P> As fast as you can say "database," George Meidhof lost his $1.2 million consulting firm. In the split second that knocked out his electricity, he lost his database of 600 clients, the company's accounts payable and proposals. All because he did not have a backup plan for his database.
"There are only two kinds of computer users. Those that have lost data and those that will lose data," said G. Morgan Watkins, manager of microcomputer technologies for the University of Texas in Austin. "People just assume they won't lose their data."
Two weeks after Pender Group in Chantilly, Va., suffered the loss, Meidhof started to offer data protection services. He consulted the Chamber of Commerce and Precision Data Corp. in Memphis, Tenn., who gave him a list of horror stories from other companies that have also lost important files.
Since October 1995 when he started the service, he has served 35 clients in the Washington metropolitan area. His data protection service uses software developed by Precision Data Corp. Once each night it reboots the computer and takes the new data, compresses it, encrypts it and sends it to Pender Group's servers. In the morning, the Pender Group backs up the information and stores it on a magnetic disk for short-term or long-term periods. When there is a loss, the tapes are consolidated, and the lost files are extracted from the tape.
Although Meidhof continues to do consulting as part of his service, the data loss prevention technology could become his primary revenue generator. In 1996, he expects to make profits of $200,000 on data protection services.
Any company that uses a computer to store files and company information is the potential victim of data loss. And companies suffer from data loss daily. According to Intel Corp., 95 percent of all U.S. corporations do not have a backup plan for their PCs. And only 10 percent to 15 percent of networked PCs are backed up regularly.
There are several factors behind a data loss disaster. Natural disasters, human error, equipment damage and burglary are the leading causes. According to Precision Data Corp., a software company specializing in backup systems, 25 percent of businesses that are not able to recover their data go out of business within one or two years.
Businesses lose data every day, and most of them are too busy or lazy to back up their systems. Companies can spend up to $100,000 to recover data and several weeks inputting lost data.
But Meidhof was not so lucky. He barely recovered his business by waiting for clients to call, and frantically scraped together information for his quarterly file with the Internal Revenue Service, 10 days after the disaster.
Despite the company's rebound, the business is certainly not as successful as it was before the disaster. "We are not as active as we were before," said Meidhof.
Since the influx of personal computers in the 1980s, the nation's utility companies have had to deal with the supply of electrical power. According to Jeff McWhirt, a power quality specialist for the northern division of Virginia Power, the rate structure does not provide for a separate computer-grade power source.
Virginia Power reports that a power interruption of only 15 milliseconds is enough to disrupt the operation of most computer systems. Virginia Power reports that the average customer spends two hours annually without power. Therefore companies are required to provide their own data protection systems.
There are several different options for data protection. One is to subscribe to a service such as the Pender Group for $60 a month and $75 per hour for recovery time. The other is to buy shrink-wrapped software from companies such as Hewlett-Packard Co., the leader in backup software programs.
According to Willy Gatling, retail manager at CompUSA in Tysons Corner, Va., the CD-ROM system made by Hewlett-Packard sells for $800 to $1,500. The CD-ROM version holds 650 megabytes or an entire 1.2 gigabyte hard drive. Gatling recommends the CD-ROM system for important, large documents. The second software package, also made by Hewlett-Packard and Iomega, is a tape backup system. The tape comes with a software program that backs up the files on a hard drive. The user then rotates the tapes daily. These packages sell for $149 to $300.
"Companies must learn to spend the time to back up files, which in the long run equals the amount of information they would lose if they don't," said Watkins. He suggests that companies take advantage of their local area networks, and keep company files stored on one network. Companies then can back up one system, instead of doing backup procedures on each PC.
The time and money spent on data backup systems is inconsequential compared with the consequences of losing an entire company. Especially for people like George Meidhof who went from the owner of a $1.2 million consulting firm to a $310,000 company.

RENAISSANCE : Beginning of the Modern Age
RENAISSANCE : Beginning of the Modern Age >
The Renaissance (from French: Renaissance "re-birth", Italian: Rinascimento, from rinascere "to be reborn") was a cultural movement that spanned the period roughly from the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. Though availability of paper and the invention of metal movable type sped the dissemination of ideas from the later 15th century, the changes of the Renaissance were not uniformly experienced across Europe.
As a cultural movement, it encompassed innovative flowering of Latin and vernacular literatures, beginning with the 14th-century resurgence of learning based on classical sources, which contemporaries credited to Petrarch, the development of linear perspective and other techniques of rendering a more natural reality in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform.
In politics, the Renaissance contributed the development of the conventions of diplomacy, and in science an increased reliance on observation. Historians often argue this intellectual transformation was a bridge between the Middle Ages and Modern history. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance man".
There is a consensus that the Renaissance began in Florence, Italy, in the 14th century. Various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.

