Maryland forward Ashton Pankey tranferring for family reasons
By Raphielle JohnsonMay 15, 2012, 2:55 PM EDT
As first reported by Inside MD Sports, 6-9 forward Ashton Pankey has decided to leave Maryland for family reasons after two seasons in College Park.
Pankey received a redshirt during his first year at Maryland and played 20.3 minutes per game in 2011-12, averaging 4.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
A native of the Bronx, Pankey's best stretch from a statistical standpoint came in early December, when he posted three straight double-figure scoring outings.
The third game of that stretch, a 17-point, five-rebound outing in Maryland's 65-60 win over Radford on December 23, would be the last time Pankey reached double figures.
Pankey is expected to transfer to a school closer to home, and he would have been looking at a serious logjam in the Maryland front court had he decided to remain a Terrapin.
In addition to returnees James Padgett and Alex Len, head coach Mark Turgeon is adding 2012 signees Shaquille Cleare and Charles Mitchell to the rotation.
The question now is whether or not Pankey will be granted a hardship waiver, thus allowing him to play immediately.
That would leave him with three years of eligibility remaining, but a denial of a waiver request would drop him to two remaining years of eligibility.
Raphielle is also the assistant editor at CollegeHoops.net and can be followed on Twitter at @raphiellej.

Q&A with Chris Darlington (Series 2)
How long have you been an editor? I started as an Assistant Editor in 1994 on a TV series shot in my hometown St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador called The Gullage's. Moved to England in 1995 and started working as an editor with a film marketing company cutting trailers.
What has been the most challenging aspect of editing for you? For me the most challenging aspect of editing is the relationship between Director and Editor. It took me a long time to figure out how to navigate the edit. When and when not to push your own ideas forward. It's always a bit of a dance. Luckily I've worked with some great directors who've made it easy for me.
What project have you felt the most inspired and excited about? It's always the next project for me. I've loved everything I've worked on but always itching to start something new. I'm about to start cutting a documentary about artist Christopher Pratt. I've worked with the director before and we have a great relationship in the suite. Lots of trust between us.
If you weren't an editor what profession do you think you may have taken up and why? Dance has always been something I've been interested in. Still am to this day. I'm very happy where I am now but every once in a while, I wonder what could have been.
If you could sum up editing in 5 words, what would they be? An affinity to the subject.

As a WWE Hall Of Famer, Diamond Dallas Page is known to many millions of people around the world as a legendary professional wrestler.
But rather than spending the rest of his post-wrestling life coasting on his wrestling-related accolades, including being a multi-time world champion, Page decided to take a professional path that practically no one could have seen coming: creating a fitness system known as "DDP YOGA."
While DDP YOGA does have the word "yoga" in its title, DDPY is unlike any other fitness system you will ever encounter. The program combines yoga poses and calisthenics with physical therapy principles and is exactly what Page himself utilized to get his body healed so he could get back into the ring in the late 1990s.
Based on an interactive app -- think Netflix but with workouts, cooking programs, motivational talks, and a points-based rewards system -- DDPY lets users of any age, skill level or fitness capacity do its workouts from anywhere.
Much like his wrestling career -- which began at the age of 35 -- finding success with DDP YOGA was by no means an immediate success for Diamond Dallas Page. It not only took years for DDPY to find an audience, but Page spent just about all of his savings from his wrestling career before any of his hefty investment started coming back to him.
Fortunately, nowadays, it is totally normal to hear that both celebrities (e.g. Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Nita Strauss, Chris Jericho, A.J. Styles, Gabriel Iglesias, Darius Rucker) and everyday folks are doing DDPY.
Positively Unstoppable: The Art Of Owning It is the new book by Diamond Dallas Page. Part-memoir and part-inspirational tale, it ought to have you both laughing and learning as you read it.
It is intended to give you the know-how to "own it", whatever it is to you, on a permanent basis. I spoke to Page about this and more during our December 2018 phone chat, and highlights from that interview are below.
More on Diamond Dallas Page and DDP YOGA -- including live workshops, success stories and a link to purchase Positively Unstoppable -- can be found at www.ddpyoganow.com.
I bought another home and I was going to rent it out... People can stay in the Jake 'The Snake' inn suite. We call it a 'suite' because every room's got its own bathroom. You can stay in the Razor Ramon suite, or the DDP suite, which is really sweet. (laughs)"
People really don't want to be told they want to be told to stop smoking by a doctor who's got a cigarette in his mouth. They don't want to be told to stop drinking by someone who's an addict, who's getting f**ked up all the time.
They want to be around somebody who's already done it and continues to do it. So I walk the talk. Many people, as you know, do not. But I do. I don't really teach anybody or do anything that I do myself on a daily basis."
[A lot of people] surround themselves around negative people. They have a job that they hate, a relationship [they hate] or whatever, and they surround themselves with negative people. It's tough to get out of that rut.
A lot of people don't believe they can. As you know the beginning of the book says, 'What would you do if you knew your success was guaranteed? What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?' So that's how I live my life."
"Yeah I do. I don't think that motivation hits. I think inspiration is the key. To motivate 'c'mon you can do this' isn't what I'm doing. I'm teaching everybody that they've all got the spark inside of them to inspire themselves.
I'm showing them how they can do it for themselves. 'Motivational speaker' wouldn't work for me, yet people call me that all the time. I'm not offended by it at all because I do motivate people, but it's not really what I do.
So the book is set up to inspire someone that will be inspired within themselves, because each one of us in our personal lives and our professional lives, we're all constantly hit with one adversity after another, most of which we have no control over.
But the one thing we do have control over when we take control of it, is our mindset. That's not motivation, that's changing the inner-voice, the story you tell yourself. That's what that is, that's not motivation.
I'm teaching people how to inspire themselves. That's what 'owning it' is. Positively Unstoppable: The Art Of Owning It. Like what is 'it?' 'It' is whatever the hell you want it to be.
You might be on your way to getting it, but you've got to put the work in, and most people, they don't know how to put the work in. I think this is kind of like a blueprint for that.


They can also be programmed in Python using the use the EdPy web app.
Some time in the next few weeks, though, this programming menu will be extended by one, when Edison also gets its own block based programming app. EdBlocks is its name, and it is specifically aimed at younger users. I was pleased to see, too, that the firmware enhancements that had previously been applied only to version 2 of the robot were also going to be made available for version 1. This was potentially great news, as it meant that I could use EdPy with all my Edisons.
So off I went to the web site to upgrade my three V1 Edisons that have been a bit neglected since the V2s came out. Sadly, though it wasn't to be. The first part of the upgrade asks you to type in the serial number of the robot, and when I did, I was told that actually these particular Edisons weren't compatible with the upgrades after all. Ho hum, never mind.
Overall, though, having this many programming choices for a robot that basically costs £30 is brilliant. Maybe I'll go and spend that 10% off voucher I got when I tried the upgrade after all.

