Welcome to the show. Denise, thanks so much for having me. I'm really excited. I'm excited to have you on tell us about yourself outside of your business.
Is there a self outside of my business, I didn't know there was a thing. I am a mom of a 22 year old and a wife of an amazing husband. And that much fills up my life. As a social entrepreneur. I spend a lot of time working with various boards and organizations that I'm passionate about that align with my business. So I'm pretty active in the community and love to teach and encourage wherever I can tell us about your business and how you got started. My business is called watch her work and what it is the digital online learning community. I started it, you know, as you know, it's mostly female entrepreneurs, what we do, we solve our own problems. And that's how our finances get started. I was an executive. I've been an executive for over 25 years that fortune 500 companies like AOL and TV era, but also I've worked in small business as head of commercial real estate firms. And I started my own entrepreneurial journey with Jones magazine. And consequently, people are we're going to talk to me I was the only woman or the only African American in so many different situations that I would have younger people peers come to beat hates needs connected your brain, kidneys, can we go to monitor to have a problem I want to talk to you about and I had to work I had to work myself like, I want to help everyone. But there's a point where it wasn't time appropriate for me to invest that much time mentoring other people, but I knew that was a problem. The other side of that coin is they were kind of asking a lot of the same question and that kind of triggered an idea in that what if we just put all of this information in one place so that women can have the answers to these questions when they needed it at their convenience you know how they needed it and that's how watch her work was born. So basically what we do is we crowdsource professional advice for women interview successful in in great their content in short, clip, 123 minutes and categorize it so you can have that information at your fingertips. How do you ask for a raise? How do you tell your boss you're pregnant? What do you do when a client hits on you? How do you take control of the meetings, you feeling? box out all of those issues? Like no one person has the answer to all of those questions.
But together we all do. And what do you enjoy most about what you do that aha moment? I love it. When somebody feels like there's no answer. They can't figure out a problem. And they get exposed to content information that makes them feel empowered and puts them back on the right track to reach their goals. There's a lot of people who are motivating right now. You know, we're in a, in a kind of an explosion of life coaches and virtual coaches and motivational speakers. That's not really my space, my space and education. I want you to know what to do when you hit that difficult situation. If you cried at work today, it's great for you to talk to someone that says, you know, you're okay. You're worthy, you're amazing. But it's also valuable to know what do you do when you go into work tomorrow? What are you saying? you apologize, you act like it didn't happen, what do you actually do? And so that's really the focus of my business is making sure you have the skill, you know, in real time when you're having a problem.
Well, that's so useful. I could have used your side occasions A few years ago, well, it's not too late.
The other thing that's been really interesting is it's not for young people. People always think you know, that quite often. In closing, I wish I had this at the beginning of my career, the actual situation is that you need this when you're in the middle of your career even more, because that when things start getting really hairy, I always say, when you start your career, you know, you are looking for somebody to help you find the restroom, right? Like, but who can help you find the boardroom, right, who's going to help you reach that higher level of success. That's what watch your work is really targeted towards doing okay, and what's your greatest challenge as an entrepreneur?
Hmm, my greatest challenge as an entrepreneur is sharing the vision with the right people in the right way, you know, I've presented and pitch to investors, you know, of course, a whole room full of male investors, and they don't always get it, you know, they're, they don't understand it. I had one one gentleman actually asked me Well, if women knew how to lead a DVD, so how can you recite like this, that's all women, right? Which I couldn't believe you said that. But, you know, that's part of the challenge of building an audience that needs the service and understands the service. And so we're continually crafting our message and sharing the message with other audiences.
Denise, when did you know that you are an entrepreneur, I was one of those kids that, you know, bought the box of candy and broke it up and sold it marked it up. Actually, I paid for my college spending money. And I came from a single parent households are low income, that's a college on a scholarship. But if I wanted to go to the movies, or I want to go out to eat, it was up to me. So I literally would buy jewelry wholesale. I'm from New York. So by the wholesale. And I went to school in Texas, and I would have jewelry shows in the dorm raise money.
And I sold ties. And I've always been kind of the creative on entrepreneur. And I've been an entrepreneur when I've worked in corporate environments. I've always been kind of on that creative side, the new project, the marketing space, a kind of innovative state. So that's part of my DNA, what advice would you have for someone that's getting started in business, don't do it.
If I can tell you not to do it, and you don't do it, then it's not for you. an entrepreneurial life is really challenging, and you got to have a certain kind of stuff inside of you to make it happen. You have to love selling, or have somebody on your team that love selling, you could be the most amazing artists, the best fighter, the most phenomenal cook. But if you don't have a solid plan on how you're going to sell your product, you will be dead in the water. So I think it's got to be something that you're willing to commit 80 to 100 hours a week. It's like having a baby that baby is demanding. And it requires a lot of your intention and time. And you got to be willing to commit to that above and beyond. And if you're not willing to do that, don't do it. It's not a way to get out of going to work every day. You work harder as an entrepreneur than you do. And an office job. Exactly. Yeah, so we are recording this episode in January. And this is the time of year when a lot of people since I do web design, they come to me needing websites, because they want to start a business. And by July, they haven't had a sale. They haven't sent anyone really to their site. Except for their friends and family. They don't have a plan, they do a blog, they don't want to blog, right, don't feel like they need to.
And then they see those hard and the next year. They're just like, Whatever. I'm not renewing my domain.
Exactly. And you know it again, I talked about kind of what my goal is, and what what I want my site to do. What I want watch her work to do is I'm not here to motivate them to come night I'm here to be the hard knocks the real truth This is what it is you can count the cost there's a there's a Bible verse what man sets out to build a tower that doesnt sit down and count the cost. So if you're going to jump into an entrepreneurial pursuit, you know, have you saved to money? Have you researched the market you understand who your first customers will be? Do you understand your product and are you willing to take the sacrifice and to be patient and to get out there and sell that's really what it comes down to? And if you are via condos right that's phenomenal. Let's go join the club but if you're not and you know it's it's better for you to 100% honest with yourself there's nothing wrong with staying in a great corporate job and Chilean we need we need women to be on boards of directors and the PC. Oh, that's companies. That's okay. You know. So I think that don't Don't be an entrepreneur because it's in style. And it's been both do it because you have a passion around a problem that you want to solve. You developed a unique solution and you're really willing to get out there and beat the streets to sell it.
