CALGARY—Another foreign oil company says it's getting out of the Canadian oilsands.
Devon's shares rose by as much as 14.9 per cent to US$32.53 on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday morning, but subsided to $30.69 by mid-afternoon.
The most likely purchasers are large Canadian oilsands companies led by Imperial Oil Ltd., but possibly including Canadian Natural, Husky Energy Inc. and Suncor Energy Inc., he said.
A spokesman for Husky said the company looks at any investment opportunities that arise but had no further comment.
Spokespeople for Imperial, Suncor and Canadian Natural said their policies are not to comment on acquisition plans or speculation.
In 2014, Canadian Natural acquired conventional Devon oil and gas operations in Western Canada for about $3.1 billion.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Wolf Midstream Inc. spent $1.4 billion to buy Devon's half ownership of the Access oilsands pipeline in 2016.

On Saturday, November 14, 2015, we lost Dr. Alphonsus Hui all too soon, age 68.
Alphonsus was not only a much loved son, brother, husband, & father, but he was also:
a trusted family doctor, 40+ years
a most loyal & passionate friend
a tireless volunteer & fundraiser:
educating via & spearheading the "New Life Stem Cell Society"
a talented hobbiest:
singing in choirs
ballroom dancing & fishing
skiing, windsurfing, & playing ping pong, tennis & more
and also, a humble man of faith.
Mass of Celebration was Sat, November 28, 2015

Click HERE for Memorial Program
He is inurned at Ocean View Cemetery in Burnaby.
In lieu of flowers, please consider the
"Dr Alphonsus Z. Hui Fund"
at the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation
Your thoughts & prayers are condolence enough, but should friends desire:
Ensure Alphonsus's legacy of giving back to the community by contributing to his "Dr. Alphonsus Z. Hui Fund" at the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation. The endowment fund at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. aims to help immigrants, as he once was, integrate into Canadian society funds via various social services. Only weeks before his passing, Alphonsus helped usher a $10,000 gift towards the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation, an organization he greatly championed.
Methods to contribute to Alphonsus's endowment fund:
Donate DIRECTLY to the "Dr. Alphonsus Z. Hui Fund" established at the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation, either:
Online @ http://successfoundation.ca/donate
(select "Dr. Alphonsus Z. Hui Fund" under "Legacy Funds")
Mail cheque to " S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation"

Both options above provide for tax receipts from the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation.
Memorial Bench for Alphonsus
GOAL ACHIEVED! THANK YOU!!!
All surplus donations go to the "Dr. Alphonus Z. Hui Fund"
Update: April 17, 2016:
Bench dedicated in Alphonsus's memory at Queen Elizabeth Park.
Thanks to all that helped memorialize Alphonsus with his bench at Queen Elizabeth Park (marked by the yellow star on Google Map). Josephine, Monique, Creighton, & the rest of the Hui family invite everyone to go and visit, remembering our Alphonsus in happiness. Here are a few photos of the memorial bench (with printable map at the bottom):
Previous updates for the campaign are HERE.
Our most sincere thanks for your thoughts and prayers. It's been amazing to see the generosity of spirit in all who knew Alphonsus. It's been a comfort to find out that so many want to remember him to in tributes like the bench & endowment fund. Though bittersweet, this tragedy has reminded us of how truly loved Alphonsus was by not just us, but so many. It is a blessing to know how many he touched.
Humbly with Love,
Josie, Monique, & Creighton.

On Wednesday, March 30, an interactive lecture by Tom Dybsky (a Harvard Business School consultant) was held at Symphony Solutions.
It was one of those thought-provoking events in our Lviv office which makes you reflect and assess your own practices. It was being streamed for our colleagues in Macedonia!
It accumulated and multiplied our learning which was presented back by the audience. Our Macedonian colleagues also participated in the exercised and provided feedback through Skype their answers.
As we had a number of "LEAD" course participants in the audience, so the last part of Tom' lecture was on how to build high performing teams. It stipulated some questions. And one of the tools is… co-learning! We finish on this note. And there will be the whole chapter on co-learning.

Fineliner pen on paper, 51 x 66.5 cm
Winnipeg Art Gallery
Depicting what is dear to her, Shuvinai Ashoona has rendered many drawings of summer camp tents. Family in Tent is an exceptional, early-career example, with a fascinating interior scene of life in camp. Her tent drawings could be as simple as aerial perspectives showing the circular outlines of tents on the tundra or images of sealskin domes in a rocky landscape. Family in Tent presents an inside view, with the mother cooking, the father sipping tea, and the children sleeping. Shuvinai spent almost a decade living in an outpost camp with her family in the 1980s, so camp life is well familiar to her.
In Cape Dorset it is still common for families to spend the short summer months in a tent, enjoying the mild weather and fresh breeze off the bay, often pitching camp not far from the family home. Family in Tent shows an array of supplies necessary for life on the land. Prominent are a box of Red Rose tea, sugar, a quiliq (oil lamp) used for cooking and light, as well as dishes and boxes. The family is in the midst of finishing a meal of "country food"—food they have hunted or foraged—including a skinned seal and bags of clams. On the mother's back there is a baby in the hood of her amauti (woman's parka), and two children lie in bed. The floor of the tent is very rocky, diligently drawn by the artist in great detail. With the exception of the Red Rose box, the scene could be set at any time, reflecting a traditional life camping on the tundra.
Shuvinai Ashoona, Arctic Evening, 2003, lithograph, 57 x 76.5 cm, Dorset Fine Arts, Toronto, and various collections.
The print Arctic Evening was also produced in 2003 and has many of the features of Family in Tent. Indeed, Family in Tent could very well have been the inspiration for this print release. The composition has many similarities. We see the same characters inhabiting the scene. The man is sipping tea while the woman, with a baby on her back, is tending to the quiliq. Country food of clams and fish are in the foreground. Two children sleep soundly, with an empty can of Crush at the head of the bed. Supplies are lined up in the background: Red Rose tea, a carton of cigarettes, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, Pilot biscuits, and toilet paper. In contrast to the drawing, the print is rich in colour: warm yellow, black, grey-blue, and orange predominate. The colour applied by the printer alters the image significantly, giving it a warm hue, perhaps from the light of the setting sun or the dim light from the quiliq.
Shuvinai has been a regular contributor to the Cape Dorset Annual Print Collection since 1997, though sales of her prints are not as robust as those of some of the other studio artists. Perhaps this is because her drawings don't easily translate graphically to the medium of printmaking, or maybe her subject matter is too complex and detailed. It remains that the prints with more contemporary content do not sell as well as traditional imagery, which also may be a stumbling block for her work. Arctic Evening, however, is a successful print and lovely companion piece for the print drawing Family in Tent.
Nancy Campbell has been an independent curator and writer on contemporary and Inuit art since 1993.