Patek Philippe Chimes in the Holidays with New Ref. 5750 "Advanced Research" Minute Repeater
When Patek Philippe releases a watch with "Advanced Research" in its moniker, you can be well assured that it will be something special in both its outward aesthetics and its inner technology. The most recent example was in 2017, when the Swiss high-horology maison released the Aquanaut Travel Time 5650G, the first timepiece equipped with the new Spiromax balance spring as well as a groundbreaking "compliant" time-setting device. This year, Patek Philippe, through the labor of its top-notch R&D division, has applied an ingenious new innovation to a chiming watch, a grand complication that has been one of its historical specialties. Here is a closer look at the Ref. 5750P "Advanced Research" Minute Repeater.
The "Advanced Research' Minute Repeater is limited to 15 pieces in platinum.
The essence of Patek's technical accomplishment in this very limited timepiece (just 15 pieces) is that it features a method of amplifying the volume of the repeater's time strike in a purely mechanical manner while simultaneously preserving the acoustic quality and doing so while maintaining the smallest possible dimensions. A module added to the bridge side of the movement works like a mechanical loudspeaker, using a triple-patented system with an ultra-thin oscillating sapphire wafer rather than the traditional vibrating membrane. This angular motion of this rigid, free-moving wafer produces a better propagation of sound in the confined dimensions of a watch case, while its transparent sapphire construction preserves a clear view of the movement through an exhibition caseback.
Several patents were filed for the "fortissimo" sound propagation module.
The minute repeater gongs are connected to the wafer by a steel sound lever that resembles a tuning fork on its other end. The hammers strike the gongs, the gongs transmit their oscillations to the sound lever, the lever amplifies them and transfers them to the wafer, which amplifies them even further by exciting the air layers above and below the sapphire crystal for a noticeably louder chiming sound. This system (which Patek Philippe refers to as "fortissimo") helps propagate the sound waves on all sides of the watch case, which is made of platinum, a precious metal known for presenting the greatest acoustic challenge for a minute repeater watch. The fortissimo module solves the challenge with its use of an insulation rim made of a high-tech composite material that uncouples the amplifier from the movement; after the sound is routed from lever to wafer, it propagates through four narrow openings in a titanium ring at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock and exits through a narrow slot between the caseback and caseband — ensuring that the case material chosen does not influence the sound quality. Furthermore, the fortissimo module allows the watch's chimes to be heard at a six-fold larger distance than other repeaters — without sacrificing, Patek promises, the "harmonic quality and acoustic richness" for which its chiming watches are renowned.
The movement's platinum micro-rotor features the same motif as the dial.
The movement, Caliber R 27 PS, also replaces the steel minute repeater hammers of previous versions with new ones made of platinum, which provide a softer strike without reducing the rich resonance of the sound produced. The movement also uses platinum for the microrotor that winds the watch, replacing previous microrotors in gold; the metal's greater density allows for the same winding power but a thinner design and thus a greater overall thinness for the caliber and, accordingly the case: at 40 mm in 950 platinum, the elegantly rounded case is just 11.1 mm high, just .57 mm thicker than Patek Philippe's Ref. 5178 minute repeater with cathedral gongs.
The case is 40 mm in diameter and 11.1 mm thick.
The elaborately constructed, five-part dial has an openworked design inspired by spoked wheels on vintage automobiles, with a latticework motif underpinned by a snailed black background. The pattern is repeated on the small seconds disk at 6 o'clock, which uses a small marker rather than a conventional hand to trace the passing seconds as the disk spins. A pair of white-gold Dauphine hands indicate the time on kite-shaped hour markers in blackened white gold.
The pattern on the dial and seconds hand is drawn from classic car wheels.
The rear side of the case offers through its sapphire window a view of the movement, including key elements like the hammers and gongs of the repeater and the tuning-fork-like sound lever, as well as the centrifugal governor with its pierced Calatrava cross emblem, a historical symbol of Patek Philippe. Maintaining a power reserve between 43 and 46 hours, the movement features other patented devices emerging from previous Advanced Research projects, including a Gyromax balance spring in Silinvar. Its platinum microrotor provides one more glimpse of the dial's crisscrossing pattern, created with a special laser light-absorbing surface texturing technique. All 15 pieces of the Ref. 5750 "Advanced Research" Minute Repeater are mounted on a shiny orange alligator strap with black contrast stitching and a platinum folding clasp. The price is on request.
The watch is delivered on a shiny orange leather strap.

Great watch. Silly to only make 15.
Jim Berger December 25, 2021
This watch might be a technical marvel, but it's almost impossible to quickly make out the hands from the dial.
Gerry Dimatos December 21, 2021
I'm assuming at a price of $500K + only a few will be able to afford one, let alone get their hands in one of 15 watches….

ONE Saturday night last year, 11 people went looking for love. Like countless speed daters before them, they met in a room draped with curtains, the lights on low. In one hand they held traditional glasses of bubbly, but in the other were sheets of paper they had filled with their personal data.
This twist on speed-dating was part of an experiment run by a team at Newcastle University in the UK. They wanted to know what would happen in a world where instead of vetting potential dates by their artfully posed selfies or carefully crafted dating-site profiles, we looked at data gathered by their computers and phones. As use of data-gathering devices increases, it's a world that's just round the corner. The team calls it "metadating".
The team recruited their speed daters on social media and via posters around their university campus. A week before the event, the participants were sent a form to fill out. It asked for a host of specific numbers: shoe size, the farthest distance they had travelled from home, the earliest and latest times of day they had sent an email in the past month, their heart rate as they filled out the form. It also left blank spaces for people to add whatever data they wanted.
Seven men and four women took part. To kick off the evening, they spent time looking over one another's anonymised data profiles, discussing who they might like in groups. The event then took the form of traditional speed-dating, with four minutes for pairs to get to know each other.
The researchers listened as people described themselves using the "language of data". They read out their numbers, compared stats and even complimented one another on their data. Where people had been allowed to list whatever they liked, they had picked very different types of information to portray themselves.
One scrupulously graphed their Fitbit steps. Another recorded what they ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Others chose to be playful. One drew a pie chart of the different types of furniture in their house. Someone added: "Miles run this week: 0". The team will present a review of the project next month at the Computer-Human Interaction conference in San Jose, California.
So much of our data is in the hands of large companies that it can make people feel powerless, says Jessa Lingel at the University of Pennsylvania. Elsden's event flips that on its head. "Offering a way for people to feel like they have some control, or can be creative or thoughtful about the data they're producing, is really important," Lingel says.
She also thinks metadating plays with an idea we have about what romance in the future might be like. Data-driven algorithms already match people on dating sites like OkCupid. Other dating start-ups like Genepartner try to push the envelope by matching people according to genetics.
It's not hard to envision a site that digests numbers from your self-tracking apps and search history, then spits out people it thinks you might be attracted to.
But Elsden doesn't think metadating should replace popular dating apps. "We're not suggesting your ideal match would be somebody who gets up at the same time," he says. He thinks it might open the door to a new sort of social media – an "Instagram for data" that lets you collect your stats, manage them with editing tools or filters and share them with your friends.
Still, at least one couple hit it off swapping stats that Saturday in Newcastle. As far as Elsden is aware, they're still together.