Yeah. And I think another thing that I see people that I personally know doing is they don't consume any content. Like they don't follow any entrepreneurs on social media. They don't listen to that many podcasts. Like I listened to podcasts all day. Well, I'm working all different kinds of podcasts. I'm consuming content from Gary van der Chuck Sean was Pat Flynn all the time. It's free. And I also subscribe to some courses to I pay and I invest in myself and I read I last year I read 46 books.
Not all business books. But look, you have to consume content. If you want to be an entrepreneur, right? and diverse content, right? You have to understand counting, you have to understand the tech dimension of what you're doing the social media dimension, we're all in the communications business, no matter what business you're in, you're in the communications business. So you're not going to learn it by osmosis. You can't put the books under your pillow at night, you got to actually read them you got to consume and you can tell me everything that's happening on love and hip hop. But you don't know what's going on with the latest trends are and social media. And that's the lifeblood of your business. So I think it's like anything else. Right? If you care about it, you will develop it, what you see grows, right. So you if you really are passionate about it, then when I ask you five questions, I've taught for several years at some local colleges. And one of the things I always tell students when they are telling me about a career they want to get involved in. I always asked five quick questions instead, if you don't know answers the five questions about that career, you're not really interested in it? If you want to be a casting agent? Oh, for the movies and TV? That's great. Where are those jobs usually located? What are the top five Cathy agents in the country? How much the casting agents make? How big other organizations like if you can't answer a few basic questions about what you say you care about? It's hard for me to believe that you're serious. So that commitment to like, steadily feeding yourself and developing you know, people will think you're crazy while they're you know, Benji Netflix, you're watching YouTube videos, learning how to do things and you're listening to podcast. That's the tell tale signs of a true entrepreneur. Mm hmm.
Yeah, that's exactly my thing. I can't tell you what's going on.
I'm not saying it's bad to watch TV. I'm not saying it's bad to watch reality TV. You know, you may have some shows that you watch.
I have shows that I watch. But I watched them while I'm eating.
I watched them while like right before bed, like my work comes first. And my education comes first. I definitely consume way more entrepreneurial content and way more things that are going to like edify me than like, bring me down.
Absolutely. And there's never been a better time to be an entrepreneur, you have so much information at your fingertips, you know, you can learn to do almost anything. I just finished a book called when sleeping women wake moving mountains in your life and work. And, you know, I learned how to design my own book cover. I learned how to type set my own typeface on the book. I mean, like, you can learn so much on YouTube down and on the web and through various courses. So what's your reason for not having mastery of your content? You've got to do it. You know, your competitors are right. Another big mistake. I'm sorry, this episode's kind of turned into like mistakes that entrepreneurs make.
Another thing that I see a lot of people do is like, No, I don't need to know how to do that. Like, I can just outsource it. But no, you actually do need to know how to market you need to know how to write a blog post. You need to know what you're doing so you can know who to hire. Right? Right. You can't manage a skill that you don't understand. Mm hmm. You can't. So you know, again, if it's annoying to you, if you're not interested in it, you need to take a look at who's Well, I really want to do this job do I really want to have this experience is the key ingredients are not interesting to me. The key activities are not interesting to me. And you can outsource you don't have to have mastery of everything. But you do have to have a baseline understanding. So you can ask for what you need. And also so you're not overcharge. You know, something that takes five minutes to do something I can tell you. It costs $500, but you you don't know because you don't know. So I think it's really important to educate yourself as much as possible now, but don't allow that education to be paralyzing, right? I know, people who listen to podcasts and watch inspirational videos all day, but they don't actually do their work, you know, like there is at some point, you do have to make the cookies you want to sell. Know, be careful that we're not like immobilized in learning. But it's gotta be a steady significant part of your daily diet.
Right? I think the best thing to do is just start consuming content from different people. And eventually you realize like, Okay, my, my beliefs, my entrepreneurial beliefs are in line with what Gary vein or Chuck teaches. So I'm going to do everything Gary says I need to do and for me, it's like well, my freelance beliefs align with Bianca board. And so I'm going to listen to everything Bianca says about web design. And so after a while, you kind of like narrow it down. And you might still listen to all the people you used to listen to. But there will be you'll have your favorites. And those are going to be the ones that you're going to take action on their content.
Absolutely. So aside from not wanting to work for someone else, and aside from your family, what is your why I am a passionate believer in access. I think that there is genius in every part of our country. There's genius, and every race in every age group. And part of why we tend to see the same types of people always rise to the top is because they're afforded access that others are not. And so a thread that runs through my whole life, not just my business, but my whole life is how do we make sure you have something to bring to the table that you get a chance to boot up your chair and sit at that table, I think we're all made better when that happens. That's a critical value about watch their work for me, if you have a good to be on the board. If you have to good to be the director of a division or to start a business, I don't want you to step away from that because you don't have the information or you don't have the support that you need to get there. And so my Why is I have been extremely fortunate in my life to have amazing mentors, amazing peers that I can call on if I have a problem or issue or a challenge. And I know that everyone doesn't have that same experience, right? That we're not all equally blessed in that way. And so part of the why of creating this incredible platform has been around giving you a chance to have access to what I have and getting richer that experience. So my Why is I want you to have a shot if you deserve a shot. And I like that.
What's your favorite internet resource or app that just makes your life easier. A sauna, I'm a little obsessed with a sauna right now because I am wildly creative. I am an idea junkie, I'm a tinkerer. So I forgotten more ideas than most people ever have. So having a tool and a place to really capture those ideas and capture those to do that you can rest it or park it someplace and then come back to it when you have more time it has been really powerful for me one of the things about starting a digital platform just actually today launched washer work that he and one of the things about starting a digital platform lighters is there's so many moving parts there's so many things you have to keep those plates spinning that a tool that really allows you to record so you can use you know your brain to make and solve problems not to remember I'm getting up in years now I'm in my mid 40s and I don't I don't rely on my whole brain to remember much anymore what's on your bucket list when I was younger when my daughter was younger she was catastrophic Lee ill for several years over six years and was confined to a wheelchair she's totally fine now like we went through an experiment with treatment and she is totally healthy and great but it meant that there was a long big chunk of my life that I couldn't travel and I couldn't do things that other people could do and so for me I just want to see the world I want to see all the corners of it and looking forward to my business taking me to all those places to meet those women and shared their stories and their experiences for watch her work here like what's the best way for listeners to get in touch with you I've easy Denise at watch her work dot com. Check me out on the site. I love hearing from listeners. I love hearing from people who have questions they want us to answer on the site.

