Objective: This paper investigated the possibility of advocating usage of SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Eigenfactor Score and H5 index indicators as alternative to the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) for quality assessment in the field of mechanical engineering. Researchers and librarians concerns of methods of scientific journal ranking regarding publication language, analysis time and self-citation impact amongst other factors are addressed through suggested alternatives. Method: The SJR, ES, H5 index and JIF scores and ranking order of mechanical engineering journals were downloaded from the relevant websites. Pearson and Spear man’s correlation coefficients were calculated to test linear and monotonic hypotheses for association between different journal quality metrics. Selected coefficients were adopted for assessing linear and monotonic relationships of chosen variables and ranking values, respectively. Result: A very strong positive correlation was found between the scores and ranking order based on the SJR, ES, H5 and JIF of selected journals. Hence, academics and researchers in mechanical engineering are encouraged to use the SJR, ES and H5 indicator as an alternative to JIF for evaluation and judgment of scientific journals in the area.

People can read this article and learn that there are many weight loss tips that can really help anyone to help themselves to lose weight and then keep that weight off and that these are a rare commodity these days. This is not how it should be, of course.
But the relentless surge of glossy magazines and other powerful media such as television and Hollywood to convince everyone that they should be as thin as the scantily clad models they display simply places too much pressure on people. It gives them unrealistic goals so that when they try to emulate these stick thin models, they are doomed to failure almost every time.
The whole weight loss thing (see weightlossgenius.com for more details) is out of hand and people are either jumping onto the treadmill, already on it, or are jumping off having lost some weight and are now going to revert back to their former ways and put all that weight back on again plus some more.
One of the most sought after of all the weight loss tips is how to lose weight and stay slim.I'm here to tell you that there is no one weight loss tip that fits that description, but there are a collection of good weight loss tips that will come as close as is humanly possible to making that a reality.
The following weight loss tips are simple, common sense techniques that anyone can use to lose weight and stay slim, but there is a catch. You have to first be sufficiently motivated to want to lose weight in order that you will stick with these weight loss tips and thereby not only lose weight but keep it lost!
Which, when you think about it is all any good weight loss program requires for it to work.
That's why so many fail. There are so many weight loss system reviews. Its not that the weight loss program itself is flawed. Its just that perhaps either it is too difficult to continue with, or it lacks sufficient motivational qualities to keep people with it. What people that are lacking willpower need is a more than just motivation to stick with any weight loss program. They need to feel that while their weight loss plans are helping them to lose weight, it is also fun and enjoyable to do.
Let's face it, where is the fun in eating a strict diet of a narrow selection of foods that don't inspire any enjoyment? None at all, so the diet will fail. By the same token, where is the enjoyment in punishing your body with a set of tough exercise routines that you have to do religiously every day or so at a gymnasium with a load of other sweaty, grim looking devotees?
It takes a whole body approach to weight loss and that also includes your mind. That's because when you have your mind trained to do a certain thing, the body follows with ease.
How do you train your mind to make your body lose weight?
Using simple self-hypnosis techniques to attain deep relaxation, then using self suggestions repetitively to teach the mind to do what you want it to. Once you have achieved this, anything you do with your body to help it to lose weight will do exactly that, with much more success and ease than you might have thought possible!
One of the best ways to get your mind into a relaxed state is to place yourself into a comfortable place where you will not be interrupted with a comfortable chair, sofa or bed that you can let your body really relax into. It helps also to have some soothing background music playing quietly. Follow my post on self hypnosis and the simple breathing and visualisation techniques to deeply relax you, then either create for yourself a series of positive weight loss suggestions, or alternatively download my Weight Loss MP3 file which is specially designed for just this purpose.
Spend about 30 minutes or so just relaxed and repeating the weight loss suggestions silently to yourself, or have my weight loss MP3 playing and you will be effortlessly training your mind to help your body to lose the amount of weight you want to lose in order to achieve your ideal weight and body shape.
Following on from training your mind, the next step is training your body to lose weight. This is something that is much more simple than would have been without the prior mind training.
The first thing you can do is to start going outdoors and walking. Not strolling, but walking at a reasonable pace. Enough to make you breathe a little harder than normal. And for long enough that by the time you return home you feel like you've done yourself some real good. This would normally be more than 30 minutes, but if you're starting from scratch you have to build up to this gradually day by day in order that you don't overstretch your muscles too soon and damage them.
You could also find an activity that you would enjoy doing on a regular basis, like swimming. Swimming is one of the best exercises you can do for toning up your body all over because you use so many muscle groups. Plus swimming is really fun. Go with some friends and make a social time of it. You can still enjoy yourselves in the pool and at the same time be toning up your muscles that will in turn use more calories and help you to lose weight!
Doing light exercises like walking and swimming will not cause you to lose weight fast. This is not the way to lose weight in any case as fast weight loss usually results in fast weight gain down the road, so go at it gradually and don't be in a rush to weigh yourself every day. Resist that urge! Maybe allow yourself to peek at the scales once a week and if you've lost a pound or two in that week then congratulate yourself. That is perfect. Even if you have not lose anything, but also not gained anything but your body is starting to look a tiny bit more toned, you can congratulate yourself.
Weight loss is not so likely to start happening right away and there is a very good medical reason for that.
When anyone embarks on a weight loss program that involves exercise, the body starts to build muscle bulk. This is normal and highly desirable. It doesn't mean you'll start looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger but it does mean that your muscles will increase in density and mass. Muscle weighs more than fat, per unit of volume, so while at first your body's level of fat will remain the same, its level of muscle will increase so if anything you will appear to gain a pound or two if you are starting very slowly.
To begin to lose some of your body's volume of stored fat, you need to be doing cardiovascular exercise for more than 20 minutes. That is because in the first 20 minutes of exercise, the body is burning up the sugars (primarily glucose) contained in the bloodstream to feed the muscles with the energy they need to do the extra work. After 20 minutes, the blood's sugar reserves will be used up and the liver will then release more glucose into the bloodstream, which it processes from your store of fat cells.
This is when your body starts to deplete its store of fat and you lose the excess weight contained in those fat cells.
The good part follows after several weeks of keeping this up. As your muscles become nicely toned and used to the extra work your body is doing, they become more efficient at burning up sugars and you'll get to the stage where even at rest, those muscles are still burning excess sugars in your bloodstream. This means that whatever calories you consume in the form of food, your body is now burning them up as fast as you can consume them. You attain your ideal weight and body shape and keep it by continued daily exercise, which keeps your muscles working for you.
The last thing that you need to know is really a no brainer, but I'll include it here anyway. That is diet.
By using these weight loss tips, you don't actually need to go on what is commonly regarded as a "diet". However, you will have to be a little more selective in what you eat. You don't need to cut out much, but just be aware of what is good for your body and what is bad for your body! Cut back on the bad stuff while keeping the good stuff. That's not very technical sounding, but it is what it is.
The bad foods include burgers, fries, pizzas, hot dogs, fried foods, cakes, biscuits... etc. Also stay away from sugary, fizzy soda drinks even if they are "diet" drinks. These contain artificial sweeteners that current research is showing will cause you to gain weight as well as increasing your risk of certain cancers. Stick to plain water or fruit juice where possible.
Ok, you don't have to be a saint and the odd pastry or chocolate bar is allowed. Just follow common sense and keep these bad foods to a minimum rather than cut them out altogether. That way you still have something to look forward to when you eat, rather than just a stick of celery!
Think positive and be positive and you will achieve what you desire through your own desire to achieve!

