We headed off on our trek to the Rainbow Bridge just as I told you we were going to..but it was very hard and as you know many of us are no longer young. Even with little Gon-Ba-Ma leading us we got lost... and then there was an avalanche. I am sure you have read of it in the news.
Some of us were rescued by kind and loving people...however, and my heart is aching to tell you this Dear Friends, Blue and Tansy did not survive. Oh, Dear Friends our hearts were broken.
Still, we had a paw circle and a celebration of life there amidst the snow and destruction. Margaret led us in Abide With Me and our broken little Gang held paws and hands and we prayed. We prayed for guidance and comfort for our grief and we prayed for strength. We knew that Tansy and Blue would want us to finish the journey...so we took them with us and we set off toward the Rainbow Bridge.
I won't go into to detail because my eyes are full of tears...but I will tell you we made it! Yes, we were at the Rainbow Bridge in Shambala. Lucy thanked her God in Spanish, Hurley thanked his God, Margaret, still bowed with grief for her best friend gave thanks and praise, Bond raced around with Gon-Ba-Ma ...and I...I just sat and stared at the eternal blue sky.
We saw the Bridge in hte distance! OMG! We saw the Bridge....and you know what??? Blue and Tansy were there ...Dusty was there and Chick Chick (do you remember Chick Chick?) and My Dearest Sister Lacey..and Pops was there too.. so we knew he had passed while we were gone. They waved to us and blew kisses and told us to cross over the Bridge....We ran towards them.
What a hard decision to make Dear Friends. What would you have done?
We sat and looked at each other and then we looked again at all of our loved ones waiting for us. We wanted to go but we knew our time had not yet come. We still have not finished our earthly journey and adventure and we had many loved ones still waiting for us at home. We all agreed we had to go home.
We waved goodbye and told Tansy, Blue, Lacey, Dusty, Pops and Chick Chick that we would be back. They understood and told us to give love and hugs to all their loved ones back at home...to tell them that they were well and happy and waiting...waiting.
This place was even more awesome in the daylight than it was at night. The same jewel fruits were now sparkling in the sunlight just as they did in the moonlight....diamond pears and emerald leaves, ruby cherries and topaz lemons, other fruits gems I had never seen before of blue and purple and orange. And the palace still shining on the top of the mountain.
When we had our fill of gazing out of the window we started to think about getting our fill of food again. Gon-ba-ma turned up as if by magic and told us to follow her to breakfast. We did. The monks were assembled as they had been the night before...and again we were given what we wanted to eat. This really must be Shambala.
The head monk asked our names and as we each spoke our name he shook his head. He told us we must have Tibetan names for our adventure in Shambala. Margaret's must be named Jestsunma which means Reverend Lady;.Blue, Jamyang...gentle voice; Tansy, Norbu...jewel; Bond, Namba...a gift; Lucy, Sengemo...lioness; Inka, Mampa..fabulous. And Me/Robbie, Tenzin,...holder of the teachings. We liked our names and practiced saying them. Tansy wanted to know exactly which jewel she was named for, she thought Diamonds were a dog's best friend! Lucy growled like a lioness with a Mexican accent...Blue said he was happy in his gentle, kind voice. Margaret, said she hoped it meant she was to be accepted as a Monkess? (is that a word) and be part of ceremonies in the Monastery? Inka said she had always known she was fabulous and was happy it was finally recognized. Bond just raced around and said he didn't care what he was called. And I didn't feel like I was the holder of any teachings ...I could barely remember what we were doing here.
After breakfast we wanted to go out sight-seeing and check out this wonderful place we were in. Gon-ba-ma said she would show us around ..but first...we had to decide WHY we had tried to find Shambala. Were our hearts pure enough to look beyond the earthly treasures? Was what we were seeking in the shining palace? Why had we started on this adventure? Were we to be side tracked as were most of the pilgrims who had stumbled on Shambala?
I checked back over my blogs and found this entry, this is what we contemplated many weeks ago, 'Bond says his great great great grandmother told him of a place that is soooo high that you can see the rainbow bridge and climb up it to meet with friends on the other side. He said it is a place where people and dogs become young again! And it is a place where ghost snow-dogs roam the mountains howling like the wind'. Gang this is what we came for...not jewels and food and comfort. We came to find the Rainbow Bridge and to find how to turn back time!!
Gon-ba-ma laughed and said 'then I will give you a very different tour of Shambala'. 'Jestsunma, Jamyang, Norbu ,Namba,Sengemo, Mampa, and Tenzin follow me, we have much to do to get ready for the journey to the Rainbow Bridge'. 'Many try to find it my friends but most can only reach the gate and then they turn back'.
I have to admit that sounded a little scary and I thought it was time for a paw circle. So we sat down and held paws and hands. Margaret led us in a prayer and then we sang our favourite hymn 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. Dear Margaret is so aptly named as Jetsunma, she has been our Reverend Lady through all of our adventures. We felt strong and courageous after our circle and we yelped, barked, howled and Yippeed that we were ready for the next step in our adventure!
Time seemed to fly into the thin mountain air when we lined up behind Gon-ba-mo and before you could say Shambala we were in the village of the singing voices and ringing bells.
Wow! How can I describe to you how different this village felt and looked. Shining in the mountain peaks was a magnificent palace which shone brighter than all the stars in the sky. The path to the palace was lined with trees whose branches were hanging with fruit made of precious stones. Colourful monasteries and mansions were dotted in the peaks and valleys all lit up with a strange Tiffany sort of lamplight shining from their windows. The snow fell around dancing and changing colour to match each building. We were speechless and barkless.
We asked Gon-ba-ma who lived in the palace and she told us that the mightiest King in all the world lived in the palace; the King who knew all the secrets of this world and all the others. I know it sounds a bit crass but all we wanted to know at the time was the secret of how to get some food and a place to sleep!
Gon-ba-ma laughed at us and told us to follow her. We did. She took us down a narrow path to a monastery where the monks dressed in their saffron robes were sitting down to eat their evening meal. They welcomed us and asked us to sit with them. We did. Oh how good the food was. As if by magic we all had the food we wanted the most. Of course it was vegetarian but everything was delicious and just perfect. Margaret had a fantastic Toad in the Hole (I didn't dare look at the toad) and Tansy, Mock Duck. Inka chose a plate of stew with a fluffy dumpling and Blue a cutlet with a side of kibble, Bond had a strange Tibetan dish, Lucy five tacos and a burrito and I/Me had my favourite burger with Caesar salad.
Dear travelers and seekers you are in Shambhala. When souls are not happy in their earthly home and they yearn for a better world then the soul is pushed to find Shambhala or Shangri La. Shambhala is a paradise where dreams can come true but you must believe it can exist to find it. This magical kingdom can only be found by believers who are pure in heart. In your world you have been conditioned to see first and then believe but to find Shambhala you must believe first. You have believed my friends and you have found.
Wow! It was all too much for us to take in.
Tansy had nodded off and the rest of us were not far behind. Gon-ba-ma understood and in a twinkle of a star we were in our own beds, soft and clean and warm. Oh Bliss.
I think we are going to like Shambhala when we see it in the morning.


I won't bore everyone with a lengthy review of the iPad Pro 10.5″. Reviews will be popping up everywhere as people get it, and some "big" sites got review units early.
