Snowpiercer's Jennifer Connelly teases 'reckoning' for Melanie Cavill as 'facade cracks' during war with Layton
Jack Pusey
MELANIE Cavill has proved to be a ruthless operator on Netflix's latest dystopian drama Snowpiercer.
The engineer extraordinaire has upheld a strict class system in the post-apocalyptic train, which holds the last surviving members of humanity after Earth was plunged into a new ice age.

From high-stakes repair operations to bloody interrogations, Melanie has committed herself to doing whatever it takes to ensure the train's survival.
She even took over in the wake of the enigmatic Mr Wilford's death in order to prevent mass panic, keeping up the appearance he is still alive using a series of old recordings.
Now Jennifer Connelly, who plays Melanie, has spoken about the hardships her characters will face in the latter half of the season.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about Melanie upholding order, Connelly explained: "Melanie didn't create the system, but she as a person in charge didn't decide to take it apart either.
Melanie and Layton have gone head to head

"She chose to, in the service of her ultimate goal, which is to ensure the survival of the train and its inhabitants, she chose to maintain the status quo and keep the system going."
She warned that the femme fatale would only be able to juggle plates for so long though, adding: "At a certain point in the arc of the season, there's a reckoning, and I think that's when things get really interesting for her."
Melanie's steely exterior and inscrutable manner have forged her into a formidable leader, but Connelly suggested the mask would start to slip as tensions reach fever pitch.
"I think order is a byproduct of her primary concern, which is the survival of the train and its passengers. That's really what she's fighting for. The interesting thing is that methodology is challenged at a certain point in the show, so the facade you're talking about starts to crack when she is challenged," she went on.

"That's part of what made her really interesting, is her inability to maintain that facade."
She stressed that Melanie was suffering deep down and despite her prestigious education went through hardships to make it aboard Snowpiercer.
"Like all the passengers on the train, she experienced an extreme trauma getting on the train, she suffered a great loss," she noted.

"She feels that burden more and more as more and more of herself is uncovered and revealed, and she confronts the choices she's made and the impact it's had on the people of Snowpiercer."
Fans predicted that Melanie was running the train just a few episodes into the series.
However, they were mortified at the lengths she went to to track down her enemies, with one grisly interrogation scene seeing her freeze Josie fingers before smashing them off with a hammer.
Snowpiercer is available to watch on Netflix with new episodes released on Mondays. The series airs on TNT in the US.

A new book and CD help students build emotional intelligence.
The scene: a first-grade classroom in a Manhattan school. Not just any classroom—this one has lots of Special Ed students, who are very hyperactive. So the room is a whirlpool of frenzied activity. The teacher tells the kids that they're going to listen to a CD. The kids quiet down a bit.
Then they get pretty still as the CD starts, and a man's voice asks the kids to lie down on their backs, arms at their sides, and get a "breathing buddy," like a stuffed animal, who will sit on their stomachs and help them be aware of their breathing. The voice takes the children through a series of breathing and body awareness exercises, and the kids manage to calm down and stay focused through the entire six minutes, which ends with them wiggling their toes.
The voice on the CD is mine, though I'm reading the words of Linda Lantieri, who has pioneered public school programs in social and emotional learning that have been adopted worldwide.
Her newest program adds an important tool to the emotional intelligence kit: mindfulness, a moment-by-moment awareness of one's internal state and external environment. In a new book, Building Emotional Intelligence ,which comes with the CD, Lantieri uses mindfulness training to enhance concentration and attention among kids, and to help them learn to better calm themselves. Building Emotional Intelligence comes with instructions that explain how teachers and parents can adapt Latieri's exercises to kids at different age levels (five to seven, eight to 11, or 12 and up) and provides detailed explanations of each exercise.
Lantieri's project exemplifies the ways we can build on scientific insights to help children master the skills of emotional intelligence. As Richard Davidson, founder of the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, explained to me in a recent conversation, this kind of instruction takes advantage of a natural neural window of opportunity during childhood. The neural circuitry that allows us to pay attention, calm ourselves, and attune to others' feelings all takes shape in the first two decades of life. And yet kids today face a range of social conditions—primarily stress caused by school and peer pressures, unstable home lives, and hectic schedules—that foil the healthy development of this circuitry.
As a result, kids can grow up with a range of deficiencies in these key life skills—deficiencies that can trouble them throughout life, in their relationships, and at work. For 20 years, writes Lantieri, schools have waged "prevention wars," like the "war on drugs," to reduce antisocial and self-destructive behavior. In Building Emotional Intelligence, she argues that we must instead focus on building resilience and self-knowledge. By offering kids a systematic education in social and emotional intelligence, we can help counteract the negative forces in their lives, and they can take these skills with them as they mature.
Parents and teachers tell kids countless times to "calm down" or "pay attention." But the natural course of a child's development means that the brain's circuitry for calming and focusing is a work in progress. Those neural systems are still growing. They will be shaped by the experiences kids have, so the lessons Lantieri offers are invaluable. In the Manhattan schools I visited, teachers played the CD for kids right before tests, to help them get in the best brain state for learning and remembering. Lantieri has created a great assistant for teachers, a way to help kids be better students—not just for better learning, but for better behavior, too.

Harvard to guarantee workers' pay, benefits amid coronavirus disruptions
Early responses indicate shift to online classes going well overall
Widener Library and University Hall share an empty Harvard Yard.
Changes to human resources policies to run through May 28
By Nate Herpich Harvard Correspondent
Date March 27, 2020 March 30, 2020
Amid the upheavals to campus life brought by the coronavirus pandemic, Harvard announced today it would guarantee pay and benefits through May 28 to its employees and contract workers who have experienced job disruptions since March 10, when the University announced the move to virtual classes.
"For our workforce, who each day are so critical to the success of this institution, this unprecedented public health emergency has created innumerable challenges," wrote Executive Vice President Katie Lapp in an email to University leaders announcing the changes to human resources policies. "The steps I share today are aimed at providing greater certainty for them in these uncertain times with regards to their pay and benefits, and greater stability for them and their families."
The extension of regular pay and benefits to Harvard employees, including administrative, professional, support staff, and service and trade workers, covers those who are well and available to work, but whose duties cannot be performed remotely, including dining and custodial services. Harvard will also expand eligibility for this guarantee to part-time contingent employees who work less than half time.
"This is a positive announcement for HUCTW members that we're very pleased to see," said Carrie Barbash, president of the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers. "We've been in serious ongoing conversations with University administrators about how the virus affects our members, and they have been responsive and positive. At such an incredibly challenging and unprecedented time for so many people in the U.S. and in our community, it's heartening to see this good citizenship from the University — Harvard taking care of its committed and hard-working staff, both union and nonunion."
Contract employees from Harvard's 14 major service suppliers working in security, dining, and custodial roles will also be eligible for extended pay and benefits. Harvard is working directly with these supplier companies to ensure continued support for those who are well and available for work, but displaced from their contract assignments by the coronavirus pandemic and therefore unable to obtain new assignments.
"We applaud Harvard for doing the right thing and implementing a leave policy that will allow both contracted and directly employed workers to make ends meet during this unprecedented crisis."
— Roxana Rivera, 32BJ Service Employees International Union
"UNITE HERE Local 26 commends Harvard for making the right decision for its dining hall workers and the public at large," said the union's president, Carlos Aramayo. "Nothing can reopen until we tackle this public health crisis head-on. Compensating workers, whether they are direct employees or subcontracted employees, who are staying at home to help solve this crisis helps ensure no one has to face unnecessary financial burdens during this already difficult time."
"We applaud Harvard for doing the right thing and implementing a leave policy that will allow both contracted and directly employed workers to make ends meet during this unprecedented crisis," added Roxana Rivera, vice president of 32BJ Service Employees International Union. "Having access to pay and health care benefits will give the 1,000 cleaners and security officers 32BJ represents at Harvard peace of mind knowing they can stay safe and healthy while continuing to feed their families. These workers have been at the frontlines of fighting this virus, keeping the campus clean and safe for the entire Harvard community even as students go back home, and we're glad that Harvard is acknowledging their important service."

