We've been creating exceptional websites since the early dot com era. Here's our story.
What started as a mutually beneficial business relationship between our co-founders Evan Bayly and Aaron Main, quickly turned into the partnership that holds Expert together to this day. Expert was originally established back in 1998 when Google was still based out of Susan Wojcicki's garage, and a dollar could still get you a litre of petrol.
Twenty years on and hundreds of websites later, we're proud to say Expert is one of New Zealand's longest running, most reliable web development and design companies around.
Check out our timeline below to see the highlights of our time creating exceptional work.
It all began with our two owners, Evan Bayly and Aaron Main. Aaron was working in an IT department of a large organization while also running his own web development business on the side. Evan was busy sharing his marketing knowledge as a Business Advisor and Consultant. When Aaron began to build websites for Evan's clients the two quickly realised how their talents complimented one another.
As the "World Wide Web" gathered momentum, our resourceful pair became acutely aware that the IT market space yearned for a quality content management system that could offer support to those less acquainted with the technological jargon and skills that inherently came along with website building. They also recognised that website owners wanted to be empowered to make changes to their own website content without having to pay a development company a fee to ensure this happened. And so, MoST (Management of Site Tool) user friendly CMS (Content Management System) was born.
MoST was quickly becoming the 'go-to' option for intuitive, flexible and cost-effective content management, Aaron and Evan had devised a practical and affordable solution to satisfy the mounting requests for web development.
Expert Developments Ltd was incorporated as an official company on the 1st of April 2000.
Aaron continued to make improvements to MoST until Version II was ready for release. This enhanced version was the product that really separated MoST from other CMS products. Users could now manage their entire enterprise with its in-depth membership, e-zine and event management tools.
Expert's Wellington office opened on Tennyson Street, in the heart of the creative quarter, as our client base and team of experts continued to flourish and grow.
Business as usual would see MoST Version III's launch in 2005 and this was made fully e-commerce capable by 2006.
Expert broadened development services into the global financial in with the creation of NZdata Service, which is still used for financial market data collection and dissemination today. This application was the start of our continued presence as a reputable application developer in the financial market locally and overseas.
Expert's first official re-brand commenced along with a website re-design.
Following the devastating Christchurch earthquakes, Expert established an enhanced and enlarged disaster recovery protocol system.
Expert began advocating the increased benefits of using social media, apps and mobile-friendly websites for businesses, and also introduced a sophisticated cloud-based system to meet the needs of a major client's accounting requirements.
Over the following years, often through word of mouth, more large membership organisations approached Expert for help with creating and managing their websites and complex membership databases. Thanks to a balanced combination of continued technical support and having a user-friendly infrastructure platform (MoST), Expert could meet their requirements.
After 14 years in business, Expert has helped build the online capabilities of thousands of organisations, from small one-person businesses to local body councils and government departments. MoST's ongoing development meant that Expert was able to cater for a range of clients with the most basic of CMS requirements, to a full-blown ecommerce website with online payments, membership and event management.
Aaron and Evan, along with Expert's team of specialists, continue to discover just how well their varying and diverse skills complement each other when it comes to developing, designing, marketing, supporting … and well, almost anything else that's necessary to create and manage exceptional websites.


