For all the Computer Aided Design, laser-etching, complex finishes and intricate shapes used on modern coins, there's no finer coin to hold in your hand than something steeped in the history of the greatest empire of the ancient world, Rome. Of those coins the Aureus is amongst the most sought after, both for its relatively large size and for its scarcity, especially prior to the reign of Julius Caesar.
The Aureus was valued at 25 silver denarii and was about the same diameter, but heavier due to the differing densities of gold and silver. Julius Caesar standardised the weight at 1/40th of a Roman pound (8.18g), but as with anything in the financial world, they gradually got smaller and smaller until by the time of the Emperor Constantine, they were replaced by the Solidus, a coin weighing only 4.55 grams. However, regardless of the size or weight of the aureus, the coin's purity was little affected. Analysis of the Roman aureus shows the purity level usually to have been near to 24 carat gold in excess of 99%.
Swiss-based producer International Coin House have taken some of the beautiful designs that adorned the ancient Roman coins and incorporated them into some excellent artwork of their own. Featuring the bull symbol of Octavians legions, Venus the Roman goddess of love, and Iustitia the Roman goddess of Justice, the first three silver coins released early last year took a gold printed facsimile of both sides of a Roman aureus and overlaid them onto a 1/2oz 0.9999 silver coin, each depicting contemporary interpretations of the original subjects.
At the bottom, a replica of a coin from ancient Rome minted in the Octavian August period. On the obverse of the ancient coin a profile of Octavian August, on the reverse of the ancient coin a charging bull – a symbol of victorious Octavian's legions.
On the top of the coin a bull as a symbol of a bull market. On the background the elements connected with stock exchange. Inscription (a Latin phrase): "Crede quod habes, et habes" ("Believe that you have it, and you do").
On the right hand side of the coin reverse there are the replicas of the Aureus – a gold coin from the ancient Rome, minted during emperor Vespasian (lat. Vespasianus) period (69 – 79). On the obverse of the ancient coin a profile of the emperor Vespasian, on the reverse of the ancient coin the sitting goddess of justice, with scepter and patera.

In early 2015 a couple of new designs appeared depicting the standing goddess Fortuna, and Salus, the Roman personification of well-being, the former being dated 2014 and the latter 2015. Each follows the same design brief as the first three coins. Further designs featuring the Roman personification of Victory, and one of the goddess Diana were also released throughout 2015. A 2016-dated Neptune arrived a while ago, and that's been joined by a latest coin called Moneta. That brings the total number in the range up to nine coins, not including a special called 'Wheel of Fortune' that while not strictly part of the series, is clearly inspired by it.
Having seen the first three coins, we can confirm the strike and background design is absolutely first class, but be aware that the images of the first three coins above aren't quite accurate. The coins appear gilded but they're in fact gold-printed, we believe with an ink carrying an suspension of gold particles. The finished result is nowhere near as intense and rich as proper gilding. The Fortuna coin image shows a more correct representation of an actual coin. A missed opportunity we think, but one that doesn't overly detract from what are quite beautifully struck designs.
They're available with a box, but the dealer has to buy them seperately and as a result we tend to see them sold just in a capsule with the certificate in a bag. We've seen one dealer selling the first three coins in a nimbus frame with a custom insert that looks a lot better, but otherwise you'd need to ask your dealer to get the boxes in, we'd imagine.
Mintages are a bit of a wildly varying set of numbers. The Taurus was 777, the Iustitia 3333, the Venus back down to 777, Victoria 999, Fortuna and Salus were back up to 3333, Diana back down to 999, and now the 2016 coins are at a series low of 500. We're not quite sure what's going on here, perhaps some are pre-sold to specific bulk buyers in advance, but it's a bit of a mess to be honest. All the mintages are listed as 'up to', so it's possible that all are quite tight in numbers.

Q: Integrating $\int \frac{3}{(x^2 +5)^2}dx$ by parts Integrating $$\int \frac{3}{(x^2 +5)^2}dx$$
After removing the constant, it is basically integrating $\frac{1}{x^4+10x^2+25}$. I only have learnt up to integrating $\frac{1}{ax^2 + bx +c}$ with the highest power of $x$ is 2. And this cannot be broken up into partial fractions too. What happens when the power of $x$ is 4?
My thoughts are to do integration by parts (product rule)
$$\int u v' dx = uv - \int u' v dx$$
But I am unclear what do substitute $u$ and $v$ to

A: Integrate by parts as follows
\begin{align}
\int \frac{3}{(x^2 +5)^2}dx &=\int \frac3{10x}d\left(\frac{x^2}{x^2+5}\right)\\
&= \frac{3x}{10(x^2+5)}+\frac3{10}\int\frac{1}{x^2+5}dx\\
 &= \frac{3x}{10(x^2+5)}+\frac3{10\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac x{\sqrt5}+C
\end{align}

