I set the sewing machine up to make some Christmas presents and while it was out I made a new topper for a side table in the loungeroom and some new doyleys to match - cost $0! The fabric was scrap furnishing fabric given to me a while ago by my cousin.
This past week I've been concentrating on finding the holes in the stockpile. All those things I/we use but not a lot of or not regularly. Things like bandaids, sunscreen, herbs and spices, yeast (how did I miss that one?), scrub buds, eucalyptus oil, baking powder, citric acid, gelatine - all essentials in my household but not used every day or even every week in some cases, so easily left off the shopping list.
Wayne reconnected the watering system he made for me so I can get just the plants watered too. He used recycled and hard rubbish bits to put it together last year so it has cost us nothing but it saves me time watering and being on a timer it will save water; it has little drip thingys over just the plants that need water so nothing wasted.
I crushed more egg shells and sprinkled them around the plants to deter snails and slugs.
Planted more lettuce. Staggering planting gives a constant supply all summer.
Collected water from the kitchen and bathrooms and tipped it into the washing machine.
Started watering the back grass with the grey water from the washing machine now the weather is warming up (we don't water grass otherwise).
Dried carrots. One kilo of carrots, dehydrated, fits into a 500g jar.
Dehydrated carrots, 1 kilo down to this!
Went through my fabric and pattern stashes and have decided on gift ideas to make. Cut out and stitched some Christmas presents.
Recycled some shopping bags to use as gift bags. Recycled a couple of boxes to use as gift boxes.
Combined any errands with taking Hannah to the station to save on petrol.
Filled the car up on Tuesday using a 4c off docket.
Kept the windows, curtains and blinds closed on Monday and Tuesday when it was so hot to keep the house cool.
Cooked all our meals - breakfasts, lunches and dinners - from scratch at home this week, except for Thursday's lunch which was Mum's treat.
Spent $19 at Aldi to top up milk, cheese and bread, that's all we needed this week.
Made some cards using materials from the craft stash.
And that's about it. Just normal stuff that we do every day, without thinking, that helps us live debt free, cashed up and laughing.
You have a great list Cath. The tasks might seem ordinary but can save extraordinary amounts of money over time. Would love to see a photo of some of the gifts when they are finished ( or after Christmas ).
I think we forget that 'ordinary' is good. When things are ordinary there's no stress, like is chugging along as it's meant to and all is right in our worlds. Sometimes we use the word as a derogatory term and I think that's what confuses us. We've become to believe that if something is ordinary then it isn't good, and that's just not true.
Wow Cath, you had a great frugal week!


This research is a semi-experimental study ( pretest-posttest and follow-up design with a nonequivalent control group) and aims to investigate the impact of two evaluation models for students' educational performance on their self-efficacy and self-regulation behavior. The statistical population consists of all the students in the second period of primary school in the academic year 2014-15, who amounted to three million people and 360 individuals were selected as the sample through multi-stage cluster sampling from District 1 of Mashhad. The students were assigned into six groups using stratified allocation method. After taking the pretest of Wheeler and Ladd Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQC) and Zimmerman and Pons Self-Regulation Inventory for Students (SRLIS) and assessment of educational and behavioral performance of all groups, each of the three experimental groups randomly received 360 and 720 degree educational performance appraisal program for two months. Afterwards, a posttest was taken from the experimental and controlgroups and after two months, a follow-up test was conducted. In the end, the data was analyzed through singlefactor analysis of variance with repeated measures. The results of this study revealed that the effect of 720 degree appraisal method on self-efficacy and educational performance has been significant, but it had no influence on selfregulation. Further, 360 degree appraisal method has had an impact on self-efficacy and self-regulation, but had no effect on educational performance.


Dubai: The UAE's Majid Abdullah Al Usaimi was elected unopposed as President for a second term at the Asian Paralympic Committee (APC) General Assembly that concluded in Dubai on Wednesday.
With Al Usaimi getting a majority 35 of the 39 votes cast, Masayuki Mizuno of Japan also retained his position as Vice-President with 25 votes, and was joined by Jang Hyang-sook from Korea, who polled 28 votes from the total 70 cast. Saudi Arabia's Abdul Raheem Al Shaikh (22 votes) and Malaysia's Keng Chuan Ng (22 votes) were elected as the two Members at Large after three rounds of voting.
"We need peace, tolerance and a lot of hard work as we continue pursuing our strategic plan to develop the Paralympic movement in Asia," Al Usaimi told Gulf News.
"Now, more than ever, is the time to connect with everyone. The strategic plan of development will always be our guide, and should be show signs of lapse, we will always go back to basics," he added.
Jeong Min-lee of Korea, who was elected Chairperson of the APC Athletes' Committee at last year's Asian Para Games in Indonesia, will also sit on the new Board, alongside the five sub-regional representatives who were also elected during the Jakarta Games. Zhao Sujing of China, representing the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Para Games, will occupy the final position on the Board.
In accordance with the APC Constitution, Tarek Souei, the APC CEO is also on the Executive Board but with no voting rights. The new executive board will serve under Al Usaimi's presidentship for a three-year term, till 2022.