Sure, every business loves ringing the gong, blowing the whistle or completing whatever celebratory action the company has designated to announce sales wins. But truly successful businesses make just as much "fuss" about lost deals as they do about those that are won.
Taking the time to dig in and understand why a deal was lost or unqualified is often far more valuable than understanding why a deal was won. Not only can it highlight missed opportunities and areas for improvement, but it can also help your team understand which leads to prioritize and where to focus its efforts.
To uncover this information, companies can perform an "autopsy" on each of their lost deals, dissecting it by sales dimensions.
Dimensions are all of the factors or variables that, together, make up a sale. Examples of sales dimensions include sales team, rep experience, stage duration, company vertical, contact title, lead source, deal size, price, sales process and much, much more.
Altering just one of these dimensions across deals can have varying results – positive or negative. The key is to pinpoint the dimensions that have the greatest impact on your sales pipeline and performance to identify what adjustments should be made to achieve your desired outcome.
Of course, these will vary by company, so for now, let's examine a few different key sales dimensions and what they can potentially tell you about your lost and unqualified deals.
Do you keep track of where each of your deals originates? Was it a referral from a current customer? Was it the result of a Google search? Did one of your reps conduct the initial outreach?
Having even just this basic information about your lost deals readily available can save your reps a lot of time upfront by preventing them from focusing on leads from sources with a low win rate. It can also lead to optimizations across your business; for example, perhaps your marketing team should steer clear of a particular search term that consistently results in loss.
Knowing exactly which sales reps sourced and/or touched a lost deal can surface important sales coaching opportunities. Is one rep consistently qualifying deals that don't make it to the closing stage? Do certain reps fall flat when it comes to converting prospects in certain verticals or with particular objections? Situations like these warrant very different and very specific conversations that, once had, can have a major impact on closing rates.
1) Was a decision maker identified during the sales cycle?
2) If so, at what pipeline stage did this take place?
3) What were the attributes of this decision maker?
If no decision maker is being identified in the sales process, it looks like you and your team need to have a talk. Knowing at which stage of the sales pipeline the decision maker is being identified can help you determine whether this identification should take place earlier. Finally, understanding the job titles, experience levels and other characteristics of these lost deal decision makers will help you and your team spot "fakers" and more accurately and quickly detect the right decision makers for your solution.
Although not every sales team makes note of this information for each deal that it works, it should. Knowing what other solutions, both competitive and otherwise, were being used by lost prospects can tell you a lot about your product and your pitch. Do you find yourself losing against the same competitor over and over again? It may be time to update your sales enablement materials. What about missing out on deals where the prospect is using a particular marketing automation or helpdesk solution? Lack of integration could be the culprit.
Stage duration refers to the amount of time each of your deals spent in a given stage of the sales pipeline, such as Qualified, Quote or Close. Is there a particular stage where lost deals seem to go silent or drop off? Perhaps you need to rethink your pipeline, redefine the process steps within each stage or provide reps with better coaching and resources to effectively move these deals through the funnel.
Outlining the specific steps and information, or exit criteria, needed to move a deal from one pipeline stage to the next is the heart and soul of your sales process. Examining the exit criteria of your lost deals will not only show you if you're asking the right questions to properly qualify your leads, but will also help you identify red flags in the future. Did your failure to establish budget early on come back to bite you later in the sales process? Do prospects that put off that on-site meeting wind up in your lost deal analysis report? Answers to questions like these tell you what to do differently next time.
Of course, one lost or unqualified deal can only tell you so much. The idea is to collect this information across many lost deals over time to start identifying patterns and variances. You can also examine the same set of dimensions across your won and lost deals and compare to help weed out assumptions and coincidences.
Even deeper insights can be found when you start measuring your deals by more than one dimension at a time to see how they overlap with and impact one another. For example, if you analyze deals from a particular lead source (dimension 1) by sales rep (dimension 2), you may discover that one rep simply excels at closing deals from a particular lead source, while the others require more training.
Are you ready to take the leap and conduct a "lost deal autopsy" for your business? The first step is deciding what sales dimensions to measure first. For help getting started, register for our Science of Sales 101 eCourse.

Hockey Canada: Sports minister orders forensic audit
OTTAWA –
Canada's sports minister ordered a forensic audit of Hockey Canada after the organization recently settled a lawsuit with a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by multiple members of the country's 2018 world junior hockey team.
Pascale St-Onge said she was "shocked and angry" and said an investigation will be carried out to ensure public funds were not used in an out-of-court settlement to "cover up" the story.
The plaintiff, identified as "EM" in court records, claimed she was repeatedly assaulted while intoxicated in a London, Ontario, hotel room following a Hockey Canada event honoring the gold medal-winning junior team.
The woman, now 24, was seeking $3.55 million in damages. Details of the settlement were not released.
Bloc Quebecois MP Sebastien Lemire, who introduced a motion Thursday in the House of Commons calling for an investigation, said he was "outraged" by the allegations.
"How do we learn (about this) four years after the fact?" he asked. "Have we covered up charges of sex scandal allegations involving Hockey Canada players?"
In a statement released May 26, Hockey Canada said the plaintiff chose not to speak with both the police and Hockey Canada's independent investigator. The organization also said the woman did not want to identify the players involved.
"This was her right and we fully respect her wishes," the statement said.
The National Hockey League also launched an investigation.
"We will endeavor to determine the underlying facts and, to the extent of this may involve players who are now in the NHL, we will determine what action, if any, would be appropriate," the league said in the statement.

How One Woman's Food Redistribution App is Feeding Thousands
Cat Johnson| March 16, 2016
Komal Ahmad is solving what she calls the "most unnecessary problem of our time." Photo: Facebook
Komal Ahmad was a student at UC Berkeley when she experienced a life-changing moment. She had just returned from summer training for the U.S. Navy when she met a homeless veteran on the sidewalk. He hadn't eaten in three days.
Yet, across the street, thousands of pounds of uneaten food was being thrown away by her school. This was unacceptable to Ahmad, so she did something about it.
"Those who have and are wasting and those who need and are starving — and they're both living quite literally right across the street from each other," she told the New York Times. "That's just ridiculous."
Ahmad started experimenting with ways that technology could help redistribute uneaten food to those who need it. Her first project was Feeding Forward, a local partnership with UC Berkeley's cafeteria. It grew into Copia, a food redistribution app that has given away an estimated 600,000 pounds of food to 720,000 people in the Bay Area. During the Super Bowl, Copia organized numerous pickups from events and parties that fed over 41,000 people with food that otherwise would have gone to waste.
The app enables companies with excess food to hail Copia drivers who pick it up and deliver it to local nonprofits. It's an efficient, tech-enabled way to solve what Ahmad has called the "most unnecessary problem of our time."
"Everyone wins," Ahmad told the Times. "We win because we're feeding hundreds of thousands of people – including veterans, especially, and children and women. And corporations get to reduce the amount of food that they're wasting. They reduce disposal costs. They get to feed people directly in their community, which is awesome. And we also help our environment."

