Josh Farro may be widely recognised as one of the original members of Paramore, but the new offerings from his latest project Farro are leagues away from his pop-punk past. Latest album Walkways is more akin to the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and Death Cab For Cutie than his past guise, and tonight he is showcasing that at Mama Roux's in Birmingham with his new band.
Greywind opened the evening with a darkly beautiful acoustic set which sent shivers down my spine. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the band; they are sister and brother Steph and Paul O'Sullivan from Ireland, who have been hotly tipped for a bright future. With their performance tonight, I can certainly see why they have already been predicted to do well when their debut album is released in January; they have some truly stunning songs including Circle, Afterthoughts and Safe Haven. Paul is a talented guitarist and Steph has some of the most beautifully haunting yet powerful vocals, which all in all makes for a magical performance.
New Forest quartet Natives offered a sun kissed second performance of the evening, as they reminded me of the summer time with their Tribal influenced indie-pop. Tonight their set largely consisted of newer material, which seemed like quite a development in style from the songs that they were playing the last time that I saw them, at 2000 Trees in 2014. Catchy choruses, grooves and added drums, percussion and synths seem to have given the band the perfect feel-good factor to their music; which is definitely apparent in tracks such as Stop The Rain and my personal favourite, Chasing Lions. I expect to see them on festival stages nationwide in Summer 2017.
Headliners Farro took to the stage lit only by ambient patterns and videos from a projector which was was wonderfully atmospheric, but the darkness did make it rather difficult for any photographers who were shooting the show. Showcasing their new brand of Americana infused indie, we were treated to a set largely taken from new album Walkways; including tracks such as On A Wire, Color Rush, Dear Love and Cliffs. There were also a couple of particularly strong cover versions of Fleet Foxes' White Winter Hymnal and Coldplay's Charlie Brown.
Most of the songs were joyous and uplifting, but my favourite moments were actually when the band took it down a notch or two for some delicate moments. During Home, Josh was accompanied on stage by two of his band mates to perform it acoustically, and there was a beautiful calm and quietness that descended over the audience while that happened, which made it seem even more intimate. Another highlight came during the emotional performance of Lose You; which seemed extremely honest and heartfelt.
Although Farro is still very much in their early stages, with only one album release under their belt; they are already stronger than many other artists that have been together for much longer, and I can already see the potential that this band could become an enormous success. Well crafted songs, strong musicianship (in particular from front man Josh and their outstanding drummer Tyler Lydell) and a tight performance all worked hand in hand to offer one of the best shows that I've seen in ages; so I expect to see a lot more about Farro in 2017.


Premium Forecast for Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Global Market 2023!!
Circulating fluidized bed combustion market is a highly effective way to generate electricity efficiently while keeping the emissions under control. Combustion takes place inside a boiler over a bed of inert material, usually a mixture of fuel, air, and a sorbent such as limestone. During the process, primary air is introduced at a high pressure from the bottom of the boiler that raises the particles and keeps them suspended. This makes the bed attain a liquid-like state. Circulating fluidized bed boilers are an alternative to pulverized coal combustion technology and are more efficient. They offer greater flexibility to burn a wide range of fuels.
Global Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Embraer Develops Cargo Transportation Solutions for Commercial Aircraft
With the significant decline in the number of airline passengers and the booming demand for air cargo capacity, Embraer has developed cargo transportation solutions for its line of commercial aircraft. With fewer commercial flights, which carry both passengers and freight, there's a critical need for more cargo space.
"Embraer's engineers rose to the challenge when our customers asked them if they could find a way for their Embraer aircraft to carry more cargo payload," explained Johann Bordais, President & CEO, Embraer Services & Support. "Today, customers can choose from a portfolio of solutions to carry cargo in the cabins of their EMB 120s, ERJ 145s, and E-Jets."
ANAC, Brazil's civil aviation regulatory authority, has granted an exemption for the carriage of additional freight on Embraer passenger aircraft. Embraer published Technical Dispositions for the ERJ 145 and E-Jets families of commercial jets, including the E-Jets E2s, which explain how to accommodate cabin freight. A Service Bulletin is available for the EMB 120.
ERJ 145
In addition to placing small packages in overhead bins and stowage compartments, cargo items can be placed on each seat, subject to certain restrictions. The payload capacity is significant. For example, a fully loaded 96-seat E190 can carry 6,720 lb (3 metric tonnes) of cabin freight in addition to under floor cargo. A 118-seat E195 can carry 8,260 lb (3.75 metric tonnes).
Customers can opt for a floor-mounted freight configuration if their cargo cannot fit on passenger seats. This solution permits the removal of up to 70% of the passenger seats, with the remaining areas accommodating for items on the cabin floor. Freight must be contained in approved netting that attaches to the inboard and outboard seat tracks. This solution has already been developed for a first-generation E195 jet for Azul Cargo, in Brazil.
Cabin payload capacity for the ERJ145 is up to 1,750 lb (0.8 metric tonnes) and up to 5,194 lb (2.36 metric tons) for the E190-E2. For customers needing even more capacity, Embraer may offer a Service Bulletin for full cargo configurations, as has been done for the EMB 120. These layouts give operators the flexibility to carry larger floor-mounted freight items in the cabin.