Dancing Contact Improvisation
Contact improvisation is a way of dancing playfully with a partner, grounded in physical sensation, which investigates how to play through sharing touch with the earth, with gravity and momentum, and with others or simply the awareness of space. There are no "moves" to learn, it's more like a moving puzzle. It has been variously described as "an art sport", "a game or two with two winners" and "a physical conversation". Contact dances can range from the quietly meditative to the exuberantly acrobatic, from using little or light touch to sending weight through a partner's body to fly.
The language of the body is sensations and in contact improvisation our sensation is always our guide in giving weight and receiving support, making and breaking contact, rolling and sliding, steering momentum, taking control of and resolving falls, travelling over and around your partner's body.
Physical conversation
Dancing contact is like having a physical conversation. Doing it both requires and nurtures a relaxed, open and curious state. People with a professional or personal interest in being "in their bodies" find it a way to explore what that means.
It was Steve Paxton's idea for a series of improvised dance performances in the US in 1972. Many who saw it wanted to learn how to do it and since then it has evolved into a form practised all over the world. It became of the key-skills at the root of much post-modern dance education at the same time evolved into a vital form of social dance with the potential to engender a strong sense of community among those who practice it. It crosses many boundaries and has the power to unite people with many different agendas. It offers a chance for people of all sizes shapes and abilities a way of moving together.
Like jazz musicians, contact dancers practice their art by jamming together and, again as in jazz, a jam doubles up as a social meeting place. Styles vary according to where you go but in general when people jam it is without recorded music though sometimes a live musician will come along and jam too. Though most people take some classes at some time, many people's first contact with contact is on visiting a jam.
Jams often begin with people taking time on their own to 'centre themselves' and warm themselves up into movement before going on to find others to dance with. Dances can be long or short, with one or more partners. People also take time out to watch others. As a jam draws to a close people often warm down together with some form of bodywork or massage, or maybe by taking time alone for quite reflection.
Safety at jams
In terms of sheer physical safety, following the form brings safety in itself: by taking time to 'center' and 'ground' yourself first; then by tuning in to your partner; following the point of contact rather than pushing it; staying relaxed, open and aware; turning the momentum of falls into rolls; and never holding on to your partner. Serious injuries are very rare.
With people working so closely in contact with each other, often total strangers, "social" safety is another important issue. The form itself confounds so many social conventions and sometimes the permission to exchange touch that is its premise can be abused. The bottom line is that you always have the choice whether or not to enter or continue a dance.
In this respect as in so many others contact is about taking responsibilty for your own experience and safety. However these choices are not always so easy to make in practice. The contact community needs to recognise this and consciously support individuals in that choice-making process. A step towards this would be to display a safety code (click here to view a sample as a PDF) at your public jam.
The process-orientatedness of contact means that whenever we dance we have the potential to learn. By sharing the dance with someone, we can not only tap into what they have to offer us right now, but also into the accumulated wisdom within them of all the dances they've ever had. A lot of learning is done simply by paying attention as we dance which is why jamming is such an integral part of contact improvisation as a movement practice.
There are no certified teachers of the form. Early on in the development of contact improvisation a conscious decision was made not to attempt to run any standardised certified training programmes to train teachers. This was partly because it was felt contrary to the ethos of the form and partly because it was thought to be a sure-fire way to restrict its development. Instead it was presumed that teachers would stand or fall on the strength of their practice.
When it comes to formal teaching situations anyone can teach a class if they feel moved to and can find a class of people willing to be taught. Some offer to share what they know about in informal sharing or laboratory situations while others teach regular classes and workshops.Everyone has something different to learn and teach. So it's good to experience as many different teachers as you can.
Some practitioners have acquired wonderful reputations built on many years of practice, often offering highly developed exercises addressing particular aspects of the form. Sometimes in a 'sharing' situation, someone who's only been dancing contact for a few months and is still blessed with 'beginner's mind' offers an observation that illuminates something you've been overlooking for years. That's how it goes…

