Halydean Leading Farm Industry Environmental Improvements
EINPresswire.com -- CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Oct 24, 2016) - Halydean Corporation, a privately held dairy and beef farm investment group, is leading the agricultural and farm industry in waste water treatment efforts, which may be big business. Halydean announced it is beginning trials with a U.S.-based environmental company that specializes in water treatment. If trials are as successful as expected, Halydean will be marketing the products to the agriculture industry in the US and internationally.
This technology makes environmental improvements for farms, improving quality for animals and workers. This corporate statesmanship also reduces the costs of manure handling while increasing capacity of a farm's fertilizer storage.
This environmental company has developed new, natural technology with biological and mineral additives that degrade animal waste onsite. They have completed trials in conjunction with a respected American university where their technology proved successful, degrading manure and increasing clean water that can be utilized to water fields. Their technology converts animal waste to clean water while retaining the nutrient value found in the waste, making it available for irrigation and fertilization. Their technology also makes it possible to optimize bio-availability of nutrient levels, at exactly the right moments, helping farms meet EPA standards for land application.
This environmental company has a 20-year record in all segments of the water industry, having developed important natural technologies to clean recreational water, as well as wastewater, and is currently completing development of a natural potable water product that will reduce the demand for synthetic chemicals in treatment of drinking water. This new potable water product will add to their numerous scientific compositions already in use in water treatment.

Private Money for Public Infrastructure?
Did you see the very interesting Insight piece by Paul Wells last Sunday in the Toronto Star? Entitled "Chasing Trillions to Build Billions in Infrastructure," it described the efforts now underway by the Trudeau government to use private funds to help the Liberals fulfill their massive infrastructure promises.
Apparently, Finance Minister Bill Morneau and his Advisory Council on Economic Growth, appointed in March, are devising plans to encourage private pension plans and other large institutional investors to invest their billions of dollars for infrastructure projects. The Advisory Council includes Michael Sabia, former federal civil servant and current head of Quebec's $250-billion pension fund, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and Mark Wiseman, former head of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and now senior executive at BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. His company controls assets of $5 trillion.
These large institutional investors are frustrated by how their funds are languishing with historically low, or even negative, returns. To pay their pensioners and give their investors a better return on their funds, they need secure investments that will guarantee a reliable return which reflects actual, if reduced, global growth rates. The government needs funds to finance its infrastructure plans. In this communality of interest, there may be the means to achieve significant future action.
As Michael Sabia describes the proposal. there would be "an infrastructure bank funded in part by government capital." Its mandate would be to design big infrastructure projects, or a "pipeline of projects," to attract institutional investors from Canada and abroad. The object is to create a "multiplication impact" so that "every dollar of federal commitment triggers, say, four or five dollars from people like us." The bank would require the authority and expertise "to structure and negotiate transactions in a highly expert way," and the ability "to audit our national needs for infrastructure and… develop a national infrastructure plan."
Already, a prototype "proof-of-concept" is underway. In 2015, the Quebec government changed the law to enable Sabia's Caisse to create a subsidiary, CDPQ Infra, "to foster effective execution of major infrastructure projects." In April 2016, CDPQ Infra announced plans for a $5.3 billion automated light-rail transit system with 24 stations on 67 kilometres of track west and south of Montreal and into the downtown core. As Wells says, "it would be the biggest transit project in Quebec in half a century." The plan is for CDPQ Infra to put up $3 billion, and the federal and provincial governments to split the balance of $2.5 billion. This "mixed funding model" is to be matched with an "aggressive plan to generate profits through rider fares, paid parking and second-order private investment like commercial development at transit hubs." The plan is to market this model worldwide to attract institutional investors and apply it to a range of infrastructure needs from transit to housing to electrical distribution, as Finance Minister Bill Morneau says, "to anything that we can find a way to appropriately create an opportunity for institutional investors."
Wells reports that Justin Trudeau met BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at Davos, Switzerland, last January, and that on November 14th, BlackRock will host a day-long conference in Toronto where major international investors can consider the concept. Trudeau, Morneau, and Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi will speak at that event. In the meantime, a team of senior civil servants working under Serge Dupont, seconded temporarily to become deputy-clerk of the Privy Council (Canada's second highest ranking civil servant), has been working on the issue with Trudeau's senior policy analyst Michael McNair and other staff in the PM's office. Apparently, the new public agency is tentatively called the "Canada Infrastructure and Investment Bank."
Watch for further developments. This could prove very interesting. If you missed Paul Wells' very informative analysis, you'll find it on the Toronto Star's website. It's well worth the read.