Melody Trice, native of Century, Florida, recently had an opportunity to share her story. She spoke on a lot of things that were dear to her. One being, she was taught to speak her mind and not allow anything to hold her back. She says her upbringing taught her the importance of loving oneself and not allowing others opinions to write your life story. It was important to Melody to respect others and know that their truth may not be her's and that's ok. We learned that while Melody was growing up she was told by some of her teachers, and her peers that she'll never be nothing. A heartbreaking revelation Melody added to the story saying, she had one teacher that believed in her and that whatever she set her mind to, she would succeed. This was the fuel she needed. Her life was forever changed. She further stated, "Growing up I wanted to be a brain surgeon, or do hair, and after watching ER on television, beautician it was." She has such a strong sense of humor with an overwhelming sense of conviction. She says she still laughs because she still ended up working on the head, doing their hair and also being a much needed friend to her customers. We quickly realized her life had many layers that were unfolding before us. Melody soon stated the reason she left all she knew and came to California. Claiming a strong sense of faith and being led by that faith to relocate. A scary journey that seems to be offering pleasing results.
Melody's dreams now became her reality, she is now an international model, a tv host and a speaker inspiring others to live their lives unlimited. Dreams that many would say were not possible but she managed to make them reality. Having her faith and a small voice inside of her, encouraging her to keep going. The same traits that would cause her so much pain as a child now gives her and those who follow her a strong sense of joy. We could not help but be amazed at her story. Only one word could describe the emotions in the room "Wow". Melody elaborated on how children would pick on her stating she was ugly. Now the very same people wait on her to upload pictures amazed at her beauty. Her philosophy and capacity to turn negatives within her life to strength and passion is something we can all aspire to. So now we all can encourage others by living our dreams. And, no one is more living proof of that in our minds than Melody Trice.
We asked Melody how she started and her response was, "How, I just did it" She said," My talk show shares others' life stories to empower the audience. My modeling inspires the young girls who look like me that they are beautiful enough to walk a runway. Encourage women over 40 that you are never too old to model. Lifts up the women with curves that are beautiful in the skin you are in. That's why I do what I do, to show the world that life really is unlimited when we take the limitations off ourselves." We absolutely fell in love with her.
We know life has not been obstacle free, so we ask, so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road? Melody's response was "No, it hasn't always been smooth. One thing that caused probably a lot of sets back, was holding on to the old mindset. But, I had these thoughts that every area works the same way. Absolutely wrong, big culture shock when I moved to California. I had this ideal that everyone was going to be nice and have my best interest. Especially since I was going to be living in LA, the melting pot capital. I soon realized that I had to adapt to my surroundings but not become my surroundings. Be confident in me and stand out, changing my mindset. What a perfect response.
As Melody knows, we're big fans of her and her work. We ask her for the readers who might not be as familiar, what can you tell them about what you do? Melody said, "I inspire and motivate others through sharing my life experience. To enrich them to become the best version of themselves. Whether or not it's being a television personality, modeling, or speaking on a platform, it all goes back to enriching others, empowering them to be the best version of themselves." She mentioned to us how sharing her story or others stories gives her the fulfillment that she's changing the world for the better, one mindset at a time. Her powerful response made us even more eager to follow her journey.

Yes, from the last two posts several things became clear enough... It's so nice to have people like @SoftwareMarcus who understand that product management is not vote counting alone. Thanks @SoftwareMarcus !
@tmsbn: This is not a feature - it's called good design. And the lack of this "feature" is called bad design or a bug, depending on the original intent. This is why I'm a little confused by @JMichaelTX's suggestion for voting. Voting for good design?!?

Contrary to popular belief, it's not impossible or even difficult to be a vegetarian in Mexico (especially if you follow these tips and tricks). I've been living in Mexico and traveling throughout the country for three years now, and living two decades as a vegetarian, so I wasn't too worried about finding food on my trip to Merida with three girlfriends.
Still, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to balance different dietary needs and culinary desires on a group trip, especially as the solo vegetarian. I always try to do research in advance to come up with a variety of vegetarian-friendly yet omnivore-approved restaurants whenever I'm not traveling solo, and couldn't find much on the web about Merida's vegetarian offerings.
Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Merida offers a wide variety of vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants throughout the city at a range of price points and styles. Aside from one or two flops, most restaurants and stalls could whip up a tasty vegetarian meal, no problem, though some were more delicious than others.
These top 10 (plus one cantina!) are just my absolute favorites for vegetarian food in Merida: let me know what you think! They're all vegetarian AND omnivore-approved.
Provecho, my vegetarian friends, and the omnivores who love us <3 !
My favorite restaurant of the trip; I even had the huitlacoche tacos twice. Don't miss 2 for 1 drinks from 5-9pm (only at the bar, where you can also eat).
This cute spot has a chef from Israel and an extensive menu of Israeli, Mexican, and Mex/Israeli options. The shakshuka was awesome and they've got the best pita I've had outside of Israel. It seems like the ONLY place open this early for breakfast around Centro.
Lots of options and quite inexpensive. If you plan on sitting in the garden, be sure to wear bug spray.
The veggie-filled eggs were perfect for breakfast, and I appreciated the free cold water, really cute atmosphere, and strong wifi. The latte I ordered was perfect: great coffee and a variety of milk alternatives (I went with the house-made almond). They've got a ton of vegetarian and vegan breakfast and lunch options, and run a set-menu lunch special for 60 pesos.
Note: Organico Cafe is NOT the same as Cafe Organico.
Hotel Mansion Merida is THE place to put on your Sunday best and enjoy a fancy schmancy brunch. For whatever reason, the indoor courtyard was empty when we had breakfast, so we also had our own little impromptu photo shoot.
Yes, Chaya Maya is a bit touristy and put-on (like the dressed-up waitresses), but it's a tourist favorite for a reason: there's a huge menu (including tons of vegetarian options) and each dish is reliably delicious. Get the signature Chaya drink!
Tacos start at just 13 pesos each! The ingredients are fresh and filling, and there are quite a few vegetarian options.
There are a couple Casa de Mi Tias in Merida. The one I recommend doesn't have a website (currently). It's a cute place with second-story viewing for the perfect perspective of the main square.
A variety of ceviche choices, including vegetarian. Be sure to double check which of the appetizers are vegetarian even if you order a vegetarian entree (don't just say vegetarian: ask if there is "pescado" or "marisco" in it).
Fresh and flavorful food that even non-vegans will love!
Very inexpensive with regular 2 for 1 deals (when we were there it was 2 for 1 margaritas). The musical acts tend to be SO LOUD, so try to get a table away from the stage or, better yet, in the courtyard (but slather on that bug spray). Avoid the burgers and stick with Mexican fare – the veggie burger takes the cake as the worst meal of my life.


