For the first time in his decade old Bollywood career, Rajpal Yadav would be seen in a triple role. This would be for the film HASTEY HASTEY which stars Jimmy Sheirgill, Nisha Rawal and Monishka in lead roles.
Says Nisha, "Rajpal was simply a riot on the sets. Since he was performing three roles, it was three times the fun. The man has such unique mannerisms that they inevitably bring on the smiles. What does he do in a triple role? Well, let me not divulge too much about it. What I can certainly say is that he is an integral part of the film and in company of Jimmy and three Rajpal Yadavs (smiles) I was literally in splits throughout HASTEY HASTEY."
In the current times, apart from Rajpal Yadav even Tulip Joshi would be seen in a triple role in a Punjabi film where Harbhajan Mann is her co-star.
Says Tulip, "I enact the role of two sisters where one is a Banjaran Punjabi while another is an Indian Canadian. This is not all as I also get to play a school girl, who is basically the daughter of the woman settled in Canada."

The cross section was estimated to be a = 4 ± 1 /xb. Additional support for this interpretation is found in a-7-n coincidences, for which 30 events were observed14 (open symbols, Fig. 3c). Finally, d-7 coincidences presenting a peak in the 7-ray energy spectrum, at Ej ~21 MeV, were also observed (Fig. 3e). The relatively low statistics arose from the limited acceptances of the spectrometer for deuterons (Fig. 3f). The predictions for n(p,7)d QFC on a halo neutron present a peak at 19 MeV (Fig. 3e) - the small shift may be attributable to the strong kinematic correlation between the deuteron momentum and the photon energy, as the detection of only a small fraction of the deuterons is predicted 14 .

At FS Securities, we believe that education is the most important component of a trader's success. Whether you are an experienced trader or just a beginner, FS Securities welcomes you with a commitment to profitable trading and superior client/advisor relationships.
The ability to generate income independently is the motivation to becoming a skilled trader. Also, disciplined adherence to risk management principles can ensure traders remain relaxed with the knowledge that their capital is not in peril.
Having learnt the skills required for success in trading, continued application of these skills takes the trader on a journey where experience enhances performance and success.
Undisciplined reaction to emotion is the enemy of consistent superior returns. Avoiding significant losses remains the key to achieving the fundamental objective of a superior return. A loss of 50% on an individual trade requires 100% profit on the next trade to break even and the probability of achieving this is remote. Trading does not offer a "get rich quick" alternative, and natural skill is not something that sets a good trade apart from a poor one. A willingness to learn the fundamental principles of trading and the discipline to recognise when the trade is wrong is vital for success.
The education at FS Securities is a means of teaching and enhancing clients' trading skills. It teaches clients to minimise losses whilst letting the profits run. Clients who learn the skills of trading can earn superior returns. Our educators will pass on their knowledge from the many years of experience they have gained through trading the financial markets.
Onsite and Webinars solution*Available on Sunday night or Wednesday night.
Our fundamental objective is to teach Trading Risk Management, strategic selection of entry and exit points, and wise reward to risk ratios. To be successful in investing or trading you need TED – Tools, Education and Discipline.
Firstly we must have the Tools (timely information and a platform). Secondly we must have an Education to be able to interpret the signals we receive from the Tools. We provide the Tools and the Education. We also help clients to achieve consistent Discipline through portfolio management and use of the "GB8 Mechanical System".

Auckland's secret underground tunnels
Emma Devlin
Few would know that a secret series of tunnels lie beneath the earth under Albert park.
The tunnels were originally planned by Auckland City council and began construction in 1941 during World War 2 with the purpose of providing shelter from any possible air raid attacks. Engineer James Tyler designed the tunnels and structure. Once completed the underground structure was capable of sheltering more than 20,000 civilians.
When World War 2 eventually passed, the extensive tunnels – stretching over 3.4km were never actually utilised and as the following years went by they were more or less forgotten by the public. Due to type of timber beams used in the construction, years of abandonment and no up-keep, the foundation of the tunnels began to rot. The Council arranged for a large portion of the tunnels and former entrances to be filled up and blocked with bricks and material to prevent collapse. This closure of the tunnels was completed in 1946.
Over the last decade, a number of individuals and groups have wanted to get access and reopen the tunnels - all without success. But this year another plan for re-opening the tunnels has been proposed and is even backed by some members of Auckland Council.
The directors of the new plan known as 'The Underline' are Bill Reid; an advocate for the tunnels and Nick Andreef; CEO of Waitomo Adventures Ltd (Waitomo Caves tourism). Together they plan to develop Auckland's underground tunnels into a transport and tourism hotspot whilst also utilising the space as a walkway, which links to Auckland Universities. The creators of 'The Underline' project have made the full concept and plan available to the public and you can also see their posts and plan with the public via their Facebook page.
Considering the ever growing population in Auckland City, usage of the tunnels could help ease the road/pathway congestion, as well as provide the increasing number of students with an alternative way to access university campuses. To achieve this, the underline project plans to re-open the main section of the underground tunnel that stretches from Victoria Street to Beach Rd. By building two sets of large elevators between the tunnel and Princes Street and Symonds St, the structures would then be able to operate as a pedestrian and cycle way. This would then connect the congested areas of the CBD, Parnell and university campuses.
Re-opening Auckland's underground tunnels would be a costly project. From the estimate prepared by tunnelling experts, clearing of the tunnels would cost around $6 million alone. A total cost of the project was estimated to be about $17 to $19 million.
The next phase of making 'The Underline' a reality would be a discussion with interested parties to determine the best funding option plus operating and ownership model. With backing from certain members of Auckland City council and years of perseverance by the creators, 'The Underline' seems to be the most tangible plan that could see this forgotten entity come back to life.