One of my favorite things about traveling is people watching. It is one of the most revealing activities. The rhythm of their lives, street styles, office rush hour, lunch break, the observations are endless.
People in nordic seemed same as any other city in Europe, however after a few interactions you realize they are quite different. They are extremely friendly, helpful and not in as much rush as London, or New York.
They are also extremely stylish. I could sit by the street cafe and watch everyone go by for hours. I wouldn't even require wifi or a book. People watching is a fulfilling entertainment on its own.
What is your favorite leisure travel activity?
Great Post, nice pictures Tanvi !

30 Jun, 2019 | General News and Events
A Regular Session of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia took place in San Francisco, California, from 27th-28th June 2019, in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the glorification of St John the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco, who from 1953 to 1962 served as the Ruling Archbishop of our Diocese. His Grace Bishop Irenei, who as Synodal Secretary for Inter-Orthodox Relations of the Church Abroad is a regular member of the Holy Synod, took part in its meetings under the presidency of the First Hierarch, His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America and New York, together with other members of the Holy Synod: His Eminence Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany, His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America, His Eminence Gabriel of Montreal and Canada and His Grace Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan. His Grace Bishop Theodosy of Seattle also took part in the meetings. As is customary, the Holy Synod met before the Kursk-root icon of the Theotokos, directress of the Russian Diaspora. (Scroll down on this page for a gallery of photographs.)
At its session on Wednesday, the Holy Synod confirmed its decision to unite the Diocese of Western Europe and the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland into a single Diocese of Great Britain and Western Europe — a process already begun in its deliberations at the session of the Synod held in London in September 2018. In thus bringing together the two territories which, over the past century, have sometimes been a single entity and at others (as more recently) separate, the Holy Synod has brought into closer spiritual fraternity the parishes and communities of these regions that have been spiritually linked together for centuries — whilst also affirming that their unique characteristics will continue to be cared for by the preservation of distinct administrations in each broad territory (Great Britain and Ireland on the one hand, and Continental Europe on the other).
During the same session, the Holy Synod also confirmed a decision previously taken by the Sobor of the Bishops of the Church Abroad, to return to the ROCOR's earliest usage for the title of the see in England: namely, 'Bishop of London'. Bishop Nicholas (Karpoff), who was consecrated by Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) of blessed memory in June 1929 to oversee the communities in the United Kingdom, held the title 'Bishop of London' until his repose. Later hierarchs were given the title 'Bishop of Richmond,' which our present Ruling Bishop has borne since his appointment to the See in September 2018 (having formerly been Bishop of Sacramento). From its present decision the Holy Synod has restored the Church's earlier usage, and henceforth our Ruling Bishop shall be commemorated as 'His Grace Bishop Irenei of London and Western Europe' (click here for details and full text of commemorations).
During its sessions, the Holy Synod considered various aspects of Church Life throughout its dioceses across the globe, as well as matters relating to theological education and the good works undertaken at its seminary; missions in various parts of the world; the development of monasticism in divers regions; preparations for the 100th anniversary celebrations of the ROCOR next year; and various other matters. The Hierarchs also prayed for the soul of the recently-departed Archbishop Alypi, former Ruling Bishop of Chicago and Mid-America, whose departure unto the Lord had taken place since the Synod's last meeting.
Following the conclusion of its sessions, the members of the Holy Synod, together with guest hierarchs from Russia and Romania, took part in the Divine Services for the feast of St John of Shanghai and San Francisco. This year marks twenty-five years since the glorification of St John took place in the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin in San Francisco, where his incorrupt relics remain, and for the feast those relics were brought into the centre of the temple as hundreds of pilgrims from all over the world arrived to prayerfully seek the saint's intercession and healing. On Thursday evening His Grace Bishop Irenei and His Grace Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan led the Akathist to St John before his relics; and on Friday evening and Saturday morning the whole Synod with guests and visitors celebrated the Vigil and Divine Liturgy of the feast, under the presidency of the First Hierarch with over sixty clerics serving an exceedingly full church. At the Little Entrance of the Divine Liturgy, Abbot James (Corazza) of the Western American Diocese was elevated to the rank of Archimandrite, and Priest Sergei Kiryuhin of Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco was awarded the Gold Cross. His Grace Bishop Irenei preached the sermon on St John's testimony of the power of spiritual transformation in the modern world, and at the conclusion of the Liturgy a festal procession was held around the Cathedral. During his remarks from the amvon following the Divine Services, His Eminence the First Hierarch bestowed a personal award upon His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco, and the Award of St Elizabeth the New Martyr upon Archbishop Kyrill's vicar, His Grace Bishop Theodosy of Seattle, for the labours of both hierarchs of the Diocese in this anniversary year.
His Grace Bishop Irenei will serve on Sunday, 17th / 30th June at the Parish of St Tikhon of Zadonsk, the former orphanage run by St John in California as well as the saint's residence, where Bishop Irenei served for many years as a priest. He will depart from California in the new week to take up his residence in our Diocese.

Q: ActiveMQMessageConsumer receives message only once in 5 seconds from Topic on Java I'm trying to receive hundreds of messages from Topic using ActiveMQMessageConsumer in Java. I add a MessageListener to handle the messages and for some reason I only get a message each 5 seconds. How can i configure this?
My code:
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

final Topic topic = session.createTopic(myTopic);
final MessageConsumer messageConsumer = session.createConsumer(topic);
messageConsumer.receiveNoWait();

messageConsumer.setMessageListener(message -> {
       if (message != null) {
            try {
                System.out.println("A message received: "
                                           + ((TextMessage) message).getText()
                                           + "\n at: " + Instant.now());
            } catch (JMSException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        }
    });
Thread.sleep(500000);

A: Ok the issue was in the part of the app that produced messages and arranged the Topic. Changing it and leaving the Consumer part as is fixed the issue.

11-Year-Old Girl Revives Grandfather After a Heart Attack
Thanks to CPR techniques that her school teacher had taught her days before, Eva was able to revive her grandfather after a heart attack.
Spanish 11-year-old Eva Prévot saved her grandfather's life after a heart attack. Days before, her P.E. teacher had taught the class how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). As chance would have it, that lesson was the most important so far in her young life.

This happy family, proud of their brave, young daughter and granddaughter, has not stopped receiving calls from journalists all over the world asking about the story.
Nevertheless, Eva herself, with extraordinary maturity, remembers how important it is that everyone receive training in something as basic as cardiopulmonary thrusts.
You never know when you'll have to use this skill that could save your loved ones' lives.
Here's the hope-inspiring story that occurred in La Coruña, Spain.
The Day Eva's Grandfather Suffered his 2nd Heart Attack
It wasn't the first time. Grandfather Manuel's heart had already "been broken" previously. It hadn't been long since they'd come home from the hospital after his first heart attack. Everyone was very eager for his recovery.
However, in reality, no one is prepared for those unfair and unexpected punches that life brings.

Eva Prévot confirms that when it occurred, she was not yet 11 years old. It was at night and she was in her room doing her chores. Then, all of a sudden, she heard her grandmother shouting from the floor below.
Something was happening and she had already guessed from her grandmother's obvious desperation that it had something to do with her grandfather.
Manuel had just suffered another heart attack. He was on the ground. Trembling and afraid, they called the emergency number, something that little Eva did because her grandfather was unresponsive.
Eva Saves her Grandfather After a Heart Attack
Health professionals began giving Eva instructions about what to do. The first responders would not arrive immediately, so the girl had no option but to react, have a clear mind, and know how to act.
In a certain way, Eva knew very well what she should do. In the days leading up to the incident, she had received training from her P.E. teacher on how to perform CPR chest compressions. She knew what had to be done after a heart attack.
Remaining calm at each moment, the first thing she did was determine if her grandfather Manuel had a pulse.
However, she didn't feel a pulse and her grandfather was not breathing. So, without a second thought, she began performing CPR maneuvers for 10 long minutes without stopping once and with determination.
She was not going to allow her grandfather Manuel to leave them after a heart attack. It didn't matter if her hands were very small, or if her grandmother, standing behind her, would not stop crying. In fact, she didn't fail to encourage her for one moment. "Everything is going to be okay."
Ultimately, it was. When the medics arrived, they relieved her of her duties. Manuel woke up hours later in the intensive care unit, where they told him what had happened: his granddaughter Eva had saved his life after a heart attack.
The Chest Compressions that Save Lives
Manuel was in the hospital for two months. Now, after all those weeks and the help he received from his granddaughter and family, he sees life differently. He feels stronger and closer to his loved ones.
As for Eva, the first thing she did after seeing that her grandfather was well and that he was going to get past that second heart attack, she went to her school and thanked her teacher for having taught her how to carry out the CPR maneuver.
When her teacher heard the story, he couldn't help becoming emotional and let the tears fall.
In reality, we never come to know the importance that some actions have on other people. When teachers have a passion for education, there is nothing like seeing that "knowledge works and saves lives."
For that reason, that P.E. teacher and Eva remind us once more of the importance of making it an obligation to train both children and adults in something as important as CPR. Additionally, these training sessions should take place in all schools and workplaces.
Of course, we hope that you never have to use CPR, but if the occasion demands, don't forget to remain calm and remember your training.
All of us are capable of saving lives. We are capable of making hearts beat again. Are you eager to learn? Are you also excited to teach those younger than you?

Зеленоголо́вый мураве́й () — вид мелких тропических муравьёв рода Rhytidoponera из подсемейства Ectatomminae. Несмотря на свой размер (длина тела от ), они обладают сильным жалом, яд которого способен вызвать у человека анафилактический шок. Название насекомого связано с необычной металлически блестящей сине-зелёной окраской с переливами от зеленоватой до бронзово-фиолетовой, сходной с таковой у ос-блестянок. Могут служить орудием биологической борьбы с вредителями, убивая сельскохозяйственных вредителей. Эндемик Австралии, интродуцированный в Новую Зеландию.

Муравейники строят в почве и под камнями во многих биотопах, включая леса, редколесья, пустыни, открытые луга, а также лужайки и сады в городах. Дневные хищники, которые активны в светлое время суток. Охотятся на насекомых и других членистоногих, собирают падаль и сладкие выделения тлей и червецов. Играют важную роль в распространении семян (мирмекохория) и в уничтожении вредителей (жуков, термитов, гусениц). Рабочие зеленоголового муравья являются гамэргатами и могут спариваться с самцами, настоящие муравьиные матки редки. Брачный лёт происходит весной, основание новых семей — или почкованием, или полунезависимое: самки самостоятельно образуют новую семью, но могут выходить на фуражировку.

