Get your business off to a great start this financial year!
The 2016-17 financial year seemed to have been and gone before we knew it. How did your business perform? Did you reach your targets?
The 2016-17 financial year seemed to have been and gone before we knew it. How did your business perform? Did you reach your targets? Now that we've started a fresh year, it provides the perfect opportunity to dedicate time to reviewing your business plan and performance. Below we've highlighted just a few topics to get you started. Spend time on these now for the best possible financial year ahead!
It's important to plan the year ahead to ensure that your business has the cash to sustain it throughout the course of the year. A cash flow forecast can give you a bit of insight into where you think your business can be, whilst giving you an idea of when those big bills (BAS payments, insurance renewals, tax payments etc) are coming. With that information, you can have an idea of what your business can potentially spend money on in the new year, whilst giving you an idea of how profitable you will be. Online accounting software such as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks provide a great basis for a cash flow forecast, since data is based on actual figures, available in real-time.
You have so many options as a business owner, with regards to the right business structure for you. The start of the new year presents a great time to reassess your goals, and see if the structure you are currently in is still appropriate for you. Throughout the lifespan of a business, there is often a need to move from one structure (such a sole trader business setup) to another (like a company). This is especially important now, as recent changes to tax legislation has made it less costly to move between structures. Often these changes lead to protection of your personal assets, as well as reduced tax obligations so it's worth considering your options.
Every business owner should have goals. Your business plan can help you map a path to achieving those goals. Your goals don't all have to be financial in nature. Maybe you are looking to spend more time at home, or even exit the business in the near future. A good business plan will not only address your goals, but also give you guidance when making big decisions throughout the course of the year. Assess what's worked this past year, and what could do with some attention going forward.
We hope that's got you thinking about your business plan, and given you a few topics to consider straight away. Spend time with your team to gain insights from difference perspectives on your business performance and what you'd like to achieve going forward. If you need any assistance, our accounting team are just a phone call away. Contact them for a complimentary consultation today, on 08 6444 6645.

Rolling sustainably through Zurich: VBZ case study
Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland is known as a global financial capital. Nestled at the north end of Lake Zurich with picturesque views over Europe's highest mountain range in the distance.
In 2016 Zurich was named the 'greenest 'city on the planet and since then the local authorities have been making further headway in establishing policies aimed at reducing its impact on the natural world around the metropolitan area.
It is, therefore, no surprise that Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ) who is the public transport operator in Zurich operating trams, trolleybuses, traditional buses and a funicular, has been exploring and implementing sustainable technologies in within its vehicles for years.
Back in 2018 VBZ had a novel idea to turn one of their hybrid buses into a travelling market research platform and let the public decide the new material for seating upholstery. The bus seats were split between austere wooden seats, traditional fabric upholstery synonymous with buses and a novel material that looks and feels like leather called ELeather.
The final choice was ELeather. The population of Zurich appreciated that it was a more hygienic choice than fabric which accumulates dust and dirt and more comfortable than a simple wooden seat, especially on a longer ride.
But what the locals didn't necessarily know is that ELeather has been a choice that not only benefitted them but also the planet. It's made with waste leather that would otherwise be sent to landfill manufactured in an environmentally friendly way in Europe.
People of Zurich can travel on public transport with clear conscience knowing that VBZ not only have their customers but also the planet's best interest at heart.
Recycled leather: durable, clean, efficient
Public decision to use ELeather upholstery was welcomed at the VBZ HQ since it offers multiple additional benefits in the manufacturing stages of public transport seating. The material is produced on a roll with a consistent quality throughout which allows for stack cutting and reduces waste.
Once on the bus, it is easy to maintain with regular light cleaning that, unlike fabrics, avoids a build up of dust and dirt overtime and reduces the need to remove and dry clean the covers meaning vehicles stay operational at all times.
ELeather is also one of the most durable materials on the market. The fact that it can remain on an in-service but for over a decade without bagging and sagging means operators such as VBZ don't have to install new upholstery as often reducing cost and environmental impact further.
Future is electric
The City of Zurich has set itself the goal to bring direct greenhouse gas emissions in the metropolitan area to net zero by 2040 with a reduction of at least 50% of the 1990 levels in 2030. This means VBZ is focusing on electrifying their fleet by 2030 and the company has recently announced purchase of 15 new electric buses.
Should ELeather be the material of choice for those vehicles, its lightweight properties will help towards overall weight reduction of the vehicle therefore increasing its range on a single charge.
In the meantime, 19 hybrid buses are already operating in the city with ELeather upholstery bringing comfort and hygiene for the passengers, lower environmental impact for the planet and production efficiencies for VBZ.