Cremation is increasing in popularity more now than ever before. More than 50 percent of Americans are now choosing to be cremated when they die instead of the more traditional burial. The National Funeral Directors Association reported that only 43.5 percent of individuals who died in 2016 were buried. They expect that rates will continue to rise and predict that more than 75 percent of those who die will be cremated by 2035.
One of the primary reasons for the increase in the use of cremation equipment is the desire for less religious undertones during a funeral. Fewer people are focusing on a ceremony that requires a religious official, such as a minister. Simplicity is key – as individuals feel like there is no need for a burial if the funeral if a simple gathering, making cremation a much more sought out option.
Certain religions previously prohibited cremation as going against sacred rules, but have recanted as society has become more modernized. Even the Catholic Church has allowed cremation since 1963, with restrictions on where the ashes were deposited being limited to cemeteries. The west coast has higher rates of cremation, likely due to the more traditional values being concentrated in the states on the east coast.
Cost is yet another factor that is causing cremation equipment use be more frequently used. It’s not as expensive to have someone cremated and to spread an individual’s ashes or bury them as it is to purchase a casket and have a traditional burial. The economy is having a significant impact on peoples’ decisions because cremation can be as much as 1/3 of the cost of a funeral. This is especially true in unexpected deaths where life insurance isn’t available or there are no savings for afterlife expenses.
Conventional burials are also more restrictive because they require everyone to gather at a location that might not be feasible due to work, school or distance. Cremation also allows for unconventional ways to reserve space, such as keeping the ashes in an urn or sprinkled over a favorite location as instructed by the deceased before their passing.
The trend of an increase in cremations doesn’t appear to be shifting in direction anytime soon and the funeral industry is rushing to adapt to stay in business. Fewer burials mean less profit in that aspect, so they must focus on memorials and viewings that generate income and allows funeral services to operate. Cremation is becoming the new norm, and society is beginning to recognize and accommodate it.

The nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines is comprised of eight inhabited islands and about two dozen other islands and cays. These islands are at the lower end of the Lesser Antilles and the Windward Islands. Scattered across the populated islands are guesthouses, hotels, and all-inclusive resorts, some with their own islands. Other remote and untouched islands in this area have retained their natural beauty, and remain private spots accessible by boat. This area has some of the best yachting in the Caribbean.
A vacation to his mother's home country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines led to Scott's becoming the national-team coach.
Philadelphia Inquirer. Wednesday, 11 Jul 2018 21:31:37 GMT.
Early residents on these islands were the Carib and Arawak Indians. At one point, these Indians rescued some shipwrecked slaves and intermarriage produced Black Caribs. The British came in 1722 and established sugar plantations. Many of the plantations were later destroyed by a hurricane, as well as by a volcanic eruption. As a result of these types of disasters, St Vincent and the Grenadines have taken longer to develop their tourist trade.
St Vincent, the largest populated island in the group, features a rain forest, cultivated valleys, and an active volcano. Kingstown is the capital city of St Vincent and the Grenadines, and its tourist attractions include a cruise ship terminal as well as the Botanic Gardens, which were established in 1765. Outside Kingston, the Montreal Estate Gardens grow in the Mesopotamia region, and Hadley Blooms, an anthurium nursery, produces beautiful flowers. Saint Vincent also hosts a volcano, La Soufrière, and a waterfall, the Falls of Baleine. For a day trip, consider a cruise aboard the Friendship Rose, a traditional, hand-built Caribbean schooner.
The Grenadines offer small hotels, simple food, and secluded, white sand beaches. The coves around these islands are among the finest snorkeling locales on Earth. Some of the Grenadine islands have airstrips that service a cluster of smaller islands. Boatbuilders and fishermen are common sights, and most communities on these islands are linked by boat service.
Just an hour south of Kingston by ferry, Bequia has plenty of unique opportunities for tourists. Shops, restaurants, Spring on Bequia (a hotel, working studio, and art gallery), the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, and a whaling museum are among the attractions vying for your time.