Harvard also announced today that it is providing financial stabilization for the six independent nonprofit child-care centers on the University's campuses. The support package will enable the centers to ensure employment, pay, and benefits for about 180 employees through June 30, even if closures related to COVID-19 remain in effect. Under normal conditions, these centers serve 380 families in the Boston, Cambridge, and Harvard communities.
The new updates to Harvard's human resources policies build on previous enhancements that continued pay for 30 days for employees who no longer had work available after the majority of the University's student population left campus and allowed workers to use up to 14 days of unearned sick leave in advance.
"As the situation regarding COVID-19 has evolved, the human resources community at Harvard has continued its commitment to updating our policies to best support the University's workers," said Vice President for Human Resources Marilyn Hausammann. "These enhancements to the pay continuation policy and to the extension of coverage to employees of our key vendors illustrate how important it is to adapt during these challenging times, and more importantly, they show the deep appreciation the University has for its staff members and the contributions they make to Harvard every day."
When transitioning to teaching online, Professor Matt Saunders established a Zoom lecture (pictured) and formed smaller groups with six new discussion sessions.

So I just received my first Apodora from Joe Switalski with JS Reptiles. Great guy. I am super pumped to have the privilege of owning one of these amazing critters.
Congrats man, that is sooo Awesome!
An Olive Pappy is at the TOP of my dream list!
Sure hope to see more of that girl.
Beautiful animal Rage! She's got some good size on her too. How old is she?
I'm guessing between 2 and 3 years old. She is an import so it is hard to tell. I have to go off of her size.
She's gorgeous Rage. I'm loving her shimmering iridescence . Keep the pictures flowing with this one. I've had a yearling male Australian Olive for about 6 months and he's quickly becoming one of my favorites. Like your girl, he's very nice to handle. The biggest difference I've noticed so far between the 2 Olive species is the shorter snouts on the Papuanas. The size and coloration are pretty similar. I'm very curious to see other similarities and differences as they grow.
Yeah the head structure is completely different. But other than that they seem similar.
Head shape is interesting in these papuans. This quote is part of Dave's response to a question sent to VPI. Link below for full version.
The Papuan pythons from the eastern half of New Guinea are bigger and have a longer head than the Papuans from the Western Papua end of New Guinea. I haven't seen specimens from Biak, but the few Misool animals I have seen look the same as the Western Papuan specimens from the Sorong area that are the variety most commonly encountered in captivity.

Star Wars 7: Mark Hamill reveals new details about Luke Skywalker\'s exile in The Force Awakens
By Kabita Maharana
November 30, 2015 06:15 GMT
J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens will premiere on 17 December in the UK and on 18 December in the US. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Luke Skywalker may have been absent from the official trailers and posters of Star Wars 7 but Mark Hamill is making it a point to reveal more details about his iconic character in bits and pieces. After leaking the vital information that the former Jedi Master will survive the events of The Force Awakens, he has confirmed that Luke will spend his life on an isolated planet.
In a special cover story for Empire magazine, the 64-year-old Hollywood actor said fans will see Luke in the movie. However, he will not return as the "innocent farm boy" of Episode IV. "Obviously you're seeing him in a very different time in his life, there are lots of surprises in this movie. You're going to love it," Hamill said in the Star Wars special edition Empire magazine (via Slashfilm).
Rumours are strong that the seventh instalment of the highly popular space action thriller will be about Rey (a space scavenger) and Finn ( a runaway storm trooper) embarking on a galactic journey to find the Jedi legend who is on a self-imposed exile following the events of the Return of the Jedi.
While talking about the movie, Hamill said that while shooting for his exile scenes he literally felt that he was somewhere far, far away from the galaxy. "It reminded me of when I was in Tunisia on the salt flats. If you could get into your own mind and shut out the crew and look at the horizon, you really felt like you were in a galaxy far, far away. I had that same wave of emotion happen to me when I was on Skellig Michael in Ireland. I wasn't anticipating it."
Fans were expecting to see their favourite Jedi in the final trailer of the J.J Abarams directed space odyssey but were left highly disappointed when there was no hint of Hamill's character in it. It is assumed that hiding Luke's look is a master marketing strategy by Disney and Lucasfilm in order to maintain curiosity among fans for the movie, which is slated for Christmas release.
Advance ticket bookings for The Force Awakens have already set new records and expectations are high that the movie will become one of the biggest blockbusters of Hollywood. Star Wars 7 will premiere on 17 December in the UK, a day before its US premiere.
The movie is the first of a new trilogy starring original cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker alongside Andy Serkis, Max von Sydow, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver and Domhnall Gleeson. Newcomers and British actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are playing the key role of Finn and Rey respectively.