All sorts of sensations have been reported, including aches or prickling feelings that fade quickly – or nothing at all. I personally have felt a "buzzing" or vibration that extend from the acupuncture point to other areas of my body, as well as flashes of heat or little jolts that feel like faint electrical impulses. Some points (and patients) are more sensitive than others. It's important to note that any sensation that comes from the needle insertion is quite transitory. My patients – even the ones who are afraid of needles – find that acupuncture treatments are overall deeply relaxing and have reported feelings of relaxed heaviness of the body and lightness of the mind.
Why should I choose to see you rather than go to a doctor?
If you are experiencing acute or chronic symptoms that cause you concern, you absolutely should go to a doctor. I would never discourage anyone from seeking medical care or taking prescribed medicine. I am happy to treat people who are already under the care of a physician, and in fact, many doctors refer their patients to acupuncturists as a supplement to their own care. I will also refer any patient to a physician if I have concerns about them that are best addressed by that paradigm.
On the other hand, many patients do not have health insurance or have personal reasons or beliefs that prevent them from seeking Western medical care. Acupuncture is generally a much less expensive and less invasive treatment.
Further, as an acupuncturist and a healer, I don't focus narrowly on symptoms, but rather assess the whole person and recognize how every aspect of living can contribute to disease, not merely cellular mechanics. Nonetheless, I am able to make sense of symptoms that don't seem connected to anything and address symptoms that doctors don't know how to treat because they have not yet progressed to the level of pathology.
I listen deeply and am able to spend enough time with you that you feel truly heard and understood. I am able to help you connect the dots on how your habits directly affect how you feel every day, and I teach you what I know about natural laws to help you make good choices and live well.
Significantly, unlike a doctor, who must usually add something to your body from the outside (via pill or injection) and affect a change in chemistry to address your symptoms, I stimulate your body's natural ability to heal itself. Acupuncture needles are only as thick as a hair and quite flexible, but they are solid surgical steel. There is nothing "inside" them that gets injected into you, and they are not coated with any medicine. The medicine, rather, is a part of you, and the needles are just helping it get stronger and directing it where it needs to go.
And perhaps most importantly, I don't dismiss concerns that I don't understand as being "all in your mind." Yes, because of my foundation in mind-body medicine, I know that issues may indeed spring from that level. However, I also believe that, like the warning lights on a car dashboard, all symptoms, body and mind, show up for a reason – usually as a reminder or teacher of some way of living or wisdom that will ease your suffering and promote full living – and I am willing to make that journey of understanding with you, every step of the way.
What kinds of symptoms can acupuncture treat?
And sometimes, people who seek acupuncture are just looking to feel better in general or wish to prevent illness down the line.
Truly, there are very few bodily, mental, or emotional symptoms that can't benefit from acupuncture treatment because this medicine is based on strengthening the system of the whole person, from the core outward. The origins of acupuncture in ancient Chinese cosmology show how all parts of our lives interrelate and function as a whole. This is why people who come in with one complaint notice that numerous other symptoms are helped in the same treatment.
What specific kinds of pain can you lessen?
Acupuncture can be very effective on many forms of bodily pain, both chronic and acute. I have successfully treated migraines and other headaches, upper and lower backaches, neck and shoulder pain, knee pain, arthritis, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, digestive pains, tendonitis, sinus pain, and others. Acupuncture can also help with faster healing from breaks and other injuries (while also treating their associated pains).
How will acupuncture improve my life?
In addition to addressing the "roots and branches" (that is, the underlying imbalance as well as the symptoms that are showing up), you may also notice that you get sick less often and recover more quickly, and find you have more energy and stamina. You might even end up spending a lot less money on doctors in the long run. It is important to note that all effects of acupuncture (or any modality) are magnified by making the lifestyle changes that may be called for by your specific symptoms.
The ancient Chinese developed acupuncture as a way of manipulating the vital life force, which they called "qi." According to that system, qi moving in the body could become depleted, get stuck, or move where it wasn't supposed to – much the same way a river can dry up or get blocked or flood – causing disease. They identified points that would cause this qi to move more regularly, and thus the disease was healed.
Today, after having been observed by Western science for a hundred years, there are many different theories for what is going on when we insert our needles. Some researchers believe that what happens is a biomechanical reflex, much like what happens when the doctor taps your knee with a hammer: a point is stimulated, and it has a nonlocal effect. Some describe acupuncture as affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Still others ascribe the results as an effect of the body's electrical or nervous systems, or a reaction to the muscle fascia to insertion of the steel. Indeed, I have seen hypotheses that support these explanations and others.
I have an Doctor of Acupuncture (D.Ac.) degree from the Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly known as Tai Sophia Institute, where I received my Master of Acupuncture Degree) and am a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in the state of Maryland. I have also completed a Diplomate of Acupuncture (Dipl.Ac.), a rigorous national board certification, from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Previously, I owned two retail stores dedicated to healthy living and environmentally friendly homes, and I am a partner in a café called Charmington's that serves natural foods and beverages. My other degrees are a B.A. from the Johns Hopkins University and an M.A. from the University of Baltimore.
Great care is taken to make an acupuncture appointment as relaxing, comfortable, and effective as possible!
During your first visit, which is two hours long, we will discuss at length at length your symptoms, history, and goals. Because acupuncture is a holistic medicine, this may involve asking about seemingly unrelated aspects of your life. This information is used to craft treatments that are especially appropriate for you personally, addressing the symptoms you are currently concerned about, symptoms it never would have occurred to you to mention, and potential issues that might be prevented in the future. If you fill out your new patient paperwork in advance, this can be a relatively quick process so we have more time for the acupuncture treatment.
You will also be given the opportunity to ask any questions or state any concerns that are on your mind. Always keep in mind that my treatment room is a safe, judgement free zone where you are held in the highest regard. Don't feel embarrassed to bring up anything that you feel is relevant to your comfort or healing. You will always be met with deep listening, appreciation, and respect.
Next is a brief physical exam, including the feeling of pulses and examination of the tongue. These help diagnose the overall state of your body, corroborate any preliminary theories about your symptoms, and provide more guidance about which is the right treatment for you.
Then comes the acupuncture itself. You will be asked to lie comfortably on a treatment table and roll up any sleeves and pant legs (so wear loose clothes). Sometimes I will also need access to your back or torso. Very fine, sterile, single-use needles will be used to stimulate the appropriate points. The insertion can go as slowly as you like to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Often, once the needles are in, I will ask you to test the area of pain or gauge your mood to see if there have been any immediate changes.
Once the needles are inserted, you will lie with them retained for some period of time. The temperature and lighting can be adjusted to aid your relaxation. You may also watch the peaceful aquatic life in the nearby fish tank or listen to the calming music of your choice. I will leave the room to let you rest peacefully, but you will be given a buzzer to call me back if necessary.
After a period of time, the needles will be removed and I will feel the pulses again to gauge if the treatment achieved our goals. We will talk about how to monitor the results until we see each other again so I can gauge how successful it was and adjust future treatment planning accordingly. I will also provide any wellness coaching necessary to optimize your results.
In follow-up visits, which are one hour long, we will check in at the beginning for ten or fifteen minutes before proceeding to the acupuncture treatment. Once again, I will check your pulses and tongue, insert the needles, and let you rest comfortably.
You very well might. Of course, it depends upon what your symptom is, how long you've had it, how much rest and nutrition you get, how old you are, and a number of other factors. Some results are instantaneous, and most take a little longer.
It is important to note that acupuncture is generally a cumulative therapy. Each treatment supplements the last and prepares you for the next. Like most medicine, it is not something you take once and are cured forever; healing is steady natural process over time.
Usually, after we get ahead of the symptoms with frequent early visits, appointments can be spaced out further in a plan we mutually agree on. Often, it is every two weeks for a while, then once every month, then maybe five or six times a year for maintenance. Very often, a patient will enjoy acupuncture so much that he or she will continue to come once or twice a month.
An increasing number of insurance plans do cover acupuncture. I currently am an in-network provider for BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Aetna, and JHU EHP. If your insurance is not one of those plans, I can still process your claims if you have out-of-network coverage for acupuncture.
Note that not all plans cover acupuncture, and some cover it as treatment only for specific conditions. Copay amounts and deductibles vary according to your specific plan.
It is important for you to send your insurance information before your appointment so we can verify your benefits. You are responsible for all payments not covered by your insurance company.
Absolutely. I strictly follow HIPAA privacy protocols and keep your records under lock and key at all times. Outside of private conferences with any healthcare specialists you specifically permit, I am legally and ethically bound never to mention what you tell me to any other person, or even to acknowledge to an outside party without your permission that I am treating you at all. (Only in very rare cases in which I learn about planned harm to self or others may I break these ethical bonds to inform the proper authorities.) Our relationship is therapeutic, fully private, and completely nonjudgemental at all times!
Besides acupuncture, what other techniques do you use?
Part of my acupuncture background involves wellness coaching, which helps me empower you to be your own "primary care provider" by listening to the messages of your body and making informed choices about your habits and lifestyle.
Moxibustion is a centuries-old partner to acupuncture in which the herb mugwort (Artemesia argyi) is safely and painlessly warmed or burned on certain acupuncture points. This is often done to enhance certain effects of acupuncture treatments.
I also employ other Chinese medical techniques when appropriate, such as cupping (the use of strong suction on the body, usually down the back) and gua sha (light scraping of the flesh in strategic locations with a smooth surface) to release tension, break blockages, and stimulate the immune system.
Lastly, to enhance the experience, I may employ modern technology, such as a BioMat.
All patients may request the use of the BioMat, which is a specialized acupuncture table pad, filled with crushed amethysts and tourmaline. Using heat, far infrared technology, and negative ions, this high-tech device can help improve comfort, the circulation of blood and lymph, and feelings of well-being. It is also indicated for temporary relief of body pains and muscle tension. BioMat appears to help potentiate acupuncture treatments so, over time, they are more effective and last longer. Many of my patients swear by its cumulative effects, and even just as a table warmer it provides a more enjoyable experience.