A: $$\frac{3}{10}\int\frac{10}{x^4+10x^2+25}dx$$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $x^2$
$$\frac{3}{10}\int\frac{\frac{10}{x^2}}{x^2+10+(\frac5x)^2}dx\\=\frac{3}{10}\int\frac{\frac5{x^2}+1+\frac5{x^2}-1}{x^2+10+(\frac5x)^2}dx\\=\frac{3}{10}\int\frac{1+\frac5{x^2}}{x^2+10+(\frac5x)^2}dx-\frac3{10}\int\frac{1-\frac5{x^2}}{x^2+10+(\frac5x)^2}dx\\=I_1-I_2$$
For $I_1$, put $x-\frac5x=t$. Its a) derivative is $(1+\frac5{x^2})dx=dt$ and b) square is $x^2-10+(\frac5x)^2=t^2$
Thus, $$I_1=\frac3{10}\int\frac{dt}{t^2+20}\\=\frac{3}{20\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac{t}{2\sqrt5}+c_1\\=\frac3{20\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac{x^2-5}{2\sqrt5x}+c_1$$
For $I_2$, put $x+\frac5x=t$. Its a) derivative is $(1-\frac5{x^2})dx=dt$ and b) square is $x^2+10+(\frac5x)^2=t^2$
Thus, $$I_2=\frac3{10}\int\frac{dt}{t^2}\\=\frac{-3}{10t}+c_2\\=\frac{-3x}{10(x^2+5)}+c_2$$

A: Using partial fractions...
Replace $x=t\sqrt5$ and your integral becomes:
$$\frac{3\sqrt5}{25}\int \frac{dt}{(t^2+1)^2}$$
Start by writing:
$$\frac1{t^2+1}=\frac a{t+i}+\frac b{t-i}$$ and solving for $a,b.$ $a,b$ will be complex (they will be complex conjugates.)
Squaring, you get:
$$\frac1{(t^2+1)^2}=\frac{a^2}{(t+i)^2}+\frac{2ab}{t^2+1}+\frac{b^2}{(t-i)^2}$$
Integrating, you get: $$-\frac{a^2}{t+i}-\frac{b^2}{t-i}+2ab\arctan(t).$$
You can combine those first two terms to get something of the form $\frac{ct+d}{t^2+1},$ for $c,d$ real, and $2ab$ are real, too.
We can skip all that, then and take the derivative of $\frac{ct+d}{t^2+1}+f\arctan(t)$ to get: $$\frac{(c+f)(t^2+1)-2t(ct+d)}{(t^2+1)^2}$$
Setting the numerator to $1,$ we get $c+f-2c=0,$ $-2d=0,$ and $c+f=1.$ That means $c=1/2,d=0,f=1/2.$
So your integral should be $$\frac{3\sqrt5}{50}\left(\frac{t}{t^2+1}+\arctan(t)\right)$$ with $t=x/\sqrt5.$

This becomes harder if you have $x^4$ in place od $x^2.$ It's still doable with partial fractions, but the first trick of doing a simpler partial fraction then square isn't really possible, and it is also not possible the do the trick at the end where I avoided the complex numbers, so you'll need to know a thing or two about the logarithms of complex numbers.
But if the integral is of $\frac1{(t^2+1)^k}$ for some other $k,$ then you get an integral of the form $$\frac{p(x)}{(t^2+1)^{k-1}}+c\arctan(t)$$ for some polynomial $p(x)$ of degree less than $2k-2$ and constant $c.$

A: $$\int\frac3{2x}\cdot\frac{2x}{(x^2+5)^2}dx\\=\frac3{2x}\cdot\frac{-1}{(x^2+5)}-\int\frac{-3}{2x^2}\cdot\frac{-1}{x^2+5}dx\\=\frac{-3}{2x(x^2+5)}-\frac3{10}\int\frac{x^2+5-x^2}{x^2(x^2+5)}dx\\=\frac{-3}{2x(x^2+5)}-\frac3{10}\int(\frac1{x^2}-\frac1{x^2+5})dx\\=\frac{-3}{2x(x^2+5)}-\frac3{10x}+\frac3{10\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt5}+c\\=\frac{-3}{10x(x^2+5)}(5-x^2-5)+\frac3{10\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt5}+c\\=\frac{3x}{10(x^2+5)}+\frac3{10\sqrt5}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt5}+c$$

A: Put $x=\sqrt5\tan\theta$, thus,
$$\int\frac{3\sqrt5\sec^2\theta d\theta}{(5\tan^2\theta+5)^2}\\=\frac3{5\sqrt5}\int\frac1{\sec^2\theta}d\theta\\=\frac3{10\sqrt5}\int2\cos^2\theta d\theta\\=\frac3{10\sqrt5}\int(1+\cos2\theta)d\theta\\=\frac3{10\sqrt5}(\theta+\frac{\sin2\theta}2)+c\\=\frac3{10\sqrt5}(\theta+\frac{\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta})+c=\\\frac3{10\sqrt5}(\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt5}+\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt5}}{1+(\frac{x}{\sqrt5})^2})+c\\=\frac3{10\sqrt5}\left(\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt5}+\frac{\sqrt5x}{5+x^2}\right)+c$$