Food For Thought I love to be creative. I love making things. I love painting and drawing and scrapbooking and making arrangements for home décor. I love taking photographs of nature and, of course, I love creating things in the kitchen. Now, I’m not necessarily good at all these things, but they bring me peace, calm, and joy. Who couldn’t use more of that in their life?
To be honest, though, I never really thought of these hobbies and past times as anything more than that…things I could do to pass time that made me smile a little more in my day. But my thoughts on creativity have been evolving. One of the reasons for this is my Bible journaling. I try to do at least a page or two every week, in addition to my regular daily Bible studies. As I’ve been growing in this process, I began to think about how grateful I am that God blesses us with opportunities to be creative.
This may sound a little bit philosophical, but I think we, as the human race, are meant to be creative. I believe this because we are created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27) and God is the master creator, is He not? God took nothing and turned it into something glorious and beautiful…everything from the majestic mountain peaks to the deep blue waters of the oceans, from enchanting flora and fauna to the twinkling starlight of night, from sunrise to sunset, in all their glorious colors. While I don’t feel mankind’s creation can rival that of the Master, I do believe we are compelled to make beautiful things.
Some are able to make beautiful music with voice or instrument. Some create art with their graceful movements through dance. Some create and inspire awe with their athletic abilities. Fine wood craftsmen turn simple blocks of wood into a beautiful piece of furniture. There are those whose words are a form of creative splendor, penning prose and poetry or engaging works of fiction. Interior designers, fashion designers, engineers…all creators of beautiful things. Crafters bring together an assortment of goods and turn them into wonderful handmade items, simply by using their hands and imaginations. Still others enjoy and participate in the visual arts. In all of these ways, we are being creative, taking the simple and making it magnificent.
As I was setting personal goals for 2019, one of my goals is to spend a little time every day creating and in these moments of creating I will praise the Master Creator. I will praise the One who makes all things beautiful, even me, in our unique ways. I will praise the One who gives the talents and skills to all and thank Him for the blessings of being able to use these abilities. I will praise the One who lets me see beauty in so many ways in a world that can be so dark and cold. I will praise the One who created it all, with a plan and a purpose, knowing that I have a place among that creation, no matter how small a role.
Will you join me this year, using your own creativity to praise the Creator? What are your favorite ways to create? How can you praise His name through your creative activities?
You know we have to do some kind of creative project today, considering our topic, right? Well, Valentine’s Day is coming up and we like to decorate for most any calendar holiday at our house. That means this weekend I pulled out the craft paints and art supplies and made two of the simplest projects for Valentine’s Day. Simple and cute is a good combo, so today I’m sharing what I made and how I did it.
Premade adhesive burlap flowers and small papercraft flowers…on clearance for $1 each!
The adhesive on the backs of these burlap flowers is pretty strong. I’ve had no issue with them sticking to the wood signs, but you can always add a drop of craft glue if you’re unsure.
Add larger flowers first to indicate a bouquet in the jar. Fill in with smaller flowers as desired. My smaller paper flowers were not adhesive so I used craft glue to place them. Allow to dry a few hours prior to hanging.
Paint an ombre’ effect with Valentine colors on the wood sign. I started with lightest at top, working down to the darkest color. Allow to dry 24 hours.
Paint any embellishments and allow to dry 24 hours. I painted this chipboard “love” with the same red paint as my sign.
When pieces are dry, use craft or wood glue to attach embellishments. I used my painted word along with some burlap and paper flowers in corresponding colors.
Insert twine through the slats of the sign. I was able to tie mine to the support wood on the back of the sign, being sure to knot well. Add mini clothespins and photos.
All this Valentine crafting has me in the mood to put out our Valentine decorations. My daughter, even though she turns 12 in the next couple weeks, loves that I put out holiday and seasonal decorations in our home. She and I both enjoy it, and that’s what it’s really all about, isn’t it? So here are a few pictures from our decorating (and cleaning) spree this weekend.
Valentine Mantle, featuring special photos, candles, sign, teddy bear, wood block hearts, filled vase, and tin “LOVE” banner.
Close-up on Valentine mantle; glass vase filled with glass hearts, red, white and neutral spheres, and red heart picks.
A wood crate become a seasonal home for some of our favorite Valentine stuffies, along with a Valentine throw and sign.

The coalition is headed by TechNet and WE R HERE, which between them represent thousands of technology officials and businesses nationally.
Cuomo’s plan, said to be first in the nation, would require online marketplace providers like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay that process a minimum of $100 million in sales a year from New York buyers to collect sales taxes on behalf of third-parties who use their platforms and are located outside of New York but sell goods to state residents. Sales taxes are already collected when a third-party seller is located in New York.
The Cuomo administration estimates the change could bring in about $200 million in new state revenue over the next two years.
"We understand these on-line stores would prefer to let the loophole stand - it gives them a competitive advantage over New York's brick and mortar retailers - but the tax code should reflect the principles of fairness and equal treatment,” said Cuomo budget spokesman Morris Peters.
A poll commissioned by the coalition of tech companies found 69% of New Yorkers oppose the proposal.

Fast moving and a great workout, but definitely not for beginners!
Great music, great workout, great instructor, nice reception. Only wish it wasn’t heated.
Not a yoga class at all. Just a few sun salutations in the beginning, then blaring pop music and a disjointed set of Pilates exercises.
Great early morning class to start your day!
Great way to start the day! 100% Enjoyed it.
It's a great class to start the day. The moves were challenging for a newbie, but I enjoyed the pace, length, temperature and style of Jumin's class.
Fast paced yoga and an amazing ab workout!
Perfect class if you have done Yoga before but haven't been in a while.

California State law allows local governments to regulate commercial cannabis activities in their respective jurisdictions. The City of Santa Clara is currently taking steps to implement local cannabis health and safety regulations to protect citizens and conform with new state regulations.
The City will continue to update this webpage as part of our ongoing effort and encourages the public to participate throughout the process by attending meetings and offering constructive input.
On June 27, 2016, the State enacted the Medical Cannabis Regulatory Safety Act (MCRSA) to protect residents’ use of medical cannabis and to establish regulations for personal and commercial medical cannabis activity.
On November 8, 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) to regulate personal and commercial non-medical marijuana activity. Proposition 64 passed by a State-wide margin of 57%, with 50.5% support in Santa Clara County, and 55.8% support in the City of Santa Clara.
On January 1, 2018 the State began issuing temporary commercial licenses for medicinal and non-medicinal cannabis. Many California cities and counties are now implementing local cannabis regulations.
The City of Santa Clara has taken several steps to address the complex and dynamic implementation process for limited and well-regulated local cannabis commercial activities. The City will continue to update its website to provide additional information and receive feedback. Please check the tentative schedule of the process below, as well as the News, Events, and FAQ sections of this webpage for more information.
CITY OF SANTA CLARA COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY MEASURE: To maintain fiscal stability/essential city services, including rapid 911 emergency response times; preventing cuts to police officers/firefighters; repairing streets/potholes; maintaining library/youth/senior services, shall an ordinance be adopted establishing a tax on commercial cannabis up to 10% of gross receipts and up to $25 per square foot for cultivation, generating approximately $2,200,000 annually until ended by voters, with annual independent audits, and all funds used locally?
City Council adopted a Resolution calling for a Special Municipal Election on November 6, 2018 for a vote on a ballot measure which would amend Title 3 "Revenue and Finance" of the Code of the City of Santa Clara by adding a new Chapter entitled "Cannabis Business Tax."
June 30, 2019: End of City's temporary ban on commercial cannabis activities, unless Council adopts Amendment to Zoning Code Section 18.102.010 to extend the temporary ban.

One of the common phrases I hear at school is, “Ugh, I’m so stressed out,” so I took a closer look as to why. High school is a difficult bridge between childhood and adulthood, with teen stress stemming from many factors, most notably academic and social concerns.
Academics are rigorous, with challenging curriculums, large amounts of homework and standardized tests. Working to succeed becomes especially difficult when mixed with a multitude of extracurricular commitments, such as clubs, sports, performance groups, jobs and more. It is not uncommon for teens to arrive home at six or seven o’clock and still have two or three hours of homework to complete for the next day. On top of this daily time crunch, many teens are also concerned about the future—whether intended or not, teens feel the pressure to know what career path and/or college they should choose.
High school is exciting, but it can be overwhelming. With an increased workload, challenging academics and an abundance of extracurricular activities, it’s easy to become stressed and caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all. While it may be difficult to find a few hours to relax, it’s easy to take a few minutes to re-align yourself through simple meditations. Deep breathing, visualization, mantras and other techniques offer opportunities to focus inward and disconnect from all our present worries and obligations.
School lunches with high levels of undesirable fats and carbohydrates are a huge issue across the nation. How do we get good tasting, healthy food choices in schools that kids will enjoy? Schools need to adopt a sound nutritional philosophy to support their students’ well-being and provide tasty, healthy choices.

