The Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) is supporting a proposal to make refrigeration and air conditioning a compulsory trade in Newfoundland and Labrador.
HRAI president and CEO Sandy MacLeod wrote a letter supporting the proposal by the Newfoundland and Labrador HVACR Trades Association to Sandra Bishop, Nfld. director of advanced education, skills and labour.
Most provinces have made the trade compulsory, citing public safety, consumer protection and the promotion of certification and professional standards within the trade.

Welcome. You can improve or cure many of the world’s 5,000 diseases yourself.
The body is a natural organism, and therefore the most powerful treatments you can give it are natural. So its vitamins, nutrients and supplements that make the biggest difference. In fact without vitamins, you die in just two months. Hippocrates (Kos, Greece, 460 BC) said “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” He was exactly right.
The average Western doctor gets less than a day on vitamins, nutrients and supplements in a seven year training. And the medical profession rarely reads scientific reasearch papers – which is why science is often 20 years ahead of doctors.
Many diseases are successfully treated easily. For example, if you have aches and pains, try drinking 3 pints of pure water a day. A heart attack may be stopped with chilli on the tongue, and it and dementia may be partially treated with magnesium, which the body needs for hundreds of its chemical reactions.
Every person is different, so what works for one may not work at all for another.
Finding the reasons why a treatment doesn’t work can be difficult – for example, in Lyme disease, AIDS and some cancers, the viruses conceal themselves with biofilms, so they cannot be attacked. Biofilm busters include the enzyme protease, papaya, pineapple, and apple cider vinegar.
See if your disease is listed on the left, and if it is, you may wish to try some of the remedies. Generally you need very high doses of vitamins to get the desired effect. Treatments for different diseases often tend to be similar.
These are the methods of a group of naturopaths, osteopaths, biomedical scientists, and doctors who have seen the light, with well over a hundred years of experience between us.
Yes!!! Keep the information coming. We all need to come together like a village to save our loved ones and ourselves. I have been treating Autism (son) and Dementia (mother) naturally for many years. It’s complicated though and we need everyone to help.

This scenario is currently playing out on the UNESCO-listed Rennell Island, in the Solomon Islands.
Until last week, a single-hulled bulk carrier, the Solomon Trader, owned by King Trader of Hong Kong, was leaking heavy fuel oil after it went aground on a reef. The leak has now been staunched, and some of the oil offloaded, but around 100 tonnes of heavy fuel oil has spread along the shoreline. The Solomon Islands, made up of six big islands and 900 smaller ones, has limited ability to contain such an oil spill – the impacts from which will be felt for years.
Built 16 years before the current requirements for ships’ fuel tanks to be protected took effect, the Solomon Trader was at Rennell Island to collect bauxite from a mine when Cyclone Oma struck, pushing the ship onto a coral reef. That was on February 5, more than a month ago. Yet in what most people would regard as the relatively temperate and accessible waters of the Pacific, salvage of the ship has not yet been possible. According to a report in the Guardian, a single tug has been on hand – though more vessels have been arriving to pump oil off the ship.
A leak of 100 tonnes of heavy fuel oil may not seem like much – but it is devastating for local communities on Rennell Island. Fishing, the main source of food for locals, has reportedly been banned. People are now dependent on food being sent from the capital Honiara, 240 km away. Even local freshwater springs close to the sea have been contaminated. People have been reported to have burns from having heavy fuel oil stuck to their bodies while trying to attempt cleanups, while the smell is pervasive. The marine protected area (MPA), at Lavangu Bay, has been “completely destroyed”, according to reports.
“The long term impact on the MPA, the shore line within the 400 meters from the wreck is on advisory from public intervention and national ships operating within the area would keep distance from the site. The people living inner coastal have been advised to relocate to a nearby inland village, to avoid from the oil fumes smell and toxics from the heavy oil. It will take a month for shore cleaning but a long term of the impact will definitely take at least year for rehabilitation, of fish and marine species to return to normal in the area”, Brian Aonima, of SIMSA (Solomon Islands Maritime Authority), told us, adding: “The operations for oil spill containment is going well, according to the Salvos plan. So far, about 200 cu m of oil has been removed from the wreck. However, the vessel’s hold 4 is reported leaking, which indicates that the wreck is still deteriorating.
Offloading may take another week, and expected completion of the vessel and shore clean up could take up to a month, some of which may be concurrent with the vessel removal preparation to afloat the vessel.
Cleaning up oil spills is difficult enough in easy to reach places. Ships travel all over the world, all the time, passing through remote areas that most us have little or no conception of. And while these ships may not be transporting polluting fossil fuel cargoes, what they are carrying in their own tanks as fuel is more than enough to wreak havoc on people and places.
The Solomon Islands cleanup operation has been already been estimated as costing $50m. That’s $500,000 per tonne of the oil that reportedly spilled so far.
Meanwhile in European waters, as we were drafting this article, another disaster is unfolding. A ro-ro container vessel, the MV Grande America, owned by Italian Grimaldi Lines caught fire and sank in the Bay of Biscay, with 2,200 tonnes of heavy fuel oil on board, and 2,000 cars. By March 12, an oil sheen 10km long and 1km wide appeared 200 km off the west coast of France, but it wasn’t expect to wash ashore until the end of March. In the meantime, a 4-5 metre swell is hindering anti-pollution operations at sea.
Already banned in Antarctic waters, if HFO is spilled in cold polar waters, it breaks down slowly, proving almost impossible to clean up. An HFO spill would have long-term devastating effects on Arctic indigenous communities, livelihoods and the marine ecosystems they depend upon. It isn’t only the impact of a heavy fuel spill that is a concern, HFO is also a greater source of harmful emissions of air pollutants, such as sulphur oxide, and particulate matter, including black carbon, than alternative fuels such as distillate fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG). When emitted and deposited on Arctic snow or ice, the climate warming effect of black carbon is up to five times more than when emitted at lower latitudes, such as in the tropics.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with the Solomon Islanders affected by this terrible heavy fuel oil spill, and the Clean Arctic Alliance hopes that everything possible is done to minimise the impact of the spill, clean up the environment and to protect the resources of the islanders and the wildlife. This small spill of heavy fuel oil has had a devastating impact on the remote reefs and resources of the Solomon Islands, and demonstrates the limitations of response operations to cope with spills of this nature in remote locations. For this reason, the Clean Arctic Alliance is urging all Arctic states to throw their weight behind the calls for a ban on the use and carriage of HFO as a fuel by Arctic shipping.