Is there is anything better than a freshly-made bed with pure linen sheets? I don't think so! The soft texture and relaxed, naturally crumpled fabric looks inviting and so chic too. But where to buy it? How to choose? In this post, I'm sharing my tips and advice on why you need linen bedding in your life. Keep on scrolling to get your paws on a very special discount code.
Right now, my bed is having a moment. And it is a rose, blush coloured moment piled high with soft linens which looks as good as it feels.
And the dog loves it as much as me. He keeps sneaking into my bedroom and getting very comfy on my bed.
At this time of year, I'm spending more time snuggled in bed (don't judge me, it's cold out there!). I've made my bedroom winter ready with wonderful-to-touch linen bedding by MagicLinen. Did you know linen can bring lots of natural benefits to your home? By the end of this post, you'll be adding bedding from MagicLinen to your Christmas shopping wish list.
I was contacted by Vita the founder of MagicLinen to see if I would like to review her linen bedding. Vita explained that MagicLinen is a small family business based in Lithuania. A country, where growing, weaving and sewing traditions have roots from ancient times.
They have a huge range of linens in the colours of the rainbow, and in so many designs – from modern, to classic to romantic.
Why do I lust after linen so much, you may well ask? It's full of lots of natural benefits for you and your home.
Linen is made from the fibres of the flax plant. It's very breathable and helps to regulate your body temperature, handy at bedtime when our bodies tend to be hotter. It also creates a cool feeling in hot weather and warmth in cold weather.
Linen absorbs moisture and it also dries out fast (for sweaty sleepers – gross but true). It has antibacterial properties too as it is a natural antiseptic, killing bacteria and fungus. It also helps reduces inflammation, making it the ideal material for people who suffer from skin rashes or eczema (like I do).
In summer, I'm drawn to white linen as you can see in this post HERE. In winter, I like to switching things up, preferring a cosy, snuggly look.
I was completely torn on which design to choose. And which shade. I adored this grid design one. And I have my eye on this blue ticking one for the future. But in the end I picked the soft blush of this Woodrose Pink set (£153 for cover and two pillowcases).
I've been slightly obsessed by this colour since the start of the year, slowly adding it to my home. I even have a whole PINTEREST board dedicated to this shade. This dusty pink tone is perfect for creating a snuggle atmosphere in a bedroom. It adds warmth without being too girly.
I also ordered two off-white linen bolster cushion covers which has been on my lust list…for, like ever. Bolster cushion covers are so hard to find in the UK. These ones come with a thick ribbon that you can tie into a bow. I LOVE THEM. I got my fills from John Lewis for £8 each.
The bolster cushion covers I chose in Optical White – so that I could interchange them between my bedroom and my guest bedroom. You can see my blue guest bedroom makeover HERE.
I love the little details like the coconut buttons. The wide flap on the pillowcases which means you never see the pillow inside. And the overall softness of the fabric. It stole my heart.
Taking a quick look at their website, it's easy to see that MagicLinen care deeply about being eco-friendly, organic and part of their company ethos is to embrace slow living. They step out their way to work with organic fabrics, and make items by hand rather than going to big factories.
They only use European high-quality OEKO-Tex certified linens. Their fabrics are stonewashed which softens the line without using chemicals. It makes their bedding soft to the touch.
All the bedlinen is handmade, cut with tailor shears and sewed by skilled tailors bespoke for you. I was pretty blown away by this fact to think my linens had been made just for me to my design for for my blush bedroom – all for around £150 for a set.
I hope these images make you want to dive right in my crumpled bed! My only issue now, is getting out of bed in the cold winter mornings!
When styling your linen bedding, don't think you have to go all crumpled and messy (unless you want to). You can create a more formal look, like I have, by stacking up your pillows and bolsters. And a throw picked up from my trip to Morocco (which you can read about HERE).
The best bit? You don't have to iron it! And it will get better and better after every wash (unlike my white bed sheets which takes hard work to keep looking good).
If you want a luxe look, I think their frilly bed skirts are particularly pretty if you have a divan bed you are trying to hide. Again, these are on my wish list for my spare room.
Don't forget the basics too. A really good quality mattress will help you get the best night sleep. Bed Guru have a huge range of mattresses to match every price point and over 13 different types include natural ones, sprung pockets ones and mattresses designed for couples in mind. Have a look at their mattresses and I'm sure you'll find one perfect for you and your bedroom.
Magic Linen have a huge range of bedsheets, fitted sheets, baby bedding – and clothing. I think you'll love the way they style up their linens on their blog.
MagocLinen have a very special Black Friday offer giving everyone 15% off purchases, storewide from November 23-27 2018. And they will donate $5 from each order placed between Black Friday and Giving Tuesday to Mothers' Union (a local charity that takes care of children diagnosed with cancer). You can find more info about the initiative HERE.
I would love to know, do you like linen on your bed? I'm sleeping so much better now (maybe a bit too well!) since trying out these sheets.
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Treat Your Bedroom To Blush Linens". Here is the website link: https://www.welovehomeblog.com/2018/11/treat-your-bedroom-to-blush-linens/. Thank you.

Carriera

Club
Nella stagione 1931-1932 con il Glasgow Rangers ha segnato 53 gol, di cui 44 in campionato e 9 in coppa, risultando uno dei maggiori calciatori per numero di gol realizzati in una singola stagione.
Nella stessa stagione, sabato 5 settembre ad Ibrox Park, durante l'Old Firm contro i  poco dopo l'inizio della ripresa, English si lanciò verso la porta avversaria; il portiere dei  John Thomson uscì con irruenza e si lanciò sulla palla, ricevendo una violenta ginocchiata in testa che gli fratturò il cranio, rompendogli un'arteria a livello della tempia destra.

Thomson ricevette i primi soccorsi direttamente in campo dai medici della St Andrew's Ambulance Association e fu portato via in barella, sanguinante. Dagli spalti, gli spettatori credettero a un infortunio breve entità, e secondo The Scotsman fu visto «alzarsi dalla barella e voltarsi verso il punto del campo in cui era accaduto il fatto»; le fonti parlano di mormorii interrogativi e di urla di donna, poi attribuiti alla fidanzata Margaret. Alcuni tifosi del Rangers esultarono per l'infortunio occorso ad un avversario, e furono invitati a fermarsi dal capitano biancoblù David Meiklejohn. Un giocatore dei Gers, che studiava medicina, disse di aver compreso immediatamente, alla vista del portiere, che avrebbe avuto poche possibilità di sopravvivere. La partita continuò con il centrocampista Geatons tra i pali per il Celtic, e terminò 0-0.

Thomson fu portato all'Ospedale Victoria di Glasgow, dove gli fu diagnosticata una rientranza nella parte destra del cranio profonda 5 centimetri; alle 17 ebbe una crisi convulsiva e fu condotto in sala operatoria per tentare di ridurre l'emorragia cerebrale. L'operazione non ebbe successo, e Thomson fu dichiarato morto alle 21:25.

