New Zealand Dairy Farms have recovered from the 2013 drought even better than had been expected. The milk supply forecast for MY2014 is revised upward to 21.35 million metric tons. Very high prices for Whole Milk Powder late in 2013 going into 2014 has continued the drive upward in WMP production and exports. In MY2014 forecast WMP production has been revised up to 1.37 million MT and exports to 1.34 million MT.
"Onward and upward" would appear to be the catchphrase for New Zealand dairy farmers at the moment. Even though drought (centered in the Waikato, North Island region) once again threatened on-farm production covering over 40% of the total dairying area, nationally milk supply for 2014 is set to increase six percent year on year to reach 21.35 million metric tons (MT). This is a four percent upward revision of the previous forecast and is due to a 16% boost in overall milk supplies in the first half of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013. A record forecast milk price has prompted North Island farmers to feed increased levels of supplements to maintain production. This combined with significant increased production from the South Island is behind the boost.
Whole milk powder (WMP) again has been more profitable than the other products and is likely to tip the production scales at 1.37 million MT in 2014. This represents a five percent upward revision based on increased processing capacity as well as a forecast upward trend in production of 60-65 TMT. There is nothing at present to suggest this trend won't continue. Exports are now forecast at 1.34 million MT, which represents a slight 5,000 MT increase from previous forecasts. The production increase in excess of the extra export requirement is forecast to be used for revised domestic consumption and to rebuild stocks. WMP production in 2013 has been revised upward by 2% to 1.3 million MT. The increased production fueled higher exports and increased domestic consumption.
Another profitable commodity grouping for New Zealand dairy producers is skim milk powder (SMP) and butter or anhydrous milkfat (AMF) powder group. This combination in terms of profitability is second only to WMP. It is forecast in 2014 that production of SMP will be 425,000Mt and butter/AMF in butter equivalents 540,000MT, both revised upward by one percent and three percent respectively. Exports of these two categories are forecast to increase along with the production increases to 425,000MT in 2014 for SMP and 516,000MT for butter/AMF. This amounts to revisions of 5% and 3% for SMP and butter/AMF respectively.
Cheese production is assumed to be stable within a range of 300,000MT to 320,000MT per annum. Production is expected to reach 320,000MT in 2014 after recovering from the drought reduced estimated total production in 2013 of 306,000MT. The nature of New Zealand cheese production and exports is changing. Ten years ago production consisted of predominantly natural ingredient cheese, such as Cheddar and Gouda shipped to traditional markets. Now there are growing volumes of fresh cheeses such as mozzarella, cream, and cottage, which are directed to non-traditional markets in Asia. It is forecast cheese exports will recover from the dip in 2013 at 277,000MT to reach 290,000MT in 2014.
Infant milk formula (IMF) is a value added product which has enjoyed substantial export volume growth since 2009, reaching 48,000MT in 2013, up from 33,000MT in 2012. However the combination of the Whey Powder Concentrate contamination scare in August 2013, combined with new Chinese market access requirements, has dealt a severe blow to infant formula exports for 2014, which are now forecast at 35,000MT.
Despite drought conditions that had threatened milk production over 43% of the total dairying area early in 2014, total milk output in New Zealand is now forecast at 21.35 million metric tons (MT) for 2014. This represents a 5.7 % increase from the reduced production levels in 2013 which had resulted from the more severe drought conditions during that period. It also represents a 3.8% upward revision from our initial forecast for 2014.
The main factor behind the more optimistic 2014 production forecast is the lack of more severe nationwide drought conditions that had existed during the same time period in 2013. The Waikato; Central Plateau; Manawatu; and Northland regions, which account for about 43% of the total New Zealand dairy herd, were very dry from late January through early April. Nevertheless, due to strong expected financial margins resulting from the high milk price forecast, farmers in these regions were able to finance purchases of feed (palm kernel extract, grain, or silage) to maintain production.
• Farmers are expected to milk their herds as far into late autumn (April-May) as possible to get the most production at the high 2013/14 season milk price. This means that cow condition at calving isn't likely to be as good as in 2013.
• It is likely that mean calving dates will be slightly delayed in 2014, which will result in cows having less time to get to peak production in October and probably not hold the peak for as long.
• In all probability it is not as likely that weather conditions and pasture growth will be as productive in 2014 as in the previous year.
• Any potential short term feed deficits at a farm level were quickly filled with purchased feed due to strong farmer financial viability based on a higher expected milk payout.
These factors combined to bring daily per head milk volumes over the whole country to record levels (Average daily per cow volumes for October were 4% to 5% above previous years).
So much milk was produced at the peak that the Fonterra factories couldn't cope with it all and several million liters of buttermilk was dumped at a couple of sites in the North Island.
New data from trade sources shows the actual consumption of milk in New Zealand is actually approximately 50% greater than Post had been previously estimating. The 2012, 2013, and 2014 years have all been adjusted accordingly to 425,000MT, 450,000MT, and 450,000MT respectively.
• Chinese demand is strong and growing. Trade sources indicate that total WMP shipments to China could increase by 10-15% in the first half of 2014.
• The new 30MT per hour drier at Darfield in the South Island will be operating over the whole production season (capacity is 180,000 to 200,000 MT per annum).
• In light of the demand for export shipments during the winter shut down of the factories, which is in the order of 160,000 to 200,000 MT, it is estimated that the ending stock figure will need to be maintained near to 180,000MT and there will be extra production in 2014 to increase stocks by approximately 15,000MT during the year.
• Global Dairy Trade (GDT) Auction prices for WMP during October to November 2013 were way ahead of the other commodities. In terms of additional production capacity for the future Fonterra have announced they have commenced building a 15-20 MT/hour drier in the Southern North Island which will be operational for the 2015/2016 production season. In addition Open Country Dairy are said to be considering building another drier.
• WMP, because it is more cost efficient to produce, continues to be the most profitable commodity for the NZ processors.
At peak processing capacity Fonterra, who processes about 88% of the national milk supply, can only put approximately 70% of its milk into powder stream products. When the demand really heated up for WMP during July- December 2013 and the value of milk put to WMP diverged significantly above the other commodities Fonterra reported the 30% of milk that had to be processed into other commodities was costing it NZ$0.70c/kilogram of milksolids. At the time Fonterra was forecasting a record raw milk payout to farmers of NZ$8.30/ kilogram of milksolids but a price of NZ$9.00 may have been achieved if all milk could have been processed to powder. Over the whole year approximately 85% of raw milk goes to the powder streams.
Production of Skim Milk Powder (SMP) is forecast at 425,000MT in 2014 which is a one percent increase on the previous forecast. Now that the milk supply is increasing again SMP production in 2014 is likely to be four percent ahead of 2013 which would bring it back to being fairly close to historical trend increases which have been 13-14,000MT per annum. It is likely stock levels from the beginning of the year to year end will be fairly constant. Approximately 60,000 to 70,000MT of stocks are needed for shipments while the factories undergo their winter shutdown June to August. A surge of SMP is made during the peak milk flow months of October to December because a greater throughput of milk can be achieved if SMP and butter or Anhydrous Milkfat (AMF) is made rather than WMP. It is likely stocks are built up in the spring to cover the winter shipments and to allow an orderly shipping schedule. Because SMP has very little fat content it can be kept in dry goods stores for longer periods than WMP.
It is now forecast that production of all fat products measured in butter equivalents will be 540,000MT in 2014 which is three percent ahead of the previous forecast and three percent greater than the estimated 2013 production. After the reduced milk supply in 2013 the forecast rebound in 2014 should allow butter/AMF production to return to trend line increases of approximately 11,000MT butter equivalents per annum.
The combination of SMP and butter/AMF production is second in terms of profitability, behind WMP, for the main commodities so once demand for WMP is met then Butter/AMF and SMP production is the next in the priority line.
This forecast adjusts the original October 2013 forecast for cheese production upward by 4,000MT to 324,000MT to accommodate increased domestic consumption. New data on domestic consumption is showing that previously the PSD tables have been underestimating consumption by 12% to 13%.
Trend analysis suggests that production is increasing by less than 1,000MT per annum. Cheese is generally only produced when peak processing capacity is needed during the spring. Since 2000 it has been a lower margin commodity for NZ processors. That may be starting to change as NZ diversifies into fresh cheeses aimed at Asian food service and consumer ready markets.
For 2013 the production estimate has been reduced by 2.5% to 311,000MT. The reduced milk supply in the first half of 2013 is one factor combined with the reduced level of exports in 2013 has meant not as much cheese was needed. Even though the super flush of milk during September to December would have necessitated cheese manufacture it is estimated the reduction earlier in the year was not compensated for by the boost in production in the second half of 2013.
Two Chinese Companies are in the process of building factories dedicated to manufacturing infant milk formula products. Mengnui/Yashilli is building a plant just south of Auckland which will be capable of producing 50,000MT per annum. This plant will be able to take raw milk or ingredients such as SMP to make IMF. The management is already in talks with both Fonterra and Open Country Dairies regarding sourcing milk. Villi is building a factory in South Canterbury, South Island and will be sourcing milk directly from farmer suppliers. Both companies are likely to be eligible to receive up 50 million liters of raw milk from Fonterra under the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act raw milk regulations.
Westland Dairy Cooperative is also building a nutritional drier at its base in Hokitika, South Island. It is aiming at producing high end nutritional products, such as IMF, primarily being aimed at markets in Australia, S.E.Asia, and China.
Fonterra opened a new UHT processing facility in April 2014. Reportedly it is being focused initially at cream production. When all five of its processing lines are operational it will use approximately 100,000 MT of milk per year.
Tatua has started on its largest building program yet with an investment on a specialized powder drier, which will dry hydrolyzed protein. This pre-digested soluble protein can be used in a variety of nutritional products including IMF.
For 2014 it is now forecast that exports will reach 1.34 million MT, which would be just 5,000 MT ahead of the previous forecast and four percent greater than 2013's revised actual total of 1.29 million MT. This magnitude of annual increase forecast is in line with the recent trend. Commentators in New Zealand are saying demand in China is expected to increase again in 2014 which backs up forecasts for increased exports.
Demand increases for WMP out of China haven't stopped to draw breath for nearly five years now. The tonnage shipped from NZ in 2013 was up 47% over 2012. In NZ the reason for the jump in 2013 was put down to an estimated reduction in China's domestic milk supply of 5% to 6%.
Chinese buyers' ability to pay the escalating prices needed to secure product crowded other buyers out of the market.
• China has emerged since 2008 has the pre-eminent destination for WMP and has been willing to purchase all the increases in production NZ has been able to provide.
New Zealand milk supply is expected to continue increase sustainably at around 2% per annum which could mean WMP exports could go on increasing at a rate of 40-60,000 MT per annum indefinitely.
The SMP export forecast in 2014 is calling for a five percent upward revision of the shipments to 425,000MT. While the actual level of SMP exports in 2013, at 392,000MT were three percent lower than previously estimated it is expected there will be a return to trend-line volumes. SMP is an ingredient for many value added products(ice-cream, yoghurts, vegetable fat filled powders, milk protein concentrates, and IMF) so if it becomes more profitable to manufacture those products in New Zealand then volume will be diverted away from direct exports to further manufacture. It isn't seen as a significant probability this year but could divert the last 5,000 to 10,000 MT away from the total.
Cheese exports in 2014 are expected to be 290,000 MT which is no change from the previous forecast. In 2013 exports were 277,000 MT which was 13,000 MT (4.5%) below the previous forecast. In early 2013 the nationwide drought reduced milk supply which meant only the most profitable dairy products were produced. It is likely cheese production and subsequent exports were reduced in order to maintain WMP exports.
The nature of New Zealand's cheese production is changing and so are the target markets. From 1992 to 2013 the linear trend for the volume of cheese exports showed an annual increase of 6,500 MT to 7,000 MT. However if the trend is examined from 2000 it is showing only a 750-800 MT per annum increase. It could be said that cheese exports are essentially stable now. However that belies what is going on under the surface. Fresh cheese exports are on a growth trend. They include cottage, cream, and mozzarella cheeses as well as curd. Since 2005 this category has increased from 36,461MT up to 51,683MT. Ninety seven percent of this production is going to Asia and Australia compared with 57% for all cheese exports. The products are going direct to consumers and to food service businesses.
Fonterra's new Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) grated Mozzarella which can be made in 24 hours is an example of this new type of product. By September 2015 Fonterra will have capacity to produce 50,000 MT per annum of IQF grated Mozzarella.
Exports of the natural ingredient cheeses such as Cheddar and Gouda have averaged 193,000MT per annum since 2005 but with a slight downward trend of approximately 2,500MT per annum. Processed cheese exports appear to be on a significant downward trend since 2005, having decreased by 23% from 27,500 MT in that year.
Exports of fat products in butter equivalents for 2014 are forecast to reach 516,000 MT in line with forecast production increases. This revision equates to a three percent increase. In 2013 actual exports exceeded previous expectations by 20,000MT (4%) to reach 505,000MT only 1,000MT less than 2012. WMP and the Butter/SMP combination were the commodities with significantly better profitability during 2013 so were going to be produced at the expense of the other commodities.
New Zealand IMF exports surged ahead during 2012 and going into 2013. The bulk of the increase has been going to China, Hong Kong, and Australia. However this all came to an abrupt end at the beginning of August 2013 when Fonterra reported a batch of Whey Protein Concentration (an ingredient to IMF) was contaminated with clostridium bacteria.
At the time it was mistakenly thought to be the botulism causing bacteria. This news took hold in the media which scared consumers away from NZ product. Even though it was confirmed it wasn't clostridium botulinum, by September 2013, exports have still not recovered to pre August 2013 levels. While the media reports have concentrated on what has happened in China, exports to Australia have also been reduced significantly.
It is now forecast that IMF shipments in 2014 will be back to 2012 levels at around 35,000 MT at best. Market access issues in China are now the main pre-occupation for exporters and MPI.
In 2013 81% of the imports were sourced from the US well up from the 68% proportion in 2012.
As a result of the WPC80 contamination issue, Chinese authorities are still blocking imports of whey and base powders (IMF ingredients) from Fonterra. This is not particularly significant as whey powder exports to China made up 1.5% of the total volume shipped in 2012, and 3% by value.
There has been ongoing fallout in New Zealand in the wake of the August 2013 incident: Fonterra conducted two internal reviews culminating in a wide ranging board of directors' inquiry which used external experts to perform it. MPI carried out an investigation which ended with Fonterra being charged in the High Court. Fonterra pleaded guilty and was fined $300,000. In addition the Government has carried out a separate review. It has been reported Chinese officials were waiting for the results of the Government inquiry before allowing trade to re-commence. It is unclear what is now holding up the re-start for whey and base powder exports from Fonterra.
In Sri Lanka 130 MT of powder was destroyed after it was held in storage beyond the food safety use-by date. There was a dispute over testing results which Sri Lankan officials said showed traces of Dicyandiamide (DCD) was present in the powder.
While in New Zealand it may seem the crackdown on the plethora of brands of IMF being imported into China is linked to the WPC80 incident that may have only hastened the resolve by Chinese officials to get control of food safety in China and in particular infant nutrition. It has more to do with the melamine scandal dating from 2008 and the many food safety problems emanating from within China. Chinese officials are working on a plan to whittle down the several hundred brands of IMF on the market, which there is virtually no control over from a food safety view, to six domestic champions who will manufacture and market their own brands. The same logic is being applied to NZ IMF exporters where there are at least 50 exporters with perhaps over 100 brands. In order to qualify to export IMF to China an exporter will have to demonstrate a close association with the manufacturer.
Even though the regulations in China came into force May 1, 2014 it is still unclear what a "close association" actually means. At the time of writing five of the total of thirteen manufacturers present in NZ have been certified and listed by the Chinese authorities. Fonterra and Westland Cooperatives are among the five who are actually responsible for approximately 90% of the present tonnage produced in NZ. Synlait another significant dairy processor is still waiting to be certified. Originally the May 1 deadline for companies to be officially listed or have imports blocked did not include product already on the water however that provision now seems to have been removed which is causing consternation among exporters in New Zealand who are not on the official list.
The listing process and subsequent fall-out will disrupt trade to some extent although Synlait for example said it had built up stocks in China to be able continue its sales program even though shipments may be interrupted for a period of months.