Join us to honor the life and memory of Deacon Chuck, who was instrumental in establishing our Haiti Ministry.
About Haiti For most of its history, Haiti has been plagued by political violence. Haiti's infrastructure is in shambles and has never been efficient or effective. For the most part, government has not worked. Lack of clean, potable water is, and has long been, a very serious problem. Unemployment is rampant. Tourism is nearly nonexistent. There are few roads and most of those are unpaved. Shelter for many people is nothing more than a hovel with a dirt floor. Life expectancy for the average Haitian is a mere 53 years. There is little public schooling—only 20% of school age children can attend public schools. Everyone must pay to attend school or not go to school at all. Only 5% of children complete secondary level schooling because families simply cannot afford to keep their children in school. Lack of nutrition is a reality for most Haitian families. Still, the Haitian people are a proud, joyful and hope-filled people. They are determined to bring about the rebirth of their country.


I was recently chastised by a commenter who pointed out that I'd put the distance of the Dales Way as being 70 miles, whilst displaying the photograph above which said it was 81 miles.
Actually, I can't deny it. I had cocked up big style on the page in question. I'd meant to put 78 miles, but mistakenly put 70. To compound things, when I put in the conversion to kilometres, I'd then put it down as being 135km (or 84 miles) instead of 125.
It was all a bit of a mess, but it reminded me of one of the big problems of the Dales Way. That no one seems to agree on how long it actually is.
Let's do a little tour of the evidence.
But at the other end, a sign at Windermere says the Dales Way is 81 miles.
The web homepage of the Dales Way Association meanwhile says "about 80 miles".
Over at the Long Distance Walkers Association, they say it's "78.1 miles".
Wikipedia? Well Wikipedia's Dales Way page at the time of writing says 84 miles.
Over at The Walking Englishman, he says it's 76 miles.
And finally, for good measure, I plotted the route in Memory Map and got 74 miles.

This post is intended as a shout-out to Jay, to Letterman, to comedy-writing staffs everywhere. Here's the deal: I give you the straight line, culled from a real live news-piece – Women's curling team receives psychological help, reports the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten – and you take it from there. It doesn't have to mean sending me your women's curling jokes (it wouldn't have to be "Danish") by e-mail*; I'd be satisfied just with hearing a good one – just one! – from Leno's monologue, or simply having it come back home here to Papa through the Internets somehow.
This choice of topic is not accidental, although its further elaboration in the Danish press is serendipitous. And to a great extent I am offering my find here in gratitude for some great introductory curling material already enjoyed. I'm referring specifically to Letterman, Wednesday night, February 17, and his material could also be of help in providing some background for those of you who may have no idea what this Olympic sport of "curling" is all about.
In curling, they get a 40 lb. granite stone and send it down the ice and then they sweep the debris from in front of it. It's all the fun of shuffleboard, plus household chores.
They have failed miserably! So far the ladies have played six curling-matches (which apparently pit a team against just one other opponent), and won only one of them.
So yes, one can understand how they could use someone's shoulder to cry on, to get over the disappointment and even humiliation so they can approach their remaining games with a good, stiff upper-lip even as they know that their chances for any sort of winner's medal are now purely theoretical.
But there's more! The article gives the ladies' trainer, Kjell-Arne Olsson (a man's name, I believe), as he reveals to the Ritzau news agency his view of what went wrong. Basically, the Danish lady-curlers always did alright in the first half of a match, but started "missing some decisive stones" in the second half, so that the opponent could usually come back to win. And you also have here a somewhat tougher assessment from the marvelously-named Freddy Frederiksen, the "elite coordinator" of the two Danish curling-teams (men's and women's, natch) there in Vancouver: "We played some very tight games. . . . It's the tight competition that means we can't go any further. They [the ladies] played toe-to-toe with their opponents, but unfortunately were just not good enough." C'mon gentlemen, all that should provide you with more-than-enough of what you need. "Danish curling rocks!" anyone? Dave? Craig? Coco?
On the other hand, from the photo at the top of the article – go ahead, go there now, guys – it does seem that this sport attracts more than its quota of genuine Danish babes. They don't look like any losers to me; they can come cry on my shoulder anytime! (Maybe I need to look into joining my local curling club.) But that's if the picture is genuine, of course; you never know, Jyllands-Posten might just have bought it instead from the "women's curling section" of an on-line photo store like iStockphoto.
* I know, I shut off the comments on this site. But stay tuned! I'm just about to start parallel-posting entries to this blog on the EuroSavant Facebook fan page, so you'll then be able to post your comments, and your curling-jokes, on that fan page's wall!


I spent nearly an hour with a huge crowd watching a man on a strange unicycle, waiting for something really big to happen. There was so much build up going on that it was like watching a bad movie where you feel you have to stick it out to the end. Meanwhile, I realized we were all missing the Olympics. Was this really more interesting?
We decided to leave and never saw the big finish. As we walked around, I started to think about all the things people are doing other than watching the games. Myself included, they are spending hours standing in line. The day before, I spent nearly 3 hours waiting to get into the Atlantic Canada House for their Kitchen Party. It was well worth it and I did make some new friends whom I'll never see again, but it was 3 hours spent waiting, rather than watching.
There were hundreds of people that unicycle night drinking hot chocolate and ice skating at Robson Square. Even more were just sitting on the steps watching dancers perform. There were crowds waiting for balloon animals and my favourite all time non-game watching activity….the rice cracker maker! This machine would twirl around and shoot rice crackers out like fire works.
There were so many people just roaming the streets trying to be a part of the action. As I've had a chance to reflect on this revelation, I've realized that I have watched less of the Olympic games than ever before in my life because I live in the city that is hosting them. I have wanted to be with all the other excited people from Canada and all around the world and that has led me to downtown or surrounding areas where I have been nowhere near a television, but captivated by spirit. I have to admit, that as thrilled as I am for the amount of medals Canada is winning, I am most proud of the fact that I got picked up while filling up with gas the other day and invited out to party with some out of town boys! Of course, as a mom and wife I had to pretend I was unfortunately busy, but knowing you've still got what it takes is worth gold. I do enjoy watching our athletes, but given the chance, I can see how some might pick this alien dance party instead.
My 'watching' was done after hours, with help from the PVR. My days off were spent, like yours, wandering the streets, standing in lines, waiting for 'the big moment' in street performances — lots of people-watching and absorbing the excitement. I wouldn't have traded it for anything — well, maybe an event ticket.