We are seeing a trend of new businesses, start-ups and millennial-preneurs kick-starting their ventures through crowdfunding and seed funding. And, while this is a great way of funding their businesses and products, it is all too common that these organisations lack the foundation for building a real business, instead focusing too much on launching their product to market and the almighty "idea".
Plenty of great crowdfunded ideas have seen major success, but far fewer businesses and brands have stood the test of time. This is a testament to the fact that it takes a fair share more than a consumer-vestor that is willing to invest in your start-up, for your business to remain competitive the marketplace.
Without a long-term plan and having designed your business to withstand the test of time, even the best newly funded new high-flier is destined to fail. As the saying goes, fail to plan and you plan to fail.
These businesses really operate with too much faith in that "one product", with little to no thought in terms of brand vision, scaling, developing product groups, segmenting customer bases or creating a real business with a long-term vision. This is why although many crowdfunded campaigns are "successful", many fail to turn into real businesses*. Yes, as a seed investor there is a solid ROI if all goes well, however, the failure rate is nothing to sniff at.
Too often, a "one-hit-wonder" scenario emerges for those that have successfully funded campaigns and have thus launched their invention, tech gadget or service with a big bang – only to find that to sustain a business in the market over time takes more than just a quickly-funded great new product or service.
Sure, it's a great way to fund a venture, but without putting thought into business longevity and how to create sustained presence in the market and by focusing on the 15 minutes of fame of a quickly-launched product or concept, you end up spinning your wheels and wasting time that could be otherwise spent creating a real business.
Educating oneself about the fundamentals of business, doing thorough due diligence on your target market, key audience, their trends and behaviours and your direct and indirect competitors, ought to be one of the first steps, well before reaching out to fund the development or production of the product itself. Equally as paramount to creating a successful business is knowing the difference between real data and perceived data.
It surprises me, again and again, how much people starting out tend to listen to their peers and families who often have not been in business or launched a new concept, but usually give the most advice. Not unlike how many people approach investing in property or shares based on hear-say, really.
Today we have an abundance of access to research, industry stats, and ways to pretest a product to the audience and survey them. Yet, all too often the enthusiasm of getting their idea to market sees "start-up entrepreneurs" go past the hard yards of research, testing and straight to funding and heading to market. Likewise, most tend to not look for suitable mentors or business development advice in order to not only get their business off the ground but keep it airborne. Without know-how and guidance from those that have been there you drastically lower the chance of survival, despite however much money a crowd of people is willing to throw at it.
It's simply the logical thing to do when you want to go somewhere you have not been before – ask people who have been there before! I don't understand why so many start-up and new businesses ignore this and end up being part of the growing statistic of those that fail or become quickly forgotten one-hit-wonders – don't be a cautionary tale for others, instead start your business on the right foot and be patient before funding an "idea".


Tumi Mokwena, who has been acting as Malema's lawyer, was accused with attempted murder after firing shots on workers at the Zebediel citrus farm. One worker lost his finger in the shooting at a wage dispute between Mokwena and farm workers. Farm manager Jakobus Swanepoel testified in court that Mokwena's life was not in danger..

A diagnosis of hypoglycemia is not based only on symptoms. Rather, endocrinologists look for the presence Whipple's Triad, named for Allen O.Whipple, MD. These three factors help doctors diagnose hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar (blood glucose).
According to the textbook Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, a blood glucose level equal to or below 50mg/dL (normal blood glucose is 80-120) without the presence of diabetes warrants proper medical assessment.
Fasting or reactive hypoglycemia is diagnosed by a blood test to measure blood glucose. The test may be performed after fasting overnight, physical activity, or between meals.
Of course, if your endocrinologist suspects a hormone deficiency, pancreatic tumor, or another cause of hypoglycemia, further testing and evaluation is required.