Sam English fu profondamente traumatizzato dall'incidente; accusato di malevolenza per non aver scavalcato il portiere, fu poi scagionato da un'inchiesta che derubricò il tutto a incidente, tesi supportata anche dalla famiglia della vittima e dai giocatori presenti sul campo. Continuò a giocare per alcuni anni, scegliendo di trasferirsi in Inghilterra a causa dell'ostilità che gli mostravano molti tifosi per l'episodio; nel 1938, al termine della sua carriera, confidò di non aver mai più provato gioia nel giocare.

A cat that helped her 12-year-old owner battle bone cancer has been honoured at a special ceremony in London.
Eight-year-old Genie was crowned overall winner at the National Cat Awards 2017 for the incredible support and inspiration she provided Evie Henderson.
Evie, who was diagnosed with bone cancer in March 2016, has endured six gruelling rounds of chemotherapy, painful operations, and long hospital stays away from home.
During this time, Evie has gained strength from the bond she has with Genie, watching videos of her from her hospital bed and telling doctors that she needed to get better so that she could go home to see Genie.
When Evie started to lose her hair, she noticed that Genie's fur was moulting and that it helped her to feel like she was not alone.
As well as being crowned overall winner, Genie also scooped the award for 'Outstanding Rescue Cat'.
Journalist Andrew Collins, actor Paul Copley and 'The Vamps' musician James McVey were among the celebrities that attended the awards ceremony, organised by Cats Protection.

Today ambient air pollution is a widely recognized problem and it is taking the shape of a global epidemic. It is posing severe health challenges for people worldwide; in particular, people with Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRD) and heart problems, children, elderly citizens, and pregnant women. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2012 one in eight global deaths was due to prolonged exposure to air pollution. In fact, a lifetime of exposure to ambient air pollution in a highly polluted city has a higher impact on the life expectancy than lifetime exposure to passive smoking.
Air pollution is thus now the world's largest single environmental health risk.
The challenge is that most of the time we do not know when and where we are exposed to dangerous pollution levels. This lack of information robs us of possible counter-measures that could help us address this issue. Knowledge of when and where air pollution levels are high may not only improve the overall quality of life, especially to the aforementioned people, but it can also reduce the direct costs of medical care by as high as 50% in the case of asthmatics annually as illustrated in recent medical studies in the American Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology .
We believe that reducing air pollution and its effects on humans and the environment is paramount for the future of our planet. With Hawa Dawa we are taking a small step towards this overarching goal by increasing individual awareness of the air quality in her or his respective city. Through our network-based map and services we aim to create a community of health- and environmentally aware individuals. We want to finally use this network to promote grass-root initiatives to help the less fortunate in reducing their exposure. There are many simple and affordable ways with which you can reduce your exposure to air pollutants both indoors and outdoors. In the future we will share those solutions through this blog.
This is why we created Hawa Dawa, because we want to provide a holistic solution, starting from identifying the problem to offering tailored health-benefitting solutions. This is our small contribution towards addressing air pollution and we will continue to work tirelessly to improve our solution and to materialize many of our current ideas to make this world a better place.

College students face challenges with distance learning
By Bridey Brown
The COVID-19 outbreak left college students feeling like they had bigger workloads and a lack of motivation as universities made the transition to distance learning.
On March 6, the University of Washington became the first major university to shift to online instruction for the remainder of the semester. By the middle of March, during the height of spring break season, more than 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states had made the switch to distance learning.
Online instruction introduced a new set of challenges for students.
Gabi Gremillion, a sophomore architecture major at the University of Texas at Austin, said the amount of work she's getting seems to be occupying nearly all of her time in quarantine.
"I don't think I could do this level of work if I were in actual college right now," Gremillion said. "I don't have a lot of time for things other than schoolwork right now, and that's weird because it's the only thing I'm doing."
Carissa Demma, a sophomore communications major at the University of Arkansas, said that although some professors are sympathetic to the new work environments many students are in, she also has professors who are going in the opposite direction.
"I think they feel like they have to make up for the fact that students aren't physically in the classroom, and their solution to that is giving us more work so we aren't just logging on every three weeks to take an exam," Demma said.
In addition to the increased workload, Demma said she's also struggled with being productive in quarantine, surrounded by distractions at home.
"Obviously it's no fault of my family," Demma said, "but when you live with three other people again, and your mom and dad are working from home, and they're both taking conference calls all day, it can be hard to find somewhere quiet."
In terms of Gremillion's online experience, she said, "no one really knows how to do it, and all of the teachers have to prepare their classes in two weeks, which is probably hard for them."
UT is offering courses online for the remainder of the semester and announced April 1 that all summer session classes would also be online.
The University of Arkansas also announced April 7 that all summer school sessions through Aug. 8 will be conducted online.

