling. Plus it's well-served by trams for lazy days.
Coffee and food will always be important in any work day and in both neighbourhoods you're spoilt for choice.
Like Fitzroy, Surry Hills has been a hub of great coffee and food for as long as anyone can remember.
"Historically it is the best suburb in Sydney to find whatever hospitality you're looking for. If I had to choose one suburb to go for a night out it would be Surry Hills." says Yulli's owner Chris.
One debate that's ongoing is the coffee scene in both these cities. While Melbourne is known for its world class coffee, not everyone agrees with the hype. Surry Hills has more 'award-winning' coffee roasters per square kilometer than anywhere else.
"I think Sydney coffee is definitely better, the coffee is too weak in Melbourne," declares Josh, from Cali Press in Surry Hills, who supplies the suburb with fresh, healthy food and drink inspired by the clean living trend in California.
Winner: Surry Hills because there's more drip coffee to go around.
"You meet a lot of young professionals during the week – a real mixed bag of fashion, music and other creative types – and on the weekends the locals get to rule the street again. There might be a big terraced house with 4 or 5 uni students living in it.
Winner: Fitzroy because the rent is more affordable and therefore more young people can afford to be there.
After dark Fitzroy's and Surry Hills' vibrant mixes of restaurants, bars and pubs keep their local economies pumping. Sadly for Surry Hills, Sydney's lockout laws have almost killed the late night vibe.
Winner: Fitzroy because you can choose your own bedtime.
It was a close race, but I have to call it. While Surry Hills might have better weather and more hipster drip coffee, Fitzroy has youth on its side, cheaper rent, and a political climate that supports a city that never sleeps.

When it comes to making a big decision in life, doing your research and shopping around is usually how you would guarantee the best outcome, right? Well, yes… except for when you're shopping around for credit.
Now that Moula can lend up to $250,000, you might be thinking of taking out a loan to grow your business. This could be for a big stock order, to purchase equipment or hire a new staff member. There are dozens of loan providers out there, and it definitely makes sense to be armed with as much market research as possible, to compare rates, and find the right product to suit your business. And as with any other big financial decision, you'll want to understand the terms of the contract, be confident and comfortable that you understand the repayment terms and your ability to make the payments, and of course read any fine print.
When it comes to comparing credit providers, it's not always so simple. In Australia, credit enquiries – where you have approached a lender and asked them to consider you for credit – will almost always result in a "credit enquiry" on your business and/or personal credit history with one of the main credit bureaus (the most well-known being Veda and Dun & Bradstreet). Okay, so what's the problem?
whether you have been shopping around for credit (credit enquiries).
Typically, the more shopping around, the lower your score, and the less likely you are to obtain finance. For many small business owners who don't know how the game works, you end up shopping around some more, and lowering your score even more. Soon enough your business is locked out of the funding market altogether.
So, what should you do if you want to shop smart? First of all, look for transparent lenders who publish their interest rates online. Second, when applying for credit, ask the lender if a credit bureau enquiry will be conducted. If there's a low chance of getting finance, consider pulling your application before a credit check is run.
Shopper beware: So many good businesses conduct Credit Kamikaze on their credit bureau score, as they're not aware of the link between credit enquiries and credit score reduction. Don't be one of them!
As a Xero customer, Moula will extend a saving of between 2.5% and 5.0% off their standard APR. Visit Moula to learn more about how it works with Xero to help you grow your business – with no hidden fees and no hassle.
Before becoming co-founder and COO of Moula, Andrew spent over 16 years with a number of financial institutions in London, spanning risk management, credit modeling and structuring. Now that he's back home, Andrew is focused on solving the capital problem faced by small businesses in Australia. He has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne and is a Chartered Accountant of Australia.

Creative marketing and accounting, how can they possibly go together? But they do! As a small business owner myself, prior to my accounting training I had a perception that my advisor was only someone that I would see once-a year for my taxes.
But now, after accounting education and a lifetime of running practices, I realize that accounting is simply a product that requires marketing just like anything else and one that unfortunately gets put in the "too hard" basket. As accountants, we don't really get a lot of training and experience in that area.
Let's take one example of the services we provide and how we can implement some marketing principles to amplify the importance of that service or product.
Bookkeeping is a vital part of the accounting cycle and one that a lot of small business owners fail to realize needs to take place before they can get the important advice from their advisor about what is going on in the life of their business and also the unavoidable process of compliance and payment of taxes.
What a lot of business owners do is essentially put the cart before the horse – they get things around the wrong way. This then makes it costly for them as the accountant or bookkeeper is backtracking and putting transactions in the general ledger often in a rush to meet compliance deadlines. The small business is presented with a large bill for important time spent and then often doesn't see the value in investing further to get the advice that is required to allow them to make informed business decisions.
It becomes a vicious cycle, and not one that is facilitatory to a trusted advisor relationship. And let's face it, this is the type of relationship that is most valuable to a practice, it builds asset value for us as well as maintains a healthy cashflow cycle.
It seems like it would make much more sense to take some time to educate the clients on HOW to keep their financial information in a systemized and automated process during the year. Yet a lot of small business don't understand WHY they need to do this.
As accountants and bookkeepers providing the bookkeeping service, I believe that the road to success in educating this important function to business owners, should be very much part of our continued messaging, and form the foundation of our brand positioning statement. Connecting with your prospective clients up front with this message, sets the expectation for the types of clients you want to attract and maintain.
Brand positioning is all about you positioning your product into the market segment for clients who want high quality, competitively priced services. If a smaller firm tries to compete solely on price, it may not survive as bigger firms can use their size to drive down costs.
I would love to hear your brand positioning statement in the comments below!