Marketing 101: Warning: Are You Accidentally Shattering Your Brand Continuity?
At its core, brand continuity is the idea that all communication channels between your brand and your customers (live chat, email, phone calls, etc.) should all look and feel like they're coming from the same place. It's the idea that you should strive to give your customers an experience that is as consistent as possible, regardless of how they choose to make contact with you. Successful brand continuity requires you to strike a delicate balance, and if you're not careful, there are a few ways that you can accidentally shatter all that you've worked so hard to build even before you realize you have a problem.
One of the more subtle ways to build and maintain brand continuity is also one of the most important, mainly because it can be the easiest to get wrong. You have to make sure that all of your branding from the version of your company logo to things as seemingly insignificant as the font you use are as consistent as possible, regardless of which element of your online and offline presence you're using. If a version of your company logo is present on your website's "Help Desk" page, it should be the same version of the logo sent out in your latest email or print marketing materials. Don't use professional-looking fonts on your website if you're going to be using Comic Sans MS on your print materials.
You may initially think that this is incredibly easy to miss and in many respects, you're right. Customers aren't necessarily paying attention to every last visual element on a page versus a flyer versus a billboard. But, think about it this way: the ones that do notice may be put-off or at least find it odd, which is a feeling you do not want to invoke. Those that don't notice will still benefit from your strict brand continuity, even if subconsciously.
Another way that you can accidentally shatter brand continuity has to do with getting everyone on the same page regarding how your business works. If your website is very clear about one particular policy but your customer service team isn't, you're immediately confusing customers every time they pick up the phone. This confusion is especially evident regarding promotions. If an email goes out offering a new sale, you'd better make sure that anyone who answers the phones for your business knows about it and knows what it entails. Otherwise, your customers may get a disappointing experience when it feels like the left hand is unaware of what the right hand is doing, so to speak. It gives the impression that the different parts of your business are operating independently of one another, which is something you don't want to communicate to prospective buyers.
These are just a couple of ways that you can accidentally harm your brand continuity. Remember, you can never be 100% sure how someone is going to make contact with your business, especially for the first time. So, make sure however they encounter you, it's equally easy, enjoyable, and helpful.

In an age of oversaturation of zombie-related media, and with low-budget horror now the genre’s most recognisable form, it’s easy to underestimate how much of an impact George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead must have had in 1968. Using an array of cheap but raw film techniques, Romero simultaneously redefined both the zombie and the horror film yet also tapped into something else quintessential to large amounts of US horror in particular; the feeling of the horrific that sits comfortably alongside the ordinary worlds of American life.
The film follows a core group of characters who end up barricaded within a lone house in the backwaters of Pennsylvania. Barbara (Judith O’Dea) and her brother, Johnny (Russell Streiner), are visiting the grave of their father when they are inexplicably attacked by a strange, wandering man in the graveyard. Johnny is left fighting off the man whilst Barbara runs and seeks refuge in a nearby house. The light fades and Barbara becomes trapped as the stumbling man continues to amble about outside.
Soon Ben (Duane Jones) enters the house with further hungry corpses following in close pursuit. He barricades the doors and windows of the rooms, only to find two couples hidden in the basement. As a group, they now consider their options, debating what to do about the increasing number of wandering dead outside trying to get in to eat them; each plan more disastrous than the last until all hope is eventually lost.
Before Romero, zombies had a very different hue in cinema. In Victor Halperin’s White Zombie from 1932 and John Gilling’s The Plague of the Zombies from 1966, the undead had a orientalist voodoo-edge; summoned back to life by black magic and, even more surreally, used as a cheap labour force (in these instances, as the workers of a Haitian sugar cane mill in the former and in a Cornish tin mine in the latter). Zombies were effectively the deliberate product of man, not unlike Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ or the creatures of HG Wells’ ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’, published in 1818 and 1896 respectively.
Romero’s accidental rebirth of the dead is refreshing in its almost disaster film qualities, the corpses rising apparently due to the radiation leak from a satellite crash-landed from space. Technology and the increasing fear of Cold War infused paraphernalia – satellites, radiation, group paranoia – is just as much a menace in the film as the flesh-desirous zombies.
The sheer look of Night of the Living Dead alone must have felt exhilarating in the context of the largely gothic infused visuals and narratives of this period. The ordinariness of the violence is still alarming, every bludgeon carrying a simple impact that mostly rejected stylised violence, what critic Pauline Kael called the film’s “banal seriousness”. Even in the more stylised moments Romero manages to retain a tangible sense of raw desperation, far from vampires being staked through the heart or other typical horror demises.
When a little girl attacks and finally kills her loving mother with a garden trowel, the director chooses to intensify the scene with more typically fantastical techniques. The woman’s screams are modulated through an electronic effect, carrying it into strange realms of synthesised sound. Yet it also fits with the film’s general shift in horror style, marked most overtly by its music beginning with normal B-movie stock strings but which is quickly subverted by electronic hums, rumbles and modulation. Romero was one of the first to properly understand that music in horror cinema need not be overtly instrument based; that there was something untapped in the unrecognised character of electronic and experimental sounds.
Alongside the rumbling hums and grain (the film was shot on 35mm but distributed on low quality prints), Romero uses another technique to great effect: the fake news reel. Constant news reports stream in, first detailing the outbreak and explanation for dead to walk again before the authorities try to find a solution. Their banality aids their believability which makes the horror all the more effective, especially the Sheriff’s solution of “beat ’em or burn ’em, they go up pretty easily”; carried out with an almost enjoyable relish by his plaid shirt militia.
The images of these men roaming around the country, toting rifles and burning bodies, is itself a poignant and still chilling image. Some of these news bulletins and reports are so genuine it would be difficult to believe they were fake if not for their context in the film. The possibility of a ‘War of the Worlds’-style panic is not inconceivable if imagining the film being broadcast on television in the same year it was made; a casual viewer flicking through the small handful of channels only to come upon one of these bulletins without the full context of the film, detailing the best way to stop the ambling undead soon to be supposedly scrabbling at their door.
Romero’s film ends with a stunning collection of photographs, or perhaps even freeze-frames. Their effectiveness lies in their believability, with many resembling battered historic images of similar group catastrophes in America’s 20th century social history. With this final move Romero showed that even on a small budget, horror has the ability to get under our skin not through violence, gore or spectacle, but through an overt and perceivable likeness to the real world in all of its unsettling ordinariness.