Disciplines of Shooting
CURA undertakes two disciplines of full bore shooting: Target rifle and Match rifle. Similar skills are needed for both but there are significant differences as well. Some basic shooting notes are to be found on the CUSBC website.
The range safety briefing may be found here.
Target Rifle (TR) evolved from Service Rifle (SR) shooting in the late '60s. Previously the No. 4 Service Rifle was used with sights either adjustable or not adjustable for windage. Modern target rifles are extremely accurate, and have sights which are fully adjustable for elevation and windage. To 'level the playing field' as much as possible without stifling progress, the rifle, or all its component parts, must be 'readily available in quantity'. TR involves prone single shot precision shooting using aperture iron sights at 'round bull' targets at distances from 300 to 1000 yards
Match Rifle (MR) has long been regarded as a premier discipline, and the Elcho, first shot in 1862, is one of the oldest international team matches in any sport. Like Target Rifle it is usually fired with the 7.62mm cartridge, but at longer distances from 1000 to 1200 yards. Experimentation and innovation have always played an important part in the discipline. Telescopic sights and handloaded ammunition are used, and the specification for rifles and the firing positions allowed are more open. Whilst the majority of shooters shoot prone, a few adopt the 'supine' position, reclining on their backs with feet pointing towards the target!
Annual Activities
Our season begins with our annual training week at Bisley during the Easter Holiday, which all new members must attend to learn the important safety aspects of full-bore shooting. This is a great opportunity for new shooters to gain valuable experience in full bore shooting. As with nearly all our shoots, this is held at Bisley Camp – home of full-bore shooting – in Surrey. Living in a clubhouse on camp, it is a fantastic opportunity to receive first-class coaching from international shots, as well as to socialise with the rest of the full-bore community (this is highly important!) We will try to pack loads of shooting, many beers and some curries into these few days.
Throughout the Easter holidays and the summer term, we have numerous weekend matches against many different clubs and countries. During the summer vacation we enter the National Rifle Association Imperial Meeting. This is the highlight of the year, and includes dozens of competitions, both team and individual. These competitions are for all standards. In the past we have had many members represent their countries in national matches. It is also during this period that the Match Rifle (MR) and Target Rifle (TR) Varsity matches, the Humphry and the Chancellors', are held.


The construction industry is the second largest industry in India after agriculture. It accounts for about 11% of India�s GDP. It makes significant contribution to the national economy and provides employment to large number of people.

The Juke has just finished playing Georgia White doing "Trouble in Mind", one of the best versions of this song I have ever heard, and it reminds me that I've been meaning to post about this singer who's rarely, if ever, been mentioned in the Weenie forum. She is mostly new to me, with two of her complete recorded works on Document just recently added to the Juke, and I have to say she has very quickly become on of my favourite female blues singers. She was popular in her day judging from her recorded output but you don't see her name mentioned much anywhere anymore as far as I know. I in fact know very little about her, though believe she accompanied herself on piano for her early sessions at least. She does a great Dupree Blues, and some of you may know her from the bawdy song, Hot Nuts. Not much more to say than that since I know nothing else (am willing to be enlightened), but check her out. She is tremendous.
Drove this for 25 years!
Re: Georgia White
Couldn't agree more... I have a couple of the document cd's and have been listening to her for ages... it's Ikey Robinson on guitar that makes it, I believe he was a banjo player first so to speak. I think Lonnie Johnson did some backings as well from memory.
(That's enough of that. Ed)
Thanks for bringing up Georgia White, Uncle Bud. I've been meaning to mention her in the "Favorite Singers" thread for ages, but have never gotten around to it. I don't know much more about her than you do. She was born in 1903 just outside of Macon, Georgia, moved to Chicago at some point in the 1920s. She worked at first with various bands, including Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra, with whom she cut her first record, a version of "When You're Smiling". She then worked on her own in the Chicago clubs. She started her recording career in earnest in 1935, and from then through the start of the war she was apparently Decca's best selling female "race" artist. The piano on her records was usually played either by herself or by Richard M. Jones. There's some disagreement between the discographies on the Document disks and those in Blues And Gospel Records, but her guitar accompanists included Ikey Robinson, Lonnie Johnson, Teddy Bunn, and possibly Les Paul, Charlie McCoy, and Willie B. James - a pretty impressive lineup. She was often accompanied on bass by John Lindsay. He was either an unusually powerful bass player or the Decca engineers took a lot of care when recording him, as his bass parts really stand out on a lot of Georgia's records, and they're excellent - check out "Black Rider" for an example. World War II ended Georgia White's recording career, which is surprising considering her talent, her pre-war popularity, and the fact that she stayed in the music business at least through 1950. In 1949 she worked in Big Bill Broonzy's band, then in 1950 co-led an all-female band "in a small town just east of Chicago", then she disappears from the history books, or at least the books I've seen.
One thing that impresses me about Georgia White is her versatility. She could belt out a tune like a blues shouter from the 1920s, but she could also croon, and could do a pretty convincing growl when she felt like it. She could sell a pop love song and a racy number like "Hot Nuts" equally well. And she got the opportunity to record a fairly broad repertoire, which is unusual for a Chicago artist stuck in the "race" pigeonhole in the late 1930s. She's one of my favorites.
Thanks for the info, guys. Here's the entry from the All Music Guide, which doesn't say much more:
Barrelhouse blues vocalist Georgia White recorded mildly risqu? blues songs from the mid-30s through the early '40s including "I'll Keep Sitting on It," "Take Me for a Buggy Ride," "Mama Knows What Papa Wants When Papa's Feeling Blue," and "Hot Nuts." She reportedly moved to Chicago in the 1920s and began working as a singer in the nightclubs during the late '20s. Georgia White first recorded in May 1930 for the Vocalion label with Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra when she sang just one song, "When You're Smiling, the Whole World Smiles With You." White didn't return to the studios until 1935, but recorded regularly from then on through the early '40s for the Decca label. In 1935, she also recorded a couple of songs, including "Your Worries Ain't Like Mine," under the alias Georgia Lawson. From her first sessions until the late '30s, White was accompanied by pianist Richard Jones. The late '30s found White accompanied by blues guitarist Lonnie Johnson. In the late '40s, Georgia White formed an all-women band. She also worked with Big Bill Broonzy from 1949-50, and returned to singing in the clubs during the 1950s. Georgia White's last known public performance was in 1959, after which she retired from the music business. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide

