Pension, investment or both?
Kwadwo Acheampong
Jerry the mouse went out to look for food for himself and his family. Life was tough. In the good old days, it was easy to come by morsels of food in the kitchen larder. One was spoilt for choice. Just like a child in a toffee shop- just too many choices. It was only a matter of selection. It was tough then but the good 'tough' because, sometimes, it was not easy to take time to select what was best, before the great enemy, Tom the cat, came by. When it did, of course there was just one choice- RUN!
Now, it was as if almighty COVID-19 had affected Jerry's sense of smell. Dry! There was nothing to smell. The humans were having a hard time and the hardship had trickled down. Even the mice were losing weight. Tom had been given out because it cost too much to feed. He could only hope and pray that Tom had ended up as a condiment and not a pet, no hard feelings. Meanwhile, life expectancy for Jerry's family had shot up but it was threatened by poor nutrition.
Tough times. It was not getting any better and relocation seemed the only answer. Life was not working out in this home which was slowly becoming akin to a church- no food. A new home had to be found to relive the good life Jerry had tasted before. This was a move to save the destiny of his family.
Life was indeed difficult in this home. Household income was low, markedly lower than the year before and a year before then. It had not always been like that. Income had been high just a few years ago but had been cut sharply. The sole bread-winner had retired and started the life of a pensioner so income had reduced. The lump-sums received from his Tiers 2 and 3 were not very big and were used to defray a few debts that had accumulated over the years.
Now, it was the monthly pension payments they depended on. The pension right for twenty-five years of contribution was almost fifty percent. The pension right was a percentage reflective of the number of years one had contributed to the scheme. It began from 37.5% (2.5% times 15 years) and went up to 60%. Therefore, roughly fifty percent of the average of the best 36 months of salary was paid monthly.
Different Streams
A few tips could have made the difference. Firstly, it is wise to take on debt cautiously. We all borrow. However, we must borrow to generate wealth, not just to spend. It is a good thing to be sure that the borrowed money can be used to generate enough money to pay back and still have extra money made after. Otherwise, debt would just be a rabbit hole. Secondly, avoid expense traps. These are expenses that we commit to and which can restrict money that could have otherwise been used for productive ventures. Once we sign up, it becomes difficult to stop paying because it may be a contractual obligation or it may have moral implications.
Another extremely important exercise to do is to have different income streams. Just as it is important not to put all our eggs in one basket, so is it to diversify sources of your income. There are many avenues to engage in fruitfully without breaking out backs nor falling foul of the law. Many employees close from work and become rideshare drivers for the rest of the evening.
Some get involved in farming and are active farmers- animal husbandry, crops, backyard gardening- during the weekend. Currently, opportunities for investing in farming through crowd-funding are growing, offering avenues for investing for those who may not have the resources to farm directly. There are doctors in Accra who are musicians; when they are not examining patients they are in the studios. And there are investment professionals who run laundries when they are not introducing products and services to prospective clients.
Some IT professionals produce bottled ready-to-drink fruit juices right at home. There are yet many others who offer tuition to pupils and students who need to catch up with their peers. A number of these have low barriers to entry and should be easy to start, offering good opportunities to make considerable contributions to our income without huge amounts of capital expense.
Extra Income to Extra Pension
The extra income these ventures provide can be used to afford a worthy life of pension. We can add to our contributions and ensure there are no breaks if we ever find ourselves between jobs but unemployed. More months of contribution and larger contributions result in worthwhile monthly pension payments. However, is it just about pensions? Would pension payments be enough to ensure we enjoy or life after retirement? Our expenses may not necessarily reduce proportionally as our incomes. What about investing? Would it help bridge the gap between income and expenses? What about both. I mean having an investment with a pension scheme membership?
Pension is like life insurance which would pay an amount to us after a threshold number of years. It ensures that while we are alive, we have a regular income till we pass on. Its importance can, therefore, not be underestimated. Everyone must have a pension to provide a social security net during the time when we don't any more earn something to cater for our needs. However, pension alone may be inadequate for the teeming majority of us. Pension payments are only a fraction of our salaries. To maintain our lifestyles, we would therefore require a bit more, from some form of investment we have made. It helps, therefore, to consider stretching to include investments with our pensions.
The First Consideration
What kind of investment is necessary? Again, it depends on a number of factors: age of investor, disposable income, degree of risk aversion. However, the first consideration should be the steadiness of our earnings. If our earnings are volatile and if there are periods when we struggle to make ends meet, then our investments should be restricted to near-cash, highly liquid ones, to begin with.
The investments should be turned into cash in a very short time. Invariably, such investments return very little but still serve a very important purpose of providing cash in a short time of recall. With time, we may be able to build our investment and gradually drift to introduce a measure of risk to potentially gain higher return.
Investments, therefore, can be a vital addition to our pensions. Additional earnings from 'side hustle' can enable us invest, after basic and essential expenses are taken care off. Then, after retirement, we may still be able to maintain decent lifestyles. Jerry can feel secure about feeding but Tom would become a condiment and would continue to pose a clear and present danger.

Normally this article would be part of the weekly TT report, but we've been given a shed load of data so I thought that I'd offer some analysis for the riders.
Last night was the last of the Westerley CC Wednesday 10s at the Hillingdon Circuit. The races are 11 laps (so actually about 10.35 miles). This year's innovation has been the use of transponder technology which helps count the laps and gives intermediate splits. So now we can tell how even each rider's pace is.
Last night's event was won by Jerone Walters (Sigma Sport) in 21:43 (21:00 equivalent for 10mls). Our own Peter Dixon was second with 23:18 (22:32). Other Willesden rides were Tom London 25:31 (24:41), Lance Woodman 27:18 (26:25), Bea Geraghty with a PB of 30:43 (29:43) and Balneet Dhiraj, also with a PB, 31:05 (30:04).
Balneet probably rode 20 laps before she decided that she might just have completed the distance!
The summary table below shows fastest, slowest, difference and average (mean) lap times together with the standard deviation from the mean. The lower the standard deviation, the smoother the pacing – something to aim for in time trialling.


I can provide online tutoring to those students who find it difficult to attend in person. I use Skype which has a screenshare option - students can see the working of a solution in real time as I write.
While not as efficient as attending in person, students who have been tutored this way have found it quite acceptable, either for a couple of sessions or on a continuing basis over a longer time frame.