Needless to say, the new iPad is fast. Like, really fast. I still haven't decided yet if it is primarily just the increased refresh rate of the screen which makes things appear "faster" to the eye or what. But regardless of what it actually is, this iPad is fast.
The screen is great. True Tone, which is on the 9.7″ iPad Pro as well, is very nice. The slight size increase does actually make a lot of difference. After using various iPads for so many years, it's nice to finally have one with a much smaller bezel.
As I said before, the new iPad is very fast, almost overkill right now though to be honest. iOS 11 will be more important than the latest hardware update. iOS 11 has the potential to really change how people use their iPads, especially with the newly beefed up hardware.
The Logitech Slim Combo is an alternative to the Apple branded keyboards with Smart Connector. It's (slightly) cheaper, and includes a case which protects the actual iPad itself. My initial Hands On post can be found here, so I won't repeat what I have already posted.
As shown above, the Slim Combo also includes a Pen holder, which is not available on the Apple set. The case is separate parts, so you don't need to have the keyboard connected at all times. The keyboard is almost full size. The keys are spaced fairly close together, but if you are used to a chiclet style keyboard, getting used to it is not an issue. The backlit keys (shown below) are nice, but what I noticed is they dim off after about 3-4 seconds of not touching the keyboard. This is a feature to minimize battery drain of the iPad since the Smart Connector is what is powering the keyboard itself.
The iPad Pro 10.5″ is a beast. It's fast, the screen is amazing, and from what I can tell so far the battery life is great too. But, it's limited by iOS 10. I will write up a more detailed review once iOS 11 hits the public, which will also be after a few months of use with the iPad Pro. If you have a 9.7″ iPad Pro, I do not recommend upgrading to the new 10.5″. It's just not worth it. But if you have an older iPad and are looking into something new, with Pen support, I see no reason not to buy it. If budget is a factor, look into buying the 9.7″ iPad Pro from stores such as Best Buy. They are selling them $150 off right now.
The Logitech Slim Combo is nice. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you have a specific use for the keyboard before spending so much money on a keyboard set though. It's highly responsive with little to no lag at all. The backlit keys are nice especially in low light situations. I honestly can't wait to use this along side iOS 11 just to see how productive of a kit it actually becomes. Keep an eye out for more info here on the site.

So, to celebrate the Olympics (and President's Day), Baby O and I made Rolo Turtles.
All you need are pretzels, Rolos and pecans (or any other nut.) I love that the pretzel bag says, "The Pretzel Men"...where are the "Women"?
I've never been able to capture Baby O's attention very long (he's 1.7)...but he loved unwrapping the Rolos and putting them on top of the pretzels. He did a pretty good job and it was cute to see him trying to sneak a bite every now and then.
I had to capture a picture of the Rolo's wrappers...perfect color for the Olympics...Gold & Silver...Go Team USA!
Then you place them in the oven at 300-350 degrees for 4 minutes.
Then place a pecan (or other nut) on top of the melted Rolos.
I made half without nuts, but next time I think I would make them all with nuts...those were a hit, even with Baby O.
look yummy but can't have. maybe just one or two.
Rolos are my husbands fav candy. He is going to LOVE these! Thanks for such a sweet idea!

19/01/2018: Biggest Stories in the Cryptosphere
1. Infrastructure Could Soon Be Paid For with Cryptocurrency in São Paulo
The Brazilian state of São Paulo is considering the issuing of its own cryptocurrency, which would be called Buildcoin. The coin would be used to pay for engineerings conducting feasibility studies for the infrastructure system, a necessity for large construction projects. The move would allow the state and the city, of the same name, to attract more investors to the city, as the government would be able to afford to pay for independent studies and access skilled engineers. Furthermore, it would cut costs as well as increasing transparency and speed. The Secretary of Treasury State Hélcio Tokeshi said that São Paulo was closely monitoring the blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies which are seen as sources of innovation. Even a former informal advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump stated that cryptocurrencies could be the solution to infrastructure under investments. This seems to go against Brazil previous move to ban to ban cryptocurrency investments for local investment funds.
2. Bitcoin Futures To Be Cleared for Clients by Morgan Stanley
The financial services company Morgan Stanley had decided to start clearing its clients' Bitcoin Futures. Jonathan Pruzan, Chief Financial Officer and Executive VP, announced the decision on Thursday, January 18. However, the firm is not the first one to offer the service as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. previously stated it would clear Bitcoin Futures issued by Cboe and CME for its clients. Coinbase is even marketing its Coinbase Custody product to institutional investors, due to the increasing interest by them shown. This could also result in an increase in price for cryptocurrencies.
3. Wall Street Creates Global Cryptocurrency Data Feed
The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is developing a global cryptocurrency data feed that should be up and running by Q1 2018. ICE's new landing page reads:
"Our Cryptocurrency Data Feed, available on the ICE Consolidated Feed, gives you access to streaming real-time, end of day and historical data for the most actively traded digital currencies."
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) is the owner of many exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as well as subsidiaries in Singapore and Netherlands. The company is a Fortune 500 based in Atlanta. On the other hand, its partner Blockstream is a private company. It is also more focus on bitcoin core applications such as sidechains, and Bitcoin-related projects funding.
4. France And Germany To Jointly Propose Bitcoin Regulation at G20 Summit
France and Germany will both make a proposal to help regulate Bitcoin at the next G20 summit, taking place in March in Argentina. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Thursday
"We will have a joint Franco-German analysis of the risks linked to bitcoin, regulation proposals and these will be submitted as a joint proposal to our G20 counterparts at the G20 summit in Argentina in March,"
Le Maire also told reporters that the responsibility to educate citizens on cryptocurrencies and safeguarding them rely on the governments. The words came following Bitcoin fell to below $10,000 earlier this week. Many figures have been wary of cryptocurrencies but this could be the first time a cross-country approach is adopted.

What's up with WOTUS?
Kristine A. Tidgren
Just when many thought the 2015 Clean Water Rule or "WOTUS" was relegated to the archives of history, it has been revived. In fact, as of mid-September 2018, WOTUS is the controlling definition for "waters of the United States" in 22 states. As of September 18, 2018, Iowa was no longer among them. And the status for the remaining states could change at any time. The saga—a case study on the intricacies of administrative law—is far from over. In the meantime, landowners planning activities potentially impacted by WOTUS face uncertainty.
WOTUS defines those waters over which the federal government has Clean Water Act jurisdiction. Section 402 of the CWA authorizes the EPA to issue permits for discharges of "pollutants" through a "point source, such as certain confined animal feeding operations. Section 404 of the CWA authorizes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to issue permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material into "navigable waters." Landowners must get these permits if they want to conduct most any activity on an area determined to be a "wetland." People who discharge pollutants or fill material without obtaining a permit face fines up to $37,500 per day per violation, in addition to potential criminal penalties.
WOTUS, which was issued on May 27, 2015, identifies eight categories of "jurisdictional waters," which include "tributaries" and "adjacent waters." The majority of U.S. states, as well as industry and farming groups, immediately filed lawsuits challenging the implementation of WOTUS. They generally argued that the new Rule greatly increased the percentage of waters in the United States subject to CWA jurisdiction and that the new definition was so expansive that many more landowners would have to obtain permits or pay fines for conducting normal activities such as spraying weeds, installing a fence, or removing trees. States argued that the Rule impinged upon their sovereignty because it sought to regulate intrastate waters over which states have sole jurisdiction.