Here's the official Press Release from the Bulldogs.
Don't forget to catch Mark Monday Morning at 8:10am on 93.3 The Peak FM.
Canadiens in 2010 National Hockey League entry draft.
be selected in the NHL entry draft.
the Year Award for the Coastal Conference.
excited for Mark and his family," adds Esdale.
Hockey Association (WCHA) in the NCAA.
I just caught up with Mark, out boating as he found out he was now the property of the Montreal Canadiens. Cool stuff.
I asked him what he was doing at 8am on Monday, and he answered "I'm guessing doing a radio interview with you" haha!
The Montreal Canadiens pick Mark MacMillan 113th overall in the 4th round. His stock obviously went up.
I am hoping to have Mark on the 93.3 The Peak FM Morning show on Monday. I will let you know once I confirm it.
Congrats to Mark and the MacMillan family and to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs organization from top to bottom. Their first ever draft pick. Its a great day!
Sadly, I'm off to a wedding, more later!
....Rockin' the Bulldog Uni. Nice!
We are up here at Quality Foods until 7pm selling copies of Angel's Cookbook to raise money for Variety, and Pediatric Care on Vancouver Island!
Come on up and visit "King" Richard Brodeur, Global TV's Steve Darling, or heck, even me!
The 2010 NHL Draft gets going in Los Angeles tonight with Round 1 getting underway tonight. The subsequent rounds go tomorrow. Mark MacMillan was ranked 135th amongst North American Skaters when the final Central Scouting Rankings came out.
If Mark ends up getting selected by an NHL Club, he will be the first ever Alberni Valley Bulldog drafted by an NHL team. No doubt some anxious moments in the MacMillan household. Good luck Mark!
One more note about Mark - someone raised the topic in the comments section below as to whether or not he has committed to the University of North Dakota. I too have heard the rumours for some time now, but however, I haven't seen anything CONFIRMED. It was quickly mentioned at the Bulldogs Corporate Night on Tuesday night, but as of yet nothing has been confirmed by the Sioux or the Bulldogs. Until then, I'm like you in that I have just heard the rumours, I'm hoping for a Press Release or some confirmation soon!
Local Hockey fans might remember the 2009 World U17 Challenge being promoted as a chance to see the stars of tomorrow, today. It certainly seems that the statement was right on the money....read on.
PORT ALBERNI – Friday night's televised first round of the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft is a "who's who" of the world's best young hockey talent and Alberni Valley residents may recognize many of those names as participants in the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. With players like Tyler Seguin, Erik Gudbranson, and Brandon Gormley all likely to be Top 5 picks, Port Alberni had the privilege of watching the NHL's future stars up close and personal in the highest level of competition possible at their age group.
Other players to watch for in the first round to be televised live from Los Angeles on TSN are: Brett Connolly who competed here for Team Pacific and 2009 Team USA U-17 Goalie Jack Campbell. Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov and Finn Mikael Granlund also have strong potential. Along with Canadian players Mark Pysyk and Jeff Skinner.
When asked who Ron would pick from this group for his favorite team, the Edmonton Oilers, he said, "Brett Connolly has all the talent and speed in the world to be an impact forward." Director of Sponsorships, Dave McCormick, on the other hand, would select "the next Niklas Lidstrom," in his assessment, Brandon Gormley. Whether it's Taylor Hall (played in 2008 U17s) or Tyler Seguin that goes first overall to Edmonton or any of the others on the long list of prospects that played in the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge there is no doubt that we got to watch the best that our game, our future, had to offer!
Bulldog forward Trent Dorais and his teammates on Team Canada are having great success at the 2010 World Ball Hockey Championships in Austria.....Canada has already secured first place and a spot in the Gold Medal Game. They play the US tonight, but it won't impact their place in the standings. The update on Trent - he has been playing defence, he has two goals, and he's managed to stay out of the penalty box. Way to go Canada, and way to go Trent!
Don't forget to make your way to Quality Foods tonight between 4pm and 7pm for Angel's Celebrity BBQ to raise much needed funds for Pediatric Care on Vancouver Island. I'll be there, haha, as will King Richard Brodeur, Global's Steve Darling, Olympian Travis Cross, and more!

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs would like to announce the hiring of Kevin Hasselberg as Assistant General Manager and Assistant Coach of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Welcome to the team Chad!
The Alberni Valley Bulldogs announced today that Chad Oliver has accepted the position of Athletic Therapist / Trainer with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Oliver, a Canadian Certified Athletic Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, joined the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton last summer and will make the move to Port Alberni for the 2010 / 2011 season.
internship with the New York Rangers of the NHL. Oliver has also worked with the Winnipeg Rifles of the Canadian Junior Football League.
For further information please contact Paul Esdale at 250.723.4412.
This one is a little surprising to me, but only for the reason that I was like everyone else in that I expected Cecere to suit up for the University of Nebraska Omaha at the NCAA level for the upcoming season.
Maybe I'm confused, but as far as I can remember Cecere arrived in Bulldog land last summer tabbed for the NCAA for 2010-11. Maybe UNO told him that they wanted him to play another year of Junior?
Whatever the case, you can't blame a kid for taking the opportunity if he's able to make a higher level league like the USHL while also being able to play closer to home.
I've run into some debate on the USHL being a "higher league". Quite simply, I call it a higher league as it's designated as Tier 1, much like the WHL/OHL/QMJHL. It's at the very least the best Junior League in the US, and a competitor of the BCHL. From the USHL's perspective, I would think that their #1 competition is Major Junior, not the BCHL. Several BCHL players have left the league and made a go of it in the USHL, but from my recent memory, more players have given the USHL a go and in the end they ended up back in the BCHL, like Sahir Gill of the Vernon Vipers, for instance.
Here's hoping for Nick's sake it doesn't end up like the Adam Hout situation, as he left the team after the 08-09 season to try the USHL, only to end up back with the Bulldogs around Christmas.
Best of luck to Nick in the future.