Sometimes, it doesn't take very long to create something brilliant. When producer Robert Evans rejected Phillip Lambro's original score for Chinatown, Jerry Goldsmith was hired to create another, from scratch, in just 10 days.
To say he rose to the challenge is an understatement. Goldsmith, a 20 year veteran of the TV and movie industry with credits including Dr Kildare, Planet Of The Apes and even The Waltons theme, turned in a work that was both a career peak for him and the saviour of Roman Polanski's masterpiece of neo-noir.
What was clever about it? It wasn't quite straight jazz, it wasn't quite classical. It was identifiably a movie soundtrack, but an unusual one at that, leaning heavily on Uan Rasey's mournful trumpet solos, sparingly using pianos, harps, strings and percussion, and employing sounds and crashes as overtures. It doesn't try to speak to the film's 1930s setting so much as to the mood and feel of the movie, a piece about political and moral corruption in a water-starved LA featuring Jack Nicholson at the absolute top of his game.
Originally released as a soundtrack in 1974, and long out of print, Cinewax's reissue is remastered from the original tapes and is presented with brand new artwork by acclaimed illustrator and painter Sterling Hundley, with layout by Jay Shaw. Drop the needle and hear why Chinatown is, reportedly, David Lynch's favorite soundtrack. Goldsmith was right about emotions.

Tiffany Ciely (* 10. Mai 1987 in Brüssel, eigentlich Tiffany Baworowski) ist eine belgische Sängerin.

Biografie
Seit ihrem zehnten Lebensjahr ist die junge Sängerin, die neben ihrer Muttersprache Französisch auch noch fließend Englisch, Niederländisch und Deutsch spricht, im Theater, in Musicals und in Filmen zu sehen. Mit zwölf begann sie, Lieder (sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Französisch) zu schreiben.

Im Jahr 2003 begann eine Kooperation mit François Leboutte. Seit 2004 ist sie als Sängerin tätig. Sie nahm drei Titel auf: "Ton ombre qui court", "I die" und "Lost paradize", von dem auch eine französischsprachige Version existiert. Sie heißt "Le Paradise perdu".

Diesen Titel sendete sie beim wallonischen Fernsehen RTBF ein, der einen Aufruf für Beiträge zum Eurovision Song Contest 2005 gestartet hatte. Zuerst sollte eine interne Jury den Kandidaten entscheiden, doch diese blieb sich uneinig, sodass RTBF ein nationales Finale veranstaltete. Neben "Le Paradise perdu", das sie in einer sprachlich gemixten Version unter dem englischen Titel "Lost paradize" vorstellte, konkurrierte auch der Titel "Le grand Soir" von Nuno Resende um das Ticket nach Kiew. Am Ende gewann "Le grand Soir" mit 100 Votingstimmen Vorsprung auf "Lost paradize", sodass Nuno Resende zum Eurovision Song Contest fuhr.

In den Charts erreichte Lost paradize dagegen Platz 10, während Le grand Soir nur Platz 23 belegte.

Am 17. Februar 2006 gab die Sängerin ihr erstes Konzert, zwei Monate danach erschien eine DVD davon – "Tiffany Ciely en concert"

Ivanka misspells United Kingdom in Boris Johnson congratulations tweet
By Rachel Elbaum with NBC News World News • Updated: 23/07/2019

LONDON — As soon as it was announced that Boris Johnson would be the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, messages of congratulations poured in from notable officials from around the world.
But one tweet really stuck out.
"Congratulations @BorisJohnson on becoming the next Prime Minister of the United Kingston," tweeted Ivanka Trump, misspelling Kingdom as Kingston.
Ivanka Trump congratulated Boris Johnson\'s selection as the next prime minister but misspelled United Kingdom.Ivanka Trump
Not long after, the tweet was taken down and replaced with one bearing the correct spelling.
The gaffe drew laughs on Twitter, where Britons were quick to point out her mistake. Kingston is the capital of Jamaica, and Kingston upon Thames is leafy area southwest of London.
"There was a fleeting hope that last few weeks had all been a misunderstanding & Johnson had been a candidate for a hitherto obscure municipal post in SW London," tweetedthe Guardian newspaper's diplomatic editor Patrick Wintour.
Ivanka Trump's father, President Donald Trump, often includes spelling mistakes, errant capitalizations and typos in his tweets.
She also posted on Instagram a photo of Johnson and her standing together with the message of congratulations and the U.K. flag in the background.
Ivanka Trump, who is a senior adviser to her father, has taken an increasingly visible role in his administration.
She accompanied him on his recent trip to Asia and the G-20 summit, where she met world leaders, including North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Johnson's was selected on Tuesday as leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore prime minister, in an election in which only the 160,000 members of the party could take part.
He will assume the role on Wednesday after his predecessor, Theresa May, formally resigns.

New Openings: Andaz Xiamen
By Contributor - September 10, 2020

Touted as one of China's most livable cities, Xiamen draws domestic travelers for its coastal scenery and 19th-century architecture. This week marked the debut of the Andaz Xiamen, the brand's second hotel in China (after Shanghai's Andaz Xintiandi), at The MixC, a downtown development a short drive from the Xiamen Botanical Garden.
The property has eye-catching interiors by JID—the firm founded by the late and great Indonesian designer Jaya Ibrahim, who worked on a slew of notable high-end resorts throughout Asia and around the world. JID conceived the hotel as a modern mansion that celebrates Xiamen's reputation as a "garden city" and its cultural ties to Southeast Asia. Waves of emigration from Fujian Province over the past few centuries saw local men boarding ships to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore to seek their fortunes abroad. Some who returned built villas influenced by their experiences living in colonial-era Southeast Asia, creating a tropical East-meets-West aesthetic locally termed the Nanyang ("Southern Seas") style.
Andaz Xiamen's 284 rooms and 20 suites present a contemporary take on the Nanyang style with high ceilings and classic fittings using natural materials and textures: think rattan-backed armchairs, woven bamboo wall paneling, and timber louvers. The same design language is evident throughout the hotel's communal spaces, where graphic tiling and carpeting also play up the Nanyang feel. Most of the specially commissioned artwork on the property depicts tropical flora and fauna, and all were created by artists either from Xiamen or those with a strong connection to the city. And as expected of an Andaz property, staff members choose their own clothes from a ready-to-wear collection by the locally born designer Wan Yifang, instead of wearing a standard hotel uniform.