KGB Inteview: Shane Lindemoen
Shane Lindemoen is boldly going in the direction of great Sci-Fi authors before him. Blessed with the talent and the work ethic to create freshly-imagined worlds, time-twisting plots, and fantastical characters that light up the page, and with an award-winning debut novel, Artifact, making sonic waves, the future is bright for this writer, who took time to answer the following questions for KGB.Tell us about your writing life. What got you interested in being a novelist, and what draws you to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre?The biggest draw for me was the escapism. I hit the genre stuff hard in high school, leaning more toward science fiction. I liked how crazy it could be while staying grounded in realism. Like a lot of people, my Rubicon was Star Trek. The writing started because I very much wanted to be a part of subverting all the negative things in life with the positive. I wanted to slink in undetected beneath the paranoia and fear that people have for the future, to slide in under the politics and religion of it all, and do my small part in inspiring goodwill and hope. That's science fiction to me: a way to get people thinking about surviving extinction, and about overcoming so many meaningless differences and obstacles that have held us back for so long. Writing was this platform for sharing a thousand dreams and a thousand ideas in a way that wouldn't trigger any of that hate. It became a way to flank cynicism and catch it off guard. Because maybe, just maybe, I could reach that one kid who's going to grow up fascinated in the things I've written about, and invent a warp drive or something. That's the power of science fiction. That's why it's the most important genre in literature.Congratulations on Artifact and its Gold 2014 National Independent Publisher Book Award. The novel has a complex, futuristic plot, but it also hinges on age-old quests for knowledge and, ultimately, human survival. How did you conceive of this imaginative scenario, and what were the challenges creating something set in the future but with timeless ramifications. Thanks for the good words. Artifact came from a confluence of odd events. I finished re-reading Illium by Dan Simmons for the umpteenth time, and he used a passage from Proust's Search for Lost Time, volume III, The Guarmantes Way, that I couldn't get out of my head: "People of taste tell us that Renoir is a great 18th century painter. But in so saying, they forget the element of Time, and that it took a great deal of time, even at the height of the nineteenth century, for Renoir to be hailed as a great artist. To succeed thus in gaining recognition, the original painter, or the original writer proceeds on the lines of the oculist. The course of treatment they give us by their painting or by their prose is not always pleasant. When it is at an end the practitioner says to us: 'Now look!' And, lo and behold, the world around us (which was not created once and for all, but is created afresh as often as an original artist is born) appears to us entirely different from the old world, but perfectly clear. Women pass in the street, different from those we formerly saw, because they are Renoirs, those Renoirs we persistently refused to see as women. The carriages, too, are Renoirs, and the water, and the sky; we feel tempted to go for a walk in the forest which is identical with the one which when we first saw looked like anything in the world except a forest, like for instance a tapestry of innumerable hues but lacking precisely the hues peculiar to a forest. Such is the new and perishable universe which has just been created. It will last until the next geological catastrophe is precipitated by a new painter or writer of original talent."This was at a time when I noticed an alarming characteristic of my book and movie collection: I had tons of books focusing on the end of the world. Books ranging from Wells and Vonnegut to McCarthy and Orwell, and countless others in between. I have religious texts ranging from various iterations of the Bible. I have the Qur'an, and the Mahabharata, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the Book of Mormon, all prophesizing some kind of an end. I have a whole section of my movie library devoted to zombie fiction. I have movies like Terminator, Children of Men, AI, The Matrix, Mad Max, and Sunshine. It worried me deeply: did this reflect my own taste? Was I that obsessed with the end of civilization, or had I just tapped into some preexisting globalized zeitgeist? Shortly after this, a group of(religious people) began coming to my door once per week to debate, handing out pamphlets depicting the entire planet being consumed by apocalyptic fire, telling me that the end of the world was a certainty, and that the only thing we can do is find god before it all comes crashing down. And I wondered if Proust was right? If we, right now, are creating reality through the expression of our dreams, like Renoir created the culture of his day through his art. If we are indeed these walking reality machines, could we bring about the end of civilization as a result of some massive confirmation bias? Are we pulling visions of the future straight out of our darkest nightmares? Is it possible to then go the opposite direction, and dream a future of light and prosperity and peace? I wanted to answer those concerns with something. Something that would counter it all, or cancel it out. I wasn't sure what that was going to look like, but I knew I wanted it to be positive and hopeful. I can't honestly say that I started the project with those overarching themes in mind, but I was told at some point that art has a tendency of freeing itself from the vision of its creator, and becoming its own thing. I know that writers are by nature the prime-movers of their own, internal universes, but there comes a moment amidst the various plot threads when things can only break one direction, where you lose control of the narrative to the story itself. That's what happened to me by the midway: I lost it, I went "batshit crazy" with it, and by the end I had this monster lying before me packed with a million ideas. At first I worried that I was spreading this story thin, or that I was extending the themes too far, hopelessly trying to fit as many ideas as I could into a single narrative. In the end, I didn't see this as a major problem, because the ultimate goal wasn't in conflict with the method in which the story was told, which was sort of convoluted and choppy by design. I rationalized at the time that the thing I was worried about was probably the same thing the forerunners of the artifact in my story worried about when they created it. So, to me, the aesthetics and the structure and the plot ended up fitting perfectly. It was a strange mess of a narrative, and the reader got to witness this fractured, disjointed story organize itself into a single coherent thought near the end. What's your writing goals moving forward?My next thing is a Sci-Fi story, currently titled Eigengrau, about a crew of astronauts on a rescue mission to Saturn. As they get closer to Saturn everything unravels eerily similar to the events that led up to preceding expedition's disappearance. It's basically about evolution and the singularity, and about humanity's endless war against the unchangeable, deterministic concepts of time, fate, and destiny. So, more genre stuff. Written with homage to all the books and movies I loved as a kid: Humans dropped into extreme situations,all centered round autarchical philosophy and subverted optimism. The structure of Artifact was fractured on purpose, and this time I want to tell a more linear story. But even that linearity only lasts so long. I guess you could say I like writing about the weird gray fringes of epistemology, since the nature of human thought is sort of inherently allover the place. Even though I'm trying to keep things simpler for the reader, I can't seem to break free from wanting to write the kind of stuff that really captures my attention. Possibly to my detriment, I can't seem to not write selfishly. We'll see if it works again. We'll see. . . Shane Lindemoen (with guitar) is an award winning novelist from Minnesota.