We moms, here at Moms Creating Financial Freedom are in the education business. We educate other moms about consumer trends, keeping current with the simplest and most effective way of doing business. We pride ourselves on supporting US products while showing families like yours how to bring your money back home!
You might ask what kind of trends are we talking about?
Let us start by pointing out that the past 20 years our traditional ways of doing business have certainly changed! Technology has started to take over our traditional way of doing business. The recent Bankruptcy of the City of Detroit is a significant sign of the end of the industrial economy as we know it.
One of the trends we are speaking of is the NEW Connection Economy. This type of economy is based on technology, simplicity, convenience and social connection to drive business. A great example of this is Netflix, who are one of the first companies that challenged the Status Quo Company Blockbuster. We are referring to companies like Tesla, the new electric car company with NO Dealership, No sales people, NO problem. They are challenging GM and Ford and are now the top selling car of 2014! There are several other examples like Instagram, Polaroid or Kodak are obsolete; Amazon has become the second largest retailer in the WORLD behind Wal-Mart. Have you EVER seen an Amazon store?
As moms, typically we are the head consumers in our households, and we need to stay current and up on consumer trends!
Moms Creating Financial Freedom is partnered with a New Connection Economy Solutions Company, who happen to be a 1.2 Billion dollar company of 29 years. We challenge the status quo Companies like P&G, J&J and Pfiser. We compete for market share and have exceptional continual growth, month after month year after year!
We ask that you step a little closer and take a good look at what we are doing to help other moms move with the trends, while saving time, money while making an income that will last a life time!!!

This work examines the individuals on social media that are posting questionable health-related information, and in particular promoting cancer treatments which have been shown to be ineffective (making it a kind of misinformation, willful or not). Using a multi-stage user selection process, we study 4,212 Twitter users who have posted about one of 139 such "treatments", and compare them to a baseline of users generally interested in cancer. Considering features capturing user attributes, writing style, and sentiment, we build a classifier to identify users prone to propagate such misinformation, providing a potential tool for public health officials to identify such individuals for preventive intervention.
We examine 1.5 million tweets mentioning obesity and diabetes in order to assess (1) the quality of information circulating in this conversation, as well as (2) the behavior and information needs of the users engaged in it. The analysis of top cited domains shows a strong presence of health information sources which are not affiliated with a governmental or academic institution. On the user side, we estimate over a quarter of non-informational obesity discourse to contain fat-shaming. We also find a great diversity in questions asked in these datasets, spanning definition of obesity as a disease, social norms, and governmental policies.
We use the Facebook Marketing API to correlate estimated sizes of audiences having health-related interests with public health data. Using several study cases, we identify both potential benefits and challenges in using this tool. We introduce the use of placebo interest estimates to control for background level of user activity on the platform. Some Facebook interests such as plus-size clothing show encouraging levels of correlation (r=.74) across the 50 US states; however, we also sometimes find substantial correlations with the placebo interests such as r=.68 between interest in Technology and Obesity prevalence.
Halal is a religious term, a cultural staple, and huge market. Here, we investigate the meaning of halal in three global communities speaking Arabic, Bahasa Indonesian, and English. All three have a unique perception of this concept, identifying it more with trade, food, or cosmetics. Showing a complicated relationship with both religious and governmental authority, the concept of halal has its own life on the social media, redefining its traditional and market space.
Misinformation and rumors in the health domain may not only cause inconvenience, but may increase medical care costs and even lead to the loss of life. Here, we build a pipeline for tracking Zika misinformation during the first half of 2016 when its incidence spiked in South America, incorporating crowdsourcing with machine learning.
In this series of studies we explore the use of demographically rich Facebook Ads audience estimates for tracking non-communicable diseases around the world, and especially in the Middle East. We compute the audiences of health "marker" interests, and evaluate their potential in tracking health conditions associated with lifestyle-related health conditions associated with tobacco use, obesity, and diabetes, as well as compare these to the performance of "placebo" interests.
The American Voter – a seminal work in political science – uncovered the multifaceted nature of voting behavior which has been corroborated in electoral research for decades since. In this work, we leverage The American Voter as an analysis framework in the realm of computational political science, employing the factors of party, personality, and policy to structure the analysis of public discourse on online social media.
A large-scale study of recipes published on the Web and their content. Using a database of more than 157K recipes from over 200 different cuisines, we analyze ingredients, flavors, and nutritional values which distinguish dishes from different regions, and use this knowledge to assess the predictability of recipes from different cuisines. We then use country health statistics to understand the relation between these factors and health indicators of different nations, such as obesity, diabetes, migration, and health expenditure.
We ask whether the stances on the issue of freedom of speech can be modeled using established sociological theories, including Huntington's culturalist Clash of Civilizations, and those taking into consideration social context, including Density and Interdependence theories. At an individual level, we find social context to play a significant role, with non-Arabs living in Arab countries using #JeSuisAhmed ("I am Ahmed") five times more often when they are embedded in a mixed Arab/non-Arab (mention) network.
We explore the meaning of "privacy" from the perspective of Qatari nationals as it manifests in digital environments. Our mixed-methods analysis of 18K Twitter posts that mention "privacy" focuses on the online and offline contexts in which privacy is mentioned, and how those contexts lead to varied ideologies regarding privacy.
Is it feasible to use profile pictures to infer a user's health, such as weight? We show that this is indeed possible and further show that the fraction of labeled-as-overweight users is higher in U.S. counties with higher obesity rates. As obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and even cancer are on the rise, this obese-or-not label could be one of the most useful for studies in public health.
How is food redefined in social media? Does food fetishizing via a plethora of images shifting our understanding of food? Our international study of #foodporn hashtag on Instagram shows the obsession with chocolate and sweets, but also reveals a tendency of the communities to like and comment more on healthier content, suggesting a new avenue for healthy lifestyle interventions.
Using a near-complete dataset of Instagram checkins in Qatar, we examine the behavior of Arabic- and English-speaking populations. We find behavior changes around major religious holidays, including Ramadan, which affects the dietary patterns of this highly diverse country.
Using millions of Instagram posts in locations all over US, we examine the social media signals surrounding obesity. Our analysis reveals a relationship between small businesses and local foods with better dietary health, yet a tendency of social media users to reinforce unhealthy dietary habits through likes and comments, with donuts and cupcakes being the most "liked" foods.
This book surveys how to use Twitter data to study human behavior and social interaction on a global scale. It is a reference for behavioral and social scientists who want to explore the use of online data in their research, and for non-professionals that follow the social impact of new technologies.
Long-tail content -- news stories, music, even people -- may need a little more help in order for people to notice them. We combine the notions of serendipity and explainability to build "bridges" between content and users, utilizing high-quality knowledge bases as well as users' interests profiles, as estimated using their social media presence.
Using lexical resources, such as those on sentiment and bias, we explore the use of emotional language around controversial topics by mainstream news agencies. Our aim is to eventually detect these controversial topics and to automatically find the sides of the discussion.
Using online check-ins and posts related to food, we track diet-related diseases like obesity and diabetes, and relate the perceptions of food to the demographics of the individuals. Social media also gives us an opportunity to explore the relationship between social connections and dietary habits -- indeed, there seem to be a connection between your social-media-detected diet and that of your friends.
As a part of the LiMoSINe EU project, we are building search engines based on semantics found in large document collections. These semantics include entities, sentiment expressed about them, the quality of writing about them, their topical categorization, and, of course, the relationships between these entities. Our faceted search prototype allows the user to explore the web of entities, adjusting the data views along various metadata attributes.
We analyze a two-month anonymized email log from several perspectives motivated by past studies on charitable giving: (i) demographics, (ii) user interest, (iii) external time-related factors and (iv) social network influence. We show that email captures the demographic peculiarities of different interest groups, for instance, predicting demographic distributions found in the US 2012 Presidential Election exit polls. We show the importance of the social connection in predicting whether an individual donates, showing that, although annoying to the most of us, email campaigns can be effective.
In this study we show that the international Twitter communication landscape is not only still largely predetermined by physical distance, but that it also depends on countries' social, economic, and cultural attributes. This communication, as measured using @mentions, is correlated (r = 0.68) with the Gravity Model, which hypothesizes that the flow between two areas is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them. Our final model, which takes into consideration income, trade share, migration, language, and Hofstede's cultural variables, achieves an Adjusted R2 of 0.80.
Understanding the nature of political discourse on social media allows us to gauge the motivations of its constituent voices and representativeness of its message. A thorough evaluation of sentiment classification algorithms applied to political writings shows this to be a non-trivial task.
How important is it for an organization to keep track of the content it generates? Turns out very much so. We track content reuse across a collection of slideshow presentations, modeling the flow of information within the organization. Our ethnographic survey and interviewing effort resulted in a set of guidelines for a content management system that supports modular content search, team management, and provenance tracking.
Large-scale analysis of social media such as blogs allows us a glimpse into the mind of a large segment of Earth's population. This record of people's thoughts can be leveraged to track significant events and discussion about them. Using Viet Ha-Thuc's new topic modeling approach we were able to track major news events over a period of time.