Downstairs, the hotel operates four drinking and dining venues. One of these is Andaz Lounge, a skylighted, plant-adorned space where guests enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and snacks throughout the day. Free-flow wine, beer, and locally inspired canapés are served every evening, while the menu at Andaz Lounge also offers snacks and light bites for afternoon tea. Meanwhile, chefs at No. 101 Chinese Restaurant, the hotel's all-day eatery, prepare Minnan and Chaoshan specialties with a modern twist. The venue shares an outdoor terrace with More Than Wine, whose design recalls the ocean-faring culture of Xiamen through a central bar tiled to look like fish scales. Bartenders here put a local spin on classic tiki cocktails, and the drinks selection includes curated wines, craft beer, and artisanal spirits. Housed in a glass structure at The MixC mall just a few steps away, Sugar Pavilion is a European café and bar that serves contemporary Italian fare by Andaz Xiamen's executive chef Alessandro Martinelli.
Other facilities range from a heated 25-meter outdoor pool and a second-floor gym (with an attached yoga room) to nearly 2,000 square meters of event space. The latter is split across seven venues, including the Pool House with a show kitchen and the 900-square-meter ballroom, which has 9.5-meter ceilings, nautical-style chandeliers, and bougainvillea-inspired carpeting and wall paneling.

Q: 16 separate lines via USB So let me start apologizing if the question doesn't make any sense at all, I'm a total noob and I haven't quite grasped most of the concepts yet.
I have designed this small visual indicator, which roughly consists of two 595 shift registers driving a bunch of LEDs arranged in rows. So the 595 outputs are set to whatever the row must display, and then the row goes LOW allowing the flow of current and turning on said row. It then goes HIGH again, shift register is set for the next row, and so forth. Basic multiplexing (isn't it?), definitely not reinventing the wheel here.
Well, what I'd like to do is break down the design in modules, so that each row is optional and stackable. In theory this should be nothing impossible to do, but I'm stuck trying to figure out the connection between each module.
Enough with the explaination anyway, if anything I'm making things less clear. A schematic is worth a thousand words, so here it is.

The one above is a raw sketch of what I have now. Below is where I'd be going expanding it:

As you can see, my current interpretation forces me to have a 16-pin connector on each expansion module, which honestly I'd love to avoid.
So here finally is the initial question: is it possible to connect new modules via USB, or the limited number of wires simply doesn't allow it without extra ICs? Because well, honestly, despite the rather ridiculous price, I'm NOT going to add any 595 on the expansion modules.
A small but appreciated extra, in case my idea is unfeasible, would be a pointer to anyone manufacturing small connectors (PCB headers just won't do) that I could use in the project. (googling didn't help much in this case, I probably don't have the right keyword)
NB: as you can see the board would be replaced by an ATTiny, it shouldn't make any difference but still I thought it might have been useful to see the whole picture here. There's also a couple other points I haven't quite figured out yet, not to mention parts omitted from the schematics. Again, this is a very rough skecth of what I have and I'm including it only for completeness sake.
Looking forward your point on this.
(extra: this question was originally and mistakenly posted on StackOverflow, I'm now moving it here hoping to find more interest in it)
EDIT: as far as I can tell from the answers received, bottom line here is that it just can't be done unless I'm packing up each module with extra ICs. at this point, question naturally becomes 'what connector+socket pair would you suggest?' I had in mind something similar to Apple's Lightning connector, which indeed isn't a viable option due to its cost (can't find it below 5€ which is crazy imo).

A: Have you considered making putting a 595 on each board and feeding through the three control signals instead of the 8 data lines? In this setup you would essentially have each shift register in parallel so that each one loads the same data. Yes it is duplication of hardware, but it does reduce the cable count to only 3.
You then have another shift register for row select. You could do this one by using discrete registers instead of a 595 ICs. Each board would have two registers. The first has a data input from the previous board and its output goes to the next - this then forms a shift register through each board. The second register acts as a latch for the row signal so that it doesn't change while you are loading the data.
This would reduce the number of cables you require between boards to only 4 + power. Plus it allows the number of modules to be increased pretty much indefinitely (limited by how long you have to load the data).
Here is a diagram of what I am proposing:

Another option to the design would be to split out the MCU part and have just one design for expansion modules that can then be connected to any MCU:

The jumper on the expansion board selects whether the data for the row select comes from the output of the 595 (i.e. on the first board), or from the row select of the previous board (i.e. on all subsequent boards).
This could actually then allow you to have multiple displays showing the same thing - after say 8 boards, you could connect a 9th board which uses the 595 output again to restart the sequence.
I am of course assuming from your original diagram that you are feeding in the row select data from the output of the 595. If this is not the case then you can omit the jumper and use the MCU to control the RDAT signal (marked as optional).

A: AFAICT, all you need to move to each module is data. This can be moved serially.
Edit:
There is absolutely no need to use a 16 way connector.
It may even be cheaper overall to use a small connector (5 wire) and electronics to move the data, than use a 16 way connector.
You are already using 595 shift registers. They use three signals: data, clock and enable. This is a subset of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), which is a synchronous protocol, and quite fast over a few 10's of centimetres.
You can actually buy LED driver chips which implement the same SPI-like interface as a 595.
For example TI make a lot of LED drivers, but one I found is TLC59025 which will drive 16 LEDs; it is a constant current source, so there is no need for resistors on each LED.
MAXIM Integrated's MAX7219 is also driven by 'SPI' (data, clock and enable). It can drive an 8x8 matrix of LEDs, handling the row select and column drive itself.
Using SPI, each connector would only need three signals plus, at least, ground and if not too many modules, power.
MAX7219 modules including 8x8 LEDs are 'cheap as chips' on shopping sites. You can buy them as 'DIY kits' if you want to discard their PCB, and they are even cheaper.
You wouldn't need any more processing than these types of chips, though the main microcontroller does need to know how many units it needs to drive so that it sends the correct number of bits of data.
Their are lots of PCB connectors which would work.
You only need three signal pins and ground, plus power. Their are PCB connectors which are 'polarised' (can only be plugged in the correct way), and have 'locking, to resist being shaken apart.
Examples include JST, Molex, also 3M, Harting, Hirose and TE. There are many more. Go to a large electronics distributer, like Farnell, Digikey, Miouser, or RS and look for "PCB connectors".
EDIT:
For example Farnell's PCB Connectors or RS PCB Connectors
Put one MAX7219 on each 'module'. It can drive upto 8x8 LEDs.
Connect the MCU to each module using a 5 wire 'SPI' (data, clock, enable) and power.
Connect each 'module' together using the same 5 wire 'SPI'.
Job done.
Further, you can buy modules off the shelf for about $1 per module.
If you really want to use a connector for every signal, look at the distributers and their PCB connector selection. Low-power connectors come in 0.5mm pitch, dual row, so a 20 pin connector (a common, and easy to find size) would be under 8mm wide.
A 74xx595 can only sink or source a few 10's of mA, so a low power connector should be enough.