Распространение
Встречается в Австралии. Один из самых широко распространённых эндемиков этого материка. Отмечается практически повсеместно в штатах Виктория, Новый Южный Уэльс, на Австралийской столичной территории и в Южной Австралии. Встречается также на территории Западной Австралии, но менее обычен на севере; найден в южной части Северной территории и на востоке Квинсленда. Эти муравьи отсутствуют на острове Тасмания, хотя имеется очень старое указание в источнике 1887 года.

Интродуцированы на Северный остров Новой Зеландии, где впервые были обнаружены в 1959 году. Предположительно были завезены вместе с грузом древесины; по крайней мере, другие виды Rhytidoponera интродуцировались этим путём. Закрепившиеся популяции муравьёв зафиксированы в городе Нейпир, где эти муравьи были собраны между 2001 и 2003 годами. Ранее их гнёзда находили в Пенроузе в окрестностях Окленда и в городе Маунт-Маунгануи, но в последнее время их там не обнаруживалось.

Описание
Муравьи с телом длиной от . Грудь выпуклая в профиль. Имеют металлически блестящую сине-зелёную окраску с переливами от зеленоватой до бронзово-фиолетовой, сходную с таковой у ос-блестянок. Обладают сильным жалом и ядом, способным вызвать анафилактический шок у особо чувствительных людей. Нижнебоковой угол переднегрудки (перед передними тазиками) — с острым зубцом, направленным вниз. Усики рабочих 12-члениковые (13-члениковые у самцов). Нижнечелюстные щупики рабочих состоят из трёх сегментов, нижнегубные щупики — двучлениковые. Жвалы с многочисленными мелкими зубчиками (12—30). Грудь у рабочих по причине отсутствия у них крыловых мышц более узкая и сжатая с боков по сравнению с самками; кроме того, рабочие немного меньше самок, однако в целом они трудноразличимы.
Самцы ещё меньше рабочих и самок (длина их тела — около ), и у них преобладает буровато-чёрная окраска тела. Лапки буроватые, жвалы бороздчатые. У самцов, в отличие от рабочих и самок, очень короткий скапус усиков, поверхностная морщинистость плотнее на голове и груди, количество микроямок меньше, чем у других каст на постпетиоле. Первый сегмент брюшка поперечно-бороздчатый, а опушение ног менее плотное. Гениталии самцов в целом сходны с таковыми у других близких видов муравьёв, состоят из внешних, средних и внутренних пар вальв, последних сегментов брюшка (IX и X тергитов и VIII и IX стернитов).

Преобладающий, металлически блестящий цвет муравьёв — зелёный, но он может варьироваться в зависимости от региона, от металлического зелёного до пурпурного. В хребтах Флиндерс в Южной Австралии и около Алис-Спрингс на Северной территории цвет муравьёв меняется с типичного зелёного на тёмно-фиолетовый. В областях с большим количеством осадков, таких как плоскогорья Нового Южного Уэльса и саванны Виктории, муравьи в основном зелёные с пурпурными оттенками по бокам мезосомы. В северных регионах Нового Южного Уэльса и Квинсленда верхняя часть тела красновато-фиолетовая, переходящая в золотистый цвет вокруг нижних частей плевры. Зелёный цвет в этом случае либо ограничен, либо полностью отсутствует. У большинства популяций есть ярко-зелёный цвет брюшка, за исключением тех, кто живёт в пустыне. В некоторых районах недалеко от Брисбена были обнаружены две разные по цвету формы в пределах одной колонии. Было высказано предположение, что две цветовые формы могут представлять собой два вида-близнеца, однако это не может быть подтверждено из-за отсутствия доказательств. На крайнем севере Квинсленда популяции муравьёв выглядят тускло-зелёными и отличными от более ярких, обитающих южнее. Неизвестно, действительно ли популяции крайнего севера представляют собой другой вид. Помимо цветовых вариаций, между популяциями существуют морфологические различия. Например, размер и форма головы и петиоля, длина ног и другие скульптурные детали тела могут варьироваться.

Личинки имеют размер до  и похожи на личинок Rhytidoponera cristata. Их можно отличить по менее вздутому брюшку и более коротким волоскам на теле, размером от . На грудном и брюшном отделах они наиболее крупные и достигают . На жгутиковых и  частях брюшка они имеют размер от . Волоски на голове имеют короткие зубчики, а на антеннах есть  сенсиллы, каждая из которых содержит несколько вздутый шипик. Молодые личинки намного меньше, чем зрелые личинки, и имеют . Они выглядят внешне похожими на зрелых личинок, но их диаметр отличается, постепенно уменьшаясь от пятого отдела тела к переднему концу. Волоски имеют размер от , причём самые длинные из них обнаруживаются на жгутиковых выступах и на некоторых отделах тела; однако там волоски становятся редкими. Кончики волос на голове простые, а общая длина волосков на голове составляет от . Обе антенны имеют субконическую структуру и три апикальные сенсиллы, напоминающие шипик. Мандибулы субтреугольной формы с изогнутой вершиной. Апикальные и субапикальные зубцы острые и короткие, а проксимальный — тупой. В отличие от зрелых личинок, их проксимальный зубец не делится на две части.

Биология
Гнездятся в почве и под камнями. В Австралии встречаются во многих биотопах, включая леса, редколесья, пустыни, открытые луга, лужайки и сады в городах. Дневные хищники, охотящиеся на членистоногих и собирающие сладкие выделения тлей и червецов. Играют важную роль в распространении семян (мирмекохория) и в уничтожении вредителей (жуков, термитов, гусениц). Рабочие зеленоголового муравья являются гамэргатами и могут спариваться с самцами, настоящие самки редки. Брачный лёт происходит весной, основание новых семей — или почкованием или полунезависимое: самки самостоятельно образуют новую семью, но могут выходить на фуражировку.

Фуражировка и питание
Зеленоголовые муравьи — дневной вид, который активен в светлое время суток, быстро добывая пищу либо на земле, либо на растительности. Rhytidoponera metallica — падальщики, хищники и собиратели семян, обычно имеющие широкий рацион из животного материала, насекомых, мелких членистоногих, семян и медвяной падевой росы от насекомых. Рабочие обычно охотятся на жуков, бабочек и термитов, используя свои жала, чтобы убить их, вводя яд. Удаление капитулы (capitula, структура, похожая на сочные элайосомы семян) из яиц палочника Eurycnema goliath уменьшает шансы на то, что их будут собирать муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica, которые переносят их в свои гнёзда. В районах, где доминирует мясной муравей (Iridomyrmex purpureus), муравей Rhytidoponera metallica не подвержен влиянию его присутствия и все ещё успешно находит источники пищи. Поскольку муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica являются примитивными обычными хищниками, в отличие от более продвинутых видов (которые добывают пищу группами и всегда общаются через следовые феромоны), они не могут защитить источники пищи от доминирующих муравьёв. Они сильно зависят от любого источника пищи, а невозможность успешно защитить его от других муравьёв, возможно, привела к тому, что они мирно сосуществуют с доминирующими видами, включая мясных муравьёв.