The movie hasn’t been announced yet, but vintage movie trailers will be shown, and “Trailer Vic’s” will be serving up drinks, there will be Tiki Torch Marshmallow roasting, and Johnny Knox and Hi Test will be performing. As is the custom at the Starlight, bring your own coolers & cookout setup, and decorate your care space — the best decor wins a tiki carving!
Saturday, April 29 is the main celebration at the Atlanta Trader Vic’s. They’ll be bringin out vintage Oceanic Arts decor that was purchased and put in storage in 1976. King Kukulele is the MC, and Haole Kats, Cocktail Preachers and the hula troupe Hula Halau Kapilialoha will be performing. There will be door prizes, and a “temptation potion” giveaway. Mai Tais will be available for only $4.50, and you can make reservations to enjoy a special dinner there that night, too.
The Atlanta Trader Vic’s is my personal favorite Trader Vic’s. It’s located in the bottom level of the Atlanta Hilton, which has rooms available that weekend for only $89/night. Kiliki is most famous for organizing the annual Hukilau event at the Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale, but her regular Tiki Torch Nights in Atlanta are hugely fun and popular. This should be a real winner of a weekend, and the cost is only $10 each night.

In Part I we introduced you to the concept of marketing followed by a number of key questions to help you understand your business and your current target. In this post, we will demonstrate some strategic forms of marketing to promote and sell your product or service.
A marketing strategy is a business’s goal to increase profit through market research and the right product mix to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
To learn more about marketing strategies check out our ‘Part I: What is a Marketing Strategy’.
This is where you define the locations where you distribute your product or service. There are a variety of channels to choose from to distribute your product or service. You can have an online store via Shopify, set up an Ebay store, or make your products available on your own website.
Choosing the correct distribution channel where you will appeal to most of your target market can be a challenging decision. You can try and determine how your competitor’s customers are buying from them by performing some market research.
This is where you need to understand how to provide customer support to your target market. A unique customer service can not only give your customers a unique buying experience, it can also be a huge advantage. If you are trying to create a brand voice or culture that helps your business stand out from your competitors, It can also help you define your customer’s wants and needs.
A more personalised approach to customer service can help you retain loyal customers who are likely to pay a premium for your product or service down the track.
<p style="font-weight: italic".An example of an efficient and low-cost method for customer service could involve guaranteeing the delivery of product or service by responding to customer’s emails promptly.
If you are looking at providing a unique customer service experience you should introduce this into your communication strategy, that way all your employees can deliver an efficient and consistent customer experience to your customer or client.
This is where you choose the pricing on your product and service by making a comparison with your competitors.It has become common for startups to disrupt various industries with affordable products or service. Choosing the correct price for your product or service can attract more customers to purchase from you and increase your profit. For example, LawPath provides free company registration .
Another great way to look at it while you decide on the pricing is your expectations in ROI from your marketing budget, as discussed in Part I ‘What is a Marketing Strategy’?.
An example of an efficient and low-cost method for customer service could involve guaranteeing the delivery of product or service by responding to customer’s emails promptly.
This is where you need to understand your target market and what has been similarly delivered to your competitor’s consumers. It can be a strong selling point if you can show what is unique about your product or service by defining its value, features, functions, and quality.
By defining the product strategy you can give your product or service a brand or an impression on how your customer perceives your product or service.
This is an easy way to keep your current customers engaged and attract new customers to your product or service. The data can be a very valuable source in determining and redefining your target market, your products or services. This is another angle to customer service by empowering and acknowledging your customer with potential rewards.
You can easily set up a contest by getting people to produce UGC (User Generated Content), set a time frame for the competition and do not forget to insert terms and condition,it’s also important to think about what product or service you are trying to get your customers or clients to purchase when writing up the competition.
Honing in on an effective marketing strategy is all about trial and error. An effective approach is to take small risks, seek feedback from your customers and make quick changes. Alternatively, you can test out on a small market before expanding to your target market.

Due to popular demand in the Platinum Wealth Forum, today we are going to be analysing Mediclinic PLC.
Looking at the chart this is a very confusing stock to analyse as most indicators are showing a positive bullish outlook on the daily chart, except for the 200 Day Moving Average and the Stochastic RSI which I have added to the chart.
The best solution for trading this stock is to take it day by day keeping the major support and resistance levels in mind.
Currently the price is wrestling with a minor resistance area at 12,884.
A close above this level could see the price heading to the next major resistance level at 13,500 and 14,000 in extension.
The fact that the StochRSI levels are overbought and the price is below the 200 day moving average still makes me weary of a possible pullback to the 11,000 area. The small gap up today is also a indication that we could see a small retracement to close that gap and possibly move further down as previous gaps have shown.
Based on sentiment this is still a popular stock to own but intraday choppiness and market indecision could leave you frustrated. In my opinion I would wait for the 11,000 area before buying or just sit this one out.