Q&A: Sean Melican, Upper School Chemistry Teacher
Actions is a new editorial feature from Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child. Each month we will spotlight the dedicated faculty and staff across the PK-12 campus who make a difference in the lives of OKS students and the life of the school. This week, we feature:
Sean Melican
Upper School Chemistry
Q: As an Upper School science teacher, can you talk about how our curriculum prepares our older students for a strong science foundation that they need to succeed in high school and beyond?
A: Our science curriculum is intentionally designed to follow student growth. Ninth-grade students take physics, which is an easy-to-visualize science. This is followed by chemistry, which is more abstract, and then biology, which utilizes many of the concepts in chemistry. While students are only required to take these three courses, most choose to take a fourth-year science, either an AP class or Marine Science and Anatomy and Physiology. In each science, students not only receive a solid foundation in the theoretical and practical aspects, but are asked to think more deeply about the why.
Q: What has been your favorite project that you have worked on with your students and why?
A: This is easy! It's our BIPOC in Science project. Originally conceived as a project for students to learn about BIPOC scientists that have been historically forgotten, it has grown – thanks to student interest – to include current scientists. Students pick a BIPOC scientist to research, then write an essay on why that person should be TIME magazine's person of the year. It grew out of the recognition that almost every scientist named in our histories of that science or whose name has been given to a concept or process is almost always white and male. Our intent was to disrupt this narrative and to develop a broader understanding of the effects of racism on science, which is generally considered 'objective.'
Q: What, in your opinion, does Oak Knoll School do differently that sets us apart from other schools, and why is this important?
A: I think Oak Knoll does an excellent job of educating the whole child. While we certainly have strong academics, we also have opportunities in sports at all levels; the arts, including theater, dance, and music; a wide variety of clubs; and opportunity for leadership. I think it's safe to say that many if not all of our students engage in more than one non-academic pursuit. Secondly, while we have a long way to go, Oak Knoll has embraced its role in educating students and nurturing a culture that prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in our students, faculty, and curriculum. This is not only our responsibility as humans but a main pillar of the school's founding and mission. Learn more about Oak Knoll's DEIJ efforts here.
Q: Hands-on learning is so important for all of our students. Can you talk a bit about how you incorporate hands-on learning in your classes? Can you give us a few examples?
A: In chemistry, we normally do labs with most of our units. These incorporate the concepts we are learning as well as techniques such as how to use a balance, a burette, or a graduated cylinder. Additionally, in some classes we incorporate some a deeper understanding by having the students analyze sources of error. Finally, we do our best to make sure that not only are all of these requirements satisfied, but that it is visually stimulating as well. It's not terribly exciting to mix two clear liquids and get another clear liquid.
Q: When your students graduate from Oak Knoll, what do you want them to remember?
A: I want them to remember that science is for everyone. Too often, there is a belief that science and scientists are 'elite' and that people are either 'science people' or not. I would like each student to have found some aspect of science that appeals to them regardless of whether they pursue science later in life. Finally, I would like them to be scientifically literate, able to distinguish good data from anecdotal evidence as well as to appreciate the beauty and joy of science.
Sean Melican has been teaching at Oak Knoll School for 10 years. He has a bachelor's from Colgate University and a master's from University of St. Joseph in Connecticut.

A review of generalist and specialist community health workers for delivering adolescent health services in sub-Saharan Africa
Koon, Adam D.
Goudge, Jane
Norris, Shane A.
Periodical title
Human Resources for Health, 11 (54)
The health of adolescents is increasingly seen as an important international priority because the world's one point eight billion young people (aged 10 to 24 years) accounts for 15.5% of the global burden of disease and are disproportionately located in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Furthermore, an estimated 70% of premature adult deaths are attributable to unhealthy behaviors often initiated in adolescence (such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity). In order for health services to reach adolescents in LMICs, innovative service delivery models need to be explored and tested. This paper reviews the literature on generalist and specialist community health workers (CHWs) to assess their potential for strengthening the delivery of adolescent health services.

It's Labour Day, Camilla's favourite weekend of the year. She's planning to relax and ponder what's happening in her relationship with policman Sgt. Ray Deveau. She's emphatically not planning to get involved in anything that means trouble. No wonder the news that an old acquaintance has had an accident comes as a surprise. There must be some mistake. By the time Camilla unearths Laura's connection to a violent revolutionary group active two decades earlier, she's had several blows to the head and discovered that people shes been talking to keep ending up dead. Someone will do anything to keep Laura's connections secret. Getting arrested is the least of Camilla's problems.