Los Angeles airport reveals Delta Sky Way project
Mark Buckshon
Mayor Eric Garcetti has announced the acceleration of the Delta Sky Way transformation project at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), a $1.86 billion project to modernize and upgrade Terminals 2 and 3.
"LAX is a central pillar of our economic strength — part of the connective tissue bringing our city to the rest of the world — and we remain focused on enhancing its infrastructure, strengthening our workforce, and transforming the traveler experience," Mayor Garcetti said in a statement.
The announcement came during a ceremony to celebrate the completion of phase one of the project. Lower passenger volumes at LAX have allowed for accelerated construction, which will allow the Sky Way to open a year-and-a-half early — in mid-2023 instead of late 2024.
The renovations will include a consolidated check-in lobby, security checkpoint, and baggage claim facility as soon as the first quarter of 2022. When fully complete, the state-of-the-art facility will offer expanded security screening capacity, automated security lanes, gate-area seating, and Delta's largest Delta Sky Club. The terminal will also provide connectivity after security between Terminals 2 and 3, which is currently only accessible on foot or via a shuttle bus. By 2023, the improvements will provide better access to the LAX Automated People Mover.
"Even as we confront the immediate crisis of COVID-19, we are accelerating our work to devise a premier airport where visitors are greeted by reimagined terminals, workers land in good-paying jobs, and the city of the future truly takes off," Mayor Garcetti stated.
The Delta Sky Way project is estimated to create roughly 14,000 jobs in the L.A. region, and it will help generate over $2 billion in economic output when completed.

Turing Machine computations are easy to implement on electronic devices,
this happened during the Second World War.

universality was employed by von Neumann (a collegue of Turing's) to construct ad hoc computers and a universal one.
The universal one was capable of performing different tasks depending on a program.
This resulted in what is now called imperative programming, with the C language presently the most widely used for programming in this paradigm.
As with Turing Machines a computation consists of repeated modifications of some data stored in memory.
Difference between our computers and a Turing Machine is that the our computers have random access memory.

'referential transparency' All expressions of a functional programming language have a constant meaning (i.e. independent of a hidden state).

Functions may be arguments of other functions, usually called 'functionals' in mathematics and higher-order functions in programming.
thier use enables the flexible composition of algorithms.

Algorithms can be expressed in a goal-directed mathematical way,
using various forms of recursion and flexible data structures.
The storage bookkeeping of these values is handled by the compiler, leaving the user to concentrate on other things.
To not do this is to bet against the house.

The formalism as defined by Church is untyped. The early functional languages, of which Lisp (McCarthy et al. (1962)) and Scheme (Abelson et al. (1991)) are best known, are also untyped: ARBITRARY EXPRESSIONS MAY BE APPLIED TO EACH OTHER!!!!
Types first appeared in Principia Mathematica, Whitehead and Russell (1910-1913). In Curry (1934) types are introduced and assigned to expressions in 'combinatory logic', a formalism closely related to lambda calculus. In Curry and Feys (1958) this type assignment mechanism was adapted to λ-terms, while in Church (1940) λ-terms were ornamented by fixed types. "λCu ->" and "λCh ->"
Types act in a way similar to the use of dimensional analysis in physics.

The Arch Rivalry Game is the name given to the annual football rivalry between the University of Missouri Tigers (commonly called Mizzou) and the University of Illinois Illini. The always-anticipated football game historically kicks off each new season with two powerful rivals from opposing conferences meeting in the first week of the season.
Week one of the college football season always has fans eager to dive into their favorite college football season. Unfortunately for rabid fans, the first week of the season is mostly filled with blowouts, as top-tier teams typically schedule much weaker opponents in the first two or three weeks of the season to allow their programs to gain momentum as they head into the all-important conference. . tables throughout the heart of the regular season. Football fans from across the country are marking their calendars and following the home opener between the Mizzou Tigers and the University of Illinois, which is typically one of the best opening weekend games in terms of opposing programs.
The Arch Rivalry game (officially sponsored by an insurance giant) is played over Labor Day weekend, which is the first weekend in September. The Mizzou football program is a member of the Big 12 Conference, which is consistently ranked as one of the top football conferences in the country. The University of Illinois is also a proud member of the dominant football conference, although not the Big 12. The University of Illinois is one of eleven teams in the Big Ten Conference.
The game Arch Rivalry takes its name from the shared site where the game is played. While the University of Missouri is located in Columbia, Missouri and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, the two schools begin their college football season in St. Louis, Missouri, located halfway between the two campuses. . The University of Missouri is 125 miles west of St. Louis and the University of Illinois is 185 miles northeast of St. Louis. The Arch Rivalry nickname is a play on words with the historic St. Louis Arch. The annual football game is actually just a few miles from the St. Louis Arch at the Edward Jones Dome (home of the St. Louis Rams) in downtown St. Louis.
Fans and alumni of both schools look forward to the annual Labor Day weekend trip to St. Louis to watch their alma mater during the holiday break that marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall.

Are you stuck in a chain? We here at Home House Buyers can help you break the chain once and for all and allow you to move into your dream property.
We speak to many vendors on a daily basis who are fed up with the open market as they are stuck in a chain and not able to purchase their next property. Sometimes these chains can be four of five links down meaning you are you needed every simple person in the chain to be approved on their finance and for each to not experience a hiccup along the way. This is not only highly unlikely, but it's also makes moving house a very stressful experience as you don't know if you are actually going to complete.
With the housing market being slow in some areas people are being forced to spend long periods of time on the market. Many feel there only option is to accept an offer from someone who is stuck in a chain. We here at Home House Buyers say there is another solution to being stuck in a chain and that is to sell to a quick house buyer like ourselves. We can offer you a completion with 14 days and we pay all the fees in the process.
Even if you are stuck in a chain with your commercial property then we can help by putting forward a cash offer on whatever commercial unit you have as we buy: – shops, flats, farms, pubs, offices, shed, plots and also land.