5 Lessons Allie Kieffer Learned After a Tough Year
A DNF at the NYC Marathon and a new injury afterward have added to her challenges—but she's determined to overcome them.
By Cindy Kuzma
Chris Coduto
Heading into the New York City Marathon this November, Allie Kieffer knew the race wouldn't pan out the way she'd originally hoped.
The West Islip, Long Island, native—who placed a surprise fifth in New York in 2017 with a 2:29:39, and improved her personal best to 2:28:12 to place seventh last year—once had her sights set on a podium spot. But five weeks before the race, a hamstring strain caused her to lose about three weeks of training.
Jepkosgei Stuns With Incredible NYC Win
Once she arrived in New York, her foot started hurting, as if she'd tied her shoes too tight. (An MRI she sought the day after the race would reveal a new setback: a stress reaction in her navicular bone, on the top of her right foot.)
Kieffer started the race predicting she wouldn't finish. She dropped out just before mile 12, not because of pain from either injury, but because her legs burned and she knew she wouldn't be able to make the whole distance, she told Runner's World after the race.
"I was moving toward the future, thinking, 'What's plan B in this scenario?'" she said. Eventually, she calculated, each step she ran took her farther from her ultimate goal: a good race at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta in February, and a long career in running afterward.
The race and the new diagnosis cap off a year of transition and obstacles for Kieffer. She moved from Colorado to Austin, Texas; parted ways with two coaches (Brad Hudson and Jeff Cunningham); and became self-coached. She crossed just two finish lines: She won the Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Half Marathon in January with a 1:13:34, and ran 1:12:43 to place fourth in the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Half on June 2.
Many of Kieffer's plans—including finishing the Road to Gold 8-mile race in March and the Boilermaker 15K in July, racing a 10K on the track in July, and pacing 16 miles of the Chicago Marathon in October—were thwarted due to illness, injury, or logistical snafus.
As she considers her next steps, she's using her recent setbacks as lessons. With the Trials looming and two contracts expiring next year, she faces plenty of questions. But the adversity, she said, has only fueled her to figure out the answers. Here's some of what she's learned.
Transparency lightens her burden.
For a while during this tumultuous year, Kieffer stayed more quiet than usual in public and on social media. But once the severity of her hamstring injury became apparent, she told the New York Road Runners and her family. Two weeks after her diagnosis, she posted about it on Instagram.
"I didn't want to pretend everything was fine and then afterward be like, 'Oh, I dropped out because I've had a hamstring injury for five weeks,'" she said. "That just didn't make sense to me."
Being honest about her situation instantly relieved pressure to perform, she said. Her family could choose whether to cheer her with the full knowledge she might not finish (her mom and the family she used to nanny when she lived in New York City, among others, came out to support her).
What's more, the candor allowed her to shift her mindset toward recovery. "Once I let go and was like, 'Yeah, I am injured,' I wasn't so stressed about being injured anymore," she said. "I just kind of let go of that and tried to figure out how to heal."
Strangers can be kind.
Kieffer has dealt with her fair share of negativity, with critics commenting on everything from her body size to her relationship with Hudson. But in her recent moments of vulnerability, she's felt support when she needed it most.
In some cases, that assistance was practical. When she dropped out of New York at mile 12, she knew she'd have to wait a long time for the sweeper van. So, she began walking back along the course toward a subway station.
A fan recognized her and asked if she was okay, and agreed to swipe her into the train in exchange for a selfie. Sitting awkwardly in her racing clothes, she took the G train back to Central Park, watched the leaders and the top Americans cross the finish line, then headed to the New York Athletic Club to reunite with her family.
Her social media posts about her setbacks have also netted her virtual encouragement. When she's honest—for instance, about dropping out of the race—her more than 60K followers offer "massive good vibes" to carry her through, she said.
"I use my Instagram kind of as a journal entry and people have been really receptive in a positive way," she said. "I think because I've shared my emotions and my feelings about everything, people like me not just when I'm running fast. There's more depth to the story."
Bad races can still serve a purpose.
Once Kieffer realized she wouldn't be competitive in New York, she debated not running at all. She even told the New York Road Runners to consider not buying her plane ticket. When they flew her out anyway, she adjusted her goal and her mindset. She channeled gratitude for the opportunity, determined to enjoy the roar of the crowds and the energy of the city regardless of how she felt or performed in the race.
Deena Kastor on How to Recover From a Bad Race
In addition, she practiced fueling, strategy, and other elements that would make for a successful race in Atlanta in February. "I still feel like a newbie at the marathon," she said. She's only trained for three, and completed two, at a high level.
In New York, she refreshed her memory about the details, such as how to best approach the fluid stations and have patience not to go with the lead pack. "You need to make instinct decisions when you're in it and I don't think you can get that from just watching on the sidelines or on TV," she said.
She's in need of balance, in more ways than one.
The new stress reaction is in her right foot, the same one in which she's sustained stress fractures before. She's sought treatment from many different clinicians, but has yet to find a fix that sticks.
This time, Kieffer is hoping not only to heal her bone—which will likely require at least three weeks of no running—but also to truly address the underlying imbalances causing her repeated injuries. Next, she's on her way to the Michael Johnson Performance Center, near Dallas, for an evaluation. From there, she'll decide exactly where and how to pursue treatment.
[Stay injury free on the road by getting on the mat with Yoga for Runners.]
In addition to correcting her physical alignment, Kieffer plans to round out the rest of her life with other sources of fulfillment and income. "If I get back to training but my life isn't balanced with it, I'll just have unnecessary stress," she said.
She's grateful for the support of sponsors who have stuck with her during this trying year—Asics could have reduced her payments per their contract, but didn't, she said. However, given the unpredictable trajectory of an athlete, she knows the future isn't guaranteed. Her contract with Oiselle runs through the Trials unless she places in the top six, in which case it's extended through the year. Her Asics deal lasts through 2020.
Kieffer already coaches a few athletes online, and aims to expand that business. Not only would this take some of the financial pressure off, it will provide her a path forward. Eventually, she'd like to coach at the collegiate level.
"My takeaway from this year is that you can try your hardest, but really have no success out of it," she said. "Having something I knew that I was working toward—and that I could control if I was working toward or not—might calm me down a little bit."
She's more passionate about running than ever.
At one point, Kieffer thought making the Olympic team—or at least doing well at the Trials—would determine whether she stuck with the sport. What she's learned about herself during this trying year is that even if injury keeps her from the starting line in Atlanta, she's not ready to call it quits.
7 Secrets for Making a Comeback to Running
Taking a longer-term view will guide her next steps. While she's determined to "do whatever it takes to be able to run healthy and fast again," she said, that doesn't include steps that will imperil her long-term health. "I don't feel this pressure to make an impossible thing happen or to run through a broken foot."
Whether it requires part-time employment, another move, or an entirely different approach, Kieffer said she'll stick with it. "I'm going to figure out how to make it work," she said. "I've always figured out a way to do what I want to do, and I want to be running."

