We are leaving our stay in a traditional Japanese farm house near Miyama with a beautiful old vegetarian Buddhist couple, Keisan and Setsusan. It was spartan and rustic (sleeping on floor mats and one shared outhouse made us appreciate what we left behind) but so wonderful to be out in the beautiful Japanese countryside.
The family lives on an organic garden, where they make their own tofu from their soy beans, their own ancient rice strain, Japanese vegetables, some fruits (we had homemade plum juice that was like eating pure magic), and chickens for their eggs (never meat).
We helped pound the rice into a gelatinous paste for mochi, brandy sliced and cooked in the kitchen with Setsusan, the kids fished in the creek for fish which brought a huge smile on Keisan every time they pulled up a squiggly fish, hiked through a beautiful cedar forest that reminded us of hiking through the redwoods on the California coast, went and prayed at their Buddhist temple (he asked that we all pray for world peace), rang the monastery bell, and smiled with our wonderful hosts the entire time.
Meals were a big event, where we would all arrange our many small plates and bowls in a very strict fashion (we kept worrying that we were placing our chopsticks on the wrong side), turned the zippers on the floor cushions away from the home’s altar, and waited patiently for the grandfather to lead the blessing and give thanks for the blessing of the meal. The food was ‘interesting’ with many pickled vegetables, tofu and egg mixes, soups, and always rice. Flavors and textures like we’ve never experienced, and some of them were good.
At night, they pulled out some traditional games where we blindfolded ourselves and with the help of a partner tried to reassemble a face on the board it was so funny to watch.
Japanese society is struggling with the consequences of an aging population (low birth rates mean the population is aging and shrinking) combined with urbanization (34 million people live in Tokyo!) which leaves empty homes in the countryside and dying villages (literally and figuratively) and homes with amazing history, land, and architecture that are nearly free because no one wants them.
We loved the countryside and the people (almost all elderly) in Japanese farm land.
On the way home we stopped at a few beautiful temples and shrines.
The first temple we went to was the Jingo-Ji Temple. Before we even got to the temple, we had to climb up so many steps. The first flight was easy and we ran up them but then we went up and up and up. It felt like we could’ve flown an airplane up there. PHEW!! A LOT OF WORK FOR TWO KIDS AND THREE GROWN UPS!! Then and only then we went into the temple. We had to take our shoes off to go into the temple. After we went inside, we went to the pond and saw a large amount of tadpoles.
At Ginkakuji Temple we saw a really small sand and clay replica of Mt. Fuji and the Silver Pagoda. We walked around a path through the garden and walked quite a bit. Really, we didn’t do much at that temple, but it was really beautiful, even in the rain.
Heian Shrine was also pretty awesome and really BIG. It is a Shinto shrine, not Buddhist like the other one. We got to walk in the gardens which were very pretty. My favorite part was when we got to buy some bread and feed the gigantic koi and cute, little turtles. Brayden and I said we could have stayed there for hours. We wanted the turtles to get all our food, because they were so slow and the koi kept stealing from the turtles. Sometimes we would even throw the bread onto their shells, but they didn’t notice. It was really funny.
Omri, our tour guide, told us a story about the ancient Japanese Shinto treasures. One of the treasures is the sword. This was the story: There once was a man who had eight daughters. Seven of the eight daughters were kidnapped by an eight-headed serpent. The old man asked the God, Susanoo to kill the serpent, so he could save his eighth daughter. Susanoo killed the beast by bringing him eight bottles of sake and putting them each behind eight gates. When the serpent stuck his head into the gate to drink the sake, Susanoo slammed the first gate on his head and chopped it off. He saved the daughter and while he was fighting the beast, he discovered the sacred sword and returned it to the Shinto Sun Goddess.
I felt really happy when we were saying good-bye to the people we stayed with at the farmhouse, but I also felt a little sad, because we were leaving such nice people who were always smiling, telling stories and really full of happiness. The temples and the shrine were so pretty, especially in the rain. I really loved the Japanese gardens, they all made me feel so peaceful.
Brookie…what a wonderful story…like you, I found myself feeling sorry for the poor turtles!! I’m glad you took such good care of them. I also found myself wondering just what you will be doing next…’can’t wait to hear!

Minority Rights Group (MRG) has launched a crowdfunding campaign to fight racism in the Dominican Republic where over 100,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent are stateless and face discrimination. The campaign aims to raise £5,000 to help 12 Dominico-Haitian community leaders empower youth and stop discrimination through training, cultural actions and expert advice.
From the 1920s, Haitian migrants moved to the Dominican Republic to work on sugarcane plantations. Over time, they integrated into Dominican communities, becoming the country’s largest minority group. However, there is a long history of discrimination against Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic. Most recently, in 2013, a constitutional court judgement deprived thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent of their Dominican nationality, leaving them in a tragic limbo. Despite efforts by the government to solve the issue, thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent still have no identity documents and so cannot access school, healthcare or work. Thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent face discrimination because of their skin colour and ancestry every day.
MRG’s fundraising campaign will help empower young Dominicans of Haitian descent by giving them tools they need to challenge discrimination. Campaign proceeds will enable 12 leaders of Dominico-Haitian community train and empower youth in at least five informal settlements to boost their confidence and help them find creative solutions to their challenges. The campaign will support those young leaders to build a social movement in each informal settlement to demand access to the services they are entitled to, such as running water, roads or education.
MRG is partnering in this campaign with Movimiento de Mujeres Dominico-Haitianas (MUDHA), a Dominico-Haitian women’s organization, with whom MRG has successfully implemented cultural and training projects in Dominico-Haitian communities for six years.

Approximately one in eight patients treated with catheter ablation for AF will undergo a second procedure within one year, although the rate is as high as 40% in young patients at five years.
Privately insured and Medicare Advantage American patients who underwent the procedure between January 1 2004 and September 30 2014 were included in the study. The primary outcome was repeat AF ablation during enrolment. Authors examined the associations between repeat ablation and patient demographics (age, gender, socioeconomic demographics), co-morbid conditions (CHA2DS2-Vasc score, and Charlson-index), and year of the index ablation. Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify predictors of repeat ablation.
They included 8,648 adult patients in the analysis. Median age was 61.0 (interquartile range IQR -54–68) years and 70.9% were men. Median follow-up was 1.1 (IQR 0.5–2.3) years. A total of 1,263 patients underwent repeat ablation (14.6%) over a total of 14,280 person years (12.1% at one year). The hazard ratio (HR) for repeat ablation was higher in younger patients (HR 0.75 [0.61– 0.91; p < 0.01] for age 65–75, and 0.55 [0.4, 0.75; p<0.001] for age ≥75 compared to age 18-54), higher household income (HR 1.24 [1, 1.54; p<0.05] for household income ≥$100,000; compared to household income <$40,000), patients treated in the south (HR 1.15 [1, 1.31]; P<0.05), and among those on anti-arrhythmic medications (HR 1.15 [1.01-1.31]; P<0.05).
In particular, younger patients (ages 18–54 years) continued to undergo repeat ablations over the entire follow up period and the cumulative rate was approximately 40% among those followed for five years. Clinical characteristics including those included in the CHA2DS2-Vasc score and Charlson index did not predict likelihood of repeat ablation. Rate of repeat ablation remained constant over the available follow up.
“We can tell our patients that, on average, [they have a] one in eight chance of undergoing a repeat ablation procedure within the first year…I found it interesting that certain demographic characteristics were associated with the likelihood of a repeat ablation – more so than the typical comorbidities we think of predicting the likelihood of recurrent AF after ablation,” Dr Noseworthy added.