Familiar with the Perúvian Andes, and possessing the ability to communicate with the natives, Devy had the necessary tools to plan and execute an adventure of this magnitude. This was not to be a competition, rather a run for all ages and abilities. It was organized so that the participants could enjoy running over mountain trails, in a part of the world where they probably had never traveled. With the possible exception of the Himalayan mountain ranges of Nepal and Tibet, this certainly has to be the most awesome display of nature in the world.
As race directors ourselves, having directed the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run for twelve years, as well as numerous other marathons and ultramarathons, my wife Helen, and I were most anxious to take part in an event where we could run together, and get away from the competitive aspect of our sport. Helen, a world class ultramarathoner with many age group world records, and well over 100 ultramarathons under her belt, had participated in several adventure runs (Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race in India, and the Marathon Des Sables in Morocco), in the past. We had never been to Perú, and one of the highlights of this trip was that we would actually run the Inca Trail and visit Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. Needless to say, we were as excited as little children on their first visit to Disneyland, when we boarded the plane for our trip from Sacramento to Lima.
Following a very brief stopover in Lima, we met up with the other nineteen members of our group and then boarded an Aero Perú plane for the one hour flight to Cusco, one of the highest cities in the world at 11,150 feet. Naturally we were all concerned about altitude since we would be going over passes at nearly 17,000 feet. Upon our arrival in Cusco, we were greeted by Devy, and two native guides, Abelardo Vignati and Eddie Pizarro who were to accompany us for our entire trip. These two gentlemen professed to not really being runners, but they can run the hills with the best of them. Amazingly, they could even run the uphill at 15,000-16,000 feet, and their ability to literally fly down the very steep and rocky downhill was something to behold. More important than their running skills, however, was their dedication to our group of runners. They would constantly run back and forth among us to make certain that we were not having any unusual problems as well as making certain we were following the correct trails. On the sightseeing portions of the trip they provided us with the history and folklore of the areas we visited, and at our campsites they tended to our every need. We were truly pampered.
After a very brief stay in Cusco, we boarded a bus to the little town of Yucay. Along the way we stopped at the tiny roadside village of Chinchero at 12,350 feet, where we did some shopping, participated in the native ritual of a young boy's first haircut, and even partook in eating one of the native delicacies - guinea pig.
We were all pleasantly surprised with the quaint and beautiful hotel where we were to spend the night. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere was this quaint and lovely roadside inn. When we weren't camping on the trails, our hotel accomodations were the best Perú had to offer. Our restaurant meals were also of the finest quality and at no time did we ever leave the table feeling hungry. There was an adequate variety of American-style food as well as Perúvian food to satisfy everyone's palate. The same could be said when we were camped on the trails. Devy had two groups of porters and cooks who were responsible for seeing that we were well taken care of the entire time we were on the trails. The porters with their teams of horses would transport all of our gear (sleeping bags, clothing, personal supplies, etc.) to the campsite where we would spend the night, set up tents and have our gear waiting for us upon our arrival at the end of each day's run. We, in turn, were only responsible for carrying what we would need for each day, water, clothing for the weather, etc.. We would be greeted with a hot cup of tea and local bread or other treat. We would then wash, get our gear ready for the next day, and wait for supper. The meals were superb, starting with tea, hot oatmeal, and a full breakfast in the morning, hot soup and a full lunch or full supper depending on when we arrived at the campsite at the end of each run. The food was nutritious, plentiful, and very satisfying. It was truly a logistical masterpiece when one considers the remoteness and the very difficult geography that had to be navigated to establish the campsites and transport the provisions.
Perhaps the one thing that will stand out in our minds as much as the wonderful views of nature that engulfed us each day, was the concern and energy displayed by our trip organizer, Devy Reinstein. As race directors we can appreciate the effort involved in staging any race, no matter how long or how short the distance. The difficulty factor is increased significantly when you attempt to stage an event in another country. Add to this, the fact that this event is staged in a remote mountain wilderness, and you can begin to appreciate the monumental effort it takes not only to "pull it off", but to have it happen in a safe and enjoyable way for the participants. Not only were Devy's organizational skills impressive, but there he was at all times making sure we received our gear, handing us tea when we arrived and at wake up call, and generally taking care of our every need.
In the morning, following a wonderful breakfast, we boarded the bus and began an uphill ride to approximately 14,000 feet. It was at this point that we were to do an acclimatizing run of approximately five miles. This would prove to be by far, the easiest run we would have for the remainder of the trip. The run was along a well groomed dirt road and was for the most part, completely downhill. Naturally the views were spectacular, but we learned very quickly, that at this altitude, we were not in for an easy time. In spite of the downhill terrain, we still had to take occasional walking breaks, as it did not take too long to feel totally winded.
After approximately four miles, we came upon the Maras salt mines, still in operation from the Inca days. This was one of the most unique methods of salt collection that we have had the pleasure of viewing and certainly displayed the ingenuity of the Incas. We continued on after a brief visit, and ran another mile where our bus met us to take us to the village of Ollanta. It was here that we were able to visit the ruins of an ancient Inca temple, the first of several that we would visit during our trip.
Following a very steep climb of several hundred stairs we arrived at the temple and were able to view the almost unbelievable architectural and engineering skills of the Incas. Enormous granite boulders ranging in size from five tons to 125 tons, were quarried out of the mountainside and hauled up the steep slopes to where they were arranged to form the temple. To this day, no one knows for certain how this was accomplished since they did not have knowledge of the wheel, and they certainly did not have the tools that modern engineers now possess. Even more amazing was the fact that these huge boulders, ranging in size from a small automobile to a large pickup truck, were carried and sculpted to such a degree that when they were abutted next to each other or on top of each other, the abutting joints were cut with such precision that a toothpick could not be wedged between the joints. No mortar was used, as it was certainly not necessary with stones of this magnitude.
Following lunch and a short bus ride, we began our second run of the day, which was a very gently rolling 5.5 miles, until we arrived at our campsite. By now we realized that our plan of jogging the flats, running the downhill, and walking the uphill would require some changes. We would be doing more power walking on the flats since most of our running for the remainder of the trip would be between 13,000 and 17,000 feet. Unless you are a native living at this altitude, you don't run at that elevation.
In the morning, following tea and a very filling breakfast, we began what was to be the most difficult day of the entire trip. We would be running, climbing and hiking 27.5 miles over the Inca Trail, with our destination being Machu Picchu. We would climb several passes, the highest being at 13,779 feet, before our final descent into Machu Picchu at 8,860 feet. Hikers generally take four days to accomplish this trip; hopefully, we could do it in one. Our scheduled departure was 4:30 a.m.. Devy began the daily briefing about the day's run prior to our leaving, and it was during this briefing, that we were paid a visit by an infamous friend "El Nino." It was the winter season in Perú, however, this generally is the best time to make this trip because it is very dry with virtually no rain. El Nino, however, had different plans for us. Shortly before our departure it began to rain very lightly. The first several miles were gently rolling, and with the aid of our flashlights, we had some very enjoyable running. As we began to climb, it became windy and colder. Fortunately, we were carrying light back packs, so we removed the warmer clothes and rain gear from our packs, but trying to put them on under these conditions became a chore. The trail became extremely steep, making the Devil's Thumb climb at the Western States 100, and the Hope Pass climb at the Leadville 100, pale in comparison. As we approached the 11,000 foot mark (a reading I got from my altimeter watch), the rain turned to sleet, and the usual thoughts that enter one's mind of "what the hell am I doing here", began to emerge.
As we plodded higher up the trail, the sleet turned to hail, which later turned to snow. By the time we reached the top of the pass at 13,779 feet, we were witnessing an almost total "white out", but surprisingly, the energy used in making the climb prevented us from getting too cold and our rain gear and gloves kept us fairly dry. We had to prove to El Nino that we were as tough as he was. Descending the trail was a welcome relief, however, the wet, icy conditions made us exercise extreme caution, as we certainly did not wish to risk falling in these conditions. At 13,000 feet, the trail was free of snow and we had an enjoyable downhill run to the first of several aid stations Devy had established for us. We then began another very difficult climb up a seemingly endless mix of trail and stairs that proved more demanding than our previous climb. We now began to realize why hikers took four days to complete this hike, and we still had at least half way to go.
Following a wonderful downhill run, we came to a stretch of the trail that proved to be most interesting. The regular trail had, prior to our arrival, been washed out by flooding, and a new trail had to be cut through a rain forest comprised mostly of ferns and moss. The trail was very steep and narrow and bordered on both sides by huge granite walls covered with very thick moss. We were told that if you push your arm into it, your arm would go in up to your shoulder. Naturally we had to try this and after extending my arm as far as I could, I still was unable to find where the moss ended and the rock began.
The uphill and downhill stretches were incredibly steep, but there was some enjoyable running. I would estimate that the total elevation change during this day was over 30,000 feet and it was as difficult a day as we have ever had in running. We were treated to seeing many beautiful wild orchids along the way and just when we felt we could go no further, we came around a bend, and lying approximately 1000 feet below us, was Machu Picchu, spread out in all of its glory and splendor. We could only stand and gasp in awe at the incredible sight before us and naturally, we forgot about the struggles of the day. By now the rain had stopped, the sun was shining, and we felt exhilarated and anxious to go on. We even forgave our buddy "El Nino" for the misery he had caused us.
We continued our descent into Machu Picchu, where we spent the next day learning about the construction and the culture of the city. It is certainly the equal to any of the famous man made structures around the world (the pyramids, great wall of China, Taj Mahal, etc.) in grandeur and beauty. Our guides Eddie and Abelardo gave us a guided tour and lectured about the city, and then, we made an 1100 foot ascent up Huayna Piccu (young mountain) where we had spectacular views of Machu Picchu and the Vilcabamba river valley below.
After visit to Machu Picchu, we descended by bus to an airstrip for our flight back to Cusco. This was to be a real treat as our method of transportation was an old Soviet troop helicopter that could seat thirty people. The pilot flew low enough to enable us to see the beautiful terrain beneath us and after a most enjoyable one hour flight, we landed in Cusco. The remainder of the day and following day was spent visiting temples and shrines, shopping and resting for the four difficult days that lie ahead.
After spending two enjoyable days in Cusco and getting somewhat spoiled with our fine hotel accommodations and excellent meals, we boarded a bus for a six hour ride, that was to prove to be the bus ride of a lifetime. After one hour on paved highway, we exited on a dirt road that would climb from 12,000 feet to 14,000 feet. The trip was indeed an experience because of the steep drop-offs and the hairpin switch backs. Fortunately, our bus driver was the Picasso of his profession, and after a long ride, we arrived at the village of Tinqui, at 12,400 feet. We spent the night in a very quaint little hotel, similar to a hostel, and enjoyed the luxury of a bed prior to the next three days in tents and sleeping bags.
In the morning, we ran through the village to the trail head to start our four day traverse around Mt. Ausangate. This was to be an eight mile jaunt, starting at 12,400 feet, ascending to 14,765, and then descending to our campsite at 14,400 feet. Along the way we encountered many local inhabitants and began to pass out ballpoint pens that we had brought with us, to the children who ran up to greet us. Even though we were only running eight miles, because of the altitude and terrain, it took three hours before we arrived at the campsite. We were treated to a bath in a natural thermal pool adjacent to the campsite, enabling us to have a few hours of rest and relaxation for what was to be a most difficult run the following day.
The day began with a very early start since we had to cover 21.5 miles and climb over the Palomani pass at 16,600 feet. Not only were the views spectacular as one can imagine, but we were treated to some other wonderful sights as well. All along the way we encountered huge herds of llamas and alpacas. Numerous mountain lakes were visible from the trail, and we circled many of them. The huge ice field and glacier that bordered the west face of Ausangate, reminded us of the ice field and Khumbu glacier at the base of Mt. Everest which we had visited in 1980. We were also fortunate to see a giant condor soaring above the peaks that surrounded us. As an avid cactus collector, I could not believe my eyes when I was able to see thousands of huge clusters of Orocereus Celsianus cacti (the old man of the Andes) emerging from beneath the snow at 14,500 feet. How were they able to survive in this cold? The trail kept climbing and getting more and more difficult. The final climb to the 16,600 foot level proved to be even more difficult than the climbs on the Inca Trail, and was perhaps the steepest climb we had ever encountered. The last 3/4 mile was completely covered in snow from the snowfall of several days ago, and it was truly a case of take two steps up and slide one step back. After what seemed like an eternity we summitted out, and I can honestly say, we were "sucking wind." We still had eight miles to go. Fortunately it was almost all down hill or flat for most of the way, so we were able to do some of the most enjoyable running of the entire trip. We still had a few steep climbs to make and it began snowing again just prior to arriving at the campsite at Jampa at 15,500 feet. Needless to say we were quite spent, but after another scrumptious meal, we went to sleep in our tent, listening to the sounds of the snowflakes as they landed and began to freeze on the tent.
This day's run also involved another steep climb over the Campa pass at 16,300 feet. Fortunately it was at the start of the run, and after arriving at the summit, we traversed a gently rolling ridge until we started another wonderful downhill run to the village of Pacchanta at 13,950 feet. When we arrived at the campsite after a 9.5 mile jaunt, we again were able to bathe our bodies in the natural hot springs. Some of the villagers were there to sell us their wares (blankets, hats, sweaters, jewelry, etc.) and one of them even had a bottle of cold Coca Cola. The mountain gods had seen fit to provide me with my favorite beverage. The evening meal was a traditional "pachamanca" dinner feast (similar to a luau) where meat (sheep and alpaca) are cooked with vegetables underground with heated stones. Very tasty but a little tough, but again, its all part of the experience.
Prior to the evening meal on this day, we all were witness to a very poignant ceremony. A memorial service was conducted by a local priest for fellow ultramarathon runner, Jim Pellon. Jim, as gifted a long distance runner as there ever was (three second place finishes at Western States and twelve straight silver buckles indicating sub 24 hour finishes) was to have been a member of our trip. Jim had given up running five years ago but had begun training again to make this trip. Unfortunately he suffered a fatal heart attack six weeks prior to our departure. The local priest led us in the memorial service, and an offering was made in his honor and buried high on the mountain, to honor the gods of the mountain. Even those who did not know Jim, were emotionally moved by this service.
The final day of running was six miles, mostly downhill, and we ran past many small villages on our way back to Tinqui. Guess what? - we had a real "treat" in store. We were going to be able to board the bus for a repeat of our six hour bus ride. When we exited the bus in Cusco, we all felt more relieved to be off the bus than to be off the mountain. That evening we were treated to a farewell dinner in one of Cusco's finest restaurant. We were entertained by a local Perúvian band, a trio of singers, and a dance troupe. We even did some dancing ourselves, believe it or not. Devy had beautiful awards crafted by local craftsmen which he presented to everyone. A truly wonderful ending to a truly wonderful adventure. The next day we returned to Lima, spent several hours sightseeing, and then boarded the plane for our trip back to the States.

