Barry Schwartz: dangerous beauty
Douglas Leonard
photo David Waldorf
Part showman, part shaman, bricoleur and self-confessed brigand, Barry Schwartz jolted the art world in America and Europe with his high-voltage hot-wired performances. He is now brought to Australia by the Arterial Group for a residency at the Brisbane Powerhouse to collaborate on Electrosonic Interference, a multimedia project for the Centenary of Federation. Belgian artist Bastiaan Maris, a longtime collaborator, has accompanied him as technical director and soundmeister. Here, Schwartz describes the project to Douglas Leonard, Brisbane writer and collaborator on the project.
Half a million volts
The audience is going to see an electrically charged wet environment for starters. The Powerhouse will mirror the process emanating from the sculptural elements with which I work: high voltage energy, liquids that represent motions of hydro electricity or turbines, certain kinds of mechanical impressions which tie in with aspects of the conceptual and visual ideas derived from archival material. What you see you may also think you feel. It won't be a direct feel, but a manifestation of electricity like translating electricity into sound, the tactile impressions of energy, tangible energy.
Electricity is considered very dangerous. We make it visually user-friendly in a way that it becomes beautiful, so you get this real beautiful danger that people see. Sort of romanticise it in a way. We're going to take the gantry crane in The Powerhouse and use it to represent a high voltage transmission tower which will move within the space and also within a liquid environment consisting of a basin or reservoir of non-conductive mineral oil. A hydro electric energy waterfall will provide a projection surface to feed in a lot of text and visual information. This high voltage tower will be turned into an electrical high voltage instrument, sort of a harp, which I am going to physically attack and play, respond to and be re-manipulated by as a physical conduit myself.
We'll also use Tesla coils, high voltage frequency lightning generators, something like half a million volts. The average is something like 60 milli-amps, but it's the resonant frequency which actually creates the voltage. It will actually charge the room, but I don't want to get too technical about that because I'll put my foot in my mouth. I'm more intuitive, you know, a scientist/researcher by trial and error. I don't read a textbook to get it. I have to consult with somebody for the larger concept.
Sculpting sounds and energy
We channel the sound through our custom built sound monitoring system which will be 2, maybe 2 and a half metres in diameter, large satellite dishes. Because they're parabolic in pitch they will act as directional speakers which will project the sound emanating from the sculptures. The system ties directly in and the sound will be fed back and projected towards any given person in the audience. The idea is not to import a sound system; it's all part of the sculptural coherence.
Sources of sound include the vibration of other objects such as a large polished stainless steel disc that creates the impression of a record with a small ice stylus. I create the sound through reactive chemicals such as dry ice and liquid nitrogen and when it hits the plate it causes thermal stress. Minus 200 degrees. The sound actually is almost like a voice, it howls: on aluminium it's screaming and shrilling; with stainless steel you get deeper undertones. It's semi controlled and semi random. Like a lot of my sculptures, instead of building up a fully automated robotic environment—that's not so much my ultimate interest—I like to come in there and intervene bodily. Come in there and disrupt, because then you find other ways to bring about a new process, sort of like experimenting and going through a process in real time.
It's a body of sculptures that question and answer each other within an environment that I create. It's like the relationship of matter and energy, how it relates to and influences the next sculpture. I'm also very interested in that intervention process because I have a difficult time with being just cyber-spatial and sitting on my bum. I think there's a real tactile approach to your relationship with your sculptures and the process. And that's where the collaboration to me becomes interesting—bringing in other ideas which give you other parameters to deal with the relationship between objects.
Digital divination
Technology has created a lot of objects that most people never get to see and they are actually incredibly beautiful, but they are only beautiful once you take them out of their function and maybe recombine them with other things in ways that they suddenly become very special.
Bastiaan Maris
It's called the 'digital divine', a play on the 'digital divide' and not being able to provide computers for certain people, notions of access and lifestyle. Like being a pirate.
I'm very interested in the way things I create are viewed or not viewed, which brings me to other issues, of people who don't have privileges to see it and, second, I've become more active in dealing with homeless people or people at risk in recent years. I don't just like to be considered as doing a "white male boys' thing" in terms of having "everything on my plate." I've struggled really hard sometimes to make the work, and had to find my own employment by going out and scavenging materials in order to provide the means. And that became my job instead of having to, say, work in a restaurant like theatre people would.
Strangers on a train
A lot of my work in San Francisco has been in the art context, and that becomes incredibly stale after a while. At one time we hopped a train to Utah from California, completely bareback—a couple of sacks of clothes and shoes and video equipment—and it's kind of absurd that, because of running out of time, we paid for the passenger train back. We met some young kid there who was really good at picking locks so we had a kind of little party with some candy and beer. And then I look over and I hit this one cabinet that had a VCR, and the VCR was hooked up to the lounge car upstairs so I said, "Hey, pop this tape in." All of a sudden we had commandeered this train—there were 50 people up there—suddenly they were seeing this raw footage we'd made the previous day—stuff like wires, making sound out of it, tumbleweeds, and counter wires attached to the belly of the train—and I'm sitting there watching everybody and it really hit me, like WOW!, this is such a natural process of showing a different context, and why it's really important how you present the work.