Former SEC Official Reveals why He Thinks Ripple Has a Good Chance of Winning SEC Lawsuit over XRP
Shine Li Feb 05, 2021 06:24 2 Min Read
Joseph Hall, a partner and lawyer at Davis Polk law firm, thinks that Ripple has a good chance of winning the legal case the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has built against XRP cryptocurrency.
The SEC lawsuit against Ripple Labs for the sale of XRP as unregistered securities has been a huge topic of conversation in the crypto industry. Many people familiar with the talks have speculated on the potential outcome, but whatever it may be, it will inevitably have a huge influence on the sector.
Hall, who previously served as a senior policy official at the SEC, may have a better knowledge of how things operate at the Securities and Exchange Commission as a former employee. He disclosed in an interview with "Thinking Crypto" recently that the SEC's lawsuit against XRP comes as a surprise even to him. Hall said that a judge reviewing the case may likely conclude that XRP sold by Ripple had not posed any "imminent investor harm," like the SEC is implying.
Hall added:
"The judge might say, 'If XRP was a problem, you've known about XRP since 2012. Why now? What is going on here?' I think we start out with the XRP case with a factual posture that may not be the best for the SEC. So I think that there's a good chance – I can't give you a percentage on that – I think there's a good chance that the SEC loses this one."
The David Polk partner disclosed that if the SEC lost the case, it will diminish the authority the agency has over the crypto industry in the future. This may not be a great thing, as many in the crypto sector have already voiced their disapproval of how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the United States. Many have criticized the SEC for not establishing a clearer regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
Hall indicated that federal securities laws put in place by the SEC were designed to protect investors and act in their best interest. However, with the innovation in the crypto industry and its dynamic nature, regulating digital assets with current policies may prove to be a hefty task. Hall said:
"I think there are some interests that the US federal securities laws are designed to protect that would make sense here. You just have to be very thoughtful about what kinds of requirements you put on this industry."
Previously, Hall had published an article indicating that the Ripple case highlighted the need for SEC clarity on cryptocurrencies. He had suggested that there may have been a disagreement on commissioners' part on whether to serve Ripple with a lawsuit over XRP, as the suit was served just as former chairman of the SEC, Jay Clayton, was exiting the agency.

HomeHealth19 Statistics About The Drugging Of America That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe
19 Statistics About The Drugging Of America That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe
February 18, 2014 TFD Health 1
The American people are the most drugged people in the history of the planet. Illegal drugs get most of the headlines, but the truth is that the number of Americans that are addicted to legal drugs is far greater than the number of Americans that are addicted to illegal drugs. As you will see below, close to 70 percent of all Americans are currently on at least one prescription drug. In addition, there are 60 million Americans that "abuse alcohol" and 22 million Americans that use illegal drugs. What that means is that almost everyone that you meet is going to be onsomething.
That sounds absolutely crazy but it is true. We are literally being drugged out of our minds. In fact, as you will read about below, there are 70 million Americans that are taking "mind-altering drugs" right now. If it seems like most people cannot think clearly these days, it is because they can't. We love our legal drugs and it is getting worse with each passing year. And considering the fact that big corporations are making tens of billions of dollars peddling their drugs to the rest of us, don't expect things to change any time soon. The following are 19 statistics about the drugging of America that are almost too crazy to believe…
#1 An astounding 70 million Americans are taking legal mind-altering drugs right now.
#2 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, doctors wrote more than 250 million prescriptions for antidepressants during 2010.
#3 According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug. An astounding 20 percent of all Americans are on at least fiveprescription drugs.
#4 Americans spent more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs during 2013.
#5 According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans that are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month.
#6 There are 60 million Americans that "abuse alcohol".
#7 According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 22 million Americans use illegal drugs.
#8 Incredibly, more than 11 percent of all Americans that are 12 years of age or older admit that they have driven home under the influence of alcohol at least once during the past year.
#9 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is an unintentional drug overdose death in the United States every 19 minutes.
#10 In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined.
#11 According to the CDC, approximately three quarters of a million people a year are rushed to emergency rooms in the United States because of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs.
#12 According to Alternet, "11 of the 12 new-to-market drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration were priced above $100,000 per-patient per-year" in 2012.
#13 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.
#14 Many of these antidepressants contain warnings that "suicidal thoughts" are one of the side effects that should be expected. The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 rose by close to 30 percent between 1999 and 2010. The number of Americans that are killed by suicide now exceeds the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year.
#15 In 2010, the average teen in the United States was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs. Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression.
#16 Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are.
#17 A shocking Government Accountability Office report discovered that approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug.
#18 A survey conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that more than 15 percent of all U.S. high school seniors abuse prescription drugs.
#19 It turns out that dealing drugs is extremely profitable. The 11 largest pharmaceutical companies combined to rake in approximately $85,000,000,000 in profits in 2012.
In America today, doctors are trained that there are just two potential solutions to any problem. Either you prescribe a pill or you cut someone open. Surgery and drugs are pretty much the only alternatives they offer us.
And an endless barrage of television commercials have trained all of us to think that there is a "pill for every problem".
Are you in pain?
Just take a pill.
Are you feeling blue?
Do you need a spark in your marriage?
And most Americans assume that all of these pills are perfectly safe.
After all, the government would never approve something that wasn't safe, right?
Sadly, what most Americans don't realize is that there is a revolving door between big pharmaceutical corporations and the government agencies that supposedly "regulate" them. Many of those that are now in charge of our "safety" have spent their entire careers peddling legal drugs to all of us.
We have become a nation of drugged out zombies, and it is all perfectly legal. The funny thing is that many of these "legal drugs" have just slightly different formulations from their "illegal" counterparts.
If more Americans understood what they were actually taking, would that cause them to stop?
Perhaps some would, but for the most part Americans are totally in love with their drugs and giving them up would not be easy.
Just ask anyone that has tried.
So what do you think about the drugging of America?