Graduating from university and knowing where to head next is an uncomfortable reality many students are about to face. If a graduate role can't fuel your passion perhaps taking the entrepreneurship route and starting a small business might. Here are some important things to remember for starting a small business as a grad.
Nowadays there are only roughly five things you will need to start a small business, they are a computer, a reliable internet connection, a bit of start-up cash, some brain power, and a hell of a lot of drive.
Although starting a business will be a struggle to begin with there's one important thing to remember you have on your side. That's the time and energy you need to fully devote yourself to your business, without the distraction of a spouse, kids or an existing job. Long work days and lack of sleep won't have as much as an affect on you, because you are already used to staying up late to cram for an exam, but still manage to make it to your 8am lecture the next morning. In addition to this your personal expenses are minimum, besides food, rent and the odd bill, as you aren't supporting a family, or paying off a mortgage. This means that revenue can stay inside the business, helping it to grow faster.
You must ask yourself if the benefits of working for yourself outweigh the burden. It's important to remember that when starting out you are everything, from the sales team, to the marketing department, as well as billing and collections, to the receptionist. Essentially you are every aspect of the business, until it has grown enough that you can start hiring.
You also mustn't forget that starting a business doesn't lead you to instant success. It will take time before the business starts earning revenue and you can afford to send yourself home with a paycheque. All this being said, starting a business gives you a real experience that only others who have been down the same path can understand. Nothing makes you value a customer more than the struggle to acquire one in the first place.
If it seems like the right route for you, then we say go for it! With Kiwis leading the way in terms of innovative ideas and thinking, and small businesses making up 69% of the economy there is literally no time like the present to take that leap!

Farming in Ireland Overview
In the days before mechanisation, horses were an essential part of farming in Ireland. For example, in 1939, it was estimated that over 350,000 horses worked on Irish farms.
Today, horses are kept for breeding or for pleasure, or usually a combination of both. There are three main sectors to the horse industry on Ireland's farms – racing, breeding and equestrian sports.
Despite its small size, Ireland holds a pre-eminent position in thoroughbred racing and breeding and in the equestrian world.
The Irish bloodstock breeding and racing industry is of major national importance in terms of employment (especially in rural areas) as well as in exports and tourism. The industry is worth hundreds of millions of euro of economic activity, sustaining jobs and a national network of racecourses, trainers, breeders and farms with an enviable skills base.
Irish horses are in demand worldwide, with exports to 40 countries. A long tradition of skilled horsemanship is a key reason, as is the fact that our limestone soils provide ideal grazing for healthy equine bone growth. Tax incentives for stallion farms introduced in 1969 helped encourage major investment in stud operations.
Some key attributes of the sector include:
Total population of around 96,000 horses in the border region of Ireland (Statista, 2019).
Ireland recorded a population of t 34,821 thoroughbreds in 2016 (DAFM, 2017).
Ireland is the third largest breeder of thoroughbreds in the world and the largest breeder of thoroughbreds in the EU.
9,381 thoroughbred foals were registered in 2016.
Approximately 28,900 people are employed in the thoroughbred industry in Ireland (DAFM, 2017)..
The value of Irish thoroughbred exports was an estimated €370m in 2016.
Irish owned and headquarted Coolmore (www.coolmore.com) has stud operations in Fethard, Co Tipperary, Kentucky USA and Australia. Their racing operation, Ballydoyle, in the hands of Aidan O' Brien, is also a global leader in flat racing. Irish trainers such as Dermot Weld, John Oxx and Dermot Weld have also trained horses in Ireland to win at the highest level overseas.
Irish National Stud
The State owned Irish National Stud (www.irishnationalstud.ie) based at Tully in Co Kildare is a major tourist attraction, with some of the most magnificent horses and sumptuous gardens to be found anywhere in the world. It is a working stud, with elite stallions available to breeders at commercial rates. The farm, purchased by Colonel William Hall Walker at the turn of the 20th century, helps Ireland retain its global leadership position in thoroughbred horse breeding. Each year, over 115,000 visit the farm and its exhibits. In May 2011, Queen Elizabeth II, a noted horse breeder, visited the farm during her historic State visit.
Copyright Irish Farmers Journal
Horse Racing Ireland
Horse Racing Ireland (www.goracing.ie) are responsible for the Thoroughbred sector. Their mission statement is "to develop and promote Ireland as a centre of excellence for horse racing and breeding".
Breeding horses and ponies for a range of equestrian sports is also an important part of farming in Ireland. Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) (www.horsesportireland.ie) is the governing body for equestrian sports in Ireland.
HSI operates the Irish Horse Register, which encompasses the Irish Sport Horse Studbook and the Irish Draught Horse Studbook. There are also other studbooks operating in the non-thoroughbred sector, including the famous Connemara Pony Society (www.cpbs.ie/), the Kerry Bog Pony Co-op Society (www.kerrybogpony.ie), the Irish Cob Society (www.irishcobsociety.com), the Irish Piebald & Skewbald Association, Miniature Horse and Pony Society of Ireland and the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland.
The Dublin Horse Show (www.dublinhorseshow.com) is held in the Royal Dublin Society each August and provides a major shop window of the best of Ireland's equestrian talent.