In response to numerous comments about "excessive minimalism", I recently put together a new website for my Tarsnap online backup service; and since I was reworking things anyway, I decided that it was a good time to move to a new web server and generally clean up the system configuration. Among the things I cleaned up was how I handle HTTPS: I need it because people enter passwords when creating tarsnap accounts and when logging in to the tarsnap account management interface, but I wasn't satisfied with the (in)security of running Apache with SSL enabled.
There are two reasons why I don't like the idea of running Apache with mod_ssl and OpenSSL to service HTTPS requests. First, SSL is a complex protocol, and thus implementations are likely to be buggy and insecure; and second, SSL certificates are sensitive information. If someone finds a vulnerability in OpenSSL, I don't want them to be able to leverage that into accessing anything else on the server; and likewise, if someone finds a vulnerability in something else (Apache, for instance, or -- although it would greatly shock me -- one of the tarsnap CGI scripts) I don't want them to be able to leverage that into gaining access to the SSL certificate for www.tarsnap.com.
In order to maximize the separation between systems on this machine, I set it up following the "service jail" model: Using FreeBSD's jail functionality (roughly speaking, chroot redesigned to be secure), I have daemons running each in their own "world" and bound to individual non-routable IP addresses; and then I use the ipfw firewall and natd daemon to translate and pass packets back and forth to the external interface. Among the jails on this system, I have a package-building jail on IP address 192.168.128.1; a dns cache jail on IP address 192.168.128.53; an outgoing mail daemon on IP address 192.168.1.25; and an authoritative nameserver on IP address 192.168.0.53.
As one might expect from the configuration file, stunnel takes the incoming HTTPS connections, performs the necessary SSL negotiation, and then passes the underlying HTTP connection on to the Apache daemon at 192.168.0.80. Now if someone compromises OpenSSL, they will still be stuck within the stunnel jail -- able to steal the SSL certificate, to be sure, and also able to intercept other HTTPS connections -- but unable to do anything to Apache (or the CGI scripts which Apache launches) aside from what could already be done from the outside world.
Good system security requires multiple layers. It isn't enough to use software, like Apache, mod_ssl, and OpenSSL, which have no presently known vulnerabilities, and upgrade them whenever vulnerabilities are found. Designing secure systems requries accepting that security vulnerabilities will be found -- and exploited before they can be fixed -- and putting components together in such a way as to minimize the potential impact of such vulnerabilities.