In May 2016, I posted this video by Pastor Banning Liebscher titled Call to the Inner Room. I’m reposting it again today because you have no idea how this one message completely changed my life. I’m in awe as I look back over what has transpired since watching this message.
To have a closer relationship with the Father, you must set aside that private time with Him, no books, video message, song, or anything else can do what private time in prayer with the Father can do and that’s just what I did.
I was so desperate for a deeper relationship with Him that I found myself on the floor, in the closet of our guest room crying out to God. It was the most amazing thing! He was there and He answered.
Pastor Banning says that there are certain things that can only be found in the secret place of the inner room. What to do you find in the inner room?
“God” – God is in the inner room and He loves to be found there. This is where He can release the anointing on your life.
“You” – He develops your life and gives you a root system. He develops you not your vision. He can’t release a vision on you until you have a foundation. Just as roots are developed underground, God develops you in private. You are called to bear fruit, more fruit and much fruit but you cannot bear fruit if you do not have a healthy root system.
“A Word” – In the secret place, He gives you a realm of faith you can only receive in the inner room. When God gives you a word, He intends for it to abide in you. How does the word abide in you? It cannot be half hearted you must be obsessed by the word. This can only be done by spending time in the inner room.
This is where He meets you.
This is where He speaks to you.
This is where He gives you a word.
This is where He anoints you.
This is where you find your purpose.
This is where you gain access to a realm of faith that only He has access to.
This video change my life because I raised my hand. Will you raise yours?

1Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: 2and lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about. 3Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. 7Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. 8And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 10And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 11Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 12And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 14Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. 15Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 16Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17that they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

The webinar presents the results and lessons learned, following a year-long game-based learning validation study, which was carried out by Triseum and European Schoolnet. The study tested and evaluated Variant: Limits, Triseum’s calculus game, in schools in five different countries in Europe. The webinar pays attention to how the Triseum game was implemented in classrooms and the effects it had on student engagement and motivation to learn.

Small business owners in Illinois are receiving official looking green or blue envelopes from “Corporate Records Services,” which call them to provide corporate and personal information, such as the business name, address and credit card information with the payment of $125 to prepare corporate records. With the scam looking official, small business owners are sending in money because it refers to applicable sections of the Corporation Act. The notice has a prominent “respond by” date and displays a disclaimer.
Corporate Records Services is not a government office or agency and is not affiliated with the Illinois Secretary of State. This is a private company that probably bought the Illinois Secretary of State’s corporation mailing list or extracted the business names and addresses from its website and targets the small companies. Companies’ owners often think that they are filing their annual reports and send the requested information along with the money. Later, such companies realize that their $125 were used for pay for the “form resolutions.” The companies still have to file their annual reports and pay the applicable fees. The companies should disregard such mailings and respond only onto the annual report notices received from the Illinois Secretary of State.

A couple of days ago I was linked to Searchers of the Unknown, which is a one-page trimming-down of classic D&D. Despite being dubious about its limitations and holding on to descending AC at first I soon found both of these were good things.
Firstly the limitations meant you had very little to consider, as a player, mechanically. We encountered a pit very early on and rather than rolling athletics to leap over it we went back and unscrewed a door, using it as a makeshift bridge. This is extremely basic D&D stuff, but it felt so much more encouraged with such a minimal ruleset.
Secondly, descending Armour Class actually made sense for the first time. It was a roll-under target for attacks and was used for things like sneaking in a way that made the smaller=better idea actually fit.
Not to be outdone, I remembered that I had my own very-light system, The Adventurer's Tale. Although this game is very simple in itself the document is still pretty large with the optional rules, monsters and spells. Could I trim the core of it down to one sheet? I could. All the rules for creating an adventurer and playing the game are on the front of the sheet, with the back filled with spells and monsters for characters to encounter.
So here's the Adventurer's Tale One-Sheet Quickstart. Grab a few friends and run a pickup game today!

