MIDLAND, Texas, Nov. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) ("Diamondback" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
"Diamondback continued to deliver on both our near-term objectives and long-term strategic initiatives through the third quarter and into the fourth quarter of 2018. First, we were able to deliver significant quarter over quarter production growth while maintaining our best in class margins and operational efficiencies. Second, we closed multiple highly complementary asset acquisitions in the Northern Midland Basin and have since taken over operations. Finally, we continued executing on our midstream and long-haul takeaway strategy through our commitment to, and ownership interest in, the Gray Oak Pipeline project. With our commitment to Gray Oak and EPIC, Diamondback has secured waterborne pricing and "wellhead to water" solutions for all of the current and expected production from our existing asset base, while also building value for our midstream business through strategic joint ventures," stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.
Diamondback's Q3 2018 production was 123.0 Mboe/d (72% oil), up 45% year over year from 85.0 Mboe/d in Q3 2017, and up 9% quarter over quarter from 112.6 Mboe/d in Q2 2018.
During the third quarter of 2018, Diamondback drilled 40 gross horizontal wells and turned 43 operated horizontal wells to production. The average completed lateral length for third quarter wells was 9,638 feet. Operated completions during the third quarter consisted of 18 Wolfcamp A wells, 11 Wolfcamp B wells, 10 Lower Spraberry wells, two Middle Spraberry wells and two Second Bone Spring wells.
The Company operated 13 drilling rigs and five dedicated frac spreads during the third quarter of 2018. Following the closing of the Ajax acquisition, Diamondback assumed operations of one additional operated rig, and plans to maintain this cadence for the remainder of 2018. The Company now expects to turn between 170 and 175 gross operated horizontal wells to production for the full year 2018.
In Pecos County, Diamondback continues to achieve strong performance from operated completions targeting the Wolfcamp A. In Block 142 in the eastern third of our acreage, the Neal Lethco A 17-18 1WA was completed with a lateral length of 9,883 feet and achieved an average peak 30-day 2-stream flowing initial production ("IP") rate of 229 boe/d per 1,000 feet (89% oil). The State Neal Lethco 10-9 B 2WA, which commenced with a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 173 boe/d per 1,000 feet (80% oil), went on to produce a peak 90-day flowing IP rate of 149 boe/d per 1,000 feet (79% oil).
Also in Pecos County, the Company recently completed two additional tests of the Second Bone Spring. The Black Stone State 1-12 B 1SB, with a lateral length of 10,081 feet, achieved a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 121 boe/d per 1,000 feet (91% oil). The Stewart 28-21 Unit 1SB, after commencing with a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 124 boe/d per 1,000 feet (85% oil), went on to achieve a peak 90-day IP rate of 103 boe/d per 1,000 feet (84% oil).
In the ReWard area of the Delaware Basin, Diamondback recently completed a two-well pad targeting the Wolfcamp A. The Nokota 19 DODT 1WA and 2WA, completed with an average lateral of 10,090 feet, produced an average 24-hour IP rate of 292 boe/d per 1,000 feet (74% oil). The Jane M Graves A 3WA, which commenced with a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 217 boe/d per 1,000 feet (81% oil), went on to achieve a peak 90-day IP rate of 191 boe/d per 1,000 feet (80% oil).
In the Delaware Basin, Diamondback has recently begun testing the use of 100% local sand after closely monitoring offset activity and results. The Company recently implemented the use of 100% local sand with all three of its frac crews in the Midland Basin and has realized a ~$60 per lateral foot reduction in well costs relative to Northern White sand pricing from the first quarter of 2018. Additionally in the Delaware Basin, Diamondback is assessing the economic benefit of substituting diesel use with natural gas by running one rig and one completion crew with dual fuel capabilities. If successful and economic, Diamondback has five rigs and two completion crews with dual fuel capabilities in its current fleet.
In the Midland Basin, Diamondback has taken over operations from ExL, which recently completed a three-well pad targeting the Wolfcamp A. The UL Comanche A4144 Unit was completed with an average lateral length of 7,807 feet and produced an average peak 30-day IP rate of 166 boe/d per 1,000 feet (93% oil).
Diamondback's third quarter 2018 net income was $157 million, or $1.59 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) was $165 million, or $1.67 per diluted share.
Third quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) was $372 million, up 60% from $232 million in Q3 2017.
Third quarter 2018 average realized prices were $55.99 per barrel of oil, $1.90 per Mcf of natural gas and $30.44 per barrel of natural gas liquids, resulting in a total equivalent unhedged price of $46.59/boe, up 22% from $38.25/boe in Q3 2017.
Diamondback's cash operating costs for the third quarter of 2018 were $8.70 per boe, including lease operating expenses ("LOE") of $4.34 per boe, cash general and administrative expenses of $0.78 per boe and taxes and transportation of $3.58 per boe.
As of September 30, 2018, Diamondback had $492 million in standalone cash and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. In connection with its Fall 2018 redetermination, which closed in October, the borrowing base under Diamondback's credit facility increased to $2.65 billion from $2.0 billion, and the Company's aggregate elected commitment amount was increased to $2.0 billion from $1.0 billion previously.
During the third quarter of 2018, Diamondback spent $321 million on drilling, completion and non-operated properties, and $74 million on infrastructure and midstream. Year-to-date, Diamondback has spent $934 million on drilling, completion and non-operated properties, and $205 million on infrastructure and midstream, while generating free cash flow of $12 million, excluding acquisitions.
Diamondback announced today that the Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 12.5 cents per common share payable on November 26, 2018, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2018.
Giving effect to the Ajax, ExL and EnergyQuest acquisitions that closed on October 31, 2018, as well as continued outperformance of Diamondback's legacy assets, Diamondback is increasing its full year 2018 production guidance to a range of 118.5 Mboe/d to 119.5 Mboe/d, up 2% from the midpoint of the prior range. This guidance increase does not take into effect the Energen merger, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter subject to shareholder approvals.
Additionally, Diamondback is increasing full year 2018 CAPEX guidance to a range of $1.5 to $1.575 billion from $1.4 to $1.5 billion previously. This increase is due to the added infrastructure costs related to the signing of Diamondback's joint development agreement with Carlyle, as well as the accelerated build out and upgrade of midstream assets in the Southern Delaware through its subsidiary Rattler Midstream. Diamondback expects to exit the year operating 14 drilling rigs, excluding the pending Energen merger, which is above its original expectations of 10 to 12 rigs for the year. This acceleration requires up front infrastructure capital as Diamondback continues operational momentum into 2019, thus increasing its overall infrastructure budget.
Diamondback will host a conference call and webcast for investors and analysts to discuss its results for the third quarter of 2018 on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. CT. Participants should call (877) 440-7573 (United States/Canada) or (253) 237-1144 (International) and use the confirmation code 8268326.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than historical facts, that address activities that Diamondback assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management's current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the results to differ materially from those expected by the management of Diamondback. Information concerning these risks and other factors can be found in Diamondback's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, which can be obtained free of charge on the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site at http://www.sec.gov. Diamondback undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.
(1) Includes non-cash expense of $5,350 and $6,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $18,451 and $19,418 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(2) The volumes presented are based on actual results and are not calculated using the rounded numbers in the table above.
(3) Hedged prices reflect the effect of our commodity derivative transactions on our average sales prices. Our calculation of such effects includes realized gains and losses on cash settlements for commodity derivatives, which we do not designate for hedge accounting.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus non-cash (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, capitalized equity-based compensation expense, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, gain on revaluation of investment and income tax (benefit) provision. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by United States' generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company's operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company adds the items listed above to net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income attributable to Diamondback Energy, Inc. plus non-cash loss on derivative instruments, gain on revaluation of investment and related income tax adjustments. The Company's computations of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our credit facility or any of our other contracts.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss).
Adjusted net income is a performance measure used by management to evaluate performance, prior to non-cash loss on derivative instruments, gain on revaluation of investment, loss on sale of assets, other income and related income tax adjustments.
As of the filing date, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts. The Company's derivative contracts are based upon reported settlement prices on commodity exchanges, with crude oil derivative settlements based on New York Mercantile Exchange West Texas Intermediate pricing and Crude Oil Brent and with natural gas derivative settlements based on the New York Mercantile Exchange Henry Hub pricing. When aggregating multiple contracts, the weighted average contract price is disclosed.