Collecting art and antiques, as well as dealing in them, requires a special interest and an eye for the unique qualities that make the collection – or the individual piece – valuable. This ability is inextricably linked to the appreciation of fine art. Your knowledge and experience shapes what you value, and in turn what creates value in art. As a collector, you know and understand this.
Now, does your insurer consider a 105 year-old Kashan rug to be similar in kind and quality as an "oriental" rug found in a modern home goods store? Does your insurer value an early American painted chest the same way an auction bidder would? Does your insurer understand that the value of an 18th century painting is considerably more that the cost of buying a framed print at a discount department store?
More important than these rhetorical questions is the contract behind the protection you purchase from your insurer. The contract will determine how the insurer must value the item or collection at the time of loss. Most homeowners and business owners policies do not adequately value art and antiques. To be sure that you will not be surprised at a time of loss, ask your insurer about the valuation method that will be used when settling any potential claims. Or, request a quote from us.

The ghost of accounting Christmas yet to come
istock_Dave Rheaume Artist
Richard Sergeant
Principle Point
Born Dull?!
Richard Sergeant concludes his Dickensian tale with a visit from the third accounting spirit who shows scenes of robots and AI. Will accountants pledge to change their tech ways?
As the fog clears, the ghost of accounting Christmas yet to come takes us on a journey into the unknown.
"I fear you more than any spectre I have seen – more than Making Tax Digital or blockchain. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart."
But what will the accounting apparition be showing us?
Is it a scene of a bleak robot winter, where it is not just accounting firms that are shut (and indeed not just for Christmas)?
Or will we peer through the frosted windows to a more homely domestic scene, cosying up to the fire with our favourite AI assistant, and working tirelessly to speak of only the most important things impacting a client's business?
What is for sure is that the world looks familiar but somehow different.

The accountant's Christmas Carol
The ghost of accountant's Christmas past
Ghost of accounting Christmas present
View full content series
On the Christmas table sits a large fat vegan alternative turkey, cooked to perfection. It's a happy scene of bustling activity, as the business family prepare dinner safe in the knowledge that their year-end accounts will be sorted as soon as the final cracker is pulled.
But if the robots hold no fear for business owners of the future then, but what about the profession?
The firm owners of the future speak
Those accountants lucky to be working around the Christmas period may be sunning themselves in warmer climates, as Chloe Watson, currently working towards qualification with PJCO Accountants, believes: "My world will be completely different. ACCA is opening up more doors and the world of work is global. I can see myself travelling the world, in a working capacity, meeting new people, continuing to learn about different cultures and how I, and accountancy, can help them."
By 2030, the shape and dynamic of the accounting profession seems potentially very different, as the impact of the retirement of many a partner has gifted the opportunity for a new generation to take over the practice, but will they do so? Or will they, in fact, be starting up their own practices instead, creating new models and ways of working thanks to the fruition of the fintech revolution, digital tax regime, and real-time data inspection?
"As long as you have all the tools in place, you can serve clients in the best way possible and that can mean operating and communicating in very different ways. Not fragmented but networked - staff and clients," continued Watson.
The great skills shortage may have tipped many firms into abandoning the idea of the generalist in favour of teams of specialists.
According to Soaring Falcon's Jake Mizen, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. "Accountants will need very different skills and tools to handle the very different types of businesses that will be around. Firms will even need people internally to create and develop specific applications just for them to use."
Interestingly technology has becomes part of the USP again, but only the old-timers reminisce about 'cloud'.
"Brand will be very important. You will have to stand out in some kind of way, and develop your reputation. Advertising what makes you unique, developing your own tech, as well as how you use what everyone else does better and more effectively. This will part of developing your brand," added Mizan.
But as we stare through the window there is one chair that is empty...
Whose name is upon the stone?
The ghost drifts towards the graveyard and pauses, pointing a long bony finger towards a tomb in the distance, but which name will be engraved upon it?
Is it Xero? Perhaps, swallowed up by a larger technology company? Or Sage, having never quite made the transition to the cloud work for everyone? Or maybe Receipt Bank, laid to rest quietly by the logical conclusion of Open Banking?
And to one side another stone, more ornate than the others, carved with many names – maybe of those that fought the rising tide of changes, or perhaps those that embraced the world of cloud too much and became lost in the fog along the way?
Or maybe it is of AccountingWEB itself, dear reader. The names inscribed with those who would police the comments and Any Answers sections in days gone by, replaced now with an artificial intelligence greater than can be contained on a mere website.
But as Scrooge McAccountant leaps from her bed and realises it is still the present, the haunting ghost of accountant Christmas future stirs her into action.
Flinging open the window she excitedly shouts to a passing child below: "Is that vegan goose still in the window of the health food shop?"
The curtain closes once more.

I am not a number ... I am a free man!
There have been many dreamers who desperately seek a better life and believe technology is the only way to achieve this. This is the just way of dreamers, of course, and not the way of normal folks who have to deal with the realities of life, often battling against the additional problems that technology has thrown at them.
Dreamers cannot understand why anyone would not want to embrace all the latest ideas.
Why, for example, do the majority of people buy manual shift cars when automatic cars are significantly easier to drive. The reason is that people LIKE to drive manual gearbox cars, as it gives them a challenge.
The same will apply to self-drive cars. What fun is there in just sitting in a car and watching it drive you when you could take the challenge and drive it yourself.
We can already see every day the life-draining effects of addictive technology as zombies walk around with heads buried in mobile devices. I have no idea what they are doing, but I believe that one day many of them will realise that there is a real world out there. I cannot believe that anyone would want to live their whole lives just looking at a screen.
Electronic communications are, of course, doomed to eventual failure as hackers, viruses and all manner of attackers and manipulators reduce all electronic data to a meaningless mass of unintelligible bits.
Even the Martians were defeated in their attack on the World by the smallest of bacteria much in the same way that Gatwick Airport was bought to a standstill by a tiny drone.
Technology is fine but it has to be used as a tool and not allowed to become our master or something we become to rely on. So beware of the hype, and keep a grip on reality.

