Thursday Ken went into work for four hours. His headache intensified as he tried to concentrate on the paperwork and other things that had been neglected. He almost gave up trying to explain what he was doing while he was doing it, but he knew his successors needed to know. Ken didn't bother eating when he came home. He just took a pain pill and crawled back into bed. He awoke with the smell of bacon.
Ken came out to the kitchen. "Good morning," he teased. "I thought the sun was setting, not rising."
"It's morning to me. Are you hungry?"
"Famished. It looks good. You're spoiling me, Evan."
"Yeah, right. Just trying to make sure you recover so I'm not in for murder next time." Evan turned from the stove and studied him. "How ya doing?"
"I'm recovering. And Evan," Ken said softly. "There will be no next time. You'll make it." Evan turned to flip the bacon on the stove. Ken went to him, thinking he'd said the wrong thing. "I'm sorry."
"I hope you're right," Evan said, concentrating on the food. "I don't fit anywhere. I can't be how I was, and I don't know what I am." Evan set down the spatula and turned to Ken. "Have you had a chance to talk to your friends about using the computer to find Dad?"
Ken shook his head. "No. I've been a little under the weather."
Evan went back to his cooking, removing the last of the bacon from the pan.
"I'm sorry, Evan. I was joking."
"I know." But he didn't face him again, draining the drippings.
"Actually, I do have an idea. I plan on making some calls tomorrow afternoon."
Evan poured the shelled eggs from the bowl into the pan. Then he faced Ken. "You're serious. You got a lead?"
"Hey. Don't get your hopes up. It might not pan out. But no matter what we find out about Dad . . . ." Ken hesitated. It sounded like Evan was trying to define himself, but if Ken's suspicions were right their father was the last person he should model himself after. "Evan, you are your own person. Who Dad is or what he's done or what he says can't change that unless you let it."
"You think he doesn't want us or care about us."
"Even if he does, Evan, think about what we know. He wasn't much of a family man. Mom and him were always fighting. He was cheating on her – hurting her and us by that – you can't say that didn't bother you. And when he'd drink . . . I think that's what Mom tries to say, but she can't. She doesn't want us to be like that. She wants better for us."
"What if I can't be any better?" Evan looked at his eggs. "Oh, great. The centers are all hard."
"I don't mind." Ken helped set the table, and they sat. After the blessing Ken said a silent prayer to ask for help. "Evan, you can decide how you want to be. Sure you inherited certain things, but you can work to improve the good stuff you were born with, and overcome the other. I've had to do it."
"Oh, right. What have you ever done wrong or been tempted by?"
"Examples. You're just saying that."
"Okay, I got a couple that just happened recently. I get jealous easy, too. I got in a fight with Julie because you flirted with her, and I couldn't handle it. And remember, I was so mad, I grabbed you first. I've got to work on my temper. I used to think I didn't have one, but I was wrong. I was fooling myself. So I have to work on it. I have to learn self-discipline as much as you. Maybe it just doesn't show to you because I've been working longer at hiding it."
Evan shook his head. "It's not the same. You don't understand."
"Good excuses. Just face it. You have the choice. What do you want in ten years? Twenty? Do you want to be like you are now? Back in prison? Or do you want to have a home, maybe even a family? And if you have a family, do you want it to be a loving one?"
"Like I would have a choice."
"Of course you do. You're the man. Choose the right wife, and set the right tone – one of love, not fighting."
"Yeah, you don't know everything. Mom wasn't exactly a mouse. She contributed her fair share of yelling."
Ken realized he was getting nowhere and just antagonizing Evan. He made an effort to lower his voice. "I'm sorry. I just know that I see families at church that care about each other, and that's what I want. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have that."
"What if things don't work out like your little plans? What if you're fighting all the time after the marriage?"
"Then I'm going to ask for help from the people that do have the good marriages. And I'm not going to be too proud to follow their advice." Ken laughed a little at himself then. "I pray I'm not too proud. Pride's another one that sneaks up on you when you think you're doing good. Maybe it's pride on my part now to think I can do something just because I see other people doing it. But it's better than doing nothing and whining about having nothing when it's my own fault for drinking up the rent money. Sorry, Evan. Maybe you didn't hear that one, but even before he left I knew I didn't want to be like him."
"It's not fair," Evan said standing. "None of it's fair. He probably left because you didn't love him. You're not even giving him a chance. You're trying to turn me against him." Evan left, and the front door slammed. He hadn't eaten a bite his food.
Ken didn't feel like eating, but he decided to finish what Evan had taken the time to prepare. Then he set aside Evan's portion and cleaned up the kitchen.
Julie called as he rinsed the last of the dishes. He sat in the living room to talk and watch his fish. She told him about her encounter at the police station, and Ken was glad that Lt. Redding had been so kind to her. "I wish I'd been able to see you, but that must have been while I was at work. I suppose you're long gone now."
"Yeah. I'm in Muskegon. I just got here, but the drive wore me out. I probably won't go out again tonight. I miss you. How'd it go today?"
"Evan's mad at me again. I guess I said the wrong thing. I want to help him, yet I'm not sure what the right words are. Whatever I say he takes a little different than I expect."
"That sounds frustrating."
"It is. I thought we were getting along now, but this time I'm not sure it isn't my fault. I was praying to find my father, but now that I think I know where he is, I don't know if I should."
"Because you're afraid he won't want to see you?"
"No. If I'm right, he may want to see us. Julie, my dad wasn't anyone to be proud of. I want better for Evan. He's searching for his niche right now. I don't want him to settle for the easy way and be miserable his whole life."
"I think I know what you mean."
"I think Thomas might be right about my father. I don't know how he knows when I don't…."
"Oh, Ken, don't let Thomas hurt you, too. He's just a liar."
Ken regretted mentioning Thomas's name. She had been so relaxed until then, but he had to know how she'd react if it were true. "I know, Sweetheart. But just like you had to find out about me, I have to find out if that's true about my dad." He paused, but she didn't fill the silence. "Julie, will you still love me and want to be with me if it is true?"
"Oh, Ken, you don't think I'd hate you now, do you? Not after all this. Like Jim said, your brother answers for his own sins. That means your father also. You don't hate me because my mom has sent the police to you, do you? I can't stop her from following Thomas even though I wish and pray so hard that I could."
"No, Julie, that's not your fault," Ken said softly. "I love you."
"I love you, too, Romeo. We won't let this hurt us. Oh, Ken, sometimes I think that even if Paul Israel says you're the rottenest guy in Michigan, I'll still want to marry you."
"You've said it. You actually want to get married."
"Didn't you?" Her voice held an uncertain note, as if she were afraid he wouldn't want her after she'd declared herself. He knew exactly how she felt.
"Yes," he reassured her. "I want to marry you. This isn't exactly how I planned my proposal though."
Julie laughed. "I'll let you do it over when we're together some time. Oh, I wish I could tell someone. I think I'll try Nicole again. She has to be home some time."
"I love you. Let's not wait too long."
"No. Not too long."
They spoke until Evan came in, changed to his uniform, and was ready for Ken to take him to work. He couldn't help his enthusiasm when he set down the phone and stood. "Guess what? She says she'll marry me. I'm gonna have a wife."
"Great. Are you ready, or do you want me to drive myself in tonight?"
Evan had effectively doused his ardor. Ken took his keys from his pocket and went outside. Evan followed. Ken drove in silence, and his mind went over their conversation. "Evan, about earlier. I'm sorry if I said the wrong thing. It's not that I didn't love Dad. I said it because I love you. I want better for you than what we saw growing up." Ken knew Evan was staring at him now, but he didn't take his eyes from the road. It was a little embarrassing to speak of love. They never had. None of his family had. It was different than speaking about it to Julie. With her he was so sure of his feelings that he couldn't help but speak, and after the first attempt at telling her, he knew she'd accept it. He also suspected she needed to hear it.
Evan needed to hear it, too, he reminded himself. It was different, but it was still love, wasn't it? Evan wouldn't still be in his house if it weren't for this love. Sometimes Ken had wondered if it was love or duty that kept him tied to Evan, but he was beginning to see that fulfilling duty no matter how difficult was part of love – not all of it – but part of it. He'd have to go back and reread that section in the Bible on love that Lt. Redding had so nonchalantly partially quoted to Julie. Perhaps he needed to apply more of it to Evan. Maybe that would show him since he didn't seem to believe Ken's words or the motive behind them.
Ken pulled up beside the entrance to the restaurant.
"I get off at five," Evan said, and then left abruptly.
Ken drove by Jim's, but it was late, and Ken decided not to disturb him. His headache reminded him it was time to go home for some medicine anyway.
The next morning Ken went into work after he'd brought Evan home. He stayed four hours, and then came home to sleep. The phone woke him from a short nap. The bank informed him that the closing would be next Thursday at one. Ken called the pet store, and Linda assured him that she had room for more gouramis, bettas, and mbunas. After that call, Ken knew he better make the phone calls he'd been resisting. Evan wanted to know the answer.
The calls confirmed his suspicion. There was a William Kenneth Wright in a Jackson prison, but they'd give no details. Ken called for visiting hours and directions. When Evan emerged from his room, Ken pushed the paper he'd written his notes on across the table. "I don't know if he's the right one, but we can go tomorrow afternoon if you want to check it out."