Зеленоголовый муравей является семеноядным видом (как и муравьи-жнецы), предпочитая семена с низкими механическими защитными свойствами. Семена с более твёрдой кожурой редко употребляются ими в пищу. Известно, что они собирают семена без ариллуса и рассеивают семена различных видов акаций: миртовой (Acacia myrtifolia), золотой (Acacia pycnantha), прибрежной (Acacia sophorae), сладкой (Acacia suaveolens) и можжевеловой (Acacia ulicifolia). Муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica перемещают почти половину семян, которые они ранее принесли, примерно на  в сторону от своих гнёзд, как в несгоревшие, так и в сожжённые пожарами места обитания. В некоторых случаях семена Adriana quadripartita распространяются гораздо дальше; Rhytidoponera metallica составляют 93 % всех муравьёв, которые собирают эти семена и могут рассеивать их на расстоянии до . Было показано, что Rhytidoponera metallica, наряду с Aphaenogaster longiceps, по сравнению с другими видами муравьёв собирали наибольшее количество семян и выбрасывали их на вершине своего гнезда. Большинство семян, рассеянных муравьями Rhytidoponera metallica и A. longiceps, в конечном итоге съедаются муравьями из рода Pheidole. Так как семена имеют более высокую выживаемость, если их не собирает Pheidole, то два вышеназванных вида муравьёв более полезны для семян, чем Pheidole. Семена в муравейниках Rhytidoponera metallica прорастают редко.

Фуражировочные факторы, такие как время, проведённое вне гнезда, и расстояние, пройденное рабочими для поиска пищи, коррелируют с размером колонии. Рабочие, живущие в небольших колониях, как правило, добывают меньше пищи и проводят меньше времени на территории, тогда как рабочие в более крупных колониях проводят больше времени вне муравейника и на большем расстоянии от своего гнезда. Такие результаты были также замечены у медоносной пчелы (Apis mellifera), но, в отличие от пчёл, рабочие муравьи из малых и крупных колоний переносили одинаковую рабочую нагрузку. Сокращение времени на фуражировку может снизить риск гибели от крупных хищников и сэкономить энергию. Более короткие периоды фуражировки, наблюдаемые в небольших колониях, приводят к тому, что эти гнёзда сохраняют энергию и в целом ведут себя менее энергично. Групповой поиск происходит только в том случае, если рабочий встречает другого соплеменника, который сильно загружен ресурсами. Поскольку эти муравьи являются одиночными фуражировщиками и редко вербуют других обитателей гнезда, вероятность того, что рабочий встретится с другими, увеличивается, если они маркируют землю следовыми феромонами. Такое поведение может служить простым методом локализованной химической мобилизации других соплеменников из своего гнезда. Проведение маркировки следовыми феромонами усиливается, когда рабочие-разведчики сталкиваются с крупными кормовыми объектами добычи, что говорит о том, что фуражиры с тяжёлыми грузами намеренно пытаются повысить уровень встречаемости с соплеменниками. Однако, когда рабочие переносят мелких или крупных сверчков, маркировка территории следовыми феромонами снижается, чтобы обеспечить эффективность транспортировки и сократить время возвращения муравьёв. Рабочие могут быстро перенастроить свою деятельность по добыче пищи в соответствии с качеством кормового ресурса.

Крупные муравьиные колонии Rhytidoponera metallica демонстрируют возрастной кастовый полиэтизм, когда молодые рабочие действуют как няньки и ухаживают за потомством (яйцами, личинками и куколками), а старшие рабочие выходят из гнезда и добывают пищу. В небольших колониях возрастной кастовый полиэтизм не встречается, при этом роль нянек и фуражиров выполняют как молодые, так и старшие рабочие. Эти результаты показывают, что старение не является механизмом, который стимулирует труд в колониях. Появление возрастного полиэтизма в более крупных колониях является результатом специализации рабочих. Рабочие в небольших колониях обычно склонны к работе с личинками и другим потомством гораздо больше, чем рабочие в более крупных колониях, но это связано с дифференцированной социальной средой между малыми и большими обществами.

Жизненный цикл

Самцы у муравьёв Rhytidoponera metallica появляются нерегулярно в течение года и являются низколетящими муравьями. Роение муравьёв происходит в весенний для Южного полушария период с сентября до ноября при температуре , когда большинство самцов покидает свои муравейники.

Однако иногда самцы возвращаются в своё гнездо после краткого пребывания за пределами муравейника. Зеленоголовый муравей — это гамэргатный вид, что означает, что самцы могут успешно спариваться с рабочими.
Эти рабочие остаются вне своего гнезда с поднятыми вверх брюшками. Наблюдения показали, что рабочие сначала нападают на самцов, когда они впервые сталкиваются друг с другом, а затем самец садится на рабочего, хватая его мандибулами в области шеи и успешно прикрепляя себя. Оба муравья обычно остаются неподвижными, когда спариваются, но иногда рабочие могут ухаживать за собой (чиститься) или передвигаться несколько мгновений спустя, тем самым разъединяясь с самцом. В нескольких случаях было замечено, что рабочие двигались, как только начинается совокупление, и тащили самца, в конечном итоге освобождаясь от него. Копуляция обычно имеет продолжительность от  до почти одной минуты и происходит с . Большинство пар спариваются один раз, но некоторые другие могут совокупляться друг с другом дважды. В некоторых случаях самцы успешно спариваются с двумя рабочими, а некоторые пары могут вернуться в своё гнездо даже во время спаривания.

У муравьёв Rhytidoponera metallica редко обнаруживаются матки, но некоторые колонии изредка выращивают крылатых самок; матки могут создавать свои собственные колонии в неволе, но в дикой природе таких случаев не было зафиксировано, что говорит о том, что этот вид постепенно теряет свою касту маток. По наблюдениям в большинстве случаев было отмечено, что самцы спариваются с рабочими, но не с самками. Одним из факторов, предполагающих потерю касты маток, является то, что зеленоголовый муравей проходит через эволюционный процесс, в котором матки являются редкой морфологической формой, не имеющей большого значения, поэтому рабочие обычно заменяют маток и берут на себя репродуктивную роль. Матки по-прежнему участвуют в брачных полётах, поскольку некоторые из них были замечены в спаривании с самцами. Известно, что они выделяют половой феромон из пигидиальной железы, особой экзокринной железы, находящейся между двумя последними брюшными сегментами. Эргатоидные матки (бескрылые репродуктивные самки) выходят из своего гнезда и, как рабочие, прижимают голову к земле и поднимают кверху брюшко. Затем матки выпускают половые феромоны, которые привлекают самцов, которые отчаянно ищут маток посредством возбуждённого передвижения. Самцы могут пытаться совокупиться с рабочими, которые их не «зовут», но предположительно высвобождают эти феромоны. Когда самец вступает в контакт с маткой, он прикасается к ней своими антеннами и захватывает грудную клетку самки своими мандибулами. Матка готова к спариванию, когда она поворачивает брюшко в сторону, где самец будет искать гениталии своим копулятивным аппаратом (частями органа, участвующими в совокуплении). Пара может совокупляться в течение нескольких минут.

Новые колонии основывают оплодотворённые рабочие-гамэргаты, которые роют свои норки и откладывают яйца.
Наблюдения показывают, что большинство рабочих, создающих собственные колонии, следуют типичному поведению понериновых муравьёв и выращивают личинок, которых кормят, покидая иногда своё новое место обитания, чтобы добыть себе пищу. Однако лабораторные гнёзда, основанные рабочими, дают потомство только в виде самцов. Это означает, что новая колония, вероятно, образуется несколькими рабочими, покидающими своё родительское гнездо, из которых несколько особей оплодотворяются. В других случаях происходит почкование родительской семьи, когда одна его часть покидает гнездо.