If you are confident about yourself and wear what you love, you will exude a style of your own.
Everything happening around me is very random. I am enjoying the phase, as the journey is far more enjoyable than the destination.
I realised quite early that by the time I articulate my thoughts into words, I'm on to another thought. And what comes out wasn't what I thought of exactly. So not talking was a better option.
For me, the opposite of happiness isn't sadness but boredom.
I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.
I am learning the importance of living in the moment.
A man should definitely own a couple of blue denims, white crew neck T-shirt, a versatile blazer, comfortable pair of boxers, and coloured sneakers.
The best thing is to accept the circumstances, not take them personally, deal with them, stop complaining, and give everything your best.
You can't make two films at the same time.
I've stopped taking myself seriously because now I understand how fickle my thoughts are.
I love layering with great fitting jackets.
If you spend time with your loved ones, you get the energy to do your job better.
Instead of sounding pretentious, phony, or repetitive, I'd rather not speak.
Everything that is somehow related to direction and filmmaking fascinates me, like cinematography.
Bringing out your vulnerable side and shedding your privacy in front of complete strangers is so very difficult, but when you are into the performance, the relief and release is so extraordinary that you get addicted.
I remember when the results of the All India Engineering exams came out. I ranked 7th. I even got a scholarship. But it was during the sixth semester of my engineering course that I decided to call it quits and pursue acting seriously.
I was the youngest child and the only son. I was expected to shine in academics. It seemed like too big a risk to take up cricket as a career. I thought I had to live up to my family's expectations. So I chose to be an engineer.
Whatever dream you have, be sure that it is going to be happen, and then forget about it. Then you have to come back to the present and be there 100 percent.
I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That's when I realized that excitement, if it's happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.
Along with some of my college friends, I would often bunk classes and drive to Murthal, which is about 50 km from New Delhi, just to have some piping hot parathas. There was this small roadside dhaba where they would serve absolutely delicious aloo parathas with dollops of butter.
Things are difficult for outsiders in the industry, and it is very evident, too. It does not mean that insiders have it easy or that it's impossible for outsiders to break in. More often than not, the difference is about how successes and failures are viewed and magnified.
I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.
I was a studious child, heavily into academics. For the longest time, I wouldn't talk.

This is a very simple tutorial describing how to animate a ball or a wheel rolling down an irregular path. It was devised by my in answer to a need for a car which could drive around corners but still have the wheels rotate accordingly. I assume you know a fair amount about MAX and won't bother explaining every little detail.
1. Create a sphere, and add a checked diffuse map to it.
Make sure the map is displayed in the view port (click on the little rubix cube like icon in the material's editor).
2. Convert the radius to a linear float controller.
Open the track view window (see above), find the controller for the sphere's radius and assign a linear float controller to it. This enables us to access this number in our expression later on.
In the top view draw a simple S-curve (as above). Now go to the tools tab and select 'measure' from the utilities panel, select the path and you'll notice it gives you the length in units of the spline. Make a note of this number as you'll need it later.
In the motion tab assign the sphere to follow the path you've created. Make sure you select 'follow' so that the sphere orientates itself to the path.
Just as you did for radius controller in step 2, assign a Eular controller to the rotation controller of your sphere.
Travelled - controller - assigned to the path. percent controller within the sphere position controller.
Radius - controller - assigned to sphere linear float radius.
Length - constant - type in the length of your path.
Now click play and your sphere should roll along the path. You can experiment with pulling the path controller curve around, making the ball roll back on itself or rest at any point.
Remember if you change the spline around you'll have to re enter the length to the length controller.
If anyone knows a way of dynamically reading out the length of the spline I'd be very interested to know.