"He's in prison? What'd he do?"
"They won't give that out on the phone. I couldn't even confirm his birth date to make sure it's him."
"But . . . Did he go in after or before Mom divorced him? That's been a long time. I mean, I just got five years, three with parole, and I know guys that got way less for theft."
"I don't know, Evan. Maybe it's not his first offense. I thought of calling Mom, but if we just go down, we don't even have to bother her. You know how sensitive she is."
"But she left him when he was down."
"We don't know that. Besides she didn't make him do whatever he did."
"But . . . ."
Ken stood from the table and went to the refrigerator. "I don't care what excuses he has, Evan. He's responsible for his actions. Mom is responsible for hers. You're responsible for yours, and I am for mine."
"But sometimes things happen because other people do stuff, and we don't have any control."
Ken put his hands on the table. "Really, Evan? Is that really what happened to you? You had no decision? Your friends held a gun to your head and made you go with them? Or did you decide you'd rather have their approval than do what you knew was right." Ken stood and looked around the kitchen. He didn't feel like cooking. His head was pounding, but he didn't know if Evan had gotten the point. But did he need to? Or was he just lecturing like a jerk again? Ken looked back at him. "I'm sorry, Evan. I've got to go back to bed. I hope they're right about these headaches, and they go away soon."
He slept until the phone rang beside his bed. He reached for it. "Hello?"
"Hi, Ken. It's me," Julie said, somewhat cheerfully.
"Hello?" asked Evan on the extension.
"It's for me, Evan." The extension clicked shut. "So how've you been? Before I forget the closing is Thursday at one."
"Great. I can't wait until it's over. I've been shopping again. This time I bought clothes. A nice blue business suit for job hunting."
"Job hunting? You think it's come to that?"
Julie paused and when she spoke her voice cracked. "I've decided that when I go back I've just got to tell mom. It's me or Thomas. I won't work in the same firm." There was another pause. "I just know she'll choose Thomas." Julie sobbed then.
Ken wished he could reach through the phone and hold her. "I love you, Julie," was all he could think to say to comfort her. "I love you," he repeated. "I wish I could hold you. I wish…." Ken waited until her breathing evened out. "Will I see you soon?"
"Next Thursday."
"At the closing?"
"I'll talk to Mom afterward, or maybe I should get it over with and talk to her Monday and give her until Thursday. Or maybe…."
"Tell her over the phone, Julie. If it gets bad you can hang up. Call her back the next day. Stay firm. You're right. You can't work with Thomas."
"I'm scared. What if I can't get another job? What if they say bad things to anyone I talk to? What if…."
"Julie, we'll make it. I don't have much, but we can make it. I'm sure you'll find work, but if not, we won't starve. I promise."
"I just feel like such a dirt bag going to her competition."
"Then don't. Go to a corporation or form your own company. What do you need for that? Just an office in your home and a computer setup? Do you have that?"
"Yeah, but…."
"We can even put your office in the pet store so we'll be together."
Julie laughed then. "Oh, Ken. That sounds so crazy. Get your books done at Wet n' Woolly. I just might try that. Do you really think I could?"
"I know you could. In fact I think I know the perfect spot. There's a corner in that breeding room near an outside side door. Remember it? We'll put your sign over that side door."
Julie laughed again. "You're crazy, Ken. I love you so much."
"I love you, too."
Ken took Evan to work at ten-thirty. "How's your head?" Evan asked.
"Better," Ken was surprised Evan cared. "I think stress makes it worse. Frankly I'm a little nervous about seeing Dad again."
"Really? I thought you didn't care."
"I care. I wish I didn't . . . care what he thought, that is."
"You don't have anything to worry about. He'll be proud of you. I'm the one who screwed up. 'Course he can't be too hard on me if he did it himself, can he?"
"Hey, Evan," Ken paused. He'd vowed not to lecture anymore. Evan already knew what he had to say. "No matter what he says, you still got me, right? I'm not gonna leave you. I promised you that when you were ten, and I still mean it."
Evan turned away from him and stared out the side window. He didn't speak, and Ken stopped in the parking lot near the door. Evan left him without looking his way. Ken watched as he entered the building and went to the rest rooms. Ken didn't think he'd messed up, but he wasn't sure. "Lord, only You can reach Evan's heart. Please help him. You know I can't. I've already failed."
Ken went straight home to sleep. He didn't have to work, so he slept in a little longer after he brought Evan home.
After breakfast, he left Evan to his sleep and went to run some errands. He took an assortment of fish to Linda. She hadn't heard about his accident. "It just goes to show you what bettas can do when they get mad. You better watch these guys."
Linda laughed. "I'll put them each in their own cell," she said, holding up the betta barracks. She attached it to the inside of one of the tanks. She set the fish in different tanks to float while she went to the account book in front. "I don't know why I'm doing this. You're going to own it all in less than a week."
"With Julie."
Linda glanced around. "She doesn't want anyone to know that, I thought. Have you talked to her recently?"
"Yes. Last night."
"Ken, what's going on. This guy keeps coming here, almost every day, asking if we've seen her."
"Dark hair?"
Linda nodded. "He seems nice, but Julie said no one. And he's said some weird things about…." Linda shrugged. "Never mind."
"No. He was telling you lies about me, wasn't he?"
"Ken, you said everyone keeps their jobs, right?"
"This guy says he's an accountant, and he knows there's no way for there to be a mortgage and for everyone to keep their job."
"Julie's an accountant, too. We've worked it out. I know there are going to be months I don't eat too well. We've considered all the possible problems."
"I hate to say this, but Sue's looking for another job. Please tell me the truth. Give me at least a month notice, more if you can."
"Linda, I can't say it any clearer. This Thomas has so lied about Julie and me that she's had to take a vacation just to get away from it." Ken had another thought. He almost kept it to himself, but Linda was being honest with him. He owed it to her. "What we have to worry about right now is any drop in sales that might be caused by lies that Thomas is spreading. He's after me, because he wants to marry Julie. When his lies didn't convince her to dump me, he began lying about her. You must be prepared to fight these lies so we don't lose any customers. You've known me for years, Linda. I know he's told you I'm a thief. Have I ever cheated you? I've been assistant manager for three years at SaveMart, worked there for five. I've got good references. Don't let him fool you. This gossip is tearing Julie apart. When she comes home, let's not have any of it here. Let's give her a friendly place to work."
"She'll be working here, too."
Ken smiled. "Julie plans to stay in accounting, but of course she'll hang out with her fish and her favorite guy when she's not working. She's planning to breed rainbows and cory catfish along with her angels. By the way, if you have time could someone clean out those tanks back there for me. Make sure they don't use any cleansers."
"I know how to clean an aquarium," she teased.
"Good. I've got to breed some more bettas soon, as in next weekend."
"Maybe I'll get to watch. Did you lose many in the accident?"
"Yeah. Too many. Some of my best breeders, but it was just males. And I've got enough to start over. Why don't you give me some of those blackworms to help condition them?"
Linda got the worms from the back. When she returned she looked beyond Ken nervously. Ken glanced behind him, and then turned when he saw Thomas Randall.
"I heard you were still buying this store. Guess you didn't need Julie after all? Who'd you con for the rest of the money?"
"I didn't con anyone, Thomas. I don't need to resort to lies and innuendos to reach my goals."
"Just stealing. Your father taught you that, didn't he?"
"My father didn't teach me much, Thomas. You know that. In fact, how do you seem to know so much? Not that what you say is all that accurate; I'm just wondering where you get your information."
"So what did the police say to you about the burglary at Hansen Accounting?"
"I was not told about a burglary," Ken stated, simply because it was not a burglary but an alarm being set off. Two different things. "What was stolen?"
"Two aquariums."
"That was it?"
"You obviously panicked."
"Someone broke into the accounting firm, stole two aquariums, and didn't touch the computer equipment?"
Linda laughed out loud. "You mean Ken panicked and grabbed a couple twenty gallon tanks filled with water and fish. What's that? Four hundred pounds a piece or something like that? You're the bionic man, Ken. Why didn't you tell me?"
"No," Thomas said in irritation. "They were little plastic tanks with those fighting fish."
"Aw, Ken. You went and stole Julie's bettas. Don't you have enough of your own? Five hundred and seventy eight weren't enough?" Linda laughed. "Or were you afraid she'd start breeding them, and you'd lose those pennies we give you for them."
"What can I say?" Ken teased back. "I couldn't stand the competition."
"You will not marry Julie Hansen, you thieving con artist," Thomas said firmly. Then he turned and walked quickly from the shop.
Linda laughed. "You're right, Ken. That guy is nuts."
"Yeah, but he's nuts enough to try to put us out of business. Reassure anyone who's concerned." Ken shook his head, staring out the front window. "We'll stick him out. He has to get bored and move on some time, especially when he knows he'll never control Julie."
"So when's the wedding?" Linda asked.
Ken grinned. "I still have to get her a ring. I should do that now. See you later." Ken grabbed his bag of blackworms and left the store.
He went to one of the many jewelers on Linden Road, as he had been planning to do. As he looked at the diamonds, he knew he couldn't buy her what he wanted. He settled for what he could afford, vowing to get her a nicer one as soon as he was able. He prayed she wasn't disappointed with it.
Ken went home. He separated the females he wanted to breed and picked out the males for them. He fed them their first serving of worms as Evan emerged from his room.
"Worms. Yummy," Evan said, watching Ken feed his last breeder. He covered the rest of the worms and placed them in the refrigerator. "Are we still going to Jackson?"
"Whenever you're ready."