As one of the three members of the New York Fast Food Wage Board, I had the privilege of announcing our historic recommendation: $15 an hour for fast food workers.
Over the course of two months, I heard stories from hundreds of fast food workers from all across the state. Stories of poverty and barely making it despite doing their best, and it was downright devastating. The emotion and reality of the poverty was overwhelming. One brave woman said, "Democracy should not be synonymous with poverty."
She was right. When did it become okay in America for corporations to treat workers as commodities?
Fast food cooks and cashiers work irregular hours (rarely more than 25 per week). They can't seek another job because they are always on call. They can't get more hours because of the corporate computer modeling of staffing, making them invisible as people.
The hearings gave them a voice. And we responded.
Governor Cuomo deserves credit for empowering this board to fulfill the true mission of government: stepping in when the private sector fails to serve the common good. Now it's time for other elected leaders in cities and states across the nation to follow Gov. Cuomo's lead and take action to raise wages to $15 for all working people.
Read the opinion article Byron Brown, Kevin Ryan, and I - all three members of the Wage Board - published following our recommendation.

A complete dry food with the bonus that it is hypo-allergenic. With selected protein source (fish), it is a dietetic food, excellent for the reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerences. We suggest that the food be tried for a period of 3 to 8 weeks. If the signs of the food intolerance disappear, continue feeding indefinitely.


We humans are "hardwired" to crave and rely on human contact. Unlike, for example, a turtle, which hatches from a buried egg and is on its own from that moment on, people depend on other people for survival.
Brain experts explain this "wiring": early human beings lived in small, interdependent groups. To survive and thrive, individuals needed to be finely attuned to their fellow tribesmen, so the part of our brain that controls communication is very large and developed. Just as humans have a built-in desire for food, water and sleep, we also have a deep need to connect with other people.
Deprived of engagement with others, human beings experience a condition that is damaging and distressing: loneliness. Loneliness can be a debilitating, distressing condition for humans. Consider that prisoners can be controlled with the threat of solitary confinement. And most people can identify with the scene in the movie Cast Away where Tom Hanks, marooned on a deserted island, creates a "companion" by drawing a face on a volleyball that has drifted ashore.
Experts on aging have long suspected that socialization improves physical and emotional well-being, increases mental alertness and encourages a more active lifestyle. New research studies confirm these benefits and more, pinpointing the mechanisms behind the protective properties of human interaction that lessen the risk of Alzheimer's disease, promote heart health, improve symptoms of depression and minimize the effects of stress.
A UCLA study demonstrated that loneliness decreases the efficiency of the human immune system. Study author Dr. Steven Cole says, "The biological impact of social isolation reaches down into some of our most basic internal processes—the activity of our genes." Several other studies also confirm that people with strong social connections exhibit stronger immunity against disease.
University of Chicago researchers showed that loneliness is linked to high blood pressure. Stress seems to be a key element of this connection. Author John Cacioppo points out that lonely individuals are less likely to approach stressful situations with "active coping and attempting to problem solve," and this leads to a hypertension-promoting passive reaction. For humans, discussing one's problems with someone else is an instant stress buster.
What about brain health? An American Academy of Neurology study examining stress and dementia confirmed that people who are socially active may be less likely to develop cognitive impairment. And Harvard School of Public Health researchers showed that an active social life slows memory loss. In another University of Chicago study, MRI scans confirmed the negative impact of loneliness on brain health.
Physical activity is frequently called the number one ingredient for healthy aging—and social connections promote increased exercise. According to the International Council on Active Aging, one of the main predictors of maintaining a senior fitness program over time is the good old "buddy system." So keep yourself motivated, and surround yourself with other people who will support your fitness goals.
Depression is one of the most common challenges of growing older. Interacting and engaging with others is a powerful depression fighter. The American Sociological Association examined the connection between depression and feelings of loneliness, finding that the two are intertwined. Untreated, depression can cause a senior to withdraw from social engagement—but it is important to remember that spending more time with others can help "jump start" recovery.
Physical pain unfortunately becomes more common with age. A Harvard Medical School study showed that maintaining social connection with others can be an important tool in decreasing the impact of pain by reducing stress and depression. People who are dealing with the challenges of chronic pain also report the positive effects of participating in support groups.
Gerontologists have long known that social isolation is a big risk factor for malnutrition. A Universite de Montreal study found a clear correlation between nutrition and social interaction. Seniors who live alone often say that it is "just too much trouble" to fix a nutritious meal for one, and they may skip meals or get in the habit of snacking on junk food. This can lead to a serious weight loss—or, in some cases, to obesity, when a lonely person turns to food for companionship.
It may seem paradoxical, but socialization with a large number of people has also been shown to have a positive impact on our primary relationships. An article in the AARP Bulletin pointed out that "even though Americans are closer to their spouses than ever before, that kind of intimacy can work against us if we allow ourselves to 'cocoon' within the relationship." In the same way, too much reliance on the parent/child bond can strain that relationship, even when parents and children are the kind who describe each other as "best friends." Seniors who socialize not only with family members but also with their peers have better emotional, intellectual and physical health.
Yes, as we grow older, it takes a little more effort and more planning to stay fully engaged with life, but the rewards are great. For most people, socialization is as important as physical activity. It is worth it to make the effort, make a plan, to add more socialization to your life!

Nothing definite is known about the life of St. George. The date of his martyrdom is usually considered to have been in the 3rd century AD. St. George was originally an eastern saint and his cult spread westward from its source in LYDDA. Sometime between 1222 & 1415 St. George of Cappadocia was adopted as the patron saint of England. St. George has also been equated with St. Demetrius of Thessalonica.
There are marked similarities between the characteristics of St. George and those of St. Michael
The main legend associated with St. George concerns his slaying of the dragon and the rescue of the princess, Sabra or St. Margaret

2:31 p.m. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is off nearly 100 points Tuesday—but don't call it risk off.
It's not just the S&P 500 is little changed at 2,867.22, while the Nasdaq Composite has gained 0.2% to 7,844.65, even as the Dow has dropped 83.69 points, or 0.3% to 26,174.73 (we can blame Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) for the disparity).
Instead, look at the performance of the Invesco S&P 500 High Beta ETF (SPHB) and the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV). If it were a risk-off day, we'd expect to see the Low Vol ETF, which holds the market's least volatile stocks, outperform High Beta, which owns the most volatile equities. That's not the case, however. Invesco S&P 500 High Beta ETF has gained 0.2% to $42.60, while the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF is little changed at $52.72.
Can you say risk on? Well, at least a little bit.