Another great singer someone forgot to tell that she should only sing in her own voice, thankfully.-G-

Rosetta Reitz produced a wonderful GW compilation LP in 1982. The gatefold sleeve of which, imho, has one of the best pieces of writing on White I've yet read. It was drawn from a chapter of her proposed book Blues Women 1920-1950, which never came to fruition yet apparently - at the age of 82 - is still working on it! Two years later, the magazine Whiskey, Women And... reprinted the article in full, but should anybody be interested the gatefold text it's scanable.
I'd only ever heard her "Blues Ain't Nothing But" on a 1964 budget British Ace Of Hearts compilation (Out Came The Blues). Then I read Paul Oliver's short entry on her in Jazz On Record: A Critical Guide to The First 60 Years (1968). Apart from the AoH LP Paul also cited a French 10 incher. T-h-a-t I just had to hear. A visit to Dave Carey's Swing Shop in Streatham, South London to find that he still had stocks from 8 years previous.

Yes the brain child of Decca label product manager Geoff Milne. Nobody was more surprised than Geoff when Out Came The Blues managed to go straight in at 19 of the UK pop top 20 LP chart week ending 15 May 1964. Mind you it soon dropped in to obscurity again, but it meant that Decca "kept the faith" with AoH a lot longer than they might normally have done. Just think Georgia White, Memphis Minnie, Trixie Smith, Kokomo Arnold, Peetie Wheastraw, Jesse James and all others present on the LP in the UK pop top 20? And the LP was only a straight UK release of an American Decca album compiled by Stanley Dance and Yannick Bruynoghe. There was a volume two that Geoff compiled in 1966 but all a bit too late to cash in on "the boom", the US parent company didn't even bother.
Prof Scratchy
Out Came the Blues Vols 1 and 2 - along with Lonnie and Eddie's Blue Guitars and Blind Blake - Blues in Chicago, this was my record collection in 1967 or thereabouts. I still go back to all these albums regularly. Returning to Georgia White - there are three Document CDs available on emusic and they're all superb. Apart form the great voice, piano and bass, she just somehow managed to attract to all her sessions the best guitar players. There just isn't a dud track anywhere. Highly recommended!
Yes, I bought my Out Came the Blues when first issued and I guess they were responsible for my real foray into counry\prewar blues which I am happily still listening to today
Just thought I'd mention that I took Bunker Hill up on his offer to supply a scan of Rosetta Reitz's Georgia White liner notes, and that, having read them, I'd recommend them to anyone else interested in Ms. White. The notes really are the best writing on Georgia White that you'll ever read, though there's unfortunately not much competition. There's a good summation of the known facts of White's life (though apparently about 50% of the "facts" come from the notoriously unreliable Big Bill Broonzy, so do we really know as much as we think we do?), and then a perceptive and sympathetic discussion of 16 of White's songs. At 5,000 words, it's a somewhat lengthy but definitely worthwhile read.
And just thought I'd mention that I love to read the British Weenies reminiscing about the early LPs that led them to the blues. Over on this side of the Atlantic, it was a whole different set of records that my friends and I discovered - things on the OJL and Blues Classics labels and those early Yazoos - but your comments remind me of the excitement of discovery that we had as we found those LPs, and 35 - 40 years later the special place those records hold for us is undoubtedly the same.
That's really neat you brought up Georgia White.
I discovered her just this year. I love the way she does "The blues ain't nothin but a woman cryin for her man...."
The guitar playing on her songs is noticeble (even for a non-guitar playing person)...On "Hellish Ways" it sorta sounds like that could be Les Paul??. That's fun to know that Lonnie Johnson and big Bill Broonzy played on some of those songs.
thanks for all the interesting notes