Robert "Bobby" Francis Convey (* 27. Mai 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) ist ein US-amerikanischer Fußballspieler. Zu seinen Stärken des linken Mittelfeldspielers gehören eine überdurchschnittliche Schnelligkeit, seine Kreativität im Spielaufbau und eine gute Ballbehandlung.

Sportlicher Werdegang
Convey besuchte die Penn Charter High School und gehörte dann dem ersten Jahrgang der Bradenton Academy, einer renommierten Fußballschule in Bradenton, Florida, an, in dem sich auch seine späteren Nationalmannschaftskollegen Landon Donovan und DaMarcus Beasley befanden. Gemeinsam führten sie im Jahr 1999 die U-17-Auswahl der US-amerikanischen Nationalmannschaft zu einem vierten Platz bei der FIFA U-17-Weltmeisterschaft in Neuseeland. Convey, der als 15-Jähriger während der Qualifikation der jüngste jemals eingesetzte Spieler in der U-17-Qualifikation war, kam in allen sechs Spielen des Turniers zum Einsatz und schoss für diese Mannschaft in insgesamt 43 Partien 19 Tore.

Der linke Flügelspieler, der außerdem als Außenverteidiger agieren kann, gelangte ein Jahr später über das Draftingsystem in die Major League Soccer (MLS) zu DC United und war damit zu diesem Zeitpunkt der jüngste Spieler in der Geschichte der MLS. Ursprünglich sollte Convey in dieser Saison hauptsächlich in dem sogenannten Project-40-Team, einer von dem Unternehmen Nike gesponserten Mannschaft der MLS und des US-amerikanischen Fußballverbands United States Soccer Federation (USSF), spielen, musste dann jedoch bei seinem Verein einspringen, als dieser in der Meisterschaft schwache Leistungen zeigte. Er kam dadurch noch auf 20 Spiele für United, wobei er bei 18 Partien von Beginn an auflief. Er debütierte am 25. März 2000 bei der 0:4-Heimniederlage gegen Los Angeles Galaxy im Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium und kam am 3. Mai bei dem 1:2 auswärts gegen Columbus Crew zum ersten Starteinsatz. Es dauerte jedoch noch bis zum Spiel am 3. Mai gegen die Colorado Rapids, bis er mit einer Flanke auf Raúl Díaz Arce zu seiner ersten Torvorlage kam. Größere Aufmerksamkeit erarbeitete sich Convey dann bei einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen den englischen Premier-League-Verein Newcastle United, der sich innerhalb seiner Saisonvorbereitung in den USA aufhielt. Am 25. Oktober 2000 kam er gegen Mexiko zu seinem ersten Länderspiel und wurde durch seine Einwechselung in der Nachspielzeit zum damals drittjüngsten Spieler, der jemals in der US-amerikanischen Nationalmannschaft eingesetzt wurde.

Am 7. April 2001 erzielte er gegen die Kansas City Wizards sein erstes Tor in der MLS und war dabei zu diesem Zeitpunkt erneut der jüngste Spieler in der Ligageschichte, dem dies gelang. Während der Saison plagten ihn jedoch Verletzungen, so dass er nur zu 12 Meisterschaftsspielen kam. Im gleichen Jahr wurde er zudem für die Junioren-Fußballweltmeisterschaft nominiert und stand in allen vier Begegnungen für die Vereinigten Staaten auf dem Platz.

Ab 2002 führte Convey die U-20-Auswahl als Mannschaftskapitän an, qualifizierte sich mit dem Team für die Endrunde in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten im darauf folgenden Jahr und wurde zum besten US-Nachwuchssportler des Jahres gewählt. Bei der Junioren-Weltmeisterschaft im Jahr 2003 gelangte die Auswahl der Vereinigten Staaten bis ins Viertelfinale und unterlag dort dem Team aus Argentinien.

Nach zehn Spielen für DC United in der Anfangsphase der Saison unterschrieb Convey am 22. Juli 2004 einen Vertrag beim FC Reading, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt in der Football League Championship – der zweithöchsten englischen Profiliga – spielte. In England konnte er sich jedoch zunächst nicht durchsetzen, kam aber in der A-Nationalmannschaft seines Landes in diesem Jahr zu insgesamt neun Einsätzen. Während der Saison 2005/06 steigerte sich Conveys Form deutlich und er wurde daraufhin mit häufigen Einsätzen in der Startformation belohnt. Seine ersten Tore konnte er beim 5:0-Sieg gegen den FC Millwall beisteuern. Es folgte der Aufstieg des FC Reading in die Premier League. 2006 nahm Convey an der Weltmeisterschaft in Deutschland teil und wurde in allen drei Spielen der USA eingesetzt.

Seine erste Saison in der obersten englischen Profiliga verlief unglücklich. Nach einer Knieverletzung, die schließlich eine Operation notwendig machte, endete für ihn die Saison bereits im Oktober 2006. Erst in der darauffolgenden Saison kehrte er wieder zurück und kam regelmäßig zum Einsatz.

Am 6. Februar 2009 einigten sich Convey und Reading auf die Auflösung seines Vertrags. Vier Tage später unterzeichnete er bei den San José Earthquakes in der Major League Soccer., wo er am 11. April 2009 sein erstes Tor für die Quakes erzielte. Die Besonderheit war, dass er zum ersten Mal seit sechs Jahren auf der Position des linken Abwehrspielers spielte.

Nach einem Zerwürfnis mit Trainer Frank Yallop erklärte Convey im November 2011, nicht in der kommenden Saison für San José spielen zu wollen. Er wechselte daraufhin zu Sporting Kansas City.

Sonstiges
 Conveys Sehfähigkeit auf dem linken Auge ist aufgrund einer Schädigung des Sehnervs sehr eingeschränkt.
 Seine Schwester Kelly spielt ebenfalls Fußball und wurde dabei zur NSCAA All-American ernannt.