Dietsveld is een buurt in de Noord-Hollandse gemeente Haarlem. Het is in de jaren dertig van de twintigste eeuw aangelegd na de annexatie in 1927 van de voormalige gemeente Schoten door Haarlem. De wijk is gelegen op het zand van een oude strandwal, op restanten van oude duinen.De buurt maakt in de gemeentelijke indeling deel uit van de Vogelenwijk. De buurten Dietsveld en de vogelenbuurt hebben een eigen wijkraad.

Ontwikkeling
Voor de ontwikkeling van de buurt was het een gebied met weilanden en tuinen van bewoners van de woningen in het oude Schoten.
Oostelijk werd het te bebouwen gebied begrensd door de derde verboden kring op 1000 meter van de hoofdverdedigingslijn van de Positie bij Spaarndam van de Stelling van Amsterdam.

De wijk Dietsveld is ontwikkeld door Exploitatiemaatschappij de Meerkoet. Architect van de woningen was H. Heidstra. De ontwikkeling startte met het westelijke deel in 1933 en stopte bij de start van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In 1948 is de bouw weer opgepakt met het oostelijke deel.

De straten in de wijk Dietsveld zijn vernoemd naar vroegere volken, zoals de Batavierenstraat, Caninefatenstraat en Romeinenstraat.

Indeling

De buurt Dietsveld is ontwikkeld als een orthogonaal symmetrisch plan. Een opmerkelijk element is de noord-zuidas van Roerdompplein, Batavierenplantsoen en Radboudstraat, uitkomend in het groene plein Dietsveld. Behalve de Radboudstraat werd de as voorzien van plantsoenering die zich in zuidelijke richting trapsgewijs verbreedt en in het Dietsveld geleidelijk weer tot een puntvorm terugkeert. Aan het Dietsveld werd met een gesloten uniforme bebouwing de karakteristieke holronde pleinvorm krachtig benadrukt. Op het noordelijk eind van de noord-zuidas verrees in 1938 een lagere school, de Koningin Emmaschool, naar ontwerp van de Bloemendaalse architect H.W. van Kempen.

De Vondelweg aan de oostzijde van het gebouwde deel ligt langs de rand van de derde verboden kring. Het natuurlandschap oostelijk van de Vondelweg staat bekend als de Hekslootpolder. Bestuurlijk gezien maakt dit natuurgebied deel uit van de buurt Dietsveld/wijk Vogelenbuurt.

Tweede Wereldoorlog
In de oorlog zijn verschillende woningen door de Duitsers gevorderd. Een schutting, die in de brandgang stond tussen de Romeinenstraat en de achterliggende Roerdompstraat, is in de oorlog gesloopt en opgestookt. Deze schutting is nooit meer teruggeplaatst. Op 19 september 1944 werd de wijk Dietsveld tot Sperrgebiet verklaard en zijn de bewoners op last van de Duitsers geëvacueerd om een vrij schootsveld te hebben. De wijk lag in de buurt van Festung IJmuiden, een strategisch belangrijk onderdeel van de Atlantikwall. IJmuiden was van groot belang vanwege de strategische positie van de haven en vanwege de staalproductie in de Hoogovens. Met hun huisraad op handkarren verlieten de bewoners hun huizen. Het ging om de bewoners die ten noorden van de Jan Gijzenvaart.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog is de bouw van de wijk in 1948 hervat. De woningen die toen gebouwd zijn zijn anders vormgegeven dan de woningen die voor de oorlog gebouwd zijn. Dit verschil is onder andere te zien aan de erkers.

Beschermde monumenten
In de wijk bevindt zich het Schoterrechthuis, tegenwoordig een rijksmonument. Daarnaast zijn enkele woningen aan de Roemer Visscherstraat, Muiderslotweg en de Vondelweg gemeentelijk beschermd, evenals de schoolgebouwen aan het Roerdompplein en Rijksstraatweg.

Van historisch belang is verder de Jan Gijzenvaart, een 16e-eeuwse vaart voor de afvoer van zand uit het duingebied en de Vergierdeweg, een van oorsprong middeleeuws voetpad dat het gehucht Schoten verbond met Santpoort.

Dr. Kalyani Bondre is a classical vocalist of the younger generation. Kalyani's first musical impressions were formed in her own home, as both her parents have been exponents of Hindustani Classical Music. Her mother, Dr Meera Bondre, is the student of well-known sitarist, Ustad Usman Khansaheb of the Beenkar Gharana. Her father, Arwind Bondre, is the disciple of Ustad Mohammad Hussain Khansaheb of the Gwalior Gharana, from whom he learnt vocal music. Khansaheb was the sarangi accompanist of the legendary Baalgandharva, and hence, Kalyani got Hindustani Classical Music and Marathi Natyasangeet as a legacy.
Kalyani started training in Kathak dance under Guru Manisha Sathe, disciple of Natraj Pandit Gopi Krishna, at the tender age of six. Simultaneously, she also started taking lessons in classical music from Ranjana Bhide, disciple of Pandit Gangadharbuwa Pimpalkhare. Following her natural bent of mind, she later exclusively devoted herself to vocal music. However, eight years of disciplined and rigourous training in dance gave her a through grip on the intricacies of Taal (Rhythm) and that went on to become one of the highlights of her singing.
Although Kalyani has trained in vocal classical music mainly under Guru Manisha Shrikhande of the Mewati Gharana, she has created her own individual style, blending elements from a variety of sources, and encompassing the nuances of different styles of music. She has also received guidance from Ustad Faiyaaz Hussain Khansaheb and Ustad Usman Khansaheb.
Kalyani has already started establishing her mark as an outstanding talent and has performed at prestigious platforms in India and abroad. Gifted with a rich, melodious voice, which freely flows in all the three octaves, an effortless command of rhythm, clarity of diction, originality, and versatility, she captivates audiences wherever she performs. In addition to pure classical music and natyasangeet, she presents other light forms of music with equal aplomb. She has also composed music for dance dramas. Her album of Hindustani Classical Music was released in Pune at the hands of veteran actor, Shri Vikram Gokhale in 2006.
In addition to her musical excellence, Kalyani has pursued an equally bright academic career. She has completed her PhD in Economics from the University of Pune.