Risk & Economy » Regulation » MiFID II: what it means for financial leaders
MiFID II: what it means for financial leaders
The second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) went live today (3 January 2018). But what does it mean for financial leaders, especially those in non-financial institutions? Austin Clark reviews
by Austin Clark - January 3, 2018
In a nutshell, MiFID II overhauls Europe's trading landscape, tightening the organisational requirements of investment firms and trading venues, and introducing extensive changes to reporting around transactions and transparency requirements. These new requirements will cover many organisations operating in and around financial services that were previously exempt from legislation.
The regulation expands the scope of transaction reporting covering all financial instruments beyond solely focusing on equities, and changes the nature of reporting for those previously covered. For example, under MiFID II, operating organised trading facilities (OTFs) will be a regulated activity. While regulated markets and multilateral trading facilities (MTFs) are already regulated, OTFs have not hitherto been regulated.
An OTF is a multilateral discretionary trading platform. Unlike MTFs, the operator of an OTF has discretion when matching orders.
The Financial Conduct Authority has helpfully pulled the legislation together in one place if you would like to read more.
Does it affect me?
Are you ready for MiFID II?
As the implementation date for MiFID II fast approaches, we take a look at who is affected and what options there are for businesses to remain compliant
What MiFID II means for UK business
A look at the reasons why MiFID II was introduced and how Brexit will affect the application of the legislation in the UK
MiFID II - The start of the race, not the end
Getting compliance ready should be viewed as a strategic move that will affect and benefit the business. It is the start of the race, not the end
While much of the new legislation is aimed squarely at financial institutions, MiFID II will have far-reaching implications for many organisations — both financial and non-financial — with the goal of rendering financial markets more secure, robust, efficient and transparent.
MiFID II will regulate the use of financial instruments (including shares, bonds and derivatives) by companies that trade them and the venues where such instruments are traded. This means that non-financial companies may not feel like they have to actively do much about MiFID II, but the legislation will have a ripple effect. Those ripples include:
Non-financial organisations will be classified by financial institutions – and this classification will affect the products that can be offered to them. This could affect, for example, a corporate's pension fund provisioning, because their classification will determine what kinds of products and services they can consume.
Over-reporting will not be tolerated
AutoRek's Marc McCarthy, writing in Bobsguide, said that 'over-reporting' will no longer be tolerated – meaning firms must ensure they are carefully vetting the trade data they present to auditors. McCarthy also advises firms to ensure the data management process is both automated and runs on an adequate system with bespoke software. He advises firms to limit the number of systems used, consider outsourcing the process, and use a data management system.
Recording communications
The updated regulations mean that many companies, especially smaller organisations that fell outside of the original legislation, will now be required to adopt new procedures for recording communications.
More information on what this means and how compliance can be achieved can be found here.
A new approach to risk management?
MiFID II has been written to create a safer environment in which privately-traded derivative instruments are moved onto electronic platforms, improving transparency in the process. This could result in companies making adjustments to their risk management approach to using derivatives instruments for hedging purposes.
Greater choice
The increased transparency could, according to some media reports, ensure EU financial markets keep up with US markets. That could give corporate treasurers more choice of which markets to access.
Research costs
MiFID II requires all research consumed by an asset manager to be paid for in explicit terms, rather than bundled as part of the brokerage commission. Asset managers will need to decide whether they are prepared to absorb the additional cost of research or whether this will be passed on to corporates. This will most likely impact corporate decision-making processes when it comes to choosing providers.
No LEI, no trade
Jan Hanika, financial services expert at PA Consulting Group, points out that the regulation requires all entities trading in reportable financial instruments to have a valid Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) that is renewed on a timely basis. This is valid for all financial instruments that have either been traded or have an underlying asset traded on a trading venue.
The LEI must be obtained from an official issuer but, because many participants have not yet registered for a valid LEI, there will likely be a large volume of last-minute registrations, which could delay the process to obtain a valid LEI. This could potentially result in some firms not being able to trade on behalf of a client who is eligible for a LEI and does not have one.
Pension implications
Sebastian Reger, partner at specialist pension firm Sackers, commented: "While much of MiFID II will not have a direct impact on pension scheme trustees, the new rules for brokers and asset managers may affect UK pension schemes' current contractual relationships."
Action points for trustees to consider, some of which are based on points made above include:
LEI Numbers –Most pension schemes are required to obtain an LEI by 3 January 2018. As mentioned above, without one, the scheme's managers will be unable to execute trades on behalf of the scheme.
Charging structures –A discussion about fees is something many trustees won't want to confront. However, they should be considering whether, because of the unbundling of charges, their managers will be looking to update charging structures. Schemes should be asking how research will be paid for in the future.
Conflicts and best execution –MiFID II requires managers to review and update their policies on best execution and conflicts of interest. The focus will shift away from simply disclosing their approach to having to show that best execution was achieved. Best execution is not just about getting the best price – a number of other factors can be taken into account. Trustees should understand these factors and hold their managers to account. This is a welcome development for investors as they will get further clarity on how managers view and handle best execution and conflicts of interest. However, it does mean that more time will be needed to review these policies in future.
Reporting requirements –Discussions with managers should also include asking them about the new reporting requirements and how these will be covered in any agreement they have.
Market infrastructure –Schemes should be asking managers how the changes to the market infrastructure could impact the mandate of their scheme.
Reger continued: "The most important message for trustees is to get familiar with the changes. Even though schemes won't be directly affected, this is all about being alert to the indirect positive and negative consequences.
"While some of the changes offer an opportunity to push for greater reporting transparency from asset managers, it will be up to each individual pension scheme to decide how far they want to take it."

Q: Supporting ios 5 in monotouch applications I have an application with monotouch ios (iphone/ipad application). in my project option I target ios 6.
now when I want to download my application with a device that run ios 5 itune not allow.
If I change the target version to the 5, Does my app supports ios 6 and 6.1 yet?
Do I need to change my codes to support both of them?

A: If you target iOS 5 in MonoTouch, your app will work on both iOS 5 and iOS 6 devices. In general, nothing special should be done to support both iOS 5 and iOS 6. Keep in mind though, that some APIs are iOS 6 only, such as the deep Facebook integration. So don't worry much about your code, just make sure that you test your app on devices with different iOS versions.

Any number of players take turns rolling up to five dice, picking and choosing which of the five to keep and which to reroll in an attempt to create sequences and score points.
Each player rolls the five dice to determine who goes first (highest total goes first). On your turn you may roll up to three times, and you may pick and choose which dice you wish to reroll after the initial roll. You may interrupt and end your turn at any time before the third roll, but you must fill in a box on your score card: with either a zero, or, if your dice match a specific sequence worth points, you may write that in instead of a zero. You may fill in any single box you wish and use any sequence of dice you wish that are shown on your final roll.
Once one player has finished their turn by marking something on their score card, the next player begins their turn. This continues until all players have filled in all 13 boxes on their score card and a final point tally is taken, with the highest score revealing the winner.
Players earn an additional 35 point bonus points if they have at least 63 points total in the above categories.
If you've already scored a Yahtzee you score an additional 100 points for each Yahtzee beyond the first and apply the Joker Rules.
If you zeroed out your Yahtzee then only the Joker Rules apply; you must fill in a slot on your scorecard starting with the upper section first.
Joker rules are a special scoring exception for additional Yahtzees that cannot score normally due to the Yahtzee already being zeroed out or scored.