Yes, searchers "click on the ads" when they use search engines. And yes, PPC advertising works. But only when done right. Why do we think you need a world-class PPC agency to handle it? There are a lot of variables to consider in an effective PPC marketing campaign. Take match types, for example. Three of the five match types in Google AdWords can have your ads showing up against literally an infinite number of user queries (yikes, if you're paying for ineffective clicks).
One of those match types is often a huge source of problems. And finally, there is one match type that helps you filter out inappropriate queries, but in itself, it has three sub-match types and must be used with the correct strategy. The permutations are potentially endless: unlimited keywords, the need to optimize landing pages, the need to choose among multiple types of ad rotation, how to predict searcher intent, the need to understand where in the buy cycle buyers are, and much more.
For the past 12 years, we've been delivering solid PPC campaign management services to clients across Canada & the US. We have a few clients in the UK and around the globe as well!
Only advertisers who skillfully optimize every campaign segment will succeed over the long term.
Just showing up isn't good enough to maximize volume and ROI in this channel. You need experts on your side to help you win the paid search marketing game! Contact us today for a free quote.
We design customized PPC campaign strategy for your company, and iterate & perfect it over time. We never employ cookie-cutter approaches.
Most advertisers start with Google AdWords, but Bing Ads and other platforms round out the strategy.

Welcome to the third in our series on alternative lending. Previous installments have covered the basics of alternative lending and the ways traditional lenders are responding. This post looks at the areas where the most opportunity seems to lie for banks and credit unions who want to compete in this space.
If you were to ask Larry Summers, the former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, where the greatest opportunities rest in alterntive lending, his answer would likely be two words long: Small business. Summers has gone so far as to predict that eventually, alternative lenders could capture 70 percent of the small business lending market.
"This is a challenging time for the American economy," Summers was quoted as saying in Inc. "The conventional financial sector has, in important respects, let all of its main constituents down over the last generation, and technology-based businesses have the opportunity to transform finance over the next generation."
A difference in the language each side uses when talking about technology.
Given that these differences exist, the next logical question is "How can a credit union solve them?"
Strategies Are Emerging to Take On Alternative Lenders. What's Yours?
I recently wrote a post looking at the relatively new phenomenon of alternative lending. Today's post looks at how banks are responding as alternative lenders start to see success.
In a recent survey, just seven percent of banks said they felt alternative lenders posed the greatest threat to their business. But that doesn't mean some traditional lenders aren't responding.
The responses banks and credit unions have come up with fall into two broad categories: competing with alternative lenders head-on, and investing in them.
And some traditional lenders are doing nothing. So far.


I seem to have a tendency to forget about concluding travel posts (case in point, my major travel trip in 2012).
This was our last day in Melbourne however we had plenty of time before our 8pm flight. First stop was breakfast at the QVM which was a stone's throw away.
Bratwurst with a ridiculous amount of sauerkraut.
We headed to the Melbourne Museum because it was free for students!
This was a little creepy, I have to admit.
I don't know why, but the story of Phar Lap has always stuck with me. It is probably one of the few things - if not only thing- that I remember from Year 8 history. I think I also learnt something about mini skirts ... perhaps. Oh and watching the mini series Vietnam in class (Nicole Kidman looks nothing like that now. Quite funny).
Lunch at a random place in Chinatown. Plastic tasting dumplings.
We caught the airport bus from Southern Cross station and it reminded me an awful lot of the stations in Europe.
And that is the end of all my Melbourne posts. I guess I should put the standard two questions.
Now, the age old debate: Sydney or Melbourne. Truth be told, I don't have an opinion. To each their own. When it comes to major cities, I don't really understand the debate on which one is better because the way I see it, they are different in their own way and suburbs are almost always the same. I feel like Sydney feels busier, but is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Personally, I'm not a big fan of big cities. A few people told me that they think that Melbourne is quite European, but I don't really see it. Melbourne feels like the love child of Philadelphia and Chicago.
Not particularly. When I have a family - and granted that I am still in Sydney - I would probably visit as it is super close.
This was my day as I had done most of the planning. We headed to Brighton Beach to do the coastal walk to St Kilda.
On the train, it was quite overcast however when we got off the skies were starting to clear up. It was a pretty boring walk. Also a long easy walk at at around 10 km and it was so windy!
Lentil as Anything is a series of pay what you can, not for profit vegetarian restaurants in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. The restaurants wholly rely on the generosity of their patrons, volunteers and suppliers to operate, receiving no government or church funding. Patrons are asked to "pay what they feel" the meal, service and beverages are worth by contributing an amount of their choice into a box at the counter.
On our way to Luna Park, we passed by some very tasty cake and pastry stores. I picked up a cherry crumble which tasted very funny; it tasted like the artificial cherry flavour in cough medicines.
I wanted to stop by Luxbite before we headed back to the CBD. The desserts from Luxbite weren't that sweet! I really liked the Lolly Bag Cake. The green tea cheesecake bothered me since I am not a fan of buttercream (however it isn't stated in the description...) and I'm not a big fan of macarons, but Endless Love was too pretty to not get!
For the last night, we switched hotels to one further north in the CBD as it was quite a lot cheaper than staying at the Victoria Hotel. We also got upgraded!
View from the room. Right next to the QVM.
On our way to Queen Victoria Markets, we stopped at Larder Section for breakfast.
Chai Latte. I have yet to find a chai latter which is amazing.
Berlin Breakfast ... not sure why it is Berlin.
My old friend told me that I should avoid the Queen Victoria Markets as it is even tackier than Paddy's Market in Sydney. But I actually really enjoyed it! The souvenirs were meh but I was very interested in the food and their fresh produce. There was also a van making fresh jam filled donuts which was amazing.
We had been eating a lot of crap during our trip so we decided to head to a juice bar; Tropicana Juice Bar.
South American Delight (juice). It tasted like a Calipo which was very odd.
We headed up to the Eureka Tower however it was quite overcast.
I find that Melbourne is very flat.
For the day of our actual anniversary, A. treated me to dinner at San Telmo , an Argentinian restaurant.
The food was quite nice! Although the waiter wasn't very friendly. Sure, we didn't fit in with the demographic but the guy was a little short with us, and cold. Very impressed with my camera (I use a p&s) in the extremely dim lighting. Since we were still a little hungry (but we I didn't want to pay $20+ for a dessert), we headed to La Petite Creperie for our crepes!