Wow…now im depresed! Seriously tho, if people would just stop giving in to what is easiest solution as apposed to adding effort into whatever it is they are seeking relief from by taking pills. Are you depressed, try exercising and/diet changes. Oh but that requires effort, time and maybe a little lifestyle change. People are just lazy for the most part. Even when offered many many alternatives they still just want to go to a Dr and get pills. I know this because I know a Dr who has told me himself that he cant believe how many of his patients just ask him to prescribe for them whatever pills it takes so they dont have to change their lifestyle i.e. patient has high chloresterol. Dr says, here, follow this new way of eating, follow this minimal exercise plan and check back in 8 weeks. Patient says, cant you just prescribe Crestor or something like that, I saw a commercial about it! Omg people, wake up. Take responsibility for your own healtb and we being.

That seemed to be the marching order Stallion Arrowhead gave to his Band tonight as the sun set on the North Dakota Badlands. You can see him bringing up the rear as he moved his family from the flat top down to the bottom where they will hopefully tuck in for the night. The wind is howling as I get ready to call this a day and a spring snowstorm is fast approaching the area. It will last for 24 hours and then is expected to blow out of here. Prayers for all the horses and especially the 6 brand new babies that are patiently waiting for spring to actually arrive here! For all of you who may not realize it, this is Blaze's former Band and I can't think of a better young Stallion to have stepped in to look after his family. I remember the day Arrowhead was born back in 2010 and my heart swelled with pride tonight to see how confident and competent he is as a Band Stallion! He was taught by his daddy Embers who was an absolutely outstanding Stallion back in the day! So…as we wait for this final storm to pass, enjoy this look at a day in the life out in beautiful Theodore Roosevelt National Park and look forward to more to come!

How To Play High Score Darts (Easiest Dart Game For all Players)
Are you looking for a very simple and beginner-friendly darts game? If so, there are few games that can tick this box better than high score darts.
The objective of high score darts is very specific – to score more points than your opponent. High score darts are similar to count up darts with one key difference, it's doesn't matter how many points you have at the end of the game, the only thing that matters is making it to a predetermined number before your opponent.
If this sounds like the kind of game for you – a flat-out race to the finish – then read on to learn how to play high score darts with some simple tips and tricks that can be used by anyone.
High Score Darts Rules and Scoring
How To Play High Score Darts Game
High Score Darts Example Game
High Score Darts Tips
High score darts is a game that requires 2 or more people to be played. Each player will play individually.
Before the game starts, there will be a predetermined score that players will be aiming to achieve. Every player will get three darts per turn. When they throw the darts, they will get the number of points that they land on to go towards their score.
Example: When a dart lands on a single, it will be worth the number of points for the segment landed on. If they land on a double, that number will be doubled, and if they land on a treble they can multiply the number by 3.
Players will take turns until someone reaches the predetermined high score making that player the winner of the game.
High score darts is a very simple game. There are no special rules to make the game complicated. Follow the instructions below for a fun round of high score darts.
Start by choosing a predetermined high score that players will be trying to reach throughout the game. A common score is 1000, but this is up to you. If you want a quick game, go for a lower score. However, if you want to have a longer dart game, choose a higher total score.
To determine which player goes first, each player should throw a dart at the dartboard. Whoever hits the bullseye (or closest to it) will be the first player to take their turn.
Write down every player's name on a scoreboard to keep track of the score. Try to jot down their names in the order that you are playing to make it easier for everyone.
Each player will have three darts to throw per round. They do not have specific segments to aim at when throwing the darts. Their goal is to try and land the darts on the highest spots. Players should aim for doubles and trebles to reach a high score first.
All three darts thrown by a player during their turn will count towards their score on the scoreboard. Players will not be docked any points if a dart misses the board.
The game will continue to play with each player taking their turn in a predetermined order. The first player to achieve the high score will win the game.
Let's take a look at an example game so you have a better understanding of how high score darts works. In this round, there will be 2 players.
Both players decide on a predetermined high score of 1000.
Player A and B both take a turn to throw a dart at the dartboard. Player A lands closest to the bullseye and gets to take the first turn.
Player A has 3 darts. The first one lands on a single 20, the second one on a double 16, and the third one on double 18. Player A scored 88 points during the first round.
Play B throws their 3 darts. They land the first one on a 19, the second on double 18, and the third on double 20. They receive 95 points this round.
Player A goes for a second round, and lands on single 20, double 20, and treble 19. They receive 117 points this round, bringing their score up to 205.
Player B takes their turn and lands a single 16, treble 18, and treble 20. They score 130, which brings their points to 225.
Player A takes their third turn. They land on single 18, double 19, and double 20. They score 96 points, which brings their total to 301.
Player B goes and they land on double 16, double 18, and treble 20. They receive 128 points, bringing their score up to 353.
The game continues to go in this fashion until one player reaches 1000 points. Each player will be aiming to hit doubles and trebles to get a high score.
If a player lands on the outer bullseye, they will receive 25 points. If they land on the bullseye, they will receive 50 points.
There is no set rule for finishing the game of high score darts, and if a player scores higher than 1000 points (or the predetermined score), it will count as a win.
Winning high score darts is very simple, reach the game score before your opponent. This means the main strategy is to score more than your opponent so a focus on higher numbers and trebles is crucial for success.
You also need to be consistent. This may sound obvious but if you hit a score of 60 every throw, you'll finish the game on your 17th throw. If however you throw for the single 20 but miss with a single dart each throw scoring 45, it will take you until your 23rd throw to finish the game.
Despite 60 not being an overly high score after 3 darts, it will always win playing against an inconsistent player averaging 45 points per throw. Therefore, play for consistency first and foremost rather than trying to hit big numbers but missing.
Not all dart games need to be serious or practice-specific, there are some that are just played for fun or simplicity, high score darts are one of them.
If you need a very simple game that's ideal for beginners or a small group of players then high score darts are perfect. The objective is a race to a specific score and all you need to do is score more than your opponent – and faster.
If you like fast-paced dart games that involve a race to the finish, you should also check out:

Sometimes we need to say "No thank you".
This is where petitions can be very helpful.
Petitions were highly influential in abolishing slavery.
Today petitions can be used to change the world.
You can feel empowered, that you make a difference.
You can always be an activist, a defender of rights.
This may start in your heart and spread into the world!

Always, always keep on campaigning. Keep on campaigning. Keep on campaigning.
Yet simultaneously step back and celebrate the level of debate that's going on - because the apparent disaster is not going on silently. There are huge arguments, there are huge debates, there are huge pushes to get appropriate legislation in.
Battles will be lost. Apparently wars occasionally will be lost. But keep on campaigning and keep your eye on the fact that it's a hot subject – and that's to be celebrated. Nobody is going through all this apathetically.

A pesar de la promesa de sus padres, Meg vuelve a sentirse humillada, sobre todo cuando en una reunión de pijamas, Lois se apunta y les propone jugar a la botella al mismo tiempo que revela algo que deja a las demás extrañadas, sin embargo la cosa no queda ahí: pilla a su hermano espiando tras el sofá y Peter baja por las escaleras medio desnudo. Finalmente, cuando Meg cree que las cosas no pueden empeorar, sus amigas huyen despavoridas de casa cuando en mitad de la noche todas (incluida Meg) oyen a Peter y Lois teniendo una tórrida velada, precisamente, justo después del clímax, las chicas descubren que Chris las estaba espiando mientras dormían.

Al día siguiente decide vengarse de tantas humillaciones sufridas y lleva (i.e engaña) a su familia a un talk show en el que no son conscientes hasta última hora de que los protagonistas del tema del día son ellos, allí mismo Meg demuestra la disfuncionalidad de su familia cuando el comportamiento de estos deja de desear. Tras el espectáculo montado, el productor del programa se interesa por ellos al creer que serán un gancho para la audiencia por lo que llega a un acuerdo con Peter para realizar un programa tipo Gran Hermano para ver la vida cotidiana de los Griffin para malestar de Meg, quien harta de las cámaras, abandona el programa. Los productores creen que la marcha de Meg no supone una gran pérdida y acuerdan con sus progenitores remplazarla por una adolescente atractiva. Meg decide seguir adelante con su vida hasta que descubre que la "nueva Meg" la ha remplazado incluso en el instituto. Es entonces cuando Peter y Lois les confiesa que al estar atados de pies y manos por el contrato se vieron obligados a aceptar a la nueva Meg y hacer creer a la audiencia que se trata de la verdadera. Tras sentirse traicionada, Meg reniega de su familia.

Mientras se acostumbran a la pérdida de su hija, la sustituta de esta roba el protagonismo. Finalmente visitan al productor y les comunica que si no vuelve Meg, ellos harán lo mismo, por lo que son sustituidos por otros actores: Tom Arnold y Fran Drescher como Peter y Lois respectivamente, Philip Seymour Hoffman como Chris y las gemelas Olsen como Brian y Stewie. Por otro lado Meg es ajena a lo sucedido, puesto que empieza a deambular de casa en casa hasta que comprende que su sitio está con sus progenitores, por lo que vuelve a casa, pero descubre que estos han sido forzados a trasladarse a un motel hasta que el reality termine. De pronto, cuando Lois da por perdida a su hija, recibe la sorpresa de que ha vuelto por lo que vuelven a reconciliarse. El episodio finaliza con los Griffin viendo el programa mientras Meg, en su diario llama a sus padres "idiotas" aunque admite sentirse feliz hasta que de repente, Stewie cambia la anotación del diario por "quiero matarlos a todos", probablemente como venganza por arruinarle la oportunidad de seguir en cámara.