Clients expect friction-free service
Tahn SharpeJuly 31, 2018
Advice firms are increasingly being compared with big technology companies that are part of their clients' lives and will need to start adopting technology that smooths out the friction points in their process for consumers, Netwealth joint managing director Matt Heine has said.
Speaking at the Association of Financial Advisers' national practitioner roadshow event in Sydney, Heine defined friction as "anything that gets in the way of your customer or potential customer completing the job or activity they set out to achieve" and said "less friction is the new norm".
He explained that the world's biggest companies have managed to remove friction almost entirely from their processes – and that this was the standard by which clients now judge advice firms.
"Clients are no longer comparing us with other financial planners, and they're no longer comparing us with other financial institutions – they're comparing us with the world's biggest tech companies," Heine explained. "Our expectations are set by the last company we interact with, and the last company people interact with is likely to be Google or Facebook."
Heine – whose investment platform company floated in late 2017 with a valuation of more than $1 billion – is a noted fintech advocate and sees technology as the key to improving the advice process.
"There's a whole lot of technology we can be using to overcome these hurdles," he said.
Pain points and remedies
Heine identified specific areas of friction in the advice service cycle and some ways to alleviate them.
In the initial prospecting and discovery phases, he said, clients are being bombarded with too many complicated and invasive questions they aren't equipped to answer. While clients should be telling the advisers as much as possible about their circumstances and objectives, they often don't have the information to answer planner's queries, don't understand the question, or aren't comfortable responding.
"Think about the risk profile," Heine said. "How does the client possibly answer a question about how they'd feel if the market fell 20 per cent if they've never experienced it? We're asking them a bunch of questions they just don't understand, and they're embarrassed."
He suggested employing chatbots outside of clients meetings. He said these were easy to set up, could be "injected with personality", and had the advantage of living in the client's environment.
For the advice phase, Heine identified several ways that getting a Statement of Advice to a client could cause friction. The document could take too long to process, the strategies could be too confusing, and there could often be a frightening array of disclaimers, he said.
"Most advisers typically take somewhere between four and six weeks to deliver an SoA," Heine reckoned. "And the client has no idea; they're sitting there wondering why it's taking so long."
Heine pointed to next-generation SoA production tools, such as Nod – which he is personally invested in – that help advisers produce scaled advice documents quickly.
The implementation phase of advice is another that often leaves clients in the dark, he said. Once clients sign and send documents, "they don't know what happens from that point onwards", he said.
He also warned that digital ID adoption would need to increase, he said, or advice would fall behind the clients' other service experiences.
"A lot of people simply do not have printers these days," he said. "Yet, what do we do? We send them a bunch of emails and documents they have to print off, scan [sign] and return. Where do they do this? Officeworks?"
Heine argued that increased managed accounts usage would improve the client experience dramatically.
"From a friction perspective, one of the beauties of managed accounts is that clients aren't expected to constantly sign and understand RoAs and return paperwork," he explained. "From a business perspective, you're obviously not having to implement all those individual pieces of advice."
Omni-channel advice
The most important part of the advice journey, Heine argued, is engagement and education.
"This is where we can add significant value to our clients' lives," he said. "It's about helping them become more financially literate. How can we make it more interesting and engaging?"
Heine saw omni-channel advice as key to maintaining engagement levels. Advisers should be meeting clients where they are, he said, such as their phone, watch, or laptop – or in their car.
"We have to look at how we're going to stitch all these platforms together in one place," he said. "There are a plethora of ways that we can provide education to people."

More money, less new funds: SMSFs reshape
QSuper's Brad Holzberger: Betting on bonds
The shine may be wearing off SMSFs, but advisers should be encouraged by higher average balances and increased demand for services according to Merit Wealth's Garth McNally.
Risks in financial markets globally and at home in Australia are apparent, but their pathways to resolution are not. Experts share their views on navigating risk and return in a world where there's no longer a rule book.

A new report from Russell Investments says advice clients are on a pretty good deal, with the total value delivered exceeding fees charged by a considerable margin.