Sync NI - opinion - Five things a software engineer does.
We all know that software engineers build software, but is it really just as simple as sitting down with a computer to write code all day and then finish up with a clean system by 5pm and go home?
A software engineer is involved in the processes related to the creation and design of new systems and the position encompasses many hard and soft skills on a day-to-day basis – much more than the general tagline of 'developing software' or 'writing code'.
A team of software engineers will normally work together and cover a variety of aspects within a certain project, including a delivery lead who oversees the progress of the same project.
So, what does a software engineer actually do on a daily basis then?
Depending on the type of company you work for or the type of client that you have, the amount of time that you spend writing code can vary. There are many different technologies leveraged and developers will always have the possibility to try something new and move internally.
Most developers will say that the higher percentage of time spent writing code the better; after all this is what we are trained to do.
Many developers in Liberty IT are working in greenfield projects where they are driving how code should be written and making their own decisions on coding standards and best practices. Teams are empowered to work in a way that suits their needs and capabilities.
This is the bigger picture stuff. Before you start into whacking through all that amazing code which leads to a great software system, there needs to be a lot of thought put in, to ensure efficiency throughout the development process. Taking a broader view and deciding what new or existing technologies are out there to leverage can both enhance developers' knowledge and help with the creation of the application.
Strategic thinking may be left to senior developers within a team, but input is welcomed from all ends and any developer who wants to be involved in the meetings will always be welcomed.
There's a good chance as a programmer at least a certain amount of your daily work will include brainstorming or mapping out a plan for how the architecture of your system will function, from its origin to the final user interface.
Having the whole team involved in that process ensures that everyone is working towards the same objectives. This also provides junior developers with essential experience of how to approach implementing complex features. Design and collaboration is made easy at Liberty IT, with writable walls and cutting-edge technology.
The writing of the code may be the fun part, but testing whether it works or not is a different ball game.
Things don't always work the first time. A lot of the process is testing out what works and what doesn't and, more often than not, how that code that looked amazing in your head doesn't translate so well in practice. The best software engineers will be sure to test their own code before committing, ensuring new tests are implemented and that existing ones are still passing.
Many teams also embrace a TDD (test-driven development) approach. In brief, developers will write tests before they start to implement a feature. This enables them to have a thorough understanding of the problem at hand as well as increase test coverage.
In a sector where keeping ahead in a competitive market is of upmost importance, learning about the latest tools and programmes is critical for not getting left behind. Software engineers need a continuous learning mindset.
Particularly for new and graduate software engineers, learning from more senior members of the team in the first weeks and months on the job will take up a significant part of your time.
Liberty IT is passionate about ensuring that their software engineers are given adequate time and resources to further their learning well after leaving college. From online access to video lessons on Pluralsight to both on-site and off-site training, every engineer has a wealth of choices to try and learn new skills. Many will travel the globe to attend conferences where they are both learning and networking with other people in the industry.
The stereotypical view of software developers is one of an isolated figure with headphones in, writing code for hours on end in a dark room; but communicating and engaging with clients, customers, managers and executives is s a key part of a developer's role in today's Agile world. Effective and professional communications help to create the best possible products.
Most teams will have ceremonies during the day where everyone is expected to share what they are working on, help others with their blocking issues and plan for future work.
Developers who remain locked in cubicles are going to find themselves greatly limiting their potential for growth both within a company and in their overall career progression.
Those who are able to effectively translate and communicate development ideas to those within and outside a company will find themselves looking at more responsibility at some point.
We hope you have enjoyed Adam's insight into life as a software engineer at Liberty IT. If you are interested in working in a fast-paced, Agile environment in Belfast or Dublin, check out our current vacancies to see what Liberty IT has for you.

The 6 Best Final Four Games In College Basketball History
By Clark Mitchell April 4, 2015
The men's basketball Final Four, or round of 4 for that matter, has produced some of the greatest moments in hoops history. Most fans point to great championship games such as the Bird/Magic showdown in 1979 and Butler's near miracle upset of Duke in 2010 as college basketball at its finest, but the national semifinals has also produced its fair share of iconic memories. Here's our list of The 6 Best Final Four Games In College Basketball History.
6) Villanova 92, Western Kentucky 89 [2OT] (1971)
Villanova was given a second chance to sew things up after Western Kentucky's Jerry Dunn clanked a free throw with four seconds remaining in regulation that would have all but ended things in favor of the Hilltoppers. The Wildcats made good on that opportunity, as All-American Howard Porter took a star turn in double overtime to send 'Nova to the national title game.
5) Marquette 51, UNC-Charlotte 49 (1977)
https://youtu.be/n5u8JuNltiw
This national semifinal gave us one of the semi-forgotten great buzzer beaters in NCAA Tournament history, as Jerome Whitehead took a length-of-the-court pass from Butch Lee and hit a layup just before the final buzzer to send Marquette and Al McGuire to the National Championship game for the second time.
4) Duke 95, Maryland 84 (2001)
https://youtu.be/T9_pPqWfI84
Duke rallied from a 39-17 first-half deficit, closing the gap to 11 at the half before completing one of the wildest comebacks in NCAA tournament with a eye-popping 57-point outburst in the final 20 minutes. Shane Battier led the Blue Devils with 25 points and eight rebounds, breathing new life into the eventual national champions.
3) Duke 79, UNLV 77 (1991)
https://youtu.be/RLU4leUrUDQ
Jerry Tarkanian's Rebels came into this matchup riding a 45-game winning streak with clear memories of running Duke out of the gym during a 103-73 championship game victory a year prior. That meant nothing to Christian Laettner who sank two free throws with 11 seconds remaining to snap UNLV's winning streak and set Duke up for its first national title celebration just two nights later.
2) NC State 80, UCLA 77 [2OT] (1974)
https://youtu.be/7lX-l7S1rvM
The Wolfpack remain the only NCAA team to have won a national championship without leaving their home state during the tourney. To make it to the title game in '74, they had to run through a UCLA program riding an unparalleled 38-game tournament winning streak. NC State did just that, coming back from 11 down in the second half and 7 down in the game's 2nd overtime.
1) North Carolina 74, Michigan State 70 [3OT] (1957)
The granddaddy of Final Four nail-biters, this marked the first of two-straight triple overtime victories for the Tar Heels in the 1957 Final Four. Pete Brennan's foul line jumper saved UNC in the first overtime, and they used that momentum to their advantage to finally oust the Spartans in 3OT. Just 24 hours later, they would outlast Kansas in another triple-overtime affair to win it all.