Rite, Flesh, and Stone
The Matter of Death in Contemporary Spanish Culture
Edited by Antonio Córdoba and Daniel García-Donoso
346 Pages, 6in x 9in, 21 b&w illustrations
Forensic science provides information and data behind the circumstances of a particular death, but it is culture that provides death with meaning. With this in mind, Rite, Flesh, and Stone proposes cultural matters of death as its structuring principle, operating as frames of the expression of mortality within a distinct set of coordinates. The chapters offer original approaches to how human remains are handled in the embodied rituals and social performances of contemporary funeral rites of all kinds; furthermore, they explore how dying flesh and corpses are processed by means of biopolitical technologies and the ethics of (self-)care, and how the vibrant and breathing materiality of the living is transformed into stone and analogous kinds of tangible, empirical presence that engender new cartographies of memory. Each coming from a specific disciplinary perspective, authors in this volume problematize conventional ideas about the place of death in contemporary Western societies and cultures using Spain as a case study.
Materials analyzed here—ranging from cinematic and literary fictions, to historical archives and anthropological and ethnographic sources—make explicit a dynamic scenario where actors embody a variety of positions toward death and dying, the political production of mortality, and the commemoration of the dead. Ultimately, the goal of this volume is to chart the complex network in which the disenchantment of death and its reenchantment coexist, and biopolitical control over secularized bodies overlaps with new avatars of the religious and non-theistic desires for memorialization and transcendence.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a mathematical model of the rabbit atrial myocyte and have used it in an examination of the ionic basis of the atrial action potential. Available biophysical data have been incorporated into the model to quantify the specific ultrastructural morphology, intracellular ion buffering, and time- and voltage-dependent currents and transport mechanisms of the rabbit atrial cell. When possible, mathematical expressions describing ionic currents identified in rabbit atrium are based on whole cell voltage-clamp data from enzymatically isolated rabbit atrial myocytes. This membrane model is coupled to equations describing Na+, K+, and Ca2+ homeostasis, including the uptake and release of Ca2+ by the sarcoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ buffering. The resulting formulation can accurately simulate the whole cell voltage-clamp data on which it is based and provides fits to a family of rabbit atrial cell action potentials obtained at 35 degrees C over a range of stimulus rates (0.2-3.0 Hz). The model is utilized to provide a qualitative prediction of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration transient during the action potential and to illustrate the interactions between membrane currents that underlie repolarization in the rabbit atrial myocyte.

A huge number of churches reside in Dorset, many of which are either located in Poole or are just a short drive away. One of the most central is St. James Church, which stands on Thames Street and is within strolling distance of the Waterfront Museum and Poole's Quayside.
St. James is especially historic and dates back to 1821, although this particular spot is known to have been home to churches since the late 12th century. It is worth stepping inside to admire the various nautical features, which include tall masts from old sailing ships - now functioning as wooden pillars, as well as images of seashells and dolphins - remembering the town's strong fishing heritage.

Amy Raymond, VP of Rev Cycle
Why Revenue Cycle Automation is Now Mission Critical for Healthcare Delivery
COVID-19 has pushed healthcare as a whole to the limit. But, it's also highlighted the increasing importance of automation in the healthcare revenue cycle.
COVID-19 has shown the cracks in what was once perceived as a stable approach to healthcare by many in the U.S. In a world with COVID-19, hospitals are losing millions each month, margins are down, and employees are leaving en masse. Something has to change, and automation aims to provide that change. But, it's not as simple as pulling an automation vendor off the shelf.
Charting a Path To Automation
Automation Hype
The Expert-in-the-loop Future Awaits
For healthcare leaders across the country, the early spring 2020 headlines have made for uneasy reading:
"Nation's Hospitals Losing About $50B A Month Fighting Pandemic" (1)
"COVID-19 Pushes Median Hospital Operating Margins Down 150%" (2)
"Hospitals Struggle to Restart Lucrative Elective Care After Coronavirus Shutdowns" (3)
Yet even this steady drumbeat of sobering data points doesn't adequately capture the scale of COVID-19's impact in healthcare. To fully appreciate the magnitude of the situation, it helps to step back and consider the larger picture, though the result is no less disquieting.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, reduced spending on healthcare made up nearly half of the 1.2% quarter-on-quarter decline in GDP in the first three months of 2020 (4). Healthcare — so often the poster child of "recession-proof" economic resiliency — is at a crossroads.
Though the pandemic will likely drive broad and dramatic changes across the industry, one obvious focal point will be the administrative complexity associated with the revenue cycle. Long a performance improvement target, the hospital revenue cycle has benefited tremendously from the admirable work of operational leaders and frontline staff over the last two decades.
But, even prior to COVID-19, investments in better performance were yielding diminishing returns. Key metrics like A/R days and cost to collect were all stagnating or worsening well before the opening blows of the coronavirus shock. Revenue cycle leaders face the unenviable challenge of having to continue these efforts amidst the ongoing uncertainty of a once-in-a-generation global crisis.
Automation looms with the potential to help the revenue cycle overcome this landscape and more.
It is against the aforementioned backdrop that revenue cycle leaders must choose a strategic direction. Military historians often note that "generals are always ready to fight the last war." As conditions, tactics, and technology change, this human tendency to prepare for the past results in missed opportunities at best, spectacular failures at worst. Thoughtful operators must consider three critical questions as they plot a path toward implementing automation and creating a new type or revenue cycle department.
#1) How Do I Develop Staffing Flexibility To Accommodate Ongoing Volatility & Uncertainty?
Revenue cycle leaders will continue to face unpredictable work volumes across the next 12 to 18 months as patients and procedures return in waves. These surges will likely be interrupted by localized outbreaks of the virus as social distancing guidelines ease. Longer term, we may continue to cycle between the "hammer" (lockdowns) and the "dance" (gradual attempts at normalcy) until viable treatments or a vaccine are discovered(5) For reference, the fastest path from the collection of viral samples to an approved vaccine was for the mumps — a process that took four years (6).
Given this volatile environment, traditional staffing approaches will invariably leave revenue cycle organizations either understaffed or overstaffed. To meet the moment, leaders will need to think critically about where to deploy staff versus where to implement technology. Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are obvious candidates for the latter category; leveraging both will be critical in order to quickly scale output up or down as conditions demand (to say nothing of freeing human talent to focus on the most complex and valuable tasks).
#2) How Do I "Harden" Operations To Ensure Business Continuity During Crisis Events?
Leaders everywhere are adapting their organizations to make them far more robust when faced with crisis events like COVID-19. Caught unprepared by the current pandemic, many are now focused on proactively securing tools and resources that can perform continuously regardless of external shocks. This approach isn't simply about preserving productivity; in a crisis, operators should be devoting their attention to the larger problem, not scrambling to keep the lights on.
Robots manufacturing widgets in a factory may leap to mind when we talk about automation, but today's healthcare revenue cycle is both more complex and more dynamic. Put more simply: it's hard, and it's always changing. True automation provides an operational fail-safe during a crisis, not another problem to manage.
#3) How Do I Mitigate Financial Risk For My Health System By Fundamentally Restructuring My Operating Costs?
As the ranks of unemployed Americans approaches 40M (at this writing), health systems are preparing for a significant (and likely unfavorable) shift in payer mix. As of May 2020, the self-pay payer mix has increased by 8.4% nationally(7). This transformation of the reimbursement landscape will accelerate the collapse of the commercial insurance cross-subsidy and intensify existing efforts to not simply reduce, but dramatically restructure operating costs. Attempts to stave off hard decisions using either investment income (which made up nearly half of hospital net margin over the last two years (8) or M&A will be, at the very least, more complicated and fragile than in recent memory. Healthcare leaders must address their operational inefficiencies, and quickly.
Again, automation and AI hold great promise for the hospital revenue cycle, but only if vendors can deliver flexible and robust automation based on shared value. Too often, hospitals and health systems have found themselves investing in technology based on delivery of the product versus delivery of the promised outcome. Don't buy the bot, buy the result.
Savvy readers will greet Automation and AI with raised eyebrows, and with good reason. According to Google Trends, the term "artificial intelligence" hit peak popularity in late January 2018, and the healthcare industry is now awash with vendors who have effectively reduced AI to a marketing buzzword.
Though the temptation to write off these technologies as hype can be strong, it must be resisted. Healthcare and revenue cycle leaders are climbing the educational curve regarding automation, AI, and machine learning, but they also have one (perhaps surprising) ace to play when faced with hype vs. reality: last mover advantage. Healthcare is a notoriously slow adopter, and while this characteristic is often cited as an industry weakness, it can be a strength.
We can learn from the mistakes of our out-of-industry brethren (and sistren!), especially when it comes to the early iterations of automation. Older technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) have been pushed beyond their intended capabilities, resulting in inflexible and brittle automation that is hard to scale and expensive to maintain.
At the end of the day, healthcare's greatest enemy isn't overhyped technology. It's organizational inertia. In some ways, this tendency to wait makes sense. But in a world experiencing rapid, significant, and lasting change, doing nothing starts to look paralytic instead of conservative.
We absolutely need human talent, especially working in conjunction with automation. This human-in-the-loop or expert-in-the-loop approach will allow automation and humans to perform at their best. But, we also need humans focused on the highest-value work. And we need to remember that progress has always been driven by people embracing new tools that expand and extend our capabilities, whether that tool is a dusty bicycle or the latest tablet. We ignore these tools at our peril.