The above editorial cartoon is important, not because it's true, but because it highlights the prevailing rhetoric that incorrectly frames the conversation. The truth is that there is no individual security without universal privacy; ask anyone of the past who was, the present who is, oppressed (German Jews under Nazis rule, blacks under south African apartheid, women in the U.S. before suffrage, blacks in this country's south before the civil rights movement), ask anyone who seeks change unpopular at the time but which was the right thing to do in retrospect.
We must uphold the privacy rights of individual citizens and the collective citizenry in order to secure ourselves against the risks of our democracy being slowly and insidiously undermined. Liberty, defined as the right to be left alone, can not exist without privacy. We depend upon individual privacy and security protections to guard against invasions of individual liberty by the present activities of the state, of hackers, and of criminal and commercial enterprises.
Consider for a moment what would have happened to the oppressed and unpopular groups that I mentioned, if those prior governments had the technology of today (NSA electronic surveillance, FBI low-altitude high-resolution plane-based camera surveillance of all major cities, local police use of Stingray technology that intercepts mobile phone calls and data and pinpoint locations --- all without warrants). Here's what would happen: those in power would have more effectively controlled and suppressed those not in power.
Could you imagine organizing around and in support of Rosa Parks if the local police of the time had Stingray, and knew instantly any time a group of two or more black people were in one place or communicating with one another? Fewer people would have participated, and it could have changed the course of history.
A society that has the tools to systematically suppress the weak or unpopular is one breath away (a reaction, a scare) from the society that uses those tools to systemically suppress the weak or unpopular. That is a more imminent danger to democracy than even the most well-funded terrorist group.


Thanks!! It gets better in Kansas! Havent found the big ones here in mo. yet! Im runnen out of time too!

Elizabeth Lennox (March 16, 1894 – May 3, 1992), also known as Louise Terrell, was an American contralto singer. She made over 150 musical recordings in the 1920s, on the Brunswick, Edison, Victor, and Columbia labels.

Early life
Elizabeth Lennox was born in Ionia, Michigan the daughter of Lambert E. Lennox and Hester Anna Tyrell Lennox. Her parents were from Canada. Her father was a Methodist clergyman, and her older sister Olive Lennox was a pianist who sometimes accompanied her. She graduated from the Cosmopolitan School of Music in Chicago. Her father's work meant that she lived in various towns as a child; she counted Benton Harbor, Michigan as one of her hometowns.

Career
Lennox began her professional singing career as a church soloist in Chicago, and in New York. She sang mainly in concert and oratorio programs, and made over 150 recordings in the 1920s, on the Brunswick, Edison, Victor, and Columbia labels. Some of her recordings were made under the name "Louise Terrell" (using a variation on her mother's maiden name). She explained that making recordings helped her hear her own voice and find where improvements were needed. "People may try to flatter you by saying you are singing perfectly," she said, "but the record certainly shows up every little imperfection in a wonderful way."

Lennox also taught voice in Michigan, as a young woman. She and accompanist Ann Straton Miller made a national concert tour during the 1921–1922 season. In the 1930s she often performed on radio programs, including on the American Album of Popular Music, and in a regular weekly slot on CBS Radio's "Broadway Varieties" show.

After she retired from professional performance in the 1940s, she was program committee chair of the South Shore Music Club, a women's club in Connecticut, and was executive vice-president of the Connecticut Symphony Orchestra.

Personal life
Lennox was tall, "distinctly the type for whom tailored clothes were made," according to a 1937 profile. She married George Percival Hughes, an advertising executive, in 1922. Their son David Gratton Hughes was born in 1926. Her husband died in 1967, and she died in 1992, aged 98 years, in Fairfield, Connecticut. Her son became a musicologist on the faculty at Harvard University. Her granddaughter Catherine E. C. Hughes was a television news reporter and an Emmy-nominated filmmaker.

Joseph Berglund was arrested Saturday and faces 4 felony counts of gross sexual assault.
AUGUSTA — A 19-year-old man has been charged with four felony counts of gross sexual assault, after two women alleged that he sexually assaulted them in a West Gardiner home.
Joseph Berglund was arrested Saturday and made his first appearance in court Monday afternoon, via a video feed from the Kennebec County jail.
In their complaint against Berglund, prosecutors are charging him with two class B counts of gross sexual assault, each punishable by up to 10 years in jail, and two class C counts of gross sexual assault, punishable by up to five years.
Berglund's town of residence was not listed in the probable cause affidavit written by a member of the Maine State Police, which detailed the allegations.
During Berglund's court appearance on Monday, Justice Donald Marden set his bail at $10,000 surety or $2,000 cash with a Maine Pretrial Services contract. Marden also approved bail conditions the state recommended for Berglund, including a curfew and an order against having any contact with the alleged victims.
The state initially requested $10,000 cash bail, but an attorney representing Berglund, Henry Beck, called that amount "terribly high" and proposed a lower amount, $1,000 secured, with a contract.
Berglund will not be called upon to enter a plea, Marden told him, until a grand jury reviews the state's case and decides whether to indict him.
Berglund was arrested on Saturday by a member of the Maine State Police, Scott Quintero, who described the allegations against him in a probable cause affidavit filed at the Capital Judicial Center.
Both women told police that they were asleep in the same West Gardiner home when Berglund allegedly removed their pants and assaulted them, Quintero wrote. Immediately afterward, they went to the Gardiner Police Department to make the allegations, according to Quintero.
The document provided little other information about the complaints.
At several points during the court appearance on Monday afternoon, Marden asked Berglund if he understood the proceedings, and Berglund said that he did. Otherwise, Beck did most of the talking during the hearing, which was attended by a couple of Berglund's family members.
Berglund's next court appearance will be Dec. 12. Going forward, he will be represented by local attorney Walter McKee, at whose firm Beck works.
This story was updated on Tuesday, November 14 at 7:58 am to reflect that the alleged assaults occurred in West Gardiner, not Gardiner as previously reported.