Referencias culturales
 El reality show de los Griffin es una parodia del programa The Real World. Tras ser sustituidos por actores, estos recrean una escena del episodio Death Has a Shadow
 El talk show al que Meg lleva a su familia es una referencia a varios programas similares como The Jerry Springer Show y Mentiras peligrosas en las que, bien los presentadores o los productores insultan a los invitados para que estos reaccionen de manera violenta, un ejemplo son las reacciones de Peter y Lois, siendo esta última la que responde ante una agresión verbal de la misma manera.

Recepción
En 2009, Ahsan Haque de IGN publicó una crítica en la que puntuó el episodio con una nota de 9,9 de 10 a la vez que consideraba el episodio como un "clásico instantáneo" y "uno de los episodios más divertidos y creativos de la serie".

Thanks to all who greeted Matt and Stephanie upon their arrival in St.John's yesterday.
Their afternoon started with NTV reporter Jodi Cooke meeting them on the highway and shooting a story for last night's NTV News. They are pictured here front and center leaving the Aquarena en route to the Running Room where the group doubled in size and they took a few minutes to address the crowd. Finally all converged on City Hall for a welcome from Councilor Tom Hann and a photo shoot for The Telegram.
Matt and Stephanie will rest up for a few days before continuing their 1 year journey around North America raising funds and awareness for positive environmental action.