A Videovore Score!!
Every now and again, Lunchmeat will receive an awesome email from a voracious Videovore out there who wants to share the joys of their radical video collection or how thrilled they are with their newest score of tapes. I recently received one of these wildly enthusiastic and totally too cool emails from a Videovore by the name of Adolfo and it inspired me to create a new feature on the blog that will feature Videovore's collections, tape hauls and anything else that revolves around the collecting community, so be sure to stay tuned to the blog for more journeys into the wonderful and weird world of the Videovore! But right now, let's check out Adolfo's super-sweet score...
The surrealistic nightmare PAPERHOUSE (LM#3), the rare SCALPEL on Charter Home Entertainment and the WIP flick you've never heard of: STRIKE OF THE TORTURED ANGELS! How awesome is the "Russ's Hot Picks" sticker?!
A curious version of CRIPPLED MASTERS on Ocean Shores Video Limited, the classic Media release of REBEL ROUSERS and the much sought-after ROLLING VENGEANCE on Charter Entertainment!
Jeff Lieberman's total freak out BLUE SUNSHINE, one the many entries in the ZATOICHI martial-arts legacy and the off-beat and totally ridiculous SILENT MADNESS (LM#3)!
LM: So, Adolfo, Where'd you score these chunks o'black gold?! A: At 79th Street Video in Chicago. They used to be a movie rental place with some porn, but now the porn and DVDs took over and they're getting rid of their VHS. LM: Did you get a good deal on 'em?! A: Yeah! A dollar each! LM: That's a killer deal! Was there anything there you wanted to take home, but didn't? A: The Continental Video release of John Waters' 'Desperate Living' was for sale, but the owner placed it with the other big box tapes that were all porn and didn't want to sell it. I also came across a VHS release titled 'I Puke on Your Grave' that features horrible computer artwork and a really misleading description as to what it really is. The description claims that it is "one of the most controversial horror films ever" when it's really just a collection of random horror (and possibly true crime/accident) scenes taken from other movies. It was released by DMN Entertainment. They released various 'Faces of Death' and 'Caught on Tape' type shockumentaries that were a hit with the folks who came in to rent at the last minute before closing at this one video store I worked at. Maybe I was feeling nostalgic? Aren't we all feeling a little nostalgic? Many thanks to Adolfo for sharing his groovy haul! Oh, and Adolofo also runs a radical tumblr site where you can check out all kinds of weird images and strange sounds that'll surely melt your brain (or at least cook it in its own juices). Click the link for a celebration of trashy degradation and weird mutation of the aural and visual variation! http://killedbydreck.com
Keep on diggin', Videovores, and be sure to give us a shout about your newest score(s) and groovy collections! We wanna see 'em!!

President Bush on Friday continued to say that the United States is not forgetting about Latin America and announced an alternative-fuel pact with Brazil to prove it.
Bush played off attacks from Chavez, who is currently his primary South American tormentor. The Venezuelan leader is planning his own tour of the region along with Bush's week long, five-country visit.
President Chavez said he did not come to sabotage Bush or his visit, saying the timing was purely coincidence, even as Bush arrived in Uruguay for his 36 hour stay.
Chavez uses his country's oil wealth to reach out to other Latin Americans and to court other likely leaders.
When asked directly about Chavez's latest threats, Bush refused to say Chavez by name, a common practice of his.
Bush also made sure to note that the total aid provided by America has doubled since he took office to 1.6 billion dollars.
Bush sees Silva as a counter-balance to Chavez for the region.
As a sign of his standing, the president invited Silva to visit Camp David on March 31.
The the main reason of Bush's Brazilian stop, the first before heading on to Uruguay, Colombia, Guatemala then Mexico, was a new ethanol agreement.
The two went in the morning to a large fuel depot for tanker trucks, the backdrop for arguments from Bush and Silva that increasing alternative-fuel use will lead to more jobs, a cleaner environment and greater independence from the whims of the oil market.
In Brazil, nearly eight in 10 cars already run on fuel made from sugar cane.
The agreement, signed Friday morning by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Brazilian counterpart, has the U.S. and Brazil joining forces to promote more ethanol use in nations lying between Brazil and the United States. It also creates new quality standards for the alternative fuel.
But there were clear remaining tensions on a related issue: the 54-cent-a-gallon U.S. tariff on imports of Brazilian ethanol made from sugar, a measure designed to help U.S. corn growers. Ethanol can be made from either crop.
Before Bush's visit, Silva said the duty was unjust and that he would urge Bush to seek to get the U.S. Congress to rescind it.
"It's not going to happen. The law doesn't end until 2009. And the Congress will … look at it when the law ends," Bush commented while at the news conference.
For his region, Silva joked about the stalemate and his inability to alter Bush's psyche.
"This is a process," the Brazilian president added.
Susan Schwab, U.S. Trade Representative, was stayed behind to meet with Brazilian officials Saturday.
In Latin America, Brazil has the largest economy.