Bowman ready to baptise ULP converts
Updated: 6 Oct 2019 - 08:59PM

The opposition New Democratic Party's (NDP) caretaker for Marriaqua, Curtis Bowman has presented himself as an evangelist who has been converting supporters of the ruling Unity Labour Party.
Bowman, a Seventh-day Adventist, told the NDP's 41st convention rally on Sept. 29 that it was no coincidence that he got to sit next to the Rev. Scrubb — who prayed at the opening of the event — because he believes that in his political journey nothing happens before time.
"My political journey has been like an evangelist and in 2010, I began a political crusade in Marriaqua and have been doing a lot of work there," said Bowman, referring to his entry into politics, when he suffered the first of his two electoral defeats.
"And in 2015, we have, in Marriaqua, one of the largest altar calls for the ULP supporters and they are now making up their minds and I can guarantee you that in 2020 or whenever the elections are called here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we will be having the biggest political baptism in Marriaqua because the ULP supporters are now converted to the New Democratic Party and they are coming home under the leadership of Dr. Godwin Friday," Bowman said, referring to his party leader.
Bowman said that the electorate is ready for a new government.
The NDP will go in the next polls with Friday as its leader for the first time since it was voted out of office under the leadership of Member of Parliament for East Kingstown, Arnhim Eustace, who stepped down as party leader in 2017.
"With our leader, Dr. Friday, as prime minister of our country, we will, once again, be united and every single Vincentian at home and abroad can rest assured that we will have hope for the hopeless. We will be seeing one nation, one people, one Vincy," Bowman said.
The ULP's Girlyn Miguel defeated Bowman in 2010 and in 2015, he suffered the same fate at the hands of first-time candidate, St. Clair "Jimmy" Prince, also of the ULP.