In a lot of cases, tablets are one of these items that we take with us to school, work, or even a friend's house to watch some movies on. Some of us require the best protection at an affordable cost – something that can protect our expensive devices from water, dust and the occasional knock. Lifeproof is a American company, based in San Diago, which creates products which do just that. Today I am taking a look at two cases, the nüüd and frē, both of which are boasted to offer you some of the best protection for iPad Airs, without compromising the user experience.
Essentially the two cases we are looking at today are pretty much the same, albeit with one major difference, which can effect the user experience quite significantly – the frē features a clear plastic membrane which covers the screen of iPad and the nüüd has a water tight seal around the glass, resulting in uninterrupted touch screen experience.
Both cases come in two attractive boxes, which have a hinge on the side allowing you see the cases through a plastic window. The nüüd case, has an extra graphic highlighting the lack of a protective screen over the touch panel – yet still remains waterproof.
Both cases come with a tool to open/close the cases, some screen wipes and a little guide on how to use the case. The nüüd also comes with a blue panel, which acts as part of a water tightness test kit – more on that later though.
The nüüd comes with a piece of moulded plastic, which you use as a test piece before using the case on your iPad.
Both cases have a black surround with a clear plastic back (and in the case of the fre – a clear plastic membrane on the front).
The camera has a special cover allowing you to use the camera even if submerged in water. The cases still allow you to access the buttons on the sides, the mute toggle and the lock/power button.
The the nüüd case has no plastic screen cover, instead it opts for a watertight seal around the glass front of the iPad. This rubber seal allows you to use the screen unhindered, whilst keeping the water/dust out.
Of course the only point of entry for water and dust is the home button, however this has been accounted for, by arranging the rubber seal around the home button as you can see below.
Both cases are very easy to fit, it simply clicks together and tightens with small clasps, which you use the tool for. The nüüd comes with a plastic mock iPad, which you can use to test out the water tightness of the case before putting your expensive iPad Air inside.
The standard plastic surround is very thick and has rubber edges, which help you grip the case when wet and add another level of drop protection. On the nüüd, there is slightly more of the front black surround, due to it covering the home button and it requiring more space to create the waterproof seal. The clear plastic back offers even more protection, whilst not interfering with the Apple logo – which people seem to hate doing and all the ports are covered from water ingress.
Both cases come with clear, simple instructions to assemble them, with both supplying a little tool to fit them. These cases are of course only tailored to the newer iPad Air, so it will not fit other cases. Having now used both cases out in the field, I have experienced both the positive and negative aspects of the cases. Let's start with the nüüd: I love how it offers complete protection from water and dust without impeding the feel of the touchscreen. Many covered screens seem to lose the nice smooth feeling to them. However, everything I chucked the iPad in my bag, I had to always make sure nothing was rubbing against the screen – afterall there is no protection whatsoever here – unlike on the frē. The case does not add too much weight, but adds a great deal of protection. My colleague was quite happy throwing my iPad across the room to test it's impact protection – and yes it survived without a scratch! Using the ports was required a little more effort, although this was nothing considering the case is almost bomb-proof.
I can admit it was very daunting at first, when I dropped the iPad into the bath – I had however tested the cases before, without the iPad inside. Both cases were great – not a molecule of water made it inside, although I must confess, I felt a lot happier with the frē, offering 100% coverage of the iPad.
Overall both the frē and the nüüd offer fantastic protection without compromising the look (and feel) of the iPad. At the end of the day it is down to your personal opinion over which case you prefer – with the nüüd having a bare screen. In my case, I felt a lot more comfortable using the nüüd's brother, as it had that extra bit of protection for the screen – no one likes scratches at the end of the day. I do love the concept of the nüüd however, and how it makes use of the already fantastic screen, to create a watertight seal. Price-wise, the nüüd comes in at $20 more than the frē ($109.99), which is most likely down to the extra manufacturing costs creating that watertight seal. I must point out, that there is an optional (+$39.99) portfolio-style screen cover, which can attach to either case to add further protection and a stand – perhaps this could make an ideal partner for the nüüd.

The New Norm Lunch Plate is one dining essential from a beautifully conceived dinnerware series by Norm Architects.
In 2011 Norm Architects designed a special series of dinnerware. A series that express the purity, simplicity and honesty so particularly characteristic of the Nordic way. It was their profound admiration of one of Denmark's most prominent painters, Vilhelm Hammershoi and the unique feel of the crisp and pristine Nordic winds which served as the main inspiration for the color palette of New Norm Dinnerware. The variations of colors, surfaces and compositions also tell stories of the changing seasons and the use of seasonal ingredients.
Norm Architects joined forces with Copenhagen restaurateurs Cofoco, to create a little piece of magic called Höst, a restaurant in the heart of Copenhagen encompassing everything "Nordic". Today restaurant Höst is a fine result of clashing romanticism and modernity, everything just fits into place to create a complex and inspiring feeling of something urban, yet rough and rural. Something rustic, but still simplistic.
In 2013 Höst won two prestigious awards, "Europe's Best Design Restaurant" and "World's Best Design Restaurant" and has since become a famous International gastro travel destination.
The New Norm Dinnerware is produced in Europe using the isostatic press technology and burned three times to improve durability. All products are produced in a state of the art European factory, specializing in high quality porcelain for restaurants and hotels, which means your plates and bowls will last.
Dishwasher safe, oven safe, microwave safe, resistant to love and so much more.