President Saddam Hussein has offered $1.5 million to any Iraqi who can solve a 3,000-year-old puzzle--how King Nebuchadnezzar managed to water the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Archeologists are divided over whether the gardens--said to have graced terraces hundreds of feet above the palm-fringed Euphrates River--existed.
The gardens reputedly were built by Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th Century BC to enchant his homesick queen, the Median princess Amytis. Although the ancient Greeks considered the gardens one of the seven wonders of the world, Nebuchadnezzar made no mention of them in his detailed writings, and no conclusive evidence they existed has been uncovered.
But the Iraqi government, which is rebuilding the city where Nebuchadnezzar ruled ancient Mesopotamia from 605 BC to 562 BC, believes they did exist, based on findings by German archeologists who first excavated Babylon more than 75 years ago.
Hussein announced a prize of $1.5 million for whoever comes up with the most plausible watering system and $750,000 to the runner-up. The winning system likely will be used if the Iraqis decide to go ahead and reconstruct the hanging gardens.

The Internet has become a great source of information, research, education and entertainment in our life. Children age preschool are already learning to use the computer and surf the net. As parents we should be protecting our children in all environments.
Although you do not want to scare children when we talk about the dangers of Internet predators, you need to teach them to protect themselves in any environment in real life or on the network. The reality is that the Internet is completely Anonymous. Children are naive by nature and they can easily fall prey to a predator in online posing as a child.
Protect your child from online predators is an issue that should not be taken lightly. About one in three children said that has received a message online or photo that makes you uncomfortable. Very few tell their parents.
Technology is constantly changing and any part of the Internet that allows people to exchange messages can be used by someone who is trying to exploit your child. Talk openly with your child about dangers of the Internet and spend time together with them in line. Remind them never give information or post pictures of themselves online. What's more can you do to protect your child online predators?
• Be educated computer and be aware of Internet. Find out which places you like to look at your child and review them often for inappropriate content. Make sure you have your child's password E-mail and any communities line. Discourage or limit the use of webcams or mobile video devices.
• Ask your Internet service provider for the authority that allow parents to block access to adult sites, chat rooms and bulletin boards. A variety of programs allow you to restrict who send an email to your child and what types of visited sites.
• Establish guidelines and discuss with your child to Internet security search. Give participation in the discussion. Have your child sign a agreement "safe navigation" that you have reminds them of the rules of being on the Internet. Encourage them to use sites to find more children or configure your browser to remove inappropriate Content.
• Keep the computer in an area of high use of your home and outside your child's room. Control other Internet access points, mobile phone including the iPhone, portable devices and PDAs. This will help you be aware of the Internet habits of your child.
• Teach your child safe behavior in Internet (what types of information are safe for share, recognize inappropriate behavior, etc.) Remind them to think before put or share information online. Nothing really private on the internet for private information can be easily disseminated.
• Let your children know they can come to you if they receive messages that make them feel uncomfortable. Help them understand that not everything they read online is true and that people in the Internet could be different from what they seem to be.
• Contact the police if someone online ask your child in any way. Remember that the Internet is like being in a public place. You should be aware of the safety of your children and protect them from dangerous situations.

Nil Mortalibus Ardui Est – Nothing is Impossible for Mankind
Rathkeale College is an Anglican school providing a unity of Day and Boarding components through programmes of worship and religious studies, upholding a strong moral code and providing a well-rounded education that promotes excellence through academic, cultural and sporting pursuits in which all students and staff are expected to participate fully.
Rathkeale College has a long tradition of hosting International Students. The College prides itself on how it integrates these young men into the New Zealand way of life and its education system. This is a small school where class sizes are kept small so that individual students are well-known and cared for by the teachers, boarding house masters and matrons. Overall care is provided by the Director of International Students who keeps in close contact with parents and assists with insurance, flights and other day to day issues.
"We have a proud history of representation at the Model United Nations, and look for opportunities where our gifted students can shine on a larger stage"
Rathkeale College's greatest facility is the 66 hectares of grounds on which it is located. So impressive is the forest and playing fields that rather than take our students to paintball they come to us! On-site there is a swimming pool, gymnasium and weights room, state of the art music and art suites, a squash court, library and computer suites. The 750 seat auditorium is one of the best in the region and in the past has attracted some very big names to Rathkeale including the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
Sport and cultural activities play a major part in Rathkeale's curriculum. All students participate in singing and have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Sport is compulsory and the boys must participate in both a winter and summer activity. In addition to weekend sport activities which usually take the form of competition games, the full boarders also have the opportunity to participate in weekend activities. Recently these have included rafting, caving, camping, karts and paintball.
International students stay with host families for except weekends when they are required to leave the Boarding House twice each term. During the holidays they can go to English language schools with other International Students or even go and Discover New Zealand that are organised by companies in New Zealand (Active Planet Travel) specifically for students from overseas.