Next Post ¡Ay Dios Mío, es Cinco de Mayo!
I am dying to try the Veg-Veeta!!!
Oh wow! Those brownies look deadly.
Well, how can we resist anything described as "OMG, these are freaking good?" Those brownies really do look fabulous. I have a tried and true "go to" vegan chocolate brownie recipe but I've bookmarked yours for next time. I think the cashew layer is especially brilliant.
I love Dreena! Her sweet potato chili is one of my favourite winter meals.
Oh my … I have not yet "met" Dreena Burton or her recipes!! But this post has me drooling, and I definitely plan to rectify this!! Your opening photo of Falafel Patties and Smoky Spiced Tahini Sauce will definitely be the first thing I try if I'm picked!!
I want to try those brownies!!
I make Dreena's "Supercharge Me" cookies and eat them for breakfast all week. Delicious!
Ooh those brownies look like they'd be a new favourite!
Those cream cheese brownies!!! Oh my! I must make those!
Holy cow those brownies look amazing!!! I've never tried anything like that "cream cheese", it sounds very delicious. I'm excited to try it out!!
My mom recently moved to a vegan diet – I'd love to try one of these recipes for her.
Dreena's maple-pecan blondies from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan are to die for, but these brownies might give them a run for their money!
Oh wow, those brownies look amazing! If I had all of the ingredients, I'd drop everything and make them right now.
Those brownies! I've just been introduced to Dreena, but am looking forward to enjoying her recipes!!!
Pan-Fried Falafel Patties look delicious, a homemade version would be very flavourful and delicious.
I tried her Jerk Chickpeas a few days ago. Wow, just wow. I just printed a copy of these brownies and will be making them this weekend. I hope I win this cookbook, I want to try everything.
My favorite Dreena recipe is her Kids hummus recipe from ED&bv. I love her cookbooks because I feel she knows what it's like to be a Mom who needs to get a meal on the table ASAP. Her recipes are quick, tasty and kid friendly! I am not sure I can wait til May 9th to order this, lol!
Unlike everyone who has already commented, I've never tried any of Dreena Burton's recipes for the simple reason that I don't have any of her cookbooks YET! I've already put Let Them Eat Vegan onto my online shopping list, to buy as soon as finances permit.
I haven't made any of her recipes yet but they ALL look delicious! I will make the Jerk Chickpeas first.
how exciting that 2 of my favorite food bloggers got to work together! lucky you! i haven't yet tried any of dreena's recipes (i know…..) and relly can't decide where to start! but since i'm a sweet kind of person – those 'cream cheese' brownies sure look delish!
The Cream Cheese Brownies look amazing! I need to try this recipe and I need to add Dreena Burton's cookbook, Let Them Eat Vegan, to my collection!
Just made the No-Fu Lentil Loaf and it was delicious!
I was eyeing up the picture of those brownies on Dreena's facebook page just a couple of days ago so I'm so excited to see the recipe here! I read through the new book's index and it all sounds great, what a privilege to be a tester and photographer.
There are a lot of good things to choose from – the falafel patties would be a first choice.
Her cookie recipes are all delicious – and with wholesome ingredients!
Hmmm, I think I would want to try the blueberry oat bars first, I'm a sucker for both blueberry and oats! Thanks for the chance to win!
The spinach-herb-pistachio pesto sounds amazing!!!
I'd love to get this book. My favorite Dreena recipe is her chocolate chip cookies.
Those falafel patties look beautiful. I would love to try them!
I would really love to try those brownies! They look delicious. I just discovered Dreena Burton and I can't wait to try her recipes!
Hannah, I'm *so* glad you posted this! Dreena is one of the greatest, and my book hasn't arrived yet – so I've been desperate to try these! Yum!
Love both of your cookbooks, Vegan Express (Nava) and The Everyday Vegan (Dreena) are household standbys! I love Dreena's mushroom phyllo pie as it makes a beauitful festive meal for those special occasion dinners where vegans otherwise feel left out. So tasty!
her chickpea ratatouille is my absolute fave!!
I just purchased my first Dreena book, and I've only made one recipe – Lemon Poppy Seed Crackle cookies. They're delightful!
the sniffle soup from DE&B vegan is a go-to soup stop for me!!!
I love her recipe for chocolate chip cookies. This brownie recipe looks totally top notch!
I haven't had a chance to try any of her recipes yet but now I can! I'm off to make those brownies right now. They look absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I've been hearing so many good things about this book lately that I NEED it! (and about the excellent photos, might i add :P) I really want those falafel. Like…now.
fresh blueberry oat squares? yum!
I love many (most?) of Dreena's recipes but I always find myself going back to her salad dressings, particularly the lemon zinger vinaigrette.
I love all of Dreena's hummus recipes and her Quinoa Chickpea Confetti Casserole! I have been looking forward to this new book!!
I do love those brownies…they are easy to prepare, low in sugar and oil and so decadent tasting!! I've made lots of recipes so far from here and have honestly loved everything I've made. This cookbook has been on my counter for the past 2 months, I use it every day and don't see it going on the book shelf anytime soon.
Oh my goodness! Those brownies sound wondrous! My current favorite recipe is the Banana Oat Bundles from Viva le Vegan. They come together quickly and make a great breakfast when paired with a green smoothie or snack while out running errands.
I like to make Fudgy Brownies from Vive le Vegan. Non vegans are always surprised that vegan brownies are just as good as (probably better than) non-vegan ones. I'll be trying these cream cheese brownies on the non vegans next!
Can't believe I haven't come across her before! I would love to try the middle eastern feast! All the recipes sound so goood and are very in line with how I want to cook for my family. Thank you!!
Sounds like a fantastic book, and the fact that we can see some of your beautiful photos to illustrate Dreena's wonderful recipes really is the gilding of the lily! The brownies look amazing, but I'd also like to try her Quinoa Nicoise Salad…thanks for the giveaway, my dear!
the peanut butter chai ice cream is a dream! These brownies look amazing too!
The falafels and the sandwiches both look amazing! Wow!
unfortunately i do not have any of her cookbooks so i don't have a favorite but those falafels look delicious …..
oh goodie!! It's HERE! I love Dreena's books so much. I use them all – but I must confess, I *especially* love her cookie recipes. They are pretty much the only cookies I ever make. She is a cookie genius. Congrats on beautiful pictures, Hannah – they look amazing!!
I love Dreena's soup recipes. My favorite may be her chickpea wild rice soup in Eat, Drink & Be Vegan…but every one I've made is fantastic.
As the temperature slowly climbs to the triple digits :) so does my need to consume a wide array of frosty sugary treats. I already have plans to try Hannah's Caramel-Cinnamon Ice Cream with Black Gingerbread Chunks, but I would also love to try Dreena's Macadamia Ice Cream as well as her Strawberries n' Cream Ice Cream. I will also admit I've been counting down to Hannah's Vegan A La Mode release. Can't wait!
I'm ashamed to say I haven't tried any of Ms. Burton's recipes, but I've seen so many blogs reviewing the cookbook that I'm absolutely dying to get it and cook my way through the whole thing! I'm at home sick today, with very little appetite, but those photos (especially the brownies) actually made my mouth water a little!
Am a 21 year vegetarian this May and am seriously considering going vegan. This cookbook – and the vegan blogs I'm now exploring – are a great starting place.
That cheesy white bean and chickpea soup looks mighty tasty! This cookbook looks awesome!
I'm super excited to grab a copy this cook book … it all looks so tasty!
Oh yum! Will definitely be making these brownies this weekend, and Three's Company Pie is up after that! I hadn't been familiar with Dreena's recipes before, so even if I don't get lucky, I'll be grabbing one of her books in the future. Thanks!
Beautiful photos! I don't have any of Dreena's books. I'd really like to try making falafel at home (my friend and I are falafel freaks!), and the ones you photographed look fun!
All of Dreena's recipes I've tried were great! The most recent one I've made was her gluten-free chocolate chips cookies – they were delightful!
That tempeh sandwich looks amazing; it seems to be the perfect thing to pack when I know I'll be out and about without access to satisfying vegan options… And those brownies – yum! Thank you for sharing the recipe, and for offering us a chance at winning a copy of the book.
i'm looking forward to making the falafel right away! have made several things from her other books, hard to pick a favourite..
I was on her blog the other day and realized this was coming out soon! I'm strapped for cash until the end of the summer- but I'd love to be able to start cooking from it sooner!
I would love to try those brownies, they look delectable!
I love the hide the lentils tomato sauce and the sweet and sour chipotle tempeh with sweet potatoes, both from eat, drink and be vegan. That Quinoa Taboulleh sounds delicious though!
I would love to try all her salad recipes..
I am a HUGE fan of Dreena's (EVERYTHING I've made from her has been A-MAZING), and I'm SO excited to see her new book and drool over all the delectable creations she has dreamt up for us!
Roasted Winter Squash RIngs – amazing!
These brownies look awesome! How long do the cashews soak?
Thai chickpea almond curry sounds very interesting.
I love her white bean hummus from her website.
Those brownies look incredible! I love that there's no fake cream cheese in them. I definitely have to try these sometime. I just saw this book reviewed on another blog; I may have to check out a copy! There are sooooo many vegan cookbooks out there that it's hard to know which are worthwhile; this one definitely looks like it is.
I love her recipes and would love to have her new book.
There's some many to choose from – but probably something from the one-pot meals (since I do tire of doing dishes). The braised tempeh with lemon, thyme and capers sound like an instant favorite…every part of that sounds tasty!
Oh my, all those sauces look amazing! I like to keep a couple sauces in my fridge at all times to facilitate quick/tasty post-commute dinners. I would definitely try my hand at the Pumpkin Seed Chipotle Cream and the Spinach Cashew Pizza Cheese Spread (srsly?! sounds so good).
I can't wait to get my hands on one of these, from what you've said over the last few weeks it sounds amazing! I've been put on a cookbook buying hiatus, apparently I've been buying too many of late, ha!
I have been experimenting for a while trying to find the perfect falafel and tahini sauce combo, so that would be at the top of my list to try from this one!!
This is delish! Thanks much for posting! Go vegan!
Vegveeta is for sure my favorite!
I love Dreena's chocolate chip cookies.