In a businessperson's wardrobe, as any image consultant will tell you, there is power in the "third piece," typically consisting of a jacket or blazer that lends authority to an ensemble and reads "professional." The November 2009 issue of Esquire magazine espouses a variation of this concept in its feature article "The Essential: The Third Watch." The article, targeted to the magazine's male readers, focuses on the image potential in a man's wardrobe of wristwatches.
The article characterizes the styles of wristwatches one is likely to find in a man's wardrobe, explains what distinguishes each style, and recommends what styles might be considered for future purchase. For anyone interested in understanding the inherent messages conveyed by various styles of watches, this article is well worth reading.
What to Avoid: Anything "gold," because "The most you'll get at these prices is gold plating, and since the thickness of plating is measured in microns, you're only a few dings away from the base metal." Instead, Esquire recommends plastic, aluminum or steel.
Illustration: Esquire Magazine's Examples of the Everyday Watch from Hamilton, Citizen, Oris, Raymond Weil, U-Boat, Longines and Movado.
While budgets may vary from the Esquire guidelines, a man who wants to be perceived as well-dressed will almost certainly pick up some excellent tips from the Esquire article.
While women's wardrobes are typically more extensive, more varied, and more nuanced in terms of colors and personality styles (just think of the variety in the typical woman's collection of shoes) than men's, there are excellent pointers a woman might also extrapolate from the article to help her determine what to look for in terms of features and quality when she is shopping for a wristwatch. For a powerful professional image, a woman, too, might well aspire to own a Third Watch, and maybe even a Fourth . . . or two.

Kehlani Comes Out From Hiding After 2 Years Of No Releases
Sydney Donahoe
Olivia Collins, Reporter
Kehlani's new album 'SweetSexySavage' climbed up the charts of the R&B world. 'SweetSexySavage' songs give her fans a nostalgic type of vibe. She's telling stories through her songs about relationships she's been through. The R&B world has kicked off with a positive start now that Kehlani has arrived and is stealing the spotlight.
'SweetSexySavage' opens up with a poem spoken by Reyna Biddy. "Into" is about women wanting to be understood and female empowerment, "The truth is, I'm a superwoman/ And some days I'm an angry woman/ And some days I'm a crazy woman." Throughout the album, short interludes are played in the beginning of her songs. It seems to be her family discussing love and mistakes they have made in the past. The small interludes are heartwarming and leaves you with a small smile.
After the intro, "Keep On" plays. The opening song is about the boyfriend giving Kehlani more love than she is giving him. "And you just keep takin' me back/ And I don't know why you do/ 'Cause I'm no good to you." The beat is played off well and is added with handclaps and snapping. The song is very simple and well performed. Kehlani is confused why he keeps taking her back when she feels as if she doesn't deserve it. In "Did U Dirty" Kehlani is having a one sided relationship with her man. Kehlani doesn't feel as if she's ready for a committed relationship because she's young and wants to experience more.
One of the hit songs in 'SweetSexySavage' is "Distraction." This song steals the spotlight from the album. The song talks about normal relationships she's had, which fits the theme of the album perfectly: "I need you to give me your time/ I need you to not wanna be mine." The beat has a laidback vibe, which pleases the audience's ears. The song is catchy and is unquestionably relatable to women. Although Kelani talks about her past relationships in 'SweetSexySavage' she also shows her fans she is a independent woman and doesn't need a relationship in "CRZY." This song gives a different vibe from the rest of the sounds. "CRZY" plays off a lot of attitude. She is showing confidence, saying that she is powerful without a man.
Kehlani wants to show her fans a different side of her that they are not used to. Kehlani wants her fans to relate to her songs by giving them an album filled with confidence, love, and vulnerability. 'SweetSexySavage' does a good job in achieving her goal.
Olivia Collins decided to give Outlook a try because she like to write and thinks that it would be fun. We asked Olivia if she were to write an article...

The study of metropolitan political economies in the United States has provided much of the intellectual inspiration for the research of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University. The readings collected in Polycentricity and Local Public Economies present an overview of the results of this research program on police services and metropolitan governance as well as enduring lessons for institutional analysis and public policy.
Polycentricity and Local Public Economies presents both explorations of broad general concepts and specific empirical analyses. The many interactions between the two modes of analysis provide valuable insights for the reader. Readings in the first section cover basic theoretical concepts and analytical distinctions that apply to the study of institutions generally. The second section includes conceptual pieces specifically addressed to the nature of governance in metropolitan areas, while section three reports on a series of empirical studies of police performance. Section four again broadens the focus to highlight the overall organization of local public economies. The final section discusses conceptual advances that have continuing relevance for research and policy debates.
Contributors include William Blomquist, Kathryn Firmin-Sellers, Roy Gardner, Dele Olowu, Elinor Ostrom, Vincent Ostrom, Amos Sawyer, Edella Schlager, Shui Yan Tang, Wai Fung Lam, and James S. Wunsch.