I need your help....I am in jail at the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life. In an effort to raise money for Cancer Research, they have thrown me in the clink and have told me to start calling friends to get my bail money!
The problem is I am also supposed to be the MC!
So in honor of anyone fighting or who has fought cancer, get your buns and your wallets to Bob Dailey Stadium, stat!
Lars Hepso on THE PEAK Morning Show today....Relay for Life, other Community Happenings.
Just after the 8:10am News/Sports and Weather update today I will be joined on the 93.3 The Peak FM Morning Show by the latest Bulldog Recruit, Lars Hepso.
Don't forget that the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life takes place tonight at Bob Dailey Stadium from 7pm to tomorrow morning at 7am. I will be one of the Mc's of the earlier portions of the event. After hosting it last year and staying up right through to 7am, I'm taking a lesser role this year.
A final fundraiser for Relay for Life today up at Alberni Chrysler as they are having the "bosses" washing cars, with proceeds going to Relay.....So head up there and put them to work! The Alberni Auto Group (Alberni Chrysler, Alberni Toyota) made a commitment to donate a portion of all vehicle sales throughout the year to Relay.....at last report yesterday they were up over $7,000.00 if I remember correctly. Great stuff.
More from the "car people in town" comes from Van Isle Ford as they are trying to raise $6,000.00 tomorrow at ADSS. I can't tell you how many emails, texts, and facebooks that I have received about this one from people urging me to promote it heavily. It's obvious with the amount of funding (or lack thereof) for our local high school that this $6,000.00 could be very very very well used by the school.
No single community in Canada has ever raised the MAXIMUM of $6,000.00 so please get out tomorrow after 11am, head to ADSS and take a test drive, and make them $20.00!
There will also be a Hot Dog BBQ by donation with all monies raised going to ADSS as well.
We are very lucky to have good dealerships in town, who are doing what they can to support the community we call home, so please support them!
one. We look forward to Lars contributing offensively."
and will fit in with our style of play," adds Esdale.
Bulldogs thank Pearce for his contributions last season and wish him well in the future.

A surprising news item today, as the Victoria Grizzlies announced on their website that they have signed Pearce Eviston for 2010-2011...... Sorry, make that the Colwood/Langford Grizzlies.
The Victoria Grizzlies are excited to announce the signing of Pearce Eviston. Eviston a 6'1", 190lbs., 1992 born forward, joins the Grizzlies after playing last season for B.C. Major Midget, Vancouver Canadians until January, when he signed with the BCHL, Port Alberni Bulldogs. In 22 games for the Vancouver Canadians he tallied 11 goals and 23 assists. Before signing with the Bulldogs in January, he was an affiliated player with the Grizzlies last season and played in three games for us scoring his first BCHL goal as a Grizzly in Merritt.
Sorry, but the Bulldogs haven't been the "Port Alberni" Bulldogs for one single second of their existence. They always have, and always will be - the ALBERNI VALLEY Bulldogs. Yes, they play in the city of Port Alberni, but that doesn't matter, as it's not the TEAM NAME.
It's not the Duncan Capitals is it? The Vancouver Lions?
Sorry, it's a pet peeve (like you couldn't tell, ha ha) that has annoyed me over the last year. More and more BCHL rinks and teams keep referring to the team here as the "Port Alberni Bulldogs" which just isn't true.
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming. I will never mention it again.
This raises the number of players who wore a Bulldog last year, who will wear a Grizzlies uniform this year to TWO, as earlier this spring Bulldog Affiliate Player Evan Richardson also signed with the Grizz.
I'm sure I was in the same boat as the rest of you with this one as any news that Eviston had been released by the Dogs was just that -NEWS to me.
I certainly liked what Pearce showed on the ice through moments last season...but of course there is a lot more to it than that. In the eyes of Head Coach and GM Paul Esdale, he wanted to make a change, and that is all that matters.
It's interesting that Eviston started as an AP with the Grizzlies, then signed full time with the Dogs, then was released by the Dogs, and has now signed full time with the Grizzlies again.
Best of luck Pearce, we will certainly see lots of you with the amount of games these two teams play.
In my opinion, this shows how the Bulldog Organization is going in the right direction. Two years ago, even a year ago, the thought would have never crossed your mind that the Grizzlies would want any players in the Bulldog system.
Congrats to the Alberni Valley Midget Tyees, winners on the weekend in Surrey....Thanks Simon for the update.
The Alberni Valley Tyees Midget Lacrosse team swept 5 games to win the Craig Bailey Memorial Lacrosse Tournament held June 11-13, 2010 in Surrey, B.C.

Well, what do you think? I've been laid up sick since Friday, so I did some tinkering to the blog in my downtime....at least when I had the energy to get on the computer. What a nasty bug!
I'd love to hear your thoughts feedback and suggestions on the new layout, I will test and try any suggestions to the best of my abilities.
A special stick-tap to my old teammate on Bulldogs Broadcasts, Alf Thompson, for some additional stats on the newest member of the Bulldogs, Nanaimo native Trent Murdoch who is pictured above as a member of the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in 2008-2009.
Murdoch has a nice resume beyond his just shy of 20 goals and 50 points season last year in the BCHL....Murdoch was the 2009 V.I.J.H.L Rookie of the Year as he amassed 65 points in 48 regular season games with 27 goals and 38 assists. Great numbers. He scored 8 goals on the power play, 3 goals short handed, and he spent 72 minutes in the penalty box.
His 65 points was good for second overall in league scoring.
Congrats to the Hawks and their fans.....I sadly didn't see a single moment of the action from the clincher, as I had a double header on the Slo-Pitch Fields. Whomever comes up with our schedule really needs to consider the playoffs!
I finally saw the winning goal yesterday. Wow, what an odd one. That's how you bump a 'since '61 slump. It was funny to listen to all four broadcasts, CBC, NBC, Flyers Radio, and Hawks Radio. NO ONE got the goal call right, as everyone had varying degrees of confusion in their calls of the biggest goal of the year. It was certainly an odd one.
The biggest laugh I got was from the NBC call by Doc Emrick. He is without a doubt the NUMBER ONE play-by-play caller in the US. And while I would take him over almost anyone else that calls games South of the Border, I still am not a HUGE fan. In my opinion, he has a whole bunch of 'isms' that rub me the wrong way. I'm sure I have lots that rub people the wrong way too. I just don't like that his 'isms' seem to just "fill in the blanks", and they aren't necessary what is ACTUALLY HAPPENING during the game.
Case in point is "it's kicked on back". Doc must say this 764 times a game. "kicked on back, kicked on back"
That's it for today...besides the World Cup....GO BRAZIL!
I havent had more than 10 seconds to look at it, but I certainly like the front loaded early part of the schedule with 8 out of the first 10 games coming on Dog Pound ice.
This schedule was printed on Friday, June 11, 2010.
Sounds like another solid addition by Paul Esdale.
Murdoch will join me on the 93.3 The Peak FM Morning Show for an Interview tomorrow morning just after 8:10am.
assists for 49 points in 60 games.
The Stanley Cup will be in the building tonight as the Hawks visit the Flyers holding a 3-2 series lead, trying to end the longest championship drought in the NHL at 41 years.
The Hawks are really good on the road. The Flyers are really good at home.
This one should be a beauty.
Sadly I have a double header at the park for Slo Pitch tonight, so here's hoping it's either rained out, or the Flyers force a Game 7 for Friday night so I don't miss the last hockey game of the year!
Huge congrats to Andy Oakes!
If being recognized once wasn't enough, hopefully his winning this award twice will really make the Bulldogs fanbase realize how hard he works not only for the team, but also for the league as a whole.
Burnaby, BC -- June 8, 2010 -- Alberni Valley Bulldogs' President and Governor Andy Oakes has been selected by the British Columbia Hockey League's Board of Governors as its Executive of the Year for the second consecutive season, the league announced Tuesday.
The award comes on the heels of an outstanding year for Oakes's Bulldogs, who led the Coastal Conference with 93 points prior to a postseason run that saw the team reach the seventh game of the Conference Finals. Three Alberni Valley players and head coach Nolan Graham were recognized with Conference Awards at the conclusion of the regular season.
Oakes has also taken on a leadership role in the growth of the league, as he chairs the BCHL's Strategic Planning Committee and sits on the five-member League Executive.
Oakes, who had previously suited up in the BCHL as a player, returned to the league following the purchase of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs by the Okanagan Hockey Schools in 2007. Oakes is the President of Okanagan Hockey Schools and the Okanagan Hockey Academy.