INTERPOL and TNO Partnership to Combat Cybercrime
19 April 2017 – On 19 April, INTERPOL and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) have signed an agreement to further enhance and extend their collaboration in combating cybercrime. Combining INTERPOL's reach throughout the global law enforcement community with TNO's research and technology provides opportunities to identify practical solutions to increase cyber security.
Tackling cybercrime cannot be resolved unilaterally. As cybercriminals innovate, they do so with speed and by communicating and sharing information with each other. Public and private sectors also need to be innovative in building trusted relationships to identify ways to become more effective in combating the global threat posed by cybercrime.
Staying ahead in the fight against cybercrime
In 2015 INTERPOL's Cyber Research Lab and TNO created a private darknet network, private cryptocurrency and simulated marketplace to recreate the virtual underground environment used by criminals. This training environment on darknet and cryptocurrencies will now be delivered globally, providing law enforcement worldwide with a deeper understanding of the evolving criminal activities on the darknet. The partnership between INTERPOL and TNO will also be extended to include additional research and innovation to move ahead in the fight against cybercrime, in addition to the secondment of a TNO expert to the IGCI.
Innovation in policing
"Innovation in policing is key and the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation provides a platform for achieving this with our member countries and partners. This new agreement with TNO is important in our continued work to ensure law enforcement have the training and resources they need to take effective action in combating cybercrime," said Noboru Nakatani, Executive Director of the IGCI.
First scientific research institute
Mr Wim Nagtegaal, vice-admiral (ret), member of the TNO Executive Board, Chief Operating Officer: "With TNO's approach to concept development and experimentation we contribute to the fight against cybercrime and cyberterrorism with training and tools. TNO is honored to be the first research institute to partner with INTERPOL. We are proud to see how the research contributions of Prof Pieter Hartel are currently translated to worldwide delivery. This is important from both a security perspective and also emphasizes the Netherlands' innovation potential."
His Excellency Jacques Werner, ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Singapore who witnessed the agreement signing ceremony said: "In our hyper-connected world, cyber security is a joint responsibility that cannot be solved by any organisation in isolation. The partnership between INTERPOL and TNO is one of the many key ingredients towards cyber security."

International Numerical Modeling Contest of Rock Mechanicsand Engineering(INCR)—2021
With the developmentof computer technology, numerical modelling has become the third pillar of scientific research besides physical experiment and theoretical analysis. In the scientific literature on rock mechanics, papers involving numerical simulation account for more than 25% (data from ScopusTM). Moreover,numerical modelling seems to be the only economically and technically feasible research tool to tackle these new era problems, e.g. deep earth mining and deepspace mining. There are many numerical methods for rock mechanics problems, for example, the discrete element model (DEM), discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA),Meshless Methods (MMs), etc. However, for rock mechanics problems, numerical modelling still has following shortcomings: challenges in the selection of reliable parameters,uncontrollable human operation influences, unclear physical mechanism, lack ofextensive and solid verifications, etc. These shortcomings has hindered the further application of numerical modelling on rock mechanics and rockengineering to a certain extent.
International Numerical Modeling Contest of Rock Mechanics and Engineering(INCR) is proposed and organized by the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Committee of International Society of Rock Mechanics and Engineering and the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Committee of China Society of Rock Mechanics and Engineering. Its purpose is to encourage research students to conduct open, transparent and extensive verification of existing numerical methods and software on rock mechanics problems. INCR aims to providea platform for sharing experimental and numerical restuls on rock mechanics problems and promote the application of numerical simulation in rock mechanics and engineering. The 1st INCR will be organized and sponsored byTianjin University, China University of Geosciences,Nanjing University and Hebei University of Technology.