Kanata Nordic members who are between 4 and 13 years old can enroll in the Bunnyrabbit, Jackrabbit and Dynarabbit programs. These on-snow learn-to-ski programs run on Saturday afternoons at Wesley Clover Parks for 10 weeks starting in January. Some special drylands activities for program participants are available in the fall.
The purpose of the Bunnyrabbit program is to introduce cross-country skiing through organized activity, games, and play on skis. It is very important for our new skiers to have fun while they are learning! The objectives for these young skiers are to master the more basic ski skills including falling/rising, side-stepping, herringbone and ski walking. Children in the Bunnyrabbit program ski without poles.
Each child must have a parent with the group, so adults, be prepared to have fun with your children!
This year we are offering Bunnyrabbit lessons on both Saturday and Sunday.
The Jackrabbit program encourages young skiers to continue their skills development, gradually involving more advanced techniques. The emphasis is still to have fun while learning, with lots of games incorporated into the lessons. Children will learn techniques in both classic and skating as they progress through the four levels. Participants are given a personal booklet to track their progress each season. Sticker awards are given for technique and program achievements. Parents are encouraged to participate alongside their Jackrabbits.
There are four levels in the Jackrabbit program, starting with Level 1, which follows after the Bunnyrabbit program. Generally children achieve a level in one season, although Level 3 and more so Level 4 can take multiple seasons to master. Participants will gradually develop skills in both the classic and skate skiing techniques with the aim of acquiring competence and confidence for virtually any cross-country ski outing and condition. Skiers are placed into levels according to their age, ability, and previous ski experience.
Part of the Jackrabbit program, Dynarabbits is intended for children starting to ski at an older age. This is a great entry point for new skiers ages 9 through 13 years who would feel out of place with the younger beginners in Bunnyrabbits or early Jackrabbit levels. The objective for this program is to give these older new skiers an introduction to skiing in both techniques, so that they can leapfrog into the level of their peers within a season or two.
It can be expensive to have two sets of equipment, and everything is different for skating versus classic: skis, boots, bindings, and poles. So for skiers just starting to skate the key one is the boots. You need ankle-high ones with a stiff cuff. There are combi boots which work for both techniques — stiff enough for skate but flexible enough at the toe to do classic. If you only buy one pair of boots we recommend you look for combi boots.
Ski swaps are the best place for a really good deal on used equipment. They usually happen in October and November. Plus you can resell old equipment there and get back some of your original purchase price.
Another thing to note is that when skate skiing you don’t use grip wax on your ski base. With waxable skis you just remove whatever is there (and if you’re keen you can put on glide wax). With no-wax skis you can still skate but it’ll be slower because of the large grip area.
All Kanata Nordic programs are volunteer driven and depend on volunteer coordinators and coaches to be able to run. Club subsidized training for volunteers is available, including as ski leaders and in first aid. This is a great opportunity to build your cross-country skills and share your passion for cross-country skiing with others.
For more information on Children’s Programs contact Jackrabbit Coordinator, jackrabbit@kanatanordic.ca.
As much as we love to ski, there are some days when learn-to-ski lessons are not feasible due to weather conditions. Lesson cancellation will happen in the event of extreme weather or unsafe ski conditions (i.e. freezing rain / icy conditions).
Lesson cancellations are determined by 10:30 am on Saturday mornings and be posted on the www.kanatanordic.ca website.
In colder temperatures leaders adjust their lesson plans so skiers are not standing around and have more frequent breaks. As well, we respect parents decision to determine what is best for their child and in what conditions they should be skiing.
Always make sure you and your children are dressed for the weather and are comfortable in the conditions.
Refund Policy: Memberships fees are non-refundable. If you wish to withdraw from a program, we will refund the program fee less 20% retained to cover the club’s associated administration costs. To obtain a refund please contact registration@kanatanordic.ca by January 19, 2019. Please note that Kanata Nordic reserves the right to cancel any programs with insufficient registration or without volunteer leaders. In this case every effort will be made to find an equivalent program or a refund will be offered.
Kanata Nordic programs are subject to the will of Mother Nature. We generally follow Cross Country Canada’s guidelines in terms of program cancellation. This means programs will be cancelled if conditions are unsafe or temperatures are below acceptable limits. We attempt to reschedule cancelled events but this is at the discretion of group leaders. The Club will attempt to give its members as much notice as possible for program changes caused by weather we thank you for your understanding.

The middle row seatbelts optional on the Explorer inflate when a collision is detected, helping to spread crash forces over a much larger area of the body and limiting head and neck movement. This can help prevent spinal and internal injuries. The Highlander doesn’t offer inflatable seatbelts.
Compared to metal, the Explorer’s plastic fuel tank can withstand harder, more intrusive impacts without leaking; this decreases the possibility of fire. The Toyota Highlander has a metal gas tank.
Both the Explorer and the Highlander have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, front-wheel drive, height-adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available all-wheel drive, collision warning systems, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, front and rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.
There are over 2 times as many Ford dealers as there are Toyota dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Explorer’s warranty.
The Explorer has a standard “limp home system” to keep drivers from being stranded if most or all of the engine’s coolant is lost. The engine will run on only half of its cylinders at a time, reduce its power and light a warning lamp on the dashboard so the driver can get to a service station for repairs. The Highlander doesn’t offer a lost coolant limp home mode, so a coolant leak could strand you or seriously damage the truck’s engine.
J.D. Power and Associates rated the Explorer third among midsize suvs in their 2018 Initial Quality Study. The Highlander isn’t in the top three.
Explorer 2.3 turbo 4 cyl.
Highlander 2.7 DOHC 4 cyl.
On the EPA test cycle the Explorer FWD 4 cyl. gets better fuel mileage than the Highlander FWD 4 cyl. (19 city/27 hwy vs. 20 city/24 hwy).
The Explorer has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Highlander doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.
The Explorer’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Highlander are solid, not vented.
For better traction, the Explorer’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Highlander (255/50R20 vs. 245/60R18).
The Explorer’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Highlander SE/Limited/Platinum’s 55 series tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Explorer offers optional 20-inch wheels. The Highlander’s largest wheels are only 19-inches.
The Explorer has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads. The Highlander’s suspension doesn’t offer gas-charged shocks.
The Explorer has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Highlander doesn’t offer variable-assist power steering.
For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Explorer’s wheelbase is 3 inches longer than on the Highlander (112.8 inches vs. 109.8 inches).
For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Explorer is 2.6 inches wider in the front and 2.8 inches wider in the rear than on the Highlander.
The Explorer Sport 4WD handles at .83 G’s, while the Highlander AWD pulls only .80 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.
The Explorer Limited 4WD executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Highlander LE (27.7 seconds @ .63 average G’s vs. 28.3 seconds @ .64 average G’s).
The front grille of the Explorer uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Highlander doesn’t offer active grille shutters.
The Explorer has 6.6 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Highlander (151.5 vs. 144.9).
The Explorer has .7 inches more front headroom, .1 inches more front hip room, 2.2 inches more front shoulder room, .7 inches more rear headroom, 1.1 inches more rear legroom, 1.4 inches more rear shoulder room, 1.9 inches more third row headroom and 5.6 inches more third row legroom than the Highlander.
The Explorer’s cargo area provides more volume than the Highlander.
The Explorer has a standard third row seat which folds flat into the floor. This completely clears a very large cargo area quickly. The Highlander doesn’t offer seats that fold into the floor.
Pressing a switch automatically lowers or raises the Explorer Sport/Platinum’s optional second and third row seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Highlander doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.
To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Explorer’s liftgate can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Highlander doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its liftgate, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.
The Explorer offers a remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Highlander doesn’t offer a remote starting system.
The Explorer (except Base/XLT)’s optional easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Highlander doesn’t offer an easy entry system.
The power windows standard on both the Explorer and the Highlander have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the Explorer is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The Highlander prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.
On a hot day the Explorer’s driver can lower the front windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Highlander can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.
In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don’t have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Explorer XLT/Limited/Sport/Platinum’s exterior keypad. The Highlander doesn’t offer an exterior keypad entry system.
The Explorer’s standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn’t have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Highlander’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
The Explorer offers optional automatic dimming rear and side view mirrors which automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Highlander offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.
The Explorer (except Base/XLT/Sport)’s optional Enhanced Active Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Highlander doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
According to The Car Book by Jack Gillis, the Explorer is less expensive to operate than the Highlander because typical repairs cost much less on the Explorer than the Highlander, including $274 less for a starter, $238 less for fuel injection, $100 less for a fuel pump and $903 less for a timing belt/chain.
The Ford Explorer outsold the Toyota Highlander by 7% during 2018.