We've had amazing luck - perhaps more than we deserved - with the weather on this tour. Because we had pre-booked all our accommodation, we were committed to our longer rides on specific days, and because we'd been anticipating warm settled weather (as per expectations of everyone we met, including all the locals, who said that this September was very unseasonably cool and wet) we hadn't brought serious wet weather clothes with us. Had we found ourselves having to ride all day in the kind of weather we experienced on our sightseeing day in Beli (see my story "Caput Insulae"), we would have got very wet, cold and miserable indeed, and it would have been hard to argue that we weren't at fault in our planning.
Thus it was with some trepidation that we roused ourselves with our 05.30 alarm on Wednesday morning, even though the forecast suggested that the rain of the last 36hrs should be petering out about that time. Indeed, when we hauled our bikes out into the alleyway for loading, a little light rain was still in the air.
I was reminded of one of my late mother's favourite sayings: "Wenn Engel reisen, scheint die Sonne".
Our departure from Beli marked the turning point of our tour, geographically, emotionally and literally. It was our northernmost point and has only one access road; so to leave, we literally had to turn and retrace the route we had come by. It was the place with the most intense memories from our 1984 tour and subconsciously felt like our "destination", even though we hadn't explicitly planned it as such (and we spent longer in both Zadar and Mali Losinj). We had closed the loop on the kindness shown to us previously (see my story "Old Memories and New Friends"), and now it felt as though we were heading home.
As we steadily tackled the long climb to the main road on the ridge of the island, we were treated to ever wider and more dramatic views of the rising sun illuminating the dark waters of the sound between Cres and the other islands. Several photo stops were needed!
All the while as we climbed higher we were more exposed to the brisk north wind (forecast up to 50km/h) and worried whether we would have to cope with another wind shear event when we got to the ridge, like the one we struggled with on our very first ride of this tour.
In the event, the wind shear wasn't bad and the north wind blew us along nicely; with the downhill gradient too, there was no need to pedal for several miles - quite a bizarre feeling just sitting on the bike and letting it go by itself along a smooth and mostly straight road with minimal input from the rider - had to guard against losing concentration!
Soon we reached the 45° latitude monument, which we had passed in the opposite direction 2 days previously. Seemed like a good place for a coffee break!
All very relaxed - until I suddenly realised that we were running short of time to make it to the 10am ferry from the port at Merag - which wouldn't have been a disaster in itself, as there are several ferries a day on that route, but would have meant hurrying a bit more to reach our accommodation once we got to Rab island. So we put our "pedals to the metal" and made it to the ferry with 10mins to spare.
Above: ferry at Merag; below: panoramic view northwards along Cres island from the road approaching Merag ferry port.
The sun was fully out by the time we boarded and the sea was gleaming blue, though being kicked up in white horses as the wind was still blowing freshly. We decided to take sea-sickness tablets (probably unnecessarily, as it turned out) and sat in the most sheltered seats on the deck! This time we weren't the only cyclists aboard, being joined by another British couple who looked just like us with their touring bikes, mudguards and panniers; and a lone (clothed) German e-biker who was engaged in an epic tour all the way to Turkey - he'd even had a cycling jersey printed with all the countries he was planning to go through - and was keen to tell everyone all about it in minute detail. Although he was a nice enough fellow, after our early start we really just needed another coffee and a bit of peace and quiet to enjoy the view, so we extricated ourselves and left him regaling the other Brits. Sorry, chaps!
All the other cyclists were doing the same as us, taking back-to-back ferries from Cres island to Rab, with an hour's layover at Valbiska ferry port on Krk.
There's nothing at Valbiska except the ferry ramps, a filling station and two pizza restaurants, neither of which was actually serving pizza. This was a great shame, because even at 10.30am that's what I really fancied! We had been really enjoying all the authentic locally-sourced food, but sometimes only pizza hits the spot.
Same routine on the second ferry: sheltered seats, coffee, enjoy the view cruising through the islands. Lovely weather for it - although the wind was still whipping up the white horses, as you can see in the photo, and the cloud was starting to build up again. On arrival at Lopar, on the northern tip of Rab, our fellow cyclists hit the tarmac to ride the length of the island and catch yet another ferry - impervious to our blandishments that Rab is beautiful and they really ought to linger. We think they missed out big time, and so will you when you read our next day's blog post ("Feeling Fab on Rab") (which I actually wrote before this one!).
We, on the other hand, went in renewed search of pizza - successfully this time!
Rab island wasn't exactly filling us with wild enthusiasm at this point. The pizzeria we found had its view towards the sea obscured by a (largely deserted) holiday camp complex. The streets from the ferry port were dusty and utilitarian, and when we left after lunch to cycle to Rab town, we had more of the same, along with the trick we previously experienced near Zadar of building beautiful cycle lanes which then suddenly stop, leaving cyclists with nowhere to go. Plus, the cloud had come right over and was threatening more rain. We were keen to get to our Airbnb as soon as possible, have a shower and get some down time before a possible stroll out later.
Easy peasy. Click "get directions" in the Airbnb app and it opens Google Maps with a pin in the destination location. Get yourself to the pin, and the job's a good'un. Except that it wasn't. Couldn't find the house number - it fell in a gap between the numbers we could see. Rang the host's phone number, no reply. Cast around some side streets looking for numbers. Asked some locals. Blank on all fronts. Rain in the air, Caroline getting cold and miserable. Still no reply from host's phone.
There were three old geezers standing outside someone's garage smoking while one of them tweaked at a motorbike engine, and I went and asked them (can't actually remember what combination of languages were used!). They went into a long conference about this elusive house number and eventually gave me lengthy directions which involved going back down the horrendous hill, retracing to the main road we had left some minutes previously and continuing along it some distance. I was frankly sceptical about this advice, and reluctant to lose that height, as I felt that I had been "getting warm" with the numbers and might well end up having to go up it a second time! Faced with no other good options (except for booking us in somewhere else and claiming my money back from Airbnb - which I was within an ace of actually doing), and still getting no reply on the phone, I followed the directions and they were spot on. Kudos to those geezers!