Mixity Masterplanning (Tainan, Taiwan – 2012)
HONORABLE MENTION - TWO PHASES INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
The new Tainan Re-development Plan is based on a strong relation with the surroundings, thinking at the new Station Area as an enzyme bringing new life to the city. It will be a pleasant place for living, studying, relaxing, being absorbed into culture. Taking into account the cultural presence of several important Taiwanese monuments in Tainan, Mixity focuses on the relationships between traditional areas and the new development. Culture and innovation will find a blend with the presence of a new Museum of History and Arts of Tainan. Culture activities will be next to the Creative Industry Park, where an Icubator will find place. The station itself will host an important cultural and touristic info-center. Being Cheng Kung University Campus a leading center for culture and creativity, next to it a congress hall will be displayed. On the West side, a "Green Observatory" will host butterflies and flowers and it will be an indoor glass house between two parks, the Tainan Park and the Old Rail Park of Mixity. The new Park, is easily accessible and it is composed by five main parts. From North to South we find:
– The "emotional park" is next to cultural activities, such as congress centre, library, mediateque;
– The "tonic park" opens to public uses, for families, children playground;
– The "forest like park" with a dense palm zone, with water basin and open fields;
– The "urban activities park", with a wide plaza open to activies;
– The "waiting and admiring park", with fruit trees, such as mangos, and papayas, close to the bus terminal stations.
Intriguing bridges cross the park. They remind traditional bridges, such as the Sanxiantal-Bridge in Taiwan. An electric shuttle bus connects the site from North to South to the existing mobility system. A 'stratified city' starts to be in place, through the creation of several vertical layers of development. Keeping the height of 20 meters as the main level for a new horizontal public path. From it, higher buildings host new functions, both cultural, tertiary and commercial ones.