These recent diplomatic problems between the two countries are nothing unusual, but the rhetoric has started to move up a gear.
Conversely, by providing a refuge for them, Uganda enabled these displaced Rwandan refugees to create what became, in the late 1980s, the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF). Additionally, it was thanks to Uganda that the RPF’s military wing, the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA), escaped total defeat at the hands of the Rwandan government’s military, the Forces Armées Rwandaises (FAR), following its failed October 1990 invasion of Rwanda. The retreating RPA, led by (then general) Paul Kagame used Ugandan territory to move west and later occupy Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains – and would later fight to stop the 1994 Rwandan genocide (also referred to as the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi).
Since the end of the genocide, Rwanda and Uganda (led by the old comrades-in-arms, Kagame and Museveni) have fought together on several occasions. During the First Congo War (1996-1997), they battled against the Rwandan genocide perpetrators who fled into Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) after the genocide and helped to overthrew Zairian leader Mobutu Sese Seko. They again fought together during the early stages of the Second Congo War (1998-2003), before turning on each other in the bloody 1999 fight to take control of the Congolese city of Kisangani, which resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths. Since the end of the Second Congo War, relations between the two countries have been inconsistent – although Kagame and Museveni have usually been able to negotiate and reduce tensions.
On March 5, however, poor relations between the two countries come to a head after the Rwandan foreign minister, Richard Sezibera, held a press conference outlining Rwanda’s concerns with Uganda. He briefly closed the border with Uganda and advised Rwandans residing in Uganda to leave immediately. He accused Uganda of arresting Rwandans, disrupting regional trade and of providing support and space for anti-Rwanda groups. Uganda has denied all the allegations.
The phrase “bring me to my knees” is significant – and relates to the concept of “agaciro”. Typically, agaciro – a Kinyarwanda word meaning self-reliance, dignity and self-respect – is used to describe Rwanda’s economic policies. But it also central to how Rwanda engages with the international community and promotes its state interests.
President Museveni could now make similar inroads by expressing his understanding of Rwanda’s concerns – and its desire to be treated with respect. He should start with a gesture of goodwill by removing any known FDLR or RNC associates from the country.
War is unlikely and there is some hope – Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta has met with both leaders and may help to mediate between them. But if nothing is done to ease the current standoff, tensions will remain high, impacting not only regional relations but both countries’ development and integration, too.

I read an article where the President of the New York Stock Exchange had said, he owed every job he ever had to networking. The statement alone speaks volumes. I sat back and thought about every job I have ever held and how I ended up ultimately getting the position. It was always through someone I knew, or a connection I made.
At Epitec, the main focus of the roles I have held has been about building a Network. When I walked out of every meeting, event, or even lunch, I would think about conscious reasons as to what the obvious benefit would be. How important would continuing the relationships with the people I had met matter? It would only take one person to pass my name along to someone else, which created a trickle down effect to the success I have had either in Business Development or as an Account Manager.
The most important thing I would say in regards to networking, is to not limit it. It doesn’t matter if someone is inside or outside of your industry or spectrum. If they are interesting and influential, be willing to commit time and/or resources to meet, connect, or help that individual. The most successful people I have met, have had the broadest range of network spanning industries, locations, and occupations. Sometimes it can be individuals completely outside your immediate circle that end up being a connector that propels you forward at a crucial point in your career.
Networking has even impacted my life to the extent of my Mom handing out my business cards, which ultimately enabled me to build relationships with some other individuals within Johnson Controls. I was able to meet, and find out information from employees I would have never known otherwise.
I like to say AIM HIGH. Often time’s people miss opportunities to network because they may feel intimidated, especially if the person is more senior. There is very little downside when aiming high. The worst that can happen is they say “no” or ignore you. At that point, it is onward and upward!

Regulatory update on reforming major interest rate benchmarks following the scandals involving the manipulation of financial benchmarks.
With the unfolding of the financial scandals involving the manipulation of financial benchmarks, and the subsequent publication by the Financial Stability Board Official Sector Steering Group of its report on reforming major interest rate benchmarks, there has since been various regulatory developments and reforms introduced, notably in the UK, EU and Singapore.
The CEO of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has stated that FCA, which currently regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), will no longer ask or require banks to submit LIBOR rates after end-2021. There is a clear effort to transition away from the current use of LIBOR in an orderly manner.
The market is presently looking for alternative rates and there are ongoing discussions on potentially using Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as replacement rates. Neither appears to be entirely appropriate for use in the loans market for various reasons, including the fact that these rates are overnight backward looking rates whereas pricing for loans is typically based on tenor-specific forward-looking rates.
The industry body for syndicated loans, the Loan Market Association (LMA), has expressed the view that there should be a market-led solution with a consistent approach across all leading financial industry bodies. Until the alternative rate is identified, LMA template documents cannot be updated definitively but there is likely to be new language proposed to facilitate to transition to a new rate pending identification on that rate.
The EU Benchmarks Regulation has now entered into force. Most of the new rules will not apply until 01 January 2018 but some provisions relating to critical benchmarks are already in effect.
The Regulation aims to reduce conflicts of interests and the risk of manipulation arising and to restore public confidence in the accuracy and integrity of financial benchmarks. The Regulation seeks to address potential issues at each stage of the benchmark process. In particular, the Regulation will introduce requirements which are intended to improve the quality of input data from benchmark contributors and the methodologies employed by benchmark administrators to compile the benchmark. The Regulation also introduces improved governance requirements and controls over the benchmark process, which are intended to ensure that benchmark administrators avoid conflicts of interest, or at least take steps to manage them adequately. EU regulated entities that use a benchmark will be required to produce and maintain robust written plans setting out the actions that they would take in the event that a benchmark materially changes or ceases to be provided. Where feasible, such plans should specify an alternative benchmark that could be used as a substitute. EU regulated entities are required to provide these plans, upon request, to their regulators and also to reflect them in their contractual documentation with their clients.
Broadly, under the transitional provisions applicable to the Regulation, existing benchmarks may continue to be used by EU regulated entities until 01 January 2020. However, it is also important to note that contributors, administrators and users of benchmarks will have some new obligations under the EU Benchmarks Regulation from 01 January 2018.
ABS Benchmarks Administration Co Pte Ltd, which administers the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR), together with the Singapore Foreign Exchange Market Committee published a consultation paper in December 2017. One of the main proposals of this consultation paper is to adopt a new waterfall methodology in computing SIBOR. The main change from the current approach is the proposal to reference a broader set of banks’ borrowing transactions beyond those in the interbank market.
Level 1 (highest priority) Transactions in underlying market The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of a panel bank’s unsecured interbank and wholesale funding transactions.
Level 2 Transactions in related markets Adjustment of previous level 1 or 2 submissions with related transaction data.
Level 3 (lowest priority) Expert Judgement Internally documented methodology for deriving rate submissions, subject to appropriate governance and accountability controls.
It is proposed that this methodology will provide greater clarity and additional guidance on the type of transactions in underlying markets that can be included, and how related market transactions can be used to anchor submissions. This new waterfall methodology expands the funding sources taken into consideration in computing SIBOR, strengthens SIBOR’s reliance on transaction data, and should also provide more explicit guidance to panel banks, to ensure consistency in practices across the panel banks.
publishing the proportion of submission inputs (ie level 1, level 2, and level 3) for each benchmark tenor periodically.
The good news for market participants is that the current proposal is to ensure a seamless transition path for SIBOR. The name of the benchmark would remain as “SIBOR” and the rate would continue to be published on the same data vendor pages.
From a loan operations perspective, banks and borrowers should review existing loan documentation to ensure that there are sufficient safeguards in place to ensure that the loans can continue to be administered even if the relevant benchmarks are no longer available. This includes considering what fallback calculation mechanics there are and the steps and, in the context of syndicated loans, the relevant consent levels required in triggering the fallback mechanisms.
From a regulatory perspective, panel banks should be examining the obligations and liabilities attached to the continued provision of reference rates, and how best to manage those risks and responsibilities.