I was moved by his report. Having once been a "gay Christian" I deeply resonate with his position, the fear he expresses and the dismay of his circumstances. I wondered what he would say to my story of freedom from homosexuality.
Most likely he would look at any fight or struggle for freedom by a lesbian with pity saying, "why not rather accept and love yourself? Eventually, you will be forced to return to the truth of who you are, a lesbian." LGBT Christians see this passion for freedom as ridiculous—a painful and unnecessary waste, that actually suppresses the beautiful truth of who one is. They might see my current heterosexuality as a distortion of my true self.
By suggesting freedom is available am I encouraging the same "spiritual abuse" that led him to leave InterVarsity?
But why not expect change as part of the Christian experience? The fruit of "regeneration," the theological term for the new life gained through faith in Christ, is transformation. Every ungodly mindset (behavior) begins to be purged as the Holy Spirit leads us into the promise of Romans 8—the fullness of our identity as sons and daughters of God. It is an experience of communion with God. In this process, one recognizes that certain experiences trigger thoughts and feelings that have many layers of meaning. By submitting those to the Lord we move on in greater wholeness. We move closer to the fullness of our identity as sons and daughters.
Regeneration is evidence of the Kingdom of God on earth.
One can change their life and values to accommodate or appease a deep inner brokenness. That is common. Every one of us have genes, lifestyles and behaviors that have been shaped by experience. Sometimes very painful circumstances yield powerful and wonderful character. History is dotted with leaders who have grown up in the crucible, so to speak, and emerged with timely, influential leadership. Winston Churchill is a fine example of this. However, the majority simply cope. They find ways to live with the difficulties.
Christians may break free of these traumas. They are empowered by the Holy Spirit to rise above the nature of their broken history and engage a more glorious reality—one that entirely leaves behind human nature shaped by dark circumstances. This is the promise of the gospel, our invitation to live in the Kingdom of God.
The gay Christian community contends they were born gay and therefore God blesses their nature. This decidedly unscriptural approach recognizes the fruitlessness of trying to manage human instinct through self-control. Truly, homosexuality is a human experience that seems completely natural, even God-given. Changing one's mind, or disciplining one's lifestyle does not release one from the inclination. Rightfully they contend that God loves us fully and completely in our human predicament. Why struggle against something that cannot be controlled?
But there are "once-gay" Christians. Those are the ones who have embraced regeneration and gained joyful heterosexual lives. They see change as the fruit of their relationship with God, not the reward of self-discipline. Both groups seek to flourish and prosper. Both should be equally respected. Both are living realities in our culture today. The difference between once-gay and gay Christians is the power of God. Both recognize the fruitlessness of using one's own strength to engage the behavior. But gay Christians assume God will not require of us something outside of our control.
Once-gay Christians see scripture as an invitation to engage the power of God for the promise of becoming a New Creation. But why bother? God certainly loved them before they embarked on the journey for freedom.
In 1 Samuel we read the story of Israel's desire for an earthly King.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; 5 and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations." 6 But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 The Lord said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. (1 Sam 8.4-7).
15 Now a day before Saul's coming, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel saying, 16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me." (1 Sam 9.15-16.
When Israel rejected God as their king, He seeks to satisfy their desire. Rather than respond with rejection, He searches for a man among them to endorse. He elevates Saul, who looks exactly like what they are looking for. God knows that Saul's heart is fearful, yet Saul has the appearance of a king. And so, God perfectly serves Israel with a "Prince" that matches their desire. He remains King, but elevates a prince, out of love for Israel. But greater Israel has rejected Him. They do not love Him.
How do we love the Lord? We love God by contending for the scriptural promises. This journey to obey His commands yields great intimacy. It is a journey of communion and exchange. I believe we respond in love for God by laying down our lives, by seeking to obey Him with our whole hearts. This grace-filled exchange yields transformation. For some, it is a life-long process full of unexpected turns, but when it is engaged with a pure heart, it never disappoints.
This is the challenge the Church today is facing. Are we willing to contend for the fullness of the power of God, or will we submit our lives to a philosophy that denies His power for healing and wholeness simply because it is out of our hands?
The once-gay movement is more than a counter-cultural movement. It reflects the next move of God.