We’re up early and ready to hit the road to Mount Ruapehu, the main event and reason we’ve taken this road trip. We’ve managed to sleep through the night without another leg of the bed snapping off or any other injuries, which is nice. Breakfast is a priority so we hit up a cute little café a few streets up from our hostel, and I eat way too much food. The road down to Ruapehu is beautiful, winding along in view of the lake for most of the drive. My ears start to pop as we climb higher up the mountain, and before I know it… there’s snow on the road! Feels like home, but better, because I know I can turn around and go back to the warmth at any time.
I haven’t come to New Zealand with much warm clothing and it’s surprisingly chilly up here. I think people are maybe being a litttttttle dramatic with their chained tires for driving on well paved roads… but you do you. I didn’t realize until I got here that there’s a whole ski hill with a chalet and everything; it is PACKED on this lovely Saturday afternoon. We bundle up to the best of our kiwi-clothed ability and start out on a little walk up the mountain for some views, all throwing snow balls at each other on the way. Ryan is in the midst of an intense Peaky Blinders binge. He’s so into the show that he’s started dressing in Peaky attire at all times. He’s very committed, even when it comes to mountain climbing. It’s become a running joke to come up with various Peaky titles for his activities.
During our short walk, I swear like in the span of 15 minutes, the weather changes from blindingly sunny to extremely windy and grey. Just as we’re getting to the top of a peak. I’m now getting absolutely pelted in the face with hail. The wind feels strong enough to toss me right past this bright orange danger sign, and off the edge of this cliff. I’m stupid enough to pull out my phone for the ol’ Snapchat. Fortunately, I hold on tight enough that I get to keep it.
The boys hike up a little higher to another peak, still within my view, but I’m honestly too scared to try it. I’m currently digging each footstep deep into the snow to keep me grounded, and the last thing I want is to go somewhere higher and potentially windier. Hangin’ on by a thread right now. When I’m not fearing for my life, the view from the mountain is epic, definitely worth it.
All having had our fix of the snow and absolutely freezing, we walk back down this bit of mountain. We consider stopping in the chalet for a nice warm hot chocolate but it’s an actual zoo inside so ultimately decide very much against it.
We’ve come all this way so we can’t reallllly just turn around and go back already, but there isn’t much else to explore this high up the mountain without a pair of skis and like, $300 for a day pass and rental gear. We pull over on our drive back down and decide to go for another little walk. It’s started snowing down here now too and is just as windy as the cliff we’ve just climbed, but we go for a little jaunt again anyway. There’s no cliff to fall off so it’s chill. The landscape is really beautiful, stark and rocky kind of like Iceland. I wonder what it would be like the summer, if it’s covered in greenery or still stoney and bare. Once we’re over a small hill and have lost sight of the car, it looks as if it goes on forever. The snow in this area is way deeper, and I’m sometimes up to my knees which is extremely unfortunate when wearing ankle boots. When we finally get back to the car we’re all soaked from head to toe due to snow balls, hail, and falling over a few times, and have to throw our melting stuff in the trunk. I literally don’t know how Ryan survived with just his peaky blinders cap and no hood.
15 minutes later we’re down the mountain, surrounded by greenery and sunshine. That was enough snow for one day thank you. If fact, I think that’ll do for another 365 days.
New Zealand is so cool guys. For real.
The plan for tonight is to drive back closer towards Auckland and stay in Rotorua, hitting Huka Falls and some hot springs on the way.
Huka Falls is the most epic colour of blue, and I drove out to see it when I was here during the summer, but only saw it from the distant lookout point and never got up close or crossed over it on the bridge so we’re going today.
It’s honestly a little underwhelming from this side because the blue isn’t as electric up close, and you can’t see the actual falls from over here. Still cool to see how much and how fast the water flows down this stream, which isn’t as obvious from the other side. We try to take a squad selfie but none turn out with all 3 of us looking good at the same time, so I use snapchat to do a little photoshopping.
I personally think it turns out wonderfully all things considered. Would you have noticed if I didn’t say anything? I think not. I will be adding: “proficient in Snapchat photo editing” to my CV effective immediately.
Now we’re headed for the hot springs. This is exactly what we deserve after that strenuous hour in the snow. The Polynesian Spa is popular in Rotorua but seems more touristy and costly than the Waikite Thermal Pools outside the town, recommended to us by another one of Chesney’s friends. We splurge and spend the extra money for a $23 private pool, which also grants us access to the other 6 public pools, available for $18 entry. There’s also a creepy $3 “spectators” fee, for people who just want to sit on the deck and watch everyone else swim. Pretty happy to have a private pool where there is none of that nonsense.
We’ve picked the perfect time of day to visit, just as the sun is going down. We get into the private pool first, which is 38 degrees and has taps available for us to adjust hotter or colder. It’s soooo relaxing.
The public pools are less so because they’re full of children, other humans, and “spectators” so if you ever get the chance to go I highly recommend opting for private.
We’re pretty tired and ready to check in to a hostel, but we still have to find one. We roll up to ol’ faithful, The Spa Lodge (even though we just paid to use a spa pool it’s hard to say no to the free one here) which also happens to be the cheapest place in town. I don’t know exactly what’s going on but it looks like a bachelor party or something. There’s a group of dudes blaring music out of their car in the parking lot, and it looks like they’re all staying here for the night. The only dorm bed available is $27/night until I tell the woman at the front desk we saw it for cheaper online. She asks us what we want to pay… and I say $20. I didn’t know haggling was a thing in New Zealand. The bed is also in a room with a “group” which I can only assume are the dudes outside. We can’t do that to poor Ryan so we decide to look elsewhere.
We walk down to the YHA where the private rooms are $80 and the dorms $25. Nah.
Base is across the street so we check it out. Dorms are $20 here which is great, and we ask for the cheapest private room which is apparently a whopping $90. When we talk about leaving the woman at the front desk is like “oh well there’s also another private room for $60 but it doesn’t have an ensuite”. Like, yes lady, thanks. That’s what we meant by cheapest.
We’re tired and over it so we stay.
Ryan makes a good point about the strange haggling situation that like, not only is New Zealand not a haggly place, it’s especially not cool to haggle with locals. Go for it with tourists, make them pay the tourist prices if you must, though I still feel like that’s not very nice…but when you hear the kiwi accent shouldn’t you chill? Maybe I did too much talking.
I’m an old lady and I’m tiiiired but head out for dinner and some drinks anyway. We find a pretty awesome Mexican place and order way way way too much food that we can’t even finish it. We try to hit up The Pig and Whistle, the bar I’ve visited every single time I’ve been down to Rotorua, but there’s a $5 cover charge and we are nawt feelin’ that. There’s also a 40 year old birthday party going on, judging by the giant pink 4 and 0 balloons visible inside. Perhaps not our scene.
We end up at the Lava Bar, attached to our hostel. Base Backpackers is a popular chain in New Zealand and Australia, and has a reputation for being a party hostel. Not tonight. Here everyone is our age but similar to Taupō’s nightlife yesterday, the ratio of human body to m2 of bar space is severely lacking. Cheap dranks thoooooo. We play some more pool and have another responsibly early night.
I love the story telling voice you use in your blog post!! Very engaging :).
Keep the stories coming Naomi! New Zealand sounds amazing.
If you hadn’t of said that guy was your friend I would have sworn I saw him on Peaky Blinders. 🙂 Keep the blogs coming!
While the adventure sounds fantastic, my favourite was the Peaky Blinders theme. Who knew that could be combined with mountain climbing?
Wow! From high winds and snow and hail…to waterfalls and 38 degree pools…what a jam packed day in an amazing country. Love it.