It has been shown that neck muscle control/strength are linked with individuals with neck pain disorders. Research demonstrates that patients with neck pain exhibit increased EMG amplitude of the superficial sternocleidomastoid and anterior scalene muscles and reduce activation of the deep cervical muscles- Longus Colli and longus capitis (These are the 2 muscles we want to activate!) So how do we do this?
A lot of chin tucking!
Low load program of craniocervical flexion exercise (Aka Chin tucking) focusing on motor control and strength of the deep neck flexors has been shown through clinical trials to reduce Headache's as well!
Here are 3 exercises to help improve your neck strength & motor control to allow you to strengthen your neck out of pain.
The deep stabilizing muscles of the neck are equivocally important as the deep stabilizing muscles of the low back. Similar to how the big superficial muscles of the back can become too active with low back pain, the same principle can be applied to the neck. The upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, and scalenes are potential 'global' muscles that end up trying to do the job of the small stabilizing muscles, like the multifidi and longus colli.
CHECK OUT the small anatomy video clip in the bottom right where you can truly appreciate the number of layers of muscle in the neck region.
According to the Neck Pain: Clinical Practice Guidelines – it has been recommended with strong evidence for clinicians to consider cervical stabilization exercises. Demonstrated here is a great exercise to start out with. There are important tips to consider with these exercises.
4. Try it out, tag a friend or colleague, and remember less is more!
The first demonstration is an isometric exercise. Perform this by starting in a neutral spine, your head should be directly over your trunk. Push with your hand on one side of your head, followed by the opposite side. When giving a force with your hand make sure to resist this force by pushing back with your head while keeping it still. The force from your hand can go in all directions from the front or the back of the head.
The second demonstration is an exercise designed for training the Cervical spine/Neck extensors. It is important to AVOID neck flexion & maintain craniocervical spine alignment during this exercise. Both of these exercises will allow for more stabilization and better neck posture, reducing the notorious forward head posture. Both of these will assist in strengthening your neck out of pain.
It is important to note that there is NO need for heavy resistance, only about 20% of maximal voluntary contraction is needed when exercising the deep cervical muscles, to minimize the activity of the superficial larger neck muscles. This is especially important for those that have neck pain. The pain will actually inhibit these muscles from activating, therefore the low resistance will help control the deep neck muscles as well as having an immediate hypoalgesic effect compared to high-resistance exercises.
Here a great exercise for your patients with neck pain, especially those with whiplash-induced neck pain, that targets, not just the deep cervical flexors, but also the deep cervical extensors! Pay close attention to the cueing, as activation of the deep cervical extensors should be emphasized at selected spinal levels for the management of segmental dysfunction. In our opinion, within the rehabilitation community, there is TOO HEAVY OF A FOCUS on training the deep cervical flexors (longus colli and longus capitis). The CERVICAL EXTENSORS ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT FOR THE REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH NECK PAIN. The deep cervical extensors (semispinalis cevicis, multifus, and rotators) along with the cranio-cervical extensors (rectus capitis posterior major/minor and obliquus capitis superior/inferior) are KEY MUSCLES for cervical spine segmental support due to their relatively small moment arms, attachments to adjacent vertebrae, and high proportion (~70%) of slow twitch fibers.
– Non-uniform activation of different fascicles of the semispinalis muscles suggests that it may be possible to selectively activate different fascicles during exercise, ie targeting the site of greatest pain where structural or functional changes in the muscle may be more evident. When manual static resistance is applied to the vertebral arch of C2, the semispinalis cervicis (recorded at C3) was selected activated relative to the splenius capitis!
– The superficial cervical extensors typically showed increased activation in patients with neck pain, as well as delayed offset after activity. On the other hand, the deep cervical extensors show reduced activation.
In conclusion, start with low load exercises with the aim of inducing neurophysiological adaptations by specifically activating deeper muscles it the cervical spine. Then, progress to high-load exercises with the aim of inducing morphological adaptations in order to increase the strength and endurance of the selected muscles and movements. In addressing your neck pain, it is also important that you work on thoracic spine mobility in addition to scapula strengthening exercises.