In everyday life, we are faced with different conflicts all the time. Most of these situations require us to respond, and depending on our response, we are faced with the consequences of our actions. These consequences are subjectively categorized as either good or bad, or winning or losing, or victory or defeat; depending on the quality of the circumstances.
What does it mean to be victorious? If we look at O'Sensei's words, it seems as if he wants us to defeat ourselves. The common understanding of Masakatsu Agatsu is to be able to control the self is true victory. Are we to fight ourselves? Why are we fighting ourselves? How can we be victorious if we defeat ourselves? What does it mean to be victorious over ourselves? What does it mean to control ourselves, and from what? What is the "self"?
I will now pick out some concepts from other fields of study to try to dig at the heart of Masakatsu Agatsu.
In light of the above concepts from different fields, They all seem to imply that there is a battle within ourselves. I will say simply here that what these three concepts have in common is that the "self" is indeed "self"-ish . And further, in order to triumph over the "self", there must be a shift within us, moving from "self"-ish to "self"-less. And in being "self"-less, we can find our true self, the person we truly are, the soul within fully expressed in the body.
In a conflict situation, it can be applied that instead of acting in the duality of winning or losing, one must go beyond that dynamics and move from a more superior platform. This platform is realized when we understand that in any conflict, to look at the differences is to aggravate the situation and reinforce the dualism of winning and losing.
There should be a change from a heart that takes to a heart that gives.
The goal of Aikido therefore is not to look at the differences, but to look at the commonality, respecting the opposition, and adapting to change with compassion. Even in the martial techniques of Aikido, this concept of kindness should be instilled in performing all waza; understanding that the intent is not to harm, but instead live together in harmony. I think this is what O'Sensei meant by Masakatsu Agatsu.
He meant for us to get over ourselves. He meant for Aikidokas to not be part of the conflict but instead part of the solution: to be instruments of peace and of love. In doing Aikido, let us work on doing techniques not out of the intention to injure or "win", but out of the intention to reconcile which is true victory. And, in living our lives, let us respond not out of selfishness but out of love. This can only be done by digging deep, and removing the barriers that prevent us from loving.

Tradicionalmente, se ha argumentado que el concepto de eudaimonía en Aristóteles se encuentra anclado en el contexto de una comprensión teleológica del universo, por cuanto dicha noción parece radicar en una definición funcionalista de la naturaleza humana. Teniendo esto en mente, Bernard Williams ha desarrollado una crítica en contra de la propuesta ética de Aristóteles, acusándola de una cierta ambición científica en el campo del razonamiento práctico que resulta insostenible actualmente. Este ensayo busca discutir si, en efecto, estos señalamientos tienen un sustento plausible o si, por el contrario, se basan en una interpretación debatible de los fundamentos de la ética aristotélica. Con este propósito, se analiza la justificación del razonamiento ético de Aristóteles a la luz de los argumentos de Williams y de algunos de sus contradictores.