According to social media reports, a woman lost 5 children in the school building that collapsed in Ita-Faji, Lagos Island earlier today.
We earlier reported that over 100 pupils are feared dead, after a school building collapsed moments earlier in at Itafaji, Lagos Island, Lagos State.
Tragedy struck, as the three storey building housing a school collapsed, killing and trapping many.
As at the time of filing this report, many students are being rushed to the General hospital, Marina, while parents are trooping there to search for their children.
Every parent's worst nightmare- to receive a call that your child has been harmed in anyway.
this is not take heart matter, if you lost at least a sibling before your eyes, you'll know its way more than that.
I pray they find them alive.
This is crazy…..Haaaa where will she start from?

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer port delayed indefinitely
Jason May 12, 2020 News, Nintendo Switch, PS4 Leave a comment 1,116 Views
The upcoming port of Star Wars Racer to the Switch and PS4 has been delayed once again, but this time with no new target date attached.
No racing yet
One of the best-loved games to spin out of the first of the prequel films, Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer focused on the pod racing segment from that movie. If you've somehow escaped seeing Episode 1, really all you have to know is that pod racing is futuristic racing set in the Star Wars universe.
At the time of the film's release, the pod racing scenes specifically were made the focus of a game for the N64. Most recently, that game has been seeing a little bit of a renaissance too, with a special retro-collector's edition from Limited Run, plus a port to modern consoles from Aspyr.
But the green light that will actually get the title into the hands of gamers once again seems stuck on red. The publisher has both Switch and PS4 versions in the pipe, but seem to have blown a repulsorlift or two.
Racer has already been delayed once, from early to late May, and now it has gotten another one. But this time the delay is a little more severe. Aspyr tweeted this week that the game will, for all intents and purposes, be now delayed indefinitely.
We are so excited to share Star Wars Episode l: Racer with you soon! Unfortunately, due to the ongoing work from home requirements across the industry, the game will be further delayed on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. We'll be back with an update as soon as possible.
— Aspyr (@AspyrMedia) May 11, 2020
So there it is, and it's honestly pretty understandable, especially for a smaller studio. And being that the game had a May release originally scheduled, and then rescheduled for within that same month, I can't imagine that an actually launch is too far in the future.

Klasztor Rzymian (kopt. ⲡⲁⲣⲟⲙⲉⲟⲥ, arab. البراموس Dajr al-Baramus, Dayr al-Barāmūs : Paromeos, Baramos) – koptyjski klasztor pod wezwaniem Najświętszej Marii Panny, położony w Wadi an-Natrun (starożytne Skete) w północnym Egipcie (około 90 km od Kairu i 10 km od klasztoru Świętego Makarego). Założony został przed 340 rokiem przez eremitę Makarego Wielkiego Egipskiego, uważanego za jednego z ojców egipskiego monastycyzmu, uznanego później za świętego katolickiego i prawosławnego. Klasztor funkcjonuje od IV wieku aż po czasy współczesne.

Etymologia
Arabska nazwa Baramûs jest transliteracją koptyjskiego ⲡⲁⲣⲟⲙⲉⲟⲥ = Pa-Romeos w znaczeniu "(klasztor) Rzymian". Rękopis "Życie Świętego Makarego" z X wieku przywołuje stare określenie tego klasztoru: "cela Rzymian". Koptyjski rękopis Paisjusza Wielkiego "Życie Rzymskich Świętych, Maksymusa i Domicjusza, synów Walentyniana" wysławia świętość życia braci, którzy, według jednego z możliwych wyjaśnień mieli z czasem być uwiecznieni w nazwie klasztoru.

Historia
Pierwsza osada mnichów została w tym miejscu założona przed 340 rokiem. Centralną budowlą był kościół otoczony rozsianymi na pustyni celami mnichów. Osada-erem gromadziła najstarszą wspólnotę eremicką w Wadi an-Natrun. Przed końcem IV wieku w tym rejonie istniały już cztery wspólnoty chrześcijańskie – zgromadzona w eremie funkcjonującym w rejonie obecnego klasztoru Rzymian, eremie św. Makarego, św. Jana Kolobosa oraz Biszwiego (świętego Paisjusza). Po śmierci Makarego w 390 roku, pustelnicze życie wiedli w tym rejonie jego uczniowie. Sukcesywnie rosła liczba mnichów i przybywało nowych eremów. Klasztor Rzymian był jednym z 50 zbudowanych w tym rejonie. Wraz z trzema innymi przetrwał do czasów współczesnych.

Klasztor funkcjonuje pod wezwaniem Najświętszej Marii Panny. Starożytny kościół św. Teodora (St. Theodore / Anba Tardus) jest wyłączony z użytku. W klasztornym kościele św. Michała zachowały się freski datowane na XII wiek. Elementy trzykondygnacyjnej wieży są datowane na VII wiek. Ponadto klasztor dysponuje kaplicą św. Jerzego i XIX-wiecznym kościołem św. Jana Chrzciciela.