A novel M5 Nomad cell line has been developed stably transfecting Ca++ Nomad biosensor and human Muscarinic 5 receptor (M5) into U2OS cell line.
Innoprot Ca++ Nomad M5 cell line has been designed to assay compounds or analyze their capability to modulate Muscarinic 5 receptor. When the agonist binds to M5 a G protein is activated, which in turn, triggers a cellular response mediated by second messengers (Calcium).
In absence of calcium, the fluorescent biosensor is localized in the cellular membrane. An increase in this second messenger concentration leads to change in the structural folding of Nomad Biosensor that promotes its cellular relocation in the vesicular trafficking of the cells. Activity is easily quantified on living cells by image analysis of cytoplasmatic granularity changes.
This highly reproducible assay has been validated using oxotremorine as a M5 agonist in a High Content Analysis (HCA) Platform. This cell line has been validated measuring calcium increase in the cytosol analyzing Ca++ Nomad biosensor vesicularization, showing an average of Z´= 0.76 +/- 0.02 for High Content Screening.
P70103: 2 vials of 3 million stably transfected U2OS Cells expressing muscarinic 5 receptor and Nomad Biosensor.


A young mom who faced withering public scorn after forgetting her baby in a shopping cart is now speaking out.
"I'm a good mom who made a horrible mistake," 28-year-old Cherish Peterson said.
She broke down in tears as she spoke about the incident that's creating a firestorm on social media.
Peterson was shopping at a grocery store in suburban Phoenix, Arizona, last week as the temperature soared to 104-degrees.
She had three of her four children with her - including two-month-old son Huxton - whom she placed in a shopping cart strapped inside a baby carrier.
She told KPHO-TV she was so distracted she didn't realize she left the baby in the parking lot until she got home.
"As I was pulling into the garage, my three-year-old goes, 'Mom, where is baby Huxton?' I turned around and looked and realized he was gone. I just totally freaked out," she said.
In a 911 call, a woman said she found an unsupervised baby in a car seat at a Supercuts Hair Salon.
Fortunately, Huxton wasn't hurt. His mom hurried back to the mall 40 minutes later.
One person remarked online: "I don't understand how a 'good mom' could forget her 2-month-old child in a shopping cart."
But she added: "Nothing they can say can make me feel worse than I did in that moment that I turned around and saw my car seat missing."
Peterson said: "I count my blessings because my baby was okay."
Her husband Nathan is also standing by her.
"We're not perfect. But we love our family and we love our children," he said.
Peterson added: "There is nothing that I love more in this world than being a mom, and there is no one in this world that can love my kids more than me."

The Executive MBA Program is tough. There's no such thing as an MBA-light around here. You have to work hard for what you get, but it's absolutely worth it. I mean, they put you through the rigor, but in the end, you know you've really earned your degree, as opposed to just being handed a piece of paper. The Chicago Approach - challenging convention and looking at things from lots of angles before drawing conclusions - has absolutely changed the way I think about solutions.
The professors don't just tell you how to do something, or how to solve an individual problem. They give you the skills to reach your own solutions - solutions that can be replicated and applied to multiple situations in the future. We focus less on understanding the economy right now and more on understanding the fundamentals that help us draw our own conclusions about how to navigate the business world. We're learning the theory and concepts behind market behavior so that we'll still be finding the best possible solutions tomorrow - and in five or 20 years from now.
And the professors like to be challenged, which is refreshing. They're really interested in the application of theory. They want to know what's going on, on the ground, and what people are saying in different industries about the concepts we're discussing. For example, my macroeconomics professor worked at the Federal Reserve. In class, he'd come in and talk to us about what they'd discussed in recent meetings, and what our heads of government were saying about the economy. You just don't get that at other schools. You get that at Chicago Booth.
It's been intellectually stimulating to be surrounded by such incredible business minds. In the past, I was always the one coming up with an idea, and wanting to talk about it and see where it might go. But finding people on the same level, interested in that kind of thing, was a challenge. Here, I'm surrounded by people who are all idea-makers. It's an amazing support system of people who all want to take risks, put something together, and explore where things might lead. The discussions that happen in class and in our study groups are so valuable. Chicago Booth has taught me not to defer to the obvious "expert," because all of us are experts in something, and we're always learning from each other.
One of the things that surprised me about Booth was just how strong the networking aspect is. When people first found out that I was going to Chicago Booth, they'd always want to talk to me about the program. The prestige and name recognition is definitely there, which is a draw for those of us who are already established in the business world. Whenever I put my business card with the Chicago Booth logo on my travel bag, complete strangers always come up and want to talk about the program. I'm really proud to be a member of the Booth community. Everyone's a go-getter. These are smart, accomplished people who are looking to take their next steps. And it's exciting to be a part of that.