All these were shot on my Hasselblad 500 c/m with a mix of Fuji Instant Film FP-100C Colour gloss, ilford delta 100 and 400 plus kodak ektar 100 colour film.
With the model Elaine Ford and make up by Judit Soltesz.
Americana I caught this one whilst setting up a test shot I only got a polaroid of this but I thought it worked really well.
One of the fun things about shooting on film is the 2.30 min you have to wait for the polaroid to develop so while I was waiting we shot a few digital pics which are the ones below. its really funny because i really like these pics but its the soul that's missing I know that sounds really strange but I think there is something missing and that thing i've only ever found in film.
the cook islanders what they really think!
I forgot how much i love film! Here is the first few shots that ive properly taken with the hassy, with an 80mm 2.8 lens and a bit of tape stuck in the film back hence the black lines where the titles are! - love black bags to fix that! I did a little bit of post work in photoshop just sorting out the levels a bit but thats it oh and the shot of my canon 7d was taken with a strobe at a shutter speed of 500 as ive never used a flash at 500 before and i wanted to see what it would look like!
Here's some pics from the polaroid back on the hassy, a few things of note - Polaroids don't like rain and it's really really annoying when you load the film up the wrong way round!

Let me explain you what you need to do!
In the last years buy from a foreign company is become really difficult.
The crisis through various sectors, the ever more stringent customs regulations, transport costs and the lack of the time have made life difficult for all purchasing offices.
Besides, there are a lot of small companies that want to buy abroad but they haven't neither qualified staff nor the economic force to do this.
All these matters avoid to a lot of them the possibility to buy good products or services for their business.
Our network, thanks to analysis of all these matters, has created the first unified purchasing system that allow to the businessman after the choice of the right products, to let all problems to us.
Document checks: all documents are issued based on the customs regulations of your country.
Transport service that includes the search of the right partner both for groupage and full shipment.
Everything without any problems for the importer and without any additional costs.
Moreover, entrust the management of all to professional personal guarantee to receive exactly what you ordered and at the right time.
Stop to all problems, you need to send just an email (contact page) and you can make your purchase safely.


Hello! My name is Demetra Hajidiacos and I am the creator of I Can Pretend! I'm an educator, writer and parent with many years of experience teaching drama in the school system as well as the private sector.
Masters of Education degree from the University of Manitoba.
My research focused on teaching children with autism imaginative play skills. My master's thesis is entitled The Imagination Room: Teaching Drama to Children on the Autism Spectrum. It recounts the personal and professional journey I took when I created this drama program for children with autism that was first piloted at Manitoba Theatre for Young People.
I am so passionate about teaching children with autism that along with my business partner, Leanne Howlett, we have opened Autism Learning Centre, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a one-of-its-kind facility, housing a wide array of therapies for children and teens with autism, all under one roof.
All children learn at their own pace. It is my job as the teacher to identify the learning needs of all the children in my classroom and lead them to find their own successes. I am always available for questions and feedback and like all teachers I am a lifelong learner, continuously striving to grow in my craft in order to better the lives of my students.

Eur-In or Eur-Out: A Brexit Special
There has been a lot of talk in the news recently about the impending referendum on Britain's status within the European Union. Too much talk if you ask us. There is only so much of David Cameron's plate face and Boris Johnson's head that we can take. So, here to stop you having to listen to those gobshites, is this; The FoulENT guide to what they haven't told you about the EU Referendum.
Three Things The Remain Campaign Haven't Told You
The remain campaign have stayed dignified throughout the ugly back and forth between the two camps. Well, about as dignified as a man wanking in a bus stop. What they really don't want you to know though is...
1. The EU Insult & Profanity law
Image Credit: 1.bp.blogspot.com/
This is a law that the red tape slinging, banana straightening bureaucrats in Brussels are planning to pass on the 24th of June. One day after our referendum, one day too late for it to make a difference to our voting choice. Currently, free speech laws allow us a certain leeway with the things that we say. We can easily call David Cameron a fucking plate faced twat and it is no problem. We can do it two or three times a day and there is nothing the fucking plate faced twat can do about it. The EU however intend to pass what they call the 'Alexandre Dumas law' which basically says that if you intend to insult someone you must do so without profanity and be as eloquent as you possibly can. If we decide to remain in the EU as soon as the decision has been announced, we will have to edit every single mention of David Cameron being a fucking plate faced twat to read intercourse having oval solid sustenance receptacle female genitalia. Which would be cool if we got paid by the word, but I don't, so fornicate you Brussels!
2. Replacing The Bedroom Tax
Image Credit: theapricity.com
With Turkey joining the EU soon there will be a sudden influx of around about 45 million people who want to live in your council house and eat your food and claim your benefits. That's not me scaremongering, they are cold hard facts. What the EU are planning on doing is forcing the Conservative government to abandon the bedroom tax and in its place any spare bedrooms must be populated by three Turkish families. This is part of the European Union's plan to turn the UK into Turkey Minor, so that half of Turkey can be turned into a Lidl warehouse. Because Lidl pay the living wage, the money they will get back in taxing workers will offset the grant they gave Lidl to build the warehouse and the tax breaks just enough; this means the NHS won't have to be privatised until 2018.
3. Kicking ISIS's Arses
Image Credit: newslobby.net
ISIS are the biggest threat to the western world since the last 5 middle eastern governments that have since been toppled by throwing rocks at the leader. If Gaddafi can be shoved into a pipe and killed by people relentlessly hitting him with sandals, then the British Army might even stand a chance of taking down ISIS. The British Army, known by it's other moniker as the National Care Home for the Intelligently Challenged and Impotent, could potentially lead an all out charge and obliterate the 12 men in pyjamas that make up ISIS. However, talk of the European Army has stifled the plans, whilst leaders in Europe scour their countries for people angry and stupid enough to match the calibre set by Britain. Should we vote out, Britain would be free to ship off hundred of troubled kids who grew up with Call of Duty and daddy issues to the middle east to spank ISIS, which would create a number of jobs across the UK, specifically in McDonalds and JD Sports across the nation.
Three Things The Leave Campaign Haven't Told You
We may have taken a swipe at the remain campaign earlier for being undignified, but honestly the leavers are just as bad. When you have a man whose hair resembles a wig that Donald Trump turned down, that tells you all you really need to know about dignity. Here are the things that no-one from the leave campaign is telling you.
1. New NHS Use Criteria
Image Credit: weourselves.com
Boris Johnson does a lot of lip service about saving the NHS, so does David Cameron to be fair. However, the fact remains that both of them want it gone. Documents leaked by a pro NHS member of the Tory party show that Cameron and Johnson have conspired to help to manage costs if Britain votes to leave the EU. That provision is that everyone must meet two criteria in order to use the NHS service. 1. They must be named Boris Johnson. 2. They must be a member of the Conservative Party. Just think, if you vote leave you will be at home suffering from crippling AIDS while Boris is getting wanked off by a fit nurse in a hospital.
2. Unique Treasury Spending Plans
Image Credit: thebislondon.wordpress.com
There is a significant amount of money sent to the EU each week. While it is refuted by both sides exactly how much this is, it is enough for them to do what 'they' want with it. We use the word 'they' because of this revelation; David Cameron gets the benefits from both sides no matter what happens because he is the leader of the country. His plan if we leave the EU is to buy France and then use it to build a giant Lidl warehouse. Wait, this seems familiar...
3. The Australian Effect
Image Credit: wikimedia.org
Immigration has been a point of contention curing the Referendum debates, with MPs and voters alike voicing their opinions on the dirty, dirty foreigners, where they can go back to and how they're simultaneously taking peoples jobs and sponging off the state. There has been a lot of talk of reforming the immigration policies to that of the 'Australian System'. We've so far believed this to be in relation to the points and merits based system in which the Australian border force allow immigrants into the country. What the Leave campaign don't want you to know, however, is this is in fact relates to how people will be deported from the country. First will be all the crims and wronguns in prisons, meaning the government can finally pave over Friar Park and make it into an even bigger Lidl car park. Once they're gone, colonial style ships will take all people of colour off our shores. And finally, anyone without pure British heritage will be sent to live in the Eurovision-watching, Brussels-loving countries their ancestors originally came here from. This basically leaves only the incestuous 'pure' English families with a claim to Britian, which makes you wonder which half of the UK Boris Johnson will get and how Piers Morgan will continue to be seen as a cunt once there's only his inbred family to pass judgement on him.