UPDATE: Man charged with attempted murder, more after shooting, short standoff with police
Published 10:42 pm Tuesday, September 13, 2022
A man has been charged with attempted murder and additional charges after shooting someone and then fleeing into a nearby house, resulting in a short standoff with police.
In addition to attempted murder, Quindarious Smith, 28, has been charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to a press release from the LaGrange Police Department.
Smith is the suspect in a shooting Tuesday afternoon, where a male subject was shot in the upper body. The victim was transported via Life Flight to a metro area hospital and is in serious but stable condition, according to the press release. He was undergoing surgery. Officers immediately received information the suspect had fled the scene and was now inside the residence of 1313 Juniper Street.
The LPD helped the uninvolved residents of 1313 Juniper Street evacuate to safety. After a short standoff, Smith surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident.
Smith is a convicted felon from a previous armed robbery conviction.

Q: Relationship between the minimum cost rooted k-edge connected subgraph and the unrootd version in undirected graphs In the undirected rooted k-edge connected subgraph problem, the goal is to find a minimum cost subgraph in which there are k edge-disjoint paths between the root and each vertex in the graph. The generalized version for undirected graphs aims to find a subgraph in which each pair of vertices has k-edge disjoint paths.
Is it possible that given the optimal solution to one problem, we could create an optimal solution for the other one? I have tried to see if it is possible to construct an optimal solution for the generalized version, given the optimal solution to the rooted version. We have k paths from each node to the root, so it is possible to match these subpaths to create k paths between any pairs. However, I haven't been able to prove that such paths would necessarily be disjoint.

A: Your approach is working. Menger's theorem states that the size of a minimal $s-t$ cut is equal to the number of edge disjoint paths between $s$ and $t$.
The generalized version is equivalent to the rooted version.
The following propositions are equivalent:

*

*The graph is $k$ connected

*The graph have no $s-t$ $k$-cut (definition of $k$-connected)

*Every pair of vertices $s,t$ have $k$ edge disjoint paths (Menger's theorem)

*For a fixed root $r$, the graph have no $r-t$ $k$-cut (definition of $k$-connected, a $k$-cut must have $r$ on one side)

*For a fixed root $r$, every pair of vertices $r,t$ have $k$ edge disjoint paths (Menger's theorem)

A new year means new budgets and new hires, if you're lucky. As 2016 starts rushing along, many companies are deep in their hunt to find fresh talent to support expansion and ensure success in meeting annual goals down the line. When recruiters are under the gun to fill seats quickly with great people, a successful hire can offer a temporary sigh of relief before moving on to the next open requisition. Once the offer is accepted, the battle is almost won. If you want to ensure a true hiring victory though, there are a few steps to take that can help your newest employees perform at the best of their abilities in the first 90 days and well beyond.
A recruiter's job doesn't end when the position is filled. Much of their success is tied to the proven value of a new employee over time. Here is an important fact to remember: more than half of all employees who left their job in the past year did so within the first twelve months. Furthermore, over 40 percent of the turnover reported occurred within the first six months alone. This shows that the time right after hiring during the onboarding period is the most crucial. If the worker isn't happy in their new setting in the first few months, their underperformance, termination, or vacating of the role in the future can have deeply negative effects on team morale and productivity.
Employee onboarding is a challenge for any organization as it often requires heavy documentation and dedicated attention to recruitment compliance and regulations. No one enjoys completing or sorting large amounts of onboarding paperwork, that's for certain. The ability to allow new hires to complete key documentation and assessments online before day one allows them to engage in more meaningful training during their first week.
2. The "buddy system" still works.
Almost 50 percent of job seekers prefer a "clan" type of culture at their company, which is defined as a collaborative and team-oriented environment. Additionally, over 40 percent say they want to be managed by someone who is more like a coach or a mentor. With these key points in mind, it's clear that every employee wants to feel a genuine, friendly connection to their coworkers and managers. Employees with better friendships also tend to stay on with their company for longer periods of time. Consider assigning an internal mentor to the new hire as part of the onboarding process, and encourage them to meet with and get to know the new team member's goals, motivations, and concerns to establish loyalty and support early on.
3. Tell them what you want.
When ranking employment perks from most to least important, candidates put job/skills training and development was at the top of the list. Yet, 50 percent of employees report insufficient career development and training from their current employers. Employees want to do a good job, and they want to know how. Transparency, consistency, and communication are key when introducing a new person to the company and instilling shared values and definitions of success.
According to a study from the Academy of Management Journal, the first 90 days of employment are pivotal to building rapport with the company, management and coworkers. When teammates and company leaders showed high levels of support, new hires often had more positive attitudes about their job and even worked harder. When support and direction were not as strong, the opposite effect occurred, leading to low-productivity and unhappiness. So although it's natural to feel like the job is done once the candidate has become an official employee, it's actually just the beginning of the true assimilation into the organization.