By the time WOTUS was effective August 28, 2015, a North Dakota district court judge had already prevented its enforcement in 13 states. In October of 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit stayed WOTUS nationwide, determining in February 2016 that it was the proper court to rule on the merits of all pending claims challenging the rule.
Change in Administration, Change in Policy
By this time, however, the new President Trump had made it clear that he would work to rescind WOTUS. On February 28, 2017, he directed the EPA and the Corps to prepare for public notice and comment a proposed rule to rescind or revise the embattled rule. The Executive Order said that officials should consider incorporating into any new rulemaking the definition of "navigable waters" suggested by Justice Scalia in Rapanos: "only those wetlands with a continuous surface connection to adjacent waters covered by the Clean Water Act are 'waters of the United States.'" On June 27, 2017, the agencies took the first step of what they called a two-step process to review and revise the definition. Their proposed rule sought to replace the stayed WOTUS rule and recodify "the exact same regulatory text that existed prior to the 2015 rule." Step two, which has not happened, was to be a review of the appropriate scope of "waters of the United States" and a new definition.
Although the Sixth Circuit had issued a stay to prevent enforcement of WOTUS pending the resolution of litigation, the agencies did not want WOTUS to go into effect if that stay was lifted. They had also received 680,000 public comments on the proposed repeal. Needing time to respond to the comments and develop a new definition, the agencies, in November of 2017, proposed a "Suspension Rule" to delay the applicability date of WOTUS to February 6, 2020. The agencies stated that they would work during this time to create a new rule and would continue to operate under pre-2015 law, which required analyzing jurisdictional questions under an ambiguous, yet somewhat less controversial "significant nexus" test.
U.S. Supreme Court Decision Changes Everything
This plan began to unravel on January 22, 2018, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Circuit had improperly exercised jurisdiction over the WOTUS lawsuits. Instead, the high court ruled that the lawsuits should have been heard by the federal district courts. In National Association of Mfrs v. Department of Defense, No. 16-299, the Court specifically found that because WOTUS fell outside the ambit of 33 U.S.C. §1369(b)(1), challenges to the Rule must be filed in federal district courts.
The agencies finalized their Suspension Rule on February 6, 2018, but environmental groups immediately challenged its validity. When the Sixth Circuit lifted its stay on WOTUS on February 28, 2018, in response to the Supreme Court decision, only the Suspension Rule kept WOTUS at bay.
WOTUS Now In Effect in 22 States
Then, on August 16, 2018, a South Carolina district court judge enjoined the Suspension Rule, finding that the agencies had failed to comply with administrative law when finalizing the Rule. They had not, the court found, properly solicited and considered public comments on the impact of the delay of WOTUS. This means that WOTUS immediately became effective in any state where a district court had not issued an injunction preventing its application. Previous orders from district courts in North Dakota and Georgia stop WOTUS from being applied in 24 states. On September 12, a Texas district court temporarily enjoined WOTUS with respect to three more states (Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi), pending resolution of a legal challenge to the rule in that court. And, on September 18, the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota, in response to a request by Iowa Governor Reynolds, added Iowa to the list of states where WOTUS will not be enforced. The pre-2015 "waters of the United States" legal framework applies in those states. This leaves 22 states, however, now subject to WOTUS.
Shortly after the South Carolina decision, the agencies issued a public statement saying that are continuing to review the court decision and "have filed motions appealing the order and seeking a stay of the district court's decision. While the litigation continues, the agencies are complying with the district court's order and implementation issues that arise are being handled on a case-by-case basis."
Future?
The current Administration remains committed to repealing and revising WOTUS. As the events of the past months have shown, however, revising a final administrative rule is complicated and time consuming. Administrative law requires proper notice, time for comments, and a demonstration that all comments have been properly considered. The agencies have appealed the South Carolina court's order to the Fourth Circuit. The status quo could change any time.
We will keep you posted as this complex matter continues to play out in court.

BEARDO TAKES GROOMING TO TIER-II CITIES
Sujot Malhotra, CEO, Beardo, talks about the VIP programme that the company considers as its most strategic initiative to build customer loyalty
BY Archana Khatri Das
Sujot Malhotra, CEO, Beardo, talks about the VIP programme that the company considers as its most strategic initiative to build customer loyalty and become the most trusted brand in lifestyle, grooming, and personal care for men.
Q] Let's talk about your recent campaign 'For Beardos Only' with Indian actor Yash
The campaign is not a restage of the VIP programme, which we have developed over the last one year. We are aggressively pursuing our VIP club — an exclusive club of people who engage with us consistently through content, product development, or even purchases. From a strategic lens, it's one of the big-ticket initiatives for us. The campaign is an invitation to people to come and join the club. The brand has been built on the idea of alpha male personality — style, confidence, looks — everything that makes it up. Yash and Beardo have been synonymous since 2019 — the first time he came on board as a user first and an endorser later. As a personality, he is very close to the kind of brand that we are trying to build.
Q] What kind of metrics are you trying to achieve with the VIP programme?
As of today, we have more than 3,00,000 consumers enrolled in the programme. We are aiming for at least 50 to 100% increase in the number of enrolments. We want to build it as one of our strategic strengths. The first film with Yash has been a major draw. We have recorded over six million views for the campaign and interactions have reached close to a million. One video has been released till now, and our next major event will be a mix of sales and communication.
Q] What kind of growth are you looking for Beardo in the next two to three years?
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of a listed organization, Marico. So, I can't talk about numbers. We always aspire to grow between 1.5 x and 2x, year on year. The aim is to make Beardo a one-stop destination for men — whether it's fashion, lifestyle, personal care or grooming. It should not just be a brand with the most cutting-edge products available for consumers, but also one of the most trusted brands when it comes to quality and trends in the fashion space. We are doing well, but have miles to go. We're still a sub-Rs 100-crore organization. Last year, we did around Rs 65 crore, which was de-growth compared to the year before due to the pandemic. But we are growing handsomely, in the range of 50 to 100%.
Q] What kind of brand loyalty do you enjoy among your consumers?
We have an engaging consumer base, which resonates with the positioning and persona of the brand. To name a few, our beard growth oil, Ultra Blue Body Wash, charcoal face wash, are real rock stars in our portfolio. We see very high consumer repeat and retention rates for these products as opposed to the others. We have a large bouquet — close to 150 plus SKUs. Obviously, not every product enjoys similar retention rates. But the star products of our portfolio enjoy good loyalty.
Q] How are you planning to achieve your growth milestones by largely staying focused on tier- I cities?
I would say, pre-COVID we used to be urban-centric, heavily inclined toward the metros. As the pandemic ebbed, large industries have seen a phenomenal change, accessibility has really gone up in tier-II and tier-III cities, but definitely not rural. If it's a question of urban or rural, it's definitely urban, given our price points, they're fairly expensive. I believe we're no longer a metro-focused brand. We have widened our base significantly in tier-II and -III cities. Reasons could be many — a significant chunk of our consumers have gone back to their hometowns and are working from there, products are now available on e-commerce platforms. It all depends on how we approach our consumers, and accessibility and availability are never a challenge. Our availability net is as wide as 95% of India's pin codes.
Q] How do you derive your consumer insights?