Q: Obtaining standard errors from forecast object in R I am using an ARIMA model to forecast a few periods ahead of my data in R. To do this I begin by estimating the ARIMA model using the forecast::auto.arima function and then compute predictions using the forecast::forecast function. How can I obtain the standard errors of these predictions from the forecast function output?
Here is a simple example to illustrate my problem. I begin by loading the AirPassengers data that comes with R and transforming it into a ts object:
data(AirPassengers)
air.ts <- ts(AirPassengers, freq=12)

Then I estimate an ARIMA model:
air.arima <- auto.arima(air.ts)

I then forecast three months ahead of the data, which ends in December 1960:
air.fc <- forecast(air.arima, h=3)

> air.fc
       Point Forecast    Lo 80    Hi 80    Lo 95    Hi 95
Jan 13       445.6349 430.8903 460.3795 423.0851 468.1847
Feb 13       420.3950 403.0907 437.6993 393.9304 446.8596
Mar 13       449.1983 429.7726 468.6241 419.4892 478.9074

As you can see, the output includes point forecasts as well as 80% and 95% confidence intervals, but not standard errors.
I could obtain these standard errors using the stats::predict function:
> predict(air.arima, n.ahead=3, se.fit=TRUE)
$pred
        Jan      Feb      Mar
13 445.6349 420.3950 449.1983

$se
        Jan      Feb      Mar
13 11.50524 13.50261 15.15799

However, the output of the function predict is not compatible with the forecast::accuracy function which I need to use to compute the Mean Absolute Scaled Errors of my predictions, and this is why I would like to obtain the standard errors from the forecast function instead.
Added in response to comments: Just to clarify, I don't intend to use the standard errors of the predictions as inputs into the accuracy function or any other analysis, I am simply interested in them as a measure of the uncertainty associated with those predictions.
At the moment I need to use both the predict and the forecast function, the former to obtain the standard errors (one of the outputs of my analysis) and the latter as an input into the accuracy function in order to compute the MASE (a second, separate output).

A: The prediction intervals are based on a normal distribution, so if you want to find the standard error of the forecast distribution, you can just compute it from the intervals.
If fc is a forecast object, then
fsd <- (fc$upper[,1] - fc$lower[,1]) / (2 * qnorm(.5 + fc$level[1] / 200))

gives you the forecast standard deviations for all horizons. In your example:
library(forecast)
air.arima <- auto.arima(AirPassengers)
air.fc <- forecast(air.arima, h=3)
predict(air.arima, n.ahead=3, se.fit=TRUE)
#> $pred
#>           Jan      Feb      Mar
#> 1961 445.6349 420.3950 449.1983
#>
#> $se
#>           Jan      Feb      Mar
#> 1961 11.50524 13.50261 15.15799
(air.fc$upper[,1] - air.fc$lower[,1]) / (2 * qnorm(.5 + air.fc$level[1] / 200))
#>           Jan      Feb      Mar
#> 1961 11.50524 13.50261 15.15799

By the way, this is not a good model as the data should be logged first.

Patrick Charles Martyn Nicholls (born 14 December 1948) is a British solicitor and politician who served as a Conservative MP for Teignbridge between 1983 and 2001.

A solicitor by profession and formerly an East Devon District Councillor, Nicholls was first elected to the House of Commons in 1983 at the age of 34, winning a comfortable majority over the nationally known Liberal Party candidate, John Alderson, who had resigned as Chief Constable of Devon & Cornwall specifically to contest the seat.

Within a year of entering the House of Commons, Nicholls was made a Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Home Office Minister David Mellor, and subsequently to the Minister of Agriculture John Selwyn Gummer. He was also made a Steward of The British Boxing Board of Control.

After the 1987 General Election, Nicholls entered the government as the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Employment. Still not yet 40, he was given a key role in piloting the second tranche of Conservative Trades Union reforms through Standing Committee. His upward advance was checked, however, when he was arrested for drink driving in 1990, as a result of which he resigned from the government.

Nicholls' career was, however, only temporarily stalled. He was appointed to the Westminster Foundation for Democracy at its inception in 1992 and served on The North Atlantic Assembly and the 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs. In 1994, he was made a Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party and in 1997 was appointed the Shadow Fisheries Minister by the then Leader of the Opposition, William Hague. A leading Eurosceptic, Nicholls was credited with having single-handedly turned Conservative Party policy around in favour of leaving the EU Common Fisheries Policy.

After losing his seat in 2001, Nicholls became Chairman of The Young Britons Foundation, a  research think-tank established in July 2003 to "help train tomorrow's centre-right leaders and activists today". Currently, Nicholls is a freelance political journalist and lectures on British and American politics in Europe and America as well as the UK.

Nicholls is married with three children. His wife, Bridget, is also a solicitor.

Quotabulary


Brave Men Die Part 1 by Dan Adams is best characterized as a standard but entertaining grimdark. It has lots of combat, buckets of blood and gore with a straight forward story to go with it. While Brave doesn't revolutionize the fantasy genre, it is definitely a guilty pleasure that will be appreciated by those fantasy fans who like their fantasy equal parts grim and dark.
The story begins with a group of warrior-wizards unleashing hell on the township of Tarkinholm. These three men leave a trail of bodies and destruction as they breach an inner sanctum in the city to retrieve a well guarded prize. One of the victims of this rampage being a Prince of the Empire of Kyzantium, who is killed by the intruders. When the sister of our dearly departed Prince discovers that the murderers of her brother are supposedly from the neighboring land of Murukia, the inevitable spiral toward war begins!
From this blood splattered beginning, Dan Adams fleshes out the story (Part 1 of 3 please remember) by introducing numerous characters from both kingdoms. Some of these people are high born lords, others merely young warriors, but each describes through his own experience the buildup to and the inevitable clash between their two lands. And through the lens of their lives, the author shows how quickly an unease peace can begin to crumble and a war that no one really wants erupt.
Now, as I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed Brave Men Die; it was exactly what I expected it to be: a hard fighting grimdark. And that was enough for me. But I'd feel remise if I didn't mention that there were not a lot of complex plot lines interwoven into this tale. Sure, our cast of characters have their own issues and problems that are explored in some measure, but none of these things ever really rise beyond the level of merely being mentioned. Rather, Dan Adams spends his time focusing on the fights between warriors, the vistas of war, and the aftermath of people dying before their time.
The other issue I had with the story was that, at times, the language and verbiage of the characters was too modern and contemporary sounding. Not that this was a constant issue, because it was not. Rather, there were instances when a few modern phrases and expressions would spring off the page, disrupting my mind's attempt to immerse itself in this medieval-like world of steel and magic.
With all that being said, Brave Men Die Part 1 was a book that I enjoyed, do not regret investing my reading time in, and feel okay recommending to other fantasy fans. So take a look at it, you know nothing passes the time like sitting back and enjoying some blood drenched grimdark.
I received this book from HarperCollins via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I'd like to thank the publisher for allowing me to receive this review copy and inform everyone that the review you have read is my opinion alone.
Buy Brave Men Die: Part 1 of 3 at Amazon.