Spanish, as well as English, has quite a variety of idioms, colloquial expressions, set phrases and nuances of speech which you can only learn in your day-to-day conversation with Spanish-speaking natives. It would be a portentous, probably unending, task to set oneself to learning all those expressions by heart.
Just a few examples should suffice to point out that even the "same" expression has a totally different meaning when used, say, at the beginning of the sentence or in the middle of it.
1. Prepararé la cena a ver si viene.
2. A ver si viene, la cena está lista!
On the Internet we find the following "free translations"
1. I will prepare the dinner I hope it comes.
2. I hope it comes, the dinner is ready!
Unfortunately, both translations miss the mark. They do not convey the colloquial hue.
1. I will prepare dinner to see if he comes.
2. We'll see if he comes, dinner is ready.
What happened here? In one case, the colloquial expression "a ver si" was translated as "to see if". In the second case, it was translated as "we'll see if".
This is what we call "context-sensitivity", an exclusive asset of Word Magic Software. More examples to follow next week.

Local communities have the answers.
They can come up with life-saving ideas like home-made emergency stretchers, sourcing and distributing mosquito nets and cleaning water sources.
But too often they are told what to do, treated as the problem or ignored.
Since we were established in 2001 we have stood in awe as local communities have come up with simple answers to some of the biggest global problems facing women, children and young people.
"The women’s health group created an emergency crisis fund to help those in poverty. It pays for drugs, medicines and tests during childbirth."
"It’s a long way from the village to the health facility... we had a lot of stillbirths. We lobbied for a bicycle ambulance to take us there, and were successful."
"The groups really came together to solve the problem of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia. They also pressured local health authorities for staff."
We are different from other organisations. We don't have the answers, we don't lecture and we don't provide short-term fixes. We want communities to lead. We know how to support them behind the scenes to come up with their own answers.
Women and Children First uses the PLA methodology to support communities. PLA is an effective, low-cost, equitable and sustainable methodology that supports communities to come up with local answers to address the problems facing women, children and young people.
Based on the PLA methodology, we have used this tool to support communities to come up with local answers to improve the health and survival of mothers and newborns.
It has been rigorously evaluated, found to reduce maternal mortality by 49% and newborn mortality by 33%, is recommended by the WHO and is ready for scale up.
Based on the PLA methodology, we have used this tool to support communities to come up with local answers that help to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
It has been tested, found to increase adherence to HIV prevention practices in pregnancy, delivery and after birth. It is ready for pressure-testing at scale.
Based on the PLA methodology, we have used this tool to support communities to come up with local answers to support women and girls who want to plan their families.
It has been tested, found to increase knowledge, change attitudes, reduces barriers and improves uptake of modern family-planning methods. It is ready for pressure-testing at scale.
Based on the PLA methodology, we have used this tool to support communities to come up with local answers to improve the health and development of women, children and young girls across the life course.
The tool has been designed and is undergoing preliminary testing in Uganda. It is ready for pilot testing.
We are constantly innovating and exploring new ideas. New problems facing women. children and young people. New tools to support communities to successfully solve them. New ways to ensure the tools can support the most communities possible.
Top of our list at the moment is developing a new tool that can support communities to come up with local answers to the high rates of gender based violence. We are also looking at using radio to reach more communities.
Women and Children First has one office - in London. So, to support communities we form long-term partnerships with local organisations, who are much better placed to deliver projects on the ground successfully, efficiently and appropriately. Working with partners in this way means that after we leave, these partners can continue the work.
Grant management - We build strong, long-term partnerships with leading local NGOs. We manage grants to and build capacity of these NGOs. We are experienced in managing grants from a range of institutional donors and trust and foundations.
Technical assistance - Our services are tailored and delivered to build the capacity of partner organisations in the design, implementation, management and evaluation of the community support tools.
We are experienced in providing technical assistance to partners seeking to successfully support communities to tackle global problems. We offer a high quality package of assistance – short-term or long-term – which can be delivered as a sub-grantee and consultant.
We are small, creative, efficient and highly experienced. We don't have any offices or people in the countries where we work. We collaborate with fantastic local organisations, staffed with people from those countries, because they are best placed to implement these projects on the ground. These collaborations, with both partners bringing their strengths, makes our projects successful, cost-effective and sustainable.
Over the last 17 years we have supported over 5,000 communities, in 13 countries, to save over 6,000 lives - and counting.