The Penguin Discography: Hypnotized
It's the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there's no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized
Now it's not a meaningless question
To ask if they've been and gone
I remember a talk about North
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's ever made that land
Then I think it would've showed
They say there's a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when you're hypnotized
Fan Interpretation »
Hypnotized was written by Robert Welsh in the early 1970�s, reportedly after having a very intense dream while living in a house by the name of Benifold where he resided with rest of the then members of Fleetwood Mac. The song was originally intended for the then front man Dave Walker , upon his leaving Welch rewrote the song for himself with some help from Christine McVie. Other influences for this song were Welch�s extreme interest in the writings of Carlos Castaneda, paranormal experiences, and possibly the use of medicinal plants such as Peyote, which is used in the religious ceremonies of the Navajo Indians of the southwest U.S.
The First verse of the song has to do directly with the dream. The dream it appears was about the landing of a UFO in the large field behind the Benifold house. Dreams are a wonderful and mysterious part of the psyche, "Because there�s no explaining what your imagination can make you see and feel".
The second verse is very mysterious, and seems to deal with another landing of a UFO or possibly an abduction. "Now it�s not a meaningless question to ask if they�ve been and gone." There is a story of three men out fishing in a pond when they were supposedly abducted. This may be the "strange, strange pond" he refers to.
The third and final verse was influenced by the writings of Carlos Castaneda and deals with "Astral Projection" which can theoretically be achieved either through hypnosis or the use of Peyote. "Where a man can fly over mountains and hills/And he don�t need an airplane or some kind of engine/And he never will."
The chorus line ties the whole song together "Seems like a dream/(They) got me hypnotized." This can mean anything anyone wants it to mean, of course the literal interpretation, he is talking about dreaming and how it feels like being hypnotized.
(The interpretations to these lyrics were compiled through discussions on the message boards of the Penguin, The Ledge. It is entirely possible that the artists had something completely different in mind.)

Both Fleetwood Mac and Pointer Sisters do a great job. Very interesting lyrics... makes you stop and think about a lot of happenings. Great for your head shop days.
The strange strange pond
Review written by (madbadrabbit@yahoo.com), May 18th, 2008
might be Lake Drummond, located in the thick of the roadless Great Dismal Swamp on the N. Carolina border. There are numerous reports going back to colonial times of strange beams of light, ghosts, and other paranormal activity.
Been searching for it a long time.
Review written by Anonymous, March 24th, 2006
I played this song on my headphones over and over crossing the ocean from New York to Barcelona in the early '80s. I had just discovered it and it was like walking into another world. Then I forgot about it and then I couldn't remember what it was called or who did it. I was pretty sure it was the Pointer sisters but I couldn't find the song on any of the records or cds that were available anywhere. Then I found it on this site. As the Pointer Sisters would say "I'm So Excited!". Can't wait to hear it again. Did not know it was infuenced by Casteneda who I had done a lot of reading of at that time. This is an under recognized masterpiece.

A dental crown is a relatively simple, and therefore popular restoration, that is used whenever the damage to a tooth is more extensive. A crown completely covers the tooth like a protective "shell" and is usually made of a natural looking and durable ceramic material which very well recreates the anatomy of the tooth. Crowns do require a permanent reduction in the size of the tooth, which means that the tooth involved will always have to be covered by a crown.