If you have a charge pending in a Mobile Municipal Court, you need to hire at an attorney as soon as possible. Generally, you can be sentenced to up to six months in jail plus a $500 fine plus court costs on any charge pending in the city court. There is one exception. If you have a DUI pending in a city court, the judge can sentence you up to 365 days in jail and a fine starting at $600 plus court costs.
I regularly practice before many municipal courts in Mobile County and Baldwin County. Different city courts have different ways of handling different charges along with a different handling the payment of fines and court costs. Some city courts have additional requirement that a defendant must also complete to be in compliance with the court’s order. That is why is always important that you hire an attorney That has practiced before that Municipal Court.
When Does Mobile Municipal Court Meet?
Mobile City Court meets every day of the week. Some of the court dockets are devoted solely to the traffic court and some to criminal court. The court is located on the second floor of the Government Plaza which is located at 205 Government Street, Mobile, Alabama. They have several judges that rotate through the docket. The docket is just a list of all people that has a court appearance on that day to hear the merits of their particular case. A specific Mobile docket schedule is listed below.
What if I have a warrant because I missed court?
Mobile municipal court used to have a add-on docket for people that have missed court and consequently had a warrant issued for their arrest because of their failure to appear in court. Now generally, there are two ways to handle this matter. First they can hire an attorney and have the attorney filed a motion to recall the warrant. Additionally, the attorney will request a trial date. The second way, the person can turn themselves in at the Metro Jail and bond out again. However, the defendant will more than likely have a cash bond, which means he/she will have to pay their entire bond to get out of jail.
How are the payment of fines and court costs handled?
If you are found guilty or you plead guilty, typically you will be given an opportunity to pay your court cost and fines on a schedule. All the money is not due that day. However, I always suggest to my clients if they can afford to pay it, they should pay the entire amount that day. Obviously, this will eliminate the possibility of the client getting called back in the court for failure to pay the court fines and cost.

And so what do you do when you have the day of? You of course start cooking like a maniac! And in between all the cooking I also had to have lunch. I still had some prawns in the freezer and they’re pretty easy to work with even in their frozen state. I normally always defrost as I kind of feel it is easier to keep track if they are done or not, when they’re thawed. But this was quick and easy and the prawns turned out quite good.
For making this I used a recipe from Nomnompaleo where she makes a whole30 approved sriracha. It’s spicy and delicious and works perfectly here. If it’s too much for you, adding a tiny bit of honey will take the kick out of it.
If you’re on a whole30 keep in mind that fish sauce usually contains a bit of sugar. I haven’t been able to find one without but I love the stuff so use it anyway.
For the sriracha I use a recipe by Nomnompaleo. Link is in the recipe for that. Add an extra half hour for preparing that!
Break the eggs in a bowl and add the fish sauce and 1 tbsp of the sriracha. Mix well to combine.
Heat a pan and pour half of the egg mixture into it, swirling the pan to make a thin omelette. Wait until the top is dry and than take it out of the pan, fold in half. repeat for the second one.
Delicious flavours and mouthwatering Asian omelette.

The bookshop was founded by Miguel Miranda Vicente in 1949. At that time, it was located on the Prado Street, next to the Athenian of Madrid. Don Miguel relished alternating between the life of a bohemian bookseller, athenian, and intellectual and his life as an actor in the Spanish Theater of Madrid. Little by little, he became more captivated by the world of books until he left the theater to devote himself entirely to his bookshop. Over time, the shop became a social gathering place for academics, intellectuals, university professors, and many others of diverse cultures and interests. The social and intellectual life of the shop was almost as important to Miguel as the books he was selling. He would later transfer to a location on Lope de Vega Street. In 1980, another shop was opened on San Pedro Street, directed by Miguel's son and disciple, Miguel Miranda Miravet. Since his father's death in 1997, the son has taken over all aspects of the business, which he operates from the location on Lope de Vega Street.

