Twitter's shaking up the news feed, ostensibly to make on-boarding easier and to make finding relevant tweets easier. But content marketers are cringing at the Facebook-like model change that might follow. Bay Area startups know all about iterative releases – baby steps, in effect, that roll out small changes frequently. So why are they dead set on a wholesale news feed change?
From a content marketer's point of view, we're all struggling to find an effective Twitter advertising strategy. Brands big and small are fretting over what to tweet or post, and real-time marketing has become a reality way too fast for some.
So how can Twitter do what we know it needs to do–increase engagement–without yoinking our noses too far out of joint?
Instead of focusing on aesthetics, Twitter knows it needs to design an interface that's conducive to engagement, not just finding new people to follow. More and more, marketers want to see the potential for results from Twitter, not a dilution of their strategies. They want a bona fide brand page with usage metrics — not simply a verified account. They want promoted tweets that are hyper-focused, not open to any and every user and barely used.
2. Show me retweets of my Tweeps. Twitter should put more weight on the activity of users you engage with regularly. Rather than making me sort through updates I don't regularly engage with, show me the tweets my Tweeps are retweeting. If they find them interesting, I might, too.
5. Make it easier to start a conversation. I can't believe the Twitter homepage still doesn't have a way to add text to a retweet. The mobile version has this feature (albeit with two character-sucking quotes), and TweetDeck (acquired by Twitter a years ago) has always had it. You can "reply," but that knocks out the context of the tweet for your followers and stifles conversation with the original user.
Twitter needs to start giving its users and marketers what they want: access to increased engagement and information on topics unique to users' interests. Anything less, and Twitter is bound to lose its clout in the social media marketing industry.

The Stags fell to a bitterly disappointing defeat in East London this afternoon, as Leyton Orient picked up the 3 points to continue their fine form at home. Mansfield dominated the first half, despite a slow start, but failed to take their chances and were made to pay as two goals in the last 20 minutes gave the home side a 3-1 victory.
Mansfield were without Liam Lawrence, who didn't travel to London. Keith Curle insisted both before and after the game that the reason was that Lawrence was not fit to play. However it is being widely reported in the Sheffield media today that Lawrence is due to join Rotherham United on Monday, possibly on a 3 month loan deal.
The Stags goal came from a corner, when Buxton flew into the box, and headed the ball down into the ground and up into the net from 12 yards. It seemed to us in the Mansfield 103.2 commentary box that Larkin had claimed a touch as the ball went in. Both of the players celebrated as though they were claiming the goal, and video evidence suggests it could have flicked off Larkin's hair, but after the game Keith Curle was adamant that it was Buxton's goal.

My favorite bulb company, Colorblends teases that you can plant 100 bulbs in 30 minutes if you follow their method. 100 bulbs in 30 minutes- are you kidding me? I had to try it. Click HERE to watch me put this trick to the test as I did for WFSB's Better Connecticut.
You can be sure that little editing was done- I'm out of breath and you can probably hear my sniffles from the chilly fall air- there was no fancy camera work here.
This is what we have to look forward to!
Truly, the only difficult part about gardening with bulbs is waiting until spring to see those magnificent blooms. So, now, I wait.
I first published this post about GroVert in the spring. Fast forward a couple of months and POW! Holy smokes am I impressed with this garden 'gadget'! Today on Better Connecticut Scot Haney and I checked in on my GroVert filled with herbs. It has done far better than I ever imagined. Until the station posts the video clip from today, the pictures above are of my GroVert, herbs-a-plenty.
My friend Peter who is the camera man for my Better Connecticut TV stories often teases me about being a plant nerd. I've thought this myself, but never more than tonight.
Something has been munching on my basil plants... for that matter my Coral Bells, Chrysanthemums, Dahlias and many others... but I never see ANY bugs around. Some bugs have vampire tendencies in that they only come out in the night time. Tonight I put on my L.L.Bean spot light hat and went out on a bug bust. Well, well, well look who I found! The Asiatic Garden Beetle. These devils look almost identical in form to a Japanese Beetle except for their coloring as they are all brown rather than green. They are also master defoliators, often just leaving the mid vein of a plant leaf. Most of my basil plants are mere skeletons! Gasp! Why did I wait so long?
Leaves with signs of leaf chewing- can you spy the beetles?
Upon my discovery, I quickly grabbed an empty bottle, squeezed in a teaspoon of dish soap, added some water and then headed to the garden adding a pair of gloves to my ensemble. I removed every beetle from each basil plant, adding each one to the bottle for a quick death in detergent. There was a lot of beetle hanky panky going on, so I was especially pleased to have interrupted baby beetle making. My husband came out to the garden wondering what the heck I was up to- he looked at me like I was nuts when I explained what I was doing and then added, "But I can't leave them here eating my plants! I have to do something!" So Peter, it's confirmed. I am a complete plant nerd and also a serial beetle murderer!
Imagine trying to explain to someone step-by-step how to ride a bike. I think it would be pretty difficult to explain how to balance without actually being on a bike, don't you think? This is kind of how I feel about explaining the five major elements of landscape design. It's difficult to explain, and some things just feel right, but you won't know until you're doing it. So, let's just jump on the design bike, try to find some balance and start pedaling!
In my opinion, there are five major elements of design. Click HERE to watch a quick video where I discuss these points on WFSB's Better Connecicut.
1. LINE. Line defines not only the shape of planting beds but also defines space. Good lines will direct the eye to or away from an area. Lines should be dramatic and not fussy.
2. SCALE. The size of plant materials and objects in the landscape should be appropriately sized, relative to the bones of the property. Imagine the mature size of plant material, or be prepared to do a lot of pruning to prevent plants from taking away from an area. Dwarf plants along the foundation of a 4,000 square foot home will look ridiculous. A friend once told me, "Landscaping is the icing on the cake. Don't skimp!" I couldn't agree more.
3. COLOR. Pick a color scheme, stick to it, and repeat. If you are more attracted to warm colors, plant reds, yellows and orange. If you like the cool colors of blue, plant that along with purple and pink. Personally, I'm a cool girl. I love the calmness of a garden filled with shades of blue and white. Whatever you do, don't try to plant a rainbow garden. The colors will compete together and cause stress on the eyes.
4. BALANCE. There are two types of balance- symmetrical and asymmetrical. One is not better than the other, it just comes down to personal preference. Symmetrical is easiest to describe. If you were to draw and imaginary line through a design, shapes and plants would be the same and equal on either side. Asymmetrical balance if for the seasoned designer. Plantings appear or feel balanced based on the weight of plant materials, the size of space or the placement of a walkway. This is the reason that many homes have an anchor tree on the opposite side of the house of the driveway.
5. TEXTURE. A planting of all broadleaf plants would be terribly boring. A planting of all feathery grasses would be a yawner. But mix the two together and wow! Plant a bunch of ferns next to a couple of hosta and each plant will complement the other like you've never seen before. Mix heavy and light, soft and prickly and remember that opposites attract!
Keep the five points above in mind when designing a landscape or even a small garden and repeat them over and over. Your landscape will have no choice but to be magnificent!