How Reliable Are Citroen Vans?
Home Blog How Reliable Are Citroen Vans?
Reliability is one of the top criteria for any commercial vehicle owner alongside load space, payload capacity and general practicality. Citroen achieved a top 5 finish in the annual Fleet News FN50 reliability survey in 2014 and 2018. They also finished sixth three years running between 2015 and 2017.
Since 1996, Citroen has produced a range of reliable vans, including the Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay. The fact that you still see a number of older Citroen vans on the road today is a testament to their build-quality, popularity and reliability.
Citroen Berlingo Reliability
Citroen's small van, the Berlingo, is one of the best-selling vans in Europe. Originally introduced into the UK commercial vehicle market in 1996, the third-generation Berlingo was released in 2018, instantly picking up the coveted International Van of the Year Award 2019.
In 2018, the Berlingo was named the fifth most reliable van in the FN50 reliability survey, beating its sister van - the Peugeot Partner. It also finished in the top 10 in four of the previous five years.
On the used market, the second generation Berlingo (2008 - 2018) improved upon the first generation's reliability with a new range of 1.6-litre diesel engines. It's a strong workhorse with brake discs that should last around 60,000 miles and a resilient clutch. The only issue that mechanics report with any regularity is water getting into the fuse box which is a relatively straightforward fix costing between £80 - £200.
The latest third generation model has carried over a number of engines, features and components from the previous Berlingo. The engines were updated in 2015 to Euro 6 compliant, award-winning BlueHDi units which are also used in Citroen's passenger car range.
All new versions come with a three year/100,000 mile warranty - the first two years of which actually offer unlimited mileage. In addition, service intervals have increased from every 12,500 miles to 15,000 miles.
5 Reasons To Buy A Citroen Berlingo
Citroen Dispatch Reliability
Also introduced in 1996, the Citroen Dispatch bridged the gap between a small compact van and the larger panel vans. The first generation only offered a load area up to 4m³ - most small vans can now be configured to offer this level of space.
In 2007, the Dispatch was updated to be better in almost every way compared to its predecessor with three different cargo volumes available which could also carry heavier loads.
Dispatch owners responding to the RAC's 'What Goes Wrong' survey were largely satisfied with the MK2 model reporting that the HDi diesel engines were extremely reliable and economical. One company managed to run its Dispatch for 315,000 miles with only one clutch replacement.
The current third generation model was released in 2016 having been completely redesigned from the ground up using PSA's Efficient Modular 2 platform. However, the Euro 6 compliant 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel engines that proved to be so reliable were carried over from the previous version.
A new 1.5-litre engine was released into the range from May 2019, replacing the 1.6-litre units in order to meet the more stringent Euro 6D regulations. This 'new' engine has been used in Citroen passenger cars for a number of years, so there isn't any cause for concern in terms of its reliability.
Despite some recalls regarding issues with the suspension, steering and other elements, the Dispatch remains a very capable and reliable medium-sized van.
6 Reasons To Buy A Citroen Dispatch
Citroen Relay Reliability
Citroen released the Relay large van in 2006 and, despite only having minor updates throughout its lifetime, continues to offer value, efficiency and practicality.
The original 2.2-litre diesel engines were downsized to newly-developed 2.0-litre BlueHDi units in 2016 to comply with the latest Euro 6 emissions which actually resulted in an increase in power and efficiency across the range.
The Relay is able to boast a solid reliability record, although the drop links that connect the anti-roll bar to the suspension wishbone tend to wear out after 20,000 miles. Fortunately, they're relatively cheap and easy to replace.
Some owners have reported starting and running problems with the older 2.2-litre HDi engines, but these appear to be relatively isolated incidents. For peace of mind, if you're looking at an older used Relay, check the service history carefully.
Pre-Euro 6 Relays had 25,000-mile service intervals which was extended to 30,000 miles with the introduction of the 2.0-litre engines which were extensively tested in commercial vehicle-specific conditions.

There are encounters that change your Life.
Maine and I met for the first time at the International Aboriginal Tourism Conference 2015 in Quebec. It was still cold, and the first time of his life he could see snow. In front of many indigenous representatives from around the world, still under jet lag from his hours-long trip from his far away land, he gave a heart-full presentation about his deep commitment for his nation, through a 10-year tourism development and long lasting friendship, build through cultural exchanges with Japanese pupils and teachers. At the end of the Conference, he offered me a beautiful string bag hand-made by his wife. I could see in his eyes we have been knowing each other for a long time. One year later, we made it official and add Maine to our growing family.
Maine is our very first official Ambassador and also first man within our team. We are very proud to count him with us and be able to learn more about the Papuans. He is also a proud and talented photographer and we are really happy to share a glimpse of his work with his people.
Native Immersion is indeed creating an Ambassadorship program to enlighten remarkable indigenous entrepreneurs from different nations, who choose to believe and commit themselves into tourism as a way of cultural preservation.
We share their stories with the world in order to raise interest and connect them with future conscious travelers.
We hope you will enjoy Maine's world as much as we do.
Welcome to our tribe, Maine!
"When I was eight years my father took me and my cousin to this sacred site called Woto. It is pool along the Wiwo River. The sacred site had many tales, we travelled through the forest, up over the great ridge and by noon we arrived at Woto. There was a small hamlet nearby where we camped for the night. Next morning we visited the sacred pool, I remember it was so dark and so mysterious, having heard so many tales ingrained in my mind about this place, I walked through the forest with a feeling of suspense, as I got to the pool I stepped onto the rocks, and looked down into the pool, it was a very special moment as I tried to put the pieces of puzzles of a particular legend told to me as a child and connecting it to physical environment.
"This experience had somehow found its place in my mind, and had always driven me in my lifelong interest of protecting the environment folklore and the culture of my people. To this day I still reflect on this experience as inspiration in my work.
My agency Culture Link PNG seeks to network with, agencies such as NATIVE IMMERSION in telling our stories to the world and bringing people to experience our life culture and learn from it. I am privileged to be part of Native Immersion as PNG Ambassador and hope to connect operators, and agencies in getting the world to immerse in PNG Culture.
Culture Link PNG Limited is an innovative, Culture and Tourism Marketing Agency based in Lae, Papua New Guinea. It has a vast experience, in linking rural communities through, Eco-Tourism Adventures, International Culture Exchange, Events Management incorporating behavior change communication.