Subjects in any discipline are often compartmentalized and this was so in the study of electricity and magnetism. A magnet has an invisible force field around it which can be visualised with iron filings or small compass needles. Equally an electrically charged object creates a field and this can be displayed with small seeds (I have used dried hay seeds) in castor oil. Various electrode configurations can be studied and it is always seen that the field lines are at right angles to any conducting surface. For many decades the two subjects were kept appart althought it was appreciated that there were many similarities between electric and magnetic fields. However, Newton had energised science and many experiments were being carried out in many parts of the world so breaking down these barriers. For instance, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851), a Danish scientist, noticed that a compass needle was deflected when placed near a wire carrying an electric current and hence a linkage occured between electricity and magnetism. This was an exciting time for Physics and one may wish to read the Google book "Electricity and Magnetism - a historical pespective, by Brian Scott Baingrie or a more recent account from https://uwaterloo.ca/phys13news/sites .
Three features about electrical currents and magnetism can be hightlighted : (a) a wire carrying a current produceds a magnetic field, (b) if the current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field then a force will be exerted on the wire, (c) if the wire (no current) is moved in a magnetic field then a voltage will be developed in the wire. A very good website to explore is that produced at the University of Colorado http://phet.colorado.edu . This site covers many simulations in science and the ones concerning electromagnetism are very informative.
A compass needle of iron filings demonstrated that a magnetic field was present and the direction of the field is determined by the RIGHT HAND GRIP rule : if the thumb defines the current direction then the fingers lie along the magnetic loops.
Section I is for cases with permanent magnets The a current carrying coductor will experience a force when the conductor is placed in a magnetic field.
The force is given by a simple formula Force = B. i. L where B is the magnetic flux in Tesla, i is the current (A) and L is the length (m) of the conductor . The direction of the force in Newtons is given by Fleming's Left Hand Rule.
Only approximate calculations, using Force = B.i.L , may be carried out as the profile of the magnetic field within the magnet is not will known. From the graph, a mass increase of 65gm is recorded for a current of 4 A. Assuming g = 10 m/s2 then the magnetic force is 0.65N. With an average value of B as 0.035 T and an approximate value of L as 3 cm (x 150 for the turns) we calculate 0.63 N for the right hand side of the equation. It is only fortuitous that good agreement is obtained since the upper part of the coil will give a repulsive force in the stray magnetic field. The graph shows that there is a linear relationship between current and force as expected.
The spring produces a restraining torque proportional to the angular deflection of the pointer.
The current, however, produces a deflecting torque (green vectors) proportional to current since B and L are constant. Thus current is measured by the deflection of the pointer. This type of meter has been used for many years until the arrival of the digital world in the last few decades.
Section II is for cases where the magnetic field is generated by currents in wires. In the second Figure sheet of the session we noted that the currents in a solenoid produced a magnetic field pattern that was very similar to that of a bar magnetand therefore one may anticipate that forces will occur between current carrying conductors.
The ampere is that steady current which, when it is flowing in each of two infinitely long, straight, parallel conductors with a separation of 1 metre causes each conductor to exert a force of 2x10-7 N on each metre of the other.
Unfortunately, the solution of this equation is complex and relies on elliptic integrals. However many texts give approximate expressions and these can be used to estimate the forces between coils.
The experiments of Oersted and others had showed that "electricity can produce magnetism" but the inverse effect "magnetism to electricity" had to wait over TEN years before it was discovered. This could have resulted from feelings that steady currents and voltages were anticipated and we now know that electromagnetic INDUCTION requires a changing magnetic flux. History usually credits Faraday (1791-1876) with the discovery of electromagnetic induction despite the fact that Henry (1797-1878) had made the same discovery a year before. However, a paper presented by Faraday on 24th Nov 1831 to the Royal Society is generally taken as the date of discovery.
If the Colorado site is opened http://phet.colorado.edu then Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab may be selected from the Physics section. One is invited to "Play with simulations" then download and open .
After a short loading time there is a full screen presentation with five options "Bar Magnet", "Pick-up coil", "Electomagnet", "Transformer" and "Generator". The "Generator" depicts a water-powered unit where the bulb is illuminated periodically as the magnet is rotated.
The "Transformer" shows that no emf is generated until the primary is changed to an alternating source ( slide voltage button back and forth) .
Have fun .... and a special thanks to Phet for making the simulations available.