I enjoyed the suspense of the book and the twist !
Love this author! This book is equally as suspenseful and unpredictable as her other works. Highly recommend.
It reminded me of Agatha Christie's novels. One mystery, so many plausible suspects.
After reading her other books, this one was very disappointing. Too many characters and not a very well developed story line. Gave up after about a hundred pages in.


LAUSANNE, Switzerland – A Swiss hospital has agreed to let assisted-suicide organization help terminally ill patients take their own lives on its premises.
A spokesman for the Vaud University Hospital Center confirmed reports in Swiss newspapers Saturday that, starting in January, it would let the Exit society assist in the suicide of people already admitted to the hospital who can no longer go home.
The hospital will not accept people whose only goal in entering "is to prepare to end his life," said Alberto Crespo, who is responsible for law and ethics at the hospital. "The purpose of a hospitalization remains therapeutic treatment."
Exit is allowed to help terminally ill Swiss residents commit suicide elsewhere in Switzerland. Depending on local law, the suicides sometimes take place in a designated apartment or the patient's home.
Crespo said his hospital was the first of five university hospitals in Switzerland to work with Exit.
Switzerland's policy is passive assistance to terminally ill people who have expressed a wish to die.
Elsewhere in Europe, Netherlands legalized euthanasia in 2001 and Belgium in 2002.
Britain passed a a law in December 2004 allowing living wills — documents that allow people to specify their medical treatment if they become seriously ill and lose the capacity to decide.
France enables the terminally ill or those with no hope of recovery to refuse treatment in favor of death. Doctors are allowed to administer painkillers, even if their secondary effects include shortening patients' lives. The law stops short of allowing euthanasia.
Europe's top human rights body rejected euthanasia as a legitimate means to end life in April.
In the United States, Oregon voters approved the first physician-assisted suicide law in the United States in 1994. The law took effect after an appeals court lifted a block in 1997, but it is under legal challenge.

For those of you who have never been camping before. Go out there and get into nature.
We have met so many nice, helpful and happy people in our travels. I have seriously learned some great things that will help me so much in our future travels. Not only was there a serious learning curve with owning an Airstream and all the bits and pieces that go with traveling the open road. I didn't really know how to tow a 7200 pound trailer. Driving with a rig is something someone has to grow comfortable with, but still be aware and conscious of ones surroundings at all times. Every vehicle is different and you hope you find that close to perfect fit for your RV. I very quickly understood where I needed to center my vehicles within the lane and to slow it down by about 10 MPH. Patience is virtue and I must say I have become a very safe driver.
Now let's throw this baby in reverse. Patience is lacking and I'm not getting it. Backed up, while turning around on a ranch driveway and nicked the back driver side corner on the trailer. Then backing into our site on the Curecanti Recreational NP, I jacked the back passenger corner, pretty bad. Although both these dents can be popped out, I was very discouraged.
My White bearded angel swept into action while I was destroying my back end at Curecanti Recreational NP. He most likely heard the crinkling of metal and just appeared in the front of my truck. Honestly I did not see where he came from. He stood in front of my truck and made the motion of how I was to turn my wheel at every moment. It clicked. I now understood that I did not need to over compensate for the trailer. Just turn the wheel all the way and then quickly straighten out. This was said to me so many times, but never clicked. Thanks to the bearded angel who disappeared as quickly as he appeared.


PEOPLEMOVIES – February 28, 2018: There's only one thing that could make Oprah Winfrey run for president in 2020.
The media mogul, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, was emphatic in her response to host Kimmel's question about whether she would run.
"Where do I look into the camera? I am definitely not running for president," Winfrey said over cries of "no" from the studio audience.

Q: Can I upload existing NuGet packages to an Azure DevOps artifacts feed? I'm currently migrating from TFS 2012 to Azure DevOps 2019 (both on-premise). With the old server, I would manually create NuGet packages from some of our builds, and host these .nupkg files on a file share (configured as a package source in Visual Studio). With DevOps, I can obviously automate all of this and push the packages straight into an artifact feed.
The old server needs to be decommissioned, so I would like to move the existing .nupkg files out of the file share into the new artifacts feed. Is this possible?