I read this at super speed – there was plenty of action for sure – and yet I haven't quite made my mind up that I will continue with the series. I suppose it felt like too much action and not enough of anything else – if you know what I mean! But I'm sure that some people will absolutely love that element! I think I wanted a little more attachment to the characters somehow. Are you intending to carry on reading it??

Scottish Alternative Music Awards (SAMA) announce 2021 nominees
The nominees for the 12th annual Scottish Alternative Music Awards (SAMA) are revealed today, with the winners announced at an exclusive live ceremony at Glasgow's Saint Luke's on Saturday 27th November 2021.
SAMA 2021 will celebrate the rich creativity and innovation of musicians across Scotland and champion the best of the nation's emerging artists whose talents have shone over the past 12 months despite the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19.
Fans are asked to vote from a total of 28 of the best new artists in the country, selected by some of the country's most influential music tastemakers and champions, including Phoebe Inglis-Holmes of BBC Introducing In Scotland.
Phoebe Inglis-Holmes explains: "I'm really delighted to see such a wide range of genres and artists being nominated at this year's event. This SAMAs 2021 honours list is truly full of some of the most exciting and deserving acts I think these awards have ever seen, to the extent that I think there'll be some really close calls for the winner, in multiple categories.
"It'll be amazing to feel that nervous anticipation on the night to see who'll come out on top, and of course catch amazing live performances from the likes of recent Sound of Young Scotland winner, LVRA."
Alan Morrison, Head of Music at Creative Scotland said: "After championing Scotland's musical diversity for more than a decade, it's clear that the SAMAs have an uncanny ability to pinpoint emerging artists just as they're about to break through to wider acclaim. These awards provide a major platform for the people creating music today that will define the music of tomorrow. The SAMAs are a key partner for Creative Scotland, helping us reach deep into some of music's most marginalised genres. Get voting, get listening and get ready to discover your new favourite artists."
SAMA 2021 nominees
Best Rock
Nominees include MEMES, a pair of Glasgow cousins whose pairing of real-life lyrics with laptop pop-punk won them a BBC live session with Steve Lamacq; Glasgow indie-disco outfit Spyres whose big-chorused singles so far have attracted the attention of BBC Radio 1; West Lothian psych-tinged groove-makers Dictator, whose run of early sold-out gigs was only cut short by the pandemic; and Edinburgh's Swim School, a dream-rock four-piece who recently wowed crowds as the support act for chart-topping stars (and former SAMA winners) The Snuts on their sell-out tour.
Best Metal
Edinburgh's Dvne are nominated for their literary take on prog-metal, while Glasgow death-metallers Godeater are selected for their ferocious live shows and acclaimed debut LP All Flesh Is Grass. Further nominations come for the theatrical Hellripper, a speed/black metal outfit from the Highlands and Edinburgh's Frontierer, whose blend of mathcore and bludgeoning guitars has seen them twice acclaimed in Rolling Stone magazine.
Best Live Act
Rachel Aggs is a member of two significant success stories of recent years – Sacred Paws and Shopping – and her recent solo work blends Marine Girls-style vocals and highlife grooves with digital synth-pop. Glasgow's Tom Spirals is a reggae MC and singer whose voice will be familiar to anyone who has attended the city's Walk N Skank events, while Ayrshire MC Bemz is a rapper of understated confidence with soft vocals and a tough swagger. Also nominated is rising Dundee-based composer Andrew Wasylyk, acclaimed for his evocative, jazz-influenced soundtracks.
Born in Nigeria and raised in Austria, neo-soul artist Danny Cliff's honeyed vocals have enchanted lucky crowds in Edinburgh over recent years. The capital is also home to fellow nominee Bee Asha, a spoken-word artist whose cathartic musings explore race, gender and sex through the prism of contemporary social politics. Aberdeen rapper Chef has already starred in a BBC documentary and collaborated with The Rap Game UK breakout star Ransom FA, while AiiTee, a Scottish-Nigerian R&B artist whose uplifting blend of Afro-Beats and Gospel, completes the Best Newcomer nominees.
Best Acoustic
Lizabett Russo is a Romanian-born, Edinburgh-based jazz-influenced artist with captivating vocals which recall Dolores O'Riordan and Susanne Sundfor. Also nominated is Christy, a soulful singer-songwriter whose heartfelt torchsongs were honed busking the streets of Glasgow, and fellow Glaswegian Lizzie Reid, an artist whose intimate tales of love and heartbreak exude both vulnerability and strength. The nominations are completed by Stirling's Constant Follower, an outift who elegantly refract Classic Americana-via central Scotland in their debut album Neither Is, Nor Ever Was, out now.
Best Electronic
The nominees feature two producers who learnt their craft as resident DJs in Glasgow clubs: AISHA, a resident at the city's long-running Animal Farm night whose own high-octane techno productions draw from trance and hard house, and Macka, a producer whose euphoric, sample-heavy take on disco house was no doubt shaped by his residency at La Cheetah's Rare Tuesdays. Also nominated is KAVARI, an Aberdeen-based producer who showcases her propulsive, post-club experimentalism in acclaimed recent debut EP If The Benign Was To Ever Be So Pure, and Barry Can't Swim, an Edinburgh producer whose after-hours deep house earned him a tip as one of Annie Mac's New Names For 2021.
Best Hip Hop
Both Bemz and Chef are the recipients of two nominations: the former for Best Live Act, the latter for Best Newcomer. Their double successes show how Scotland's hip hop scene is fast gaining strength and recognition, something demonstrated earlier this year with SAMA's hybrid conference HANG (Hip-Hop Aimed Networking With Grime), where fellow nominee Clarissa Woods, a charismatic Glasgow rapper, also earned new fans.