Australia's population growth as a result of the influx of immigrants is having an increasingly positive impact on the property market, says DEPPRO Managing Director, Paul Bennion.
According to Bennion, the growing impact of overseas migrants on the property market has been a significant trend in the industry in recent years.
"Population growth is traditionally a key driver of the property market because it underpins demand for real estate. Immigrants now account for over 50% of total population growth in some areas of Australia. Not only do these people require rental properties when they first arrive in Australia, but down the track, they begin to buy their own homes and later, many purchase investment properties," Bennion said.
Bennion warns however, that many immigrants do not fully understand the tax benefits available to them in Australia when they buy investment properties.
"For example, the tax laws relating to buying an investment property in the United Kingdom and Australia are very different, particularly in areas such as negative gearing and depreciation benefits. Any investor should seek the advice of a professional when it comes to maximising the financial benefit of their investment property," Bennion said.


The best leadership communications inspire, motivate, and drive organizations in the right direction. Often, we don't realize that corporate leadership messages can be easily misinterpreted and seem inauthentic, resulting in disengaged employees. Streamlining executive-level communications strengthens brand culture and increases trust in leadership.
SocialChorus gives leaders an effective platform to speak to all employees in every scenario, from monthly business updates to crisis communications. From one platform, get the message out to your employees in the channels they use the most.
Are your leadership communications in real time? Can your leaders reach employees on their phones, the intranet, and via email in one click?
Post leadership communications from a single point of publishing without the hassle of logging in to multiple tools. Give your leadership a simple way to connect quickly via video or text posts.
Do you need to make sure certain employees hear from leadership? It's easy to do with simple segmentation. You can segment and reach every employee on their phones, the intranet, or via email.
When broadcasting to employees, leaders want to know their stats. Generate an engagement report in minutes.
A major household appliance manufacturer was looking for a leadership communications solution for its global team. Engagement was lagging. The company needed to capture the attention of 100,000 employees, and they knew that more unread emails weren't the solution.
They decided to think outside the box. Using SocialChorus, their CEO began holding digital town halls where he would create and share videos via their branded company app. At these town halls, he would answer a randomly chosen employee question each week. The campaign humanized his voice and captured the attention of employees company-wide.
After each video was shared, the team was able to measure performance and overall engagement. Employees reported that the digital town halls made them feel more informed about leadership and company initiatives. The effort set a new standard for corporate leadership communications.
But if no one hears it, then it's lost its power. Give every worker the chance to connect with your executives.

Below we collect some perspectives from participants in the New to Teach event that was held at the IHR in September 2018. Sponsored by the Royal Historical Society, HUK provided travel funding to enable participants from outside London to attend. We share some of their thoughts below.
With the start of my new job looming (thanks in no small part to the Academic Job Boot Camp earlier this year!), I was delighted to sign up for the New To Teaching training held in September. The day started with an introduction to writing new courses, including an overview of the principles of backwards design and some practical exercises to get us started. Needless to say, I feel much less daunted by the prospect of writing two new modules this year thanks the session! We were also given a taste of how to use digital humanities to improve the student experience, shown some exciting examples of the use of social media in the classroom, and given some top tips and tricks for delivering lectures and seminars. Thank you to History UK for another brilliant, practical training day; I look forward to putting what we learned into practice in the new academic year.
Although I have taught seminars for four years, being offered the opportunity to convene a module for the first time had proved daunting. Likewise, my simultaneous entering the Job market after just shy of four years enrolled on a PhD forced me to reassess my employment situation – was I fully equipped? Was I prepared? The session was enlightening in helping me to consider the fundamentals of lecturing, seminar leading and course design – revisiting these in a friendly environment was fruitful and encouraging. This session helped me ignore some of the pettier concerns I had and prepare to rethink what I could do differently, it also made me more confident for an interview for a post-doc I had the following week. At time of writing, I had not heard back, but I felt more prepared for the interview, and comfortable with the line of questioning. I would thoroughly recommend others attend this event in future. Even if you think you are a good tutor, it is important to be able to reflect and reassess. That is, after all, a cornerstone of the teaching in higher education.
Having done a PGCE in Secondary History, I thought I would attend this course to update my practice now that I am teaching in Higher Education. I thought the course was very well structured and it covered lots of different teaching styles such as small group teaching and lecturing. I found these sessions useful and have tried to implement some of the strategies in my own teaching. The careers development session at the end of the day was very informative. It was especially nice to hear the thoughts and experiences of the other academics in attendance.
The History UK New to Teaching event was a thoroughly enjoyable day, raising some interesting points and encouraging thought on how to structure lessons, how to engage students and ensure they obtain as much as possible from lectures and seminars, providing a forum for discussion with peers and with an opportunity also to discuss with individuals experienced in teaching techniques. I have managed to incorporate some of the ideas in semester of teaching – together this has helped in my professional development and made me keen to continue teaching in the future!
"Over twenty people attended the event, and participated in a series of interactive workshops designed to develop their understanding of innovations in teaching and learning with a focus on curriculum design and authentic assessment, teaching seminar groups, using digital technology in the undergraduate classroom, quality assurance and preparing for the academic job market. Peter led with an interactive session about curriculum design. Historians at Indiana University, such as David Pace, Joan Middendorf and Leah Shopkow have been pioneering the work of decoding the disciplines in order to rethink the ways in which teaching and curriculum design can be more finely tuned to address the conceptual bottlenecks that hinder student progression. In a practical exercise, participants combined this pedagogic strategy with the more well-trodden approach of Constructive Alignment to improve one area of their teaching. Jamie Wood (University of Lincoln), then facilitated a session about small group/seminar work. Some of us may take for granted what a seminar is and what it can be for. By modelling several best practices, Jamie showed participants some of the ways in which seminars can be used to encourage small groups of students to deepen their historical understanding through hands-on and collaborative learning. James Baker (University of Sussex), carried on this theme in his session, though with a specific focus on improving student engagement with historical information and enquiry through the vehicle of the digital humanities. .
Not all of our students are so-called 'digital natives' and struggle to understand the ways in which technology can be used to both support their own learning and interrogate the past. Peter's second session took on the thorny subject of job applications. As you would imagine, in the current climate, this was a session that grabbed participants' attention.
All of the presentations from the event can be accessed here.