If a glaze slurry contains soluble or partially soluble raw materials or is made using hard water, then solids can precipitate over time forming hard lumps, crystals or a scum. At a minimum the solubility of many materials is enough to stain the water in a slurry (seen on the top after the powder has settled).
It seems logical that ceramic powdered materials, being ground up rock or glass (in the case of frits) would not be soluble. But this is not the case. Solubility is often a matter of chemistry. Certain frit chemistries, for example, are much more vulnerable to dissolution. This is because frits often need to push the boundaries of stability (therefore solubility) to deliver the desired chemistry (e.g. those lacking alumina). Frit production is not always precise, variations can lead to instability. Stains are also subject to solubility (for this reason some are acid washed).
Solubility of materials is often a simple product of increased surface area. For example, the solubility of feldspar or nepheline syenite rock is very low, but when ground into a powder its surface area is multiplied thousands or millions of times. This is enough to create noticeable solubility. Other materials are known to be contaminated by soluble salts. Gerstley borate, for example, gels glaze slurries, so obviously it is releasing ions into the suspension (its constituent minerals are also less stable than most other common ceramic materials). Ball clays likewise release scum as they dry (solubles are sourced from contaminants that get ground up with the clay itself, these are carried to the surface and precipitate there as brown scum as the water evaporates away). Manufactured materials like barium carbonate and lithium carbonate are partially soluble (this is just what they are).
Precipitation is not just a product of over saturation that occurs over time. It can also be a product of the interaction of various ions to be found in solution (which may well want to interact). Often it may appear that a particular material is guilty of precipitating in a specific glaze, however that same material may appear in another recipe where no precipitation occurs.
You can minimize precipitation and solubility in glazes by storing them in a cool place. And by making smaller batches and cycling them more often. Solubility of stains can affect the fired product (producing cloudiness on the surface of fired ware). In such cases it may be necessary to wash your stains before use (in vinegar for example).
Soluble ingredients in glazes always precipitate as angular crystals. Right?
Wrong. These tiny spheres (actually they are not so tiny) form over time as a precipitate in a glaze having a high concentration of a boron frit and mixed in hard water. This may be an example of how interactions can affect the degree to which materials dissolve in water (in this case the electrolyte in the water could be a trigger). These are likely ooids.
These flakes have been screened from a highly-fritted boron glaze mixed using hard water and stored for a year. They formed as a film across the top of the settled surface and on the walls of the bucket. Frits are stoichiometric, they should not dissollve, but they do. Perhaps this is evidence that frit makers are unable to precisely control production parameters.
Are frits partially soluble? Yes, many are.
These 1 mm-sized crystals were found precipitated in a couple of gallons of glaze containing 85% Ferro Frit 3195. They are cubical, hard and insoluble. Why and how to do they form? Many frits are slightly partially soluble and the degree to which they are are related to the length of time the glaze is in storage, the temperature, the electrolytes and solubles in the water and interactions with other material particles present. The solute then interacts with other materials particles to form insoluble species that crystallize and precipitate out as you see here. These crystals can be a wide range of shapes and sizes and come from leaded and unleaded frits.
Add 5% calcium carbonate to a tenmoku. What happens?
In the glaze on the left (90% Ravenscrag Slip and 10% iron oxide) the iron is saturating the melt crystallizing out during cooling. GR10-K1, on the right, is the same glaze but with 5% added calcium carbonate. This addition is enough to keep most of the iron in solution through cooling, so it contributes to the super-gloss deep tenmoku effect instead of precipitating out.
It also contains less than 10% borax frit and some Cornwall stone.

Lufthansa Munich-Chicago Business Class Flight 434 – Review
March 18, 2014 • Leave a Comment
MUNICH — Chicago O'Hare International Airport, named after Edward O'Hare, the U.S. Navy's first flying ace, is one out of seven destinations with a direct connection from Munich International Airport offered by the German flag carrier Lufthansa. (The other direct connections are Boston, New York, Newark, Charlotte, San Francisco and Los Angeles.) The Munich-Chicago route has been in service by Lufthansa since March 1995 and Lufthansa uses mainly Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft on this route. On my flight, an Airbus A330-300, configured with Lufthansa's new first- and business class cabin, was scheduled for this flight.
Given the severe winter weather in the midwestern United States at the time of my trip in early January, I was not quite certain whether my flight would not be cancelled or delayed. Absent any bad news, I headed to Munich Airport in the early afternoon.
My westbound flight from Munich to Chicago was scheduled for 3:40 p.m. The security check at Munich's Franz-Josef Strauss Airport, named after the former Bavarian Prime Minister, was quick and smooth as I was the only passenger at the Business/First-Class line. Shortly thereafter, I was on my way to border control and soon arrived at the final security check, located next to the gate in departure area H.
Boarding commenced about 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Passengers with disabilities and those with children were invited to board first, followed by first- and business-class passengers and Star Alliance Gold members. I was soon on board and received a friendly greeting from a flight attendant who showed me to window seat 10K. Readily apparent was a change from the original configuration of Lufthansa's business-class seats. While the seats are still arranged in a 2-2-2 layout, the seats on the outboard sides of the cabin are no longer angled toward each other. In each row, only the two seats between the aisles are still oriented in a V-like configuration.
Lufthansa introduced its all-new first and business class cabin design with the arrival, in 2012, of the Boeing 747-8 to their long-haul fleet. At that time, the carrier also started to update all premium cabins in its long-haul fleet although there are still aircraft, including the A380, which are currently outfitted with the more than ten year old first- and business class seats.

Its a record that the public is entitled to review. So much for fair and balanced: Christie has already decided that it is fiction — let the public decide whether-or-not it is fiction. By-the-way, what are Oxley's professional, not political, qualifications for this patronage appointment?


The weather was pretty grotty all morning, but by the afternoon not only had the rain passed over, there was a hint of blue sky as well!
You can just see the darker stormy clouds to the bottom right of the photo, heading off towards the east / south.