How Facebook Uses Screen Printing
Facebook is about as far as it gets from screen printing, unless you count press operators and screenmakers checking their updates every five minutes in the middle of a job. Digital vs. screen printing is one thing, but Facebook—that's a whole other media dimension from print.
Last year, an ad appeared from Facebook headquarters. It showed a person washing out a screen in a print studio. This piqued my interest, and through some friends, I was able to get in contact with Ben Barry, a designer at Facebook, who built and heads up their Analog Research Lab, buried deep in the bowels of the company that has literally changed our world and the way we communicate.
The Facebook Analog Research Laboratory is a screen-printing studio and workshop at Facebook. The primary goal and use of the space is to create and develop projects for internal culture at the company. The main collaborators in the lab (Ben, Everett Katigbak, and Tim Belonax) all studied design and are employed as designers. They also just happen to be printers who have a love for making things. The lab started organically as a way for them to put this creative energy back into the company they're so passionate about. I asked Ben to explain how the screen-printing and Internet-based social media, two completely different worlds, somehow come together.
"I think it's a mistake to see them as two separate worlds," Ben says. "Especially two at odds with one another. Both are about communicating information and connecting people to ideas and each other. These are basic human needs regardless of medium. To me, both Internet and print have a role to play in the future. It's important to recognize when it's appropriate to use each media. The Internet is obviously superior at information distribution, especially when it's temporal in nature. Because it's less efficient and more labor intensive, printing should be thought of less as a mechanism for information distribution, and more as a way to elevate certain ideas or content in their importance. Producing high-quality printed material in a day and age when it isn't the most efficient way to communicate is a signal of how much someone cares about an idea."
The posters and printed pieces Ben and his crew create (Figures 1 and 2) for internal use are very popular with co-workers and management, and used not just at the main headquarters, but in satellite offices around the world, and at conferences and events. He can't make them fast enough to keep up with demand, and his job as a designer has transitioned to the point he is spending more time in the lab pumping out prints than designing. They are building a larger and better-equipped lab space in their new campus in Menlo Park, and he sees the demand increasing, not slowing down. One measure of their desirability is the recent appearance of knockoffs of internal Facebook posters on Twitter.
I was curious where he first learned about screen printing. "My first exposure to screen printing was through a class in college. I took it through the textiles department. Its focus was on using screen printing to produce fabric-based artworks and did not teach me how to produce multiple-edition prints on paper. I did attempt it, however, and my final two projects for the class were posters (three and eight colors, respectively). I printed editions of about 15 of each without hinge clamps. In retrospect, it was insane. I really learned to screen print posters properly during my internship at The Decoder Ring in Austin, TX. Working closely with my screen-printing mentor, Paul Fucik, I learned to print things the right way."
Their setup at the Lab is nothing fancy. Ben designed and built an exposure unit and washout booth. The screen press is a simple manual one. They also have a letterpress, guillotine paper cutter, and laser cutter. I wondered why a company that is on the cutting edge of technology, with money to burn, wouldn't have a couple of digital printers.
"We did just get a RISOgraph digital duplicator," he replied. "It's incredibly fast (130 prints/min), and the way it works and its output quality is very close to screen printing. You still print one color at a time and layer inks just like you do in screen printing. The limitations are the size (11 x 17 in.), and the colors are limited and expensive. So for me, screen printing is at the sweet spot of being incredibly efficient, affordable, high quality, and creatively flexible. Quality is very important to me, and with the exception of the RISO I haven't found a digital printer that comes close. The letterpress we have is arguably much higher quality than screen printing, though, but it's very slow, and the inks are nasty to work with. I haven't found anything other than screen printing that allows me to have an idea, and within a few hours, design, print, and distribute hundreds of large, high-quality posters. Until I do, I'll be a screen printer."
Ben's perspective on screen printing's role in the future of modern media is instructive. He saw it contracting in quantity, but expanding in quality. "I don't believe print will go away, but what does get committed to physical form in the future will be increasingly done in only the best ways, for the most important content," he says.

New York City Zoning Resolution Section 12-10: A Third Phase in the Evolution of Airspace Law
Terence Kennedy
airspace, New York City Zoning Resolution section 12-10, property
Originally, airspace was considered to be a form of land inseparable from the soil owned by the surface landowner. Over time, however, the law has allowed airspace to be severed from the soil, enabling the surface landowner to alienate the airspace while retaining title to the soil. New York City Zoning Resolution section 12-10 has advanced this modern notion by limiting buildable floorspace and permitting transfer of airspace. This Note details the history and uses of airspace, and proposes that the amended section of 12-10 both modernizes our stationary concept of real property and establishes airspace property interests as being necessarily linked to the equivalent property interest in the land below.

A man is in critical condition after he is shot by a Tulsa Police officer late Sunday night. The incident happened as officers were wrapping up a burglary investigation in the 4800 block of North Iroquois. It is unknown how or if the man was related to the incident.
Tulsa Police officers say the man drove up to the house and they believe he was under the influence and that is why he was acting strange. Police say as they were talking to the man in his car, the man put the car in reverse. A Tulsa Police officer tried to put the car back in park, when the man reached down for something. Police say that is when an officer fired three rounds, hitting the suspect twice in the upper torso.
Police say the man was taken to a Tulsa hospital for surgery, but he is expected to survive.
Tulsa Police officers say they searched the man's vehicle and found a bottle of what they believe was PCP and possibly a large knife. Police have not yet released the name of the suspect.
The Tulsa Police officer who shot the man has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

The Satrae () were, in ancient geography, a Thracian people, inhabiting part of Mount Pangaeus between the rivers Nestus (Mesta) and Strymon (Struma).

According to Herodotus, they were independent in his time, and had never been conquered within the memory of man. They dwelt on lofty mountains covered with forests and snow, and on the highest of these was an oracle of Dionysus, whose utterances were delivered by a priestess.

They were the chief workers of the gold and silver mines in the district. Herodotus is the only ancient writer who mentions the Satrae, and Tomaschek regards the name not as that of a people but of the warlike nobility among the Thracian Dii and Bessi.

J. E. Harrison identifies them with the Satyri (Satyrs), the attendants and companions of Dionysus in his revels, and also with the Centaurs. The name Satrokentae, a Thracian tribe according to Hecataeus (quoted in Stephanus of Byzantium), seems to support the second identification.