Back in August, Childish Gambino fan page Childish News shared a picture of rapper and actor Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover alongside singer, actor and fashion designer Rihanna. It appeared as though the two hugely talented, heavily hyphenated stars were filming a movie together, although not many details were known aside from the name (Guava Island), the setting (Cuba) and the director (Glover's frequent collaborator Hiro Murai). This past weekend, fans got a more in-depth look at the project—and it's officially time to get excited.
In addition to Glover and Rihanna, the film also stars Black Panther breakout actor Letitia Wright and Game of Thrones' Nonso Anozie. Glover appears to play a struggling musician who lives with his girlfriend, played by Rihanna. Frustrated with the constant struggle to make ends meet, Glover's character decides to take the day off and enjoy the island city he lives in.
The first trailer for Guava Island was revealed during Childish Gambino's PHAROS festival in New Zealand over the weekend. In its second year, the festival received mixed reviews from concert goers for what many described as a logistical nightmare, with the rapper constructing a dome to house the expansive show. It may not have been the ideal concert experience, but the festival did appear to be an adequate venue for debuting the trailer.


3 1/2 Inch Overall (3 Inch c-c) Traditional Square Cup Pull (Polished Nickel Finish) - measures 3 1/2 inches wide and 1 5/8 inches tall. Solid Brass construction. Projection of 5/8 inches. Comes complete with mounting hardware.

2019 N.B.A. Draft Lottery: Pelicans Win No. 1 Pick, and the Right to Select Zion Williamson
May 15, 2019 98 Views 0 Comments sports
After months of breathless anticipation — and a race to the bottom of the standings by several teams — the New Orleans Pelicans shocked everyone by winning the N.B.A. draft lottery on Tuesday night, giving them the No. 1 pick in a draft that will include one of the most acclaimed prospects in league history: Duke's Zion Williamson.
For the Pelicans to win the lottery, the three teams with the worst records this season — the Knicks (17-65), the Cleveland Cavaliers (19-63) and the Phoenix Suns (19-63) — had to lose again. They each came into the night with a 14 percent chance of getting the top pick in a revamped system designed to reduce the value of finishing at the very bottom. The Knicks ended up with the No. 3 pick, the Cavaliers with No. 5 and the Suns with No. 6.
New Orleans was tied for the seventh-best chance of getting the first pick — at just 6 percent — after finishing the season with a 33-49 record. Though not among the teams that appeared to tank for draft position, the Pelicans had trouble focusing all season because of drama surrounding a trade demand from their signature star, Anthony Davis. The question of what to do now about Davis — and possibly the rights to Williamson — will undoubtedly captivate the league in the lead-up to the draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 20.
Regardless of whether New Orleans stays at No. 1 or trades the pick, the top choice in the draft will almost assuredly be used on the 18-year-old Williamson, a player who has received as much attention as any amateur since LeBron James went straight to the N.B.A. from high school in 2003.
In an age in which 3-point-shooting skills seem to be valued above all else, Williamson is a throwback to a more rough-and-tumble era of the N.B.A. He stands 6 feet 7 inches and tips the scales at 280 pounds of sculpted muscle. He does much of his damage in the paint, using his power and his leaping ability to set up countless highlight-reel dunks.
Williamson acknowledged the overwhelming hype while doing his best to appear humble ahead of Tuesday's lottery.
"The biggest challenge is just trying to live up to everyone's expectations," he said in an interview televised before the lottery.
[The legend of Zion Williamson? That started long before he got to Duke.]
The night could not have played out better for David Griffin, who was named the executive vice president of basketball operations for the Pelicans in April.
Griffin's previous team, the Cavaliers, got the No. 1 pick in the lottery three times during his tenure, and now the Pelicans, who have never advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs, have the top spot for the second time in their history. The first time was in 2012, when, while still using the nickname Hornets, they selected Davis.
As the audience waited for Mark Tatum, the N.B.A.'s deputy commissioner, to announce the top four picks, Griffin stood onstage at the Hilton Chicago with the representatives of the three other teams that had yet to learn their fate. To his right loomed Patrick Ewing, the Hall of Fame Knicks center who was representing his former team, and to his left was Elliot Perry, a part-owner of the Memphis Grizzlies.
After the No. 3 pick went to the Knicks, Griffin leaned into Perry to brace for the announcement of the runner-up. He celebrated as soon as the Grizzlies were named as the recipients of the No. 2 pick.
"I think it's just another positive event for us in what's going to be — we hope — several that we stack together," Griffin said immediately after the lottery.
However enviable the Pelicans' circumstances seemed in that moment, the team must resolve the complications of having a disgruntled superstar and the opportunity to pick Williamson, who plays power forward, the same position as Davis. Griffin has said since his hiring that he did not consider trading Davis a foregone conclusion and that he believes the addition of a player like Williamson could increase the odds that Davis chooses to stay.
"I think if you look at the totality of where this organization is and where we're going, we feel very strongly that we're going be the environment he wants to be part of," Griffin said. "And if we're not, that's fine. We can deal with it from there."
Whoever ends up with Williamson — be it the Pelicans or another team via trade — will get a terrific player on both ends of the court who became just the third freshman to win the Naismith Award, which recognizes the nation's top college player. He averaged 22.6 points and 8.9 rebounds a game for the Blue Devils on their path to a round-of-8 appearance, with many feeling that the air drained out of the N.C.A.A. tournament when Duke was upset by Michigan State.
Until that loss, the only thing that had slowed Williamson's progress was a knee injury sustained when one of his sneakers split apart in the opening minute of a game against North Carolina in February. That moment, in which a shoe could not withstand the force of moving the giant player from side to side, seemed to bolster the Paul Bunyan-like hyperbole applied to Williamson, apparently without creating lasting physical problems for him.
The overall lottery played out like this (with the picks from 15 to 30 coming in reverse order of the 2018-19 standings):
1. New Orleans Pelicans
2. Memphis Grizzlies
3. Knicks
4. Los Angeles Lakers
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
6. Phoenix Suns
7. Chicago Bulls
8. Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas)
9. Washington Wizards
10. Atlanta Hawks
11. Minnesota Timberwolves
12. Charlotte Hornets
13. Miami Heat
14. Boston Celtics (via Sacramento)
In what should be viewed as a positive development by the league office, the fates of the Knicks, the Cavaliers and the Suns lent credibility to the new lottery system, which ended up flattening out the benefits of a bad record. This was the first draft under the new system, which team owners approved in 2017. In addition to lowering the worst team's chance of getting the top pick to 14 percent from 25 percent, it gave every franchise aside from the three with the most losses a better shot at finishing high in the lottery.
Ewing, who came to the Knicks as the No. 1 pick in 1985, the first year of the draft lottery, was unable to provide similar magic for a team that seemed to be pursuing the top pick so diligently that the director Spike Lee joked about it at this year's Academy Awards.
Instead it was Griffin's Pelicans that came away with the biggest draft prize in 16 years.
"This just jump-starts the process," Griffin said while trying to play down his excitement. "It'll be harder for me to mess it up than it would have been before this."