The taxi dropped us off at our cruise ship, The Celebrity Century and our luggage was whisked away immediately. Wow, there are thousands of people on this ship! It's huge! It didn't take us too long to get registered and on board, and then we hear, Michael Severson please report to guest services, so we know they made it. We head straight to the buffet for lunch, an amazing array of more food than we could possibly eat. Feeling a little guilty, what did I do to deserve all this? I am so blessed, beyond words. Dinner was in the dinning room off a menu with the choices changing daily. And what service! Tom found a waiter that spoke Thai so she was happy. The help is from around the world. The entertainment was an opera treo from Australia singing the classic opera songs we recognized, with a jazz song or two thrown in. They were excellent, what a treat to start us off.
Randy and I have made it a point to take the stairs to try to work all these extra calories off. The room is on the 9th floor, dining room on the 6th, pool and buffet on the 11th, so it seems we are always going up and down which is good since the ice cream bar (Randy's temptation) and never ending supply of chocolate chip cookies (my temptation) is right on the way to the pool. The pool is sea water, very salty, but much better than chlorine. Last night before going to bed we sat and listened to a string treo, three young girls, they were excellent. The music around the ship has been very good in all the different styles.

We've recently been working on a section of path next to Millbeck Farm in Great Langdale. The path had some old pitching around the gate but this was in need of replacing and much of the rest of the path had been disturbed during excavations for the new hydro project.
The repairs were relatively straightforward except for a small section underneath a veteran Yew tree. To cause as little disturbance as possible to the tree we moved some large boulders into position to form the edge of the path. This meant we could raise the path over the roots and not have to dig through them. Luckily there was still a digger on site after the hydro work so we had the rocks in place much more quickly than if we'd had to move them by hand.
In time as the Yew grows it's likely that we may have to reset some of the stones, so we'll keep a close watch on things.
After a couple of weeks we'd replaced the path from beneath the Yew tree and up through the new gate.
We brought in some extra topsoil that was being used for landscaping around the intake of the hydro-electric scheme and put some grass seed down, to give the path a good chance to recover.
After just a few weeks time the new section of path was looking much improved.