The Greek Histories of Herodotus named the Satrae as a part of the Thrace tribes which lived in the Nestus and Strymin Valley (Book, VIO, 110),  "have continued living in freedom" till his time, and "dwell on high mountains covered with forests of all kinds and snow, and they are excellent warriors".
Here, they "possess the place of divination sacred to Dionysus is in their highest mountains", questioning an oracle like the one of one of Delphi.

A Palestinian Jesus for Palestinian Victimhood
By: Tricia Miller, PhD February 17, 2015
"We celebrate the birth of Jesus, a Palestinian messenger of love, justice and peace."
These are the words of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, spoken in recognition of Christmas 2014, and reported in a Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) bulletin titled "PA: Jesus was a Palestinian" published on 12/28/14.
The claim that Jesus was a Palestinian is certainly startling news to traditional Christians who read the Scriptural account of Jesus' birth every Christmas, but for Palestinians, this biblical revisionism is nothing new. Every year at Christmas time, Fatah and Palestinian Authority (PA) officials identify with Jesus as a Palestinian.
For example, Abbas's adviser on religious and Islamic affairs and PA Supreme Sharia Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash states: "Christmas is also a Palestinian holiday, because Jesus, peace be upon him, was Palestinian. He was born in Palestine; lived and was sent (as prophet) to Palestine. Therefore, Christmas has a special Palestinian flavor."
This outrageous assertion is made in spite of the fact that the biblical text identifies Jesus as the son of a Jewish mother and as a Jewish resident of Judea, who together with his parents celebrated Jewish festivals annually in Jerusalem.
This preposterous declaration is also made in spite of the reality that the geographical designation of "Palestine" did not exist during the lifetime of Jesus. It was years after Jesus' death before the name of Judea was changed to "Palestina" by the occupying Roman Empire in its efforts to wipe out the history of the Jews in Judea.
But such certainties are blatantly disregarded for the sake of constructing a Palestinian narrative designed to delegitimize and demonize Israel. According to this story, Jesus was the first Palestinian martyr and the first Palestinian refugee. In other words, just as first century Jews persecuted Jesus, the Jewish State now persecutes Palestinians, the purported descendants of Jesus.
The exploitation of Christianity by the PA in its religious/political campaign against Israel reached new depths when Pope Francis visited Bethlehem in May 2014. As documented by PMW, the pope was treated to an art exhibit prepared especially for his arrival that modified classical Christian art in order to present Jesus as a suffering Palestinian martyr.
It is one thing for Muslim leaders to perpetrate this religious falsehood for their anti-Israel political purposes. However, it is quite another thing for Christian leaders to do the same. And yet, prominent figures such as Mitri Raheb, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, do just that.
In spite of the fact that the Bible he claims as authoritative contains the same Hebrew Scriptures Jesus knew and taught, Raheb teaches a form of replacement theology that eliminates the biblical history of Israel and Jews in the Land, and identifies Jesus as Palestinian.
Speaking at the Christ at the Checkpoint conference in Bethlehem in 2010, Raheb said:
Israel represents Rome of the Bible, not the people of the land. And this is not only because I'm a Palestinian. I'm sure if we were to do a DNA test between David, who was a Bethlehemite, and Jesus, born in Bethlehem, and Mitri, born just across the street from where Jesus was born, I'm sure the DNA will show that there is a trace. While, if you put King David, Jesus and Netanyahu, you will get nothing, because Netanyahu comes from an East European tribe who converted to Judaism in the Middle Ages.
This statement places Raheb and those who agree with him in the same camp as Palestinian Authority officials concerning the legitimacy of the Jewish State.
Abbas' advisor, Al-Habbash, proclaimed in his televised weekly sermon on 12/12/14 that "All of this land will return to us, all our occupied land, all our rights in Palestine…adding, "In terms of resistance, all options are on the table…"
As Sharia Judge, Al-Habbash teaches that Islam prohibits accepting Israel's existence because the "entire land of Palestine" is an inalienable religious endowment according to Islamic law.
As a judge of Sharia law, he forbids making peace with Israel.
These are the beliefs and positions concerning Israel that Christian Palestinian leaders identify with when they align themselves with Muslims through mutual delegitimization and demonization of Israel.
Many Muslims refuse to accept the existence of Israel based on Sharia law. Some Christians refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Jewish State based on unbiblical replacement theology.
And Muslims and Christians alike perpetuate their anti-Israel narrative of Palestinian victimhood through the denial of the Jewish Jesus and the creation of a Palestinian Jesus.
Western Christians need to be aware that when they hear appeals for support for suffering Palestinian Christians, the leaders promoting these appeals have rewritten the biblical text for religiously inspired political purposes.
Rather than ignore the fallacious narrative behind the appeals, Western Christians should hold their brethren in the Holy Land accountable to the biblical text as it is written.