One of the largest vectors remains the VIP programme. We engage with our consumers effectively, listen to them online. There are enough digital avenues to reach out to consumers and invite them to engage on specific agendas. We conduct surveys, ask questions on our social media sites to which buyers respond. Whenever we launch a product, people comment and we circulate a review form after every purchase. And, of course, we try every product promoted on our site. That's our ground to experiment. All new launches go to our website first, where we study the consumer response before taking them onto other channels.
Q] What opportunities do D2C companies have in social commerce in 2022?
It's an evolving space and social commerce has many definitions. I've still not been able to zero in on one, technically speaking. Instagram is social commerce and all brands, including Beardo, derive a majority of sales through that. The extreme form of social commerce — one-on-one selling — is an influencer using his or her fan-base to be able to sell a product. We've not reached the peak of Instagram and Facebook-led selling, which is classically social commerce. As per newer definition, social commerce, where individual stores and individual influencers become sellers, is an evolving field. I see a lot of action now with new players, marketplaces entering the sphere. I think it'll become big with time. But, I would say we are still in the early days of social commerce.

What's going on in Olympic Boxing? | Olympic Update | Talkin' Fight
Episode 12 What's going on in Olympic Boxing? | Olympic Update | Talkin' Fight
Boxers preparing for the Olympics include those in the Philippines is in the news on this episode, and is the news that gyms in the UK are opening. Join us on our on-going exploration of the Olympics to be held in Tokyo 2021, featuring Christian from the Friday Night Panel, and the route to the ring. Watch TalkinFight weekdays at 12, 4, 7, and 8:30pm EST on YouTube or LIVE at talkinfight.com/live @Olympic @IOC Media @torchrelay @AIBA
Hello boxing fans around the world welcome once again to another episode of talk and fight in this case we're talking specifically about the olympics to be happening in july and, more specifically, boxing so uh.
I read some articles that were pretty disappointing on the weekend.
With respect to what the japanese officials might be thinking with respect to possibly canceling the olympics, did you find out any more information on this uh? Specifically? No, i mean on that particular front.
As you know, we reported the other day that they are still talking both the vaccine minister, as well as the prime minister and everyone else are saying that.
Yes, we may still have to make that decision to cancel the olympic games.
The very next day uh, the head of the uh, the head of the ioc as well as the head of the japanese tokyo 2020 uh committee, came out and said: no, we are absolutely going forward with the games.
Absolutely there's.
Nothing has changed on that front.
So this is kind of a situation of the right, doesn't know what the left's doing so to speak, but at the same time, they're going to start floating this idea early just in case it does come down to it so that they can say, hey.
We'Ve been telling you this for a month now, even as they say no we're going forward we're going forward we're going forward, they can plant this in the back your mind.
So when it, if it does happen, i can say: hey guys, we've been telling you.
This is going to happen for months now, yeah.
So there's really no news to uh report on that particular front, so we're gon na hope things just continue to keep plugging away on that.
As far as that goes yeah, we have seen the beginnings of the fallout, though from the cancellation of the americas tournament.
Unfortunately, one of our own someone that we've uh talked about on the show here before is in a bit of a rough spot as a result of that cancellation.
So i thought we'd take a little bit of a look at that today.
Canadian boxer, mandy bujold has hit another huge roadblock in the tokyo 2020 qualifying uh, and this one may be insurmountable after a competitive year that was wiped out by covet 19.
The 11 time national flyweight champion from kitchener ontario uh had hoped to fight her way into an olympic birth at the america's olympic qualifier scheduled in buenos aires next month, but in my rising cases of the global pandemic in argentina.
The event was cancelled on thursday.
Now we covered that last thursday, bujold tweeted, to say that i'm heartbroken would be an understatement, so she recently sat down with uh with a report from tsm and they went through uh a few things uh a few things there.
So this this is going to be peppered with a few quotes from man.
Just give you an idea what's going on here, so the 49 quota spot slated to be awarded at the event will now be allocated via the ioc boxing task force.
Ranking bujold doesn't currently have the ranking because she took she took time off to give birth.
Her daughter, kate, was born in the summer of 2018 and then the pandemic wiped out last season's schedule.
Now she did have three top podium finishes since her return from childbirth, but none of them were at events that contributed towards the selection rankings.
So, according to bujold, she says there were literally three events in the last 16 years that i didn't attend and of course those are those three events are being considered for ranking points but yeah.
The two-time pan-american games champion wasn't seated for the olympic qualifier, but she says that she was confident that she would be able to fight her way to a top four and then qualify herself.
She says, though, stating that now they're taking away the only opportunity that i have to actually be able to prove that hey, i'm still here, i didn't go anywhere.
That'S the most frustrating part is not being able to actually prove and show all the work that you've been putting in all the training camps, all the money all the time.
It'S just unreal.
The continental qualifies, as we know, were originally scrapped.
Last march, due to the uh pandemic, now bujold would have been the first female boxer for canada to box at consecutive olympics and now, as some of you guys, are going to remember, an illness derailed her dreams in 2016 at the rio games just hours before her Quarter final loss to china's red and cancan, she was ill in hospital and on an iv drip so uh.
She ended up having to settle for fifth place in that tournament and bujold's, now wondering about the fairness of an olympics.
That we'll see some talk at some top athletes unable to qualify, and i think she's thinking a little bit along your lines here, graham because this is parroting some of the stuff that i've heard you mentioned once or twice here, and she says i understand that the Organizing committee and everybody they're all trying to deal with this as it's happening.
So it's not like i'm trying to put blame on anyone adding, but if you're trying to create an olympics and the olympics is supposed to be the best of the best athletes and now we're in a situation – and we know that it's not just us.
I think that sorry, i think it is not just us there are 35 sports still looking to qualify you're, not necessarily going to get the best of the best people you're going to get the people who kind of happen to fall within the new criteria.
So bujold hadn't been monitoring the cove at 19 cases in argentina or at home because, according to her, it just causes her to stress and worry saying she's just trying to stay focused on what she's doing in maintaining her home gym saying.
That'S basically all she's done throughout this entire pandemic.
As we know, both argentina and ontario are reeling in the pandemic's third wave.
After recording more than 52 000 new cases combined on tuesday and wednesday, argentina has announced that it was closing schools and uh implementing a new curfew in an effort to flatten its steep spike.
Boujoul says i feel like even the uncertainty of the i'm sorry, i feel like even the uncertainty of the olympics.
How are they even going to be able to go and put this all together? I don't know in my mind, i guess you just have to keep fighting you got to keep pushing and while there's an olympics to push for, i still know that, in the back of my mind, there's a chance that the olympics will still get called off.
Cancellation of the qualifier affects the entire canadian boxing team.
Uh bujo believes that just two women so far, tamara theobald and miriam da silva are ranked high enough to earn quota spots under the new criteria now bujold.
It should be noted here that brutal has spoken to a lawyer who believes that she may have a discrimination case based on her maternity absence, and she is hoping that boxing canada, as well as the canadian olympic committee, are willing to go to bat for in perhaps Persuading the ioc into rethinking its ranking criteria now when asked boxing, canada did not respond for a request for a comment, though.
Unfortunately, it's been a rough year for canadian boxers uh.
That goes beyond the absence of just uh.
This part of of competition back in february bujold, as well as 18 of her teammates, were all forced into isolation after the national team, training in montreal was cut short due to a po due to positive covet 19 tests.