10 Relatively Affordable Camper-Van Conversions for Living That Van Life
Consider these for your next #vanlife adventure
Alexander StoklosaWords
Looking to get out there—you know, really out there—but tents are a no-go and you don't want to drag a trailer to sleep in or drive something the size of a house? Then you're looking for a camper van. These handy homes away from home are based on normal-sized trucks and vans, meaning they should fit in normal driveways and parking spaces and be fairly easy to drive. We've gathered up 10 worth considering for going #vanlife, although fair warning: Even while the majority sit at the affordable end of the camper-van and conversion-van spectrum, they're all significantly pricier than a regular ol' van with an air mattress thrown in the back.
Airstream Interstate Nineteen
Looking for the bougiest luxury conversion van? Airstream's smallest "Touring Coach" starts at the bargain price of $159,040 and comes finished to the same high standard as the company's legendary polished-aluminum trailers.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (a rather fine-driving commercial tool, if we may say so), the Nineteen includes a fold-out bed that spans the entire rear area of the camper van, as well as a bathroom, a kitchen, and even swiveling front seats that can turn to face the van's interior.
The name Nineteen is a nod to this van's 19-foot length, but spelling it out—instead of calling it the Interstate 19—adds a proper Airstream-y sense of class, don't you think?
Boho Camper Conversion
Boho Camper Vans is chill. Like, super chill. So chill, in fact, that it doesn't even specify "models" or "trim levels" for its creations. In fact, its creations seem entirely custom—you simply bring them money and a van, or let them pick a van for you, and the outfit will turn that van into a wood-lined cabin on wheels. Pricing starts at $29,000 for the conversions, not including the van.
Caravan Outfitter Free Bird Camper
Caravan Outfitter's Free Bird conversion vans are based on Nissan's humble NV200 cargo van, making them the smallest and most affordable on this list. If you want a cheap conversion van, a small conversion van, or have a tiny parking spot, the Free Bird is likely your best option.
The basic Free Bird Standard starts at $37,665—including the van—and includes a nifty removable (!) contraption that supports a double-size, longitudinally oriented bed. The apparatus fairly fills the NV200's cargo hold, and can be folded up to reveal booth-like seating with a central table, and also has slide-out drawers housing a 31-quart fridge and a single-burner gas stove.
As mentioned, the entire bed/dinette can be slid out of the NV200 and stored should you need the Nissan for cargo duties.
The $42,415 Pop-Top model is, as you've likely surmised already, is the same and adds a pop-up roof section that allows occupants to stand up in the back.
Winnebago Solis
The Solis falls near the upper end of this roundup's price spectrum, and it hails from one of the RV industry's mainstays, Winnebago.
All-new for 2020, the Solis is based on the Ram ProMaster cargo van and thus is manageably sized. It earns its $100,677 price tag a variety of ways—but we'll readily admit that the Solis won us over with a single luxury camper-van feature: Its heated bathroom. Nobody wants a chilly throne, right?
The rest of the Solis camper van is well-equipped, with a pop-up roof for standing space, a reconfigurable bed, swiveling front seats that can flip to face the living area, and full insulation on the walls and plumbing so that the vehicle can be parked and used in wildly varied climates.
Outside Van
Like Boho vans, Outside Van generates custom van builds for customers. There is no set template, nor does the outfitter require a single make of donor van, although the company's website seems to show a preference for Mercedes-Benz Sprinters. All of these large camper vans have one thing in common, however: They're all rugged-looking and built for living van life off the beaten path. Those not interested in delving into Outside Van's involved custom ordering process can choose from among the already-built inventory the company has on hand at any given time. This might be the one we'd choose if we ever decided to live the van life.
Off Grid Adventure Vans
Starting with a long-wheelbase (159-inch) Ram ProMaster van, Off Grid Adventure Vans will build you a camper in one of three layouts: Rambler, Summit, or Vagabond.
Happily, all three builds are affordable. After first buying the underlying ProMaster (about $36,000), customers need only shell out $33,000 for the entry-level Rambler setup. The Summit runs $35,000, and even the top-dog Vagabond costs just $38,000.
The differences between Off Grid's designs are minimal, and mostly have to do with the integration of the bed, which can be a fold-out Murphy-style unit or fixed, etc. Optional extras include an outdoor shower, a heater, a composting toilet, an extra solar panel, and a hot-water system.
Sportsmobile Classic 4x4
There are a number of camper models offered by the Sportsmobile brand, but easily the coolest is that based on the old Ford E-series commercial cutaway van chassis.
As Sportsmobile's website notes, the Ford Econoline E-series has been discontinued—but that doesn't mean it's stopped building them into campers. Customers can bring in used examples for conversion; those interested in a brand-new large conversion van can turn to Ford's E-series replacement, the Transit.
In any event, the E-series is bad-ass because it's tough as nails and, well, you could probably find one for cheap. The Classic 4x4 is based on the E-series cutaway; Sportsmobile adds a fiberglass shell from the cab back, as well as a $20,945 four-wheel-drive conversion.
With four-wheel drive and burly tires, the Classic 4x4 is remarkably rugged-looking. Its old-school frame and relatively narrow body do result in what appears to be a smaller living space than you might get in a more space-efficient, commodious modern camper van like a Ram ProMaster or Ford's Transit. But who cares when you could take this Sportsmobile practically anywhere? Sure, a tent is also small inside and goes anywhere, but this is way, way better. If you want to live the van life but also want to go overlanding, this is the rig for you.
Modvans
Similar to the Free Bird camper listed earlier in this roundup, Modvans' creations can be transitioned between full-fledged camper vans and empty, cargo-ready vans. That's because the bulk of the campers' innards can be slid out through the back door when not needed, leaving the van, well, a van. (Hence the Modvans name—they're modular.) There's pretty much a single model in the lineup, the CV1, and it is constructed using a Ford Transit as its base.
American Safari JXL Conversion
American Safari's JXL conversion for the Jeep Wrangler is nacv;wdc—which is to say, "not a camper van; we don't care." It is a camper, although certainly isn't based on a van. But the key bits are there: A living space carved out of the back of a vehicle—in this case, a Wrangler SUV with an additional 15 inches of bodywork grafted on and a built-in pop-up roof tent—and nobody could possibly question the JXL's ability to go camping. Really, the JXL conversion qualifies American Safari's Jeep as an overlanding vehicle. A super burly and incredibly cool one at that.
EarthRoamer LTS
Once again, we're pushing the boundaries of the term "camper van," but how could we not include this insane EarthRoamer LTS? Using a Ford F-550 chassis equipped with four-wheel drive, the LTS is both ruggedly capable and extremely huge. (It's eight feet wide and 29 feet long!) Ford's 6.7-liter diesel V-8 provides motivation, and the lifted suspension affords the rig 12.5 inches of ground clearance. We'd be careful cresting steep rises—the wheelbase is 17 feet long, so it'd be easy to drag this thing's belly chasing a Jeep down a trail—but you can take your time and go the slow route, thanks to the 95 gallons of fuel, 85 gallons of freshwater, 12,000 watt-hour batteries, and 1300-watt solar panel onboard. For more on EarthRoamers, check out the $1.5 million XV-HD.
Bonus: LEGO Volkswagen T1 Camper Van
Want a taste of conversion camper van life but can't afford anything on this list? Maybe give this cool LEGO kit a go! It is priced at an affordable $119.99, is officially licensed by Volkswagen, and should fit almost anywhere. The only hitch? It's about the size of a shoebox, so you can't actually sleep in this VW or camp with it. Also, it requires assembly, but at least that part's fun. #vanlife for life!