Doors are an important part of any home. Their function is to let people into a home, while keeping the elements out. With energy prices what they are today, their importance is even greater. Beauty, function and longevity are all important components of today's windows and doors. John's Lumber offers exterior doors to fit every budget in just about any look imaginable.
Our door specialists will guide you through the process, from start to finish. Whether it is for replacement, building an addition, building a new home, commercial applications or service on your existing doors, we can handle it.
Improving energy efficiency with ENERGY STAR is also an important first step in the growing trend of "green remodeling." That's because the energy we use in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. So, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate. Energy efficient windows and doors will reduce your energy costs, saving you money AND you'll be taking care of the environment.
Your entry door is your homes first impression, and speaks to your sense of style as well as providing functional value. John's Lumber offers a wide selection of fiberglass, steel, wood, and storm doors from some of the industry's most recognizable manufacturers, including Therma-Tru, Milliken, and Masonite. Choosing an entry door is not an easy decision, but John's Lumber can help make the process smooth, and help you choose a door that you'll love for years to come.
Few things can change the look and feel of the inside of your home like interior doors can. With the huge variety of choices available, choosing the right doors can be a challenging task. John's Lumber can help you find the perfect door, whether it's glass, wood, or moulded panel. Our experienced staff know the ins and outs of the industry, and can answer any questions you might have, as well as find the right door for you. Stop in and see one of our showrooms, and contact us with any questions.
Patio doors are more than just a way to get into the yard. They offer natural light, protection from the elements, and security. These days, there are dozens of options for everything, and patio doors are no exception. From folding, swinging, or sliding, we offer a wide selection of patio doors, in several different styles and materials. John's Lumber can point you in the right direction when it comes to selecting a new patio door, that does exactly what you need it to do, and look good doing it.
Time to replace: How do you know when it's time to replace your entry door? If your door isn't warped or rotting then it can be difficult to tell if you need a new one. The main thing to check is if there is a draft entering through the door, and if that is the case, it may be time to consider a new door. A door that lets in a draft is not efficient for your heat/air and is losing you money in the long run.
Storm Doors: An often overlooked part of purchasing a door is the storm door. Not only does a storm door protect your entry door from the elements, it is another layer of insulation keeping your heat or air inside. On top of that, it allows you to open up your home on those beautiful summer days, while still being able to keep out the elements.
Door Hardware: Don't need to replace your door? Upgrade the hardware. Door knobs, locks, and windows can all be changed and upgraded without having to purchase a new door, and can drastically improve the look your door gives off.
Don't forget the Patio: Your patio door has the same purpose that your entry door has, and an inefficient patio door can cost you more than you think in the long run. Make sure you know that your patio door isn't warped, rotted, or letting in a draft. If one or more of those things is prevalent, it's time to replace the door. The upfront cost may seem like a lot, but it's worth it in the long run.

WHAT IS MAKING THE HEADLINES?
FOYLESIDE BRING BACK 'SILENT SANTA' VISITS FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM
By Samantha livingstone_sam
Public Relations,Retail
The highly-anticipated 'Silent Santa' initiative has returned to Foyleside Shopping Centre, enabling children with particular needs to visit Father Christmas in the comfort of a quiet environment.
On Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm – which is the Centre's staple Quiet Shopping Night of the week – families with a child who has autism or sensory difficulties can visit Santa with the Centre's background music turned off and tannoy announcements kept to a minimum.
The Silent Santa initiative was introduced to make the experience of visiting Saint Nick inclusive and accessible to children who may potentially become anxious in the face of excessive noise, queues or crowding during busy periods.
Centre Manager of Foyleside, Fergal Rafferty, said the service has had a positive impact on visiting families in previous years.
"Our Silent Santa initiative proved to be extremely beneficial and well-received last year by parents and children, so we felt it was important to ensure this returned to Foyleside to create an entirely inclusive Centre for those who want to enjoy Santa the same way others can, but in a calm and considered way.
"At Foyleside, we have made a number of significant changes to support those with additional needs in the last 12 months, including our new Sensory Room, which features fibre optics, bubble tubes and customisable sound and light levels to help remove anxiety and distress. We have worked very closely with Autism NI to become more autism friendly and our staff have also been provided with specific training – so we really are making great improvements to make the Centre as accessible as possible."
Silent Santa will run every Wednesday evening until 11th December. Quiet Shopping Nights are every Wednesday 6-8pm.