Canadian Medical Protective Association supports appropriate use of artificial intelligence in healthcare
OTTAWA, August 14, 2019—The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) led an engaging discussion on Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare today in Toronto during its Annual Meeting and Conference. During the session, CMPA members and stakeholders were given a sense of the current state of the AI/Deep Learning technology and its potential application in healthcare/health research.
Dr. David Naylor, Professor of Medicine and President Emeritus, University of Toronto, outlined some of the advantages and pitfalls of AI in the health realm, including its current and future applications to practice. Dr. Hartley Stern, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer at the CMPA, reviewed the medical-legal implications of AI in healthcare. These presentations set the stage for an engaging question and answer period on AI's potential influence on medical practice.
Dr. Naylor advocated for a well-considered approach to incorporating AI in healthcare, including evaluating the appropriateness of AI tools, and exercising judgment in clinical decision-making. Both Drs. Naylor and Stern emphasized that the objective of using AI-based technology should be to enhance patient care and complement the physician-patient relationship – not replace physician decision-making.
"Physicians are encouraged to understand the relationship between Deep Learning and related data sciences so they can make the best possible use of AI systems," said Dr. Naylor. "This rapidly developing technology has tremendous potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance access to care."
"As AI applications continue to improve, the healthcare industry will undergo a significant shift," said Dr. Stern. "The CMPA urges governments, regulators, and industry to put in place the appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks to support safe adoption of AI and we are eager to contribute to this process. In addition, we will continue to support physicians by providing advice to minimize medical-legal risk as they adopt or are impacted by AI technologies."
From patient care to clinical research, AI applications are revolutionizing healthcare delivery and contributing toward safe medical care. The speakers emphasized that AI is still developing and has yet to be widely adopted. While evidence about the effectiveness and reliability of the practical applications of AI continues to be limited, there are promising opportunities for healthcare. Both speakers concluded that effective AI adoption requires a well thought-out and balanced approach.
For further details, please see Can I get an [artificial] second opinion? on AI in healthcare. More information and resources are available on the Association's website or by request.

Mt Kosciuszko
Image 1 - The magnificent view from the peak of Mt Kosciuszko
I gave the idea of writing a blog about Mt Kosciuszko much thought, before finally surrendering to the patriotic idea that I owed it to Australia's highest geographical point to at least write something. After all, the peak of Mt Kosciuszko provides wonderful panoramic views from the 'rooftop' of Australia. However, I am somewhat used to the solitude of bushwalking and it took a little while to adjust the large volume of pedestrian traffic from Thredbo to the peak. It is obviously Australia's most walked track, so an article written would simply be one of the many that already exist, and as everyone has seemingly walked the track ...
Walk Rating: Easy to Medium. 13.5 kilometre round walk on a defined metal grate boardwalk across undulating gradient. There are some reasonably steep sections, particularly the last one before 'summiting' the peak.
Direction: From Canberra, drive to Thredbo via Jindabyne. The car journey is around 2 hours and 30 minutes, but it is generally a little longer if you stop for coffee or refreshments. Once at Thredbo, you can either walk from the township to the top of the main chairlift, aptly named 'Eagles Nest', or do what the majority of people do -- ride the chairlift -- and commence the walk from Eagles Nest. The 13.5 kilometre round walk is from Eagles Nest, not the Thredbo Village.
The Walk: Having previously walked from Thredbo Village to Eagles Nest via Merrit's Nature Trail, we made the decision to save our legs purely for the majestic high country that meanders through the splendor of Mt Kosciuszko and its surrounds -- meaning, we took the chairlift!
The chairlift itself is a relaxing and peaceful ride from bottom to top. The slow gain in elevation allows the surrounding landscape to unfold into full view -- unless of course you have a height or chairlift phobia, in which case the final 'lunge' near the top takes you to a dizzying high point over the final tower before slowing for imminent arrival at the disembarkment point. It is a phobia made more challenging as, at this stage, the final chairlift tower takes you to the highest point on the ride, but shortly after (and I mean shortly after), you are required to lift your safety bar (the only thing stopping you from plummeting to the rocky slopes below) and prepare to disembark. I'm led to believe that they haven't lost anyone yet.
After disembarking from the chair with the usual nudge from the chairlift on one's backside, I stumbled to a very unmajestic halt in front of a dozen or so people who were nearby preparing for the trek to Mt Kosciuszko. They also seemed to be recovering from their own ungraceful ejection from the chairlift.
I put on my best manly look, stood up straight, adjusted my backpack, got the camera out and at the ready, and headed up the walking track on my way to Australia's highest peak.
The track starts as all do when you're in a national park - a sign with a list of rules. After scanning the list, I commenced the walk, remembering the important things when in a national park: take out what you bring in, no camping unless authorised, no naked flames on fire ban days, don't pick the native flowers, keep to the track etc.
The group I was with began their ascent, backpacks filled with supplies for the arduous journey ahead (Image 2). After a short while, I had gone a little ahead of the group I was with, which allowed me to take some photo's and apart from capturing the majestic high country, it also showed the true extent of the popularity of the walk (Image 3).
Although there were a lot of people enjoying the walk, I still managed to capture some images that showed the natural surrounds onlye (Image 4)! Picture successfully taken, I pushed on.

Above - Orange Billy Button.
There were sections of the walk that were truly invigorating, surrounded by small running streams, large numbers of wildflowers, small flowering shrubs and granite outcrops in all manner of configurations (Images 5, 6, 7 and 8).
After only 1.5 kilometres, you come across the Mt Kosciuszco Lookout. This is a great alternative if you don't have the time to walk the entire way to Mt Kosciuszko or for those who are not overly mobile. The lookout provides great views, taking in the immediate surrounds, with Mt Kosciuszko in the background and, if you look to the north-east, you will see a small stone hut, which is Seamans Hut (Image 9).
As you progress further towards Mt Kosciuszko, you begin to see a the effects of a high-altitude area that is exposed to extreme conditions. There were moments during the journey that I felt like we were on Mars, such was the barren and stark nature of the landscape (Image 9). But, when you looked more closely, the ground was covered in an array of low-lying vegetation that was obviously thriving in this environment.
We passed by the Kootaptamba Lookout as there was a large number of people there at the timer and, shortly after, were rewarded with some wonderful views of Lake Kootapatamba, proving that the lookout is not the only place that offers views. This lake is a leftover from many thousands of years ago, when a glacier carved its way through the area, leaving behind a defined valley and a small glacial lake. If you study the landscape closely, you can see the gouges and scrapings in the hard granite, which were caused by the unstoppable and slow march of a giant frozen volume of water (Image 10 and 11). I hope my high school geography teacher reads this - who said I never paid attention in class and was always prone to look out the classroom window daydreaming?