Policy + Politics
Labor will dump FTTP NBN policy, says Fifield
Daniel Palmer
news Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield has hit out at Labor's stance on the NBN's underlying technology, saying the opposition party could to be preparing to abandon its position on fibre to the premises (FTTP).
In a statement, Fifield said that, while Labor has been advocating for FTTP, recent public comments by Shadow Minister for Communications Jason Clare seem to be an attempt to "soften up" the public for a change in policy and a shift to using copper.
"Since its time in Opposition, Labor have consistently campaigned against anything other than fibre to the premise, and continually criticised any use of copper," he said.
However, the minister cited comments aired on Sky News' AM Agenda programme on 16 March that he suggested signal Labor's support for fibre to the distribution point (FTTdp), which requires the use of the existing copper network to enter premises.
On the show, Sky's Chief Political Reporter Kieran Gilbert said: "It seems a no brainer to me, listening to your argument this morning that you would adopt Fibre-to-the-Distribution-Point."
To which Clare replied: "I have said that Labor will rollout more fibre. We'll announce our policy closer to the election."
Labor's position now appears more like a "backflip" and in favour of the Coalition's NBN multi-technology policy, which allows the use of FTTdp and 'skinny fibre', Fifield said.
Calling Labor "lazy on NBN policy, and careless with the facts", he added that, since the Coalition took over the project in late 2013, it has connected almost 900,000 users and made the NBN available to over 1.9 million homes and businesses.
Malcolm Turnbull, when still Communications Minister, originally directed the NBN to use a Coalition specified mixed of technologies in April 2014, although a cost-benefit analysis of the model had not yet been completed.
The move followed a 2013 strategic review of the NBN, commissioned by the Abbott government, which had recommended that Labor's fibre-to-the-premises delivery model be abandoned in favour of a mix of technologies, which can be used selectively to achieve better cost benefits in different areas.