BlackRock sees Aladdin as crucial to custodial relationships
World's largest asset manager revealed it is using its in-house technology to increase the efficiency of its custody relationships.
By Joe Parsons April 20, 2017 7:05 AM GMT
BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink has said it has positioned its flagship risk and portfolio management system, Aladdin, as a key component to creating efficiencies with its custody bank partners.
Speaking on its first quarter earnings call, the chief executive of the world's largest asset manager said that it is using technology developed in-house to drive efficiencies across its custodial and client relationships.
"We look at technology as a great efficiency provider for investing for custodial assets, for communicating with our custodial clients, for communicating with our employees, for communicating with our clients. So it is the key element that is going to transform BlackRock," said Fink.
"As we now have Aladdin provider working with the custodial banks, ultimately it's going to simplify our trading, [and] trade entry compliance working alongside the custodial bank to create so much more efficiency for users across the Aladdin system."
At the end of last year, BlackRock transferred over $1 trillion in assets from State Street to JP Morgan in what was one of the biggest custody deals of all time.
For JP Morgan, it allows the bank to greatly integrate with BlackRock's Aladdin to link up directly to its other custody clients connected to the platform.
Speaking to Global Custodian earlier this year Jessica Hynes, head of custody consulting for UK, Europe and Middle East at Mercer Sentinel, said the deal will allow JP Morgan to become fully intergrated with the workflow it its largest clients.
"By partnering with their Aladdin system, JP Morgan becomes part of the BlackRock ecosystem, where there is no longer a clear distinction between front, middle and back-offices, but a seamless end-to-end optimisation of the trade flow," said Hynes.

'I have to:' Prosecutors say Martice Fuller admitted to fatally shooting Kaylie Juga, Juga's mother
By Madeline Anderson and Angu00e9lica Sanchez
Martice Fuller charged as an adult in fatal shooting of Kaylie Juga
Martice Fuller
KENOSHA -- Martice Fuller, 15, made his initial appearance in Kenosha County court on Monday, May 13 on charges associated with the fatal shooting of Kaylie Juga, 15. The shooting wounded Juga's mother, Stephanie Juga.
FOX6 News spoke with Stephanie and Nick Juga Monday evening. They called the support from the community after this horrific tragedy "absolutely amazing," and said they cannot believe so many people care. Stephanie Juga said she was in tears opening packages at their door.
"When it's something so close to home, you feel that impact," said Sarah Schmidt, neighbor. "It's amazing that everyone is being so supportive."
Nick Juga described Fuller as a coward.
Fuller, who was ordered held on $1 million cash bond, was charged Monday with the following:
"The circumstances in this case would literally chill anyone who makes any real attempt to keep their family safe," said Mike Graveley, Kenosha County district attorney.
According to prosecutors, it all started Thursday afternoon, May 9, when Fuller had a friend drop him off approximately 10 blocks from the Juga home.
"He already has a bike, his bike, that is stashed at that location. He brings with him, we believe, a change of clothes," said Graveley.
According to the criminal complaint, the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to 66th Street around 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 9 for a report of a shooting. The first deputy on the scene observed the garage door at the home was open -- and he went inside. The deputy found Kaylie Juga lying on the floor of a room -- suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. The deputy also came upon Stephanie Juga, Kaylie's mother, who was wounded.

Shooting on 66th Street in Kenosha
The complaint said when asked about what happened, Stephanie Juga told investigators Kaylie was in her room listening to music after school. Mrs. Juga said "she heard a blood-curdling scream" followed by a "bang." When Mrs. Juga stepped into the hallway, she told investigators she saw Fuller standing at the entrance to her daughter's room. She "pleaded with (Fuller) -- 'You don't have to do this.' (Fuller) replied to Mrs. Juga, 'Yes, I have to.'" Mrs. Juga told investigators she attempted to shut the door and was shot a couple of times. She eventually locked herself in a bathroom and called 911.
Detectives later interviewed a cousin of Fuller who stated Fuller arrived at her house around 11 p.m. on Thursday. She indicated Fuller stated he went to Juga's house. The complaint said "(Fuller) admitted he then shot (Kaylie Juga)." The complaint said Kaylie's mother "came running, and so he shot her too and then fled the residence." The cousin also told authorities "(Fuller) told her that, after he had shot the two individuals, he changed clothes, got on his bike and was picked up by a friend."
The next morning, Friday, May 10, Fuller's cousin contacted the Kenosha Police Department and indicated Fuller wished to turn himself in.
Detectives reviewed home security video from a neighbor of the Juga family. It showed around 3 p.m. on Thursday "a person matching the description of (Fuller) entered the driveway of the Juga residence and entered through the garage door. (A detective) indicated that he heard a loud echo within 2 1/2 minutes, consistent with a gunshot, and 15 seconds later, there were six more loud echoes consistent with more gunshots." The same male who entered the house three minutes earlier was seen exiting the house through the garage -- "running west on the north sidewalk."
"He doesn't hide his identity in any way, which, from the state's perspective, makes it clear he knows what's happening," said Graveley.
Prosecutors said the crime was part of a pattern of increasingly alarming behavior from Fuller, who, they said, had been stalking Kaylie Juga prior to the shooting, and had made several attempts to get a gun.
"He is removed from the school that he attends, meaning the defendant, because of intimidating, threatening comments with the victim in the case," said Graveley. "He sports a false alibi when he talks to law enforcement. He provides them absolutely false details about his whereabouts the day before."
According to prosecutors, Fuller's mother told investigators he was at her home the day of the shooting, but later admitted she made up the story to protect her son -- and said she didn't know where he was.
Kaylie Juga
The defense noted Fuller had never been in trouble with the law before, and when he was arrested, he denied ever being at the Juga home May 9.
"This is the state's version. There's been no opportunity for the defense to really respond, investigate," said Fuller's attorney.
FOX6 News was told Stephanie Juga was still recovering -- in a lot of physical pain. Kaylie Juga was a focused student-athlete and Bradford High School cheerleader with a love for family and friends, family said. Her father said his daughter had hopes of going to Minnesota State -- seeking a medical degree. She had dreams of adopting children and becoming a successful individual. He described Fuller as an ex-boyfriend Kaylie Juga had not talked to in months.
A GoFundMe page was set up to support the Juga family.
School was canceled at Bradford High School in Kenosha Friday as a result of this incident. Students returned to class on Monday. FOX6 News found classmates, neighbors and family friends dropping off flowers outside the home Monday.
Fuller is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on May 24.