Image 9 - Seamans Hut as viewed from Mt Kosciuszko Lookout. Note: Telescopic lens on my camera used to take this photo, not the Hubble telescope pointed to Mars.
After passing the majestic Lake Kootapatamba, we came to an intersection in the track, to the left being the final 'ascent' to Mt Koscisziusko and, to the right, to Seamans Hut. I weighed up whether to take the right turn and go down to Seamans Hut (a mere 3-kilometre round journey) or just continue up to Mt Kosciuszko. Together with my wife,we and shot off down the hill to the hut, yelling back to part of our group: "Meet you at the top". They are used to me doing this so just rolled their eyes and continued the 'hard' slog to the summit.
The walk down to the hut is all on a defined vehicle access track and, in no time at all, we had arrived at the hut. (Images 12, 13 and 14). When you come across huts like this, you always wonder about why the hut was built. This is clearly not farming or grazing land.
The hut itself is a well-built and maintained stone hut, but unfortunately had been built following tragic circumstances. In 1928, two skiers - Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes - perished after being caught out in a blizzard. Seaman's parents funded the construction of the hut to provide shelter for those who may be caught in similar circumstances in the future. The hut's construction was completed in 1929, and there is now a memorial board on the wall inside the hut providing details of its history and the ill-fated skiing trek of Seaman and Hayes.
Just as sombrely, there is also a memorial board for four young men who died very near the hut in 1999. The four were adventurous snow boarders but were also caught in a blizzard, and perished from exposure.
We said farewell to the hut, and commenced the gradual climb back to the track intersection and to hopefully meet up with the remainder of our group.
Image 12 (above) and 13 (below) - Seamans Hut sits sentinel like at the foot of Mt Kosciuszko.
We got back to the track intersection and it's worth mentioning the toilet block in the middle of emptiness! Surely it must dissapear under the snow during winter, only to emerge in Spring like a butterfly from a cocoon. It is an exceptionally well- maintained and clean toilet block, so a big well done to the National Parks of NSW. I'm sure there have been many relieved walkers, because they are forbidden to relieve themselves without having to take their business with them.
There was even a National Parks Ranger who had driven up for the day. This reminded me of the list of rules I had read at the start of the track, and the one in particular about taking your rubbish with you, with some amusement. This rule proved to be one that went largely ignored, and I was to find out that, due to the amount of rubbish left by people at the peak, each day a ranger would come out, rubbish bag and pick-up prong in hand, and collect all that had indeed been left behind. I could imagine that a job like this would wear thin after a while, and this was confirmed when my walking buddy Daz (the friendliest and most easy-going person on the planet), greeted the ranger with a pleasant hello, and an observation about having the best job in the world (after all, we were on the rooftop of a nation, so what an 'office'). This was not the case, judging by the gruff and terse reply I fully understand how frustrating it would be picking rubbish up left by others).
Daz licked his wounds from the scournful thrashing, mumbling that he dare not leave a sceric of rubbish behind and pittying the next firendly walker who sort to interact with a National Parks Ranger (joking, the Ranger really wasn't that bad).
We continued our trek onwards and, after another kilometre, arrived at the highest geographical point in Australia. We found a pleasant place to sit and stopped for some refreshments, whilst taking in the grandeur of our surrounds. No matter which direction you looked, the view seemed to go on forever across mountain tops that changed a different hue of blue the further away they were (Image 1).
I mentioned earlier that it seems like nothing could ever grow in this baron landscape, and this seemed especially so at the peak of Mt Kosiuszko, where it was not only stark, but very windblown and no doubt would be consistently experiencing the worst of the four seasons. But once again, I was surprised to find native flora growing, albeit ground huggingly low to the ground. On closer inspection, the plant had even begun to flower, although I did have to use my macro lense to get the photo of the small flower (Image 15).
After finishing our refreshments, a few from our group wanted their photo taken, whilst standing on a stone cairn about 1.5 metres in height - they told me this was the true highest point in Australia but I was happy with my feet on the ground. Besides, I conjured up images of me attempting to climb to the top of the cairn, falling, crashing to the ground (mumblings of 'silly old fool' from onlookers at this stage) and a large number of the crowd having to then carry my injured body back to Eagles Nest, their grumblings becoming more prenounced the further the carry.

The bravest amongst us climbed to the top and struck various poses for the camera (Image 16). Then it was time to head back and we all started the long haul back down the hill with a lasting impression of the panoramic and sweeping views.
On the trek back down, I slowed my pace and really took in the surrounds. There was a wonderful array of wildflowers and I stopped to photograph as many as I could (Images below). On arriving back at Eagles Nest, we jumped onto the chairlift and white kuckled our way back to the bottom. Although exhausted with having summitted Australias highest peak, we thought it would be a wonderful way to end the day by having a quite and reflective drink by the flowing Thredbo River (Image 17). Before setting of that morning, I'd placed some mexican chicken fillets in the slowcooker and by the time we returned, it was melt-in-your-mouth stuff. The Canadian of our group provided some Milson Canadian beers, which went down a treat.
Although not a walk far away from the crowds, this remains one of the must do walks and given the set-up of the boardwalk, is a very achievable trek for most.