Well considering they have already shown to double to cost of FTTP from $44B to now $84B and time to complete from 2021 to 2028 thanks to going backwards in tech and cost blowouts and completion blowouts if the MTM. They don't have much of a choice from the glacial rollout if the MTM to even try and catch up to the rest of the world.
Darren 05/04/2016 at 10:11 am
His bullshit will probably fool some.
A move to FTTdp is not an admission that the MTM is correct, it's eliminating FTTN from the mix using a technology not available when FTTP was rolling out. It achieves what FTTN misses, the ability for customers to cheaply and quickly upgrade to gigabit and beyond speeds. With FTTN upgrading beyond the sub 100Mb speeds requires a complete new rollout.
R0ninX3ph 05/04/2016 at 10:54 am
According to Reality, saying what you just said, makes you a FTTP downgrade to FTTdp Fanboy. Apparently embracing new technologies in the fact of a complete clusterfuck and knowing how screwed up the situation currently is, trying to make the most of it, means you no longer support FTTP…. or something…
His "logic" never makes much sense.
Well, he would wouldn't he. Everything must be spun to meet his twisted world view. People like that go pop one day.
I actually think FTTdp is now a better solution. It wasn't initially as it cost about the same as FTTH. Now it allows for current needs with quick and cheap upgrade on an ad hoc basis as needed. It would also allow small business to develop around providing the upgrades, introducing competition to drive down upgrade costs.
Simples 06/04/2016 at 2:31 pm
Daren is totally an FTTPdtFTTdp Fanboy.. you can see it when he drives in the middle lane of a three-lane highway on Saturdays when his 15 chickens have laid 3 light-brown eggs…. everybody knows that.
Daniel 07/06/2016 at 12:16 pm
They could still go for FTTP, but the expense would be greater than originally estimated considering the Coalition have already spent a lot on the MTM crap.
There would have to be a lot of work just to replace the existing MTM and de-do it with FTTP.
The most cost effective now is to modify the FTTN to FTTdp.
Yes its going from C grade option to B grade.
We can still wish for A Grade FTTP now, but how much expense can be pulled out at this point.
The Coalition literally fucked things up back this round, they won't be forgiven for that.
Rizz 05/04/2016 at 10:16 am
Why doesn't Mitch at least try to improve his own mish-mash retrograde network, instead of simply fluffing up/ignoring all the bad news and then worrying about what the others may or may not do if elected?
Once again it shows the left over mentality from the Abbott era/government, where they seem more at home and comfortable being in opposition and simply opposing/pointing the finger at the others.
Agree Darren, if the government do actually try to improve the current debacle by switching to FttDp, although a positive move in many ways, it's nonetheless a clear admission that FttN simply isn't good enough, gee exactly as we said.
Bruce H 05/04/2016 at 1:22 pm
+1. The Coalition has always been better in opposition.
Hubert Darrendale 05/04/2016 at 6:39 pm
if the government do actually try to improve the current debacle by switching to FttDp, although a positive move in many ways, it's nonetheless a clear admission that FttN simply isn't good enough, gee exactly as we said.
Nailed it +1
To add to this the coalition clowns intentionally made it as difficult as possible to return to the correct FttP roll out for political reasons so the only thing we can safely assume at this stage is that a 93% FttP build wont be possible. Repairing the damage these juvenile vandals have caused will be difficult regardless of the path a future adult government takes.
Its a nice big pile of ironic horsecrap that Fifield makes the claim that Labor is "lazy on NBN policy, and careless with the facts";
Hows that 25Mbit to all by the end of 2016, sooner, faster, quicker, more affordably going there Mitchy boy? Oh right, it was a lazy policy that was completely made up.
Those in glass houses… those in glass houses.
Hows that 25Mbit to all by the end of 2016, sooner, faster, quicker, more affordably going there Mitchy boy?
269 days left btw (tick tock)
Red 05/04/2016 at 11:50 am
Labor is lazy on NBN policy. Hmm… it's truly refreshing to be old enough to recall that until such time as they actually came up with a policy the Liberal policy was "yeah.. umm.. ahh.. erm… look over there!"
The political bastardisation of the NBN has me never wanting to vote for this mob of wankers ever again.
DevMac 05/04/2016 at 1:53 pm
And their environment policy, and their marriage equality (lack of) policy, and their desire to de-regulate the financial advice industry, and their immigration policy, and the way they deal with the ABC, and their hypocrisy about transparency, and numerous other things both boring and plentiful.
Did you not stop voting for them after the Telstra privatisation-without-structural-separation?
Hotcakes 05/04/2016 at 3:30 pm
"the Liberal policy was "yeah.. umm.. ahh.. erm… look over there!""
Absolute tosh. The Liberals instated no less than three wireless policies during the Howard years, each designed to give millions upon millions to SingTel in exchange for literally nothing, thanks to contractual loopholes.
Red 05/04/2016 at 4:41 pm
Are you deliberately ignoring the fact that the OPEL project was rural only?
Absolute tosh? Sure mate. You might be confused with the idea that Telstra build a FTTN network (2005) which resulted in a stoush with the ACCC over third party access provisions. Even then Graeme Samuel rejected the idea as a joke; we have a lot to thank him for.
The Liberal party didn't get it in 2005. Labor almost made the same mistake a few years later. They at least learnt but for some reason the Liberal party are still banging the same old drum over a decade later. It sounded bad then and it sounds worse now.
@DevMac I haven't voted Liberal at either level in a long, long time. Once you take notice of the policies over the politics you soon realise there's not much value in voting Liberal. The NBN was simply the last straw.
FTTN 10 years ago may have been acceptable. Now days, it is lacking for current and future needs.
TuffGuy 05/04/2016 at 1:35 pm
Once upon a time politicians were elected by the people to work for the people. Now we have the Abbott Turnbull governments elected by the retards to lie, cheat and connive their way to a win at the next election, to keep everything as secretive as possible and "who cares about the people"?
What MoFo fails to mention is that his government have made sure there is no way the ALP can return to a full FTTP rollout. They have bought all the HFC with locked in contracts with Foxtel, they bought all the copper and given us the massive remediation bill, many contracts have been locked in that would cost megabucks to get out of, etc, etc. There is nothing the ALP can do even if they wanted unless they are willing to throwing away billions.
They used to call him short term Tony because he could not conceive anything further than 3 years in the future. Then he actually ended up being short term Tony so let us hope we will also see a short term Malcolm.
Holding less faith in the Aussie majority would save you a ton of heartache in the near future.
Derek O 05/04/2016 at 3:40 pm
perhaps they are waking up, ALP lead the LNP 2 party preferred 51/49 across most polls atm. :-)