Twenty five years after topping the charts globally with the single 'All Around The World' and ten years after the release of her last album, the Grammy nominated, multi-BRIT, Ivor Novello and Silver Clef Award winner – the Rochdale singer who can boast sales of nearly 20 million records and a string of international top 10 hits – is back looking and sounding better than ever.
With new album 'Seven' hitting number 13 in the UK album charts and a big tour ahead of her, we thought it only right to feature local girl Lisa on the glossy pages of VIVA! So before our photography team kidnapped the music icon for the afternoon we sent VIVA Ems down to Cicchetti to have a bit of a chin- wag with the lovely Lisa Stansfield.
VIVA EMS: So Lisa, your new album Seven came out end of last year, it hit number thirteen in the charts. Were you happy with that?
LISA: It was absolutely incredible.
VIVA EMS: It's been ten years since you released your last album. What have you been doing?
LISA: I did quite a bit at acting and an awful, awful amount of writing. Just constantly writ- ing all the time. Writing songs and coming up with ideas and stuff like that. I wasn't just sit- ting in bed for ten years eating chocolates. I suppose it's all been leading up to this album, really. It's been preparation for this. It took a lot of time but hopefully it's worth the wait.
VIVA EMS: Have you been mostly based locally or have you been away living abroad?
LISA: We were in New York for a while and we just got a place in LA. So some of the first things we did on the album were done in New York, in our wardrobe – well like a walk-in closet. We just set up a whole vocal room in there. We had sound proofing and I glued all the sound proofing into the wall. We're good at amending.
VIVA EMS: We've actually been to your studio in Rochdale, to interview the Sticks when they were rehearsing there.
LISA: Yeah, we did most of the recording in Graceland for this album!
VIVA EMS: I read somewhere the reason it's taken so long to get this album to come out is that you really didn't fit in anywhere. Why was this?
LISA: Just because what was going on at the time wasn't really what I was into. I think that when there's a predominant genre of music at a certain time, if you're going to try to put something that's different out there you may as well just flush it down the toilet because nobody is going to want to listen to it. But, when the mood is right and when everyone is receptive to a certain thing, then that's when you go in and you attack.
VIVA EMS: How long did it take you and Ian (husband) to put the album together? Was it a long process or did you decide to do it over the last year?
LISA: Well it was weird because we were writing for so long. We were constantly making lists and rewriting the lists. This is a good track, that's a good track or not, because they were songs. So really, in the very end, it was very quick what we did and we did most of it at Graceland. We did some of it in London but most of it at Graceland.
LISA: One of our best friends, Andrew, he'll get drunk in the evening and he'll text me at two a.m. telling me, 'You're a genius. I'm listening to The Rain.' and I'm like, steady on love.
VIVA EMS: Ha ha! Is that about Manchester because it's always raining here?
LISA: No. Well actually, it's funny because we were in New York. There's a really lovely bar called Finelli's and it's on Mercer Street. You know the Mercer Hotel. So we would always go there and it was absolutely p*ssing it down. You know when you get stuck there and if it's four o'clock in New York, you can't get a taxi anywhere, because they all change shift at the same time. So from four til five you can't find a taxi anywhere. So we were just stuck in Finnelli's in the rain and that's kind of what we did with the idea. And I said, "How come everywhere we f**king go, it rains?" We even went on holiday to Barbados for two weeks, when it was supposed to be the sunniest time and it p*ssed it down for two weeks.
LISA: Maybe that's why we write music. Because we never see the f**king sun.
VIVA EMS: Another one of my favourites is "Stupid Heart." You've had a few tracks in the past that have been on soundtracks and, for me, that tune would be on a soundtrack. Do you see any potentials for a soundtrack?
LISA: That's something we have to potentially approach. It's so amazing when you can get a song in a film.
VIVA EMS: This album is about a lady who is kind of trapped in love. So you could make a film out of your album?
LISA: Well that's the sort of thing I'm try- ing to do, in a way. We're doing vignettes and such. In the end, we really want to release a DVD with films of all the tracks.
VIVA EMS: Oh wow, that sounds like it's going to be amazing! Do you just think of characters and the songs come around it?
LISA: I think things just pop into your head and at first they don't make sense. You just start singing, and then you think, 'What the f**k does that mean?' You have to make sense of it yourself out of your own head. At the end you go, 'F**king hell, I'm really weird aren't I?' It's sort of like being your own psychiatrist.
VIVA EMS: Ha ha! So tell me about act- ing. You've done quite a bit! Do you prefer that to singing?
LISA: I really enjoy it. But no, It's really nice to go between the two because you never really get bored. VIVA EMS: I know you have recently been featured in a locally made film called Northern Soul, what's your character all about?
LISA: Yeah, we watched it for the first time the other night. It was so good. Well, I play the main character's Mum. It's quite ironic really because I'm the Mum who wants to be the upright citizen with every- thing squeaky clean. So she encourages her son to go to the youth club because he never goes out. He just sits with his Grand- dad at home and does really boring things. So he agrees begrudgingly and I'm like, 'YES. I'm so glad he's going to the youth club.' and then he just gets into all sorts of trouble.
VIVA EMS: Talking about some localness and bands and such, a lot of the big bands have gotten back together in the last few years, like Happy Mondays and Stone Roses. I know that your influences growing up were Barry White and Marvin Gay. Were there any local bands that inspired you or you wanted to be in?
LISA: I think I was really always influ- enced by American soul, you know. That's what my Mum played in the house when I was little. It's always there; it's in your soul. So no, I wasn't really influenced by anyone around here. I do love The Happy Mondays and Stone Roses though. They're absolutely brilliant. I met Ian Brown the other night, because he came to the film. He is so lovely. He's one of those people who you think – and I think I'm probably a bit like this – people think I'm very cold and aloof. He's like me, he's really happy and really nice.
VIVA EMS: You've always been quite a stylish woman. I mean you set the trend for the legendary curl, didn't you!
LISA: Ha ha I don't know if I did that but if you have your own personal style, I think the trick is not to try too hard because sometimes it's f**king awful when you try too hard, like when everything matches! Women get the shoes dyed to mass their dress and they're going to Ascot!
VIVA EMS: Have you got any favourite designers?
LISA: Literally, if I like something it can be high street or it can be troll. It can be anything. I think that if you're going to wear a jacket that costs two thousand pounds, it doesn't matter whether you're wearing a Gap tee-shirt or not. It's what you see when you try it on in the mirror and not think too much about what other people think of you. If you like it, then it's good for you. I've got a brilliant guy work- ing with me at the moment and we've become really good friends. He's called Johnny Blue Eyes and he's an amazing thinker and he's very innovative. He's a stylist and he does his own performance art. He's incredible as a stylist. He's like bang, bang, bang!
VIVA EMS: You've got the new tour starting soon, are you excited?
LISA: We did quite a bit last year, as well. So we're kind of back in the swing of things. We tested things out and it all went really, really well. We're not just go- ing to do all the new music but a mixture of old and new. I think it's really cruel if people pay a lot of money to come see you and you just play things they've never even heard before. That's not nice to me.
VIVA EMS: Well, it's always on the encores that everyone breaks out into the old skool classics isn't it!
LISA: Yeah, of course. That whole tactic ha ha!


More than half – 53% – of the students enrolled at UIS for the 2008 spring semester are taking at least one course online, and more than 30% are taking classes only online.
In fact, the number of UIS students taking online classes has increased each semester for the past 20 semesters. Reporter Chris Dettro took a look at the subject in an article than appeared in the April 24, 2008, State Journal-Register.


We'd like to start off this week's newsletter with a huge congratulations to the winners of this year's Imagine Cup, smartARM. They have created a robotic hand prosthetic (backed by Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Cloud Storage in Azure) which calculates the most appropriate grips for objects. Read about it more here.
You also may notice some slight tweaks to the colour scheme of this week's newsletter. After receiving an email from Steve Lee from OpenDirective, we tweaked the colour scheme to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Thanks Steve!
A few other articles worth taking a look at this week: Michael Hansen talks about running the Open Source project Gadgetron in Kubernetes in Azure, Joseph Sack highlights an interesting Azure SQL Database case-study in Pearl Abyss: Massive Scale using Azure SQL Database, and John Downs conquers a problem that may have affected quite a number of us, with the blog Avoiding Cosmos DB Bill Shock with Azure Functions.