Just wondering if anyone else uses aereo.com (US only and only in select cities). Its a way to watch network tv on your phone, computer, or tablet. I want to try and push these guys to make an aereo app for windows phone 8 and rt so I've been pushing them on that but was wondering if anyone else has interest in them making an app and can help push them as well!
I've never heard of this site before. An app might be useful for people who use the site.
Can't believe more Windows Phone users aren't interested in this service. I appreciate them just because they are fighting against the established networks and cable tv.
They have made it very easy to show your support for w8 and wp8, just go to their site, select "supported devices". W8 and wp8 are in the list for future apps. I am sure that the more people that sign up to be notified will have an impact on development priorities.
I'm thinking about signing up for Aereo. It says IE9 or higher will work with Aereo. Does it use a plugin or can you play from the browser? If the latter, any chance it works on WP?
Is there an app capable of opening large PDF files?

Humor > Pop Culture > Five Unforgettable Zombies
Five Unforgettable Zombies
By Dustin Koski on October 6th, 2015
Many pop culture columnists claim that zombies have been done to undeath. Too many movies, books, and video games have been made about them in recent years, they say. Often they say the whole zombie genre is just like the mindless, shuffling subject matter.
We don't agree, as some artists still manage to create zombies with enough skill or cleverness that they remind you why the undead become so popular in the first place. Others occupy a place in zombie lore so significant that we'll provide them a quick salute here even if they're not the most slick versions of ambient corpses. We're proud to present, Five Unforgettable Zombies…
1. "Necro Doll" by Tice Lerner
Tice Lerner's zombie makeup job looks like it walked out of an ideal adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The truth is that apparently it's just something he seemingly made for the hell of it and placed on Deviantart. The lovely dress, contacts, and six part prosthesis were too good to not become somewhat famous after Reddit got wind of it, and its viral spread is no doubt impending.
Also, it should be mentioned that's actually a man named Dillon Utter portraying the Necro Doll. That might seem like gratuitous information, but if we can cause gay panic in necrophiles that were under the wrong impression about this character, we're not about to pass that opportunity up.
One last thing: Gunaxin would be remiss if it did not include this screencap with the perfect ad that once appeared over one of the photos on DeviantArt.
2. "Maggot Face" by Giannetto De Rossi
Back in 1978, Lucio Fulci's film Zombie (Zombi 2 in his native Italy) significantly raised the bar on zombie makeup standards. Prior to that, even such luminaries in the field as George Romero (more on him shortly) were content seemingly to spread some face paint on their walking dead and roll film. The most prominent, creative, and yucky was a zombie since nicknamed "Maggot Face" with live worms crawling on one of his eyes. That's a touch rarely seen since.
3. Bill Hinzman in Night of the Living Dead
Here he is, the first modern portrayal of a reanimated person. Not a lumbering hulk in the style of Frankenstein's monster or someone under the influence of Caribbean magic. This was the first zombie motivated by the sole desire to eat people shown on screen.
In the actor's opinion, the character had some issues. He told Night of the Living Dead writer/director George Romero that although he was supposed to be playing a mindless and slow creature, he has the presence of mind to break a window with a rock, beats a younger man in a grapple, and does a very good job chasing a car even for a human. Romero's response established the defining philosophy of zombie fiction when faced with an lapse of narrative logic or a scientific inconsistency: He told Hinzman "Do it anyway."
4. "Tarman" by Allan Trautman
The oft-quoted zombie mantra "braaaiiins" was introduced to zombie fiction in 1985 by the horror-comedy Return of the Living Dead. Before that, zombies were pretty much universally content with any old bit of humans they could get their teeth on. Tarman, the first zombie to say it, hasn't aged perfectly. He looks a little too animatronic in some shots and the lip sync on him saying "brains" is a little dodgy. Still, his effectiveness as a killer and character design won him a place in fan hearts. How many other zombies have their own IMDb page?
5. Cargo's "Father" by Magro and Tilden
"Father" from this 2013 short film is not too much to look at as far as zombies go. But god, his story features by far the most inventive use of a zombie in possibly the last fifty years of walking flesh eaters. On top of that, it's incredibly touching as these things go. No doubt more "manly tears" have been shed over Cargo than the rest of zombie fiction since the genre started. Gunaxin will say no more that might spoil the movie, just watch it for yourself.

Home Rock Pop & Jazz Rock Pop Jazz-News SINGLE & VIDEO NEWS: The Calls drop 'Way Far Out' and video
SINGLE & VIDEO NEWS: The Calls drop 'Way Far Out' and video
The Calls have released their new single and video, 'Way Far Out', the first track to be taken from their forthcoming EP due to be released later this year.
The single is far from a conventional introduction to the next phase in the band's progression, but one of the band's strengths is that they rarely if ever play it by the book. "I suppose it's a statement of defiance against the traditional music industry," vocalist and songwriter Tom Fuller explains. "Why does a single need to follow their rules?"
Elaborating further about the song, Tom explains: "We were trying to make a song with a mood that made the listener feel like they were in the desert, hence the aesthetic of the video. The psychedelic sounds intend to recreate that sense of hallucination and heat exhaustion, with the lyrics focusing on introspective feelings of guilt that cycle around; feelings of guilt and sorrow that can leave someone feeling as if they are stranded alone, far away."
Hailing from the thriving metropolis of Leeds, the band remain a proudly defiant DIY band who write, rehearse and record their music in a converted barn and travel in an old window cleaner's van. The trio are driven by the unconventional songwriting of Tom Fuller, who puts an introspective slant on social observations through cryptic wordplay and metaphor, with lyrics often dystopian in their outlook, often reflective and always deeply personal; lead guitarist Will Johnson, a film maker and visual artist whose unrestrained and highly unusual sound is due to the fact that, remarkably, he had never picked up a guitar before joining the band; and bassist Marcell Haslewood, a lifeguard finding his way via a combination of ambience and dub and a unique approach to playing that invariably defies expectation. This versatile, chameleon-like sound is one of the band's biggest assets, moving through dark, psychedelic dub-rock, to soaring rhythms, to bold and inventive percussion.