Now that was a deep saying. Don’t you think?
Hello Steemit & @steemkitchen readers!
Welcome back to @joyrobinson new series. This time we’re goong to know more about the world of rice. Yes, that’s right!
Rice is the most consumed food crop worldwide most specially in Asia. It feeds two thirds of the world’s population and has been feeding mankind for more than 5,000 years!
The word “rice” derives from the French word ”ris” which comes from Italian word ”riso” and was first used in English in the 13th century.
Rice is a grain and part of the grass family. It’s a self-polinating species and doesn’t require any insects. The grain is a whole seed of the plant that was grown, harvested and consume.
With a long slender leaves, a rice plant can grow from 1 to 1.8 m or 3.3 to 5.9 ft. tall depending on the variety.
The edible seed or grain can measure from 5 to 12 mm or 0.20 to 0.47 in long and the thickness from 2–3 mm.
Rice hulls or husk are the outer covering that encloses the rice kernel while growing.
Hulls are inedible but can be burn to use as a fiel for power plants or rice mills.
China is the world’s top rice producer according to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) followed by India, and Indonesia.
Brown rice is the healthiest type of rice.
There are thousand varieties of rice which will be part of my next post.
Hope you find this post worth reading and keep posted!
I live near the California 'Rice Belt'. In the winter, when it is small and the fields are flooded routinely the migratory birds that are attracted to them is incredible. The rice grower's association publishes a schedule that many (most) growers follow so that the birds have huge areas of water every day. It's really cool.
Wow, nice to know about that!
The association did a great job.
I can imagine those thousand’s of migratory birds feasting in the rice fields at one of the leading rice producer in the US.
Thank you for your engaging comment Tom!
I thought about growing rice in containers and bringing inside during the winter, but I think it might attract mosquitos since it requires still water, and it's so cheap anyway. I agree that brown rice is the healthiest. I once read that the Japanese believe brown rice is very healthy, but the Chinese believe it is very unhealthy. I don't know if that's true or not. Probably not.
Yes, it requires not just water but also time and effort.
Haha naman! Buti ka pa kahit every day rice ang seksi pa rin.
@steemkitchen very good information, I love rice and it is so versatile to cook with it, any kind of food get along with rice. Colombia eats the rice that produces and are thinking of producing even more for exportation.

Today’s world is the world of the Internet. Search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. have become an essential element of our lives and are of paramount importance to us. We use them for finding solutions to any kind of requirements we have like for finding locations, searching for an appropriate mode of transport, notifying us with information, aiding in our academics, correcting our spellings, ordering food, buying accessories and what not. Almost everyone has access to the internet today, it is no more the asset of the rich. People of all ages whether it may be a teenager or a grown up adult everyone is active on the internet today, which makes it a perfect place for marketing for all kind of businesses.
For online rent advertisement, advertisement and marketing play the most important role. It’s a simple rule the more exposure and public attention a property gets better are the chances of finding an appropriate tenant for the property, and this purpose is duly served by the internet as it is available to almost anyone and everyone today.
The traditional way of rental advertisements included publishing an ad in news dailies, using signboards and sticking flyers in the locality in which the property is located in. Doing all of these still provides access to your advertisement to a very limited group of people, confining it only to one’s neighborhood or to the readers of that news dailies. At the same time when you make online advertisements, the number of people you cover is unimaginable, way beyond one’s neighborhood or the readers of a particular news daily.
online rent advertisement make the job of the landlord much easier as it saves him from the cumbersome process of getting the flyers printed and then its distribution, creating signboards and other related stuff. For online advertisements, one can directly contact the related websites and from there on the need not worry.
Making rental advertisements online one can upload pictures of his property which makes the advertisement much more connective and attractive as renters get a clear idea of what they are being offered and shortlist those only which cater to their needs. This particular thing cannot be done in traditional advertisements which kills renters as well as landlords precious time.
Online advertisements are way more cost-effective than Traditional advertisements. The cost of publishing advertisements in journals, printing flyers, creating signboards or other related stuff is saved.
The third party involvement, in Traditional process of renting and even in earlier online rental platforms, is totally excluded. Instead of brokerage which most platforms ask for advertising one’s property, some new service providers have come up with subscription model of business in which one has to subscribe the particular website at a particular amount in exchange it would advertise and provide the landlord clients.
The most important criteria for ensuring that your real estate investment discharges the desired result is by procuring a perfect balance between getting a dependable tenant, ensuring the right rent is being yielded and in cases of vacancies, urgently filling them up. All these things can be only achieved when you have the right platform for online rent advertisement.
Online advertisements exactly cater to your needs for achieving these aims as they provide a wider reach, are cost-effective and at the same time convenient and so have an upper-hand in comparison to the traditional platforms as the latter is more time to take, costlier and cover a smaller number of people.