EXTRA CARE LAUNCHES NEW STRATEGY TO ENHANCE THE FUTURE OF THE CHARITY
Health,Public Relations
Extra Care, Northern Ireland's longest established domiciliary care charity is set to launch its three-year Strategic Plan, 'Finding Our Way', at a VIP event in Stormont this week.
Despite recent challenges within the Social Care sector in Northern Ireland, Extra Care has taken a heads-on approach to move the charity forward and embrace ambitious opportunities in the future. After undertaking in-depth consultations in 2018 with staff and service users, it was identified that a three-year Strategic Plan would place the charity in a stronger position to continue providing the best possible care for service users, whilst maintaining a positive staff support and training system.
The 'Finding Our Way' Strategy will signpost how Extra Care delivers its services, connects with communities, develops partnerships and celebrate its staff and service users in the future, through the Charity's Purpose, Vision and Values.
In the past year, Extra Care has welcomed significant changes to include an investment in excess of £190,000 creating 28 new jobs, as well as the opening of three new support hubs in Belfast, Carrickfergus and Cookstown.
Brian Hutchinson, CEO of Extra Care said, "We are delighted to announce the launch of our Strategy 2019 – 2022. We believe this forward-thinking plan will allow us to continually provide the best Person-Centred care, whilst strengthening our links within the community. It is also an opportunity to broaden and strengthen staff training as well as provide career support to enable growth within Extra Care."
Brian adds, "The launch is a chance for like-minded people from across the Health and Social Care Trusts, local politicians and elderly care charities to familiarise themselves with the positive work we do and establish new collaborative relationships going forward. We are privileged to have just welcomed our new Chair, Dame Joan Harbison and the Board is optimistic for the future of our organisation."
Extra Care was established in 1935, providing health and social care services in Northern Ireland, operating across four of the Trust areas. Currently the organisation employs over 300 staff, committed to providing service users with the support they need to maintain living in their home their way.

Chef/restaurateur Angus An of Kitsilano's multiple award-winning Maenam restaurant is opening a new counter-service eatery called Longtail Kitchen in New Westminster's popular River Market. An, you might recall, trained at New York's French Culinary Institute and worked in such famed kitchens as Jo-Jo, The Ledbury, The Fat Duck, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Nahm before opening Maenam in 2009. He's one of Vancouver's top culinary stars. His new joint is named after Thailand's ubiquitous, iconic, and often turbo-charged "longtail" water taxis) — a cool name that fits that address' Fraser River waterfront location and Thai theme.
The 25 seat, 880 sqft Longtail will focus on sea-centric Thai street food. "Quick and easy Thai fisherman comfort food", is how An likens it, adding that there "will be noodle dishes, fish stews and fish curries, with price points ranging from $8 to $12." Sadly, there will be no liquor license to start off with, but the application is under way. They'll also be trying for a sectioned-off patio (which would work beautifully with garage door frontage), but if you've ever been to the River Market, you already know how easy it is to take your meal outside and sit just about anywhere (the gull population mercifully appears to be about 1/50th that of Granville Island market).
Longtail Kitchen is another big "get" for River Market (already home to Wild Rice, Re-Up, Wally's Burger, La Grotto del Formaggio, among other food fetishist faves). Opening day is scheduled for early May, 2013.
Follow things as they progress on Twitter via twitter.com/rivermrkt and twitter.com/longtailkitchen.
Is the arrow pointing to the Fathom Seafood spot? It was a shame that it closed, but I guess most New West folks head to the all you can eat joints.
Thanks for stereotyping the New West diners as trough feeders. In fact, the spot was briefly occupied by the Crab Shop (of North Van) fame for fish and chips and seafood. For some reason, they quickly decided to close that location, and I think Re-Up BBQ, who have the spot next door, took over the fish and chips business for awhile as "Fathom." It's right next to the boardwalk, so you can see why a fish and chips business would have been a natural. Anyway, I am very glad to see another great Vancouver chef come on out to New West – we've got a wonderful scene emerging here. Will definitely be looking forward to the opening of this place.
I live in New West. I hope it works as I really enjoy Maenam. It will take some push to get the surrounding neighbourhood to open their arms and wallets past the paddle-wheeler. My advice? Big portions and cheap beer.
So excited to read about this!!! We live in new west (having moved from downtown vancouver, as we see the potential new west has), anyways, we'll definitely be 1st in line when this place opens. New West needs more cultural restaurants/funky spots to check out so we don't have to take the skytrain into town for a good casual meal. Thanks for the article!