John Evelyn (* 31. Oktober 1620 in Wotton (Surrey), Surrey; † 27. Februar 1706 ebenda) war ein englischer Autor, Architekt und Gartenbauer.

Leben
John Evelyns Familie war hauptsächlich mit der Produktion von Schießpulver reich geworden. Er wuchs in Lewes in Sussex auf. Seine Ausbildung erhielt er am Balliol College in Oxford und im Middle Temple. Während des Englischen Bürgerkriegs war er zunächst Angehöriger der Royalistischen Armee, dann verließ er das Land. 1647 heiratete er Mary Browne, Tochter des britischen Botschafters in Paris.

1652 ließen sich Evelyn und seine Frau in Deptford im Südosten Londons nieder.

Nach Wiederherstellung der Monarchie kam Evelyns Karriere in Gang. Ende 1660 gehörte er zu den ersten Mitgliedern der Royal Society. Im folgenden Jahr schrieb er das Fumifugium (The Inconveniencie of the Aer and Smoak of London Dissipated), das erste Buch über die wachsende Luftverschmutzung in London.

Er war bekannt für seine Kenntnis der Bäume und seine Abhandlung Sylva, or Discourse on Forest Trees (1664) schrieb er als Anregung für Landbesitzer, Bäume zu pflanzen, um die englische Flotte mit Bauholz zu versorgen. Nachauflagen erschienen noch zu seinen Lebzeiten.

Nach dem Großen Brand von London 1666, den er in seinen Tagebüchern ausführlich beschrieb, legte Evelyn einen von mehreren Plänen  für den Wiederaufbau von London vor, der wie die anderen von König Karl II. ignoriert wurde. Evelyn entwarf Lustgärten, wie z. B. den von Euston Hall. Er schrieb über Theologie, Politik, Gartenbau, Architektur und Kochkunst. Bei seinem Tod umfasste seine Bibliothek 3.859 Bücher und 822 Broschüren. Viele waren einheitlich gebunden und trugen sein Motto Omnia explorate; meliora retinete (Prüfet alles und das Bessere behaltet, 1. Thessalonicher 5,21).

1694 ging er zurück nach Wotton, weil sein älterer Bruder keine Söhne als Erben für den dortigen Familienbesitz hatte, John jedoch hatte bereits einen Enkel. Er vermietete den Besitz 1698 für drei Monate an Zar Peter I. (Russland), der großen Schaden in Haus und Garten anrichtete.

John und Mary Evelyn hatten acht Kinder: Richard (1652–1658), John Standsfield (1653–1654), John (1655–1699), George (1657–1658), Richard (1664), Mary (1665–1685), Elizabeth (1667–1685) and Susanna (1669–1754). Nur Susanna überlebte ihre Eltern.

Evelyn starb 1706 in seinem Haus in der Dover Street, London. Seine Frau Mary starb drei Jahre später. Beide sind in der Evelyn Chapel der St. Johns-Kirche in Wotton begraben. Ihre Schädel wurden von Unbekannten gestohlen.

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has developed a panoramic 360 degree Wide Area Surveillance System which would give armoured vehicle crews enhanced situational awareness, whilst allowing them to remain safely under armour.
The wide area surveillance system provides a 360 degree view of the scene around a vehicle as well as the locations of threats or targets in combat situations whilst the gunner, driver and commander are safe inside their armoured vehicle.
The system allows for the elimination of windows, which are often the weakest point in armour and, according to the CSIR, almost allow the crew to see through metal.
The system can operate by day and night on both land and on maritime vessels.
The surveillance system uses proprietary camera calibration techniques and stitching algorithms to fuse data into the output view. The calibrated cameras compensate for wide-angle lens distortion that occurs in standard camera visuals and procures a panoramic real-time stitch of the scene that is geometrically accurate.
Overlapping adjacent views can be stitched together to create a high-resolution, wide field of view image. Overlapping visual and thermal frames can also be fused into a visual/thermal composite output.
Algorithms used in the stitching of images are patented and part of the novel camera calibration that is part of what distinguishes the CSIR product from similar offerings, the Council said.
Regarding applications, the CSIR said the main users would be the army and for maritime users it provides 360 degree day and night optical surveillance that complements radar for detecting wooden pirate boats and other surface threats, thereby eliminating close range blind spots around large vessels.
The system would also be of value to operators of cash-in-transit services for improved situational awareness around vehicles without adversely compromising the protection offered by vehicle armour.
The CSIR is looking for partners to industrialise the system and is also aiming at the South African military – the South African Army's future Badger infantry combat vehicle, for example, uses several different cameras rather than a single panoramic one and could be a good candidate for the vehicle.