Second half goals secure excellent cup win.
Superb Posh seal fourth round berth in the Emirates FA Cup with a 3-1 victory at Championship side Aston Villa.
Peterborough United produced a superb performance at Villa Park to come from behind to deservedly beat Sky Bet Championship side Aston Villa 3-1 in front of over 21,000 supporters make no mistake, this was no fluke – Grant McCann’s men were first class from minute one to the final moments.
After falling behind to a Davis strike inside the opening 10 minutes, it would have been easy for lesser sides to go under, but Posh stuck to their game plan, playing some excellent football with Chris Forrester at the heart of it, and found the back of the net three times in the second period to secure a fourth round berth.
It was a nervy start for Grant McCann’s men with goalkeeper Jonathan Bond called upon to make a fine stop inside the opening 30 seconds, tipping an effort from Andre Green over the crossbar. At the other end, good work from Forrester and Hughes created a half-chance for Lloyd, but leaning back, he skied his effort.
The deadlock was broken on seven minutes as a De Laet cross was allowed to reach the powerful DAVIS who saw his shot on the turn find the back of the net via the body of Bond. Goalkeeper Steer produced a fine stop at the other end as a miss-placed pass was seized upon by Maddison, the winger’s curler pushed clear by the keeper.
O’Hare saw a cheeky back-heel gathered by Bond on the quarter-hour mark. Posh were a whisker away from levelling on 24 minutes as a Hughes cross was met by a towering Shephard header at the back post but it looped onto the crossbar with Danny Lloyd firing the rebound on the volley wide of the far post from 10-yards.
Marriott was denied by the legs of Steer on 36 minutes after he was played into the left-channel by Lloyd after a probing spell from Posh. Da Silva Lopes was cautioned for a foul off the ball on 39 minutes. Lloyd planted a header straight into the arms of goalkeeper Steer from a teasing Shephard first time cross moments later.
On the stroke of half-time, Posh carved out another opportunity for Marriott but again keeper Steer came to Villa’s rescue, denying the front man with his body. Steve Bruce made a change at the break with Henri Lansbury replacing Green. Marriott immediately tested Villa keeper Steer moments after the interval from 20-yards but it was routine for the shot-stopper.
Marriott was a whisker away from making it 1-1 on 51 minutes after a driving run and pass from Forrester, the striker firing inches over the upright. Bond did well to deny Green by his near post and then after a lightening Posh break, Lloyd was inches away from converting a low Maddison cross after he had linked well with Da Silva Lopes.
Lansbury tested Bond from long-range with the keeper doing well to gather at the second attempt. Bond did well to deny Davis and then Hourihane as Villa began to find some spaces. Posh made a change on 70 minutes with Junior Morias replacing the hard-working Da Silva Lopes.
Hourihane was inches away from making it 2-0 from 25-yards, inches past the upright before Bond did brilliantly to deny the onrushing O’Hare. Posh drew themselves level on 75 minutes and it was no more than they deserved, Forrester’s dink to the back post was volleyed across goal by Lloyd and MARRIOTT was there to head home from close-range.
Bjarnason then cracked the underside of the crossbar with a guided volley before Villa made a double change as Jack Grealish and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy were introduced. Lloyd saw a defleted free-kick tipped over by Steer. On 82 minutes, Posh got themselves in front, a wonderful corner from Maddison was met by centre back TAFAZOLLI and his powerful header took a deflection before nestling in the back of the net. Three minutes of added time was indicated by the fourth official as Posh tried to cling on.
Deep into stoppage time, Posh wrapped up the game to secure a 3-1 victory with Maddison squaring for MARRIOTT who took his tally to 23 for the season by finishing well from close-range in front of the 5,000 Posh fans.
Aston Villa: Steer, De Laet, Taylor, Hourihane, Bree, Onomah, Green (sub Lansbury 46min), Bjarnason (sub Hepburn-Murphy 80min), Terry, O’Hare (sub Grealish 80min), Davis. Unused subs: Bunn, Elphick, Elmohamady, , Doyle-Hayes.

March 2016 – Arizona boasts lots of incredibly scenic drives, and one beauty is Routes 89 and 89A which double back on themselves between Page and Lees Ferry in the northeast corner of the state. This is a portion of the Vermillion Cliffs Scenic Byway, an area that is great for RV travel. After our wonderful visit to the Horseshoe Bend overlook in Page, we drove to Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry.
At Marble Canyon, the Navajo Bridge spans the Colorado River. It was built in 1929 and was an important bridge because it made it possible to cross the moody Colorado River without taking the more antiquated cable ferry across at nearby Lees Ferry.
Cars were new in those days, and the ferry system wasn’t great for carrying cars across the river. In 1928 the ferry sank, killing three men, so the bridge, known then as the Grand Canyon Bridge, was a huge improvement.
Today the original bridge is a walking bridge that runs parallel to the newer highway bridge that was opened in 1997.
The old Navajo Bridge (left) is now a footbridge. Highway traffic takes the bridge on the right.
Sheer cliffs plunge down to the Colorado River on either side.
We enjoyed a stroll on the walking bridge. The river is a looooong way down!!
The river is way down there!!
We had loved our stay in the red rock country of Sedona, Arizona, a few weeks earlier, but that little town is just the beginning of the southwest’s explosion of orange and pink color in northern Arizona and southern Utah. Spring was just beginning, and we saw bunches of tiny purple wildflowers here and there.
Wildflowers were just starting to bloom.
The road that winds from Marble Canyon into Lees Ferry is lined with dramatic red rock cliffs, and it is a jaw-dropper of a drive.
The drive into Lees Ferry is gorgeous.
The towering red walls are still eroding, and in one area there is a massive debris field of enormous boulders that have broken away from the cliffs and rolled downhill. From a distance they look like gravel, but up close these boulders are gargantuan.
Boulders strewn like gravel around the cliffs are actually really massive!!
We meandered among them and took a breather on a rock, totally awed by the sheer scale of Nature’s handiwork.
We love red rock country!
The forces of wind and water shaped these rocks, and we saw a jagged tributary leading to the Colorado River where a stream carved a zig-zag pattern through the rocks.
Prior to the Navajo Bridge, Lees Ferry was home to a cable ferry that was originally built by John Lee in 1873. It was the only place travelers could take their horses and wagons and themselves across the tempestuous Colorado River safely.
At the river’s edge there is a boat launch now, and this is a popular put-in spot for river rafters heading down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Two groups of rafters were launching their rafts when we were there. One group was starting a 24 day voyage down the river and the other was starting a 16 day trip. What fun!
Lees Ferry is the start of the Grand Canyon, both geologically and for river rafters too.
John Lee’s homestead is now owned by the National Park Service, and we roamed around a little bit. There is an orchard, and visitors can pick the apples and other fruit for free during the fall harvest. We found an old wagon sitting nearby and chatted a bit with an NPS worker who was tending the trees in the orchard.
The farm house itself is off-limits to visitors, and the National Park Service has an engraved padlock keeping folks out.
The last family to work the farm and live in these buildings left in the 1960’s when the National Park Service bought the property. We wandered out beyond the farmhouse along the dirt road that passes the old farm fields, and we found an old Chevy dually truck sitting out there. As I looked at it, I couldn’t help but think of the day the first owner proudly put the key in the ignition and drove it home. What kind of deal had he struck with the salesman, and what did his wife think of their new wheels?
The last family that lived in the homestead moved out over 50 years ago and left some things behind.
The dirt road that goes by the Lees Ferry Homestead (the homestead is called Lonely Dell Ranch) is the start of the Paria River Trail hike, and we followed the trail for a mile or so along the river.
From Lonely Dell Ranch, we walked along the Paria River towards Paria Canyon.
The red rock cliffs glowed a deep orange in the afternoon sun, and the cottonwood trees glowed green. What a spot!
Who knew this gorgeous canyon was back here behind Lonely Dell Ranch?!
There was a corral and cattle chute in a more distant farm field. I think farming and ranching would be a pretty enjoyable activity in a setting like this!!
We found a corral and cattle chute out beyond the farm fields.
We walked back towards the farmhouse and caught some trees shimmering in the sun.
The Paria River trail at Lees Ferry is actually the end of the 40+ mile Paria Canyon trail that starts at the White House Trailhead and goes through Buckskin Gulch and the Wire Pass Slot Canyon. As we were walking, we met two hikers that were wrapping up a three day hike through Paria Canyon. They were tired and had sore feet, but they said it had been a glorious hike. That multi-day hike is said to be one of Arizona’s best.
We met a pair of hikers doing the last mile of their 3 day Paria Canyon hike. Wow!
We didn’t stay long at Lees Ferry, but we got a taste that will bring us back. This is the edge of the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, and the whole area is ripe for exploring.
If you are taking your RV through northeastern Arizona from Page westward towards Jacob’s Lake and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Kanab, Utah or north towards Natural Bridges, the detour to Lees Ferry is really worthwhile. The combination of red rock canyons and riverside scenery is hard to beat!
Red rock country knocks our socks off every time we visit.