A: Yes, you can push existing .npukg files to the new feed.
You can create a simple PowerShell script that pushes to the feed all your .nupkg files:
# If you didn't add the new feed to your NuGet sources so add it:
nuget sources Add -Name "NEW-FEED" -Source "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/org/_packaging/NEW-FEED/nuget/v3/index.json"
# Put all the nugets in one folder and move to this folder
cd path/to/nupkg/folder
$files = dir
$files.ForEach({
  push -Source "NEW-FEED" -ApiKey AzureDevOps $_.Name
})

Please note: effective annual rate (EAR) is a synonym for annual percentage yield (APY). They both mean the same thing.
Use this calculator to quickly figure out how much money you will have saved up during a set investment period. First, enter your initial amount you have set aside, then enter the interest rate along with how long you tend to invest for.
Next enter how much money you intend to deposit or withdrawal periodically. If this calculation is for a lump sum deposit with no recurring transactions enter "Never" in the "add money" drop down.
Our calculator compounds interest each time money is added. If the account has a lump-sum initial deposit & does not have any periodic deposit, by default interest is compounded monthly. Most bank savings accounts use a daily average balance to compound interest daily and then add the amount to the account's balance monthly, which is mathematically quite similar to monthly compounding.
If you would like to change the compounding frequency for a one-time deposit then set the "deposit each cycle" variable to $0 and select "transaction frequency" at whatever frequency you wish to compound interest.
In the above calculator when recurring account contributions are made, money is added or subtracted at the beginning of each month, week, or other selected period. If you would like to end money at the end of each month then you would subtract the regular contribution amount from the initial savings to calculate interest at the end of the month.
The easy way to do this is to use the above calculator. The hard way would be manually calculating the returns.
To find the interest which was earned from the account all you would need to do is subtract the initial deposit amount from the end result.
For recurring monthly deposits where deposits are made at the end of each month you would use the following calculation.
All the definitions in this formula are the same as the definitions in the first formula, except PMT is the monthly deposit.
If you want to figure out how much interest was earned then you would simply subtract the payment amount times how many payment cycles were made from the end total.
If you deposited $200 per month for 2 years you would then subtract the $2,400 in deposits from the total to get the interest earned.
If the deposits occur at the beginning of each month you would use the same exact formula, but then add 1 more monthly calculation to it.
If you made a series of deposits and there was an initial lump sum deposit then you would treat the series and the initial deposit as two separate entities & then add each total together to get your final savings amount.
This would be the first step of calculating your returns, then you would need to subtract income taxes from the returns & then account for inflation.
Multiply your interest earned against income tax rate (as a decimal) and that will be the total amount of taxes paid. Subtract that amount from your future savings value to get your savings after taxes.
The present value of a future sum of money is equal to the future value times (1 - the annual rate of inflation as a decimal) raised to the nth power, where n is the number of years into the future.
A number of popular websites like Credit Karma, Nerd Wallet & BankRate track current rates on offer for various savings vehicles like high-yield savings accounts, CDs. and even life insurance products. Typically life insurance policies have fees for early withdrawal & many hidden fees embedded in them which make their returns lower than other options.
Some tracker sites appear neutral, but are paid a commission for listing select players across the market, so it can be beneficial to view the full set of listings from each comparison website to ensure you are seeing the highest rate rather than who was willing to pay the most for exposure. It is also worth taking the time to compare your options across multiple sites in case one of them was able to get an exclusive promotional offer.
United States citizens can invest in Treasuries at TreasuryDirect. They also publish recent auction results for notes, bills & bonds of various durations.
Most corporate bonds typically trade at a higher yield than government bonds, as governments are guaranteed to be able to nominally repay their debts denominated in their own currency using currency they print.
The nominal interest earned may not keep up with inflation, especially after income taxes are deducted from earnings, which is part of the reason people who are not risk-adverse & do not need money in the short run are encouraged to invest in equities.
As a general rule of thumb, the longer a person is willing to lock up their capital the higher the rate they will be paid on deposits. For example, in most cases the rate on a 5-year CD is typically higher than the rate on a 1-year CD, which would be higher than the rate available on an ordinary savings or checking account.
The Federal Reserve controls short-term interest rates to help achieve their dual mandate of stable prices and low unemployment levels. These rates in turn help drive creditor preferences across the economy. The level & the shape of the curve changes over time.
When the economy is growing smoothly the duration risk in credit products is reflected in an upward sloping yield curve on treasuries. When investors become less certain about the future economic landscape the yield curve can flatten or even invert. Typically when the yield curve inverts to where 2 year notes yield more than 10 year notes there is a recession in the subsequent 12 to 18 months.