Funding cuts, staff shortages, agency rules, challenging recruitment drives – there's no doubt that workforce is a top concern for HR and Training Managers of NHS Trusts. Ben Park, Senior Project Support Officer at Health Education England (NE), might just have the answer: The Apprenticeship Levy.
The Apprenticeship Levy came into effect on 6 April 2017 in a bid to engage employers to invest in Apprenticeship Programmes and to raise additional funds to improve the quality and quantity of apprenticeships.
Considering apprenticeships? Download our free Apprenticeship Starter pack.
Here's Ben's top three tips to help NHS Trusts get started with apprenticeships.
1. Getting senior management buy in for an apprenticeship programme is the first step.
Look at where you're spending money on training and qualifications now and where you'll need to spend in the future. Can you develop apprentices in these areas which could be funded through the levy, as opposed to your training budget.
2. Build a team dedicated to the administration and delivery of the apprenticeships.
Occupationally competent staff and quality systems are most important, together with staff who have a broad knowledge of delivering training i.e. Ofsted, ESFA funding rules etc. and who can keep abreast of any changes. If you don't want to develop this team inhouse, companies such as Tribal are on hand with experts offering the full range of support and advice in these areas.
3. Don't be put off by the rules and regulations.
NHS Trusts that provide apprenticeships will need to comply with apprenticeship rules around evidencing learning and financing the programmes. However, don't let this put you off. There are a wealth of tools available to monitor and evaluate learner performance and outcomes, and help you to easily claim back the funds.
It's invaluable having a learner management solution to monitor and evaluate all your learners, their progress, and their current or previous status. Issues we used to face year-on-year were primarily implementing 'paperwork' changes and updates for example to their individual learner record which you need to submit every month in order to draw down the funding. Our system, Maytas, now handles this for us, automatically and in a fraction of the time.
If you're thinking of setting up your own apprenticeship programme but don't know where to start, download our free Apprenticeship Starter Pack with all the essential information on what they are, how you can fund them and what you'll need to deliver them.

Part of Ben's role is to develop, maintain and deliver an effective management information system to HEE's stakeholders.