Power bills can fall – but the main attention must be on affordability: ACCC
The chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Rod Sims, holds out the prospect of an absolute fall in electricity bills over coming years – but says this will require focusing centrally on affordability, not just reliability and sustainability.
In its Retail Electricity Pricing Inquiry preliminary report into the electricity market, released on Monday, the ACCC says residential electricity prices have increased by 63% on top of inflation in the last decade, with network costs being the major contributor.
Household bills rose by nearly 44%, from an average of A$,1177 in 2007-08 to $1,691 in 2016-17.
Household bills have risen less than electricity prices because usage has fallen, mainly due to self-supply by solar panels.
The report comes as cabinet is set to consider on Monday the government's energy policy, which it hopes to take to the Coalition partyroom on Tuesday. Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg last week signalled the government had moved away from the Finkel inquiry's recommendation for a clean energy target.
Facing the prospect of a shortage of power in the period ahead, the government is particularly focused on the need to increase dispatchable power.
The clean energy target, even in modified form, is also unpopular in Coalition ranks.
The ACCC report indicates that supporting renewable energy has been a relatively minor driver of the spiking of prices.
Sims – who flagged the ACCC findings when he addressed the National Press Club recently – says affordability should be the "dominant" objective in policy but in recent years it has come after several other objectives – including reliability, dividends and sustainability.
He said different approaches were needed to pursue each of the objectives of affordability, reliability and sustainability. As reliability and sustainability were pursued, it was important to do it in "the least-cost way and to let people know the costs".
"What's clear from our report is that price increases over the past ten years are putting Australian businesses and consumers under unacceptable pressure," he said.
The ACCC found that on average across the national electricity market (which does not include Western Australia or the Northern Territory), a 2015-16 residential bill was $1,524, excluding GST. This was made up of network costs (48%), wholesale costs (22%), environmental costs (7%), retail and other costs (16%) and retail margins (8%).
Sims said the primacy of network costs in rising bills was not widely recognised.
Since July 2016, retail price rises were likely to be driven by higher wholesale prices.
"We estimate that higher wholesale costs during 2016-17 contributed to a $167 increase in bills. The wholesale (generation) market is highly concentrated and this is likely to be contributing to higher wholesale electricity prices."
The ACCC estimates that in 2016-17 South Australia had the highest residential electricity prices, followed by Queensland, then Victoria and New South Wales. SA prices were roughly double those in Europe.
Sims said measures the government had already taken – notably telling companies to make customers aware of better deals, and its plan to scrap the process allowing companies to appeal against decisions of the Australian Energy Regulator – would help lower prices.
The ACCC is now looking in detail at further measures, ahead of making a final report. In the meantime, its preliminary report puts forward some suggestions. These include the states reviewing concessions policy to ensure consumers know their entitlements and concessions are well targeted to the needy, and a tougher stand against market breaches.
It says increased generation capacity (particularly from non-vertically integrated generators), preventing further consolidation of existing generation assets, and lowering gas prices could help reduce the pressure on bills.
The ACCC will also look at how to mitigate the effect of past investment decisions – but it notes that many are "locked in" and will continue to burden users for many years.
It will as well consider what more can be done to make it easier for consumers to switch suppliers.
The report says that "an increasing number of consumers are reporting difficulties meeting their electricity costs, and some consumers have been forced to minimise their spending on other essential services, including food and health services, to afford electricity bills.
"Businesses across all sectors have faced even higher increases over the past 12 months, following renegotiation of long term contracts. Many of these businesses cannot pass the increased costs on and are considering reducing staff or relocating overseas. Some businesses have even been forced to close."
The ACCC's final report will be released in June next year.

Interesting Taylor nugget: Layden is handling Jimmy Butler trade now
If there has been a sense that Tom Thibodeau, in his role as president of basketball operations, was in charge of the Butler situation, that sense has changed now.
October 17, 2018 — 10:52am
Welcome to the Wednesday edition of The Cooler, where it's almost finally time to watch the local NBA team play a game. Let's get to it:
*Sid Hartman was *probably* the only 98-year-old member of the sports media to get a scoop Tuesday when he got Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, who also owns the Star Tribune, on the record about several subjects related to the team and Jimmy Butler.
Taylor confirmed to Sid that the Wolves are actively working to trade Butler, saying: "Yes. I think [Butler has] made it very clear that he would not re-sign with us at the end of the year and therefore it is in our interest to get a trade so that we can get a player or two to replace him that helps our team."
When asked if Tom Thibodeau is coaching for his job, Taylor said: "No, no, the only thing now is that we are starting to play games and I am asking him to concentrate on coaching."
Along the lines of the last part is an interesting — though maybe not surprising given the timing — bit of information in which Taylor says more than once that GM Scott Layden, not Thibodeau, will be handling the day-to-day calls with other teams regarding a Butler trade.
"What I said to him in the meantime is our GM, Scott Layden, will be talking to other teams to see if there is a trade that works," Taylor said when asked what he and Butler talked about in a recent meeting. Later, Taylor added: "GM Scott Layden will help to see if any trades are available."
This makes sense because Thibodeau will have more than enough to keep him busy as the head coach with the season starting Wednesday (particularly given that the Wolves are playing catch-up with their chemistry after Butler was absent almost all of training camp). Butif there has been a sense that Thibodeau, in his role as president of basketball operations, was in charge of this deal throughout camp, that sense has changed now.
One other item of note: Taylor was asked if the Wolves would be able to give Butler the max contract (five years, $190 million) he covets next offseason if Butler had wanted to stay.
"We would have to make some changes on our team in order to keep Jimmy," Taylor said.
That's vague, but it goes back to the notion brought up when Butler was acquired last year that the Wolves — assuming they maxed out Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, which they did — would be in a tough spot if they wanted to have three max players.
*Butler posted on Instagram on Wednesday about being excited for the season to start, which I'm sure is genuine.
I had to laugh, though, when Butler referred to the offseason and the "so called 'drama'" of it.
In Butler's choreographed ESPN interview last week, he chided people in the Wolves organization for their lack of honesty. In this case, Butler needs to be honest. It wasn't so-called drama. It was drama. It still is drama. And he's driving it.
*The Gophers haven't won a Big Ten football game yet this year, but Nebraska hasn't won a football game of any kind this year. So it's maybe a little surprising the Huskers are favored by four points as of now in Saturday's game vs. Minnesota in Lincoln. Those are points earned on brand reputation only at this point.

Happy Easter! It's 7:19 PM as I begin this post. Better late than never, right?
My day started at 5:00 AM, as J.P. and I had to sing and I had to play my clarinet at the 7:00 and 9:00 services.
He put the ham in the oven and set it to come on at 8:00. Thankfully it did, and it didn't burn the house down (Hi Blurry! 😉 ). Our friends arrived around 1:00, and we ate. And ate. And ate. Everything was delicious. The glaze on the ham—brown mustard, brown sugar, bourbon, and crushed ginger snaps—was unbelievable. And also very, very sticky. We have the blackened pan to prove it. Note to self: next time, use a disposable pan. Update: Apparently, we're slow learners around here. (Read the last few sentences.) I thought that sentence sounded familiar!
As we were finishing up dinner, our 8-year-old guest headed out into the yard to hide eggs for three-year-old M and almost-two year-old J. Then the rest of us went out, and the kiddos had a blast hunting for them.
Now I sit here with J.P., his mom, and Maggie snoozing all around me. I've nearly succumbed to The Nap several times myself. But right now I think I hear some leftover ham calling to me from the fridge. Because apparently I didn't eat enough earlier.
It's a good thing my new 50mm f/1.4 lens arrived early last week. (Ask J.P. what happened to my old nifty fifty lens.) I had to try it out, and if I had waited until today to take this photo you probably wouldn't even be able to tell what color the jam is—there isn't much left.
J.P. won these preserves in a raffle last week. It was part of a basket of English teas and other goodies, and it was second prize. First prize was $146, and at first I was disappointed that he didn't win it. But then I tasted the jam, and I think we might've gotten the better end of the deal. I've been eating it on toast at least once a day since. (Yes, there was a day when I had some for dinner too.) And he's had it nearly every day as well. The label on this jar says, "By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen," and we know the reason why.
I don't know whether we'll ever be able to go back to Smucker's, but we definitely can't go on polishing off a jar a week. I almost wish I hadn't spotted it in the International section at Wegmans last week.
P.S. Isn't the lens great? All that nice bokeh means you can't tell how much crap is in the background.
I hate to waste things. I can't stand to throw away a perfectly good magazine, even though I've already read it. So we stack them on the coffee table until the pile is in danger of toppling over. Then we move it to the butler's pantry, and eventually I take everything to the doctor's office so patients in the waiting room can read six-month-old issues of Philadelphia Magazine instead of three-year-old issues of Numismatic News.
Every night, J.P. turns on the shower while he brushes his teeth. Because it seems to take FOREVER for our water to get hot, I'm fine with it running down the drain for a minute or two. But if the water is already hot because the dishwasher is running, or because I've already run enough to warm it up? It drives me crazy!
When J.P. started buying Oscar Mayer Ready to Serve bacon, he'd put it in a Ziploc bag after he'd opened it (inside its little plastic tub thingy). Then when the bacon was gone, he'd throw the bag away. What a waste! So we labeled the bag, and now we put it back in the drawer to wait until the next time we need it.
Yes, we eat the ready-to-serve bacon. No, we're not particularly proud of that fact. However, it's a heck of a lot easier than cooking real bacon, and there's a lot less packaging than the Hormel microwave version.
Would you believe that Oscar Meyer Mayer/Kraft Foods doesn't own the oscarmeyer.com domain?
Update: It seems Kraft does own the Oscar Mayer domain. But Oscar Meyer? Never heard of him.
So you may have been a little surprised when you saw my page load today. This is quite the switch from the dark brown template, wouldn't you say? For the moment I'm liking this one better. The only thing it doesn't have is a customizable header. BUT! It's bright enough and wide enough, and gosh darn it, people like it! (You do like it, right?) And also, the comments link is at the bottom of the post. Hooray!
That's it. My early Christmas present. From WordPress to me, and from me to you. Hope you're not disappointed. I know some people had trouble reading against the dark background, me included. So let's see where this takes us, shall we? Same old drivel, now with a bright new look!
I'm going to be fashionably late to Susie's cookie exchange party. I really want to join the fun, but just ran out of time tonight. There's a recipe for Sea-Salted Smoky Almond Chocolate Bark that I've been wanting to try. It sounds kind of weird, I know. The site says it's a "treat for the more sophisticated palate." Um . . . yeah, that's me. And if it's really disgusting? I also bought some butterscotch chips so I can make oatmeal scotchies. Not exactly Christmasy, but mmmmmm . . . don't they sound good?
Perhaps I could've made the almond bark—and probably the cookies too—in the time it took me to update my site and write this post.
J.P. and I returned from Minnesota on Sunday night, after two long days of driving. We had a good, relaxing vacation, and Maggie couldn't have been better with the kids, dogs, and birds, or as a passenger in the car.
I won't say I was looking forward to going back to work today—that would really be a stretch. But somehow it did seem almost like the first day of school and the fresh start it brings. After I got to the office, that feeling lasted for all of 20 minutes. It took me nearly all day to slog through my 200+ emails in between conference calls. So maybe tomorrow I can do some actual work!
When I put away the Easter decorations three weeks ago (Shut up! They weren't still sitting out—they were in "temporary storage" in the butler's pantry.), I found an unopened bag of Starburst jellybeans. I threw them into my bag for a road trip treat.
Note: This list applies only to Starburst jellybeans. The order may differ for Brach's or other run-of-the-mill brands. However, when black beans are in the mix they always top the least-favorite list, and they never see the inside of my mouth.
Can you believe how BAD the photo is??? Wow—my photography and Photoshop skills have really improved in the last year, if I do say so myself. My cleaning and organizational skills, however, have not. The pantry looks pretty much like this today. Hmm . . . maybe it just has a seasonal rotation . . . you know, like department store displays. This is its Summer Look.
Southwest chorizo egg burrito from Tejas.
Chocolate chip cookies from Sweet Martha's.
Milk to go with the cookies.
Cheese curds . . . of course!