If interest rates jump sharply while an investor has an investment in a long-duration debt instrument then the mark-to-market losses on such an investment can be substantial. If a person has 28 years remaining on a $10,000 30-year bond which pays 3.5% interest and interest rates jump to 6% then the imputed loss of interest income on that bond is 2.5% (the change in interes rate) times the size of the bond ($10,000) times the years remaining (28).
A person who holds the bond until duration will still receive their $10,000 principal & the remaining $9,800 in interest throughout the remainder of the term. But if they are forced to sell it today they are competing against other fresh/new bonds which offer the 6% interest rate. A 30-year bond yielding 6% would pay $16,800 over those same 28 years, along with another $1,200 in the subsequent 2 years.
Changing interest rates have a major impact on the imputed value of existing bonds, with prices & yields being inversely correlated. For a person to purchase an existing bond with a low yielding coupon instead of a new higher-yielding bond they require a discount. To match the same yield-to-maturity the formula is as follows.
If a new bond yields 6% then the old 3.5% bond's price would need to fall from $10,000 to $6,629.32 in order to have the same yield-to-maturity.
Investors who invest in open-end bond funds may have the value of their investment diminished if other co-investors in the same fund liquidate their holdings during market turbulence. When an open ended bond fund investor exits their position at distressed prices they lock in losses for other investors as the fund must sell some bond holdings at distressed prices to fund the withdrawal.
Close ended funds do not have the same co-investor risk as the open-ended funds since the fund price may change on exit but the core holdings do not change, meaning that one can wait out the duration and not eat a loss induced by other investors selling in a panic.
To mitigate credit risks some investors invest a portion of their funds into a bond ladder where they have a regularly scheduled set of bonds maturing each year or every few years.
What if Market Conditions Change?
If you anticipate market conditions changing drastically you can break your calculation into 2 stages. For example, "bond king" Jeffrey Gundlach stated in December 2017 he expected the United States 10-year Treasury yield would hit 6% by 2020.
Significantly higher bond rates would likely force banks to pay investors higher rates of interest to attract capital to high yield savings accounts or CD investments.
You could either estimate the average interest rate you will receive during the duration of your investment or you could break your calculation down into 2 stages.
The next 5 years calculation starts with the $22,420.32 as the initial deposit then adjusts term to remaining 5 years at 4.5% interest.
The second option would be averaging the rates together to create a blended average rate.
Each of these strategies has strengths and weaknesses.
The strength of the second option is seeing estimated spending power of the set final number accounting for the compounded impacts of inflation throughout the entire investment period.
The strength of the first option is it is much quicker to do.
With either approach you are only going to get a rough approximation of performance as market conditions are quite unpredictable. That is plenty good enough in most cases though, because nobody can consistently predict the markets.
In 2007 almost nobody predicted the crisis of 2008. Fed Chairman Bernake claimed subprime was contained.
In 2008 almost nobody thought "emergency" monetary policies would last a decade.
In 2015 almost nobody (other than Scott Adams - the author of Dilbert) predicted the election of Donald Trump, which ushered in a large change to federal income taxes.
Even some of the greatest investors of all time tout how the irrationality of market behavior provides them greater returns.
James Clear wrote"Your odds of success improve when you are forced to direct all of your energy and attention to fewer tasks." Warren Buffett advocates making fewer higher-confidence investments rather than spreading oneself too thin.
A great way to have a sustainable competitive advantage in the market is to learn uncommon knowledge that does not change.
"When you learn something that doesn't change, you can step off the treadmill of keeping up and start to compound your knowledge. While this compounding may at first slow you down, it offers exponential returns. And what better investment can you make than learning, with deep fluency, timeless principles like second-order thinking, something that applies to a wide variety of situations and is likely to remain constant?"
"I very frequently get the question: 'What's going to change in the next 10 years?' And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. … [I]n our retail business, we know that customers want low prices, and I know that's going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It's impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, 'Jeff I love Amazon; I just wish the prices were a little higher,' [or] 'I love Amazon; I just wish you'd deliver a little more slowly.' Impossible. And so the effort we put into those things, spinning those things up, we know the energy we put into it today will still be paying off dividends for our customers 10 years from now. When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it."
A good rule of thumb is to try to save 20% of your net (after-tax) income each month. As part of the 50/30/20 rule it states you should spend a maximum of 50% of your check on life's necessities, up to 30% on discretionary spending & save at least 20% of your paycheck.
In some cases the above may not be possible, however the faster your save the more flexibility & freedome you give yourself in life.
How you invest & what you invest in are as important as how much you save. Regularly trading in and out of positions can incur high tax costs. Many 401(k) and IRA accounts come with high management fees that far exceed the value of the investment management services. Low-cost index funds can give a person close to market returns without spending much on management fees.
That's right: The 2% you paid every year would wipe out almost 40% of your final account value. 2% doesn't sound so small anymore, does it?