Anyone who has ever worked with an overbearing self-promoter knows there is a big difference between a show-off and a superstar. Downplaying your skill set won't do much for your reputation, either. The key to shining in the office is to find a balance.
Outrageous Boss Requests: Where Do You Draw the Line?
File papers: check. Develop marketing plan: check. Get baby from doctor and drop off prescription medication at pharmacy...check? Everyone needs additional help from time to time, including your boss. But how much is too much when it comes to asking a favor from an employee?
As we sit across the interview table from you folks who don't remember life before Wikipedia, we are often confused and frustrated by some of your behavior.
What may be appreciated by one employee as an authentic gesture to connect may be rebuked by another. The golden rule when it comes to touching an employee is "hands off.
Hugging and touching someone, especially in a business setting, can oftentimes be misconstrued and lead to controversy or confusion. Before you go in for the big hug, consider the following seven tips.
There are no guarantees that you will keep your current job indefinitely. Being prepared with an exit strategy, even if you're not actively looking, will be one less thing you have to worry about in the event you find yourself suddenly without a job.
I just don't care what people think. And usually I don't. But being repeatedly questioned, being made to feel like my life choices and my interests -- the ones that make me happy and content -- were wrong and somehow inadequate, was like a hard blow to the chest.
If you find yourself peppering your language with profanity at work, it's time to clean up your act. A recent survey by CareerBuilder found that 81 percent of employers have doubts about the professionalism of those who curse at work.
The way people handle themselves behind the wheel of a car can say a lot about how they conduct themselves in business. Our driving behaviors often reflect not only how we approach life, but also how we deal with others on a day-to-day basis.
It's not a matter of "if" you will make a mistake at work, it's only a question of "when," and how you handle the blunder says a great deal about your character and good judgment.
An email has to make an immediate impact to stand out among the dozens (or even hundreds) of messages a busy executive is bombarded with each day.
Whether you are an occasional or chronic complainer, you can boost the productivity of your team by making fewer petty complaints in the workplace.
In a 2010 survey by staffing service OfficeTeam, 44 percent of American workers identified making messes for others to clean up as the most annoying behavior in company break rooms.
Despite our digital world, the simple business card is still an essential tool in connecting with others. To get the most out of your business card supply, you have to know how to use it to your advantage.
One additional tip: leave the "TO" field blank until you are ready to send, so you don't accidentally launch the email before you are ready.
Your first few days set a precedence on what others can expect from you as a coworker and employee. Here are seven ways to make the most of your first week on the job.
If you are sensitive to noise and find it unsettling, employ your ear buds or headset to stream your favorite music. Though you are still in a shared space, music will offer a quiet retreat.
"They're looking to see how you conduct yourself, how you eat, what you drink -- all of it. Your interview begins way before you think it does."
With flu season in high gear, here are a few commonly asked questions for those in the corporate environment.
A great resume and strong GPA are not enough to land a job offer. In today's business environment you must be able to demonstrate your knowledge of appropriate behavior during the job search process.


On Thursday, March 07, 2019 at an impressive ceremony in Lagos, leading Nigerian financial institution First City Monument Bank (FCMB) unveiled #SheVentures, its brand-new proposition to support the growth of businesses owned or managed by women. The event, which was part of the Bank's activities to celebrate this year's International Women's Day with the theme "Balance for Better" provided the right opportunity to highlight how FCMB is helping women close the gaps in the world of business.
Mentorship– through a network of qualified mentors carefully selected by FCMB, #SheVentures offers Nigerian business women access to guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modelling for a successful career.
Capacity building and training – The Bank has also partnered with consultants in various fields of business to provide key professional services at discounted rates to its women in business customers. Not forgetting exclusive business training events which FCMB either directly organizes or in partnership with other leading organizations.
Access to loans at zero (yes, zero!) or competitive interest rates – through its flagship zero percent loan product, FCMB offers short-term loans to female customers who need quick access to funds. At the #SheVentures launch event alone, about 40 female SMEs were awarded loans of between N500,000 to N5,000,000 at zero percent interest. In addition, there are other loans such as the FCMB BOI Gender Loan, which comes at 15% interest.

If there's a need to illuminate a remote location, there are a variety of sun power lighting options that can help. While some may require full solar power systems to replace the need for grid access, lighting options alone can also provide some creature comforts.
Solar lighting products are typically self-contained units that provide lighting in outdoor areas without the need for an electrical plug in. These systems are ready-made, which means users don't have to hire engineers or contractors to get the job done right.
Solar lamp post lights – These are outdoor lighting options that have their own solar energy collectors built right in. During the day, they draw in energy from the sun so they can light up the night with reliability.
Solar accent lights – An accent light is a smaller illumination source that is typically placed in a garden or along the perimeter of a home. In remote locations, these lights can provide welcoming illumination without the need for grid or generator power.
Security lights – Solar shed lights and solar security lighting can offer more illumination for outdoor areas. These lights, like standard flood lights, provide a great deal of illumination for people to see by.
While solar lighting alone will not power a home or working site fully, these designs can be used in conjunction with other solar power products. When the options combine a lack of grid access can easily be overcome even in the most remote of locations.