Consider a situation where we want to know about the number of rows in the particular database table without touching our database.
Consider a situation where we want to know about the number of rows in the particular database table without touching our database. As we are the programmers so why we should worry about the database complexities. We want to find out the number of rows without going touching our back- end.
In this example we are going to exactly the same as we said above. To make this possible we need to make a class named ServletGettingNoOfRows, the name of the program should be such, if in future there is any need to make any change in the program, you can easily understand in which program you have to make a change. As we know that in Servlet the main logic of the program is written inside the service method and in turn the service method calls the doGet() method. Now inside the doGet() method use the getWriter() method of the response object and its returns the PrintWriter object, which helps us to write on the browser. To get the number of rows from the database table there is a need for the connection between the database and the java program. After the establishment of the connection with the database, fire a query for selecting the number of rows from the database table inside the executeQuery() method of the PreparedStatement object and returns the ResultSet object. Now we have the ResultSet object, by the help of this object we can get the number of rows we have in the database table. The number of rows we have in the database table will be displayed on the browser by the PrintWriter object.

Q: Python: How can I replace multiple occurrences of a string with values in tuple I have a string such as:
"Hello %s, how are %s, %s"
I need to replace all occurrences of %s with the elements of the tuple ("world", "you", 1) in order for the output to be:
Hello world, how are you, 1

A: You can use the .format() method:
print("Hello {0}, how are {1}, {2}".format(*("world", "you", 1)))

The star * allows you to unpack the tuple so the .format() function can elaborate them.
Look here for more examples.
In case you don't want to use the .format(), take a look at this:
print("Hello %s, how are %s, %s" % (("world", "you", 1)))

Both method will output:
Hello world, how are you, 1

A: You could do something like this:
def tupleFormat(string, format):
    return string % format

and then you could do yout example like:
tupleFormat("Hello %s, how are %s, %s", ("world", "you", 1))

You can use the % operator on strings and tuples, exactly how you want it.

A: If your aim is to replace string occurrences, you could try the following:
string = 'Hello %s, how are %s, %s'
tupl = ('world', 'you', '1')

for t in tupl:
  string = string.replace('%s', t, 1)

print(string)

Output:
Hello world, how are you, 1

A: There is a simple answer:
print("Hello %s, how are %s, %s" % ("world", "you", 1))

Output:
Hello world, how are you, 1

Their shots were falling, their defense was solid and their intensity was high. Indeed, everything was clicking for the Greenwich Academy basketball team during the first half of its game against host Rye Country Day School on Tuesday.
And that meant trouble for the Wildcats.
Behind a 40-point first half, Greenwich Academy continued its resurgence, registering a convincing 60-45 win over Rye Country Day School in an FAA matchup. With their fifth victory in their last six games, the Gators improved to 5-8.
Junior forward Kaitlyn Davis led a balanced scoring effort with 18 points, 11 of which came in the first half, for GA. Sophomore guard Francesca Sileo and junior forward Olivia Davis scored 16 points apiece for Greenwich Academy, which held a 40-19 halftime lead.
Sileo scored 10 of her 16 points during the first half, including three 3-pointers. Senior forward Casey Gottlieb added eight points for Greenwich Academy, which has found its form after starting the season 0-7, as it battled its way through key injuries.
A layup and a jump hook by Kaitlyn Davis, consecutive baskets from Olivia Davis and a 3-pointer by Sileo put the Gators on top, 24-10, with 6:00 remaining in the first half. Kaitlyn Davis' left-handed layup, Sileo's 3-pointer from the top of the key and Gottlieb's basket in the post, made it 30-11.
Consecutive layups from Sileo and a pair of free throws by Gottlieb gave GA its biggest lead at 52-27 with 10:22 to go in the second half. The visitors played an effective man-to-man defense throughout.
"I definitely think we are playing better, we still have to work on our energy in the second half, but it's going really well," Olivia Davis said.
The Wildcats made a mini run to cut the Gators' lead to 56-39 with five minutes left to play. But baskets from Olivia and Kaitlyn Davis sealed Greenwich Academy's win.
"It was a good effort by the girls," Matthews said. "We're a balanced team, we're not an individual team, and today we had good balance offensively. Now we have to get ready for Masters.
GA hosts Masters Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in an key FAA game.

Why come to Romania?
Ever since 1968 RMS was involved in broadcasting – first on short-wave radio through HCJB, of Quito, Ecuador, then on BBC and Radio "Free Europe". With the fall of Communism and the opening of airwaves to Christian radio, RMS joined hands in 1992 with HCJB of Quito, Ecuador, and the Romanian National Alliance of Evangelicals to launch the first Christian radio network in Romania, "Voice of the Gospel". Today there are eight FM stations in the network: Bucuresti, Brasov, Cluj-Napoca, Constanta, Oradea, Sibiu, Suceava and Timisoara.
The management of the radio network is entrusted to a Board led by the National Alliance of Evangelicals, but we continue to support production of new programs, as well as funding for equipment and facilities upgrades for local stations.
In the spring of 2007 a bold step forward was taken when the uplink to satellite was completed, making the programs available throughout Europe, via direct satellite-to-listener link.
Christian radio is a lifeline to those who have never heard the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Millions of people in Romania never enter the door of a church. Radio reaches them wherever they are. And because of the critical shortage of Christian leadership, it is only through radio that we can minister to some evangelical churches without pastors. Consider the following excerpts from listeners' letters…
"I thank God for your messages that have awakened me from slumbering in sin. I have chosen Jesus to be my Lord."
"I listen to your programs daily, and am thrilled and encouraged each and every time I tune in."
"Our church does not have a pastor, so we put a radio on the pulpit each Sunday morning to hear a message from God's Word."
"I do not go to church, but I am so glad to hear God's Word daily over radio. I wept when I saw my children praying and listening to your programs."
"My husband was converted through a sermon on your Sibiu station! Thank you!"
"I stumbled across your broadcast by accident. While listening, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit. Since then, I have started attending church."
"After hearing a child's voice praying for his brother on a program for children, I abandoned my plans for an abortion."
"While listening to some special programs for youth, I understood that there is only one way to be saved. I made a decision that day to follow Jesus Christ."
If you would like to get involved to sponsor a program or a radio station, please contact our office (e-mail to RMS@RMSonline.org or call at 630-665-6503).