Trouble continues for Bay Area's independent…
Bay Area independent baseball league's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad offseason continues
Pittsburg Diamonds drops out, leaving league with 5 teams

SAN RAFAEL — Within a matter of hours Friday, the Bay Area's lone professional independent baseball league went from having five teams, to six, then back down to five again.
The Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, known for breaking barriers, publicity stunts, and random Jose Canseco appearances, now seems unable to field an even number of teams by its fast-approaching season opener in June after the Pittsburg Diamonds announced Friday that they were going on "hiatus."
The 2018 offseason has been one rife with problems: FBI raids, the city of Martinez pulling out, and now the Diamonds last-minute decision to drop out of the league.
Last year, the Pacific Association, which was founded in 2013, grew from four teams to six, with the Napa Silverados and Martinez Clippers joining the Pittsburg Diamonds, Vallejo Admirals, Sonoma Stompers and San Rafael Pacifics.
The league has made headlines for experimental stunts — like having a robot call balls and strikes, or a few three-game appearances by former Oakland A's slugger Jose Canseco — but also for inclusivity. It signed baseball's first openly gay player, Sean Conroy, and in 2017 Stacy Piagno became just the third woman to win a pro baseball game since the 1950s, when she pitched for the Stompers.
The trouble started in December, when the Martinez Clippers owners' home and Benicia business, DC Solar, were raided by the FBI. Federal investigators later accused the couple of running a "Ponzi scheme" and diverting investment funds to buy luxury items like $782,000 box seating in the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders' new stadium.
Predictably, the city of Martinez announced months later that the Clippers wouldn't be fielding a team in 2019. On Friday, the league announced it had found a replacement: the Kansas-based traveling club known as the Salina Stockade, dubbed 2017's worst pro team in baseball by the sports publication The Ringer.
It appeared that the dust was settling. But within hours of the announcement that the Salina Stockade was joining the league, the Diamonds said they were throwing in the towel.
A news release on the Diamonds' website says owners Khurram Shah and Wolfgang Croskey were struggling to find investors and sponsorship. The news release points out the Diamonds consistently ranked last in league attendance, but says the team plans to return in 2020 and hopes to remain in Pittsburg.
"We want to thank all the fans, host families and volunteers for the past four years," Shad said in the news release. "Without the support of everyone the Diamonds could not exist."
A schedule released Friday by the Sonoma Stompers contains only five teams and says each team will take several off-days on Sundays. That is a departure from prior schedules, which only had Monday off-days.

Certainly one of one of the most typical electrical wiring queries is regarding how to wire a switch. Even though employing switches at home is sort of quick, wiring just one may not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are actually various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common change (as well as the most basic).
You'll find a few colors of wires in a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them on the terminal screws - one particular on best along with the other over the base screw on the swap. The white wire serves being a source of uninterrupted electric power which is typically connected into a mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective swap.
These steps would generally be sufficient for making a normal change work without a dilemma. However, in the event you are certainly not self-assured that you simply can attain the task effectively and properly you much better permit the professionals do it in its place. Following all, there is a explanation why this task is without doubt one of the commonest electrical wiring thoughts questioned by most people.
For a few explanation, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is additionally one of by far the most popular electrical wiring queries. To simplify this undertaking, you need to use a single change for your single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it truly is only a issue of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan for the black wire of the change. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire ought to be related for the black wire on the swap also.
You will find explanations why they are one of the most typically asked electrical wiring thoughts. A single, lots of consider it really is basic to try and do, and two, these are definitely the prevalent electrical duties at home.

Miroslav Zaťko (ur. 27 stycznia 1984) – słowacki hokeista.

Kariera klubowa

Wychowanek klubu MHC Martin. Do 2012 występował w Unii Oświęcim. Od kwietnia 2012 zawodnik JKH GKS Jastrzębie (podpisał dwuletnią umowę). Od końca maja 2014 ponownie zawodnik klubu z Sanoka. Od października 2012 roku w sezonie 2012/2013, zgodnie ze zmianą w regulaminie PZHL, nie był wliczany do limitu obcokrajowców (z racji występów w Polskiej Lidze Hokejowej (PLH) nieprzerwanie od co najmniej 48 miesięcy) i z tego względu był traktowany jako gracz krajowy. Od czerwca 2015 zawodnik słowackiego klubu HK Dukla Trenczyn (wraz z nim gracze tego zespołu został inny były gracz Sanoka, Czech Martin Vozdecký). Od listopada 2015 ponownie zawodnik Żyliny. Od maja zawodnik GKS Tychy. Odszedł z klubu po sezonie 2016/2017. Od lipca 2017 zawodnik Orlika Opole. W czerwcu 2018 został graczem HC Nové Zámky. W czerwcu 2019 ponownie został graczem Unii Oświęcim. Po sezonie 2020/2021 odszedł z klubu.

Kwestia reprezentacyjna
Zawodnik występował w polskiej lidze na zasadzie gracza krajowego. W sierpniu 2010 roku wraz z innym Słowakiem Zoltánem Kubátem był sprawdzany przez selekcjonera Wiktora Pysza w meczach towarzyskich reprezentacji Polski. Czynił starania o polskie obywatelstwo. W 2011 roku został powołany do kadry Polski na mistrzostwa świata I dywizji, jednak ze względu na formalne nieotrzymanie polskiego obywatelstwa nie mógł wziąć udziału w turnieju. W sierpniu 2011 roku ponownie wystąpił w sparingowych meczach reprezentacji Polski, jednak formalnie nie będąc obywatelem Polski (Prezydent RP nie podpisał wniosku o nadanie mu obywatelstwa). Następnie przyjęcie polskiego obywatelstwa zostało wstrzymane z uwagi na zmianę przepisów słowackich, w myśl których przyjęcie obywatelstwa innego państwa przez obywatela słowackie pociąga sobą konieczność zrzeczenia się słowackiego obywatelstwa.