Automation systems for corporate processes: for example, detection of the presence of employees for processing payrolls, elimination of annoying sets of keys, automatic access of the corporate fleet, remote opening control, management of the visited areas by means graphometric signature.
Increased safety against potential external attacks by maintenance operators, electricians, external companies and all collaborators frequently accessing the site. A visitor management and recording function is guaranteed.
Incidents can be traced retrospectively for security and statistical purposes with the possibility of questioning the system on the basis of a whole series of parameters (access point, date, time, employee, etc.).
Increased level of safety against potential internal attacks by compartmentalizing internal and external areas and assigning gate access levels according to title, day, time etc.
Support to corporate analysis and strategic decisions: collection and evaluation of data such as working hours, personal details, mails, company departments, cost centres, working hours of external collaborators and consultants etc.
Functions promoting safety: calculation of the number of people in charge of first aid and fire fighting. Control of safety data in the case of access of external teams to any building site.
Multi-platform and DBMS independent systems: the management software must be capable of working with different operating systems as well as with DB systems because the technological infrastructure of customers may be particularly complex and varied.
Scalability. The system offered consists of a modular platform than can be expanded depending on the corporate requirements without any impact on the operation of the existing system. An increase in the number of terminals and users is possible.
Segregation: when companies have different locations it is very important that all the companies belonging to different industrial groups can use the same architecture.
Intelligence distribution: field use of intelligent concentrators and possibility of managing systems distributed over very large geographical areas. Operation is possible also in the absence of a connection with a central server (OFFLINE).
Management of different subjects: the details concerning employees, consultants, vehicles, visitor, external parties may be stored either manually or using third parties' systems.
Management of several technologies (even on the same device). The system makes it possible to use magnetic bands, RFID with 125 Khz, RFID Mifare with 13.56 Mhz, UHF systems (long distance gaps), microwave systems (Telepass), BLE, NFC, Fingerprint biometry, facial biometry, OCR systems for reading registration numbers, QR codes and barcodes.
The system can be connected with third parties' applications. Data exchange between the systems takes place by means of LT, web-services (for example, SAP) etc.
Management of alerts: warnings in the case of unauthorized/attempted access, alarm signals in the case of forced gates, terminal operation diagnostics.
OCR system for reading registration numbers or alternative technologies such as Bluetooth, Telepass, UHF, spire etc. can be used for controlling vehicle access.
Management of visits and visitors by means of new technologies: invitations sent by email, calendar and QR-Code management for "self-access".
Dematerialization: the documentation concerning privacy and safety measures may be viewed without using paper.
Assisted reception work: presence of personnel at the reception desk.
Self-check by means of a Totem: visitors are able to check-in autonomously by means of touch-screens making identification and the distribution of recognition cards possible.
The systems we offer support classic (badge and magnetic) recognition technologies, but make also the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and wearable devices possible in order to access buildings and protected areas.
All this takes place by means of new BLE, QR-Code and NFC technologies and increases profitability as well as the efficiency of modern work forces using mobile devices. Companies are able of managing identification details in a simpler and cheaper manner. The access control using mobile devices can be either complementary to traditional badges and cards or represent an alternative to the latter.
Biometric transponders increase safety for particularly critical areas. External solutions may be integrated into the system (for example, recording of times).
The systems offered make it possible to retrospectively trace incidents and make statistical evaluations with the purpose of improving and optimizing industrial processes thanks to the automated management of visitors. The relevant solutions include graphometric signature and self-reception, the opening of gates by remote control, vehicle access control and safe key collection by means of electronic key hanging boards.
Another very important point is safety and being able to immediately establish the exact number of people present within the Company area in order to guarantee correct evacuation in emergency cases.
The systems offered make it possible to control the transit of vehicles by means of registration number reading systems, UHF electronic toll collection and APP-BLE systems as well as to control pedestrian access. This function applies to all types of persons having access to the site (employees, external companies, visitors).
Every person having access to the site is provided with a personal badge authorized for all access areas or part of them and the control takes place at various levels.
The access control system can also include mechatronic solutions with wireless systems. There is a wide range of high safety battery locks suitable for different applications which make it possible to reduce energy and maintenance costs. ONLINE Interface with the access control system takes place by means of a Gateway Wi-fi. This is the most logical choice for companies of all sizes wishing to update their access control system, but whose doors cannot be electrified.
The systems offered make also the detection of the presence of employees for processing payrolls possible by means of a software for the management of certified access/presence. The system can be used with SAP and/or other management systems.


Hold on. Let go. Which Should We Do?
As we approach the end of the year, it is a perfect time for reflecting on what is working in our lives…and what is not! What to hold onto ….and what to let go of. Importantly, it is helpful to recognise the behavioural habits, attachments to situations or people or our ways of thinking that are causing us suffering. And from here, let them go.

Grab Now Lets Your Kids (Legally) Get On Rides With You, Thanks To A Pint-Sized Booster Seat
M. Shazni
Back in January, an article in The New Paper caused a bit of stir when it was reported that Uber and Grab drivers were refusing pickups with children.
Rightfully, they were just obeying the law – albeit a little known one.
Grab was well aware of this, and have been testing a new initiative called GrabFamily since last year, where they have a selected number of cars which are designed to be family-friendly – these are essentially cars with a booster seat installed for safety reasons, to cater to children four to seven years old.
GrabFamily Is Grab's Answer To Get Kids On Board
Earlier today, we attended a little gathering where Grab formally announced the arrival of GrabFamily after months in beta.
Image Credit: Vulcan Post
Aimed at helping to buckle in children aged 4 to 7 years old, Grab wants their app to be more family inclusive so that parents can bring their children along with a peace of mind.
Putting the safety of children as their utmost priority, while at the same time allowing GrabCar drivers to stay well within the confines of the law, Grab has partnered with Mifold to test this new initiative.
A company who made their name on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, Mifold is a super-compact and foldable child booster seat, and is the brainchild of Jon Sumroy.
This is a product which attracted many high profile investors which included the makers of Candy Crush, and for the past year, has made its way into major cities around the world.
For Grab though, they have chosen Singapore as the first market to roll out GrabFamily in, and to do that, they would need to implement a booster seat system for their drivers for it to even be compliant with the law.
That's where the business partnership with Mifold made sense. Unlike traditional booster seats which take up a lot of cabin space, Mifold's product folds down to the size of a Nintendo Switch.
The end goal is to of course get the Mifold into each and every GrabCar in Singapore, and that would mean a significant amount of money that needs to be invested into GrabFamily.
Image Credit: Grab
Mifold is already on schedule to bring in its products to be sold in retails stores such as Mothercare, and the seat will be priced at $99. For their drivers, Grab will be heavily subsidising this product bringing it down to $30.
So for Grab drivers, they have a choice of whether or not they would like to purchase the booster seat so that they could potentially take on more jobs.
But that's a $69 offset right there.
With some 50,000 vehicles out on the road, Grab's dream of getting it into each and every one of them will easily cost $1.5 million – and that's just for one booster seat.
Ideally, they would like to have more than one in each car to accommodate families with more than one child, and to Grab, that multiplication of cost is one they would gladly take on in the name of child safety in their vehicles.
What's stopping that dream is unfortunately the manufacturing constraints of the seat itself. The high global demand is more than Mifold can produce, it is simply not possible for Grab to get everything at one go.
Still, with more than 1,000 today already equipped on the road, Grab hopes at least that by the middle of 2017, they can multiply that number as much as possible.
How much is this going to cost you?
To hail a GrabFamily ride, it will cost an additional $2 on top of the base fare of $2.50 for a GrabCar Economy ride.
Grab also recommends that parents leave a note to their drivers when making a booking (or through the in-app chat) should there be additional requirements to prevent any unwanted delays, or cancellations.
If you'd like to try this new service with your children, the feature is already live on the Grab app.
Grab is also offering the promo code "FAMILY" to waive off that additional $2.