Starting out as a child, Beth Morgan took to kayaking like a fish to water. From a holiday hobby, paddling turned into a career. Ever since her first visit to India, Beth has been hooked onto the wild, tumbling rapids of India’s great rivers, from the Iruvanzhi in the south to the Zanskar in the north, and across the sub-continent.
In 2015, she stole the show at the Malabar River Festival, winning the Rapid Rani crown and then defending it the following year. Earlier this year, she finished first in the women’s expert at the North West Creeking Competition on the East Fork Lewis River in Washington, and third on the Canyon Creek Race nearby.
Currently working as a raft guide in Quebec, Canada, Beth is training to compete in races around the country, already topping the podium at the Neilson Race, Rouge Challenge and Hollywood Head 2 Head. She’ll soon storm the waters at the Montreal Eau Vive and Seven Sisters Slalom over the next few months.
How did you get into kayaking?
When I was a child, my father would often go kayaking and my uncle used to be a coach. I learned during our family vacations to France when I was about 12. Back then it was just a holiday thing. I joined the canoeing club at university and it took over my life. I did it all the time. All of my holidays turned into kayaking.
When did you know you were really hooked?
In the second year of university, I really immersed myself in the club. I was canoeing every weekend. When I graduated, I went travelling and had planned on doing a bit of kayaking and a bit of touristy stuff. But I ended up going kayaking the whole time. This is, maybe, when it turned into an obsession.
What has India been in this journey for you?
It’s my third time in India. Earlier I came for the Malabar River Festival in 2015, and then I went to Meghalaya in October of that year. I recently quit the job I had for the past three years and am just travelling and kayaking.
And how does that work, living that life?
It’s pretty amazing. I think it was a lot more natural to slip into the life than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a bit more of a challenge to go from working five days a week every week to coming out here.
I always feel really at home in Asia. I’ve travelled a lot here; I’ve been to Nepal, Indonesia. I really love it and it feels right. Coming to India first has really helped with going into that lifestyle. It’s somewhere that I’ve been, it’s somewhere that I love and I feel very comfortable.
Tell us what you’ve been up to in the world of kayaking lately.
After my six month trip in India and Nepal last year, I returned to the UK for a couple of months to see friends and family. Then I headed to California and Washington for three weeks for the North West Creeking Competition and the East Fork Lewis Race.
At the end of April, I headed to Canada and did my raft guide training in Quebec. I’m now working as a raft guide for the summer and learning French as well! I’ve been doing a lot of kayaking as well and will be racing in competitions too.
When I get time off from rafting, I’m hoping to explore some more rivers in the area, particularly up around Quebec city and Saguenay. The Tareau, Valin and Mistassibi are top of my list!
Then when the season ends in October, I am thinking of going to the Green Race before heading to South America for the winter.
So, competitive racing or going down the river?
Going down river. I’ve done a bit of competitive racing but I’m trying to get into it more. In the last six months, I’ve been trying to get into slalom to improve my race head. I put a lot of pressure on myself but I don’t do a lot of racing so I don’t really know how to. I felt a lot more relaxed this year, which was nice. It’s definitely something I want to do more of but if I had to choose, I’d just do it for fun.
I think it’s a very different way of paddling because you’re on your own and you’re totally focused on just racing. It’s a very interesting way of paddling because I find it hard to just focus on kayaking and not think about everything else – not worry about other people on the river or about myself when I’m on the river.
So I guess paddling as a child was really useful to give you this direction in life. Where around the world and in India have you gone kayaking?
I’ve paddled in a lot of places – around Europe, Nepal, India, Indonesia. In India, I’ve paddled in Meghalaya. The rivers are a lot bigger there, and in Kerala they are smaller and you need the rain.
In Meghalaya in the monsoons, the rivers are quite scary so you need to wait for the rains to stop so the water drops. They are a bit more consistent.
It’s good to have a variety and I’ve just been to Ladakh where the rivers have larger volume, the kind I’ve not done much of before so that’s quite exciting. Zanskar is really nice.
It’s an entirely different country in every place. What does it feel like to you? Is there anything that connects the people? Or are they just different people?
They’re different people but everyone is really friendly and welcoming. They are really excited to see you. Ladakh is quite touristy.
It’s a bit different in Kerala and they’re not quite used to seeing westerners. It’s not touristy every season. Being a kayaker is not what they see every time. So they’re still quite excited. You feel like a celebrity, which is a little bit weird.
Tell us how India’s events compare to the others you have competed in.
I think Malabar River Festival is quite unique compared to other ones I’ve done in the sense that it’s got different categories. It’s got slalom, boatercross and downriver. That’s fun, exciting and good because it means that the winner is more of an all-rounder rather than just one particular event.
The atmosphere here is just incredible. I’ve never been to a competition where you get so many locals who don’t really know anything about kayaking coming out and supporting you on the sides, watching and cheering you. That’s really exciting and that makes this festival quite unique.
What would be your impression of the kayaking scene in India so far?
It’s really great. There are a lot of local kayakers which is quite exciting. I really like the fact that they are trying to train more people in Kerala. Before I came down here, I was kayaking in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh. It’s all quite different.
Logistics is incredibly easy in India. That’s one of the best things, especially in Uttarakhand. You just chuck your boats on a local bus and go up to the river. I’ve also kayaked in Meghalaya and I’m doing a bit of a tour.
Did you have any trouble bringing your equipment into the country?
No, but it is getting harder to fly with kayaks. The airlines have changed their policies so you can no longer fly kayaks with them. Much as I managed to get mine in with no problems, I think other people are going to struggle which is a bit of a shame.
But a lot of people are coming out here and selling boats so I think the equipment allowance in India is getting better; there are more kayaks available which is good.
What kayak do you own?
I’ve got the Pyranha 9R as my main boat. In California, I paddled the new Pyranha boat which is called the Machno. It’s super fun and a bit more forgiving than the 9R, so I may well end up using that for harder rivers and expeditions but the 9R is best for races.
Which spots in the Indian sub-continent would you pick for excellent ‘undiscovered’ kayaking?
In terms of unexplored areas of India, I think anywhere with mountains is likely to have unexplored rivers. Areas such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Ladakh have been explored more already, but the more southern states and the north-eastern states definitely have a lot of rivers to explore!
Kerala certainly is still very new for kayaking and there’s a lot more to do. Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh have been explored a bit but particularly around the monsoon, there will be more to do and the other north-eastern states must have potential as well.

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays say they are conducting an internal investigation after six players in the team’s minor-league system were suspended for using performance-enhancing substances over the past week.
Major League Baseball suspended five minor-league players on Tuesday, including three in Toronto’s system, for violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. That announcement came four days after three Blue Jays were caught up in another round of MLB suspensions.
“This situation is very disappointing and disturbing to the organization; disappointing that the players made these choices, but more so disturbing that some failure of our environment allowed this to happen,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said in a statement Thursday. “It is our responsibility to create an environment and culture where our players know that PED use is not condoned, and to give them resources and education to ensure that they do not make these decisions.
Right-handed pitcher Juan Jimenez, left-handed pitcher Naswell Paulino, shortstop Hugo Cardona, infielder Yhon Perez and catcher Leonicio Ventura — all of the rookie-level Dominican Summer League Blue Jays — each received a 72-game suspension without pay.
Right-handed pitcher Jol Concepcion of the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Blue Jays was handed a 60-game suspension. All six tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug boldenone.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, widely accused of moving too slowly to prevent Asian carp and other exotic species from invading the Great Lakes, will release a short list of possible solutions next year to quicken the process, officials said Tuesday.
Previously, the corps had insisted it would need until late 2015 to recommend a permanent fix — a timetable challenged by five states in a federal lawsuit and legislation proposed in Congress. Critics say faster action is needed as huge, aggressive carp that have infested the Mississippi River and many of its tributaries bear down on the lakes, where they would gobble up food needed by native species and further disrupt ailing ecosystems.
Obama administration officials told The Associated Press ahead of an announcement scheduled for Tuesday that the corps will pick up the pace under a revised strategy in which it no longer will devise a single preferred method. Instead, the agency will put forward several options and leave it to Congress and the public to decide which they prefer.
“This new step will result in a more focused path forward that could mean faster implementation of a permanent solution for protecting our Great Lakes from Asian carp,” said John Goss, the Asian Carp program director for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Officials acknowledged the new approach won’t guarantee that a final solution will be carried out any sooner. When that happens will depend on Congress, which must choose a plan and pay for it. But lawmakers and their constituents will get an earlier start on debating the alternatives, said Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army for civil works.
The change also means the Army Corps won’t spend the next several years crafting a single plan that Congress might reject. Instead, the corps will wait until Congress makes a selection to do more detailed feasibility and design work.
The corps will list “a select few” options but hasn’t decided how many, said an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly. The study also will estimate costs and describe steps needed to offset any environmental damage they would cause.
A lawsuit filed by Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania demands completion of the corps study earlier than 2015. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Rep. Dave Camp, both of Michigan, have introduced legislation ordering the corps to finish within 18 months of the bill’s enactment. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a provision last week that would set a deadline of July 2014.
More than 185 aquatic species have invaded the Great Lakes over the past century, causing extensive economic and environmental damage. Blood-sucking sea lamprey decimated lake trout and other popular sport fish. Zebra and quagga mussels have clogged water intake pipes, spread disease and unraveled food webs.
Many scientists, environmentalists and sport angling groups fear silver and bighead carp — both Asian varieties that escaped from southern fish farms and sewage lagoons decades ago — would deal another huge blow to the lakes and their billion-dollar fishing and tourism industries.
But the region is divided over how to stop the carp, particularly in a network of Chicago-area rivers and canals that form a direct link between the Lake Michigan and Mississippi watersheds. Michigan officials unsuccessfully asked the U.S. Supreme court to order closure of shipping locks in the waterways, a move opposed by Chicago business interests that rely on waterborne cargo shipping.
The states’ lawsuit seeks a court order to permanently separate the two drainage basins. In a January report, the Great Lakes Commission and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative outlined several ways to sever the connection by placing barriers at key points to cut off the inter-basin water flow. Estimated costs ranged from $3.2 billion to $9.5 billion, and the report said it could take until 2029 to complete.
The Obama administration has spent more than $150 million on a short-term Great Lakes protection strategy that includes tracking and removing Asian carp in the Chicago waterways and reinforcing an electric barrier meant to halt fish migration. Critics say the barrier is inadequate because carp DNA has been detected beyond it, although federal officials say it’s performing well. The barrier lost power for 13 minutes last week for unknown reasons.
The Army Corps’ list of alternatives for a permanent fix will deal with the Chicago waterways and 18 other locations across the region that an earlier study identified as offering possible pathways between the Great Lakes and Mississippi basins.
“The Army Corps of Engineers understands and appreciates the importance of continuing with (the study) and preventing aquatic invasive species from reaching the Great Lakes,” Darcy said.