Are age spots a necessary component of growing older, or can they be avoided? See more pictures of skin problems.
It's happened to many of us -- one day you notice a mark on the back of your hand that wasn't there the day before. You're worried because you know the condition of your skin is important for both cosmetic and health reasons. You want to look good and feel well, and you understand that how your skin looks is vital to both of those goals.
So what is this mystery spot? If the mark is oval-shaped, flat on the skin, and a shade of brown, black, or gray, it might be an age spot [source: Mayo Clinic].
Age spots, or solar lentigines, are a common condition [source: Mayo Clinic]. They can appear in clusters or as a single mark [source: American Society for Dermatologic Surgery]. Age spots are sometimes called liver spots, which might lead you to believe that they are connected to the health of your liver. At one time, it was believed that age spots were a sign that one's liver wasn't performing as it should, but we know now that age spots don't have anything to do with liver function [source: Medline Plus]. The term "liver," however, is often still used to describe the color of some age spots, which are usually brown.
The spots can range from the size of a freckle to almost a half inch (more than 1 centimeter) across. Although they aren't dangerous, age spots can be unsightly, and they won't go away by themselves [source: Mayo Clinic].
The good news is that many age spots can be prevented. Or, if it's too late for prevention, they can be treated in a variety of ways. And though some treatments require professional medical care, other remedies can be purchased over the counter at your local drugstore or even whipped up at home in your kitchen.
Read on to find out what causes age spots, and what can be done to prevent or treat them.
Are age spots caused by aging? Aging itself is a factor, but variables such as ultraviolet radiation exposure and genetics also play a part [source: Mayo Clinic].
Although adults older than age 40 are more likely to have age spots than younger folks, it's usually sun exposure over many years, rather than aging itself, that's the primary cause [source: Medline Plus]. If you've spent a lot of time in the sun, your skin has probably sustained some damage from ultraviolet rays. Though a suntan might look healthy, it's not -- too much sun is harmful to the skin. The skin contains melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin, which helps protect the skin from the sun. Melanin gives skin its color, but extra melanin can result in age spots.
Sometimes as people get older, their bodies produce extra melanin as a result of the aging process. Generally, though, excess melanin is caused by frequent exposure to the sun's UV rays. That's why areas of your body that get the most sun, such as the face, hands and neck, are most often the location of age spots. Intense sun exposure and sunburn are known risk factors for developing age spots. Keep in mind that tanning beds are not a safer alternative, because they also generate harmful UV rays and a similar effect on your body as the sun does [source: Boyles].
Genetics also play a part. Some people are genetically inclined to develop age spots.
Also, if you've inherited fair skin, you are more prone to developing age spots than people with darker skin because your body is used to producing melanin to protect you [source: Mayo Clinic].
What steps can you take now to prevent age spots in the future? Read on to find out.
Though age spots aren't dangerous and don't require medical treatment, some changes to your skin can spell trouble. Have your doctor or dermatologist check out any new dark spots, especially ones that have quickly changed or grown, have an uneven border, or have combined different colors. These could be signs of melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer [source: Mayo Clinic].
If you find yourself with age spots, whether they're from sun damage or an unlucky gene pool, there are several types of procedures that might help reduce their appearance. The options are available at a wide variety of costs.
Many people first turn to their neighborhood pharmacy. Bleaching cream is available there without a prescription. It's usually inexpensive, but it could take months to make an age spot fade. There's also the possibility that the cream could bleach the area around the spot more than the spot itself, drawing even greater attention to it. A doctor can prescribe stronger bleaching creams. While using any bleaching cream, make sure to always use sunscreen as your skin might be extra sensitive [source: Mayo Clinic].
Cryotherapy, or freezing, is another option. Liquid nitrogen or a similar agent is applied to the age spot in order to destroy the unwanted skin cells. When the skin heals, it appears lighter than before. Be warned that there is a small risk of permanent scarring or discoloration with this method [source: Mayo Clinic].
Resurfacing treatments include dermabrasion, which seeks to sand down the top layer of skin, which is eventually replaced by new skin. The treatment actually wounds the skin to generate new skin growth, so its recovery period can last for days or even more than a week [source: American Academy of Dermatology].
Chemical peels are another resurfacing method that can fade age spots. Acid is applied to the skin, burning off the epidermis, or outer layer. After the old skin is peeled away, new skin slowly forms. Chemical peels can target just the surface layer, requiring several treatments, or it can target deeper layers, which require fewer treatments but have a longer recovery period [source: American Academy of Dermatology].
Laser treatments are one of the most effective -- and most costly -- treatments. The lure of laser therapy is that it can get rid of the extra melanocytes without harming the outer layer of the skin. Repeated treatments are usually required to achieve the desired effect [source: Mayo Clinic].
Know that insurance companies rarely pay for these kinds of procedures because they are usually considered elective or cosmetic instead of medically necessary. Also, make sure that your treatment is being administered by a professional with proper training and experience.
Read on to learn about how food and flowers can be used to try to lighten age spots.
Microdermabrasion: $75 to $300 per treatment.
Chemical peel: $600 to $900 per treatment.
Laser treatments: $300 to several thousand dollars per treatment, depending on the type of laser used [source: Bernstein].
Bleaching agents, acid peels and treatments using high-tech machinery can be a little intimidating, not to mention very expensive. They can also leave you with irritation, redness or worse. So where can you turn to try remedies that are less expensive and less abrasive?
The solution could be as close as your kitchen. Everyday products in your fridge and pantry might be less irritating than commercial products, and they are almost certain to be less expensive. Some people swear by their results. Below are some of the top home remedies.
Lemon juice has long been used in an effort to lighten a number of things, including hair and freckles. Try putting lemon slices or juice over your age spots every few hours. The juice might help bleach the skin to a lighter color [source: Hamptonian]. Similarly, you also could try laying slices of potato on your spots to see if it helps.
Other remedies that people have tried include applying vitamin E to the spots, rubbing on a mixture of onion and apple cider vinegar, or blending dandelions into a paste and applying it to the spots [source: Hamptonian]. Be aware that some of these ingredients might cause irritation or allergic reactions, so use them with caution.
As with many home remedies, these treatments aren't an exact science, so you probably shouldn't expect very noticeable or quick results. You also might need to repeat any remedies many times over, whether natural or not, before you see results. And you should discontinue the use of home remedies if you notice skin irritation.
For even more information, be sure to check out the links on the next page.
If you're using lemon juice to lighten your age spots, you might consider this idea. Mix lemon juice with a bit of sugar or salt and rub the mixture onto your skin. Not only may the lemon juice help lighten the skin, but the salt or sugar will act as exfoliating particles [source: Hamptonian].


Healthy eating is critical in managing stress effectively. Diets primarily made up of fast foods, junk foods and pre-packaged meal have minimal nutritional value and are loaded with additives. They poison your body and intensify stress levels. Your goal must always be to eat healthy. Eat Well! Stay Well! Live Well!