What defines a salad? In his latest book Savour: Salads for all Seasons, acclaimed chef Peter Gordon shows us what versatile dishes salads really are, from a perfectly crafted plate able to take centre?place at a dinner party, to a quick three-ingredient salad that can be assembled in minutes.
"Salads have never been as varied or as exciting as they are right now. Today, the idea of having a salad as a main meal, instead of just a starter or side dish, no matter what the season, is commonplace. We've come to appreciate that salads are not just for summer, they can be enjoyed all year round." – Peter Gordon.
Today, we are bringing you not one but two of Peter's delicious seasonal salad recipes – we do spoil you don't we!
First up is Peter's recipe for burrata and tomatoes with a delicious mango dressing, refreshingly simple and guaranteed to make your taste buds sing!
To make the mango dressing, place all the ingredients except the oil into a jug and purée until smooth using a stick blender. Slowly add the oil and purée for 20 seconds. Add salt to taste. Alternatively, make in a jug blender; although, as this volume is quite small, you may have less success.
Thinly slice the tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Grind over some black pepper and sprinkle with flaky salt.
If your burrata has a solid 'knob' on it, then cut this off and thinly slice it. Break the burrata into chunks.
Arrange the burrata slices and chunks on the tomatoes. Drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle with the sliced spring onion (scallion) and serve immediately.
The second recipe we're sharing with you today is a salmon sashimi salad, perfect for a warm summer's evening.
Slice the cucumber 5mm (¼ in.) thick crossways. Mix with the tomato halves, lemon juice, three quarters of the ginger and ½ teaspoon of salt. Leave to macerate for 30 minutes in the fridge. Drain before using.
Mix the wasabi into the yogurt and place in the fridge.
Mix the soy and mirin with the remaining ginger.
Slice the salmon 5mm (¼ in.) thick and, when you're almost ready to serve, gently toss it with the soy mixture. Leave to marinate for 5 minutes, then drain in a colander, being careful not to crush the flesh.
To serve, lay the salad leaves and salmon on chilled plates. Scatter on the cucumber and tomatoes. Dollop on the yogurt, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on the almonds, cress and some flaky salt.

When I tell people that I have been living and working in Spain for over four years, they often say "You must be fluent by now". Well, this is a sure fire way of knowing that they have never studied a foreign language abroad. There seems to be a belief that just by being in Spain, that Spanish will somehow creep into my brain at night and come popping out of my mouth fully formed in the morning. It's true that you get more casual input from hearing people speaking around you or from the TV, but the hard study and practice still needs to get done.
There are many factors that will impact how quickly you pick up the language when you decide to study Spanish abroad.
Is it with Spanish people or do you hang out with English speakers? If I wanted to meet English people I would have stayed in England. I made a choice when I arrived to only share apartments with native Spanish speakers and preferably only ones who did not speak any English (this was a bit harder to stick to). I had only one English friend, who I didn't see that much. This setup forced me to listen and learn as quickly as possible.
An extension of my previous point. Tricky I know, and love is blind blah blah blah….If you're really serious about learning Spanish you'll resist English speaking temptation until the right Spanish speaker comes along. OK, maybe joking slighty and a slight fail for me here. I am with someone who does speak good English, and also prefers to speak Catalan over Castellano.
Getting a job when you have a low level of Spanish can obviously be very difficult, but if you end up working for your local Irish pub serving tourists and other expats, you are missing out on 8 hours a day of golden practice opportunity. I have failed at this one, I have to admit. The company where I work now uses both English and Spanish interchangeably, but I only speak Spanish regularly with the minority of my colleagues who do not speak English. Must try harder at this one.
I remember how it was not knowing anybody in a foreign country and trying to resist just staying indoors with a good English DVD and Facebook. Big fail. At least make it a Spanish DVD. If you don't know anyone yet, get yourself an intercambio. Your Spanish level will improve rapidly and you may make some good friends. I certainly did.
If you're feeling brave you could even sign up for classes in something like any other Spanish person, such as cooking, film appreciation etc. You may not get much at first but you will avoid the main problem with Spanish language classes. They are full of foreigners!
If all else fails you could actually study.
If you're not abroad specifically to take an intensive Spanish language course, then at least get the books out and put the time in. Before I had a job here I spent many hours in the wonderful public libraries of Barcelona just going through my Spanish grammar excercises . I know some people are a bit dismissive of using standard Spanish grammar and excercise books, but as part of a mixed way of learning I think that they are invaluable.
I'd love to hear from anybody who has studied Spanish abroad, and get your opinion on how quickly you progressed. Just leave a comment below.
Sometimes it's best to stay in your comfort zone The best Spanish Grammar book.