There's just something about the 8-bit and 16-bit eras of gaming. Even after decades, it's still a remarkable and enduring period that's managed to stand the test of time. With a slick focus on charming visuals and deeply refined gameplay, the classics of the time are still played today. And, with a sizable amount of fans clamoring for the return of such titles, it's easy to see why the endearing nature of 2D games holds strong. Honestly, games just felt more pure back then, and it looks as though some devs are looking to emulate the example set by games from the past.
Originally created as a quick title for GameJam 2014, the developers at Tree Fortress found something special about this peculiar T-Rex wearing jet boots, and decided to flesh it out into a fully featured title. Taking inspiration from classic games like Mega Man and Sonic, the talent behind JumpJet Rex wanted to offer players a new 2D platformer that's not only goofy fun, but also tough as nails.
"I always refer to it as the 'golden age of gaming,'" said Tree Fortress CEO Grant Skinner while discussing the team's influences. There is a clear respect for the 8-bit and 16-bit era in JumpJet Rex, and the developers wanted their take on an old-school 2D platformer to keep with the style and design of the period. During Early Access, which will feature the first dozen stages, they plan to keep a close eye on the community's reactions, which they see as a key part of the title's success.
Taking control of the titular space exploring dinosaur, players will travel through the galaxy visiting unique planets that feature their own challenges and scenarios to tackle. With his jet boots, Rex will be able to hover, dash, and boost through stages while collecting coins and dodging obstacles. Along the way, Rex will encounter baddies and other nefarious foes that'll task players to use quick thinking and clever use of the jets to get the best of them. And, depending on performance, stars are acquired which unlock new planets to explore.
"I have a lot of respect for the early '90s," said lead designer Shawn Blais. "They really had a refined mastery of platforming in 2D games." Much like titles in the vein of Mega Man and classic Sonic, JumpJet Rex features a simple control scheme that is easy to get into, but difficult to master.
While the early planets were rather elementary, the difficulty quickly ramped up as the environments and enemies became more devious. As the jet boots also work as a weapon which fire blasts of energy toward enemies and boost Rex at high-speed, platforming skills are the player's greatest asset. To further add to the challenge, some planets feature secret rooms that yield great rewards but will lock the player out upon death.
Though its love of the period is evident, the developers were keen to show off features that are common place in modern games. Taking inspiration from the community's interaction and sharing of content on their previous game, the folks at Tree Fortress implemented an extensive level of customization and co-op features. Players can compete against the ghosts of others in stages for the best times or work together in co-op to conquer challenging planets that will put anyone's jumpjet skills to the test.
With every coin collected, players can purchase new outfits for their character and decorate their home base with knick-knacks and other oddities. Many of the outfits and designs are clever nods to classic 2D titles, and with over three-million unique combinations, the devs hope that players will share their designs and outfits for others to see. In addition to customization options, there are also plans to offer challenges to the streaming community with the upcoming (and appropriately named) Ragequit Rex mode. In it, players are given only three lives and must complete the entire game (over 40 stages in the final release) without checkpoints.
After its Early Access launch, the developers plan to gradually release more content and modes until its official release. After that, Treehouse anticipates a slew of post-launch updates. One feature the devs were excited to talk about is Arena mode, which pits players against each other a la Smash Bros. Moreover, holiday themed content packs are also in the cards as well.
Even though titles that seek to relive the early period of gaming are increasingly more common, JumpJet Rex does an admirable job of blending the best of old and new. To see a throwback title implement online modes and other neat customization options is really special. I had a blast during my time with it, and if you're one that's missing the style and design of old-school platformers, then you might want to keep this one on your radar.


motor-Only one of the phase winding is energized at a time. That is, either AB or CD is energized. To achieve high step rates, the motor supply is typically higher than would be permissible without active current limiting. For instance, a typical stepper motor might have a maximum current rating of 1 A with a 5 Ω coil resistance, which would indicate a maximum motor supply of 5 V.