This is the email that birthed Open Banking Nigeria; just 2 minutes to midnight on June 1, 2017. Sent to those unfortunate to be my friends and so, are subjected to never-ending streams of half-baked ideas and utter madness.
It's a very long read, be warned!
At one time or the other, we all heard about how payments would be the next big deal. We have heard of big data, APIs, yeti, abominable snowman and all the rest. Unfortunately, many ideas, companies, and committees have been long on intentions but short on execution.
All of us in this email thread know what APIs can do and how payments can transform the lives of our customers, the fortunes of our companies and improve trade and transactions in the country.
However, things are not the way they should be: APIs are hard to get; tough to implement and even more difficult to integrate with.
For the average Nigerian bank, many FinTechs are knocking on the door requesting APIs to do basic things such as payments, validating data, collections, etc. Many are developing custom APIs which don't scale to other implementations. Keeping track of who is connected to what is a challenge. Monetization is a difficulty.
For FinTechs, (I suffered this over the last few months), convincing banks to allow connectivity is met with apathy, distrust, and unbearable burden. Each bank comes with custom integration methods and codes. Many banks never allow connectivity, so the world-changing solution dies when the Xth bank joins, two years after.
For risk managers, (you know yourselves!) the new craze of FinTechs, apps, and services is a disaster waiting to happen. The surface area for which a breach can occur expands with every new connection, and nevertheless, the product managers are blaming risk + control managers for being cogs in the wheel of progress.
The CIO that wants to implement a robust ESB solution, which adequately caters for different external applications connecting with core banking solution, is faced with complicated software that is expensive to buy, implement, support and integrate. By the way, nobody else in the industry knows how the software works and so when the smart cookie who runs it resigns, the solution is abandoned after two years of never-ending implementation.
I have faced this problem in almost all the dimensions possible. However, my current experience in FinTech and as an outsider looking into banking has shown me how crippling this is for banks, FinTechs, risk managers, CIOs, etc.
However, my broad experience has also demonstrated that we stand, as a country, at a junction by which this problem can be solved simply, cheaply and everyone would be a winner.
It would be an open-source, non-partisan API standard for banks and other OFIs.
The problems banks and FinTechs currently face also plaguing everyone in Europe, and they consequently came up with EU Government backed PSD2 and industry-led Open Banking.
Ordinarily, it would have been easy to fork their project for Nigerian banks. Unfortunately, their implementation could be expensive, complicated and time-consuming for anyone to implement.
Developing what works for our environment, regulation, our level of technical maturity, etc. may have a greater chance of success than wholesale adoption of international standards.
However, references would be made to international best practices where and when it suits the local objectives.
While the API standard would be open and free for anyone able to contribute, we all know that it has to start with something and with some people. Each of you receiving this email has been previously approached and selected for various reasons and skill set.
A draft document outlining objectives, design, and API definitions would be developed and released for additional inputs. The final document would be robust enough to be presented to the general public for adoption.
Key areas that need help would be for API design, security, scalability and regulatory.
It has been a long email and thanks for reading this far. Questions, comments and other contributions are welcomed.

Our solution is a next generation cryptocurrency trading platform, introducing Dynamic Trading Rights (DTR) to revolutionise the current trading environment by providing a trustworthy, transparent, safe, and reliable place to exchange ERC20 tokens and other cryptocurrencies that are foreseen to evolve in the future.
The cryptocurrency space is growing quickly. The number of cryptocurrencies in existence has grown by 63%, the total market cap has grown by 875%, and the average daily volume has grown by a staggering 3,259% year on year.
Right now, crypto/crypto trading represents 23% of all cryptocurrency trading in the world. We believe this share will grow substantially in the near future as bitcoin becomes a reserve currency of the crypto economy, and most trading will be done between bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
If we exclude all other trading pairs and only focus on bitcoin trading against other cryptocurrencies, the numbers start to support our predictions even more. Looking only at bitcoin volumes, 43% of all trading around the globe is already done against other cryptocurrencies and only 57% is traded against fiat currencies. We believe this trend will only intensify over time, and fiat trading will soon represent less than half of all trading volume.
There is also a clear uptrend in Google searches for the search term "ICO tokens," which points to an increased public interest in token investing and trading.
We will fund the development of our Tokens platform by selling vouchers for all ourfuture trading fees to our ICO backers. Vouchers will be sold in the form of future trading rights and will be represented by an ERC20 token created under the ticker DTR.
DTR tokens will represent a right to make a trade on our Tokens platform on any currency pair listed at any time in the future. The amount of trading you will be able to fund using a single token will be dynamically set, based on the market price of DTR at the moment of the trade. A transaction for a DTR holder will be charged at the best ask price, ignoring the market depth. This favours buying DTR tokens in advance even more.
However, there will be no need to own DTR in advance or even be aware of the fact that transaction fees are payable in DTR, as any client not owning DTR will be charged a fee in the currency they are trading in. Conversion of the fee cost into DTR will be executed automatically and clients owning DTR will have their DTR subtracted from their balance, based on the DTR's market value.
DTR used for trading will be burned on the Ethereum network using a smart contract designed to destroy tokens on a regular basis.
If a client makes a trade without having any DTR, the fee will be charged in a currency they are currently trading with, and converted into DTR tokens in the background.
This process will create a frictionless user experience for users who do not want to deal with our Dynamic Trading Rights tokens. That said, there will be an incentive for our clients to buy our tokens in advance and burn them for trading.
i'm Happy to change my rate if this project have a working alpha.