The Courier is Ford’s attempt at cracking the microvan market. Coming in at just over four metres in length, it is slightly longer than the Fiesta van but offers an increased payload in comparison. Sporting either a 1.5 or 1.6-litre engine, the Courier offers plenty of power given its neat package, which is the perfect size for transporting mid-sized loads in an urban environment. As such, the Courier proved to be reasonably popular, and due to its endless functionality, it holds a healthy resale potential. The popularity in the second-hand market means parts are not hard to find.
Popular part requests over the last 90 days have been for replacement electric steering pumps, subframe (rear), airbag (driver side), bulkhead (without glass) and door (rear driver side). Quotes have ranged from £100.00 for a Courier 50 Td SWB rear axle beam to £225.00 for a Courier airbag (driver side). There are currently 1 Ford COURIERs left on the road in the UK, meaning there are plenty of spares available. The most requested parts for Ford Couriers in 2018 were electric steering pumps, door card / interior panel / trim (front driver side), rear van door (driver side), door (rear driver side) and headlight / headlamp (passenger side).

You can ask questions about the lessons in the guitar courses of the academy, or just about any guitar or music related question you may have.
This live video chat is a great way for me to answer your questions in real-time. Unlike the live events I do on YouTube where I can get over 100 questions per minute, these chats with only GL365 Academy members, will be a lot less crowded and low-key. That will enable me to get to your question.

EJ Healers, Inc is simply a tool to connect with people, share our gifts and talents, and market awareness and hope.
EJ Healers, Inc in the business of hope and its purpose is to promote effortless joy, and to provide a safe, professional, friendly environment where individuals can find direction and resources to improve their lives; facilitated through establishment of therapeutic relationships; and involves the ventilation, validation and education process.
It is holistic in that it factors and integrates the mind, body, spirit connection.
It also is based on the individual “right to” and “responsibility for” their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Just as a lighthouse never steers the ship through the harbor, neither will we ever take responsibility for another person’s journey. We only will offer light to make the passage easier and safer.
All things are as they are supposed to be. Nothing is as it seems to be. It is better.
Together All Things are Possible.
Simple is good. Quiet speaks loudly. Less can be more. There is good in everyone. There is a gift in all trauma. Gratefulness is a way of life. Nature can teach us most of what we need to know. Each person is responsible for their own path. We are responsible to be a light, as a beacon in the harbor but we are not responsible for steering the ship through the storm. There is ALWAYS hope. Having fun is a requirement to succeed. Being real and true to oneself is contagious. If you can’t find your own tribe, create one. Most people make good decisions once they are aware. Being is more important that doing. One person can make a difference. There is always more than two choices. Health should be affordable. Spirituality and religion are not the same. There is a higher power, and it is called love. There is no bad and evil only light and dark. There is mind body spirit connection, and all three need equal attention. Healing is possible. Living and breathing in the present moment is the key to the rest. And we believe that it is possible to not only to get through any storm but to find the gift not only on the other side of the storm, but in the storm itself. And we believe in the power and purpose of the collective energy of a group or a tribe.
We provide education and information.
We try to collaborate with other health care professionals (Eastern and Western, traditional and complimentary).
We encourage and celebrate recovery, health, and individual responsibility.
We try to lead by example.
I will listen to and care for and nourish my body with good food, water, good movement, good rest and I will dance.
I will express gratefulness, daily, I will laugh and provide joy to my 6 senses. I will create something daily.
I will actively try to make a difference in someone’s life daily.
I will forgive and love without judgment. I will let love guide my thoughts and my actions.
I will be authentic and real, and be as honest as I am allowed to be, with love and kindness.
I will get quiet and listen daily, and remember that I have ALL the answers inside of me.
I will embrace the paradoxes of life and seek balance.
I will live in the present but change the world.
I will remember that I am never alone and that all things are as they are suppose to be; nothing is as it seems to be. It is better; And Together All Things are Possible.