Captain Paul Watson Responds to Japanese Senior Consul General Makoto Hinei
Commentary by Paul Watson (in bold text)
On July 10th, Japanese Senior Consul General Makoto Hinei had an editorial published in the Hawaiian Star Bulletin defending his nation's pirate whaling activities. Captain Watson comments on the editorial below.
Humane Whaling Aids Japanese Research
Makoto Hinei: With respect to the June 20 commentary "Japan keeps up slaughter in name of science," by syndicated columnist Bonnie Erbe, I would like to present the counter-arguments of the government of Japan. Japan's whaling program, which is sanctioned by the International Whaling Commission [IWC], is essential as it provides necessary scientific data helping to establish proper conservation of whales and other species. From every whale taken for research, Japan collects scientific information on more than 100 data points and annually reports the findings to the commission, where those efforts and scientific knowledge are highly commended.
Captain Paul Watson: The Japanese whaling program is not sanctioned by the IWC. This is a blatant distortion of the facts. Japan claims that their whaling has been given approval by the IWC. This is not the case. Japan is involved in commercial whaling activities in an international whale sanctuary - the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Commercial whaling has been banned by the IWC since 1986 and the Japanese attempt to overturn this ban at this year's meeting of the IWC in St. Kitts & Nevis failed.
Makoto Hinei: The byproducts of the research conducted are treated strictly in accordance with the obligation under Article 8 of the convention, which stipulates "any whale taken under special permits shall so far as practicable be processed." As for Erbe's analysis of the declining demand for whale meat among Japanese consumers, we are assured that the demand for meat substantially exists. On this point, I would like to emphasize that Japan's whaling is solely for research purposes, not for supply purposes, and therefore the market principle of supply and demand for the meat is not applicable here.
Captain Paul Watson: First, Makoto Hinei says that the whales are killed for research and in the same paragraph says that there is a substantial demand for whale meat from consumers. Japan had not produced a single international peer-reviewed research paper on whales during the last 20 years of their illegal whaling activities. The only research they have been doing is product development and marketing research.
Makoto Hinei: Moreover, the accusation of Japan purchasing votes on the IWC is totally groundless. To suggest that Japan is buying nations with foreign aid is not only a false allegation but also an insult to those countries referred to as bought at the IWC as well as to Japan. Japan is one of the world's top donor countries of official development assistance and provides aid to all countries regardless of their position on whaling.
Captain Paul Watson: I will be very undiplomatic here and state without hesitation that Japan has been buying votes. Togo showed up at the IWC meeting late this year with their membership fees in Japanese yen in a paper bag. Mongolia's delegation had their expenses paid by Japanese interests. The buying of votes in St. Lucia, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Grenada, and Antigua is common knowledge among their citizens and media. Land-locked nations like Mongolia and Mali don't just show up at great expense to champion whaling because it is part of their tradition or a part of their economics. The Japanese takes the rest of the world for fools if they think we will buy this lie.
Makoto Hinei: Japan believes in conservation of whales that are on the brink of extinction, such as the blue whale. Minke whales have never been considered endangered and should be allowed to be hunted in a sustainable and humane manner.
Captain Paul Watson: Japan intends to kill humpbacks and fins this year, endangered whales on the CITES list of endangered species. The Antarctic Minke whale numbers are unknown and there is concern for their survival. There is no such thing as sustainable and humane whaling. Humanity would never allow the killing of a land animals in a manner similar to how whales are killed. It is not possible to humanely kill a whale.

MANILA - Malacañang on Sunday defended President Rodrigo Duterte's order to airport authorities to cut ties with a ground service provider after a baggage theft incident.
Miascor on Friday said it would ask Duterte to reconsider his position on behalf of its 4,000 employees who will lose their jobs.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, however, brushed aside Miascor's appeal saying the contract of the service provider had already expired.
"So nothing to appeal as there is no existing contract," Roque said.
Six Miascor employees have been charged for allegedly ransacking the bag of an overseas Filipino worker at the Clark International Airport earlier this month.
Roque, meanwhile, said qualified personnel from Miascor will be absorbed by other existing ground handlers.
"Fact is the jobs are there so these will be filled up either by new hires or qualified staff from Miascor," Roque said.


Google, through Robin Züger, has announced today, March 10, the immediate availability for download of the official Google Calendar app for iPhone devices. It is the iOS version of the Google Calendar app for Android announced back in November 2014 by Ian Leader, Product Manager at Google.
The official Google Calendar app for iPhone is now available (finally!) on the App Store and includes the same features that have been available to Android users for about five months, such as support for automatically converting emails from Gmail into Calendar events.
Moreover, the application includes the Assists functionality, which saves you a lot of precious time when creating events by giving you all sorts of suggestions, as well as the well-known Schedule View that makes your calendar beautiful and very pleasant to the eye.
And the best feature of the Google Calendar app for iPhone is that it integrates with all your existing calendars, but you should just go ahead and watch the introduction video below to see how the app looks and works, or just head over to the App Store to install it on your phone.
"Of course if you're on Android, then definitely check out the recent improvements we made to Google Calendar for Android. Either way you can now spend less time managing your day, and more time enjoying it." says Robin Züger on the blog announcement.