..If we were to talk about Muay Chaiya without mentioning the name of Master Kimseng Taweesit, then we would probably be missing a portion of the history of Muay Chaiya.
…..Master Kimseng was born on February 13th 1890, at Yannava district, Bangkok. He went to Singapore when he was 14 years old, where he learned Judo, fencing, and international boxing. Then he met a bakery shop owner named Mr. Baker, who taught master Kimseng the theory and practical aspect of boxing following the N.S rules(National Spoting Rules). Mr. Baker's training had made Master Kimseng an excellent boxer.
…..An article written by Master Kate Sriyapai, stated that aside from the fighting arts mentioned, he also knew "Penjak", a fighting style of the Java people of Indonesia, Geng Koong a form of Chinese boxing, and Jujitsu, the Japanese fighting style of joint lock and break system.
…..He became a Muay Thai boxer when he was around 25 years old. Not long after that he started to teach Muay Thai, as well as, international boxing at his house at the Yannava district, near Wat Don Buddhist temple. He had many students and fighters in his staple. They brought in more victories than losses. There were many Muay Thai, as well as, international boxing champions coming form this camp, thus, the Taweesit camp, or staple, was born.
…..In 1929-1939, Praya Katatornbodee (a government officer with the title equivalents to "lordship") built a stadium inside the Lumpinee Park and invited Master Kimseng to help in the capacities of fight arrangements and as referee. Master Kimseng's name became even better known because of this.
…..Sometime before 1934, the Ministry of Education of Thailand invited Master Kimseng to teach boxing in their schools. He was appointed the professor of Physical Education, attached to the Central Office of the Physical Education. He had students all over the country. Many went on to become boxing teachers and opened their own boxing camps.
…..He also caused the "Prom See Na" and the "Yang Sook Ka-sem", the 2 movements of the pre-fight ceremony or "Rum Muay" to become well known and considered a heritage that Thai boxers still perform today.
…..But with much regrets, the hand techniques of "Ngai Mud" or up-side down fist had been losed with the passing of Master Kimseng. Master Kate mentioned in his article that "Ngai Mud" is different from the boxing guard of any one else in the country". This technique had disappeared from Muay Thai now. Master Kimseng Taweesit (or Suntorn Taweesit) died of lung cancer on August 22nd 1961, when he was 72 years old.


Baby needs nursing at 2 am. Most new parents "get" that, on an intellectual level. However, on a deeper level, they may grossly underestimate just how much these nighttime feedings and snuggles will cut into their sleep time and how long this period of sleeplessness can last.
Newborn babies may take anywhere from three to nine months to settle into their sleep architecture. Most people aren't prepared to endure yet enough nine months of poor sleep after having just gone through nine months previously dealing with sleep problems.
Getting insufficient sleep does take its toll on new parents, both physically and emotionally. It's important to take this sleep deprivation seriously; while making lighthearted jokes about not getting enough sleep is common in our culture, the fact is that anyone with ongoing sleep deprivation is setting themselves up for all kinds of health and safety issues.
Solutions? Obviously the answer is to get your sleep, but how to achieve this may be tricky, especially for single, working mother households. But napping whenever possible is always a good option (especially while baby is sleeping). Hiring someone like a doula to help with nighttime awakenings or to be there for you and baby in the afternoon while you nap can make all the difference. Your spouse, best friend, or relative can also be good for handling feedings and simple babysitting so you can get the rest you need.
Finally, while the baby monitor has become the ubiquitous tool for 21st century parents who wish to check in on their babies, it can also be a trouble-some sleep thief. A mother can hear a crying baby from far, far away; it's hard-wired in her brain to do so, and some recent scientific studies back this up. If you are nearing the stage when junior may be just crying for comfort but not for hunger, it may be time to turn off the monitor video and sound and just get some sleep, perhaps moving toward the "crying it out" stage that many pediatricians advocate for teaching infants self-soothing.
Postpartum discomfort mirrors many of the same prenatal problems a mother encountered prior to labor and delivery. There's the insistence on continued reflux, nighttime leg cramps, hormone changes that sweep over you and leave you feeling nauseated, tenderness in the breasts or the pelvic region due to surgical procedures or natural tearing from delivery. You may be weaning yourself off painkillers after a major abdominal surgery, or you may be passing large blood clots because you are trying to do too much in the early weeks after childbirth.
Solutions? In a nutshell, take care of your aches and pains with the help of your physician, and practice good sleep hygiene. Treat yourself to warm baths, even warm milk at bedtime. Eat healthy foods, try to exercise at a level that is appropriate to your postnatal condition (mothers experiencing Cesarean births will have different requirements from those who delivered vaginally), practice relaxation techniques such as yogic breathing or listening to soft music. All efforts to achieve relaxation also tend to assuage aches and pains and give you a better sense of overall well-being. Keep in mind that the more sleep you get, the less you will be bothered by transitory or residual pain in the postnatal term. Pain perception increases when sleep is insufficient.
Postpartum Insomnia may occur along the spectrum of Postpartum Depression (PPD) or the so-called "baby blues." It's quite common to experience emotional shifts following childbirth. Hormone changes lead to mood swings, fatigue and problems sleeping at night. Insufficient sleep then leads to memory problems, brain "fog," emotional sensitivity, even the desire to stop being a new mother. Whether the insomnia following childbirth is caused by PPD, or whether the PPD is caused by insufficient sleep is less important: what's critical here is that it can be serious and needs treatment.
Getting good sleep isn't a luxury for the few. It shouldn't be a checkmark on one's bucket list of things you'd like to encounter some day, but as an all-out priority in your life. Not sleeping compromises both the health of you and your child. It is worth doing everything in your power to ensure you relieve yourself of the problems that sleep deprivation can bring.