Pennsylvania Casino Revenue for August Shows Some Surprises
by Rick Rockwell
On Monday, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) released the revenue numbers for casino tables games for the month of August. The PCGB also released the figures for slots and fantasy revenue for the same month.
Tables Games Revenue
For August 2018, Pennsylvania tables games revenue decreased 1.33 percent over August 2017, coming in with $73,281,370. Revenue for the same month last year was $74,269,815.
For July, the reported total tax revenue from the state's average of 1,275 table games in daily operation came to almost $11.78 million.
Slots Revenue
Two weeks prior, the board published the numbers for July's total gross revenue from slot machines from the state's 12 casinos. At $201,729,431, it came in 4.4 percent higher than the gross revenue total for August 2017, which was $193,190,477.
In August this year, an average of 25,511 slot machines were in operation throughout the state as compared to 25,814 in August last year.
Fantasy Revenue
For the second month in a row Pennsylvania failed to bring in $1 million in adjusted revenue from fantasy sports contests. August's revenue from this sector was $943,620, slightly more than July's revenue, which was reported as $878,185. Of that revenue, almost all of it was brought in by the DFS big names DraftKings and FanDuel.
Of that amount, 15 percent goes to the state as taxes, for a total of $625.7 thousand dollars.
Top 3 Revenue Casinos for August
Parx Casino in Bensalem came led the state in revenue generated by slot machines and was second in revenue from table games. Slots revenue was up 8.57 percent year over year, bringing in $34.8 million. Table games saw an increase of 8.39 percent since August last year, for a total of $17.4 million. Overall, the casino had $52.2 million in total revenue, which was an increase of 8.51 percent compared to August 2017.
Sand's Casino Resort in Bethlehem was the runner-up for revenue generated by slot machines and led the state in revenue generated by table games for August. Slots brought in $25.75 million, an increase of 2.48 percent compared to August 2017. Table games revenue was $18.78 million, down 6.35 percent from August last year. Overall, the revenue for Sand's Casino was down 1.43 percent compared to August 2017, for a total of $44.4 million.
Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh came in at third for revenue generated by slot machines and fourth for revenue generated by table games. Slots brought in $23.6 million, an increase of 6.29 percent from August last year. Table games revenue also went up, by 15.67 percent, bringing in 6.4 million. Overall, the casino enjoyed an increase of 8.16 percent in revenue compared to August last year, with a total of $29.97 million in revenue.
What's missing from these numbers is sports betting. And the reason why there's no sports betting numbers is because none of the state's casinos have started taking any sports bets, despite this being the most popular time of the year for placing wagers on sports. PA's high sports betting taxes and licensing fees, protested regulations and a lack of overall foresight have really hampered this state from racking up the sports betting revenue.
However, after a few months of protest, there are now some casinos willing to entertain the higher fees and taxes in order to capitalize on the amount of money that can be made from football season. I would imagine that these gaming revenue numbers will increase not only this year, but when compared to the same month in 2019, once sports betting is fully operating. Although it's a small part of a casino's overall revenue, sports betting does bring more gamblers to the casinos, which increases overall spending at the tables and slots.

If you're not satisfied with the frame, then choose the best picture you want from the frame list and add it to the picture list. Set "Picture Interval" and click "Previous Page" or "Next Page" button to browse more frames.
If you choose "Direct Export", then a dialog box pops up to let you rename the picture and choose the output folder to save it directly.
If you want to batch capture pictures and output them directly in one step, jump to Step 4.
Firstly, set the batch capture way on the right panel: averagely by time, averagely by frame numbers, randomly by frame numbers.

There're three ways to output pictures: direct export single frame, direct export frames in batches and export from the picture list.
Long press the button below the player, and choose "Direct Export" to export the current frame directly. Or you can drag the current frame from the player to local directly for saving.
The three buttons at the right bottom of the main interface are respectively "Export Picture", "Export Animation" and "Export HTML". You can use the three buttons to export captured pictures directly.
Choose the video file to capture picture, and set the batch capture way, then click the "Export Picture" button (the first button) at the right panel to open "Export Picture" dialog, then set "Picture Format" and "Export Location" option to export the captured pictures directly.
Or click "Export Animation" button (the second one) to open "Export Animation" dialog, set the "Export Mode", "Each Frame Delay (Second)" and "Export Location" option to export captured pictures as animation.

It's Tharoor vs Digvijaya in 'friendly contest' after Gehlot bows out
Last updated on: September 29, 2022 17:23 IST
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is scheduled to submit his nomination papers for the upcoming All India Congress Committee presidential elections on Saturday.

As per information, Tharoor will visit 24 Akbar Road, the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, at 12.15 pm tomorrow.
He will subsequently hold a press conference at 1 pm at his residence on 97 Lodhi Estate (opposite the Airforce Bal Bharti Public School).
Meanwhile, senior party leader Digvijaya Singh, another contender for the topmost position in the party, will also file his nomination tomorrow between 11 am and 3 pm.
Tharoor welcomed Singh's candidacy and said that both of them have agreed to consider it a friendly contest.
"Received a visit from @digvijaya_28 this afternoon. I welcome his candidacy for the presidency of our party. We both agreed that ours is not a battle between rivals but a friendly contest among colleagues. All we both want is that whoever prevails, @incIndia will win!," Tharoor tweeted.
Notably, another prominent contender for the party president's post, Ashok Gehlot, recently announced that he will not contest the elections.
"I met Rahul Gandhi in Kochi and requested him to fight the polls (for Congress president). When he didn't accept, I said I'll contest but now with that incident (political crisis in Rajasthan), I have decided to not contest the elections," Gehlot said.
Gehlot's remarks came after the veteran leader met with the party's interim chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence at 10 Janpath in the national capital.
The Rajasthan CM further apologised for the ruckus in Rajasthan triggered by his loyalists over a possible leadership change in the state after Gehlot was set to file his nomination papers for the Congress chief's election.
Gehlot said that whatever happened in the state in the past two days had shocked everyone.
On asked if he will remain Rajasthan CM, Gehlot said, "I won't decide that, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi will decide that."
"One-line resolution is our tradition. Unfortunately, a situation arose and that resolution wasn't passed. It was my moral responsibility (to pass the resolution), but despite being a CM I couldn't get it passed," he added.
Talking to reporters, Gehlot said the party works under the Congress president and decisions will be taken in time to come.
He said Congress workers worry about the direction in which the country is heading and tackling that issue was more important.