Thanks for your post on B&W Hitches. The post was very informative and well written & illustrated. With the information you provided I discovered I had a B&W turnover gooseneck installed in the 2011 Chevy 3500 HD turbo diesel I found up in Minnesota. After a few calls and a bit of additional research I got a Companion fifth wheel hitch shipped to Tucson.
I’m glad you found the post about B&W hitches was helpful. And how neat to discover you already had the rails and turnover ball in your truck and all you needed was the hitch itself. Lucky you!
Such a gorgeous area — and there’s so much to explore! Even though we’ve spent lots of time in Red Rock Country, we’re headed to Vermillion Cliffs National Monument for the first time in May. Thanks for the wonderful preview!
You’ll have lots of fun there, Laurel. Enjoy!!
We took a family river rafting trip that departed from Lee’s Ferry. Beautiful area! Beautiful vacation. Thanks for the memories.
We would LOVE to do a river rafting trip from there. Maybe “someday”… Lucky you!!!

Will Apple Be “Pushing” the Mojave Upgrade To Unsuspecting Users?
Apple has never pushed major updates to the operating system to anyone. You usually get some notifications that it is available, but you have to go through steps to initiate the download and installation.
I can’t say for 100%, because only Apple knows for sure. But if it is like every other major macOS update of the past, you will need to take action to install it when the time comes.
I was alerted to this website — https://tidbits.com/2017/11/15/apple-starts-pushing-high-sierra-on-unsuspecting-mac-users/ — which seemed to indicate the possibility of new upgrades being “pushed.” Thank you for your reply.
Jan: There’s a pretty misleading headline on that article. If you read it it says that a notification is sent and you have to accept it. I’m also pretty sure you have several more chances to confirm you wish to update before you actually do.