NADER SADEK, the supergroup featuring Steve Tucker (ex-MORBID ANGEL), Rune Eriksen (AVA INFERI, AURA NOIR, ex-MAYHEM), and Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY) have announced their first live appearance. The band will be performing their debut, In the Living Flesh, on November 20th, 2011 (8:30pm – 10:00pm) at Santos Party House (96 Lafayette St. New York, NY). Admission is free.
Novy (ex-VADER/ex-BEHEMOTH) will be playing bass as well as newcomer Sean Frey on lead guitar and a surprise female vocalist.
With stage design that resembles a Wagnerian Opera, band mastermind Nader Sadek seeks to take the death metal experience to new heights, as he is set to perform the new album In the Living Flesh live in its entirety alongside the production team behind the album. Upon entering the space, the audience is invited to view all of Sadek's works on and off the stage, each attendee will be given "pamphlet" describing the evenings 3 acts. People can expect more than several props which are recognizable from Sadek's recent videos, such as glowing sulfuric crystals, caves, thrones, and a "elaborate setup for the drums." The show will feature a lengthy overture by a masked surprise female vocalist performing inside a mirrored cube, guitarists enveloped by a web of vines and more. Conceptually, the theme behind the album, will manifest itself in the live setting, petroleum, man's greatest discovery and tragedy will embrace the composition of the visual and aural assault. The performance will also be filmed live.
"Stay brutal and see you on the show!!!
Season of Mist is thrilled to welcome Swedish death metal veterans, NECROPHOBIC, to the roster.
NECROPHOBIC was recently joined by guitarists Robert Sennebäck (DISMEMBER, UNLEASHED) and Fredrik Folkare (UNLEASHED) and is currently writing material for its seventh full-length, which should be released sometime next year.
In the meantime, the band will hit the European roads with fellow label mates MORBID ANGEL and BENIGHTED in November and December.


The schools minister has been asked to look into a council's decision to bring back transport charges for students.
David Laws has been asked to consider whether Northumberland County Council is "discriminating against rural students" following its recent decision to reinstate transport charges for 16 to 18 year olds travelling to schools and colleges with sixth forms.
The council's Labour leaders have hit back at Mrs Pörksen, accusing her of "playing politics" while "staying silent" over the coalition government's cuts to the authority's budget.
Post-16 education transport charges were scrapped by the Lib Dems when they ran the council in 2008.
Yet parents, pupils and politicians from rural areas of the county have accused the council of discriminating against families in such areas, with over 1,130 joining a Facebook group and a protest staged outside an Alnwick school earlier this month.
Parents have asked council and Labour group leader Grant Davey for meetings to discuss their concerns, requests that have been refused due to his busy schedule.
Mrs Pörksen last night said: "It is outrageous that the Labour council will not listen to the people of Northumberland and choose to prioritise non-essentials in the council budget over accessible education for all post-16 students.
"Grant Davey is refusing to meet parents and his own constituents who are campaigning on this issue.
"You only really get one shot at school and college so for the council to sacrifice the opportunities for today's 16 year olds is unacceptable.
"I believe charging £600 discriminates against students and families living in rural and remote areas.
Her request follows Conservative MP Guy Opperman's call for local government minister Brandon Lewis to investigate the legality of the cancellation of a council meeting at which parents were to stage a further protest.
Coun Davey said: "We've said from the outset that we would have preferred not to scrap free post 16 travel but we have to save £130m over the next four years.
"Now it seems both Northumberland Tories and Lib Dems have demanded meetings with their respective ministers.
"Residents will rightly ask why they couldn't make the same noise when their government stripped £130m from the council budget.
The council is still to respond to a request from its Conservative group for an extraordinary meeting in place of that cancelled.


Brenda S. Sims, 54, and Dawn C. Collette, 36, and a 16-year-old from Rochester were charged Monday with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, police said.
Two Canandaigua women and a Rochester teen are accused of possessing 89 baggies of crack cocaine, which Canandaigua police said they intended to sell.
The 16-year-old's name was not identified.
The arrest stems from an extensive co-investigation conducted by the Canandaigua City Police Department and the Ontario County Sheriff's Office into the sale and distribution of crack cocaine throughout the county.
All three defendants were held in the Ontario County Jail without bail.

Q: Bind  with collection to create dynamic  tags I am new to Silverlight. I am trying to dynamically load text from the view model and into TextBlock with a specific word highlighted.
Only logic I can think of is to split the string with a word I want to highlight and load each splits with run tag within <TextBlock></TextBlock> and change the style of <run/> tag you want to highlight.
But I dont know how to do that.
Any code snippet or logic or idea or direction would be helpful.

A: Untested:
<TextBlock x:Name="SampleTextBlock" />

Set the text block:
void SetSampleTextBlock(string[] words)
{
    SampleTextBlock.Inlines.Clear();
    foreach (var word in words)
    {
       var run = new Run { Text = word };
       if (word == "octopus")
       {
          run.FontWeight = FontWeights.UltraBold;
       }
       SampleTextBlock.Inlines.Add(run);
    }

Q: How do I convert a Windows IO completion port HANDLE to a GLib's GPollFD for a custom GSource? I'm in the very unfortunate position of needing to interface nodejs's libuv and GLib's MainLoop on all three major OSes. I need to interleave both libuv's main loop and GLib's maing loop so that both parts of the project can be happy and live together. On unixes, that's easy enough because libuv returns a file descriptor to poll on:
GSource source;
// ...
g_source_add_unix_fd (&source->source,
                      uv_backend_fd (loop),
                      (GIOCondition) (G_IO_IN | G_IO_OUT | G_IO_ERR));

On Windows however, there isn't a file descriptor to poll on. What is available is a IO Completion Port HANDLE, under uv's loop->iocp. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed from here. I was thinking that I should probably be using the following function from GLIB:
void
g_source_add_poll (GSource *source,
                   GPollFD *fd);

But then I'd need to create a GPollFD from that and I'm not sure how to do it or if it's the right option. Any hint that could help me progress is welcome.

(Washington, September 11, 2007) – Human rights groups and advocacy organizations have urged the U.S. Senate to reject the nomination of John Rizzo to serve as General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) because of his stated views on torture.
In a letter to the members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the human rights and advocacy groups cited Rizzo's testimony before the committee in June, during which he said that he had not raised any objections to the August 2002 legal memorandum on torture prepared by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. Even in hindsight, he told the Senators, he does not feel that he should have objected to the memorandum.
Rizzo has served as acting chief legal officer at the CIA on several occasions including the most recent period of July 2004 to the present.
The now infamous "torture memo" has been widely discredited. It sparked an outcry when it came to light in 2004 for both its effort to redefine torture in an absurdly narrow way and for its radical claim that the President, as Commander-in-Chief, need not abide by laws that prohibit torture.
The groups – Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, Physicians for Human Rights, the Center for American Progress Action Fund, and the Open Society Policy Center – urged the committee to reject Rizzo's nomination on the basis of his testimony regarding the torture memo. These organizations rarely take positions on executive branch nominees.
The human rights and advocacy groups noted that other executive branch lawyers risked the ire of their superiors and possibly their careers when they objected to questionable legal theories and abusive interrogations.
"When Mr. Rizzo failed to object to legal arguments that defended torture, he failed to protect his clients – the President, his CIA colleagues and the American people. He compounded this failure by effectively telling the Committee that he would do the same thing again," they wrote. Confirming Mr. Rizzo to this position of trust, they said, would send an extraordinarily negative message to the world.