This week, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign has revealed itself to be ethically compromised at the highest level.
In recent months it has become clear that the central office of the PSC, are increasingly pandering to the whims of Israeli hasbara activists. Joining with the likes of the rabid Zionist site Harry’s Place in efforts to silence some of this movement’s most outspoken and popular, thinkers.
This week, Sarah Colborne, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was quoted in the pro Israeli paper, the Jewish Chronicle, as supporting a boycott of the highly renowned musician and academic Gilad Atzmon. Atzmon was booked to perform in his professional capacity as a saxaphonist at an event celebrating political song in Bradford, called 'Raise your Banners.' The musician/author has recently published his best selling treatise on Jewish cultural identity called ‘The Wondering Who’. A work that, unlike Sarah Colborne, I have actually read, and can highly recommend, as it pulls no punches, when asking to what degree the racist idealogy - Zionism, when mixed with the Jewish sense of ‘Choseness’, is to blame for the existence of todays Apartheid Israel. It has been endorsed by some of the finest thinkers and writers on Israel/Palestine of our age.
But the subject matter alone (predictably) proved more than enough to have Atzmon, once again, falsely, branded an anti semite by the sections of the Jewish diaspora committed to stopping debate into their awkward, yet staunch, support for Israeli war crimes.
The Jewish Chronicle has spear headed the campaign to pressure organisers of the Bradford event to drop Gilad Atzmon from the bill.
Now, Atzmon is well liked in the PSC branches nationwide. Both as a radical, brilliant, speech maker and as a musician and fund raiser for Palestinian causes.
Yet, this is what Sarah Colborne of the PSC had to say when asked about Atzmon by the JC. "I am very concerned at what appears to be an attempt by Raise Your Banners to misrepresent the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. PSC has made clear to Raise Your Banners that we have no links with Gilad Atzmon, and that Palestine Solidarity Campaign does not work with him. When a representative from Raise Your Banners contacted the PSC office some months ago, they were urged to take seriously the concerns of those who had raised this issue’.
Her words raise several questions that need to be addressed at both national and regional level by the PSC.
Firstly, were members of the PSC asked if they support Colborne in what amounts to a cultural boycott of any staunchly anti Zionist academics?
Let's take a closer look at her last sentence.
‘When a representative from Raise Your Banners contacted the PSC office some months ago, they were urged to take seriously the concerns of those who had raised this issue’.
Colborne reveals that she is apparently supported by other London officials, in this effort to ostracize Atzmon.
So, here's another question. Hasn’t Colborne overstepped her official remit as Director of the PSC? After all this is a body whose name, (if little else at national level), suggests an inclusive movement, open to all voices who actively speak out against Israeli Apartheid with the aim of supporting the Palestinian right to a free state.
She has certainly set a very foolish precedent by bending over to hasbara activists.
Except it was far from a precedent. But merely the most recent in a shameful spate of expulsions and harrassment by the national office of the PSC.
And who is Anthony Cooper, this informer on ethics to the PSC?
Well, he introduces himself in online debates as follows; ‘ I am a Jewish supporter of Israel. Whilst surrounded by enemies bent on her destruction she has gathered and absorbed people from different parts of the world with different cultures and in so doing developed one of her own. Her people are resourceful and resilient. She has problems but her achievements are remarkable and perhaps unparalleled. So why am I suggesting that her friends, like me, should stop defending her?’ He claims he has been ‘researching’ the background of many local PSC groups. He has pointed out numerous websites which he considers (as a 'Jewish supporter of Israel') to contain ‘Holocaust denial’ material. Some of these have been ‘linked to’ PSC members own websites.
Let us note the words ‘linked to’ here. Not even written. But merely ‘linked to’. Links which after pressure from the PSC, its members (those who still care about remaining members) have had to remove.
Mr Ibraheem writes for the site shoah.org. It is strongly worded, carries stories from Palestinian sources on Israeli racism and (significantly) makes no concessions to Jewish sensibilities.
Is writing for such a site a problem for a Palestinian member of the PSC? Apparently so.
Sammi Ibraheem told me; ‘Somebody in the Birmingham PSC with links to the Zionist movement began to take action against me. They asked me to be investigated about my links to Shoah.org.
Sammi disputed the right to an investigation. One that he suspected being set in motion by the very Zionists who occupy his peoples land. Those very people that the PSC are supposed to be in ‘solidarity' with.
‘I refused to attend the meeting and be questioned by a bunch of thugs. So I was removed by vote as the chairman there and then’.
Nothing official was processed or put to the national membership of the PSC many of whom doubtless would have opposed the initimidation and harassment of a Palestinian member.
‘I feel they (the PSC) have no right to represent the Palestinians’ he says, ‘Their policies are pro the ‘two state’ solution. But such a decision is up to the Palestinians to decide. Not a foreign campaign group. The fact that Palestinians involved in an anti Zionist campaign are being kicked out of their committees and local groups proves they (PSC) have no right to represent the Palestinian cause’.
Mr Ibraheem’s experience with the PSC reveals a weakness at the organisations heart.
Today the PSC is attempting to perform a trick that is both impossible and, let's be frank, pointless. They are attempting to create a pro Palestinian organisation - that does not hurt Zionist sensibilities.
And what of the PSC’s rather too cosy relationship with the Zionist blog Harry’s Place?
For Palestinian activist Sammi Ibraheem his woes with the PSC did not stop when he was vaulted from local chairmanship. The harrassment continued. His weekly radio show in Birmingham is called ‘Face the Nation’, on Unity FM. Recently, Ziobots from Harrys Place managed to have him suspended from his radio show for (again) the exaggerated links with the website ‘Shoah.org’ and guess what, for broadcasting an interview with - Gilad Atzmon.
Mr Ibraheem says; ‘The letter that was used to accuse me of anti semitism came from Harry’s Place. But included an email from the recent chair of the Birmingham PSC Naim Malik. It seems to me that Birmingham PSC has links to Harry’s Place somehow’.
This is disturbing. For it appears that it’s not only the London office of the PSC taking tacit (or explicit) guidance from the enemies of our movement. But some of its regional offices as well.
Leftists who increasingly see their remit as not offending Zionists are heading the British ‘solidarity’ work for Palestine. Have they not learnt the larger lesson from, the PLO/Fatah/the PA? Namely, that campaigns of appeasement to the Israeli lobby can never, ever, co exist as part of a determined campaign to end Israel's bloody and illegal occupation of Palestine. And let us be clear. A Palestine Solidarity Campaign should be working to END Zionism. Not ease it a little. Not work alongside it. To be in solidarity with the people of Palestine means fighting Zionism.
And guess what? That just is not going to get you good headlines in the Jewish Chronicle, Harry's Place or for that matter Fox News or the Guardian.
Real leaders of this movement say to that - so what!
The rejection of Gilad Atzmon's academic voice by the PSC is more significant than it may at first appear.
For it cuts to the very heart of where this movement, to end Zionism, (not to merely oppose it, but to end it) should be heading from now.
It is their mistake not to engage with Gilad Atzmon’s writing. His blog on Zionism related issues is even more popular than that of the Electronic Intifada (presumably by dint of its name far too radical for the PSC too).
For which of us who speaks against Israeli war crimes has NOT been branded a terrorist sympathizer or an anti semite on more than one occasion? These overused, misused terms are part of the Sayanim (Israeli Mossad activists) armoury, as has been repeatedly revealed in the past. Branding an anti Zionist 'anti semitic' It is a well worn ploy, an effort to intimidate activists or to delay real progress in the global fight against Israeli Apartheid. The Jewish States Sayanim target those they see as effective, painting us all as radicals and extremists, in the hope that the media, our places or work and even the pro Palestinian movement itself will shun us. Until now, this last has been laughably ineffective. But the friends of Zionism seem to be making some headway. With the likes of Colborne and the National body of the PSC their willing accomplices.
At this crucial time for Palestinian activism, Sarah Colborne et al, have chosen to align with those whose interests lie in silencing debate on the precise nature of Apatheid Israel. And its root causes.
Gill Kafesh, until recently, the popular secretary of the Camden branch of the PSC. was ‘asked to resign by a small group, who made the decision at a special meeting’ this Autumn. On Harry’s Place, Kafesh is listed as (guess what) ‘a supporter of Holocaust denial.’ She denies the slur.
However, she has openly asked the following prescient question; ‘How long do you think it will be until the Jewish Chronicle demands that PSC unreservedly condemn Hamas? And how long before PSC complies? After all, Hamas is obviously ant-semitic – most of the people it attacks are Jewish’.
The point she is making is important. For it is not for the main office of the PSC to decide who is 'right' on such questions as one state/ two state. It is for the campaign to listen to all sides of the Palestinian debate and to reflect these all views in its work.
A leaf should be taken out of the The International Solidarity Movement’s book. A movement whose impetus ALWAYS comes from within Palestine. And for whose members the word 'solidarity' still retains its meaning.
Meanwhile, Francis Clark-Lowes, who has been chairman of national PSC and Brighton PSC was also ‘kicked out’ this Summer. Also for being - guess what- an alleged ‘Holocaust denier’.
Clark-Lowes says ‘Although I didn’t actually hear about it until 21st June. I have appealed against the expulsion from national PSC, and this will be heard at the AGM in January, though it is quite unclear what the procedure will be’.
Whose interests do these expulsions serve?
Britain is witnessing the rise of a new wave of pro Palestinian activists. They need an organisation that is fit for purpose. One that does not pander to the emotional whims of the Jewish, Zionist lobby.
Meanwhile, The Jewish Chronicle, Harrys Place and the PSC central office, should take note of the following news. Last nights 'Raise your Banner' event in Bradford, in which Gilad Atzmon performed, was sold out. Not a single ticket remained. And no protest against the artist and author took place.
They would answer the same to Sarah Colborne.