The inter-twining of electricity and magnetism has resulted in a general title being used to embrace both topics , namely, "electromagnetism" . This is the third element of classical physics (together with mechanics and thermodynamics) that propelled the scientific world into the ninetheeth century. Many more exciting areas of physics were yet to unfold as the Quantum World became a reality.
" the beauty of electricity and magnetism .... is not that they are hidden or mysterious....but that they both obey physical laws"

A DC motor is the most common class of electrical machines that converts direct current electrical power into mechanical power or the other way around. DC motor relies on the forces produced by magnetic fields N and S. The speed can be controlled using a Rotary encoder or by changing the strength of current in its fields. In hackSpace we have 5-9V DC motors and slightly more powerful 12V. Toy companies usually use small DC motors.
Wiring is very simple two wires: one positive and one negative. You may use Arduino motor shield to power and control motors at the same time, however the example below explain how to connect the DC motor to Arduino without a motor shield.

Cirque Du Soleil are currently touring Australia with their show Ovo. Described as "an immersion into the teeming and energetic world of insects" the show creates a colourful ecosystem where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a "non-stop riot of energy and movement." You can go here to buy tickets for your nearest city and see a little preview video of the show.
Artist and filmmaker Lynette Wallworth's latest film about climate change and coral reefs Coral: Rekindling Venus premiered on Tuesday night to coincide with World Environment Day, and the transit of Venus across our sun. Not just another enviro-aware doco, Coral: Rekindling Venus is designed for screening on the dome-shaped ceilings of planetariums, and that's exactly where you'll be able to go and see it. Of the film, Wallworth says "My intent is to leave the audience with a sense of wonder for the complexity of the coral community and a deep-felt longing to see it survive." In what is still a relatively unexplored arena for filmmakers, screenings of Coral: Rekindling Venus are sure to leaving you feeling rather out-of-this-world. For more information and to find screenings near you, visit http://coralrekindlingvenus.com/.
Anthony Warlow
Australia's biggest musical theatre star, Anthony Warlow, is leaving the Australian tour of Annie to make his debut in the New York Broadway version as Daddy Warbucks. The new production of Annie is opening at the Palace Theatre on Broadway on October 3rd, with his final Australian performance set for August 5th at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne. Warlow said he'd been asked many times to perform in the US but the timing had never been right. This role will make him the first Australian stage star to be cast directly into a Broadway production without a stint on the West End or in Canada first, the exception being Hugh Jackman who opened The Boy from Oz and had the movie star advantage, as Warlow points out in an interview with The Australian. "I'll still have to earn my stripes there because my audience in Australia know me," Warlow says of his prospects on Broadway. "But at the core is the basic script I've been working with for 20 years." We wish him well!
Hogan's Heroes' star and host of the US game show Family Feud, Richard Dawson, has sadly passed away at the age of 79. Dawson was best known for his role as the Cockney POW Corporal Peter Newkirk in the 1960s sitcom Hogan's Heroes.
Aussie actor and Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth has popped the question to his girlfriend of three years, 19 year old American singer and actor Miley Cyrus. Hemsworth, 22, proposed on May 31st with a 3.5 carat, cushion-cut diamond set in an "Art Noveau-inspired" gold band from jeweller Neil Lane (wow!), reports WHO.
Director of the Batman trilogy, Christopher Nolan, has said his final instalment (The Dark Knight Rises) is "the biggest (film) anyone's done since the silent era." A huge claim, and with Nolan being a notably humble character, such a claim is bound to prick one's ears. Nolan told the UK's Empire magazine "I think this is the biggest one I've done. The biggest one anyone's done since the silent era, in technical terms. Shooting on IMAX, you want to justify that we've put our resources more into what we were shooting on the day than computer graphics. It's not what you're used to seeing. I don't know when someone last did a film with 11,000 extras in a real environment. It is an escalation. You want things to be justifiably bigger and more extreme than what you've done in the last film. As long as the story supports that." The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20th.

Since 2005 we've been looking for the best items we can find at a good price. We are passionate about Tea, and look forward to help you explore one of the finest things life has given us! We offer free wireless internet, and a small selection of scones, cookies, and chocolates, to enjoy with your cup of tea. You can get a cup of tea to go by selecting any of the, over 400 jars, of loose leaf teas and we will brew a cup for you.
We are mainly a retail tea shop, located on Stratford Rd. in the Stratford Place Plaza. We opened our shop in October of 2005, with a modest line of tea wares including Royal Patrician, Lomonosov, and Heritage collections, some food items and with a nice selection of over 300 teas.
Since then we have expanded our tea wares, and our teas on a regular basis, always looking for what we feel are some of the best items we can find at a good price. As we grow we intend to expand into the higher quality tea wares and some of the best teas we can find. We now offer over 500 varieties of tea, including herbals, rooibos, Mate's, and fruit teas. We deal primarily in loose leaf teas, but we also carry some teabags.