Safeguard Mechanism briefing paper
Strengthening the Safeguard Mechanism: improving proposed policy settings
Australia cannot meet our legislated emissions reduction targets and make real progress on tackling harmful climate change if we do not get the Safeguard Mechanism right.
If polluters within the Safeguard Mechanism don't pull their weight, every other part of our economy and community will have to do more – families and businesses alike.
Australia needs to cut our emissions by far more than 43% to avoid the worst impacts of harmful climate change. How we set up the Safeguard Mechanism will determine whether this target ends up being a floor or a ceiling.This briefing note has been developed in response to the Australian Government's Safeguard Mechanism Reforms Position Paper. There are two key areas in which these proposed settings should be strengthened to ensure the Safeguard Mechanism drives the deep and genuine reduction in industrial emissions Australia needs now to tackle harmful climate change.
download the full briefing paper here
Key issue #1 – The Safeguard Mechanism must achieve genuine emissions reduction
Facilities regulated by the Safeguard Mechanism are currently required to purchase and surrender Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) if they exceed their emissions baseline. The government is establishing a second set of credits to operate alongside ACCUs in accounting for harmful emissions, called Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs). The government's Position Paper proposes that facilities regulated by the Safeguard Mechanism will be able to use any combination of ACCUs and SMCs to offset up to 100 percent of their harmful emissions.
This is highly problematic because unlimited use of offsets will simply encourage carbon accounting to cover up pollution-as-usual. The design of the Safeguard Mechanism should prioritise genuine emissions reduction, because tackling harmful climate change means Australia's emissions must shrink rapidly this decade.
ACCUs represent an amount of emissions that have notionally been reduced, removed or avoided – for example, through projects like tree planting or land restoration. Companies can purchase these offsets to 'cancel out' emissions produced by their operations. SMCs are intended to operate in a similar manner; they will be created when companies within the Safeguard Mechanism cut emissions below their assessed baseline. Because SMCs will be created through reductions in emissions by facilities within the Safeguard Mechanism, they are the most directly comparable type of offset to the emissions produced within this scheme.
The use of offsets is supposed to be a last resort, for dealing with the small share of emissions that cannot be avoided or reduced. Unfortunately, at the moment paying for offsets is the first and only thing too many big companies are doing about their harmful emissions. Further, planting or regenerating trees is not directly equivalent to stopping harmful pollution. Forests may be killed in the future, by repeated fires and droughts, which are increasing with climate change. Meanwhile, the harmful pollution they are supposed to be offsetting will remain in our atmosphere for many years. That's why it is essential we stop harmful emissions at the source.
The government has proposed that companies which have emissions higher than their baseline can use any combination of ACCUs and SMCs to offset this excess pollution. They are not proposing any limit on the total amount of offsets facilities can use, or even require them to demonstrate efforts to genuinely cut their emissions.
If facilities regulated by the Safeguard Mechanism have unlimited, ongoing access to offsets, they will be much less likely to make the investments needed to genuinely – and permanently – reduce their emissions. This is because it will continue to be cheaper and easier to account for emissions by buying offsets, than to make genuine cuts by investing in process and technology changes. For example, analysis by the federal Parliamentary Library found that the cost of buying ACCUs to comply with new Safeguard Mechanism requirements for Australia's large mining and gas corporations could be less than 0.1 percent of these multinational firms' significant profits.
A strong Safeguard Mechanism would send a clear signal to high emitting businesses to start transforming for the net zero future ahead. Unlimited, ongoing access to offsets sends the opposite signal, and will likely see these facilities simply keep polluting as usual in the years ahead.
Recommended improvements
To ensure the Safeguard Mechanism sends the right investment signal to industry, the proposed settings should be strengthened to clearly state that:
Facilities must demonstrate practical steps and/or investments in train to genuinely reduce emissions before being able to purchase SMCs or ACCUs to meet their regulated baselines;
Facilities must use SMCs to account for any remaining emissions before purchasing ACCUs, given their more direct equivalence to the type of emissions produced within the scheme;
Use of offsets will be progressively phased down to a set percentage of a facility's total baseline following an initial period to enable business planning and investment;
All funding provided to facilities through the Powering the Regions Fund must be used to support business transformation by investing in genuine process and/or technology changes. Public funds should not be spent on purchasing offsets or pursuing technologies which have failed to demonstrate a clear emissions reduction benefit despite large amounts of prior funding – such as some carbon capture and storage technologies in the fossil fuel sector.
Together, these changes would help ensure the Safeguard Mechanism actively prioritises genuine emissions reduction.
Key issue #2 – Don't open the door to new, high emitting fossil fuel projects
Every new highly polluting project that enters the Safeguard Mechanism will add to its overall emissions and the difficulty of achieving Australia's national emissions reduction targets. This is particularly true for fossil fuel projects. Global expert consensus is clear that we cannot open further new coal or gas projects if the world is to have any chance of holding harmful warming to 1.5 degrees. In addition to putting a safe climate at risk globally, Australia's proposed pipeline of new coal and gas facilities threaten to bring a huge amount of additional emissions into the Safeguard Mechanism. This will force existing facilities to work harder to ensure scheme emissions as a whole stay within the proposed carbon budget. Under the government's proposed settings, the unrestrained use of carbon offsets by new coal and gas projects is also likely to hoover up the limited supply of high integrity offsets, making these more expensive and less available for the sectors that truly need them. For all these reasons, a reformed Safeguard Mechanism must regulate new coal and gas projects much more tightly than the government has initially proposed.
The Safeguard Mechanism covers facilities that produce 100,000 tonnes or more of CO2-equivalent emissions a year. There are currently around 215 covered facilities, but this number is likely to rise as more facilities trigger the emissions threshold.
There are currently more than 100 new coal and gas projects in the development pipeline in Australia.Those likely to proceed this decade could generate enough emissions in 2030 for the coal and gas sector to exceed the Safeguard Mechanism's entire emissions budget.
When it comes to climate change, coal and gas cannot be treated like everything else. These fossil fuels are the primary drivers of climate change, and no amount of offsetting can replace limiting new developments.
The government's proposed settings do not differentiate between projects important to our future economy and those that will need to be phased out – like coal and gas. The only dedicated provision addressing new entrants is the application of international best practice baselines adapted for the Australian context. This is intended to ensure that any new facility commencing operation after 1 July 2023 uses the best low emissions technology available anywhere in the world. That is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough.
Under the proposed settings, new entrants will be given the same annual emissions decline rate that will be applied to existing facilities. They will be allowed unlimited use of ACCUs and SMCs to cover off their emissions obligations – meaning they can avoid reducing their pollution and buy offsets or credits instead. New entrants that are trade-exposed (including LNG) will have access to government assistance including a new $600 million Safeguard Transformation Stream under the Powering the Regions Fund. The door is even left open for new highly polluting facilities to get access to a more lenient baseline decline rate by applying for special status as a trade-exposed facility.
The only extra requirement being imposed on new coal and gas facilities is international best practice baselines, and these have not yet been defined. Theoretically they could represent a higher bar for important future-focused industries like steel than for coal or gas where step changes in international best practice are more limited.
Unless the Safeguard Mechanism is strengthened to apply tighter requirements to new highly polluting fossil fuel projects, other facilities will be forced to carry their weight. Further, their expansion will limit Australia's ability to cut emissions by more than 43 percent this decade, in line with the scale of action needed to avoid the worst impacts of harmful climate change.
The impact of further fossil fuel projects on Australia's domestic emissions could be enormous. It is estimated that planned new gas and coal projects could result in almost 1.7 billion tonnes more CO2-e emissions annually if they all proceeded. This is more than three times Australia's annual emissions. A large portion of these emissions would be released overseas – where they would also lead to climate damage – but each project would also be responsible for an increase in domestic emissions. The increase has been estimated at around 146 million tonnes of CO2-e annually, which is more than the total emissions covered under the Safeguard Mechanism in 2020-21.
If Australia is serious about our international climate commitments and doing our part to keep global warming as close to 1.5 degrees as possible, we need to stop opening new coal, oil and gas projects. Climate policies such as the Safeguard Mechanism can play a key role in limiting the ongoing expansion of harmful fossil fuels.
To strengthen how the Safeguard Mechanism deals with proposed new fossil fuel projects, we recommend the following further updates to scheme settings:
New fossil fuel facilities should be required to account for all their emissions without reliance on Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
This would mean that new coal and gas projects would need to first avoid and minimise emissions to ensure that they are as low as possible, and then acquire Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs) to address any remaining emissions over their baselines. In practice, this means new fossil fuel entrants would be required to achieve net zero emissions from facility commencement, without the use of offsets outside the scheme.
Use of SMCs rather than ACCUs would keep the overall emissions reduction task within the Safeguard Mechanism. This would ensure that new entrants are future-focused projects that would be equipped to compete in a low carbon economy and would not derail the Safeguard Mechanism or Australia's emissions reduction ambition.
New coal and gas facilities should not have access to special deals or supports intended to help existing facilities cut their emissions.
This includes co-investment offered to trade-exposed facilities through the Powering the Regions Fund. The Safeguard Transformation Stream within the Fund should explicitly state that it is not available to new fossil fuel projects. Its defined purpose is to support decarbonisation activities of emissions-intensive trade-exposed facilities. The Fund should therefore focus its support on critical industries needed for decarbonising domestic and global economies – not fossil fuel facilities which are adding more fuel to the fire.
Similarly, new fossil fuel projects should not have access to a more lenient baseline decline rate through proposed 'trade exposed baseline adjustments.'
These adjustments offer lower baseline decline rates for a three-year period, for trade-exposed facilities that have an elevated risk of carbon leakage. These special conditions should be reserved for facilities in genuinely hard-to-abate sectors which are essential for Australia's ongoing development in a net zero emissions economy.
A reformed Safeguard Mechanism can play an important role in driving the urgent emissions reduction Australia must now achieve. For the Safeguard Mechanism to deliver this, the new settings must be calibrated to prioritise genuine emissions reduction at every level. Furthermore, the scheme should ensure that any new facility which seeks to commence operations in Australia is set up to thrive as net zero increasingly becomes business as usual. This means placing much tighter restrictions on new coal, oil and gas projects within the Safeguard Mechanism.
There is much at stake in the reform of this key policy lever. But getting it right will deliver enormous benefits: continued prosperity in a zero emissions economy; new job and industry creation through innovation; and a safe and liveable environment for Australians – now and in the decades to come.