Pretty much a long way from most places!
My Heart's in the Highlands
by Robert Burns
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.
Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
The Falls of Shin
Daniel Defoe, in his A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain observes that this frightful country of Scotland, can be divided into four quarters: The South Land (which is south of the River Tay); The Midland (from the Tay up to Lake Ness and the Aber, including Isla and Jura); The Northland, and The Islands. He goes on to say, as he enters the third division, that the mountains are so full of deer, harts, roebucks, etc.... also a great number of eagles which breed in the woods.... the rivers and lakes also in all this country are prodigiously full of salmon.....
Red Grouse
OK. So there's deer. So there's salmon. But there are also birds. Don't forget the birds. Wonderfully varied, impermanent, characterful, elusive, frustrating, but ultimately so worth the watch......
And not just the powerful, elemental, grand birds that dominate. There are birds to suit all tastes (?) - and I am not including young Gannets here - and interests. I wrote something about Ospreys in another entry, and alluded to some visitors in writing about Islay, but on the shores here, of loch and coast; in the heather and on the rocks; in the air and on the water, the Highlands abound in wildlife, much of it in avian form.....
A Redshank skims the waters
And the ubiquitous red-eyed oystercatcher seems different here, purer, perhaps more at home. The last ones I saw were busy on the lawn of my hotel in the Isle of Wight, but here they seem to have time to linger, basking in the cool light of their own reflections.....
Some are more difficult to see close up, and without the advantage of the high-tech, extremely high cost, equipment of the SpringWatch team, it is still possible to appreciate the colours and temperaments of rarer species, such as Slavonian Grebes bobbing on Loch Ruthven....
And flitting, resting, watching, feeding, there are so many beautiful species, just being, like this upright Wheatear among the heathers......
But then it is not only birds, either. Off the shingle of Chanonry Point, we watch dolphins tumbling in the tidal rip. Defoe reported the fishing of porpoises here, but our sport is in watching these creatures doing what they do, without obligation....
I love Scotland, and I shall personally grieve if it detaches from me in any way. Like Robert Burns I am not a Highlander, nor am I a frequent visitor, nor can I offer this frightful country anything in the way of appeasement, but something of my heart is in the Highlands, for personal reasons...
As recounted in an earlier piece, entitled The Battle of Blenheim, and of a very different nature, I lived for a while in Dunrobin Castle, on the shore just north of Golspie. In early 1969 I took this picture:
And in 2014 I took this one:
Better camera, perhaps; better weather, certainly.....
Inside there is still the same questionable opulence:
And from the rooftops I imagine the dusty vistas are as they were when Garibaldi docked at the quay:
It was weird to roam that Gormenghast-like castle freely. The thirteenth century core had been consumed by additions aeons ago, and the servants' quarters were crawling with nothings to remind even the dust of shames long past. For an impressionable youth it was very impressionable. From the haunted chamber, where perhaps a young woman had had a fatal accident with a sash window, to the Duke's bathroom, where a wicker seated commode communed with a claw footed bath, the world was eerie, detached and strange. Fulmars launched themselves from my window-sill; the raven himself was hoarse....
Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
(My brother had thanes on his mind)
By th' clock 'tis day,
And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp.
It was extraordinary to be so far north. When I arrived, not yet eighteen, it was deep winter, and the days were so dark you needed a torch to read at midday. The sea was spectacular, hurling spray at my window fifty feet or more above the gardens. When I left, in late summer, you could read without a torch at midnight.
That July the world seemed to be whirling out of control through space. On Tuesday 1st John Lennon crashed his Austin Maxi into a nearby ditch and spend five days in the local hospital, with Yoko Ono and her daughter Kyoko. John had 17 facial stitches and Yoko 14 (Julian had been with them too, but he was unharmed).
That same weekend, my group, The Dunrobiners, which had become something of a phenomenon in the area (well, we cut a disc in a recording studio in Wick!) was heading a Ceilidh at the Stags Head Hotel.
There was talk that John might come down from the hospital to see what was going on, but the delightful Alice Sutherland leaned across to me and smiled, We don't need no John Lennon. Whisht, you're our Beatles! Perhaps he heard her.....
Later that month Brian Jones died and Mick Jagger threw butterflies at heaven; and then men seemingly stepped on the moon, while we attended dances at the Drill Hall, an extraordinary example of corrugated architecture, into which the entire village and many more from far and wide would crush, jigging and bopping to the scottish equivalent of a Show Band.....
And we would nightly carouse in the wonderful Sutherland Arms Hotel, fuelling our dreams with Tennants Heavy and ten year old Glenmorangie.....
I loved it there, and on returning recently it was sad to hear that Mrs Hexley, the landlady, had long since passed away, but one of her sons still lives in the village, and most wonderfully I learned that Murdo, the perfect barman, was still around, working now as a guide in the Castle.
A piece of my heart is certainly there. As curiously is Bob Dylan's.... apparently, or so he said, in Highlands on Time out of Mind:
Well my heart's in the Highlands gentle and fair
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
Bluebelles blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow
Well my heart's in the Highland
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go
Well my heart's in the Highlands wherever I roam
That's where I'll be when I get called home
The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme
I can only get there one step at a time
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan
Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low
Well my heart's in the Highlands
Only place left to go
Curious how Burns and Zimmerman share this sentiment, perhaps. Maybe it's because Bob and his brother David share a home at Nethy Bridge, in the Cairngorms National Park? But it's good enough for me.....
Well, my heart's in the Highlands at the break of day
Over the hills and far away
There's a way to get there and I'll figure it out somehow
But I'm already there in my mind
And that's good enough for now