An interesting resort with a village atmosphere, Cala'n Porter stands on a hillside offering stunning views. The beautiful little cove at Cala'n Porter can become crowded during July and August. It's situated on the southern coast, between 16km and 12km west of Mahon.
Take a relaxing boat trip - catch some sun, make new friends, and enjoy the wonderful vista of Minorca from the waves.
Cala'n Porter has a cliff-sheltered cove with a sandy beach, accessible either by stairway, with a fair number of steps, or winding road. This is the busiest beach on the island Lots of bars and watersports. .
You can grab the essentials locally, although there is much more in nearby Mahon.
There are plenty of bars to chose from, and if you feel like a later night, head to the famous disco in the Caves of Xuroy, the most spectacular nightclub on the island set in a series of natural caves with spectacular sea views.
There is an adequate choice of Spanish restaurants and some fast food available.


I would like to buy a rudder kit for my 19ft kayak, preferably the gas pedal type that is a solid footbrace for the heel while the rudder is activated by pushing with the toes. If you go to www.struer-sprintboats.com you can see the olympic K1 made entirely of wood that won the 1996 Olympics at about 13mph for 500 meters. Interesting to hear them explain how of all the possible materials, they still build the fastest boats with wood. However the problem with these sprintboats is they are so tippy you cannot imagine how round and narrow is their hull.


If your iron is getting too low and you fear you may develop anemia, monitor your diet to ensure that you're receiving adequate amounts of iron. Not only does this entail attempting to eat foods that are high in iron or that increase iron absorption, it also includes becoming avoiding foods that may potentially block or inhibit iron absorption.
To ensure that you're absorbing an adequate amount of iron, it is also necessary to know the difference between the two types of iron: heme and nonheme. Heme iron is derived from animal foods that once contained hemoglobin--such as poultry, fish and red meat. Nonheme iron comes from plants and is the form of iron added to iron-enriched or fortified foods. Most dietary iron is nonheme iron, yet heme iron is absorbed better by the body.
According to the Iron Disorders Institute, calcium, an essential nutrient, is the only substance known to inhibit both heme and nonheme iron. It can be found in dairy products, tofu, canned salmon, broccoli, rhubarb, figs, almonds and turnip greens. Calcium amounts from 300 to 600 mg inhibit iron absorption, but 50 mg or less has little to no effect.
Eggs also contain an essential compound that inhibits iron: phosvitin. Phosvitin is a protein that binds to iron and inhibits its absorption. One boiled egg can reduce iron absorption in a meal by up to 28 percent, as noted by the Iron Disorders Institute.
MedlinePlus and the Iron Disorders Institute note that antacids, through reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach, can inhibit iron absorption. However, this is very rare and mainly a danger if you have drastically low levels of stomach acid or no stomach acid at all.
Phytate is found in sesame seeds, walnuts, dried beans, peas, almonds, lentils cereals and whole grains. It is contained in soy protein and fiber; even very low amounts have a strong inhibitory effect on absorption. Phytate can reduce healthy absorption by up to 65 percent, as noted by the Iron Disorders Institute.
Nonheme iron is affected by oxalates. Oxalates are found in beets, spinach, nuts, kale, wheat bran, chocolate, oregano, tea, strawberries, rhubarb, basil and parsley. Even though spinach is high in iron, the iron in spinach is difficult to absorb due to the oxalates that bond to the iron.
Polyphenols or phenolic compounds are found in cocoa, peppermint, apples, coffee, raspberries, some herbs, black tea, blueberries, coffee, walnuts, blackberries and some spices. They have the ability to inhibit iron absorption. For instance, one cup of coffee can inhibit iron absorption up to 60 percent, and some Swedish cocoas and certain types of tea can inhibit absorption up to 90 percent, according to the Iron Disorders Institute. If you are eating an iron-rich meal, do not consume any of these foods within two hours before and two hours after the meal.