There's nothing like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and this latest Moregeous challenge will be exactly that. A top floor mini flat which was a studio, west facing over green trees (rare in central Manchester!) with a sliver of a puke coloured bathroom.
How to turn this pile of hideousness into a Moregeous palace of rental delight in 8 weeks. Jeez, the goals I set myself.
Project Squeeze - I still can't comprehend that someone once paid rent for this dump. And I took it, for a while, the shame!!
It pained me to rip this bathroom out as someone had clearly spent so much time, money and design effort getting it just right, but sometimes you just have to be brutal.

| I'll never hate you, "Parks and Rec"
I'll never hate you, "Parks and Rec"
6:00 am, Mar 30, 2012
I understand that the first season is underwhelming, the concept seems tired and the setting is unexciting, but "Parks and Recreation" is still my favorite show on TV right now. Yes, the skeptics have valid points, but they're wrong: properly appreciated, "Parks and Rec" is a great show with a few entirely flawless episodes. (For your reference, they are "The Fight," "Fancy Party" and "Li'l Sebastian.") The first thing to understand about "Parks and Recreation" is that it is not "The Office." It's a faux-documentary, single-camera, Thursday night NBC workplace comedy with Rashida Jones, but it is not "The Office."
While "The Office" features the full spectrum of characters, from people you could meet in the real world to the over-the-top histrionic, pretty much everyone on "Parks and Rec" is somewhat cartoonish, albeit grounded by their circumstances (small-town bureaucracy). And while Scranton, Pa. is pretty remorselessly realistic, Pawnee, Ind. is a cross between satire of middle America (the town slogan is "First in friendship, fourth in obesity") and straight-up absurdity. One of the strongest elements of the show is its cast of recurring secondary characters (shout-out to Jean-Ralphio), all of whom are flagrantly insane. Everyone in the main cast of the show is some kind of caricature, as well kind of a loser, stuck in the mechanics of small-town government. Most of them aren't even especially likable (which is why it can take a few episodes to get into the show). With the exception of Ann Perkins, whose absence of quirks keeps everything somewhat lifelike, "Parks and Rec" is a collection of weird types and goofy ad-libs. And yet for all of its ridiculous, flawed, frequently flailing characters, what makes the show stand out is its depth. For such a silly city, Pawnee comes with a seemingly inexhaustible lore (the Fourth Floor, the murals at city hall, the infamous raccoon infestation). And while Leslie's intense enthusiasm for her city is frequently satirized, it's also deliberately admirable. Dumpy Pawnee, Ind. can be a great city; local government can transcend its role as what libertarian parks director Ron Swanson calls "a greedy piglet that suckles on the taxpayer's teat." More poignant still are the relationships between the characters. How a show so deliberately absurd can have such palpable emotional stakes I don't know, but it makes "Parks & Rec" incredibly entertaining.
My personal favorite episode of the show is about a horse funeral, the most perfect horse-funeral-themed half hour of television ever aired. Li'l Sebastian, a miniature horse mysteriously beloved by the entire population of Pawnee, has died. Each character's reaction is pitch-perfect, somehow both loveable and insane. Man, myth and legend Ron Swanson: "I have cried twice in my life. Once when I was 7 and I was hit by a school bus. And then again when I heard that Li'l Sebastian had passed." Hyperactive health freak Chris Traeger responds with terror at his own unavoidable demise, while Leslie and Ben are forced to scramble to hide their illicit relationship (with the bonus revelation of their role-playing preferences: "And this is how Eleanor Roosevelt would kiss.") The characters rallying together to put on a funeral that the little horse deserves is, of course, entirely weird, but there's something touching about it for each of them: real-world emotional stakes for a horse funeral that features a character getting his eyebrows burned off in a giant fireball.
"Parks & Rec" uses its emotional power to create a wide range of successful comic duos (Leslie and Ron, Ron and April, Leslie and Ann, Ben and Leslie, Chris and Ben) with interesting and dynamic relationships. The fraught but affectionate dynamic between government-loving Leslie Knope and her boss, avowed libertarian Ron Swanson, would be less funny without its accumulated mutual respect, and less heartwarming without its constant snafus.
Incidentally, the formula created the most adorable sitcom marriage of all time. Screw Jim and Pam, who took six seasons to get married — Andy and April hosted a dinner party that turned out to be an undercover wedding, planned completely on a whim. (Andy: "I cannot emphasize how little we thought about it.") April is Ron's sarcastic, unmotivated intern who claims to hate everyone; Andy's an overgrown man-child whose tenure on the show began when he fell into a giant pit. Together, they have a completely functional, relatable marriage that doesn't need will-they-or-won't-they tension to stay aloft.
April's wedding vows: "I guess I kind of hate most things. But I never really seem to hate you. So I want to spend the rest of my life with you, is that cool?"