Madrid (AFP) – Chinese-owned Espanyol have appointed former Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores as their new coach, the La Liga outfit revealed on Thursday.
Espanyol, who are majority-owned by Chinese entertainment company Rastar Group, said Sanchez Flores had signed "a three-year deal" to replace Romanian Constantin Galca.
Sanchez Flores was surprisingly fired by Watford at the end of his only season in charge of the Hornets, in which he guided the club to Premier League survival following their promotion form the Championship.
The 51-year-old has previously coached Atletico Madrid and Valencia amongst other teams in La Liga, as well as Portuguese giants Benfica.
During his playing career he won La Liga with Real Madrid in 1995 and earnt 15 Spain caps.
As a coach he led Atletico to the 2010 Europa League title and Benfica to the Portuguese Cup the year before.
Espanyol parted company with Galca last month despite the Romanian steering them to safety during a difficult season.
He had only taken over the reins in December with the team deep in a relegation dogfight before guiding them to a comfortable 13th-placed finish.


I'm always looking for ways to use new forms of social media on DCHeavyMetal.com and this weekend I'll be doing my first live streaming video interview on Periscope, a free video streaming app for both iOS and Android. On Saturday, May 13th (that's tomorrow!) some time around 7:30 or 8pm I'll be at DC Brau with Richard Johnson of Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Drugs Of Faith talking about the upcoming ANb show at the Black Cat on May 21st, beer, music and anything else that comes to mind. I'll also have a free pair of tickets to give to the person with the best question for Richard!
If you can't watch live don't worry, I plan on saving the stream and posting it to YouTube and on the main site for people to watch later. If this goes well then I hope to do more interviews with metal musicians at local breweries and bars around town in the future. I hope you enjoy the first in a series of interviews I'd like to call "Have A Beer With…" so join us Saturday evening and have a beer with Richard Johnson of Agoraphobic Nosebleed!

The Highway DRIVE brings you all the action of the most exciting team in the NHL, the Vegas Golden Knights live on 94.9 and 96.9 FM on the highway, and worldwide right here at highwayradio.com. Don't miss a game. Check the schedule, here.

He earned a Bachelor's degree in business from the University of Phoenix, as well as a B.Phil. degree in philosophy and an M.A. degree in theology from the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio.

Generally very refined. Quick and loses nothing of the conventional A3 understated class. Fuel-free mileage potential is alluring.
Ride quality and tyre noise issues are thorns in its side. Loss of some boot space may be a problem for some. Real world running costs could be substantial with high daily mileage.
The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron builds on this base to produce a car with all that, plus the sort of claimed fuel economy and CO2 emissions figures that were the stuff of Anita Roddick's fantasies not too long ago. That concoction, thinks Audi, makes the e-tron a very edible cake in a very niche market: there were only around 5000 cars of this type sold in 2013.
'Cars of this type' are petrol-electric hybrids, though not of the same sort that, say, the Lexus CT200h is, which allows electric driving only in very specific low speed circumstances and for a very short time. The A3 e-tron is the sort of hybrid that plugs in and could, in theory, never tap into its fuel tank.
It's the same setup found in the Volkswagen Golf GTE, though in that application it's very much an aid to eco-conscious performance, whereas Audi sees the A3 e-tron as a refined and futuristic diesel-killer.
A look at the figures makes it clear why Audi feels that way - 37g/km CO2 and 176.6mpg claimed average fuel consumption. And it has 204PS channelled through a six-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox, so it can hit 62mph from nought in 7.6 seconds. That's what Audi calls progress.
And because it's an electric car, it qualifies for the government's £5000 electric mobility grant – which is a good job, because the list price for this fancy hatchback is just shy of £35,000. You won't pay annual VED for your digital tax disc, at least, so there's a few bob saved.
Unlike the rest of the Audi A3 range, the e-tron is only available as a Sportback and with one trim level. As befits the price, however, it dishes up a lot of equipment, including 17-inch alloy wheels, MMI HDD-based navigation with seven-inch touch screen, 10GB flash music storage, DAB radio, two-zone climate control, front sports seats, LED headlights, rear LED lights and plenty more.