since the Coalition took over the project in late 2013, it has connected almost 900,000 users and made the NBN available to over 1.9 million homes and businesses.
And every single one connected via Labors plan (apart from a handful on FttN from the "trials"…)
GongGav 05/04/2016 at 5:25 pm
Never ceases to amaze me how many people think otherwise. Its like their boat policy apparently being so successful, when 90% of the drop off (or more) came from policies Labor implemented in July 2013. Which was kinda before the 2013 election.
We Claim Credit should be one of their 3 word slogans.

They came to rest last Friday, after a week stored in a fridge in Nairobi, then another week suspended on a coat hanger in the wardrobe of our London hotel, gently exuding the scent of Christmas.
One of them, as you know, was destined for St James's Palace, home to TRH Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwell. The meeting should have taken place earlier in the week on Tuesday, but it got postponed until Friday, which as it turned out was HRH's birthday. What a happy coincidence then for CC to arrive with a gift.
I imagine everyone who visits royalty must arrive bearing gifts of one sort or another, although perhaps not from so far away, and surely few can have been made with such loving attention. Hopefully the inclusion of a chapter from Love in the Outback, explaining the work that goes into pudding production each year from members of the Royal Flying Doctor Service Broken Hill Women's Auxiliary, might serve to nudge that particular gift closer to the royal kitchen. Who knows? At least I can stop worrying about that pudding now, and the others will soon have homes to go to as well.
So here we are in London, a city that seems to contain more animals than Kenya (most of them roaming Oxford Street or Piccadilly on a Friday and Saturday night).
The Royal Flying Doctor Service gala dinner, organised by the UK Friends of the RFDS, was held at the Imperial War Museum last Thursday night and it raised over £100,000, thanks in no small part to the efforts of auctioneer Jeffrey Archer – yes that Jeffrey Archer – who turned out to be a damn fine auctioneer.
His good-natured banter made people part with a lot of money, and after the auction proper had finished he went around the tables, still holding his microphone.
By the end of his circuit he'd raised enough money to buy two new neonatal incubators and I had tears in my eyes.
Then there were tears of joy as Kate Ceberano sang, The first time ever I saw your face, a silken thread of emotion that poured out of her heart and touched everyone in the room. I didn't have much mascara left by the end of the night.
On that same night hundreds of miles away in Venice, representatives from the African Flying Doctor Service were attending another dinner, to decide this year's winner of the Air Ambulance Operator of the Year Award. As a member of the Board, CC's mind must have been half in England, half in Venice.
AMREF Flying Doctor won the award a couple of years ago, an incredible achievement for a service that deals on a daily basis with conflict zones, cross-border operations, politics and bureaucracy. Gaining flight clearances is cumbersome and clearing customs and immigration extremely challenging. When you add terrorism, tribal clashes, drought, famine and corruption into the equation it must make operating an efficient Air Ambulance Service in Africa a challenging task.
I toured their visitor centre in Nairobi while I was there and it was clear that the AMREF Flying Doctor Service helps some of the poorest people in the world. Just like in Australia, pilots are often forced to land on remote, uncontrolled bush strips after dark, landing with only car headlights at the end of a dirt runway. In the ops room a piece of string attached to a huge map on the wall somehow helped them calculate how long it would take to fly from one area to another, crossing borders, covering vast distances.
And you know what? They did it again. AMREF Flying Doctor was once again declared the 2014 winner of the Air Ambulance Operator of the Year Award. Many congratulations to everyone involved, especially the CEO Bettina and Operations Manager Sean.
I reckon we should send them a pudding!
Thanks Eliza, I have to confess I found it in a charity shop and I paid $15 for it!!
Thank you Barbara, it's been a whirlwind trip and now comes the fun part with family!
Likewise! But he was seriously good!!

In 2010, the song cycle White Nights was nearing its end. The first two albums of the trilogy had been released in 2008 (The Hand Of Tzafkiel) and 2009 (Glowing Lights). Late 2009 the band played live for the first time in nearly a decade, and would continue to do so ever since. 2010 saw them share the bill with two other Nijmegen based acts The Legendary Pink Dots and Beequeen. The concert was recorded and included on LP with 100 boxes released in 2012 to mark the release of Flake Of Eternity, the last album of the White Nights story. Little over 200 copies were pressed of Lux In Wonderland LP which meant we had some records left. These are now available sealed in a generic sleeve with a sticker inspired by the great late 1970s bootleg label TAKRL. Limited to 108 numbered copies.