So, today was dad’s first day in Vietnam. But thank goodness he made it to Hanoi safe and sound. This morning we decided to do a walking tour around the old quarter in Hanoi. (Without the crowds, Sumner was our guide.) We started at Yen Thai. ( That is where our hotel is, 3 Yen Thai.) and ended at the Ngoc Son Temple. (In the middle of a BIG lake. During the tour around Hanoi, We stopped for lunch at a place called Quan An Ngon. It is a place featuring various traditional Vietnamese food. Me and mom ordered some Vegetarian Dumplings, but they turned out to be basically hot steaming rolls. They were good though. Dad ordered Shrimp with Lemongrass and Chilies. He was I guess expecting the nice small shrimp that we Westerners eat. But instead, they were HUMUNGOUSLY large shrimp, and they still had their skin,and feet, and so forth. After lunch we went to the lake. WE were going to have a cyclo ride. (That is were you go in basically a cart where the oldish men drive you by peddling their bicycles.) But we never got to it. We are resting now in our hotel room, waiting for the time that we will get dinner. (Well at least me.) Sumner and I were going to really go right around the corner to go pick up the stamps that we had ordered. But dad will not let us. Now since dad is here, we have to be more cautious. I just finished packing for the 2 day boat trip at Halong Bay. I am excited because we get to go kayaking. For the first time!!!
We just finished a scrumptiously yummy dinner. We all did not have anything special, so I don’t need to tell you what we had for dinner. Dad made it through the day without taking a nap.
SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR AFTER WHILE CROCODILE!!!
OK well are you blinded by the color yet? Well that’s just to bad becaquse if you did get blinded by the letters you can’t read my post.
Well, toaday was dad’s first day in Vietnam. We went down to have breakfast and the staff greted mom, Hannah, and me in Vietnamese but greted dad by saying “Hello.” I guess he should have done the language class with us! We had to explain the fact that when you order a pancake with bacon and egg you may get the pancake on one plate and the egg on another and the bacon on yet another! Oh well, you get you food even if it takes ten plates to do it! Well after breakfast we went back upstairs to figure out what to do for the day. We had been wanting to do a walking tour of Hanoi guided by one of mom’s books. So we dicided that it would be a good idea to do it with dad so he could get a taste of the Hanoi old quarter. The tour took you to parts of the old quarter that we had never gone to before the tour with dad. It up furter towards the nothern extents of the old quarter that we had gone to. At various different streets and buildings the guide book had a paragraph or two about the sight. We went to some places that we would have never gone to without the book. One of these ocorances was going to a Chinese communal house tucked away in a little alley. It was converted into a pagoda sometime in the past (I don’t remember exatctly when). Another time that it was nice to have the book to guide us, was when we went on a street that the main thing that they sold was bamboo things. They pointed out the big bamboo pipes that, when the smoker breathes out, you can die from the smoke! (OK I exagerated, but it still is allot of smoke!) It also pointed out some bamboo poles that were two stories tall! Well at about the furthest place from the hotel on the tour Hannah said that she had to go to the bathroom. So, we didn’t finish the tour and we rushed back to the hotel to let Hannah use the bathroom. After Hannah’s emergency we tried to decided to go have lunch. We were debating where to go because before dad came we had eaten so much good food! The restraunts that we decided were the best ones to take dad to were: the skewer lady (the street stall that we went to with Mrs. Joy). Quon An Ngon one of the few restraunts that were repeatedly recomended but we hadn’t gone to. Another one of the choices was that bun cha place that we went to with Tan our first week in Vietnam. We rulled out the skewer lady because we thought that she only served dinner and then sold hats durring the day. Then we rulled out the bun cha place because dad didn’t really want to do the street food his first day. So by default we went to Quon An Ngon. It was a ways away but it was a chance to sight see. When we got there it was packed to the brim with people. Vietnamese and westeners were eating there. The place was composed of a huge courtyard and a big building maybe two stories tall. All around the courtyard were “street stalls” that made a sertain Vietnamese/Hanoi specialty. All of the middle was filled with long tables which could seat many different groups of people. We were directed to sit down at a long table and given menus. The way it was done was that you ordered off the menu and then the waiter went to the street stall that sold that specialty and got the food. Then the waiter would bring the food for you at the table. Though noisy it was a really neat environment to eat in. There were big trees overhanging the eating area witch made the atmosphere nice. The fact that the food was made like street food was really neat. After lunch we walked back to the hotel. We were going to do a cicilo ride but dad deceded not to because he was tired and was worried that he wouldn’t enjoy it to it’s fullest extent. Then we decided to go get the stamps we ordered. Hannah and I were going to go alone but dad was worried that something might happen to us. It was rather silly because, as mom pointed out, six year olds run around in the streets. Nevertheless, we didn’t go get the stamps until mom was free to. After getting the stamps we hung out at the hotel for a while. Dad hadn’t ever seen the hotel mom and I stayed in when she came to get me so we decided to go do that and then get dinner. We went downstairs and asked the manager for some recomendations on where to go eat. The recomended Quon An Ngon, we said that we ate there for lunch so he recomended KOTO. We had gone there also. He was supprised and mom said “Remember, we’ve been here a long time.” he recomended some restraunts that were in the directionn of the Caludia (that’s were mom and I stayed) so we decided to go to the Claudia and then do something over in that direction for dinner. We went over to the Claudia (it’s now a dress shop) and hoped that Mrs. Thuy would be there. We went in and asked if she was there but unfourtunantly she wasn’t but wasn’t. The lady that was there called Mrs. Thuy and then gave the phone to mom. The had a short conversation in which Mrs. Thuy said that she was sad that she couldn’t meet dad but was glad that we had gotten to see her when we did. After that we took a couple of photos and then tried to figgure out where to go for dinner. We ended up not going to one of the recomended restraunts but to one that mom and I had gone to when she came to get me. It was called Mama Rosa’s. It was and Italian restraunt and the food was pretty good. We took a couple of photos and then went back to the hotel and went to bed.

Saudi Arabia leads the Opec oil cartel, while Russian Federation is the biggest oil producer outside the group.
Fibonacci projections at $82.84 (200% of the upleg from $77.36) and $83.89 (Fibo 238.2%) mark next targets, however, bulls may accelerate further in unobstructed positive environment.
Recently, crude oil prices have benefited from unnamed Saudi Arabia sources implying that the producer would not increase production, being comfortable with prices above $80/barrel.
Interested in Oil technicals? However, the Saudis face another challenge which is to appease President Donald Trump while keeping the Kingdom’s vision together of a major alliance between crude oil producers.
“The market’s still being driven by concerns about Iranian and Venezuelan supply”, said Gene McGillian, director of market research at Tradition Energy in Stamford.
The Trump administration has told countries like China, India and Turkey to cut all imports of Iranian oil by November 4 when the USA re-imposes sanctions against Tehran.
The US President said in a tweet last week that Opec “must get prices down now!” by raising global output.
American tight oil production will rise to 16 MMbpd by the late 2020s, the report said, making up nearly 25% of total non-OPEC supply by then.
“Balances are precarious and the lack of spare capacity could see crude pricing well above US$90 or even US$100, should all of the potential risk in the market materialize”, analysts including Ed Morse said in the note. “My information is that the markets are adequately supplied”.
Such prices made oil companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. the world’s most valuable firms and spurred investment in risky billion-dollar oil projects.
Oil prices rose on Monday as USA markets tightened just weeks ahead of Washington’s plan to impose new sanctions against Iran.
According to analysts from Energy Aspects, the meeting on Sunday could lead to an increase in production, “but the market starts to ask where could well come in these barrels”.
The lack of OPEC’s immediate action could mean higher prices.
He further said all producers – OPEC and non-OPEC – wanted to keep the price of oil at around $80 per barrel.
“Since June, Saudi Arabia has met the demand for every barrel that has been requested”, its oil minister, Khalid al-Falih, said. Gasoline prices in Japan are at their highest level in 3 years and 9 months.
“We view Brent’s rally above $80 per barrel as fundamentally justified”, said Fitch Solutions in a note.