Flingorna innehåler naturligt magnesiumklorid och upptas redan efter några minuter via huden.
Använd ca 100g i fotbad i ca 15-20min och ca 200g i bad i minst 20min. 100g flakes ger 12g magnesium.
Ta ett skönt bad för spända muskler, efter en lång och stressig arbetsdag eller när du vill njuta en lugn stund för dig själv.
A pure and naturally condensed source of Zechstein Inside magnesium chloride. Magnesium encourages the body to absorb calcium which could otherwise, over time result in a build-up within soft tissue and muscles, causing them to harden, restricting flexibility and function.
By creating a more diluted solution of magnesium chloride greater areas of the body can be exposed for longer periods of time, allowing a more gentle absorption of the mineral.The efficiency of magnesium absorption depends upon the relationship between the strength of the mineral concentration, the surface area of the body exposed and the length of time the two are in contact. This method is ideal for overall relaxation and skin health.


Destination Maternity has a new board—and a new interim CEO.
Following a drawn-out and bitter proxy battle, and based on preliminary results, all four members of a dissident slate—three of them women— took seats from incumbent directors at Destination Maternity's annual meeting on Wednesday. The losing slate, which was supported by the retailer, included three men and one woman, interim CEO Melissa Payner-Gregor.
Female-dominated board of directors are extremely rate, reported CNBC. Only once in the three years starting in January 2015, has a management team or dissident put forth a slate in the U.S. that had a majority women nominees, said CNBC, which cited Proxy Insight.
The newly elected Destination Maternity board includes Marla Ryan, founder of Lola Advisors, a business consultancy for the apparel, beauty and wellness industry, who takes over as interim CEO, according to philly.com. Previously, she held senior positions at Lands' End and J. Crew.
It also includes Holly N. Alden, co-founder of Skullcandy, and of Stace; Christopher Morgan, formerly an equity analyst at Kingdon Capital; and Anne-Charlotte Windal, a former Wall Street retail analyst with Bernstein Research.
While the results have not yet been certified, the preliminary vote count showed that all four dissidents were elected, Reuters reported.

UVA Club of Hong Kong
Welcome to the UVA Club of Hong Kong webpage. Part of the UVA Global Network, our club is very active and puts on several events throughout the year with a focus on networking, philanthropy, culture, UVA admissions and engagement with current and prospective students. We have a lot of fun and would love for you to join the festivities.
Get involved! The best way to begin is to contact a member of our leadership committee and describe your interests. We welcome all alumni, parents and friends of the University of Virginia and can't wait to have you involved with our Club!
The UVA Club of Hong Kong no longer has "members" that pay membership dues. Instead, everyone is a member and the Club's events will be open to all. For those events for which the Club charges a fee to attend or participate, it will be a single price, rather than one price for non-members and a discounted price for members. Instead of paying a membership fee, the Club will instead be seeking donations from its supporters. This change-over will have one major change – the previous "membership fees" will be replaced by (hopefully) your donations, which will be fully tax-deductible.

Found Footage Festival: After Dark
Fri 31 Aug – Sat 1 Sep 2018
'Hysterical and brilliant.'
Soho Downstairs
Our around table, underground comedy and cabaret venue. 20s Berlin meets 50s New York meets 21st Century Soho.
Childhood friends Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher are back in London, serving up their dirtiest, most disturbing, and patently misguided VHS finds from 25 years of collecting.
The Found Footage Festival, America's acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos, will bring its new 2018 show to Soho Theatre, at the end of August.
The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event showcasing videos found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout North America. Comedians Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The Colbert Report) take audiences on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds, providing live commentary and where-are-they-now updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities. From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.
'A comedy sensation.'
Highlights of the new show include:
A home movie documenting a debaucherous holiday weekend in rural Michigan
A New Age exercise video demonstrating a process called "testicle breathing".
The "sexy" hype video for a 1980s pro wrestling duo called The Fabulous Ones.
Behind-the-scenes footage from a fishing-themed calendar called Women in Waders.
'Will have you chuckling so hard you may require medical attention.'
Beyond the Joke
@SohoTheatre
'This pair and their videos will have you in stitches, shouting at a screen that can't answer back.'
Three Weeks
'Skull-crushingly funny…Bank on a big crowd and more than a few laughs.'
A.V. Club
'The biggest collection of weird videos I've ever seen.'
'Carrying the torch for all the odd video gems out there.'