So that's the first of the fallout gram that we're seeing from this uh cancelled.
Well, it's the first of all we're seeing here at home.
I should say based on this new uh qualification criteria for the americas, so carl's turning in here, yeah well, while you're reading that uh, which is too bad because uh i follow mandy's instagram posts, uh and i can't but like what she posts is actually her training Schedule and her regimen and i can't believe, a how cr creative it is, but how intense it is.
So this woman is going hard day after day, uh practicing uh to be as best as she can possibly be in order to compete at the highest of high levels when it comes to life.
So i'm blown away by this.
This is uh.
You know there must be a ton of other athletes in the same scenario, i think well, it's putting her in the same kind of boat as some of her younger uh competitors as well.
Who, although you know they may be absolutely in a position where they would qualify via tournament? They don't have those rankings stacked up over since 2017.
, but in her case it's matt leave uh, but in other people's cases just they were.
They were competing as a youth.
At the time, so they just they don't have that those rankings backing them up and is it fair? No, absolutely not.
Will we see boxing canada get involved over a single boxer trying to qualify for the olympics under this new criteria? I think it's unlikely.
Unfortunately, i don't see them going to bat, and i don't see anything really changing on this and all you're going to hear from the ioc side of things is guys we're doing everything we can we're just trying to get this thing off the ground and we're just Trying to get it going so are they going to be reviewing case by case? I hope so, but i'm not optimistic, i would interject no.
They don't have to do case by case they can simply say, there's an amendment to our policy and or procedures with respect to women who may have taken off the time from maternity leave, for example, and and just take back uh that period of time when they Were eligible uh to compete, and if they were eligible a year ago, then they should be able eligible today.
That'S how i feel common sense would dictate that, but of course, uh being involved in huge organizations such as olympic organizing committee yeah.
Maybe it's not that straightforward for them, but i mean if i was a woman and i had taken time off to have a baby, i'm sure there's plenty of women who would agree with me and say yeah absolutely.
This should be a absolute clear-cut case where all women, if they've taken off maternity time, should be allowed to compete in the olympics if they once qualified at an international ranking level yeah without that or so you're, suggesting that they take that they take.
That chunk of time that they were absent and they simply take that and look at the rankings from prior to 2017.
so make their rankings go back to 2016 is what you're saying well in a nutshell, let's just say: let's just say, the gold medal winner of The 2016 olympics in any event for some peculiar reason, was disqualified due to covid because they were either taking time off for maternity or simply could not compete in any sanctioned qualifying event because of code again, then.
Yes, i would take that uh time period away.
It disappears and if they qualify never still eligible and they still want to compete and and therefore are deemed as a top-ranked, boxer or athlete they should be allowed to compete.
Yes, that's what i'm saying well, i think you should put that in an open letter and send it off to bucks in canada, the ioc and uh and the boxing task force and we'll see what we can't get some uh we'll go, throw it up on change.
org, We'Ll get some signatures behind us, uh yeah right now.
I don't think i'm that much of an influencer um, but that's my opinion, uh and i'm pretty sure a kajillion women around the world would agree with me, if not men but uh, i'm pretty sure.
I'M right! Uh, you know, i think it's unfair uh, that a covet has intervened in a lot of people's lives.
That'D be complete waste of time, yep uh, but anyway, the point of the matter is uh women.
If they've taken time off due to maternity or any athlete who's been impacted negatively by covet, should have their ranking reinstated uh due to what was brother, where they were positioned prior to covet breaking out simple solution.
Again, i don't think it's that simple, just based on the fact that well you're away, no nobody else's rankings have frozen.
Everybody else is still moving up and down those rankings.
The whole time that you're away so it's hard to say that you're just gon na okay.
Well, i was ranked fifth, let's say in the world: i just take a step out and they should just reinsert me back in my previous ranking.
When i come back, that's i mean there's just too many moving parts to do something to do it that way.
Okay, let's take another support: uh, i'm the governing body of hockey, canada and i want to field the best hockey competitors on my hockey team.
It'S a subjective opinion i'm going to invite 30 people based on not their rankings, but do i believe to be the best of the best.
Surely uh boxing canada can take a look at who is currently the best boxers that canada can supply to the olympics and and choose based on a valid opinion? Well yeah, but the problem is: is canada we as a country as any national olympic committee, aren't guaranteed any spots at the olympics, so yeah we can say we're putting our best people forward, but those people still have to qualify.
You know canada isn't given you know, we get x amount of boxes we get to send to the olympics.
So here are our best we might get.
We might try our best.
I don't get zero boxes at the olympics.
Okay, but in the absence of qualifying events, surely there must be another solution.
All i'm saying is is if canada was entitled to send four boxers.
I don't know, i don't know what the normal is, but uh there must be some kind of averaging normal number.
Well, that's like that's.
My point is that there is no.
There is no entitled to send anything.
There'S 49 places for all of north and south america and central america combined.
They might all go to south americans might all go to north america, it's okay! So all i'm saying is: is in the absence of uh some kind of ranking system based on a qualifying event.
Surely common sense would dictate they can average this out and say, based on who you've previously supplied to the olympics? Your current population base your current weight in terms of boxing stature, someone like mandy, who is a top-ranked professional, uh, amateur uh in in in women's boxing.
She should be entitled to go in my humble people.
I do i i do hope they find a way to get her there.
I just i'm not holding out on hope on this.
One is all i say right i mean i would love to see to see mandy box at tokyo, but i i just don't see it happening because i think there's too many moving parts for them to try to implement something.
The way that you're saying that it should go forward and it's just not the way that they allocate because no country is, is guaranteed if we start looking at just the size of the country.
How many boxers can you feel things like that? Looking at population density and other other things to try to determine how many spots each country should get as opposed to the quotas for the americas, then all of a sudden, you see a country like cuba, for example, that traditionally does very well at the uh.
In boxing international boxing events has a very small population, though so maybe they're only allowed to send one box or now based on this.
This thing that you're proposing here as opposed to the us, because they have hundreds of millions of people who might be able to field 20 boxers now yeah.
So i think so again it doesn't there's a lot of moving parts, and i know that – and you know mandy boujole made a great point.
You know these people are trying to put this together in real time.
As you know, the government of our because it wasn't the ioc, you said no, i don't think we're going to do this.
It was the government of argentina that said this can't go on.
We can't support these athletes coming in.
So that's why this was that's.
Why this has been canceled? The ioc has said it's too close to that tournament to in to be able to for us to either reschedule it or simply relocate it.
So and that's why we're moving on to this new system and we're still hoping that the european qualifier is going to go ahead for is going to go forward, but given if the ioc had their way, these guys would still be fighting in buenos aires.
In a couple of weeks time, so it's all about moving parts because it's it's, it's not one.
Centralized group of people making a decision.
We have a centralized group of people reacting to outside influences what we've got and they can only do with you know they can only do what what they're allowed to do.
So, at the end of the day, the government of argentina says nope, that's all they can do and again i and i know florida would be happy to take all that one on orlando would be happy not only for the lives, i'm sure they would take the Qualifier, too, but with less than four weeks to go before the actual tournament too many moving parts to move that many remember it was like 400 people or something like that or no sorry, it was 1400 people.
Uh is once we got everything involved with not just the fighters, but also judges, referees officials, volunteers, who are helping actually create that event.
There was a lot of people there involved.