A former Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) medical director has pledged to speak out about the government’s “fitness for work” test if he finds it is “not proper”, after he was ambushed by campaigners at a conference.
Professor Sir Mansel Aylward had been delivering a keynote speech on the controversial issue of the different “models” used by professionals to explain disability, to the International Forum on Disability Management in central London.
The biennial forum brings together delegates from across the world to discuss how to “manage” disability in the workplace, with those attending including employers, senior figures in the insurance industry, and government and union officials.
Sir Mansel is closely associated with the biopsychosocial (BPS) model, which campaigners say puts much of the blame for disability on the disabled person, rather than the social model explanation, which says disability is created by the barriers of attitude and environment disabled people face.
A small group of protesters delivered a copy of a letter written to the Guardian newspaper – signed by 420 disabled people, including many leading activists – to Sir Mansel, outside the hall where he had given his speech.
The letter claims the BPS model is “nothing short of a creation of the insurance industry”, and is being used to deny disabled people the support they need through the benefits system.
It also criticises the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) for organising the conference and lending “an aura of legitimacy” to the “pseudo-scientific approach” of the BPS model.
The protesters told Sir Mansel that the much-criticised work capability assessment (WCA) – used to test eligibility for out-of-work disability benefits, and introduced in 2008 – was based on the BPS model and had been heavily influenced by the insurance industry.
Sir Mansel admitted that the assessment was developed from the “all work test” he introduced himself in 1997 while at the DWP.
He surprised protesters by claiming that he could not comment on the WCA because he did “not know enough about it”, but pledged to “make myself aware based on what you have told me”.
Sir Mansel said he sympathised with the protesters, and himself now found the BPS model “unsatisfactory” and believed it “no longer addresses the real needs of disabled people and the exclusion of disabled people from society”.
He said the “social” element of the BPS model had been “neglected” and that he had a personal “distaste” for the medical model, which focuses on people’s impairments as the cause of their disability.
The issue of which explanatory “model” to use is important partly because the government’s welfare reform minister, Lord Freud, has said that the new assessment of disabled people’s eligibility for personal independence payment – the replacement for disability living allowance – will be based on a BPS approach and not the social model.
Earlier this year, Lord Freud quoted analysis which stated that – as defined by the BPS model – disability was “best overcome by an appropriate combination of healthcare, rehabilitation, personal effort and social/work adjustments”.
During his speech, Sir Mansel, who was the DWP’s chief medical adviser and medical director from 1996 to 2005, said he was “no longer satisfied” with the BPS model.
But he also claimed there was “a bit of a paradox” between the rights rhetoric of disabled activists and the protests connected with the WCA, which he said saw disabled protesters arguing that “because we are sick we cannot work”.
He also said there was “extensive clinical evidence that beliefs aggravate and perpetuate illness and disability” – a key element of the BPS approach that causes anger among many disabled people – and that “how people think and feel about their problems influence how they deal with them and their impact”.
And he claimed that although the social model was “still very relevant”, it was “not well understood” by the “fanatical elements” of the disability movement.
Sir Mansel is now director of the Centre for Psychosocial and Disability Research (CPDR) at Cardiff University, which is particularly controversial because of its previous sponsorship by the insurance giant Unum.
He talked with protesters for several minutes after his speech and told them that Unum was a “participant” in the conference but not a “sponsor”, even though the welcome pack for delegates thanked companies – including Unum – that had supported the three-day event, while the USB flash drives handed out to delegates had Unum’s logo written on them.
Sir Mansel, who chairs the forum’s “core committee group”, also pointed out that Unum had stopped sponsoring his CPDR about four years ago.
Unum is the UK’s largest provider of “income protection insurance” (IPI), and tougher welfare rules – such as those that are seeing incapacity benefit (IB) replaced by employment and support allowance, with a new, tougher, assessment – could persuade more people to take out IPI, boosting Unum’s profits.
Mounting evidence suggests Unum has been trying to influence government policy on IB reform for nearly two decades, claims the company has repeatedly denied.
Last year, Unum launched a major marketing campaign to promote the need for IPI, just as the coalition began its three-year programme to reassess about 1.5 million existing claimants of IB through the new, stricter test.
Unum has also admitted there has been widespread criticism of its past actions in the US, mainly over its refusal to pay out on large numbers of genuine insurance claims by disabled people.
John McArdle, one of the protesters and a founding member of the user-led campaign group Black Triangle, asked Sir Mansel about Unum’s past history in the US.
Sir Mansel said he could not speak for Unum, but that he had seen the BPS model as a “stepping stone” to “get rid of the medical model”.
Protesters also raised concerns aired last week in the Commons by the Labour MP Kevin Brennan that the chief medical officer of Atos Healthcare – the company that carries out WCAs – is Professor Michael O’Donnell, who was previously Unum’s chief medical officer.
Brennan told MPs that the insurance commissioner for California had described Unum in 2005 as an “outlaw company” that had “operated in an unlawful fashion for many years, running claims denial factories”.
McArdle told DNS that protesters were concerned at this “revolving door”, which saw senior DWP officials and Atos and Unum figures move from one organisation to the other, which he said created “a clear conflict of interest”.
He said campaigners were worried that the health insurance industry had “undue influence on our public health and social policy”.
The letter the protesters handed to Sir Mansel called for an “urgent and thorough independent public inquiry” into the links between senior Unum, Atos and DWP staff in creating the current “government disability assessment regime”.
An RSM spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that Unum was one of the sponsors of the IFDM.
“The sponsorship arrangements were agreed by the sponsorship team in early August while Sir Mansel Aylward was out of the country.
She said the conference was one of more than 400 “educational meetings” RSM was involved in every year.
She added: “The RSM is not a policy making body and does not issue guidelines or standards of care. It is a charity focused on providing high quality education.
Of course the WCA is ‘improper’ just like the governments abuse and propaganda against disabled people.
In a week when Cameron has castigated the media, the police and other elites for their disgusting abuse of the Hillsborough families, Liverpool fans and the City itself what do we find – the government allowing a culture that is rampant with prejudice and propaganda against disabled people – that’s all okay by them.
I find this whole matter sickening. But cameron is being a hypocrit here because it suits him. Iain Duncan Smith and the rest of them have allowed a situation to exist that is equally horofic and it ‘s about time the post paralympic public ficking woke up to what is happening!
Unum is the UK’s largest provider of “income protection insurance” (IPI), and tougher welfare rules – such as those that are seeing incapacity benefit (IB) replaced by employment and support allowance, with a new, tougher, assessment – could persuade more people to take out IPI, boosting Unum’s profits……………………………………………….. Unum use the same model for their assessments so if you don’t qualify for benefits then your income protection policy won’t pay out either. Don’t waste your money on a product from Unum….it certainly isn’t a back up plan!!!
If this paper had been publish in a more strict scientific field like Physics, it would be labeled as pure conjecture.
Mainly because it does not offer any replicable experiments. It’s purely a hypothosis rather than a model.
It always annoys me whe so called professors in the fields that can only produce a hypothosis dare to even call their conjecture models.

When you think of the He-Man and Masters of the Universe Action Figures from the 80’s, you instantly imagine a genre defining toy style packed with big muscles and even bigger playsets. But what if there was more to the story? What if a toy sculptor had started from a different point of view before changing the toy proportions to what we know today. What if those prototypes were found? What if?
Super7 is proud to present a new history thirty years in the making! Feast your eyes on the Masters of the Universe Stage 01 Prototype Action Figure collection, which were sculpted by one of the original Star Wars sculptors from the 70’s. Closely resembling the 1970’s era 3 3/4” scale action figures, The Masters of the Universe Stage 01 Prototype Action Figure collection set includes 4 unpainted figures each with their unique individual weapons: He-Man and the Power Sword, Skeletor and his Havoc Staff, Mer-Man and his sword and Beastman with his whip. They will be available only at Skeletor’s Lair during SDCC at 701 8th Ave., San Diego, CA 92101. Each set will retail $60 and is limit one per person.