Известно, что и некоторые матки могут создавать свои собственные колонии. Оплодотворённые матки могут успешно основать колонию в   условиях (как в случае, основанном единственной маткой, которая выходит из гнезда за едой, чтобы прокормить своих личинок), но развитие колонии сразу после основания колонии происходит очень медленно, тогда как другие виды Rhytidoponera имеют тенденцию расти быстрее.
Также есть явный признак разделения труда между матками и рабочими. После смерти матки рабочие могут иногда конкурировать и проявлять сексуальное поведение, что означает, что они могут размножаться в гнёздах без маток. Несмотря на почти полное отсутствие маток, дальнее расселение с крылатыми матками может иметь значение. Колонии начинаются с малого числа особей, но могут быстро развиваться до зрелого состояния. Личинки из яиц появляются спустя две-три недели, окукливаются примерно через месяц. В лабораторных гнёздах на второй год было менее ста рабочих особей.

Генетические закономерности показывают, что рабочие зеленоголового муравья спариваются с неродственными самцами из отдаленных колоний. Родство среди рабочих также очень низкое, и высока доля муравьёв-гамэргатов. Если все гамэргаты не родственны между собой, количество гамэргатов, живущих в гнезде, может достигать девяти; все эти гамэргаты участвуют в воспроизводстве молоди. Среднее количество гамэргатов может быть очень высоким, если они родственны и получают большую долю в воспроизводстве. Тем не менее в большинстве случаев гамэргаты, как правило, не родственны между собой, и они нечасто имеют определённую степень родства. Во многих колониях рабочие и гамэргаты следят за молодыми самками, что препятствует их яйцекладке.

Враги и мирмекофилы
Муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica являются добычей целого ряда хищников, включая клопов-хищнецов (Reduviidae) и австралийскую ехидну (Tachyglossus aculeatus), в фекалиях которой были обнаружены рабочие муравьи. Птицы также питаются этими муравьями, в том числе австралийский белый ибис (Threskiornis moluccus), чёрный коршун (Milvus migrans), солдатский чибис (Vanellus miles) и австралийский совиный козодой (Aegotheles cristatus). Рабочие муравьи и личинки могут быть заражены паразитами; осмотренные рабочие были замечены с куколками поздней стадии неопознанного паразита в их грудных сегментах. В гнёздах Rhytidoponera metallica иногда встречаются мирмекофильные насекомые, такие как жуки Chlamydopsis longipes.

Биохимия
В составе мандибулярных желёз зеленоголовых муравьёв обнаружено несколько феромонных веществ, используемых при химической коммуникации, включая следующие (по данным The Pherobase, первые три из списка найдены среди животных только у данного вида): 5-метил-3-(2-метилбутил)-2-E3-метилбутенил-пиразин (C15H24N2); 5-метил-3-изопентил-2-E3-метилбутенил-пиразин (C15H24N2); 5-метил-3-(2-метилбутил)-2-E3-метилпентенил-пиразин (C16H26N2); 2,5-диметил-3-(2-метилбутил)-пиразин (C11H18N2) и другие пиразины, алканы и алкены. Также в качестве следовых феромонов найдены изогераниол (Z-3,7-диметил-3,6-октадиен-1-ол; C10H18O) и 3-гидроксибензальдегид (C7H6O2).

Генетика
Диплоидный набор хромосом у самок и рабочих варьирует в широком диапазоне 2n = 22—24, 34—38, 41—44, 46, у самцов гаплоидный набор n = 17—22. Это изменение в отношении числа хромосом является следствием робертсоновского полиморфизма, при котором увеличение числа хромосом сопровождается сокращением  и увеличением . Например, в популяциях в Новом Южном Уэльсе при диплоидном наборе 2n = 36 число метацентриков равно 10, в наборе 2n = 42 и 44 число метацентриков уменьшается до 4 и 2 соответственно, а в 2n = 46 и вообще сводится к нулю. Однако фундаментальное число плеч хромосом у зеленоголовых муравьёв остаётся неизменным и равно 46.

Систематика

Вид был впервые описан в 1858 году британским энтомологом Фредериком Смитом под первоначальным названием Ponera metallica по двум синтипам: самке и рабочему (голотип указан не был), найденным около Аделаиды в Южной Австралии.
Этот материал в настоящее время хранится в Музее естествознания (Natural History Museum) в Лондоне. В 1862 году австрийский энтомолог Густав Майр перенёс этот вид из рода Ponera в состав таксона Rhytidoponera, который тогда был впервые описан в качестве подрода в составе рода Ectatomma. В 1863 году его включили в Ectatomma под названием Ectatomma metallicum. В 1897 году итальянский мирмеколог Карл Эмери обозначил его как Rhytidoponera metallica и в 1911 году указал в качестве типового вида для таксона Chalcoponera, подрода в составе Rhytidoponera; это в дальнейшем иногда приводило к ошибочной трактовке его как типа всего рода Rhytidoponera.

Таксономия зеленоголовых муравьёв и других близких с ними видов (составляющих группу видов R. metallica) вызвала путаницу из-за их большого географического разнообразия и похожих на них видов, которые ранее рассматривались как отдельные таксоны (морфологические формы). Эти формы были описаны под разными именами из-за неадекватных первоначальных характеристик. И только в 1958 году после обзора и ревизии этих сходных муравьёв в статье американского энтомолога Уильяма Брауна младшего было признано, что таксоны Rhytidoponera caeciliae, Rhytidoponera pulchra, Rhytidoponera purpurascens и Rhytidoponera varians являются синонимами зеленоголового муравья.

Научное латинское название R. metallica связано с металлически блестящей окраской тела (внешне напоминая ос-блестянок), так же как и обычное английское название насекомого,  ().
Помимо обычного названия «зеленоголовый муравей», в штате Квинсленд он широко известен как  (, так как скачет, как пони) или  (). Однако это может сбивать с толку людей, незнакомых с местной терминологией, поскольку жители северного Квинсленда называют азиатских зелёных муравьёв-портных (Oecophylla smaragdina) также  ().

Муравьи и человек
Муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica обладают сильным жалом, воздействие яда которого на кожу человека может быть болезненным, но недолгим. Для облегчения боли можно использовать пакет со льдом, но люди, испытывающие аллергическую реакцию, обычно доставляются в больницу для лечения.
Яд достаточно силен, чтобы вызвать анафилактический шок у чувствительных людей. В исследовании ядовитых австралийских муравьёв, проведённом в 2011 году, выяснилось, что из примерно тысячи австралийских видов муравьёв анафилактический шок могут вызвать только представители рода Myrmecia (чаще Myrmecia pilosula) и Rhytidoponera metallica. Сообщалось, что зеленоголовые муравьи были причиной смертности среди домашних птиц.

Несмотря на потенциальную опасность для чувствительных людей, муравьи Rhytidoponera metallica могут быть полезны. Они могут служить орудием биологической борьбы, например, убивая сельскохозяйственных вредителей, таких как термиты и личинки жуков и бабочек.