It can't be that hard.
I mean those 1400 people seriously.
Those 1400 people wouldn't care.
Whether they're taking a flight to buenos aires or orlando, quite frankly, you know orlando – is more than capable of accepting 400 people.
That'S a that's a few plane loads in any given day, uh that arrive in any given hour uh for those 1400 people to go visit disney world.
So the 1400 people have already had their roles assigned to them.
They already know what their job is, so, whether they're hopping on the plane upon series or orlando would not make a difference so to say.
There'S moving parts you have moving parts but to say that their roles would change.
No, they wouldn't would they care, whether or not but you're going to take people from all over the globe and get every one of them a us visa now, with less than four weeks trick here.
That'S that those are the type of moving parts that i'm talking about.
It'S not whether or not so and so sitting ringside to judge this belt or not, and it's not a it's things like how do you get that many people us visas for you? For you or me, no problem, we would say it's an open border, no visas required.
Oh you know just it's.
It'S free free access to get down to an event like that.
But if you're coming – let's say you're boxing for venezuela – let's say you, let's say you're boxing, let's see, let's say you're boxing right, so you're a cuban boxer.
So sorry, the reason i was laughing is because that last comment uh.
No, the reason orlando came up is because the mayor of orlando months ago offered up orlando to host the actual olympics uh when japan was fluctuating uh quite a few months ago.
So we we joked about it, and so we continue to joke about it.
But it is uh not necessarily a serious option, but i'm debating the point i mean the christians point about visas.
Could we not have it in a sovereign state where the sovereign state says? First of all, 1400 people is not a hill of beans.
We'Ve got major hotels who can easily accept that number of people uh and, quite frankly, there are some states right now accepting tourism uh as a bona fide way of generating revenue for their sovereign state.
So can they accept 1400 olympic officials and athletes absolutely, and would those people do the exact same thing in x number of boxing rings? Yes, they would would it matter to them whether it's buenos aires or xyz sovereign state.
The answer is no wouldn't matter to them.
At all, so, is there a solution sure there is uh: are they being gon na implement that solution within within four weeks? Okay, the event is no longer being held in buenos aires, uh, it's being held in the cayman islands, okay book, your ticket, okay tickets.
What'S so hard about that again, it's moving parts, it's logistics at this part and that's what the and that's what they said from from day one on this, and but you know to your point there are there are things that are happening in the world uh right Now, let's, let's, let's move on from this one, just just a little bit, because my phone, my phone's, going my phone's going crazy right now go ahead, which means you're, upsetting people um! That'S why i would turn mine into airplane mode.
Before we start talking keeps just keeps us good, uh, eddie, hearn, eddie, hearn, joshua, fury fight they're, this close to making an actual announcement, and carl just brought this up a moment ago that if it goes ahead that uh fury may not have his corner man with Him who might be at the olympics? Why? Because this fight is now due to take place theoretically on the 24th of july, which is the first day of olympic competition, so eddie and the owners not bringing this up at all, is because eddie hearn has come out and said that he believes that the joshua Fury fight is a bigger event than the olympic games, not just boxing at the olympic.
He believes that people that globally, that one fight is bigger than the olympic games all together.
So that's why he has no problem with it being scheduled at the same time as the olympics figures that still make a ton on pay-per-view figures.
The broadcast money is still going to be there now.
What he's not saying is that, because he's just he's posturing, what he's not saying is: oh yeah, i mean it's also going to take place in uh, saudi arabia and it'll be the middle of the night uh during it for tokyo.
So there will be no olympic games going on at the time.
He'S not saying any of he's just saying.
No, absolutely we're bigger than the olympics.
Uh people are gon na walk people are gon na watch uh.
The olympics are gon na watch us because there's no olympics on for them to watch, because it's going to be like four in the morning cause.
I think the idea is to have the fight scheduled for uh prime time uh, either middle of the afternoon gmt or uh or prime time whatever.
Whatever it is, they end up actually doing it, but saudi it'll be middle of the afternoon for a gmt.
I'D have to guess just based on prime time there so not entirely sure how that's gon na look but uh eddie hearn seems to think that that's what we're all gon na be doing is watching uh joshua fury as opposed to the olympics, as opposed to them.
Just not being on, but i'm just happy to hear that a hopefully we're two events that i'm looking forward to and i'm hoping both of them go forward and, as usual, we're waiting on an announcement on both of them.
Every day to your earlier point in moving along from there, though, there are things that are happening in the world: okay, the aiba world men's and women's youth championships are actually currently being held.
The 52 nation international tournament is actually the first may, and this is why this is important.
It'S the first major competition under the new aida president umar kremlev, who was elected as the leader of the embattled federation, just back in december of 2020 and additionally uh olympic champion estevan kovacs, uh recently stepped in as secretary general on march 22nd.
You guys will know this, because we've covered this on the show.
Now this is, as the aiba tries to stabilize its government under a close watch of the ioc which suspended the federation back in may of 2019.
Again, you guys all know this.
The two week, youth championships, formally called the cadet world championships and were first contested in 1979, are being staged in poland for the first time and the event is being held at the hala legionov sports complex with more than 400 boxers entering the ring and with medals.
At stake in equal 10 weight divisions for both men and women, so that's another actual.
A good point.
That'S uh coming up here is that they've actually expanded the women's weight classes to match the number of men's weight classes in this as well.
So we're seeing it happening at the youth level now so, hopefully we're going to see these expanded weight classes.
It'S going to move up through the uh amateur ranks until we start seeing them at the olympic level as well.
Now kremlov opened the event at a grand ceremony without spectators and with limited guests due to covet 19 safety measures, like everywhere else in the aiba's bid to ensure integrity and refereeing and judging while being more transparent.
It'S formalized belt review procedure introduced at the senior level in 2019 and live public scoring are being implemented for the first time at a major youth event.
Now this is important.
I want to just get in a little bit into the details of what that is just because this is going to be the same type of scoring you're going to be seeing.
You still you'll not be seeing at all aipa events as well as getting into uh olympic of the scoring as well so regarding the live.
Scoring procedures scores from each round by each judge will be publicly displayed after the first two rounds.
Additionally, at the end of round three, the final scores will be publicly displayed after the official announcement of results in terms of the belt review process, the team manager or head coach of the losing boxer was going to have 15 minutes after the decision is announced in Order to submit their protest and then complete the paperwork forward over the next 30 minutes.
With five judges per match, the decision any decision – that's either scored five nil or four one.
Those aren't going to be reviewable, as the only possible option would still be a split decision of 3-2 uh.
That'S that's explained by an aipa statement, so it's either.
It already has to be a split decision in order for you to be able to actually challenge this, because otherwise you can challenge.
There'S gon na be no difference anyway, if technically, if the technical delegate determines that consulting about review jury after consulting me at brett virginia, let's try that in english, if the technical delegate determines after consulting the belt review, jury that the protest should be allowed to proceed, The belt will be reviewed at that time by the jury, the observer, the referee evaluator and the judge evaluator evaluator, the the jury's decision must be unanimous and that decision will be final.
So the new secretary general kovacs said that he's looking forward to uh cooperation with kremlov to get the aiba ship back on course, stating aiba is undergoing a period of global reforms.
All of them are necessary for boxing to develop as a sport loved by millions of people around the globe, so that our athletes and coaches show the best results in international competitions at all levels.