This cake is so great for summertime because you can easily use up a lot of the ripe fruit in your fridge. Its also easy to whip this recipe up early Friday morning for a Shabbat dessert and then run to the beach!
Whisk oil sugar eggs orange juice vanilla until it becomes creamy. Add baking powder and flour. Place batter on greased pyrex add peaches and blueberries. Bake on 350 for about 1/2 hour. So easy and light. Enjoy.

Exhibition celebrates decade of collecting contemporary art for Alaska museums
Contact: Laura Carpenter (907) 929-9227 lcarpenter@anchoragemuseum.org
Anchorage, AK – In 2003, Alaska's Rasmuson Foundation launched its Art Acquisition Fund to provide grants to museums that collect current work by Alaska artists. In its first ten years, the fund distributed nearly $2 million and helped 33 museums purchase more than 1,000 works by 436 artists.
First Quarter Awards Announced
Contact: Cassandra Stalzer, 907-334-0520
Anchorage – Rasmuson Foundation announced that in the first quarter of 2013 it made 36 Tier 1 awards for a total of $654,761, and renewed support of the Art Acquisition Fund for $285,000. These grants join six Sabbatical Awards announced in January.
News	 December 27, 2012
Foundation Commits $8.5 Million in Arts Funding
Anchorage – The Rasmuson Foundation Board of Directors announced that it will continue targeted support that began almost a decade ago to ensure a diverse and vibrant arts community for Alaska.
Over the next four years, $8.5 million will be available to strengthen cultural institutions across the state, encourage the development of new work by creative artists, and increase public access to and participation in cultural experiences.
Anchorage – In the first quarter of 2012, Rasmuson Foundation made 29 awards totaling $915,215 to Alaska nonprofits, including three sabbatical awards previously announced. A complete list of awards can be found at the end of this release.
Grantseeking Tips	 April 13, 2009
Relationship building with funders
By now you've likely heard that Rasmuson Foundation, like many funders, has significantly reduced its grantmaking for 2009 in light of the recent economic conditions. As announced by President Diane Kaplan, there may be no new Tier 2 awards (over $25,000 strategic and capital requests) made this year and the average size of a Tier 1 award ($25,000 or under capital requests) will be approximately $15,000.
Give us a call before you apply and we'll help you get started!

Seafood Restaurant in St Andrews changes hands
The famous Seafood Restaurant in St Andrews, sitting in one of the most stunning locations in Scotland, is changing hands.
Opened by Tim Butler 13 years ago, the restaurant overlooking the West Sands is being sold so that Tim can concentrate on his other locally based business, the St Andrews Brewing Company.
Tim said that while the sale is the end of an era personally, he is delighted to be passing on the business to a young man who is in a similar position as he was 20 years ago, when his own restaurant journey began in St Monans.
"The new owner will bring his own dynamism and energy to the restaurant and continue to wow locals and visitors to the town.
"The focus will remain on providing the best seafood served in the best location."
Tim said that the restaurant will shut for approximately 2 weeks for a refurbishment, and will be up and running again by mid-March.
"All vouchers, deposits, pre-payments and bookings will, of course, be honoured. You will recognise the same faces as most of the staff will still be here to greet you.
"I would like to thank all of the fantastic staff and partners over the years – with names such as Craig Millar (@ 16 West End, St Monans), Billy Boyter (The Cellar), Scot Davies (Three Chimneys on Skye), Stewart Macauley (The Adamson), Adam Newth (The Tayberry) to name but a few local current chef patrons and head chefs – and of course all the fabulous suppliers who had the patience to work with us.
"Finally, thank you to all of our customers over the years, those who have supported me for 20 years and seen my children grow up, to those who demanded only the best, and therefore kept me and the team striving to improve."
An announcement about the new owners will be made within the next few days.

Adenosine triphosphate activates mitogen-activated protein kinase in human granulosa-luteal cells
C. J. Tai, Keun Kang Sung Keun Kang, C. R. Tzeng, P. C K Leung
ATP has been shown to activate the phospholipase C/diacylglycerol/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway. However, little is known about the downstream signaling events. The present study was designed to examine the effect of ATP on activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and its physiological role in human granulosa-luteal cells. Western blot analysis, using a monoclonal antibody that detected the phosphorylated forms of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and -2 (p42mapk and p44 mapk, respectively), demonstrated that ATP activated MAPK in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Treatment of the cells with suramin (a P2 purinoceptor antagonist), neomycin (a phospholipase C inhibitor), staurosporin (a PKC inhibitor), or PD98059 (an MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor) significantly attenuated the ATP-induced activation of MAPK. In contrast, ATP-induced MAPK activation was not significantly affected by pertussis toxin (a Gi inhibitor). To examine the role of Gs protein, the intracellular cAMP level was determined after treatment with ATP or hCG. No significant elevation of intracellular cAMP was noted after ATP treatment. To determine the role of MAPK in steroidogenesis, human granulosa-luteal cells were treated with ATP, hCG, or ATP plus hCG in the presence or absence of PD98059. RIA revealed that ATP alone did not significantly affect the basal progesterone concentration. However, hCG-induced progesterone production was reduced by ATP treatment. PD98059 reversed the inhibitory effect of ATP on hCG-induced progesterone production. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of ATP-induced activation of the MAPK signaling pathway in the human ovary. These results support the idea that the MAPK signaling pathway is involved in mediating ATP actions in the human ovary.