Moss-covered mountain peaks and sprawling tea plantations tucked into the reaches of lush highlands; an ancient rock fortress and intricate colonial architecture — these are just a few of the majestic sights that welcome you in the magical country of Sri Lanka. As a seasoned traveler and Trip Designer for Butterfield & Robinson, Dane Tredway gets to experience under-the-radar destinations such as this from a true insider's perspective. Here, he shares personal insight that will inspire you to add Sri Lanka to your bucket list — and then we'll coordinate your active hiking and biking adventure through this dynamic nation.
Q: As an active traveler, what is the appeal of a country like Sri Lanka?
Dane Tredway: Sri Lanka is approachable in size and it's easy for travelers to experience everything from ancient ruins to rainforest and tea estates in a relatively short amount of time by bike or on foot. It's also a very warm and welcoming place with fantastic opportunities to connect with locals both on the roads and on the trails.
Q: What do you recommend to visitors when shopping for souvenirs?
Dane Tredway: There are a few shops in the southern city of Galle that are great: Barefoot for locally made textiles, clothing and housewares; Stick No Bills, a shop that repurposes prints and photography from yesteryear into unique postcards and posters; and also several great antique shops with hidden gems from the colonial times. After shopping a walk to the lighthouse is a relaxing and scenic reward.
Q: Do you have a particular favorite region in Sri Lanka for active adventures?
Dane Tredway: I am especially fond of biking and hiking among the tea estates in Hill Country. There, you get an amazing cross-section of culture, natural beauty and colonial history. Along with challenging outdoor adventures, Tea Trails is a collection of converted tea planters' bungalows that makes for a great home base for relaxing by the pool, playing a round of croquet or simply sitting back and enjoying the epic views.
Q: Do you have any favorite dining spots?
Dane Tredway: Sri Lankan cuisine is mostly rice-and-curry based and some of my most memorable meals are those in beautiful, unexpected locations that have become part of the Butterfield & Robinson experience: a mud house in the Cultural Triangle; a jungle garden at the home of famed batik artist Ena da Silva; among the rice paddies outside of Galle; and a picnic in the tea plantations of Hill Country. Hoppers, Sri Lanka's version of pancakes, are a great substitute for the usual bacon and eggs for breakfast. For a romantic meal, The Gallery Café, in Geoffrey Bawa's former studio in Colombo, can't be beat.
Q: What is one of your more memorable moments when you were researching travel in Sri Lanka?
Dane Tredway: I had just completed the hike to Sri Pada (Adam's Peak). This is an important pilgrimage in Sri Lanka as it is a sacred place for Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Muslims alike. Despite the fact that it can be quite challenging, it is a feat tackled by the young and old alike. The hike is usually done in the early hours of the morning and most plan to arrive at the peak for sunrise. The experience of being there among so many pilgrims as the sun breached the horizon, a procession of drummers passed through the crowd, as the unbelievable views of the surroundings came into plain sight it was intoxicating. That communal sense of joy and appreciation was something that will stay with me forever.
Want to learn more about Sri Lanka's unique culture and landscapes? Ask us how you can receive our Ultimate Experiences magazine to learn about Butterfield & Robinson's active adventures in this enriching land.
We'll arrange every detail of your active adventure with Butterfield & Robinson, which includes guided hiking and biking excursions designed for every fitness level, seamless luggage transport and carefully curated stays in upscale hotels.

Hüsker Dü was both a brutal punk band and a group devoted to pop music and rock history. This EP compiles two key singles in its catalog. The cover of "Eight Miles High" takes the song's gentle psychedelia and throws it into the post-punk meat grinder, achieving a sense of alienation that was being felt among young musicians as true rock 'n' roll was being shuttled off to the underground. The live version of Zen Arcade's "Masochism World" is muddy and violent, a bootleg-quality recording that reflects the era's lo-fi constraints. "Makes No Sense at All" was the single pulled from 1985's Flip Your Wig, while a cover of Sonny Curtis' "Love Is All Around"—the Mary Tyler Moore theme—is a nod to the group's Minneapolis roots and its abilities to rock out a transcendent tune.