Bradley just can't keep his emotions in check after beating Bradford
Sonny Bradley celebrates the Hatters' win with club captain Alan Sheehan
Mike Simmonds
Published: 14:12 Wednesday 13 March 2019
Hatters defender Sonny Bradley admitted he had a hard time holding his emotions in after a vital 1-0 win at Bradford City on Tuesday night.
On the full time whistle, the skipper went over to Town's travelling fans with club captain Alan Sheehan.
The pair were highly animated in their celebrations, as Luton moved five points clear at the top of the League One table again, with Bradley saying afterwards: "I think you see at the end, celebrating like that, it's impossible to hold in your emotions.
"Me and Sheez, we went a bit mad, but sometimes you've just got to let it out and show everyone exactly how much it means to you and the fans responded exactly the same.
"I think it means as much to them as it means to us, and being that way, I think helps us and it's going to help us achieve success this season.
"It's completely natural, I can't even explain the feeling, how good it is.
"One nil away from home when you put a real good shift in, and that's everyone in the squad, as Sheez will say.
"It's not just the starting 11 and the boys who come on, it's the whole squad and the fans, we're together, we're as one.
"The whole of this season, it's been a team effort, a squad effort and that's a key factor in why we've had success.
"We haven't had a bad player, or a bad egg at the club all season, and that means a lot.
"We protect our environment and that's helped us be a success this season, so let's go and finish it off."
Town were roared on by a marvellous 1,044 at the Coral Windows Stadium, just three days after 1,215 had made the lengthy trip down to Plymouth Argyle for a 0-0 draw on Saturday.
That meant a total of 2,259 supporters had covered around 800 miles in following the Hatters up and down the country, as, Bradley said; "It's absolutely magnificent.
Van Crombrugge has the qualities to be a hit in England if he makes Luton switch
"After the Plymouth game I thanked the fans (on Twitter), as that's a hell of a trip down to Plymouth, as I know.
"They turned up in their numbers, we couldn't get the winner for them but we pushed hard.
"It was a bit disappointing not to get the win, but they backed us all the way in full voice for the 90 minutes, then tonight, exactly the same again.
"They didn't shut up for 95 minutes and we absolutely love that and we need that every game from now until the end of the season."
Meanwhile, Town boss Mick Harford added: "Those fans, on a wet and windy night in Bradford, they got behind the team.
"They do get them over the line, absolutely, so it's been a good week for Luton this week."

As you can see, I've added indexes on the affected columns but the planner is still doing sequential scans. Is there a way to improve this?.

A: There is no WHERE condition, due to this join:
right join turnointegracion ti

you're reading all records from turnointegracion, adding an index for `creationdate' you can accelerate the sort function, but again all records are returned.
Filtering by creationdate can reduce the final time.

Convic Managing Director Simon Oxenham interviewed on Episode 2 of ABC's 'Two Men in China"
An interview with Convic Managing Director, Simon Oxenham recently aired on Episode 2 of ABC's 'Two Men in China' and showcases the SMP skate park which we created in Shanghai in 2004 and continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the Largest Skate Park in the World.
The ABC show hosted by Australian of the Year, Professor Tim Flannery and John Doyle, AKA Rampaging Roy Slaven looks at the changing face of China and the 2 ½ minute clip was edited down from over 6 hours of filming (and of course some skateboarding) with Tim and John. It was an amazing experience to be a part of this show and also an honour to have created this world class facility in Shanghai.

Maria Litta Medri, director of the Boboli Gardens and author of different studies on the Gardens, offers in this guide a journey through the artificial grottoes that characterize the park of the Fiorentino Palace. The four grottoes were built in a period from the 16th century up to beginnings of the 19th century. Even though they are thought and realized in so many epoches, they all have the common denominator of a unique and unrepeatable magic, of a sensation of fresh and changeable mystery magic that characterizes those very particular architectures. Wellknown artists worked, in order to plan and decorate them, and there they collect works of art of extraordinary value, like the mighty Prisoners of Michelangelo or the innocent Venus of Giambologna.