Obama Names Congressional Aide to White House Staff
CHICAGO | President-elect Barack Obama has chosen a veteran Capitol Hill aide as his top White House representative to Congress, the Democrat's transition team announced Saturday as he works to fill out the senior ranks of his team.
Philip Schiliro has worked in Congress for more than 25 years, many of which were spent as a top aide to longtime Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and the House Oversight Committee. His official title will be assistant to the president for legislative affairs when the new administration takes over Jan. 20.
The move signals a continuing effort by Obama to ensure he has a smooth relationship with the Democratic-controlled House and Senate. Others on his team also have long ties to Capitol Hill, including Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff.
Obama's team also formally announced that Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore, would serve in the same role for Vice President-elect Joe Biden, and that longtime Obama friend and supporter Valerie Jarrett will be a senior adviser and assistant to Obama for intergovernmental relations.
In the coming days, Obama's transition team plans to announce more senior staff positions. Those announcements could include the likely appointments of campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs as White House press secretary, chief strategist David Axelrod as a top White House adviser, and Gregory Craig, President Clinton's impeachment trial lawyer, as White House counsel.
Currently, Schiliro is the director of congressional relations for Obama's transition team, and was a senior adviser on the presidential campaign.
Like several other top Obama advisers, Schiliro has ties to Tom Daschle; he served as policy director when the former South Dakota senator was the Senate Democratic leader. He also was the staff director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Committee. In the 1990s, he twice unsuccessfully ran for a congressional seat from Long Island.
Much of Schiliro's career has been spent investigating allegations of wrongdoing under Waxman and the House Oversight Committee.
He has been credited with bringing the issue of steroids in Major League Baseball to Waxman's attention in 2005 after reading Jose Canseco's book, "Juiced," which said he and other players had used performance-enhancing drugs.


When I started asking questions about web editors, I started thinking there might be something better than what I was using. There are so many web editors out there, it is hard to choose which one to use. Most designers I know find an editor that suits their needs and stick with it. And this is definitely an easy solution. After all, if it's meeting your needs, why would you need a new one? I was using Dreamweaver, and it met my needs.
Dreamweaver has a lot of great features, it includes a decent code editor, has some RWD features, it includes preliminary testing for mobile devices, and integrates fairly well with Photoshop. But one thing I noticed year over year was that even though new versions of Dreamweaver were coming out every year, they all seemed the same. Sure, I didn't want the interface to change too dramatically, I was used to it. But couldn't they at least add in some new features like advanced CSS properties or better visual design? I wouldn't have been so bothered by it except that Adobe was also releasing products like Adobe Muse (a visual web editor with no easy HTML support, but very easy to use WYSIWYG) and the Edge products (Edge Reflow for RWD, Edge Code for HTML, Edge Animate for web and CSS animations, and Edge Inspect for previewing on mobile devices). These products offered a lot of the features I was looking for in Dreamweaver. But why weren't they being included in Dreamweaver?
Once I started asking questions I couldn't stop. I started looking at other editors. It was terrible, I felt like I was cheating on Dreamweaver, but I couldn't help it. The more editors I tried, the more I realized that there were features in web editors that I didn't know I was missing. And once I saw them, I missed them. Thus I moved to Coda and Pinegrow.
What Questions About Web Editors Do You Have?
What web editor do you use? Why do you like it? What would you change about it? Have you considered trying another editor? Most editors out there offer some type of free trial, so you can check out some new editors and perhaps be surprised by the features you didn't know you were missing.

Q: Excel 2013: Condition Formatting with "IF(AND)" and "ISBLANK" and Data Validation Values I have a formatted table and would like to use conditional formatting to shade in cells in a column (G) based on the following conditions:

*

*Value in column (D) must say "Pending Decommission". The value is from a data validation list. If value does not match, do nothing.

*If the above is true, then check to see if value in column (G) is blank.

*If both are true, then insert value "Need Deletion Date" with the appropriate cell shading. If both or either one of the above is not true, then do nothing. I've tried a few nested IFs Ands and IsBlanks but can't seem to get it to work.

I current have this in the conditional formatting formula for cell G2. Of course I would like to apply this to the entire column.
=IF($D$2="Pending Decommission", IF(ISBLANK($G$2)=TRUE,"Insert Deletion Date",""),"")

A: You have two distinct requirements.

*

*Assuming G2 is blank, filter on ColumnG to select banks and in G2 enter:
=IF($D2="Pending Decommission","Insert Deletion Date","")
and copy down to suit. If G2 is not selected by the filter, adjust the row number for the formula accordingly.

*Select ColumnG, clear any existing Conditional Formatting from it and HOME > Styles > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Equal To...:
Insert Deletion Date
and OK.
Adjust the formatting to suit. This will format any cell containing that text in ColumnG before the addition of the formula above.