Wine Designer Saree With Embroidered Silk Blouse - Woven Fusion Of Banarasi & Raw Silk
According to a Chinese mythological story, a lady Hsi-Ling-Shih is known to introduce sericulture and also silk weaving looms at about 3000 BC. Sericulture is the farming of silk, where silkworms are cultivated to produce silk. This is done by processing the fibers silkworms produce which are combined into threads and later on woven into a cloth.
The silk fiber is thought of as a rich and luxurious good. While China was the one to introduce the production knowledge of silk fiber it spread to Korea, Japan, and India too later on, which reduced the export of silk from China. Silk was once worn by the emperors and the higher dignitaries of China.
Did you ever think of being sentenced to death for stealing silkworms?
Yes, thats true, for the monopoly China had over the production of silk, any attempt to export silkworms and their eggs, condemned to a decree or death. It would be surprising to know for us today that the Japanese had to manage to get silkworms from China and also they took 4 Chinese girls forcibly to learn the art of sericulture from them.
Today, all of us are fond of silk saree weaves because of the royal look it gives to our clothes and the richness and soft texture the silk fabric possesses.
Blouse Piece:Yes, this saree comes with a blouse piece of 0.8 meters.
Banarasi sarees are Indian sarees made in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh there is a city which is also called Banaras. The sarees are one of the finest sarees in India and are known as Banarasi Silk Saree. There is a reason why some of the biggest designers in the countries still include Banarasi in their creations because of its royalty.
KARAGIRI brings you this beautiful captivating Zari Woven Banarasi Saree with its enthralling beauty and enticing feel!
Banarasi sarees are exclusive and one of its kind classics! We pass them on to generations. So it is important to take care of them properly.
1. Never wash the banarasi saree at home. They might catch water stains. It is always recommended to dry clean them.
2. Fold them properly and store them in a muslin cloth. It is breathable and hence the sarees won't smell bad even after years.
3. Keep them in a dark corner of your cupboard. It prevents discoloration of the sarees over time.

In some cases, viruses are spread from a colleague's infected computer to yours. One thing that can happen when a computer becomes infected is that the virus will send itself in an email message attachment to everyone in the infected computer's address book, so it looks like it was sent by the recipient when in reality, the recipient had no idea that it was sent.
Another option for the Windows Dedicated or Virtual Private Server Plans is the McAfee/Diskeeper Bundle solution. This option will provide you with an Enterprise level Anti-virus solution that comes with Real-time virus protection, Email protection and other protections against malicious threats. This option has a monthly cost associated with it and can be seen here for Windows Dedicated Plans.
When choosing to utilize the Windows firewall built into the Windows 2003/2008 operating system, the following steps explain how Newtek recommends how you should setup the firewall.
2. Newtek monitors each dedicated server by using a ICMP monitor. Because of this, ICMP echo requests need to be allowed. ICMP can be turned on by clicking the settings button from the advanced tab in the Windows Firewall settings (note: you will only need to check Allow Incoming Echo request).
7. Two additional ports are required on dedicated servers for Newtek services which are TCP 743 and TCP 52155. Exceptions need to be created for these ports for your dedicated server to function correctly with Crystaltech's interface.