HomeCinemaHollywood GossipSelena Gomez's Mysterious Foot Tattoo Finally Gets The Instagram Post It Deserves
Selena Gomez's Mysterious Foot Tattoo Finally Gets The Instagram Post It Deserves
March 1, 2019 Samantha Sasso Hollywood Gossip 0
Selena Gomez might've gone on a social media hiatus last year, but the former queen of Instagram is officially back to giving fans what they want (read: regular content). Unfortunately, Gomez isn't here to tease the third season of 13 Reasons Why, but she did just announce a musical collaboration with Benny Blanco, Tainy, and J Balvin called "I Can't Get Enough. "
While some people might see Gomez's latest photo and notice what seems to be the world's largest pillow (by the way, where can we buy that?), we see something else: her foot tattoo.
Gomez's extended right leg is almost begging us to squint and wonder what the ink reads. Turns out, it's just one of her large collection of at least 10 tats. Zoom in and you'll see the small lettering just along the right side of her right foot reads "sunshine." Although Gomez has never publicly revealed the meaning behind the tattoo, most fans are sure it's a tribute to her grandmother, whom she's called her sunshine in the past on social media.
I Can't Get Enough is out now! Link in bio @itsbennyblanco @tainy @jbalvin
A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on Feb 28, 2019 at 9:18am PST
While she hasn't spilled the meaning, most of her tattoo collection is comprised of sentimental designs. For example, in 2o17, Gomez got matching tattoos with some of the 13 Reasons Why cast in honor of the show, which discusses a variety of important issues, including sexual assault, bullying, mental illness, and suicide. Gomez, along with Alisha Boe, Tommy Dorfman, and Brandon Flynn, got the same semicolon tattoo on their wrists, a symbol of hope for people are who have been affected by depression, mental illness, and self harm.

Even more recently, Gomez added two dainty designs to her collection with a birthday tattoo appointment. Not only did she get the number four etched onto the ditch of her arm to match three close friends, she added a second tattoo to match her newly-wedded BFF Courtney Barry. Together, they got the number one on their ribcages. Moral of the story? While "sunshine" isn't new, or even the latest, we have a feeling it won't be the last.

Johnson rewards Capitals
By - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 16, 2005
When the Washington Capitals opened training camp, the one position that seemed secure was goaltender. Olie Kolzig, the 2000 Vezina Trophy winner, would anchor the spot, with highly touted prospect Maxime Ouellet serving as backup.
Kolzig upheld his end, but Ouellet, for reasons that haven't been determined, fell apart. There was no quick fix other than finding a replacement.
That replacement turned out to be a player who was going through a similar career crisis. Brent Johnson, a star with St. Louis in the early part of the decade, was put on waivers by Vancouver at the end of camp this fall, and the Caps quickly claimed him.
But Johnson's first win with his new team didn't come until Tuesday night when he backstopped a 4-3 shootout victory over Tampa Bay, turning aside 35 shots, including all three in the shootout.
Johnson is not one to get excited easily. He speaks in a tone that doesn't change much, win or lose. He has seen all this before; his father, Bob, was a goalie with two NHL teams, and one of his grandfathers, Sid Abel, is in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a player, coach and general manager.
It is a tough situation to come into, joining a team after the roster has been selected, then trying to gain the confidence of both the organization and your teammates while trying to regain your own. Johnson had thought about playing in Europe but felt he was good enough to stay in the NHL.
"The way the guys treat you helps a lot," Johnson said. "Olie has helped immensely. [Goalie coach] Dave Prior and I talked for 45 minutes on expectations. I knew Olie was going to play a lot, so my role was to play the best I can when I get the chance."
The chances have been few, and some did not turn out well. On Nov. 3, for instance, he was shelled 8-1 by Philadelphia, but he was not as bad as that sounds.
"He's been through a lot the last couple years, and I know that game in Philly really ate at him," said Kolzig, who has been cleared to play after an injury. "He's played really well since then. I've been in his position. I know how hard it is to come in and play once every two or three weeks. But he was really focused [Tuesday] night, made the big saves and gave us a chance. That's all you can ask."
Overall, Johnson is 1-3 with a 4.73 goals-against average in six games (four starts). He has a 2.90 GAA in his last two games.
"I'm so happy for him," said coach Glen Hanlon, a former NHL goalie. "I'm attached personally to that situation because I've almost done exactly what he's had to do. I was thinking back to how good it feels to sit at home, you've played a great game, you've contributed, you've got your first win with a new team, you start to feel comfortable. This is huge for us."
It also would be huge if Johnson regains the form that allowed him to win 69 games over a three-year period with the Blues. He is only 28, still young in goalie years, and conceivably could be the eventual successor to the 35-year-old Kolzig.
Notes — Center Dainius Zubrus (groin) will not make the trip to Buffalo and Montreal. Kolzig (hamstring) might play tonight against the Sabres. Defensemen Brendan Witt and Jamie Heward got yesterday off.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Story, gameplay, characters & more
After the FF7 Remake wowed fans back in 2020, players are eager to get their hands on Part 2 of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Here's everything we know about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
FF7 Rebirth will be the second part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. The 1997 original was broken up into three discs, so it's no surprise that Final Fantasy 7 Remake is being released as a multi-part epic as well.
Most fans have now thoroughly digested part one, so attention is turning to the follow-up. Here's everything we know so far about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, from the sections of the original it will adapt, to how the game will play.
Is there a Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release date?
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth story
The first Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a huge hit for Square Enix.
While there is no concrete release date for FF7 Rebirth at the time of writing. Square-Enix has confirmed that the game will be coming "Winter 2023."
While this is still some time away, the company also revealed that part 3 is also in active development and will be final chapter in the FF7 Remake saga.
PSP prequel, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, is also getting remade for modern platforms and will release in Winter 2022.
This means fans are likely to get a slice of FF7 action every Winter for the next couple of years. However, there's no guarantee that part 3 will release in 2024.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth platforms
Final Fantasy Rebirth will be released on PS5 and PC. Square Enix decided to skip the PlayStation 4, explaining the decision as being to do with the PS5's SSD speed.
There's been no word on Xbox consoles at the time of writing.
Part 2 will see Cloud continue his battle with Sephiroth.
While FF7 Remake is certainly forging its own path when it comes to telling the beloved story, we can make a few educated guesses as to where Part 2 will go. The first game focused entirely on the Midgar section from 1997, expanding a sequence that lasted a few hours into a fully-fledged RPG.
From this point, Final Fantasy 7 really opens up, and Cloud and co. travel around the world in their quest to stop Shinra and Sephiroth. The first port of call in Rebirth will likely be Kalm, as hinted at in the post-credits scene of FF7 Remake Intergrade.
Read More: FF7: The First Soldier mobile battle royale
The next section revolves around Sepiroth's plot to summon Meteor and destroy life on the planet, becoming an all-powerful god in the process. This sees the party travel around in pursuit of the Black Materia, culminating at the Forgotten City.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Trailer
You can check out the first trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth below:
The trailer seems to imply some story changes when compared to the original, so don't be surprised to see things play out differently than you remember.
One of the final scenes in FF7 Remake showed an alternate version of Zack Fair overcoming his previously fatal ambush from Shinra – which could radically change the story.
With Zack being front and center of the Crisis Core Remake, this game's story could also play out differently. Let's not forget that the Whispers in the FF7 Remake seem to suggest that the game's events are taking place in a parallel universe to the original. Or that the characters are trapped in some kind of time loop.
Read More: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion announced
The trailer also heavily implies that Cloud and Aerith both become aware of the latter's impending doom. Could the fan-favorite flower seller survive her fateful encounter in Final Fantasy Rebirth?
The trailer does open by telling us "The future even if it has been written, can be changed."
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gameplay
Part One shifted FF7's combat into real-time.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake took the series' signature turn-based combat and adapted it into a real-time action RPG like Final Fantasy 15, and we expect FF Rebirth to follow the same formula. However, from what we know about what follows Midgar, Part 2 will be a vastly different game.
Once Avalanche leaves the metropolis behind, the game becomes more of an open-world adventure, allowing players to freely travel from location to location. It's likely this is the direction the next part is heading in, incorporating other fan-favorite mechanics.
Read More: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is in development
Rideable Chocobos are almost definitely going to feature in some capacity and will be a method of quickly navigating the map. The Tiny Bronco could also show up, as a means of crossing over water.
Of course, this is all just speculation based on what we know from a 25-year-old game, there is every chance that Square Enix could rip up the rule book and surprise fans with some brand-new features.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth characters
Some favorites from the original Final Fantasy 7 are set to make their return.
The four playable members of Avalanche, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and Aerith, are all guaranteed to feature once again. Each will no doubt retain their signature abilities from the first game, and maybe even unlock some new talents.
There are also a handful of characters who we couldn't control in the first outing that we expect to join the party this time around, such as Red XIII. Expect him to be fully implemented with his own set of skills in the sequel.
Cait Sith, Vincent Valentine, and Cid Highwind should also show up during Part 2's runtime, as well as Yuffie Kisaragi who played a role in two chapters from Intergrade.
Read More: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth announced
FF7 Remake didn't allow players to pick and choose their party as they could in the original. Instead, they swapped out organically based on what was happening in the story.
With FF7 Rebirth likely to feature less linear sections, there could be an opportunity to swap out the lineup in certain areas.
There you have it! That was everything we know about Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 so far. For more upcoming releases, check out our coverage of some of the biggest games coming soon:
The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Overwatch 2 | Assassin's Creed Infinity | God of War: Ragnarok | Wolverine | Spider-Man 2 | Forspoken | Wonder Woman | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Sonic Frontiers | Dragon Age 4 | Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild sequel | The Witcher 3 next-gen patch | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Haunted Chocolatier