I need a dessert for a 40th birthday party for 40-50 people, something easy to plate, doesn't require a walk-in, and seems special and delicious. I'm looking at the recipe in Butter Sugar Flour Eggs for German Chocolate Cake with Toasted Almond Coconut Goo. It looks not too hard to pull off, as a non-pastry chef, and as if two people in the kitchen could plate it up with one person to ferry it to the buffet table. Any experience with this recipe, or other suggestions, will be much appreciated.
I haven't tried the cake you mention (I don't have that book), but there's one in another of her books: _Just a Bite_ (I think that's the title) that would fit your needs.
It's a very chocolate cake with macadamia caramel sauce (so there's your goo factor). You cut little towers out of a fairly big cake, and top them with the sauce. On recipe serves a lot of people; you'd not need to do more that double it (if that).
I just checked over on Amazon, and the dish is called Chockablock Chocolate Cakes with Warm Macadamia Nut Caramel, and it's actually the item featured on the cover.
The only reason I haven't tried it is that I don't have the book. I don't discount it's "yummability" at all! Sounds great to me too!
and you'll know how to do it perfectly the second time.
Thanks for the feedback, bakerkel. More goo does sound like what to do.
And I confess, I often do make things for the first time for clients, even for big parties. Buit that habit doesn't translate well to baking, and thanks for the wrist-slap, chefpeon. The only think holding me back is not knowing what to do with the trial balloon except to eat it, which I really, really don't want to do.
Will it be unbearably sweet if I use what the recipe calls for? Anyone made one of these recently? TIA!
I would URGE you to try Cooks Illustrateds recipe. It is absolutely fantastic. It is the Jan & Feb 2005. It uses semi or Bittersweet choc + dutch cocoa. It would be well worth the $3.95/1 month fee if you are not a member.
Here's the link: German Chocolate Cake.
However, you have to be a member to see the recipe.
I concur with the Becca and the Cook's Illustrated recipe for German Chocolate Cake. I tested it a couple of months ago to see how well it worked and it was easy and delicious!
I brought half of it to work, as I don't need to eat a whole cake, and my co-workers devoured it!
Also, a co-worker asked me to make this same cake for his wifes birthday the following week.
I need to make a german choc cake for tomorrow - and tonight I need to make the filling. I have a few cans of dulche de leche from another project and wondered whether or not I can use those in place of having to boil sweetened condensed milk for hours. I need to fill an 11x15 cake (double layer of filling) so I'm going to need a lot of this!!
Slightly beat 1 egg in a medium saucepan. Stir in 5 oz. (2/3 c) evaporated milk, 2/3 c sugar, and 1/4 c butter. Stir over med heat 12 minutes or til thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/3 c coconut and 1/2 c chopped pecans; cool before using.
I have a few cans of dulche de leche from another project and wondered whether or not I can use those in place of having to boil sweetened condensed milk for hours.
Yeah, they're interchangeable. Using the canned dulce de leche is a lot faster than waiting 4 hours to caramelize sweetened condensed milk on the stove - and less risky, too. (I've never had a can explode, but it could happen!) You're just exchanging cost for time savings.
OTOH, some prefer the texture of a more traditional caramel with cream and butter. You can do this in the microwave in under 10 minutes (stirring frequently). A good middle ground, in my opinion.
The last time I made german choco filling, it tasted like over-rich pastry cream. I couldn't imagine eating more than a tablespoon of the stuff. Does anybody else find this to be true, or is that just how it's supposed to taste, perhaps as a sweet foil to the bittersweetness of the choco cake?
Thanks everyone - I have been using the recipe from epicurious for the inside-out german choc cake which calls for boiling the sweetened condensed milk to caramelize it.
I looked around and found a recipe that calls for heavy cream, and used that - it was good - different because the boiled milk has a more assertive caramel taste - but it worked and that's what I was after!
I have a wedding order next weekend with multiple cakes and one of the flavors they want is German chocolate. I don't believe I've ever actually made one before!
A lot of recipes use egg yolks. Is the goo still safe at room temp with the cooking and all that sugar? They are picking up the night before and heading to the woods with limited refrigeration. Would it be better to leave out the yolks and make a thicker caramel or substitute gelatin?
I love coconut so ill so I'll be happy to experiment, but any pro tips on shelf stable GCC fillings would be appreciated. My plan is to do naked cakes with acetate wrapped around so they'll travel well.
It would need refrigeration, I wouldn't trust it. But, the recipe mentioned above for inside out German chocolate from Epicurious would work. It's made with dulce de leche, nuts and coconut, so no eggs to worry about.
This won't qualify as scientific information but I never store my German chocolate cakes in the fridge. The last one I made was actually a thick layer of the filling on some super moist brownies and it spent almost a week on the counter before it was all eaten with no ill effects. I love the GCC filling, I don't even care if it has cake under it or not.
it does say refrigerate after opening but it should be fine overnight, right?
Should be ok overnight, it's low liquid and sterile to start with.
Remember, if you are ever worried about eggs, you can buy the pasteurized ones.
Should be no less safe at room temp than the traditional filling (though I'm not convinced it would actually be any more safe either) so you should be fine. I'm not of the understanding why the egg version would be any more problem than any other egg-containing high sugar cooked item that's kept at room temp. But I'm not trying to convince you to use it, you should do what you feel most comfy with.
Reporting back for future reference. I did use the La Lechera dulce de leche, added a little salt, vanilla extract, pecans and unsweetened coconut shred. The dulce de leche is super thick, would hold a swirl straight out of the can. I could have thinned it more, would also consider using half dulce de leche and half regular sweetened condensed milk next time for a runnier texture. So it might not be traditional, but it was easy and tastes good.
One of the finished cakes, wrapped in acetate, candied coconut shreds on top.