ELL Blog Series: Is Ebola a crisis for the poor?
Estelle Levin Limited (ELL) has been publishing a blog series called 'Living in the Shadows Ebola' since October 2014, that ELL associate Babar Turay has written on the effects of Ebola on Sierra Leone, and in particular its diamond mining district of Kono. This is the final blog in the much coveted series. The original blog post can be found here.
Now all blogs are available on our website and can be found here.
Is Ebola a crisis for the poor?
The world has learned from the crisis in West Africa that the Ebola virus disease respects no boundary. It transcends international boundaries, race, culture, tribe, and social class. This characteristic of the disease was a driving force for the international attention that the crisis experienced, especially during the peak periods at the end of 2014.
When senior medical people – who society valued and depended upon for health care – started dying in high numbers. When foreign health workers – who came to save the lives of helpless societies – started contracting the disease and taking it to some of the leading industrialised countries of the world. When cultures and virtues – that had united the Sierra Leonean people as a society for centuries – started giving way. When mothers saw their children and loved ones dying in pain – but dared not touch them. Then and there it became clear that this enemy recognises no limits; it is only interested in killing its victims and leaving anguish amongst societies, who are defenceless.
While we are unified by our mutual vulnerability against Ebola, this does not mean that everyone is vulnerable in the same way and to the same degree. Those members of the medical and humanitarian community who have laid their lives on the line for others are indeed heroic and have received recognition and commendation, and when necessary, world-class support and care. At the same time, the brunt of the Ebola crisis has been born by communities who were already the 'suffer-most'. These are the people who hardly get a square meal each day let alone have the required nourishment and strength to withstand a virulent disease such as Ebola. Simultaneously, the poorest Sierra Leoneans must make the most person-to-person contacts during their daily efforts to secure for the day's meal. This increases their possibility of contracting the disease and spreading it to their family members.
It was the poorest who suffered most when President Ernest Bai Koroma's Government declared a nationwide restriction on the movement of people and goods from one place to another in the third quarter of the year. Public transports – the only means of transportation available to such people – were completely halted. There was no one to listen to their reasons for movement, whether it was travelling with agricultural produce or for family matters.
The Ebola crisis' impact on agricultural production has been devastating to rural communities. The only means by which farmers make cash income is by selling their produce, on time. Whether the target market is weekly community centres or in the urban cities of Sierra Leone or in neighbouring countries, most of the produce, including vegetables and citrus fruits, is highly perishable. The community markets were the first to be barred during the crisis, followed by restrictions on inter-districts movements. Each restriction left rural farmers, who are already the poorest of the poor, with no option but to sit and watch the yield of a year's labour perish in their communities or farmlands. The reduction of public gathering in rural communities was explained as critical to breaking the chain of transmission; but the poor farmers continued to ask why the major markets in the cities continued functioning. Which has the tendency of bringing more people together: the rural community weekly markets or the city markets?
The crisis has affected the vulnerable in additional overlooked ways. Sanctions started biting poor, rural communities through the non-accessibility of basic commodities like salt and other condiments, fish and household utensils. News came through community radios that the international community was sending millions of US dollars worth of assistance, but it was never felt in the lives of the poorest communities. Instead, the assistance focused on confirmed Ebola-infected communities and persons, while other, poorer, communities were dying from hunger and preventable disease. One local farmer shared with me his experience of watching the big men in government and the private sector that had dealings with these funds who were driving the big cars.
The initial denial of the existence of the disease by people in rural communities was facilitated by their direct experience with unequal distribution of assistance; the poor witnessed the rich and powerful personally profiting from those suffering. Therefore, many people in rural communities have found it easy to believe that the people who were working on bringing the crisis under control (or stirring up attention to it) were doing it for the financial benefits they were deriving from it. Some people said that the country itself had caught 'monebola': making money out of Ebola. Recently, President Ernest Bai Koroma, in one of his speeches in Makeni, said that the people who were using Ebola funds on personal matters when other Sierra Leoneans were dying in their masses were dealing with blood monies. This merely confirmed what the poor already knew: there was a lot of corruption in the management of funds that were meant for bringing the Ebola crisis under control.
The crisis has affected every aspect of the Sierra Leonean society; every Sierra Leonean has been touched directly or indirectly. However, the story of the Ebola crisis will be told to generations to come by three categories of Sierra Leoneans: 'The Sufferers"; 'The Suffer-More'; and 'The Suffer-Most'. The poor, rural communities will be in the third category; they will have the bitterest stories to tell.
This is the last installment of a series of blogs for ELL, called 'Living in the Shadows Ebola', that our associate Babar Turay has been writing on the effects of ebola on Sierra Leone, and in particular its diamond mining district of Kono.


Long-term disability (LTD) benefits are an important financial safety net for many employees and their families in Florida. Unfortunately, insurance companies and the Florida Retirement System (FRS) deny too many of these claims. At Liebenhaut Law, we understand how overwhelming an LTD denial or termination can feel when you're unable to work and dealing with a chronic medical condition. Learn more about LTD claims and your legal rights below.
Long-term disability insurance is different from Social Security. While Social Security Disability and SSI are federal programs, most LTD claims involve a private insurance company. Many employers offer LTD coverage to their employees, while some employees purchase their own private LTD policies.
If the insurance company accepts your claim, you will start receiving benefit payments. If it's denied, you should immediately contact a Florida long-term disability lawyer.
How Do I Appeal an LTD Denial?
If your LTD claim was denied, don't give up. Most long-term disability insurance providers are for-profit companies that focus on their financial bottom line (rather than people's struggles). Insurance adjusters, even the seemingly nice ones, will look for any reason to deny a claim. Thankfully, you can appeal your long-term disability insurance denial.
The appeal process will vary, depending on whether your LTD plan is employer or self-funded. If the LTD plan is one of your employee benefits, you must follow a strict appeal process set out in the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). First, you must file an internal appeal with the long-term disability insurance company. If it denies this appeal, you can file a lawsuit in federal court. Remember to read your denial carefully and be aware of any pending deadlines you must meet in order to file your appeal or lawsuit.
If you have a private LTD policy, ERISA doesn't apply to your claim. Instead, Florida's contract and insurance laws apply. You can file a lawsuit in a Florida state court without bothering with an internal appeal.
Long-term disability appeals, especially ones involving ERISA, are highly complicated. You must meet strict filing deadlines, analyze insurance company documents, and interpret medical and vocational evidence. One small mistake, such as a late filing, can doom your claim. Rather than take this risk, you should strongly consider consulting with an experienced LTD attorney at Liebenhaut Law.
Regular disability retirement: benefits paid to disabled government workers who have a serious illness, medical condition, or injury. You must have eight years of service to qualify for regular disability retirement benefits.
Line of duty disability: benefits paid to government employees who are injured at work. You are eligible for line of duty disability on your first day of work.
While most people associate line of duty disability with first responders, such as police officers and firefighters, it's actually available to all government employees.
The process of filing an FRS claim is different than a LTD insurance policy. First, you'll have to complete a series of forms, which might include a Notice of Injury, an Application for Disability Retirement, and a series of statements from your employer and doctors. Once the state receives your completed forms, FRS will investigate your claim. Don't be surprised if they want to interview you, demand more information, or send you additional forms. Once its investigation is complete, FRS will send you a notice that either accepts or denies your claim.
If your claim is denied, you have the right to either appeal the decision or reapply. Because FRS appeals are very complicated, it's in your best interest to consult with a long term disability lawyer before responding to FRS' denial.
Do I Really Need a Long Term Disability Lawyer?
Long-term disability claims aren't simple matters. Most successful claims require extensive medical evidence and a careful analysis of your plan documents and the applicable disability laws. Most disabled employees can't do this on their own. At Liebenhaut Law, we offer our clients personalized claims strategies, compassionate advice, and aggressive legal representation. Contact us to schedule a no-risk consultation today.