You have been arrested for DUI and you are feeling a bit lost about what you have to do. You would like to maintain your driving privileges but you do not know how to make this possible. You are recommended to seek for the right person that can fix your dispute with the law. If you are a first timer, you may not be required to hire criminal lawyers in Toronto that can help you with your DUI case especially if you are planning to plead guilty because you were driving under the influence when you were arrested. No one expects to be in this situation but now that you are experiencing this, you have to know how you can get out of it the best way possible.
It is normal to have some explanations why you are driving under the influence but it can be harder to prove if you only seemed to be driving under the influence when in fact, you are not. What if the arresting officer is someone you have had issues within the past? What if the device used to check your body's alcohol or drug content is ineffective? There are other possible reasons why you are being accused.
Even if it seems normal that celebrities are caught driving under the influence, you should remember that most people who are involved with DUI are normal, "ordinary" citizens who had a moment of poor judgment. Perhaps they thought that they would be able to get home without incident but they did not realize that they were going too fast for their own good. A lot of these citizens do not realize the errors that they have made until they are already arrested.
There are different Toronto criminal lawyers that are available but they have their own specialties. Search for one who specializes in DUI. Check out Jeffrey, DUI lawyer.
It is best to schedule a consultation with the attorneys that you are considering to hire. Do not worry about meeting up with different attorneys because the initial consultation is usually free.
Ask the lawyer specifically about the costs that you have to pay for. This way, you can prepare for the cost ahead of time.
Go with your instinct. If you feel that one lawyer will be able to help you out more than the others that you have talked with, then this is probably true.
The right lawyer will know the different aspects and details about the law and the court system which means that you will be represented well if in case you have to appear in court. At the same time, the lawyer will be able to lessen the gravity of your case or will have the ability to get your case dismissed entirely. For sure, this is not something that you can do on your own.

Devouts – 'Something'
Bolton-based four piece, Devouts, are an emerging band from the resurgence of the Manchester music scene. The band, ranging from ages 15-18, have supported bands such as 25th Hour at The Bread Shed in Manchester, and have just played Manchester Academy 3 supporting Culprits this February. They have also secured festival slots with hometown festivals: Made In Manchester at Bolton Arena. With these hometown billings, they have quickly made a name for themselves amongst the current Manchester music scene.
The band have just released their debut single 'Something' which is now available to listen to on Spotify. Adam the lead vocalist from the band say's the single is about "Something is about these two people who deny having something going on, but all their peers have their suspicions of this. The chorus is told from a first-person narrative, from one of the two in this situation, and they're starting to worry the denial is in fact the truth, as they truly do wish to be 'Something' with the other. The verses come from the point of view of the outsider looking in on this pair and having great suspicion, despite falsely being told otherwise by both of the pair."
If you are looking for a single from a band which has a heavy approach towards the indie genre and is packed full of energy and will get you to your feet, look no further. This single is amazing, from it's catchy guitar riff, Adam's amazing voice to some great guitar riffs it gets you from the first few seconds and you can't help but tap along to the song. They have managed to make a single which stands out from most songs that come under the same genre which is not an easy thing to do.
A great single from a young band who have managed to create a brilliant debut single, I'm looking forward to hearing more music from this talented young band.

My friend used hypnosis for stress release, how does that work?
Home > Healthy Living > Article > My friend used hypnosis for stress release, how does that work?
Meditation has been shown to have many health benefits, helping people relieve stress and restore inner peace.
But many people do not know the benefits of hypnosis as a tool to help people with stress reduction. Hypnosis like meditation, directs you into a slower brain wave state that is associated with calm and relaxation.
But unlike meditation, where the aim is to keep you in the present state, hypnotists work with your past or perceived future, as most of what people worry about is either about past events, or what they think might happen in the future.
The focus of many hypnosis sessions for stress are changing how the mind thinks, and improving how the body feels and reacts to past, present and perceived future stressors.