In November 2018, we shipped a 40ft container over to Sidinda, which was a key fundraising objective for 2018. This shipment is momentous for the region, covering two schools - Sidinda Primary School and Lumbora Secondary, the Sidinda Health Clinic and possibly two further clinics. The potential retail price of the contents of the container is approximately AUD $100,000.00 and will go such a long way in the community. The container was unpacked on 2 February 2019 with great success!
Alison Hull, Malcolm Hull, Liz Richardson, Bruce Richardson and Viv Desmarchelier for their packing efforts.
The Days for Girls program generously donated 400 reusable sanitary kits for the women and children of Sidinda. Sanitary items are virtually inaccessible to remote women and children in Zimbabwe due to their cost. The DFG kits will ensure that women and children are not missing out on education and work. They are a sustainable sanitary option that provide each user with three years of sanitary care. To find out more information, please visit their website.
$2,000: Training of 2 extra ECL staff for Sidinda.
In total, we are fundraising for $50,000 in order to educate over 300 children across the two schools.
We would like to further extend our Bursary Program to more students as the ability of families to afford secondary education is dwindling in the face of the poor economic situation in the country. The cost of the educating a child through Secondary School is approximately USD $130 per annum, which includes uniform, shoes, satchel and text books.
Pictured above are the desks and chairs donated by DIK Rotary and delivered to the Lumbora Secondary School and Sidinda Primary School. These students have not previously had functioning desks and the students look very happy and eager to learn!
Sidinda is a small tribunal community located in rural Zimbabwe. It is dependent on subsistence farming in a ravaged economy with 90% unemployment. The Sidinda Health Clinic was built and completed in December 2012 to accommodate a population of 5,000 community-members. Prior to the construction of the clinic, the community had to walk 25 Kilometers to receive medical support. Alongside the Clinic is the Sidinda Primary School which is responsible for 120 school-children under the supervision of 1 teacher and 2 volunteers. They are the only substantial buildings for the village.
We are the only financial support the Clinic receives currently, with the government failing to pay the Nurse's wage and medical supplies dwindling. Our fundraising efforts concentrate on the promotion of adequate healthcare facilities and we are also turning our attention towards the Sidinda Primary School.
Our aim is to work with local council and established institutions to provide consistent monetary support and to upgrade the minimalist facilities at present. Michelle and Ellen Leishman fundraise through various means, involving the community and aimed at empowering the community and especially the women of Sidinda.
We always welcome donations, as the Clinic requires ongoing medical support. Unfortunately, our website provider only uses Paypal as a medium. Please use the website enquiry function or email us at sidindahealthclinic@gmail.com to request banking details if needed. Follow the link below if you would like to donate.

The Term 1 students are busy fundraising and cycling this term to raise funds under the Break the Cycle program. The current figure is very impressive and is helpful in developing an understanding of how children access education whilst living in poverty. The goal for the students is $3,000.00 for an amazing effort of riding 245.5 km in 4 hours on a hilly technical track. Let's show our support for their initiative and effort!

The word "partner" has been bastardized by this industry. Seemingly, every company is your partner. If my blogs seem somewhat passionate and frustrated at times, it is because of a lack of movement and "realization" of this fact, especially in this HCM consulting industry where we are truly a business partner. See the definition below.
Note the words "action" (i.e. getting your project live on scope, on budget and on time) and "intimate relationship" (i.e. a shared goal of HCM making a difference as to how your business is run). People are your most important (and most expensive) asset. Can you afford anything less than a true partner?
Good leadership involves responsibility to the welfare of the group, which means that some people will get angry at your actions and decisions. It's inevitable if you're honourable. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity: You'll avoid the tough decisions, you'll av oid confronting the people who need to be confronted, and you'll avoid offering differential rewards based on differential performance because some people might get upset. Ironically, by procrastinating on the difficult choices, by trying not to get anyone mad, and by treating everyone equally "nicely" regardless of their contributions, you'll simply ensure that the only people you'll wind up angering are the most creative and productive people in the organization.
"Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world." Small companies and start-ups don't have the time for analytically detached experts. They don't have the money to subsidize lofty elite, either. The president answers the phone and drives the truck when necessary; everyone on the payroll visibly produces and contributes to bottom-line results or they're history. But as companies get bigger, they often forget who "brung them to the dance": things like all-hands involvement, egalitarianism, informality, market intimacy, daring, risk, speed, agility. Policies that emanate from ivory towers often have an adverse impact on the people out in the field who are fighting the wars or bringing in the revenues. Real leaders are vigilant—and combative—in the face of these trends.
"Don't be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard." Learn from the pros, observe them, seek them out as mentors and partners. But remember that even the pros may have leveled out in terms of their learning and skills. Sometimes even the pros can become complacent and lazy. Leadership does not emerge from blind obedience to anyone. Xerox's Barry Rand was right on target when he warned his people that if you have a yes-man working for you, one of you is redundant. Good leadership encourages everyone's evolution.
Aspire is big enough to handle all of your needs, but yet small enough in our scope to ensure that we will be your HCM partner and are mutually invested in your success. We've implemented projects ranging from an 800 employee company all the way to the 19th largest company in the world. Both were completed on time, on scope, and on budget. Not to mention hundreds of companies in between. Times are changing, and you need to really look at your HCM IT decisions. Call me if you want to talk. Complete disagreement is acceptable. We can co-create something better together.