4.1 Rome during the reigns of later kings.
The Changing Landscape of Ancient Rome. Archaeology and History of the Palatine Hill
Римский университет Ла Сапиенца
Studying ancient - as well as medieval or modern - cities basically means telling local urban stories based on the reconstruction of changing landscapes through the centuries. Given the fragmentary nature of archaeological evidence, it is necessary to create new images that would give back the physical aspect of the urban landscape and that would bring it to life again. We are not just content with analyzing the many elements still visible of the ancient city. The connections between objects and architectures, visible and non visible buildings, which have been broken through time have to be rejoined, to acknowledge the elements that compose the urban landscape. Landscape and its content are a very relevant and still vital part of any national cultural heritage. The course will introduce students to the way we have been reflecting on over the last twenty years and still are engaged with the study of the past of our cities, beginning from the most complex case in the ancient Mediterranean World: the core of Italy and of Roman Empire. On the other hand, knowledge means also preservation and defense of material remains and cultural memory. "The Changing Landscape of Ancient Rome. Archeology and History of the Palatine Hill" presents to a large public the topographical lay-out of the most relevant part of the city (according the Greek and Roman Historians Rome was founded on the Palatine). Research developed on the Palatine since the end of last century by the team of Sapienza Classical Archaeologists opened a new phase in the urban archaeological investigation and in the scientific debate about the relation between archaeological features and literary tradition as well as the "correct use" of both kind of evidence, key issues of wide archaeological and historical significance.
Complete, concise and precise. Very easy to understand and the professor is clear and suited for the position of teaching this course.
Very interesting course and much necessary to continue an interest I have in learning about Ancient Rome. Thanks so much!
New kings before a new State (6th – 3rd century b.c.e.).
Just one hundred and fifty years after the foundation, huts and pebble streets were substituted by more substantial buildings and paved streets. On and around the Palatine, as well as in other districts of the city, Houses and temples resting on squared blocks foundations and covered by roofs made of clay tiles replaced huts. Streets were paved by rock slabs and new drains allowed to keep lower areas dry, even during flooding winter seasons. In year 509 before common era, the king was sent into exile and two young aristocrats declared themselves first annual magistrates of a new State: the Roman Republic. From the 5th to the end of the 3rd century before common era, Rome had to fight to survive and the urban lay-out of the hill is not altered by relevant changes. By the end of this module you will able to: - discuss major changes occurred between the late archaic period, early- and mid- republican phases in Rome - define and identify a certain number of Roman monuments and/or places - identify Late Archaic and early/middle Repubblican artifacts, decorations and building techniques

Q: Does H1 for one tailed test implies H1 for two tailed? Let's say I 'm testing if students improve their mathematical knowledge by hitting them. I want an $\alpha=5\%$, because I will have problems with their parents. I 'm joking, of course... It's just an example.
The mean of their degrees is $\mu_0$ and the standard deviation is $\sigma_0$. I took a sample of students, I hit them all and then I find that their sample mean is $\bar{x}$ with standard error $\sigma_{\bar{x}}$. I find in this case that $\bar{x}=\mu_0+1.8\sigma_{\bar{x}}$.
As I said before, I want to find if the sample belongs to a hypothetical population with mean $\mu$ different (specifically: bigger) than $\mu_0$.
Two questions:

*

*With two-tailed z-test I find that $\bar{x}\in(\mu_0-1.96\sigma_{\bar{x}},\mu_0+1.96\sigma_{\bar{x}})$, so I can't accept $H_1:\mu\neq\mu_0$. But $\bar{x}>\mu_0+1.65\sigma_{\bar{x}}$, so with a one-tailed z-test I find that $H_1:\mu>\mu_0$. How can $\mu>\mu_0$, but not $\mu\neq\mu_0$?

*The $95\%$ confidence interval for the $\mu$ is $(\bar{x} -1.96\sigma_{\bar{x}},\bar{x}+1.96\sigma_{\bar{x}})$, so $\mu_0$ is in that interval. How can be $\mu>\mu_0$?
I believe that I shouldn't use one-tailed hypothesis test in that case. I believe that I should use it if it wasn't possible to have negative effects to the students. The probability of this test is assuming that no negative effects would happen.
Am I wrong? Should I hit myself?
Thanks in advance!

A: Generally a test will never tell us what the truth is. I also think it's bad wording and misleading (despite in pretty general use) to say that any hypothesis or alternative is "accepted" (normally this is used for the $H_0$ by the way, you use it for the alternative, but I think we should avoid it altogether).
Now regarding one-sided vs. two-sided testing: If we test $H_0:\ \mu=\mu_0$ against $H_1:\ \mu\neq\mu_0$, it means that data count as evidence against $H_0$ if $\bar x$ is either much smaller or much larger than $\mu_0$. If we test $H_0:\ \mu= \mu_0$ against $H_1:\ \mu>\mu_0$, it only counts  as evidence against $H_0$ if $\bar x$ is much larger than $\mu_0$. This means that in the first case, evidence against $\mu=\mu_0$ is easier to find. But in order to make sure that only things that are unlikely really are interpreted as evidence against the $H_0$, we have to define an unlikely event under $H_0$. In the two-sided case, because evidence can be found on both sides of $\mu_0$, in order to make our "rejection event" unlikely, we need to make it a bit harder on each side to reject, in order to balance the fact that we have two sides for finding evidence.
If we are willing to assume that in fact $\mu>\mu_0$ (we don't even have to assume this, we could also say that this is the only deviation of interest to us; the $H_0$ of the one-sided test can also be given as $\mu\le\mu_0$) we only reject on one side ($\bar x$ too big), so in order to achieve the same rejection probability, we can reject a bit more easily than if we have to take into account two sides.
If indeed $\bar x$ is so that we reject the $H_0$ in a one sided test but not in a two-sided test, it doesn't mean that we can be sure that $\mu>\mu_0$ but not $\mu\neq\mu_0$ (which of course is a contradiction). Rather it means that we have found an $\bar x$ that is quite unlikely if we have committed ourselves to only look in one direction (and therefore counts as evidence against the $H_0$), but not quite so unlikely if we have allowed ourselves to look in two directions. To some extent this illustrates something that is often said, namely that we shouldn't only interpret tests in a binary "accept/reject" manner. For example, the p-value of the one-sided test may be 0.03 ("reject at 5% level"), and 0.06 for the two-sided test. This will not formally reject but is still quite small.

Sade Adu Bio, Daughter, Husband and Net Worth of The Singer – Song Writer
Sade Adu has brought both the millennia and the generation before to sound with melodious rhythms from her dazzling pieces of jazz, RnB, and soul. She is a British singer and songwriter who leads the popular English band "Sade". Sade carries a subtle yet fierce aura that has shaped her enigmatic appearance over the years. She is known for hits like "Sweetest Taboo" and "Smooth Operator". Like most of her colleagues, Adu has a story to tell about her career. Here are some lesser-known facts about the talented singer.
Sade Adu Bio, Age
Nigerian-born Sade was born Helen Folashade Adu as the daughter of her parents in the Nigerian state of Oyo, where her Nigerian father Adebisi Adu comes from. Her mother Anne Hayes was of English descent. When she was only four years old, her parents divorced and Anne took Sade to England with her brother Banji. She attended Clacton County High School before moving to London to study fashion design at Saint Martin's School of Art. Sade, who has always been fond of music, became a background singer for the British band Pride while working as a fashion designer.