Just a word of appreciation for a most enjoyable and evocative blog. I stumbled in here while trying to find out if there were any other records on the Strathclyde label, other than the Dunrobiners' single - I run a website about record labels of the 1970s. Can you tell me, was it your own label, or a small independent?
Richard Gibbs 2 November 2014 at 21:31
The copy of the Dunrobiners' single that you may have is probably the remake..... The original Dunrobiners (which included me) went to Wick in the early summer of 1969 and recorded Dunrobin Calypso and a B side in a small independent studio - I am afraid I don't know the name and I never had a copy. I left Dunrobin in July 1969 and went to University in Lancaster. Something went wrong with the single - I never knew what - and it was rerecorded with my two friends and a third, unknown, person. I am sorry but I do not know more. Our "manager" (Noel Maslin) is, I suspect, long since deceased. Our front man (Mark, or Mike, I am sorry but I don't remember his name) went to Australia, I believe, and Derek Swain (Maracas) returned to the north of England and for me at least oblivion..... It would be nice to know more if you unearth it, but I suspect the details are with the ninth legion!
Thanks for that, Richard. I haven't got a copy of the record, unfortunately, only scans that a friend has sent me. The back of the sleeve gives the artists as Paul Arnold, Derek Swain and George Jack, so as you say it must be the re-recording. The tracks are 'Off To Killonan' and 'Dunrobin Calypso', and the record company credited was Strathclyde Recordings. I hope to have a page for the company on my website, 'Seventies Sevens' before too long, though, as you've guessed, details on it will be scanty! Thanks again, and best wishes - Bob Lyons.
Paul Lyon.... That was him.

I was attending Dunrobin at the time the recording was made...Paul was a Maths teacher, and Danny our Chemistry teacher who once saved my eyes when a test-tube of hot sulphuric acid exploded in my face...he rushed over and forced my head under a torrent of water from a tap. We were on a mini-bus with Paul Arnold driving as he taught us Dunrobin Calypso...we came up with a slightly different ending which I think was incorporated into the cut disc. If you see this Paul...sorry for putting HP sauce and sugar in your petrol tank....JD
Graham S 25 November 2017 at 21:36
I was at Perry House back in the day and certainly had a copy of Dunrobin Calypso, I could hum you a line or two and may even still have the 45 still knocking about somewhere. I remember the black and white photo on the cover. Noel Maslin and Derek Swain were teachers that I haven't thought about for years.
The photo of Dunbrobin in the snow brought back memories of sliding down the gully to the right of the castle on a fertiliser sack. Happy days!

At a time when food costs were consistently rising in Ethiopia, Get-n-Go and Olson Oil Co. stepped up to make difference in our food program for the "poorest of the poor". With nearly half of our operations expenses going to feed students at the schools in Hosanna and Ottoro, Get-n-Go provided some cost relief to our meal program in Ethiopia so that we wouldn't have to cut back on meals or reduce the nutritional value of what we're serving. Get-n-Go stores are popular for their fast and convenient food and drink choices. We're thankful for Todd Olson and all the folks at Get-n-Go who give from the profits of their own food and beverage sales so that children in Hosanna and Ottoro can be healthy, well-fed and educated.
If you're in the Sioux Falls, SD area, please stop by your local Get-n-Go store and say "thank-you" for serving those who are less fortunate!

California Attorney General Refuses To Release Misconduct Records For Department Of Justice Officers
Nadine Sebai
Wednesday, February 6, 2019 | Sacramento, CA
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra delivers the Spanish-language State of the Union response from McClatchy High School in Sacramento on Feb. 5, 2019.
Andrew Nixon / Capital Public Radio
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is tasked with enforcing and upholding the state's laws. But when it comes to a new measure that requires the release of law enforcement misconduct records, Becerra is refusing to budge.
Becerra has declined to respond to California Public Records Act requests asking for the records and says he's waiting for decisions from several courts before he provides them.
"I don't want a court to tell me 'That was not a document that you should have released,' Becerra said. "And those people who had that privacy violated have no real recourse."
The new law took effect on January 1. Since, police unions from Richmond and Los Angeles have sued to block disclosure of misconduct files. The courts will determine how to interpret the law, and specifically whether records should be provided retroactively.
First Amendment Group Sues State AG Over Withholding Police Records
A Bay Area-based First Amendment group is suing the California attorney general and Department of Justice, looking to force the release of law enforcement misconduct and shooting information unsealed by a new state law.