Whilst today's cool RVstuff are mostly equipped with all the perks that we can enjoy at our own dwelling place, at times we wish to make use of all the things that we have got even when we are away for a wonderful vacation or camping. When it comes to this kind of situation, a generator is a must-have. We often hear about generators and perhaps some of us already own them, but the truth is that we usually do not have in-depth insight regarding what appropriate model to purchase- a portable generator or the one that is RV full-size type?
More than that, a great number of experienced campers have mastered the tough approach that the RV class generator is the sole way to opt for. For a fact, the fundamental reasons are that these come with roughly three times the HP and operate at approximately 1800 rpm- as you see this is regarded as a lot more effortless to muffle. They are also designed with electric start and are constructed for several hours of simultaneous use.
However, if you think that you could not afford an RV class generator as of the moment, you can go for a portable generator as this is highly regarded as a viable alternative. Take in mind that picking the proper size portable RV generator may be a bit complex to determine since size does a very vital role when it comes to having adequate amount of electricity to perform the project. You prefer a generator that comes with superior enough wattage to perform the job, but not so big that it is extremely loud or requires high amount of fuel.
What makes it practical to purchase a portable generator to ensure a fun-filled and exciting experience for your RV Camping?
Needless to say, a handy generator could greatly help save a lot of hardships during power outage; however, this is also very advantageous when you go on camping or if you need to spend time in a construction site. Indeed, this can provide you the electricity you seriously require in order to power up or operate whatever is most valuable anywhere it is necessary.
How to pick the right model of portable generator for your needs?
Buying a generator is not a type of option that must not be taken seriously. This is definitely practical and economical, but the reality is that there are also some risks to sort out. There are substantial considerations when buying one and these comprise of the brand of the generator as well as the source of fuel used.
Please be guided that a generator might pose fatal health issues particularly if this is used incorrectly. The primary risk is referred to as carbon monoxide poisoning. It is worth noting that the source of fuel can highly make a huge difference when it comes to safety of the equipment.
Over and above, the choice of brand is actually a matter of the consumer's personal preference although diverse brands come with distinct reputations for quality. Interestingly, there are a number of brands that solely manufacture generators; on the other hand, other manufacturers provide a broad array of products.
Figure out your wattage requirements. See to it to identify the amount of power you require for the stuff you mostly care about.
Thoroughly think about the services and items that are included. Determine if the generator is offered with maintenance package or warranty. Carefully examine the funnel, wheels, oil and power cord. Learn more about the cost for setting it up if it will be installed by qualified technicians. Also check out if other accessories such as transfer switch, cover for protection from various elements are necessary or already included once the item is purchased.
Of course, it makes sense to ensure that the model of portable generator that you're eyeing to buy is affordable enough for the budget you set. Note that the prices of such equipment fall across a broad array which simply implies that figuring out the amount you would be willing to spend for this item is pivotal.
Thoroughly examine the special features. It is critical to understand that generators are often times manufactured with a wide range of features that can make its use a lot more effortless, convenient and safer for users. So, be sure to master more about what to search for when choosing the most appropriate set of features for your requirements.
When it comes to generator safety, it is highly recommended to make it a habit to go over the manual and instructions discreetly. Be certain to strictly adhere to the warnings and instructions in order to safely start and operate the equipment.

Karlowicz: Symphony In E Minor, Op. 7 "odrodzenie"
Label: DUX
Catalog: DUX1477
Format: SACD
Bergmann, Rune; Mieczyslaw Karlowicz Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
The Mieczyslaw Karlowicz Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra began its 2018 anniversary season by releasing an album featuring the only classical symphony of its patron. The event is all the more interesting because this high-tech recording is the first one which, together with the Szczecin Philharmonic, was conducted by maestro Rune Bergmann, who was fascinated by the work of Karlowicz, the artistic director of this institution. The choice of Rebirth at the beginning of the jubilee is not accidental, as this composition, perfectly illustrating the whole spectrum of emotions and states of mind accompanying us in key moments of life, in a specific way is also reflected in the rich history of the orchestra and its city. The programme and emotional ambiguity of the symphony causes its correct performance to have a radically different character. Hence it is particularly worth getting acquainted with the latest interpretation of Rune Bergmann, who, known for his energy, spontaneity, and unconventional approach to work, is mentioned among the most outstanding conductors of the Scandinavian countries.


The Kiwis continued their promising form in the sixth one day international match against the Sri Lankans, sealing the series with one game still to be played on Thursday. Corey Anderson was named man of the match in the 120-run rout, having taken four wickets in his allotted 10 overs after scoring a quickfire 40 runs with the bat.
The Black Caps batted first, and were able to score an imposing 315-8. An in-form Kane Williamson and experienced Ross Taylor, who hit 97 and 96 respectively, laid the foundation for a competitive total with 117-run third wicket partnership. By the time Williamson was dismissed, New Zealand had accumulated 178 runs and had over fifteen overs to cross the three hundred psychological milestone.
Allrounder Anderson, whose record of the fastest ODI century was recently broken, scored 40 runs from 28 balls which propelled the Kiwis' score to 315. The Sri Lankan bowlers were largely ineffective on a surface which did not assist after twentieth over, although Dhammika Prasad picked up two scalps.
In reply, Sri Lanka was unable to put up a fight, and were bowled out for 195 in the 41st over. The only form of resistance was in the form of a fighting half-century by legendary batsman Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 81 from just 66 balls as batsmen around him succumbed to the pressure of a big chase.
Anderson and Mitchell McClenaghan picked up four and two wickets respectively. The New Zealand quicks rocked Sri Lanka, but it was their fielders that sealed the game when they effected three run outs at crucial stages of the match.
New Zealand have been in great form in the fifty-over format of the game, having won three out of their last four series with Brendon McCullum as captain. Even though they have wrapped up the series, New Zealand will be hoping to win Thursday's game so that they can have a chance to rise to fifth position in the fifty-over international rankings.
This is Sri Lanka's last bilateral series before the World Cup, which will be played in New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand will play Pakistan in a two-match series starting Saturday before the sport's biggest tournament.

Abandoned bike, at the beginning was complete but with time the wheels were stolen. Now only the frame was left as you can see in the picture. The bike is already there for several months under the viaduct over Martins Way street.

Any score for this game?????
A good game, nice to see the Mustangs playing 3 line hockey. thought everyone played well, nice to see them being a bit more physical this season.
I do expect Romford to be in the bottom half of the table but on this showing I expect the mustangs to be pushing again.
Biggest plus point for me was the defence, very very good all game (only a couple of errors), we will always score goals with our firepower, but was lacking speed on D last year (no offence) but this year the pairings look very good, personally I would play Beerling on first but thats just my opinion.
It was entertaining, thanks guys.
How many penalties were there? Last season saw several games lost as the team played minute after minute 3 v 5 and yesterday was no different, just fortunate that Romford lacked any discipline as well. But a fair few fans there and cant get better than a win!
Oh I forgot to mention the reffing, "OH MY GOD" they were poor to say the least, some of the weakest calls I have seen in over 20 years of playing and watching hockey!!!!!
One call near the end was exactly the same as when I say hello to another player, a friendly tap on the leg pad, alrite mate etc and he called it!!!
And since when has knocking the pucks off of someones stick with a sweep of your stick been a penalty???
Any word on the 6 scorers?
Were they that old? Who was #24 for the stangs?
As for Romford, Joe Allen isnt the player he was and seems to have lost a yard or two of pace. Their #2 was good - no really, he was!
Joe Allen didn't even stand out.
Mustangs shouldn't have had a #24 as there isn't a #24 shirt!
I couldn't make the game, so don't know, but if Pete beerling was playing, even a bit rusty, he would look good. Very good player.
Chardie said he was one of the best Brit D men he played alongside and would have had him up in EPL back in the day, if he'd realised how good he was.
Pete Beerling could easily play in ED1 now and would be a great shut down defenceman!
"YOU'LL NEVER BEAT PETE BEERLING!"