Soon she began to perform her own solo performances under the Pride band and attracted a lot of attention. One of her remarkable solo appearances with the band was Smooth Operator, who attracted the attention of the musical actors. Sade, who had become very popular, split from Pride along with the band's guitarist, Stuart Mathewman, Andrew Hale, and other instrumentalists to form Sade.
After their first gig in the USA, Sade signed a record deal with Epic Records in 1983. The following year she released her first album "Diamond Life", which was a huge success, topping several album charts nationally and internationally. The band's second album, "Promise", was released in 1985 and, like the debut album, was also well received commercially.
The promise became Sade's first album, which reached its peak on the US Billboard. The album had two singles: "Never as Good as the First Time" and "The Sweetest Taboo". The latter, which won almost all music rankings, became one of Sade's greatest hits of all time and brought her great popularity in the industry.
Sade's third album "Stronger than Pride" followed in 1988 and in 1992 the fourth album "Love Deluxe" was released. After an eight-year break from music and the spotlight, Sade's fifth studio album "Lovers Rock" came through in 2000 and became a huge success. After the album's success, Sade received a Grammy for the best pop vocal album in 2002. After another 10-year hiatus, Sade's sixth studio album "Soldier of Love" was released in February 2010 and received many positive reviews from critics. The following year, the band started their Once in a Lifetime tour, which took them to different parts of the world, including Australia, Asia, and America, while promoting the album.
Sade Adu and her band released the single "Flower of the Universe" in 2018 as the soundtrack for the Disney movie "A Wrinkle in Time".

Net Worth of the Singer/Song Writer
The legendary singer sits on an estimated net worth of 75 million dollars. Sade owes her financial status to her music and talent. Sade's lead singer also makes a lot of money through her various sponsorship contracts. She tried her hand at acting in 1986 when she starred in the film Absolute Beginners, an adaptation of Colin MacInnes' book of the same name.
Personal Life – Husband, Daughter
Like many of her peers, Sade Adu has an interesting story to tell from her personal life. As she traveled the universe, Sade found love in the people she worked with and did her best to nurture that love. During her stay in London, Sade had a relationship with Robert Elms, an English writer with whom she lived in Wood Green. It is not clear what came between them, but in 1989 word got around that the singer had married Carlos Pliego, a Spanish film director. The marriage lasted six years, after which the couple parted ways in 1995.
Sade then moved to the Caribbean where she met Bob Morgan, a Jamaican music producer. In their relationship, their daughter Mickalia was born in 1996, and she came out in 2016 as a transgender with the name Izaak. Sade is in a relationship with Ian Watts, a former Royal Marine.

It's no exaggeration to say that our quarter-acre Life Lab is paradise. Situated at the western edge of campus, across the street from a grove of protected Eucalyptus trees where tens of thousands of Monarchs spend each winter, our Life Lab is a special place that calls to the heart of children and adults. In our Life Lab, hearts and minds open in joy and wonder at the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
Featuring garden boxes, a pond, a bio-filtration system, a greenhouse, a wood-fired stove, a teaching gazebo, and seasonal elements such as gourd arbors and fava bean labyrinths, the Life Lab is where our unique Environmental Science curriculum is taught to grades K-5. Our Life Lab instructor, Caprice Potter, is a top-tier expert with over 30 years of teaching experience in the Life Lab. She has served on the Board of Life Lab several times, and under her care our Life Lab program has become regularly featured on the Master Gardener tour and visited by faculty at other schools seeking to launch their own programs.
The Life Lab has a series of unique food feasts through the grades, such as the first day cookie-making by 8th graders, the Salsa Party in 3rd grade, and the Grand Friend's Day lunch in 4th grade. Life Lab is also home to our One World Garden, which produces foods from around the world for the One World Salad that we create to celebrate our diverse community each spring.
During lunch, small groups of students can often be found working in Garden Club, where they collaboratively design their own small garden plots. And sometimes they just head over to eat their lunches and sit in the serene surroundings and natural beauty of the space.

BIG GUS: Tattoo Artist on Hit TV Show TATTOO NIGHTMARES, Painter, Graff Artist, traveler of arts, just blessed to have and do what I love for a living "ART" Big Gus was born and raised in the streets of Los Angeles. His mother was an artist and would always encourage him to draw, paint, and trace as a young child. Big Gus' mother gave him his first set of paintbrushes at the young age of 5 years old. He was only in kindergarten and already painting along side his mother. Unfortunately, his mother passed away when Gus was just 19 years old. All though she is not around any more, her artistic influence on her son still lives on today. Gus has a bit of a dark past, growing up with a ruff crowd and getting involved with gang banging at a young age. He was always painting murals in the Los Angels Riverbed and showcasing his graffiti skills all around L.A. Some of the older OG's saw his skills and sort of forced him to pick up a tattoo machine to ink up the homies. Big Gus began tattooing at the age of 14. He has been a self taught artist his whole life, all though paying close attention to those better then he was to improve on his skills as an artist. But he knew there was more out there for him then gang banging. He wanted to make sure his mother was looking down on him from above with pride. He started tattooing professionally at age 22 out of Distinctive Ink in Pico Rivera. Big Gus began to attend tattoo conventions. He studied and observed all of the different styles and techniques. He became a fan of artists such as Jack Rudy, Joe Capobianco, Freddy Negrete, Paul Booth, Bob Tyrell and so many others. He saw that he could actually use his art skills to make a good living, to travel the world, and to meet other artists from all corners of the globe. He later became friends with these same artists that he looked up to. Some of the respected old school artists like CatFish Carl, Tony Olivas, and Rick Walters schooled Big Gus on the fact that tattooists honoring the traditions and respecting the legacy and talents of fellow artists were becoming a dying breed. He knew that he was part of a new generation of these artists, and it was part of his responsibility to keep these traditions alive. Today Big Gus is a world class and world known tattoo artist. His popular style of fine line, Black and Grey-Photorealism graces the pages of Tattoo Publications in 40 countries. He has won over 300 awards, has his first book coming out soon, and has seen huge success with designs for clothing companies such as Sullen and Tribal. Big Gus is an inspiration to the troubled youth out there. He has sacrificed so much to get where he is now, and he lives a true West Coast OG success story. He is a blessed and talented individual, an extremely hard worker, and I am proud to have Big Gus as my friend. – Jeremy Co Owner of Sullen Clothing