The Sensations had two separate careers : one on Atco in the fifties and one in the sixties, with a different line-up and style, on Argo and Junior. The group was founded in 1954, in Philadelphia, as the Cavaliers. They were one of the few R&B vocal groups with a female lead, Yvonne Mills.
The other members were the group's founder, Tommy Wicks (tenor), who also sang lead occasionally, Alphonso Howell (1937-1998, bass) and an unidentified fourth member. In July 1955 they were signed by the fledgling Atco label (a subsidiary of Atlantic), where they were renamed the Sensations.
Their first record was released in November 1955 : "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" (Atco 6056), an old Gene Austin standard from 1925. It was an immediate success, peaking at # 15 on the R&B charts in February 1956, and secured the group some worthwhile bookings.
This was followed by another evergreen that was given a major musical overhaul, "Ain't He Sweet" (Atco 6067). However, it was the other side, "Please Mr. Disc Jockey", that charted, reaching a peak position of # 13 in May 1956. Atco released four more singles between July 1956 and April 1958, but there were no further chart entries. After the three-year Atco contract expired, the group decided to disband as Yvonne became Mrs. Yvonne Baker and started raising a family.
In 1961, Alphonso Howell, feeling that vocal groups were once again in demand, convinced Yvonne to re-form the Sensations. Tenor Richard Curtain (ex-Hideaways, MGM) and baritone Sam Armstrong (who had been in the Rays for a brief period) were added, and the group persuaded their old manager, Philadelphia deejay Kae Williams (who had managed the Silhouettes in the meantime) to handle them again.
He arranged a record deal with Chess's Argo affiliate, which released another old standard, "Music, Music, Music" (a # 1 for Teresa Brewer in 1950), complete with walking bass and rocking sax solo. Not only did it go to # 7 on the R&B charts, it also gave the group their first pop hit, reaching # 54 in Billboard. "Put Another Nickel In" was changed to "Put Another Dime In". "Oh well you know, depreciation, man", as Ray Charles would say.
The second Argo single came out in November 1961 and was written by Yvonne Baker. It is the record for which the Sensations are best remembered, "Let Me In". Helped by the catchy "wee-oop-oop-we-ou" harmony, the disc went all the way to # 4 on the pop charts (# 2 R&B). As so often happens after a major hit, the Sensations couldn't record any follow-up hits to sustain their momentum.
"That's My Desire" (now credited to "Yvonne Baker and the Sensations") made it to # 69 in May 1962, after which there were two additional Argo releases, along with several on Kae Williams's own Junior label. But nothing could bring the group back in the spotlight. Yvonne Baker later attempted an unsuccessful solo career.

Yuppy Cakes Branding and Package design was targeted achieve a classic yet current product, with a dash of fun, while making the brand stand out in a crowded shelf.
Based of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the La Golondrina Studio and Bardo Industries, LLC were commissioned to develop a new brand identity for Yuppy and their delicious confectionery and bakery products like cupcakes, cookies and cakes. The idea was to ensure there is a retro/ classic feel with the colors but also using the modern "flat" and "vector" design elements in their packaging materials of cardboard and paper.
The result was a package and brand logo which uses classic fonts, and the faded green of a bygone era, before mixing in plenty of brown, caramel, white, orange, red and yellow to add the fun element in the baked items. The packaging material is eco-friendly too, and can be recycled. The flame orange ribbons add essential peppy character to the box.
Ace photographer Celeste Martearena ensures the package and food shots are of excellent quality, to tie up the commercial project nicely. The box contents are usually cupcakes and cookies, which necessitated the use of printed butter paper lining on the inside, to prevent greasiness from seeping through. Smaller boxes for tarts or individual confectionery items sport the "Y" as the prominent signature logo of the brand.

Opal Gemstone Information

About Opal - History and Introduction
Opal is a gem-quality form of hydrated amorphous silicon dioxide. Its name is derived from the Sanskrit word for 'stone'. It is gemologically classed as a mineraloid rather than a mineral, owing to its amorphous form. Opal is considered to be the national gemstone for Australia, owing to the fact that Australia produces roughly 97% of the world's entire supply of opal gemstones. Opals can be divided into three main subgroups: precious opal, fire opal and common opal (potch).
Opal is famed for its ability to diffract light. The exact cause of opal's unique properties was only recently discovered by Australian scientists in the 1960s after analysis with electron microscopes. It was discovered that small spheres of silica gel caused interference, refraction and diffraction of light, resulting in opal's distinctive play of color. The varying refractive indices of the spheres and spaces between them dissect the light on its passage through the stone. As light enters the opal, it bends around the tiny particles or 'spheres' of hydrated silica, as well as 'chips' of silicon and oxygen suspended within the stone. Light is comprised of all visible colors and can produce an entire spectrum of colors when it is diffracted.
Precious opal is known for its remarkable ability to diffract light, which results in rainbow-like colors that change with the angle of observation - known as 'play of color'. Fire opal can sometimes exhibit slight color play, but it is better known for its vivid body color. Common opal is usually opaque, rarely translucent, and lacks play of color. It is often found mixed with other gemstones, such as agate opal or moss opal. Common opal is known to exhibit 'opalescence'. The term 'opalescence' is often mistaken for 'play of color'. Opalescence should technically only be used to describe the optical effects seen in common opal. Opalescence is caused by the reflection of light and appears as a sheen of light, typically milky-bluish in color. It is a form of adularescence, whereas 'play of color' is iridescence caused by light diffraction.

Opal by definition is hydrated silicon dioxide, always containing from three to thirty percent water. This characteristic and its relative softness with a rating of 5.5 to 6.5 makes opal quite easy to identify and distinguish from other gemstones. Unlike other gems with play of color or iridescent effects, opal also exhibits 'opalescence'. Other iridescent stones do not display this pearl-like bluish color effect that appears to glide across opal, but instead, will usually show color that will abruptly appear, disappear and then reappear, depending on the viewing angle. In most cases, close observance of color and optical phenomena can usually help distinguish opal from other similar gemstones.
Opal; Origin and Sources
The most important deposits are located in Australia. Around 95 percent of the world's supply of white precious opals are mined "down under". Famous deposits in New South Wales are at Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs, in South Australia at Coober Pedy and Andamooka. Various deposits are also found in Queensland.
Other deposits are found in Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia and the United States (Idaho and Nevada).
Buying Opal and Determining Opal Value
Opal Color
Opal can occur in many colors including white, colorless, pale yellow, pale red, gray, brown and black. Diffraction can cause flashes of any color of the rainbow which can be seen in opal's color play. Yellow, blue and green are most common, whereas violet, red and orange are the rarest colors seen through play of color. Opalescence is usually milky blue in color, but it can occur in rarer colors. The saturation of body color, the play of color and the transparency determine an opal's value.
Opal Clarity and Luster
Opal gemstones can occur transparent to opaque. Transparent to translucent materials are typically more valuable than opaque materials. Almost all opal will have some visible internal fractures or inclusions such as patches, potch (common opal) or matrix rock inclusions. Opal tends to exhibit a waxy to resinous luster which helps accentuate play of color and opalescence. Finer stones often have a vitreous luster.
Opal Cut and Shape
Opals are usually cut into shapes which maximize and preserve the weight of the rough opal. They are often cut en cabochon and depending on the opal color bar, it may be cut with low or high domes in order to maximize play of color and adularescence. Opal can also be faceted, most often seen with 'fire opal'. Opals can be found in many shapes, including traditional ovals, rounds and cushions, as well as fancy hearts, marquises and trillions. Opal is often carved into ornaments.
Opal Treatment
Opal is typically untreated, but it may be impregnated with oil, wax, or plastic to enhance color and stability. It may also be layered (as in opal doublets or triplets) for durability. 'Smoking' treatments are now more common than before. 'Smoking' of opal is done to darken body color which enhances play of color, most often seen with Ethiopian opal. There are forms of synthesized opal available. Technically they are 'imitation opal' as they often include substances like plastic, which are not found in natural opal.