Referendums: Power to the People?
I'm having problems sleeping. I never have problems sleeping. A nearly four- year-old is a perfect remedy for sleeplessness. But still I'm tossing and turning in my bed in the mountains of the Algarve, worried. I have a German friend who is an expert in electoral law in Bremen and works for Mehr Demokratie. He is a great advocator of referendums. He had almost convinced me that this was real democracy at work. I even gave him the subtitle of a book he wrote about the subject: 'Power to the People'. Switzerland, of course, is a Direct Democracy. All citizens have to vote for decisions pertaining to the governing of their country. It is law.
The first time I'd ever heard the word 'Referendum' was in the early nineties when I was in the collapsing Soviet Union and suddenly referendums started sprouting out of the cracked concrete. I didn't quite understand them then. I had always thought it was the job of MPs to represent the people. I was indignant. How dare they shift the blame of society collapsing to the people? To the Russians I knew at the time they simply couldn't keep up. They were groaning under the weight of them.
Now, largely thanks to having a friend who can talk on the subject for hours, I am much better informed about referendums but it has never really been part of the UK's democracy. As a result of our 'first-past-the-post' system many of us have never had votes that really count. If you vote Labour in a Conservative county it is unlikely that your vote will change anything. And vice versa. And with Lib Dems. If you know Lib Dems are winning over Labour chances are (if you are more left-wing) you will, most likely, vote Lib Dems to give them a chance. Tactical voting. Also, many people when they are cross with a government will vote the opposite or for a party that they know will have little chance simply as a protest vote. It sometimes works. But, mostly, our votes don't count for much.
A referendum is very different. All votes count. Even protest votes.
I try to try to explain this to my friend without crying. He is non-plussed.
'To me, it is clear,' he says. 'The people have spoken to leave the EU. There's no more to it.'
'But it was a campaign based on lies and racism,' I say. 'So many people who voted Leave are regretting their decision!'
'The Government had months to campaign.' His voice is cold, unemotional. 'Both sides had equal time and opportunity to explain their positions.'
'But people believed the lies that Farage was going to spend 350 million allocated to the EU on the NHS. Did you not see the posters of refugees queuing in to come in to Britain? It was shameful.'
He shrugs.
'People didn't really understand that their vote would count,' I continue even though I don't know how to translate 'first-past-the-post'. Elections in the UK are different, it's a first past… We are not used to referendums.'
'There was one a few years ago about the electoral system.'
It's true. There was one in 2011 about an Alternative Voting system which was defeated. Forty-two percent voted in it. The campaign was described in retrospect by political scientist Iain McLean as a "bad-tempered and ill-informed public debate."
'You are being an anti-democrat,' my friend swiftly concludes.
'And you are letting fascism rise!' I cry.
Maybe he's right. But.
Racism is ugly. I have lived in many different countries and I have experienced racism. It is not nice. Fortunately, I live in a tolerant society in Portugal and have never had 'Fuck off back to England' spayed on my wall. Yet. Racism is not genetic. It is taught. By other unhappy people, and taken advantage of by people who want power to define themselves.
Of course, if all the UK citizens did have to fuck off back to Britain imagine what would happen. Up to five million Brits coming back. The drain on the NHS (most of us are older) and many don't work that much so we wouldn't be paying into society (not like the Polish anyway). That's not clever.
I am not an expert. I am only one person. But I am not an anti-democrat. I accept the result. That won't stop me, however, from democratically reeling against it. It seems to me that we need to think very carefully about holding referendums until we, as a society, are ready. There is a lot more groundwork to be done. We need rules. We need to decide what percentage needs to vote for a result to be acted upon. What does abstention mean? We need to decide if it has any constitutional hold (it doesn't at the moment). We need campaigns based on truth, not lies – and we need an independent body to regulate this. We could practise with something like, 'should voting rights be extended to UK citizens living in the EU and other countries' – people who have been excluded from voting about their future. We should make sure that everyone really understands the power of the people before risking another fiasco such as Britain's withdrawal from the EU. But I guess we know all that now. For me, my first referendum was a baptism in fire.

Oxford Biosystems Ltd sources and supplies high quality in-vitro diagnostic products and research tools for clinical and research laboratories. Areas covered include specialised clinical laboratory products and automated solutions, point of care testing systems and products for food and beverage analysis.
BBI Brandboost has been working with Oxford Biosystems since 2012, providing website design, website development, online marketing, SEO and social media services over that time. The service levels required varied from month to month and flexibility was required in the programme to meet biomedical and scientific developments with differing types of focused marketing strategies. However, working on a project-by project basis would lead to fluctuations in the Oxford Biosystems marketing budget that the client wished to avoid. BBI Brandboost had the solution to this problem.
Following a meeting in March 2015, we recommended that Oxford Biosystems should adopt the Brandboost Credits formula as a means of managing its marketing budget. BBI Brandboost developed its Brandboost Credits service so that businesses can flex their on-line campaigns according to their monthly/seasonal requirements. Using this method, they can spread their marketing spend evenly to avoid large expenditure in any one month.
This flexibility allows businesses to deploy their selected marketing and communications initiatives when they wish to. They can choose the time that is right for them and request additional services without impacting on their monthly marketing budget.
Oxford Biosystems were attracted by the Brandboost Credits concept from the outset and have been using the programme ever since. They have been able to use their credits when peak activities are required while being able to spread their marketing spend evenly throughout the year.
The Brandboost Credits service gives them the consistency of a retained fee service with the flexibility to allocate individual campaigns and projects at the times that suit them best. This has allowed them to follow strategies that will create maximum impact over any given period. The client has declared that Brandboost Credits have been a highly successful budgeting support for their marketing programme.


Here is the synoposis of our sample term paper on Organizational Structure, Delaware County Community College. Have the paper e-mailed to you 24/7/365.
This 6 page research paper offers an overview of Delaware County Community College, which includes the role of advanced practice nursing at this institution. Bibliography lists 5 sources.


Christie Blatchford, author of Helpless: Caledonia's Nightmare of Fear And Anarchy, And How The Law Failed All of Us, has published an inspiring profile CANACE co-founder Merlyn Kinrade, a staunch ally in the struggle for justice since Jan 20/07 when he — as described in Helpless — first clambered up the side of a hill near Canadian Tire when I asked for a volunteer to hold my Canadian flag (photo, L) while I gave my 'Blue Beret' speech.
Through Blatchford, Merlyn reveals publicly what we have known privately for some time: he is battling cancer that is spreading through his body, and that he has no regrets whatsoever about taking time away from his wife and daughter to fight for justice in his community and country.
Blatchford's article references a day when he blocked traffic for 40 minutes (after the road was first blocked by native protesters) even though he was sick with hives. This was Dec 01/07, the day we were attacked by Six Nations smokeshack supporters at a protest against one of the illegal ventures…when Gary McHale and Jeff Parkinson were sent to hospital, and I was also assaulted (but uninjured). The picture below is of Merlyn holding a sign that day (which I made) that says, 'TWO TIER JUSTICE VICTIMIZES NATIVE PEOPLE TOO!' I use this image as part of my header at the Caledonia Victims Project site where you can read more about it.
Blatchford's National Post article includes two photos of Merlyn being arrested as one of the Caledonia Eight on Dec 03/11. They are credited to Never Again Group member Steve Scheffer who has come to Caledonia on several occasions to support our protests.
A reliable source says that secret meetings have been taking place in Haldimand County regarding the occupied Douglas Creek Estates following the arrests of the Caledonia Eight on Dec 03/11 for 'trespassing' on a county road that passes through the occupation site.
On Monday Dec 19/11 Haldimand Council held an in camera meeting to discuss the Douglas Creek Estates.
On Wednesday, Dec 21/11 Ontario's Minister of Aboriginal Affairs visited Haldimand County to meet with Mayor Ken Hewitt for another private meeting to discuss the Douglas Creek Estates.

A Comprehensive Approach to Translation. Reconciling Antagonistic Orientations in Contemporary Translation Studies
Contemporary Translation Studies are characterised by the dominance of two key antagonistic approaches. Although the application of each approach has generated fruitful research, their theoretical positions persist in a mutual exclusivity. To contrast this antagonism, this paper proposes the first theoretical steps in a constructive junction between the two orientations. The focus derives from a personal translating experience of contemporary poems and from the related rationale for the possible ways of solving translation problems. The standpoint is grounded on Umberto Eco's notion of negotiation between two main contemporary trends, the source-oriented and the target-oriented approaches. The perspective is thus proposed using a double-bound relationship—to the ST and its factors, and to the TT and its communicative conditions.