5 Crowdfunders to Watch – Life (and World) Improvements
In this edition of our ongoing column, we're focusing on female entrepreneurs who are making positive changes, big and small.
This week, we have wellness and well-being on our minds, having just put out a call for submissions for women-made products and women-provided services for our 'Resolutions' Gift Guide. So for this installment of our crowdfunding column, we thought we'd take a look at fundraising efforts for projects with the potential to improve lives. Whether it's enriching a language, representing an ethnic community or ensuring opportunities for the homeless, these women are working hard to make our world a better place.
Check out these 5 women-led crowdfunding campaigns:
1. Brewing Up Opportunities for the Disenfranchised (via Indiegogo)
The Business: Madison Chandler, Katie Koehler and Mark Smesrud are the terrific trio behind Purple Door Coffee, a nonprofit shop in Denver that hires homeless teens and young adults to serve caffeinated delights to customers. "We have been open for over two years and have hired and supported 11 brave people who wanted to leave homelessness forever," the campaign states. Due to the size of the shop, Purple Door Coffee has only been able to hire three employees at a time. Now, it's hoping to expand the business, so it can bring hope to more at-risk youth.
The Money: Within the next 17 days, the team is hoping to raise at least $100,000 — and has a stretch goal of $135,000 in place. With those funds, the folks at Purple Door Coffee would purchase a coffee roaster. The addition of roasting work and the anticipated increase in business due to making and selling products in-house would allow them to hire about five more employees off the streets.
2. A Sustainable Alternative to a Holiday Staple (via Kickstarter)
Credit: Kickstarter
The Business: Demelza Hill is a U.K.-based designer who is passionate and considerate about the materials she uses in her artwork. How else would one dream up a sustainably sourced alternative to a Christmas tree? Hand-crafted and made from responsibly cultivated Ash wood, her "tree" is a charming and contemporary alternative to the real deal (and saves owners the trouble of cleaning up pine needles off the floor).
The Money: By or before Oct. 10, Hill is hoping to raise the equivalent of $6,929. She would use the money to buy more of the materials she needs, and to ensure delivery in time for the holiday season.
3. Telling the Story of a Woman of Color (via Kickstarter)
The Business: Comedienne Mariola Figueroa describes herself as the "anti-typical Hispanic woman." And she hopes to dispel assumptions and stereotypes about Latinos through her interactive new web series, "Spanglish." Her campaign explains: "With Latinos becoming a larger and larger demographic in America, we think now's the perfect time to showcase a Latina character who is completely unlike the silly stereotypes currently prominent in film and television." The "interactive" element of the series involves games that are designed to go with each episode in the series, and will educate viewers by teaching them words in Spanish.
The Money: Figueroa and her cast and crew are looking to raise $8,450 before their Oct. 15 deadline. The money raised would go toward camera, lighting and sound equipment, as well as wardrobe, props and other production-related costs.
4. Changing — and Improving — the English Language (via Kickstarter)
The Business: English is estimated to be the third most commonly spoken language in the entire world. The folks at Millbrae, Calif.-based Wordnik, led by Erin McKean, are hoping to take the language to new heights — by adding a whopping 1 million words to it. To be specific, they want to work these additional words into a massive online database that allows users to search for any term, phrase or word and learn more about it. (For example, here's our quick search of the term "dude" on their site). Definitions are curated from a variety of sources, offering fluidity and depth to each word in the database.
The Money: McKean has set a goal of $50,000, which would go mostly toward fortifying and expanding Wordnik's servers and storage for its online tool. The team has until Oct. 17 to raise or surpass that amount.
5. Bringing Fun and Friendliness to Gym Goers of All Ages (via Indiegogo)
Credit: iamfitness247.com
The Business: Childhood health and fitness is a priority for many people, including trainers Denae Foster and Oneeka Noble. They are the women behind I Am Fitness, a personal-training outfit that will offer free entry and classes to children between the ages of 12 and 17. The Philadelphia business — which, if its physical location is secured, would be open to health-conscious area residents of all ages — says it wants "to be of as much assistance as possible to those looking to better their health… and also provide a safe haven for children to come exercise, seek educational assistance or decompress after a long day in school."
The Money: Though Foster and Noble already a certified, working personal trainers, they're hoping to turn I Am Fitness into a brick-and-mortar entity that serves as a positive presence in their neighborhood. Within the next 39 days, they are hoping to raise $25,000 to reach that goal.

Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha will play host to the traveling exhibition "Circle" from award-winning children's author, artist and film maker Jeannie Baker. The story book behind the exhibition is inspired by the migration of the Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica baueri) from Australia through Southeast Asia, to its Alaskan breeding grounds and then back to Australia.
Jeannie visited each of the locations featured in the book to see the birds in their natural habitat, then used unique materials from each of those places to create her artwork. The exhibition features beautifully executed collages made from tiny pieces of wool, earth, plant material, feathers and glass.
The exhibition opens in the Richard Randall Art Studio on Monday 8 January 2018 until Sunday 25th February 2018. Entry is by gold coin donation.

From South Africa To The Prairies, 6 Things You Need To Know About Moving To Farming In Canada
More and more South African farmers are turning towards Canada for greener pastures when it comes to working in the Canadian prairies. Many farmers and business owners in South Africa are selling their assets and using the money and their farming know-how to purchase their ticket and potentially farm land (or farm land rentals) in Canada, with Regina Saskatchewan high on the list of premium destinations. Business Insider reports one consultancy that specializes in these business visas for agriculture immigration to Canada has seen an increase in visa processing by as much as 15 times previous numbers.
Considering selling your farm in exchange for some Canadian acreage to tend? Here are 6 things to know about moving to Canada to farm.
Canada Needs Farmers
In 1931, one in three people in Canada were involved in the farming sector, but by 2016, only one in 58 were involved, making agriculture a primary 'in demand' sector. Since Canada needs farmers and their skillsets this makes immigration easier compared to other professionals looking to enter the country.
A New Trend Emerging
Today, as many as one out of every 14 Canadian farms is immigrant-owned. Most of these farms are in Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. With the average income for farmers in Canada (post operation expenses) is approximately $69,000 per year, with many provinces reporting higher salaries than the average, this income is generous to live on, particularly in rural areas where rent and housing is lower compared to major city centres.
Saskatchewan Is A Competitive Farming Hub
The province of Saskatchewan alone boasts a total of 50,598 farms that are most famed for their production of grains. While farming used to be in the top three industries for this province's local economy, it's no longer the case, meaning that those with proven farming skills are even more necessary to this area. The Saskatchewan area has its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) which is in place to target international candidates who can best work specific categories of land vacancies that can't be fulfilled within the local (or Canadian) farming community. Farmers applying through the Saskatchewan farming stream must have a minimal net-worth of $500,000 Canadian to even be considered to farm this province's land.
The Strictest Province
It's well-known that Saskatchewan has some of the most stringent rules in all of Canada in terms of farm ownership. These rules provide advantages to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, particularly when it comes to holding a title to farmland in excess of 10 acres. Work with those experienced in this province in order to look into any potential provincial exemptions that might apply to you.
No Local Succession Planning
Those looking towards building a family business they can pass on to future generations may have a leg up on Canadian farmers. Canada doesn't have enough young farmers to replace its steadily aging Baby Boomer population. A recent survey revealed that although the average Canadian farmer is 55 years old, less than 10 percent of Canadian farms have a written succession plan in place, for when they decide to exit the business. Those seeking a move to Canada would be well-positioned, particularly if they have a solid plan to grow and plant the seeds for the next generation of farmers.
Experience That Counts
South Africans, or any internationally experienced farmers who have proof of previous success in commercial agriculture operations and advanced English language skills may find easier entry into the country. Research into where there are gaps, whether it's in livestock or mixed-crop farming, may provide you with your ticket to Canada and building the farm of your dreams.