Opal is hydrated silicon dioxide, which means it has an extremely high water content and an amorphous crystal structure. There are many different varieties of opal with some being extremely rare and valuable. In addition, there are also several unofficial 'marketing' names used for opals based on specific localities, inclusions and other properties. Some of the official and most well-known opal varieties, include rare black opal, chocolate opal, fire opal, boulder opal, opal doublet, opal in matrix, common opal and precious opal.
The following lists some of the most well-known opal trade names, with a short description:
Agate opal - agate with light and dark opal layers.
Angel skin opal - misleading name for palygorskite, an opaque, whitish to pink-colored silicate mineral.
Black crystal opal - transparent to semi-transparent opal, with a dark body color and play of color.
Black opal - precious opal with near-black to black body color. The rarest and most valuable of all opal.
Boulder opal - a thin seam of precious opal on ironstone matrix. Since this is a natural occurrence, its value is higher than that of a man made doublet. The ironstone is very dark, which makes the fire stand out and gives a close resemblance to black opal.
Chocolate opal - precious opal with a brown body color. Also one of the rarest and most valuable opals available.
Common opal, also called potch, is opaque, rarely translucent and shows no play of color. A wide variety of trade names are used to identify common opals.
Crystal opal - transparent to semi-transparent, colorless body with play of color.
Fire opal - translucent to transparent, with a yellow, orange or red body color. May or may not have play of color. Also called Mexican opal or sun opal.
Girasol - almost colorless, transparent opal with bluish opalescence.
Harlequin opal - transparent to translucent precious opal with mosaic-like color patterns. Counted among the most desirable opals.
Honey opal - honey-yellow translucent opal.
Hyalite - glass opal or water stone, colorless, water-clear opal with strong sheen.
Hydrophane - a milk opal, which turns turbid due to loss of water. It can become translucent again and have color play through absorption of water.
Jelly opal - bluish-gray precious opal with little play of color.
Moss opal - milk opal with dendrites.
Opal in Matrix - opal in matrix is similar to boulder opal. Precious opal is dispersed in small fragments throughout the matrix rock, rather than in a seam or even layer.
Opal doublets - a thin layer of precious opal glued to a black base.
Opal triplets - a thin layer of precious opal glued to a black base with a transparent cap composed of quartz or other similar material, such as synthetic spinel or sapphire.
Pink opal - pink opal is delicate, but some opal, such as Peruvian opal, form together with chalcedony, which results in a slightly harder and more durable opal.
Porcelain opal - white, opaque milk opal.
Prase opal - apple-green opal.
Precious opal - displays rainbow-like hues that change with the angle of observation, especially in rounded cut forms.
Semi black or gray opal - precious opal with a dark body color.
Wax opal - yellow-brown opal with wax-like luster.
White opal - precious opal with white or very light body color.
Wood opal - yellowish or brownish opal in the form of fossilized wood.
Opal Mythology, Metaphysical and Crystal Healing
The name opal was probably derived from Sanskrit "upala", meaning "valuable stone" or from the Greek word "opallus" which means to see a change in color. Later, the Latin word "opalus" evolved, meaning precious stone. In the days of Roman antiquity there existed a so-called "opalus", or a "stone from several elements". Pliny the Elder, the famous Roman author, called opal a gemstone which combines the best possible characteristics of the most beautiful of gemstones; the fine sparkle of almandine, the shining purple of amethyst, the golden yellow of topaz, and the deep blue of sapphire, "so that all colors shine and sparkle together in a beautiful combination". According to an old Australian Aboriginal legend, the Creator came down from the heavens on a rainbow and delivered a message of peace for all mankind. Stones that were near the place where His feet touched the ground suddenly came to life and began to sparkle. This was believed to be the birth of opal.
For ages people have believed in the healing power of opal. It is reported to be able to solve depression and to help its wearer find true and real love. Opal is also said to stimulate originality and creativity. Opal is porous and because of this, it is quite absorbent. Due to its ability to absorb, it is thought that it can pick up the thoughts and feelings of people and amplify emotions. Opal is a birthstone for those who are born in October.

Opal Gemstone and Jewelry Design Ideas
Opals are best suited for earrings, brooches and pendants. Due to the delicate nature of opals, they are not recommended to be worn daily as rings or other types of jewelry that are subject to hard knocks, although most still choose to wear opal rings, just with extra care to prevent damage to the stone while wearing. Opals can be drilled to make attractive pendants for necklaces or earrings. They can also be bezel set or wire-wrapped for occasional-wear rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants. Tumbled opals also make eye-catching beads. Opals are also often carved in ornamental designs, such as animal or flower carvings. Opal gemstones are suitable for both men and women, and large cabochon opals are ideal for oversized gemstone rings or pendants. Black opal, chocolate opal, boulder opal and opal in matrix are all very popular for use in men's fashion accessories.
Note: Buy colored gemstones by size and not by carat weight. Colored stones vary in size-to-weight ratio. Some stones are larger and others are smaller than diamonds by weight in comparison.
'Big Ben' is a white precious opal of over 800 grams, more than 4000 carats, which was found at Lightning Ridge, Australia.
'The Light of the World' is a white precious opal of 40 grams, 2,250 carats, which was found in Australia. It is considered to be the most colorful white opal of all time.
The 'Andamooka Desert Flame', is the largest opal ever brought to the light of day; weighing 6,843 kilograms.
Opal Gemstone Jewelry Care and Cleaning
Opals are delicate gemstones. Their most significant weakness has to do with their water content. If an opal is allowed to dry, it will crack and fade. If you live in a very dry climate, or keep them in a dehumidified room, some precautions are necessary. Keeping them in a tight plastic bag, with a damp piece of cotton or fabric will prevent dehydration. Because of their water content, opals are also highly sensitive to sudden changes in temperature.
Being somewhat soft, opals scratch easily. It is important to realize that a large component of ordinary dust is quartz at 7 (Mohs scale) in hardness. At 5.5 to 6 in hardness, simply wiping the dust off an opal will gradually reduce its polish. The solution is to clean your opals using a soft cloth and only mild soap or detergent if needed. Do not use harsh chemical or cleaners and avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steamers. Always remove opal jewelry before engaging in vigorous physical activity.