I see the new aida leadership as headed in the right direction and is committed to working with a full dedication to support and reinforce this course of positive change.
Now, in december, positive uh, prior to winning the aiba presidency, kremlev told uh around the rings, which is a great website.
If you're looking for information on boxing to general boxing news, the biggest challenge for aiba is to compete all tasks to bring the aia iaba back to the olympic family in time for paris 2024.
So to your point, graham, and the reason why this is is major tournaments are still happening so why you know big one to happen, actually, no, nobody, joking! This is popped in and i had no we're joking about uh orlando.
Just now, shreveport shreveport just had the u.
s nationals, they just just finished hosting a large large-scale boxing event and would probably be in a position to do that again.
Moving parts us visas are not exactly uh easy to come by, depending on where it is you're.
Coming from, but it just popped by shreveport would be a perfect place to move that too, but large-scale events are still happening around the world.
Boxing is still happening around the world, but you know dealing with a bit of disappointment today on an olympic level for some of our local athletes.
Graham, yes, we are indeed that's too bad um.
I see my core is chiming in on this one as well.
Um knuckle up um all right.
Well, i guess that's it.
We'Ve covered everything newsworthy with respect to the olympics, from canada to shreveport, to eddie hearn, all all matters wembley, another location, okay! Well, you know, and carl over at last bell boxing is suggesting wembley for another location.
It'S already been moved once from the copper box uh the european championship, and you guys couldn't reschedule the european championships or for london at the copper box and now have to be held in paris.
So i don't see the america's qualifier happening in europe to begin with, but especially not in a city that couldn't even get the other qualifier off the ground.
So forgive my skepticism on wembley for that one shreveport that'd be my thought just because they just came off the back of the u.
s nationals, all right all right.
Thanks very much christian appreciate it uh.
It'S been a great discussion and a lot of input from viewers around the world which we've taken into consideration and tried to interject into this conversation, one of our more lively ones of recent uh months uh.
Hopefully, this will continue, hopefully we'll open up some eyes.
Hopefully we'll generate some letters and emails and corresponds to those governing bodies who do have options.
I believe um, especially when mandy boujoul would be, in fact an olympic medal contender, as are many of the fighters from around the world, including some from england uh.
But having said that, uh is that everything then today that's what we've got on for today and as the uh as anything unfolds with the mandy boujole story.
If we find out uh if there's any success to her legal challenge or if fox in canada does issue a statement addressing this fact uh what's going on here, i will definitely let you guys know all right thanks very much christian appreciate thanks very much good viewership For all those great comments, um remember like share subscribe, hit that notification bell and we'll see you tomorrow.

SonicPool Post Production has completed work on The Band's "Live at the Academy of Music 1971" DVD, part of a new 4CD+DVD collection to be released September 17 by Capitol/UMe.
Hollywood, CA (August 23, 2013)—SonicPool Post Production has completed work on The Band's Live at the Academy of Music 1971 DVD, part of a new 4CD+DVD collection to be released September 17 by Capitol/UMe.
The Live at the Academy of Music 1971 DVD is a collaboration between Capitol Records, SonicPool and Bernie Grundman Mastering. Marcus Ionis of SonicPool says working with Capitol Records and Bernie Grundman has been an excellent experience: "Those two forces behind the project made the experience a great joy." SonicPool Post Production provided DVD and Blu-ray authoring, menu design, coding and deliverables for the project.
Ionis says, "Hearing this updated mix will make the DVD experience come to life. Fans will truly appreciate hearing either mixes and will nearly relive the experience over again. It's a definite value for any fan of The Band."
The Band played four concerts at New York City's Academy Of Music during the final week of 1971, which included a surprise guest appearance by Bob Dylan for a New Year's Eve encore. Select highlights from the concerts were compiled for The Band's 1972 double LP, Rock Of Ages, which peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200. The multitrack recordings from all four of the concerts—originally recorded by Phil Ramone with Mark Harman—have been revisited for this new package, which includes 19 previously unreleased performances and newly discovered footage of two songs filmed by Howard Alk and Murray Lerner.
Live at the Academy of Music 1971 is produced by Robbie Robertson, with co-producers Michael Murphy and Matt D'Amico. Bob Clearmountain did the stereo mixes for the first two discs and the DVD's 5.1 mix. Sebastian Robertson and Jon Castelli, assisted by Ryan Nasci, performed the stereo mixes for discs 3 and 4. Patricia Sullivan at Bernie Grundman Mastering mastered the collection.

Accenture report: Boomers and Gen X lead charge to work from home
23 Jun, 2021 12:09 AM 3 minutes to read
Boomers and Gen X are happy to work from home but those under 24 years want more face-to-face time in the office a new report has found. Photo / Getty
Boomers and Gen X rather than the tech-savvy younger generations are leading the work from home movement an in-depth report has found.
As people around the world return to the workplace in some capacity, a report by Accenture has revealed those older than 40 are most comfortable working remotely.
Of the generation known as Gen Z – or Zoomers – 74 per cent prefer to have more time face-to-face in the office.
Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2015, are those under 24-year-olds in the workforce.
Ben Morgan, from Accenture NZ, said the findings were unexpected but made sense.

"Despite being digital natives, they know that a lot of knowledge is passed on in the workplace via in-person interactions and informal training."
Morgan said businesses needed to ensure the younger generations had direct contact with more experienced staff for training.
"Businesses should look to hybrid working as a way to enhance employee productivity and wellbeing, but they will also need to balance that with employee cohesion and upskilling from senior employees."
The research, The Future of Work: Productive Anywhere, found that 83 per cent of people said a hybrid work model was optimal.
Of the 9326 workers from 11 countries interviewed, 40 per cent felt they could be productive and healthy anywhere — either fully remote or onsite or a combination of the two — as the hybrid workplace emerges.
Further, 85 per cent of people who say they can be productive and healthy anywhere also say they plan to stay with their company for a long time.
Accenture research shows that hybrid working is better for employee health.
"Our research found that those people who work in a range of locations – such as from the office and from home – have fewer cases of burnout than employees who work solely from home or solely at the office," Morgan said.
"The question for business leaders is now less of where should employees work from, and more a question of how can we increase staff morale and productivity? For many workers, part of the answer is hybrid working."
Jodie Shelley from 2Degrees said the company had tweaked its hybrid model to work better. Photo / Supplied
Telecommunications company 2degrees has embraced the hybrid model but it has evolved to improve culture and communication within the company.
Teams at 2degrees were at first required to be in the office two days a week but that has recently increased to three – with one of those either a Monday or a Friday.
"The flexibility was great but we were keeping an eye on how this impacted culture and as we progressed we had some concerns that two days a week was not enough," Shelley said.
"We were worried about the long term impact on our culture – which is one of the real strengths of 2degrees," said chief of people Jodie Shelley.
Shelley said the move gave a "real boost in the energy of our people and the collaboration of our teams".
Despite the report finding that Boomer and Gen X cohorts were most likely to want to work from home there had not been any noticeable split between the generations at 2degrees.
"Anecdotally some parents find it easier to be in the office full time when the kids are on school holidays, and home is a bit noisier than usual," she said.
"Ultimately, we have a bold vision to be a 'first choice' employer and we'll keep monitoring and improving how we work on a bunch of flexibility initiatives.