We're called Your World because we believe in discovery. No, we don't mean putting men on Mars (we'll leave that to NASA, thanks), we're talking about discovering a life that brings out the best version of you. For most people, a great career can do just that!
But hold on, what if your perfect career is thousands of miles across the sea, in a completely different country?
Hey, it happens! That's why we offer a terrific number of opportunities for working overseas. Whether you’re looking for a permanent move, temporary career abroad or simply a working holiday, we have a team of experts on hand to help.
Our overseas programme has been designed to support and assist you throughout one of life's biggest career challenges - moving to a new country for work. It's safe to say that the stress of moving can often put people off of making the transition but, thankfully, we've created a simple, smooth process that will see you stress-free and excited for your new adventure!
Ever dreamt of drinking tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace? Sorry, that's one dream you might need to hang up for a while, she's a busy woman, after all. However, what we can help you with is finding healthcare jobs in the UK. Our specialist International Recruitment Team in London has already helped hundreds of people across the seas to start the next chapter in their healthcare career.
Did you know the NHS was ranked the World's number one healthcare system? By moving to the UK with Your World Healthcare, you can be part of this historic organisation and reap the outstanding benefits that come with it, including great pay, loads of exciting discounts and a first-rate pension scheme.
With a terrific support network at hand, you can say goodbye to stressful, lengthy job hunts, and wishing you could find career success overseas. We'll help you make it happen!
"Why work for the NHS?"
The UK's National Health Service is one of the oldest universal healthcare systems in the world! Established in 1948, the NHS provides free healthcare at the point of use to all UK citizens (excluding some services, like dental and prescriptions). It's also the World's fifth-largest employer, with roughly 1.5 million people working for the service. With a terrific pension scheme, outstanding working settings and a reputation for excellence, it's no wonder the NHS was ranked the number one healthcare service in the world!
"I heard the NHS is struggling with funding. Does that make this a bad time to join?"
On the contrary, there couldn't be a better time to join the ranks with some of the most highly qualified, driven and passionate healthcare professionals in the world. Staffing shortages around the World mean that the NHS is always looking for exceptional nurses, doctors, Allied Health Professionals and Health Science Staff to fill vacancies across multiple hospitals and NHS settings around the UK.
As the NHS is predominantly publicly funded, public demand for access to healthcare can create financial pressure on the service. However, you won't find a community of healthcare professionals more determined to make a difference, despite any difficulties that come their way, and the British public is always extremely grateful and supportive. Our NHS staff definitely adopt the quintessentially British attitude of 'keep calm and carry on'.
"How long will it take me to move to the UK from Australia?"
Your personal circumstances, career requirements and healthcare status could all have an impact on how long your journey from Australia to the UK takes. The great thing about making the move is that there really is no 'one experience fits all' approach. If you're seriously thinking about starting a career overseas, why not submit your interest to our International Team, who can advise you on all aspects of the process?
We're really rooting for you. A career that fills you with passion and makes the world a better place is worth chasing, wherever that may be.
If you're excited about the prospect of making a new life in the UK or the Republic of Ireland, contact our team and find out where your love for healthcare could take you!

Tags: new, content, objectives, crusaders, idols, event, princess, pool.
Now that the Holidays have come and gone, the Princess has decided it's time to stave off the post-Christmas blues with a vacation. Packing up her pointy hat, she's booked herself on holiday to warmer climes to get away from the winter weather.
Starting today and running through to January 19th at Noon PST, our new event Princess' Pool Party will kick off the New Year with an international 'vacay'.
Two new event Crusaders are available to unlock. Carrying on the vacation theme, you can recruit Pam the Pilot and the exotic Queen Siri to join your Crusaders.
As ever, recruiting them isn't going to be easy. Pam will turn on the 'seatbelt' warning, depressing the DPS abilities of Crusaders around her in the 'cabin' of the new plane formation reducing their abilities by 90%.
What's more, if you don't protect Pam from the deluge of monsters and Pam is killed, your formation is wiped knocking you back to the previous area.
Queen Siri asserts her matriarchy on the Crusaders, keeping the males in the formation in check by debuffing them all by 25% for the duration of the flight to area 100.
Once you can complete the first two objectives and recruit the new Crusaders to your cause, you can replace Jim the Lumberjack and King Reginald IV. Among Pilot Pam's upgrades, you'll find Focused Teamwork when she's level 50, which buffs herself and one other Crusader by 100%. Queen Siri brings the ability to increase all female Crusaders power by 100%.
There are three additional objectives too. Wing-clipped requires you to get to level 150 without the 'wings' and 'tail' of the airplane formation. Open-bar sees the Crusaders get access to the drink trolley, getting drunk and randomly passing out, canceling out their DPS contribution to the formation and their buffs. Three's A Crowd is just a bit of fun where we limit you to only having three Crusaders in your formation at any one time.
MrBayEasy Look out for a special guest appearance by one of our favourite YouTube celebrities, MrBayEasy, who has been producing a Let's Play series for Crusaders for some time now. Check out his channel, give his Crusaders videos the 'thumbs up' and subscribe today.
And with that, pack your beach clothes, suntan lotion and a great big bushwhacking stick and prepare for the holiday of a lifetime. Bon voyage.

A US force, which included military observers from Upper Canada, raided Grindstone Island on July 11, 1839, to arrest Johnston. Bill escaped capture because his observant daughter Kate Johnston warned him the soldiers were coming.
Following his final escape, Johnston strove to leave his pirate and fugitive past behind. He and Kate gathered names of prominent men on a petition for a pardon. Bill joined the Masons and used his new connections to advantage.
Johnston presented a petition for pardon to the outgoing president, Martin Van Buren, on March 2, 1841. Van Buren believed that Johnston and the Patriot War contributed to his defeat. He rejected Bill's plea and ordered his aide to have Johnston arrested. Ten days later, William Henry Harrison took office. Johnston may have asked him for a pardon--since they were both veterans of the War of 1812. Harrison granted no pardons in his brief presidency.

I don’t believe in ghosts. But that only because I’ve never seen one. If I sensed one was near me, I’d be out the door before you can say Scooby Doo! Which is why I was disturbed to read on Bayraider of the existence of the Gauss Master ghost detector – currently up for auction on eBay.
It measures ghoulish EMFs, is apparently widely by professional ghost-hunters (now there’s a job that’ll break the ice at parties) and even comes with instructions for "conducting paranormal investigations", just like they do in Most Haunted.
Interested? Head over to Bayraider now.