I woke to a hot tent, sunshine, and rain. It was Katie's turn to have sneaked out early, not for a swim but to photograph the huge rainbow straddling our camp, and only to discover that I'd left her camera's memory card in the reader last night, thereby causing her to miss the best moment. Whoops.
It'd been a later night than we'd expected. Having paid for a campsite and not knowing where my next opportunity for ablutions would arise, I for one had taken the opportunity to have a shower after finishing culinary duties in the 'dining shed' (very handy indeed - every campsite should have one). Possibly more importantly, I was able to rinse out my utterly minging socks. I'm not sure how I've done it but I only have two pairs with me, and one of those is the 'I'll take them just in case' spare pair I grabbed from the car's door bin as I was about to leave Oban. Flippin' good job I did, because even with two pairs, it's going to get 'interesting'. This is definitely not a place where I am going to find an M&S selling size 15 socks and mail order doesn't quite cut it when you don't know where you will live by the time a consignment reaches the islands.
The unfortunate side-effect of a time-constrained tour, especially when you're dependent on relatively infrequent ferries, time-limited border crossings, or a train to get you home, is that you end up with more intermediate 'deadlines' than you might like. They're all self-imposed of course, the world won't end if you don't make it, but the prospect of making it to all the places you're hoping to, is always set against the pleasures, or necessity in extremis, of staying where you are. It's especially hard to make that trade-off when you are entering new territory, which for us this time is North Uist, Berneray and Harris, in particular. For the more intrepid traveller, a good knowledge of the CalMac booklet's contents is invaluable if you are to avoid an awkward call to your employer to break the news to them that the next ferry off the island is the day after you were due back at your desk in the city.
As a result, the equation of 'waiting for the tent to dry' vs 'losing minutes off our margin for making the ferry to Eriskay' was particularly finely balanced this morning, and having bade a final farewell to Clem, Steff and a notably disappointed Noel, our almost-dry tent was shovelled into the panniers so fast we hardly noticed the midges, and we dashed off for the 1110 Eriskay ferry, my still-damp socks installed under the legs of my bibshorts; a hint of steam emanating from their new thigh-powered drying system.
The road from Eoligarry past the airport became a heavyweight time trial course, and we knew we were missing some beautiful beaches just out of sight to our right as we went haring over the lumpy, sandy road. At the end of a long, draughty straight back to Traigh Mór, I made the mistake of stopping to wait for Katie within sight of the baggage handling facility, and nearly had a mutiny on my hands when Rhoda, and then Ruth, wanted another ride through it.
Back towards the junction with the island's 'ring road' and we found ourselves on familiar tarmac, alas with little time to stop and take in the stunning view of the beach we'd sat and drunk in last time we were here. We attacked a couple of sharp little rises, which we remembered slogging up with the trailer pushed on foot by Thomas Ivor, and it became apparent that if we were going to make it, it would be very tight. Frustrated by seeing a lorry, which I knew would make the ferry comfortably, turn across our path, whilst possibly leaving us to watch it depart, I decided to go on a solo break (well, Rhoda and me) in the hope of ensuring they hung on for Katie and Ruth's arrival. Cresting the last rise before the slip, a little bit anaerobic, sock-steamer on full blast, and wondering where I put my Ventolin, I saw the MV Loch Alainn, which looks broadly similar from both ends, some distance from land. Relieved by the realisation that I hadn't seen the tell-tale line of cars coming the other way, I rolled to the terminal, having, as it turned out, 'spent my tokens' for nothing.
As is often the case in the Hebrides, the ferries are the place where you bump into other wheeled travellers, often the same ones in different permutations, to swap tales of what's happened on the road (and sympathise about the direction of the wind) since last you crossed paths. Some of the cyclists we had seen on the ferry to Castlebay were rather shocked by the solid progress we and the girls had made, as were an elderly couple with a motorhome, whose dog the girls had played with on the crossing from Oban. Presently, Katie and Ruth rolled in, showing similarly the effects of needless exertion. Ruth had been pushing especially hard to make the ferry, Mummy noted. Jelly babies and fist bumps all round.
The Sound of Barra ferry is a pretty dour affair, for what is in fairness one of the shorter and more frequent crossings, where motorists can elect to remain in their vehicles. There's an open car deck with a waiting room befitting a tired NHS hospital to the side; a small promenade extending along its roof for tourists and sunny days. Unusually, it affords access to your bikes during the crossing, which is particularly handy for us and something we would be glad of more often! The chance to adjust things, oil chains, swap pannier contents around and set up cameras whilst making forward progress is to be seized with both hands.
Readying ourselves to get off the boat, we were in the invidious position of knowing that we were about to tackle our nemesis from our last visit here - the short, sharp climb from the slip, over the hill to the village and the causeway to South Uist. We decided not to put on an 'ambitious, but rubbish' display of heroic failure for the other tourists, so as we usually do now, we waited for everyone else to hit the beach and get up the road before setting off.
I've been in training for the last few weeks, attempting to ride 10% of Mark Beaumont's mileage as he cycles round the world, and so am rather fitter than I was in 2014. Mark climbed the steepest part of the climb, segmented on Strava, in 59 seconds, when he launched the Hebridean Way. The new trailerbike, and its occupant, even accounting for luggage, are probably a shade lighter and definitely more stable than Thomas Ivor's Mountain Train was, last time - but the gradient still kicks to 22%. In my book, that's sick and wrong on any kind of bike - but especially when you are taking a bike and rider totalling near enough 200kg. I had been having nightmares about having to trudge up this one again ever since we chose this itinerary.
One-in-five. Single track road. No way out.
I stalled and had to walk last time; what Mark shrugged off in less than a minute took me six and a half of them, in an unedifying spectacle of grunting and straining. I wasn't going home this time without having at least tried.
Red mist mode engaged, and having already more than warmed the legs through on the approach, I was resigned to dropping Katie and meeting her at the viewpoint near the top of the climb with the camera already on the tripod ready for a picture. We've not had chance to swap Katie's cassette yet and so she was running a slightly longer gear than me. Without the benefit of training miles and with Ruth unlikely to be able to carry her own weight by the time the climb stiffened, it seemed likely that it would be a 'Mummy walks, Ruth rides' kind of climb, as we'd done on Vatersay.
I laid into it as well as I might have, but ultimately, I'd have needed teeth on the rim of my wheel to have been geared to make it right up, in the seat, with Rhoda as dead weight on the back, and with my heart rate topping 160, only just able to unclip my feet, I had to admit defeat. Tell you what, though, it was close. I walked all of 50 yards, tops. That was as good as a win, in the circumstances - justification for another jelly baby, at least. 6 minutes 34 seconds in 2014; 2:36 this time. Mr Beaumont can hang on to his place on the leaderboard - for now!
Looking back down the hill, Katie was indeed walking, and some way back, with Ruth twiddling away on the rear, but it turned out that this had happened sooner than she'd hoped, because the extra bottle of water we'd strapped to the lids of Ruth's panniers had made a bid for freedom and rolled back down the hill. We swapped war stories, strapped the bottle down again, got the obligatory photograph (the sun being in as bad a place for this as last time, which is, I suppose, logical, since the island hasn't turned on its axis in the interim) and carried on, knowing we'd overcome a hurdle with less bother than we'd anticipated and keen to finish the day in similar style.
Last time we crested that hill, we rolled down the other side and shot through the village, straight over the island and stopped off at the beach by the South Uist causeway; this year, we had business to attend to in the Eriskay community shop, in the way of procuring lunch. We'd been hoping to get some cheap scallops from the seafood company on Barra, but our late departure had sadly killed that plan. We sat outside, eating an eclectic mix of short-dated and thus reduced-price items, until the rain suddenly pitched up, causing us to retreat to a nearby bus shelter to finish our yoghurts. The cycle-tourist's dining room always comes to our rescue at least once per trip!
"If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes" is a common mantra up here, and sure enough, by the time we were ready to go and togged up in our waterproofs, the rain stopped and I was drowning inside my own trousers. Crossing the causeway onto South Uist, we arrived at the junction where the 'Spine road', which runs the length of the Uists and Benbecula, properly begins. Three years ago, this was the most soul-destroying piece of riding we'd done with the children.
Everyone tells you to ride the Hebridean Way South-North, to account for the prevailing winds, but this means that if you meet with nice weather, there's a good prospect of a headwind, because the prevailing wind brings the persisting rain. Pedalling to stand still is purgatory at the best of times but all the more so when you're heading across open moorland on a straight road; after the beautiful beach trip on Eriskay, our only happy memory of South Uist was the moment a lady took pity on us and kindly let us pitch our tent in her garden as night was falling. It really had been a bit grim.
We got quite a shock, then, at the speed (nearly three times as fast) with which we climbed the first hill past the brutal form of the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, and were quite unfazed by the periodically squally weather as the wind propelled us towards Daliburgh and our next Co-op.
Castlebay - Eriskay - Daliburgh - Benbecula - Solas. The spine route is broken up, for us, into the gaps between Co-ops, and working out the resources we need to get from one to the next. They are our primary source of food, and of cash, a commodity one needs more often than we are accustomed to at home these days, in order to contribute to the economy elsewhere on the islands. Sure, there are a few other places to get food in between, notably the Fish, Chips and Petrol station just before Daliburgh, but a Co-op is an event. A moment to stop, take stock and obtain whatever supplies we'll need before the next one. It's like being on the M1 with a toddler and doing a 'bladder audit' on your prospects of reaching Toddington with dry seats, before you've left it too late to dive into Newport Pagnell. Frankly, the consequences of getting it wrong are just as catastrophic. Hell hath no fury like a junior touring cyclist who's ridden all day and just been told you've run out of Stroopwafels.
Coming up next - "I know, but is it socially acceptable to sleep in a graveyard's car park?"
oh i have enjoyed reading and laughing at this account and cant wait for the next intallment. I love the term "cycle-tourists dining room" and i have to confess we have slept on the verge of a graveyard while up in the wilds of Scotland.

Zinc's Rise Shines a Light on Pure-Play Producers and Explorers
With the price of zinc rising, investors are taking a second look at producers and explorers. Most people have no idea what zinc is used for, but it actually is the fourth most produced mineral in the world, trailing only iron, aluminum and copper. Its uses may not appear to be exciting, but they are essential: as a coating on iron and steel to protect them from rusting and as an alloy for creating bronze and brass, for instance. Zinc o