LOS ANGELES (CN) – Heracles lies at the center of federal forfeiture proceedings in Southern California, after an 18-foot, one-ton ancient mosaic depicting the mythological hero smuggled from war-torn Syria was recovered from a home by federal agents.
The mosaic likely dates to the third or fourth century and was found at the Palmdale home of Mohamad Yassin Alcharihi. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Alcharihi has been the center of an FBI investigation since 2015.
Agents have been looking into Alcharihi's suspected involvement with "smuggling looted items believed to be from a foreign conflict area into the United States," according to a forfeiture complaint filed this week in the Central District of California.
Prosecutors say Alcharihi hired a California customs broker in August 2015 to process paperwork to import items into the United States. Soon after, three mosaics and 81 vases arrived at the Port of Long Beach near Los Angeles.
According to documents submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Alcharihi said the items were valued at approximately $2,200. He later told federal agents he paid $12,000 for the mosaics and vases, prosecutors say, adding the value of the ancient mosaic is likely much higher.
Agents said they interviewed two witnesses who did some restoration work on the mosaic for Alcharihi at his home in March 2016. One of the witnesses says Alcharihi paid him $40,000.
"Alcharihi further told Witness 1 that the mosaic was peeled off a floor 25 years ago and that it had taken him (Alcharihi) 10 years to get the mosaic out of Turkey because the laws had changed there. Alcharihi told Witness 1 the mosaic had been rolled up for 25 years," prosecutors say in the complaint.
However, an expert on ancient mosaic floors told federal agents the mosaic was an authentic piece from the Byzantine Period depicting Greek mythology and the iconography was consistent with other art found near the Syrian city of Idlib.
After agents served a search warrant at Alcharihi's home, Alcharihi said the mosaic came from Turkey. His email trail, however, indicated the piece came from Idlib, prosecutors say.
In another email Alcharihi says the mosaic depicts Heracles, Aphrodite and Zeus, according to the complaint.
Prosecutors say Alcharihi is a Syrian national and became a U.S. citizen in 2010.

DAMASCUS, Syria Activists say Syrian troops have bombed a northern town near the Turkish border, killing at least 21 people.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the victims of Monday's bombardment of the town of Salqin included five children. The town is four miles from the border with Turkey.
The Observatory says the death toll is expected to rise because many people were critically wounded. The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, put the death toll at 30.
Footage posted online by activists shows several mutilated bodies in a pickup truck as a man shouts that his son was killed. The video's authenticity could not be independently verified.
Salqin is in the northwestern province of Idlib that has seen intense clashes between troops and rebels in recent months.
Meanwhile, the Damascus representative of the new U.N. envoy to Syria said Monday that the large number of deeply divided rebel groups is one of the main obstacles to a U.N. mission's efforts to broker an end to Syria's 18-month crisis.
Mokhtar Lamani, who represents special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi in the Syrian capital, told The Associated Press in an interview that a solution to the country's crisis remains very difficult because of the "high level of mistrust between all parties." Most opposition groups say they will accept nothing less than President Bashar Assad's departure from power, while the regime says its opponents are working as part of a foreign conspiracy.
Brahimi, a veteran Algerian diplomat who previously served as a U.N. envoy to Afghanistan and Iraq, waded into Syria's complicated diplomatic landscape last month when he replaced Kofi Annan, the former U.N. chief whose peace plan for Syria failed to end the violence that activists say has so far killed more than 30,000 people.
Lamani said Brahimi, who visited Damascus last month, will pay a second visit to Syria soon and will tour the country. Asked whether he still sees hope of a political solution in Syria despite all the bloodshed, Lamani said: "I think maybe the time will be too long, but I hope (so) ... and this is what I am here for because I hope that in the end there would be some light."


Christmas came early for reggae fans in Birmingham as two of the heavy weights from the areas rich music heritage took to the stage for the second night of two very special gigs. Gracing the main stage of the O2 Academy, these two Brummie legends shared the bill together for the very first time on their own turf, making it a very special evening for a packed hall.
Whilst both bands are of the same musical persuasion, they are in reality miles apart. Steel Pulse may have won a Grammy, but with 100 million records sold and 40 UK top 20 hit singles, UB40 are without doubt one of the most successful British bands of all time. But that was then and this is now.
Steel Pulse, one of the late Bob Marley's favourite bands kicked off a high intensity set, setting the bar really high, and bringing a sea of colour to the stage for the first half of the proceedings. Pure unadulterated fun was had as they treated their fans to Not King James Version, Stepping Out and Taxi Driver. It was impossible to keep still as the highlight of their efforts, Handsworth Revolution, had this crowd shuffling their feet and singing along.
UB40 were up next, with a mixture of original members, new faces and some significantly younger faces which have been drafted in to replace former members. A messy sibling war means that there was no Ali, Astro, or Mickey, who tour under the name of Ali Campbell's UB40, but this version was just as credible.
Higher Ground and Cherry Oh Baby set the tone early on and had this crowd singing along. Who doesn't know all the words to the UB40 songs? It was sing a long time for Sweet Sensations before Norman Hassan (an original member) and show stealing saxophone player Brian Travers joined this crowd on the vocals.
The place went wild for UB40's first ever hit, Food For Thought and didn't keep still for One In Ten. Here I Am Baby and Red Red Wine followed before the group left the stage for their inevitable encore.
Don't Break My Heart was the first track along with a cover of Willie Nelson's Crying In The Rain which was given the ubiquitous UB40 treatment. It would not have been a UB40 concert without Kingston Town, before they finished with I Can't Help Falling In Love With You, bringing an hour and a half set to an end.
There was no doubt that the whole evening had been fun; allowed the crowd to have a mass sing a long and to thoroughly enjoy the nostalgia of what is UB40, but you cannot help but think that there was something missing, and we all know what that was.
Whilst a UB40 reunion does not seem likely in the immediate future, what this concert did provide was a festive feast of reggae and in the week leading up to Christmas it all went down a treat.

Folk Art is the art of the everyday. It's rooted in traditions that come from community, culture and expresses cultural identity by conveying shared community values and aesthetics. It encompases a range of utilitarian and decorative media including cloth, wood, paper, clay, metal and more. These artistic works, as paintings, sculpture, basketry and utensils are typically produced in cultural isolation by untrained anonymous artisans of varying degrees of skill. Marked by such attributes as highly decorative design, bright bold colors, flattened perspective, strong forms and simple arrangements.
The term 'Ethnic Art' is a catch all designation which describes the cultural creations of non-Western societies. It relates to objects from national and cultural origins, i.e. denoting origin by birth or descent rather than by present nationality. They are characteristic of or belonging to a non-Western cultural tradition and are neither Christian nor Jewish; pagan or heathen.
Our collection of folk and ethnic art comprises all these attributes as mentioned and can be observed and viewed in this category.

You have to be careful when writing HTML i18n tags content since ng-xi18n works generating a hash id from HTML tag content without trimming. Therefore these two tags will have different hash ids and will be different entries.
In my opinion Angular team should fix this behavior by trimming tag content.
You can see above different entries for WELCOME label because of the lack of trimming.
In following example we want to create translation for "es" and "en"
npm run i18n:create "es, en"
When you change i18n labels (add, remove, rename) in html templates, you can generate i18n translations XLIFF file again (untranslated).
This is just a sample. Of course you can implement you own logic.
Can be translation changed at runtime?