Its the open weekend for BioWare's new IP, Anthem, and I, like any good gamer, took the opportunity to dip and test the waters.
My first impressions were that it reminded me of Warframe. That is until I worked out how to fly. After that, I felt like Iron Man. Comparisons to Bungie's Destiny franchise are obvious, but in reality only as far as being in the same genre of a shared world shooter.
The game is essentially made up of two different sections. You have a hub, which unlike Destiny is not social, and is limited to walking around in first person talking to NPCs to get the context for all the story missions. The second section of the game is the third person flying, sprinting and fighting in the exosuit chunk of the game.
Both sections look good but the first person stuff at the moment feels like a bolt on. The action side is reminiscent of Mass Effects' over the shoulder shooting, But the traversal methods set this game apart and I took great joy in scatting the Iron Man theme tune down the mic to my squad. The environments are suitability beautiful and the sound is awesome, especially when bullets ricochet off metal or when you ignite your jetpack.
Issues for me are the stupid number of load screens and the bolt on feel of the first person sections, but these could change by the time the full game launches later this month (though it is doubtful). Still, this wouldn't stop me from buying and playing this with my boys later this year.

We can't actually start the creation process until we get a better computer, and so we are waiting for Hawkfriend to get a better PC, which he hopefully will soon. Thank you, that is all.
Oh yeah, thanks Kanga for the great forum suggestions! We will be reorganizing the forum according to your suggestions soon.
...Possibly. Maybe. Don't throw in the towel yet.
I saw the sample kanga gave us, and immediately saw how much more efficient it was.
Ye the changes are good much better.And i assume its not done yet seeing as how parts are blank for now..i'm sure they will be put back.. especially the storyline part >.< can't work without it.. but i'll be a patient puppy XD.

Military vehicles, equipment, ships and aircraft are all exposed to extreme conditions. For the U.S. Armed Forces, only military grade paints that meet stringent military standards are suitable for these conditions.
Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings (CARC) are well-known military grade paints. Products meeting this specification resist the penetration of chemical agents and require special storage. This is important for decontamination. Vehicles exposed to chemicals are quickly cleaned and returned to service. There is no danger of chemical agents leaching out from the exposed paint. CARC coatings also aid infrared signature management. The camouflage colors cause vehicles to blend in with surroundings. They remain invisible even to infrared technology.
Extreme heat, salt water and chemical agents can accelerate corrosion. The military uses zinc chromate primers for corrosion protection. These specialized military coatings are sensitive and represent an investment in protecting vital military vehicles and equipment. They require strict adherence to military grade paint storage parameters to prevent the paint from degrading. The most important of these parameters is temperature control.
RELATED ARTICLE: How Does the Military Handle Hazardous Waste Storage?
When the temperature of paint drops too low, it separates into its constituent parts. This effect is reversible by reheating the paint. But the more often the paint cycles through this process, the greater the chance that it will not completely mix together again. High temperatures destroy paints. They cause solvent evaporation and chemical changes.
It is also important to have a consistent paint application temperature. Temperature variances cause paint viscosity variances, which result in poor quality finishes. Store military grade paint in a controlled temperature range to maintain paint quality and application consistency.
U.S. Chemical Storage manufactures prefabricated paint storage buildings that meet the requirements of military grade paint storage. These buildings conform to NFPA-compliant storage for all types of chemicals. Different models are available depending on fire ratings and storage requirements.
Paint storage buildings are necessary to meet NPFA and EPA compliance requirements and are typically manufactured with automatic temperature controllers. The Programmable Temperature Controllers monitor and maintain set temperature ranges. Depending on the external climate conditions, the building may activate a heater, cooling equipment or dehumidifier as needed to maintain the desired temperature range.
Our military grade paint storage buildings – and all of our paint storage buildings – also come standard with built-in spill containment sumps to prevent environmental incidents. Mechanical ventilation ensures that any flammable vapors do not build up inside the building and create a fire risk.
U.S. Chemical Storage supplies paint storage buildings for the military to keep paint safe and protect paint quality. Our team of experts take care of your storage needs so you can focus on mission preparedness. Contact us today to request a free quote.

Chuka Umunna photographed with girlfriend just before he announced his Labour leadership bid.
Several days ago Labour MP Chuka Umunna announced he was running for the Labour leadership.
Earlier today he announced he has withdrawn from the race.
'Shortly before the election campaign, I made the decision, in the event that Labour was defeated and a new Leader was to be elected, to stand for the leadership of the party if there was a desire in the party for me to do so.
'I dearly hoped Labour would win the election and it was a decision I would not have to implement. I also thought I understood the scrutiny and attention a leadership contest would bring.
'As a member of the Shadow Cabinet, I am used to a level of attention which is part and parcel of the job. I witnessed the 2010 leadership election process close up and thought I would be comfortable with what it involved.
'However since the night of our defeat last week I have been subject to the added level of pressure that comes with being a leadership candidate. I have not found it to be a comfortable experience. One can imagine what running for leader can be like, understand its demands and attention but nothing compared to actually doing it and the impact on the rest of one's life.
'Consequently after further reflection I am withdrawing my candidacy. I apologise to all those who have kindly supported and encouraged me to to do this and for disappointing them. I know this will come as a surprise to many but I had always wondered whether it was all too soon for me to launch this leadership bid – I fear it was.
What really forced him to redraw his bid for the leadership? And did he really think that running for the leadership was going to be a walk in the park?