News - Qoros
Geneva show: China's Qoros still on Australian radar
Plot hatched: China's Qoros formally launched its Qoros 3 hatch on the European market at the Geneva show.
Despite two year wait for right-hook cars, Ateco still eyes Chinese brand Qoros
By RON HAMMERTON and TIM NICHOLSON in GENEVA
AUSTRALIAN independent importer Ateco Automotive is still interested in pursuing Chinese-built Qoros cars for Australasian distribution, despite the fact that right-hand drive production is still up to two years away.
Ateco chairman Neville Crichton said he had not ruled out putting up his hand for the Qoros range, which currently has only one production model, the mid-sized Qoros 3, in sedan and new hatchback forms, but has more on the way – including a crossover and an SUV based on the 3 platform.
Speaking at the Geneva motor show where Qoros – an international company jointly owned by Israeli and Chinese backers, including Chinese car brand Chery – formally launched the Qoros 3 hatch on the European market, Mr Crichton said no decision had been made on import rights for Australia.
However, he said that if and when right-hand production became available, he would be interested in talking to Qoros about distribution opportunities in Australia and New Zealand.
Mr Crichton already has two Chinese brands in his stable – Chery and Great Wall. The Chery relationship would seem to put Ateco in the box seat, but GoAuto understands another potential importer has also been sounding out Qoros.
Mr Crichton, who also imports Fiat Chrysler Group products into New Zealand in partnership with former Fiat Chrysler Group Australia CEO Clyde Campbell, said that unlike many Chinese vehicles, Qoros models were upmarket, and would need to be sold as such in Australia.
He said that would raise its own set of challenges – how to sell a semi-prestige car from China in Australia where Chinese brands were seen as budget brands.
For now, Qoros is concentrating on left-hand drive markets, starting in China where the cars – designed by an international team of engineers and stylists – are built, and then extending to Europe and other markets.
Qoros Auto executive director of sales, marketing and product strategy Stefano Villanti told GoAuto on the Qoros stand at Geneva that the initial focus for the brand will be on its home market and Europe before it looks to expand to other global markets.
"The first market of course is China which is our core market and we are going to Eastern Europe as a slow start and then of course extending into European markets," her said. "The car has been developed for the Chinese market but at the same time for Europe because it is one and the same product."
Beyond Europe and China, Mr Villanti said the Israeli-Chinese company will look at taking its single model line-up to some of the world's developing markets.
"We are planning several other markets because we are planning the Middle East, Africa, South America, but of course in scale we are not huge so we have got to start somewhere with a certain discipline."
Mr Villanti also confirmed that the company would "absolutely" look at setting up manufacturing operations in countries other than China if the demand for its products grows to a level that it is sustainable to do so.
"Again, its as we expand our export operation we are thinking the opportunity of producing not only in China."
Being a start-up car-maker, Mr Villanti said Qoros was in a fortunate position in that it can take a different approach to a number of areas of the business, including the dealer network and servicing.
"We have the opportunity of deciding. I think its a rare opportunity. In China, we are going with a traditional (dealer) model. The first objective is to build a solid service network.
"It's not traditional because we give exclusivity to dealers so basically we can give the flexibility of the model. For example, the service booking is becoming a feature we can implement very easily with this kind of model. In other markets it will depend," he said.
Mr Villanti confirmed to GoAuto the next phase of its model roll-out but would not go into detail about the models other than to say they will all share a platform.
"Our next model will be announced at the end of this year will be a cross, and then there will be an SUV.
"They are all based to a certain degree on the same model line. When we designed the platform we talked about a full line-up of models on it. That gave us the possibility of starting in a flexible way," he said

Here's a list that 15 years of email marketing excellence has told us are the crucial things you must check before you send every campaign.
Avoid mistakes: Wrong list. Broken links. Incorrect personalisation… There are so many things that can go wrong and most of them can cost you sales, time and money.
Achieve compliance: We strongly recommend that you remember to use the peer review sign-off section at the bottom of the checklist, and for all checklists it's a good idea to keep a copy in case someone else in your team needs to refer back to it later. The New Zealand spam law puts the onus on you to prove you DID NOT breach the Act, so record keeping is a key step in best practice.
Streamline your organisation's sending process: Set clear expectations about who is doing what and when. And 'why' too!


While clearing out some old email at work today, I found this gem that was forwarded to me long ago. Hope you enjoy!
The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions……..sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written "I LOVE YOU DAD". The next day that man committed suicide.
Anger and love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life. Things are to be used and people are to be loved. But the problem in today's world is that, people are used and things are loved.
Things are to be used, but people are to be loved. Be yourself. This is the only day we have. Have a nice day, best regards.

Report: Number of MVNOs exceeds 1,000 globally
by Anne Morris |
Sep 2, 2015 7:22am
GSMA Intelligence said the number of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) worldwide increased by 70 per cent between June 2010 and June 2015, reaching 1,017 as of June this year.
At the same time, the research company noted in its latest MVNO tracker that 210 players have either merged or ceased business over the past 15 years, indicating that the MVNO business carries a certain amount of risk and requires careful planning with a good business model in place.
Indeed, GSMA Intelligence said that EBITDA margins reported by MVNOs are notoriously low. Its analysis of the latest reported figures shows that the margins of virtual players "tend to stall within negative territory". Across the 20 operators worldwide that reported EBITDA between 2013 and 2015, quarterly EBITDA margin stood at –260 per cent on average, the company added.
As things stand, MVNOs are mostly present in the developed world, which accounts for almost four out of five MVNOs globally. Although the number of MVNOs has more than doubled in the developing world over the past five years, their presence in such markets remains limited. As of June 2015, MVNOs are in over 30 countries across the developing region, up from 13 countries in June 2010.
The report further noted that the 10 countries with the largest number of MVNOs in the developed region are Germany (129), the U.S. (108), the UK (76), the Netherlands (56), France (49), Australia (43), Denmark (43), Spain (35), Belgium (26) and Japan (23). Within the developing region, the five countries with the greatest number of MVNOs are Poland (27), Russia (16), Malaysia (13), China (11) and Chile (8).
GSMA Intelligence added that there is a third geographical category called "international players", which covers those companies that mainly target roamers and are not market-specific. International MVNOs accounted for 11 per cent of all MVNOs worldwide as of June 2015.
Looking ahead, the research company said it expects more countries to allow MVNOs to launch services in future, but notes that MVNO presence will remain mostly in the developed region. Future growth for these companies could be sustained by the adoption of alternative business models, it added. Such models could include a focus on mobile broadband connectivity, digital content, digital commerce and money services, communities, and solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT).

A Rubbertec palm means rugged durability in the most heavily-worn area of the mitt, while giving you a sure grip. Meanwhile the external water resistant zipper stash is ideal for securing your locker key and beer money, and it doubles as a heat pack pocket when you're not running on liquid warmth.

The end of the holiday season will find my hard drive littered with a variety of new games, mostly bought via Steam. When I was younger, I could imagine spending hours, days, weeks, completing a new game. But those days are over. Now, I just don't have the time with work and family. Of course that's a good thing. After all guys like me are usually expected to be living in their mom's basement. I've been blessed with far more than I could have imagined when I left home all those years ago.
So now, I am a dim sum gamer. As the cart of new, and often discounted older games, comes by my table, I am happy to just eat a small serving here and there. I know that most of my games are not going to be beaten. But I can still have fun with them nevertheless. That was the real epiphany for me. Getting older doesn't mean I have to stop playing games. I just play and enjoy them differently than my kids do. In the end, it's all good!