Buying a 2012 Hyundai Tucson, and saving $5000 off of MSRP.
Buying a 2011 Hyundai Tucson, and saving $500 off of MSRP.
The vehicle was based off of cost and mileage. The other vehicle we looked at was the Kia Sportage, which I wasn't prepared to pay another $2k on for a V6 performing the same as the 4cyl Tucson. The initial reaction from a different sales rep was that he didn't care that we had the CCC report. The new rep mentioned he would try to give us 3-4% above dealer cost. Although he didn't subtract anything extra (cash incentive didn't apply as we were financing) he still took off $900 from sticker on a new vehicle that is currently a very good seller.
Used the wholesale price report to negotiate a lower sales price.
Hyundai offer 0%, 72 month financing the last two week in December (every year it seems). It is the absolute best time of year to buy a new vehicle. The company's fiscal year end is December 31, so they're pushing hard to move units.
If I was going to purchase this car again I would probably go to a different dealer. The Car Cost Canada quote did not assist me this time around. We ended up getting a deal but it was an employee discount deal. I have purchased 4 vehicles using this service and still highly recommend it. I did NOT like the vibe that I got from the dealer.
Worked very hard to try and find the car we wanted because they didn't have one on the lot. Took in the car cost report and asked how much they needed to make about the wholesale price.
They gave me approx $3000.00 more for my trade in of a 2005 Kia Amanti with 24900 kil on it compared to dealers in Sault Ste. Marie where I was offered $3000.00 less.
Leasing a 2011 Hyundai Elantra, and saving $1000 off of MSRP.
It is hard to tell exactly how much I saved since it was a lease. But once I showed them the CarCost wholesale price they agreed to give me that price plus 3% on top. Also they reduced their office cost as well. I found that the Elantra was the right fit for us at the moment and Hyundai's promotional 3 year rate of 0.9% was a deciding factor along with the price and quality of the car.
Buying a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Sedan, and saving $10000 off of MSRP.
I found the Hyundai Genesis to be the best value for a V8 luxury Sedan. Having access to dealer incentives provided me with the information to hold firm on my pricing and while the dealer did not agree intitially with my offer, they did ultimately come around.
I followed this Web's advice and started with the sales manager, showed him the calculated price I was prepared to pay. No hassles and no "credit Manager" up-sells.
Buying a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Sedan, and saving $6000 off of MSRP.
The vehicle got good write ups in Consumers Reports and elsewhere. It was the first of many cars I test drove. I came back to it because of the features and the price. The dealership was close by so that's why I started there and ended there rather than the dealership at the other end of the city. I intend to get the car serviced there also so that was a consideration. The price report gave me info on rebates that I was not aware of and maybe would not have obtained..... but I'm not sure because I was the one who brought it up. Nothing was advertised in plain sight. I mentioned and showed the Car Cost report in my hand during negotiations.


"I purchased this DVD as part of the boxed set, The Essential John Ford. All that is essential regarding Ford is NOT a part of this documentary. The DVD says on the front of the box: "Tracing the career of the director who defined American Cinema." In reality, this documentary really does not discuss any major film after My Darling Clementine (1946). Unbelievably, it makes no real mention of The Searchers. It mentions Stagecoach only in passing. Nothing about the Cavalry Trilogy or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. The films that represent the core of the discussion are the ones that are part of this, and other, FOX DVD collections. Fine, but that is not exactly tracing a career.
Most of this documentary consists of interviews (filmed in black & white and from a variety of arty angles) with people who have written about or who knew Ford. The quality of the commentary in the interviews varies widely. While Ford Scholar and biographer Joseph McBride is fine many others are, well, full of it (or maybe it's that they are full of themselves).
By contrast, on the two-disc version of Stagecoach (previously released by Warner) as an extra there is an episode from the PBS series American Masters about John Ford and John Wayne. While not covering the exact same ground as "Becoming John Ford", it is a better and more informative film.
At 90 minutes long there will probably be some bit of new information on this DVD for most people but I found it mostly disappointing and pretty empty of insight.
"This documentary on John Ford focuses on his legacy from his years at Twentieth Century Fox. Accordingly, it is by no means a definitive biography of either the man or his work. However, he toiled at Fox for many years so it should be worthwhile to learn about this body of work. Unfortunately, this DVD, while clearly well made, is deadly boring with endless talk by selected historians, actors, directors etc. The setting of the interviews is a darkened theatre with the projector hovering in the background and endless close ups of the speakers interspersed with shots of them seated with voiceovers, including a voice over for Ford himself - all very gimicky but very disruptive to the flow of the narrative. This is trendy documentary making at its worst.
Do we learn much about Ford? Not really except that he was a temperamental Irish man who went to extreme lengths to be beligerent and avoid any one scratching his brittle surface. As for his film making, in his own words, he states that he had a certain flair for composition. The films are testimony that there was much more but this documentary is not.
The DVD includes some extras. The World War 2 films which Ford made are here, including his famous film of the the battle of Midway. This is invaluable. The rest is marketing material for many of his Fox films and most of it is illegible.
You may pick the DVD up as part of one of the Ford at Fox Sets; otherwise, don't waste your money."
"John Ford is one of the greatest directors of all time (six oscars). But Mr. Redman made a boring ego doc. It starts with along intro that had nothing to do with Mr. Ford. The talking heads act like they know everything about Mr. Ford, and show their true egos. BUT did Mr. Redman ever interview any of the people WHO WORK with Mr. Ford. How about Harry Carey Jr, Maureen O'Hara...Patrick Wayne.
This is a bad way to honor a great director and War Honor. (Walter Hill as the vocie of Mr Ford....please!!!)"