MK Dons will compete in the Central League South reserve league during the 2017/18 season.
The Central League, the oldest reserve league in England, provides important development opportunities for young players as they seek to progress from youth football into the first-team environment.
Senior Professional Development Phase Coach Edu Rubio will manage the side, who have been invited into the South East division alongside four other clubs – AFC Bournemouth, AFC Wimbledon, Leyton Orient and Southend United.
The Dons will play their South East rivals both home and away. They will also play one game against each of the five teams in the South West division – Bristol Rovers, Cheltenham Town, Forest Green Rovers, Plymouth Argyle, Swindon Town.
A full fixture list and venues for the matches will be confirmed in due course.
Rubio said: "I'm very excited. At MK Dons, we truly believe in the pathway between Academy and the first team and this development squad will definitely help to bridge that gap.
"These boys will now have a chance to play more competitive games which will prepare them for when they step up to the first team. As a result, the gaffer will have players who are ready to play for him at that level and I think it's a win-win for everyone.
"The objective is to help develop the players in a way that when they go into the first team they have a good chance to compete – if Robbie doesn't take any of our players through the season, I haven't done my job.


The HEC Master in Management (Grande Ecole) is one of the most sought-after MiM programs in Europe. Many even consider it to be a great alternative to the MBA, as the program is really extremely comprehensive, offering multiple opportunities for learning and gaining practical experience. In the array of learning options available, the HEC MiM is definitely top notch.
If there is one word that can be used to summarize the entire HEC MiM program, that word will be 'contemporary'. The program has been designed keeping not just traditional options (Marketing, Finance etc.) but also emerging business areas in mind. For example, one can choose in-depth study and exposure across a specific subset of business areas to earn certificates. Available in areas such as Innovation Management, Luxury Strategy, Social Business, and Digital Transformation, these certificates cover emerging areas of business. The HEC Master in Management also includes the option to complete a one-year internship between the two main phases of study, lending a very unique opportunity to learn as one studies and gain real-world experience in the area of one's interest.
Looking for expert MiM Admissions Consulting?
GyanOne has helped more than 200 college seniors to apply to and get accepted to top Masters in Management programs, and other young leader programs such as Yale Silver Scholars, HBS 2+2, and ISB YLP.Contact us today at +91.989.983.1738 or click here to know more.
– The HEC MiM is very collaborative and focuses on diversity. This forms an important theme in your applications as well as your interviews. Traveled abroad? Worked in diverse teams? Won team awards? HEC wants to know, and you should tell them.
– Leadership matters. Quite a few applicants to the HEC MiM are in fact college seniors or recent graduates, so it is not possible to draw out their leadership from professional experience. College initiatives therefore become important.
– Your future matters as much as your past. Unlike MBA programs, MiM programs are more open to applicants seeking to explore career paths without necessarily having a background related to them. Given the fact that HEC offers cutting-edge instruction and learning in its curriculum, it is important that you tell them not just what you have done, but also what you plan to do in the future and why it is important to you.
Meghdut is a college senior from India and a former GyanOne client. Around the time that he began the final year of his studies, he knew he was seeking management education already. Meghdut is an entrepreneur before he is a graduate – he has been running a successful music production venture and is also involved in aspects of managing his family business. Management education for him is a must-have. The MiM programs in Europe are a natural choice, and HEC is naturally top of Meghdut's list.
While applying, Meghdut worked with GyanOne across multiple parameters – refining his stories, deciding on which strengths he should highlights, and on how we could address the one or two perceived weaknesses he had. Meghdut also faced key points of decision – he had many achievements to choose from, and multiple possible career paths ahead, yet he wanted to talk about what inspired him the most. He wanted to focus on why HEC appealed to him on multiple parameters. He wanted to ensure that his achievements could help bring out his true capabilities, not just be seen as occasional spikes. Multiple discussions and rounds of changes later, Meghdut was ready to apply, just before he needed to leave on an international AESEC trip.
Meghdut's focused planning, emphasis on bringing out the right stories, and hard work in exploring multiple angles of his profile to ensure that he was highlighting the right ones helped him gain big success at his MiM applications. Meghdut received admits from the Master in Management programs at HEC, ESCP, and IE. He finally opted for HEC, his first choice when he began. Team GyanOne wishes Meghdut the absolute best as he prepares to join HEC in 2014!
I too cracked the HEC MiM program this year and second your thoughts here.
@Meghdut: Welcome to the party bro!
I am also planning to apply to the HEC MiM this year and am about to take my GMAT next month. Can you please share some details about your profile with me like your GMAT score, acads etc. through mail (I believe you would not be eager to do so online). My mail ID is snehalthehunk@gmail.com.
The HEC Masters in Management is the best program in Europe. I will rate it even better than the LBS program. Very interesting to read this story. I will get in touch with you over my Masters in Management essays soon.
@Rahul: The HEC MiM vs LBS MiM is a comparison that we see being made very often, especially because these are possibly the top two choices for MiM applicants. Both schools have their fans, though.


Home > Blog > Does your Insurance Policy Cover Sinkholes?
The recent heavy and frequent rains have created a couple of headline-making sinkholes in the area. Does the standard ISO HO-3 or DP-3 policy provide coverage if a house falls into a sinkhole? The short answer is "No".
There's an endorsement entitled Sinkhole Collapse (HO 04 99 04 91) that some insurance companies may allow to be attached to a homeowners policy. Note that this endorsement covers sinkhole damage "only when such settlement or collapse results from subterranean voids created by the action of water on limestone or similar rock formations".
This can be an important distinction as some sinkholes are caused by mining and abandoned mines. In such cases, the correct endorsement to use would be Mine Subsidence (HO 23 83 03 01).
Earthquake policies/endorsements would not provide coverage as an earthquake is usually defined as a "seismic event". A sinkhole is not a seismic event.
The Comprehensive coverage under a personal auto policy would provide coverage if a car fell into a sinkhole.
The three Causes of Loss forms for Commercial property policies do provide sinkhole coverage. Mine Subsidence is not covered, but endorsement IL 09 03 07 02 may be available to add the coverage. Business owners policies appear to provide coverage for sinkholes but not Mine Subsidence.
As with all insurance questions, however, you must read your own policy to determine your coverage!