According to Moonalice legend, in the beginning there was the blues. Then jazz. Then rock ‘n’ roll and the British Invasion. Then came 1965 and the Charlatans. The Charlatans got the San Francisco music scene started. Without them, we would not be here tonight. On June 21, 1965, the Charlatans began a residency here at the Red Dog Saloon which was notable for at least two things: the band took LSD before the show and printed a psychedelic poster. While its possible that another band had taken LSD at a show before that night, there is no doubt that the poster – now known as The Seed – was the beginning of psychedelic poster art. Tonight’s poster by Dennis Loren is an homage to The Seed. This show is an homage to the Charlatans. M510 Read more about poster M510 Watch this show now at Moonalice.com.

It’s only just three months into their time as Cardiff Blues coaches, but John Mulvihill and his staff are facing the pressure after a disappointing defeat to Glasgow Warriors on Scotland last Friday.
The result in isolation is not something that would raise any great questions, defeats in that manner will raise their head every now and again for even the top level sides in club rugby.
However, the manner of that defeat comes on the back of three straight losses that start the season, including the Zebre away game which saw the biggest comeback in the league’s history, as well as the back-to-back losses to Glasgow and Cheetahs at the end of last month.
Each occasion thus far has been followed by impressive wins at the Arms Park, over Munster and Zebre respectively. This time there is no home game on the horizon for Cardiff Blues though, and the challenges are tougher than an under-performing Munster and a Zebre including a number of semi-professional players.
We travel to Ulster this weekend, before heading into a European double header with big spending Gallagher Premiership champions Saracens, and then the small matter of three festive Welsh derbies follow on.
Adding to the worry is a trend that has struck since the beginning of October, which has seen Cardiff Blues behind in games by double figures at the 20-minutes mark in five of the last six games, the exception being the big win over Zebre at CAP.
Factor in John Mulvihill’s post match interview of ‘learning from mistakes’ and ‘being better next week’, and this is where a large source of supporter frustration stems from as the quotes become too matter-of-fact. Almost stereotypical.
Now nobody is calling for departures at this stage, we might be reactionary and hot-headed as Cardiff Blues supporters but we are not short-sighted. Sacking the head coach at this stage would do far more harm than good.
However, we will be keeping a keen eye as John Mulvihill and his coaching staff look to overcome this first major test of their tenures at the Arms Park, with nobody escaping criticism at this point.
Jason Strange’s attack is recently struggling to fire shots in attack, despite possessing some of the best back line talent in the league. Twice now against Glasgow, and on the road against Cheetahs, we have failed to stamp our authority on the game with ball-in-hand, at least until it is already lost.
The defence under Richard Hodges lacks discipline and intensity in it’s line speed and ability to organise after a period of unstructured play. Missed tackles have been aplenty, but they often come down to the system, rather than anything else.
Tom Smith’s forwards have not regularly stamped their authority on the game in attack to secure possession or won enough collisions in defence to compliment work done over the ball, while Duane Goodfield’s set piece is faltering at important moments in matches.
What connects all these issues? An inexperienced coach at this level, and this is worth remembering. All four of those coaches are in their first seasons as a senior coach at a professional club side and they are led by a head coach who has not been in charge at a European professional side before.
They have time to learn lessons, but improvements will need to be seen quickly. We will need to be less passive against Ulster, competitive against Saracens and then gain points in the Welsh derbies.
Last Friday was a huge disappointment, but the season is not gone. How we react from here will define this coaching group. I still have faith, but it is being chipped away.

This is a very polished single screen arcade action game, in which you play as Moebius – who must avoid baddies on platforms whilst collecti... hang on, déjà vu! Yes, The Lost Disks Of Sam is a very punctual remake of 'The Lost Tapes Of Albion' for that little supported and eccentric 8-Bit, the SAM Coupé.
The SAM Coupé itself was an ill-fated home computer by Miles Gordon Technology, and performed like a pimped up ZX Spectrum. In this game BlackJet have taken Dave Hughes' game, and performed a similar make-over. So, for those not paying attention, that’s … 2010: a Philatelists Odyssey begat Stamp Quest, which begat EFMB, which in turn begat The Lost Tapes Of Albion, and this then gave us The Lost Disks Of Sam.
But enough with the history lesson! What about The Lost Disks Of Sam as a game in its own right? It is certainly very playable, and much prettier than any of its parents. The graphical overhaul has been done with taste, and the sprite work is vibrant throughout (obviously no colour clash here). As a non-SAM Coupé aficionado I am unable to tell if the disks collected have the same punning quality as the Speccy game, but there is none of the textual descriptions that add to the speccy version's humour – instead a rather nice animation plays – but once you've seen it, you've seen it.
An addition to this version is the idea that Moebius upgrades his suit (and it's colour) after completing a stage – and touching a baddy on a stage first knocks away his suit upgrades before completely resetting the level. This is a nice touch, but in a strange aesthetic decision the colour of the suit starts basically black, against a black background. Which means Moebius is initially very hard to see – unless you change the background colour (which can be done from the instruction screen by pressing 'Enter' although this does not appear to be documented anywhere).
Another addition is the notion of difficulty levels. Here some problems start to arise – 'easy' is very easy, with a very simple screen layout and no Attribute Snake or booby-trapped collectables to deal with. As such it is easy, but is also very little fun.
The higher difficulty levels (Hard, Wretched and Insane) add these components back in, and make the platform layouts less easy to navigate (less/inconveniently placed teleport pads between platforms). Unfortunately all of these difficulty levels are much harder than the 'easy' level, and upon playing it feels that the 'normal' sweet spot between 'easy' and 'hard' has not quite been hit here.
Another fly in the ointment is the dreaded Attribute Snake which moves very quickly, and must be avoided. Moebius starts at the top left – as does the snake, but on some stages a snake will arrive on the screen about a second after Moebius does, and without a crystal ball a suit upgrade will be lost. This means that some degree of learning the stage, and knowing how to avoid the first few baddies is required - which robs the game of some of its fun to be honest.
Whilst not perfect, this game shows just how great a SAM Coupé could look. Hopefully BlackJet will take a leaf out of Dave Hughes' book and refine and tweak their game, and it will end up being an essential franchise on the SAM, giving people a reason to play this oft overlooked retro computer. Sadly, at this stage The Lost Disks of Sam lacks the refined playability of the parent games. And it just goes to show - children should respect their elders.
(It's not often that we revisit a review here at RGCD, but in light of Andy's comments BlackJet released a update to The Lost Disks Of Sam that fixes many of the issues he had with the game. As a result of this, he requested the following addition to his write-up).
In above the review I was slightly critical of Lost Disks Of Sam for a number of reasons – my main complaint being that some of the design decisions makes it unfair in places. Well it turns out that BlackJet are a 'customer responsive' developer, and has made a new-improved version addressing these issues. Under a fortnight later we have been presented with version 1.5, a major update hoping to address these very issues.
The main improvements – and I am pleased to say that they are improvements – are giving the player couple of seconds of invulnerability at the start of a level, and making the Attribute Snake a lot fairer, with a red flashing border warning just before it emerges on screen. Coupled with the level progression being tweaked to be a lot more progressive the whole game plays much better.
Other minor improvements come in the form of selecting the base colour for the player at the start (avoiding him being difficult to see on the screen), and being about to skip the cut scene animations by pressing a key.
Overall this is a significant improvement on the original, and well worth the time to reinvestigate. It is no longer just a prettier, yet empty, imitation of its parent - it has grown into a beautiful offspring that has inherited the great qualities that made Lost Tapes so addictive, yet has its own identity.
Andrew Gillen at Blackjet should be applauded for being so alert to player feedback – remarkable on a free product!
Download the game from here (from the BlackJet site).
Run it using SimCoupe (freeware).
Thanks for the review. Very fair and I agree with many of your criticisms. Stay tuned for an EFMB re-implementation of the Lost Disks, coming to a SAM Coupé super-computer soon! (Don't hold your breath though).

With the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN’s) reluctance to amend its foreign exchange restriction for the importation of certain commodities, value-chain operators in the tomato paste industry have warned of the potential collapse of the N19 billion manufacturing industry before the end of second quarter of 2017, if the decision is not reviewed.
According to the operators, the value of imported tomato paste in Nigeria used to be about $170 million before the CBN ban on 41 items, out of which imported triple concentrate tomato paste used as raw material by the packers account for around $50 million.
Recall that an indigenous local tomato paste manufacturer, Erisco Foods Limited, made good its threat of shutting down the $150 million plant and relocating its manufacturing base to a location outside Nigeria last month.
The Chief Executive Officer, Erisco Foods, Chief Eric Umeofia, had announced that the company was winding down operations preparatory for its final exit from the country, citing that he was moving the factory to China, where he already had a thriving business.
He added that from there, he would be manufacturing and exporting tomato paste back to Nigeria, as it was far cheaper doing so than producing locally.
Spokesman of the Union of Tomato Paste Manufacturers in Nigeria, Nnamdi Nnodebe, hinted that the tomato processing industry is in a dire position as unavailability of tomato paste triple concentrate for the industry is grinding production to a halt.
While some operators had urged government to embrace a gradual backward integration agenda to achieve its objectives, Nnodebe noted that the sudden implementation of the forex policy by the apex ban has affected the profile of the industry drastically.
He said: “It makes better economics to import the raw materials that will enable production, grow the economy and keep jobs rather than importing the finished products or frustrating efforts to get the raw materials, thereby rendering millions jobless which might further kill the economy.
Except Mr. James Bond Quick-Fix Emefiele is booted out of office, more factories and industries will definitely shutdown in 2017 and thousands more will loose their jobs. We keep shouting local production without considering the factors of production and the enabling environment to make it happen. How far have we gone with the useless policies introduced since last year? May be 100 steps backwards into recession and things are getting worse. If the PMG govt cannot solve our economic problems let it reset it to pre-2015 status. Simple!
instead of crying so that you can be allowed to import the raw material, why haven’t you guys figure out how to make the necessary raw material needed. everyone want the country to continue to import massive amount of everything, yet we can’t afford it and we are creating jobs in other countries. Nigerian business needs to focus on developing all they need locally instead of importing everything.