I am sure, as we have listened to the messages of our brethren during these various sessions, we can't help but feel a deep appreciation in our hearts that the Lord saw fit to institute in his restored church the practice of holding conferences.
Just think of the inspiring counsel and advice we have had here to help us put our own lives in order, the lives of our loved ones, of our families, and of the young people. It has taught us how to treat our neighbors and friends, and in all that has been said here today, we have learned of the responsibilities that are ours in the political affairs in which we should participate in our own communities.
We have just listened to this lovely song, so beautifully rendered by our choir, "Oh, How Lovely Was the Morning." Just think, that is the most important message to go out to all the world today. In President Smith's opening address he said, "The Lord's work shall triumph. No power on earth can prevent the spread of truth and the preaching of the gospel in every nation."
In the general priesthood meeting last night he added, "The gospel shall roll forth until it shall fill the whole earth." If the gospel is going to roll forth and fill the whole earth, what a responsibility we Latter-day Saints have, with our families, in helping it to roll forth into all the earth. There is no message in this world today that could be told that would be as valuable to our neighbors and our friends who are not members of this church as to bear witness of this great event, about which the choir has just sung.
I think of the words of the apostle Peter of old. He said to the saints of his day:
"… ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; [Why?] that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." (1 Pet. 2:9.)
We have been admonished in this conference to let our light so shine, as Jesus said, that others seeing our good works may be led to glorify our Father which is in heaven. (See Matt. 5:16.)
Paul tells us: "… faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom. 10:17.)
"… and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? …" (Rom. 10:14–15.)
Therefore, there rests upon this people the great responsibility of bearing witness to the entire world of what the Lord has done in restoring his truth to the earth in this dispensation.
When Jesus was asked by his disciples for the sign of his second coming, you will recall he told them about the wars and rumors of wars, and pestilence, and earthquakes, and famine, and that nation should rise against nation. And then he added:
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt. 24:14.)
Where would one look today to find that gospel of the kingdom that Jesus referred to? Not according to man's interpretation of the scriptures, but where the divine power rests, such as Jesus gave to his Twelve when he said:
"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you. …" (John 15:16.)
"… and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. …" (Matt. 16:19.)
Anybody could organize a church and take from the scriptures certain passages and base their church upon that, but how can they take a living branch from a dead tree? How can they put in it the power and the authority to act in the name of the Lord?
They couldn't do that any more than they could act for the mayor of the city, the governor of the state, or the president of the United States, without being duly commissioned so to do. Neither can any work effectively in the kingdom of our Father in heaven unless they have divine authority given to them by those who have the right to so convey it.
And so we stand here as witnesses of the restoration of the gospel and bear our witness to all the world that we do know that Christ lives, that our Father lives, that they have visited this earth. As was sung in that song about the Prophet Joseph, he announced that in answer to his inquiry as to which of all the churches he should join, he was told he should join none of them, for they taught for doctrines the commandments or precepts of men.
I think if people were just open-minded, it wouldn't be so hard for them to know where to find the truth. Of course, we take the Bible as our guide to help us in our search for the truth. I have always been greatly impressed by the experience that Elder Orson F. Whitney had. He was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, and he related this in one of our conferences. I would like to read it to you. He said:
"Many years ago a learned man, a member of the Roman Catholic Church, came to Utah and spoke from the stand of the Salt Lake Tabernacle. I became well-acquainted with him, and we conversed freely and frankly. A great scholar, with perhaps a dozen languages at his tongue's end, he seemed to know all about theology, law, literature, science and philosophy. One day he said to me: 'You Mormons are all ignoramuses. You don't even know the strength of your own position. It is so strong that there is only one other tenable in the whole Christian world, and that is the position of the Catholic Church. The issue is between Catholicism and Mormonism. If we are right, you are wrong; if you are right, we are wrong; and that's all there is to it. The Protestants haven't a leg to stand on. For, if we are wrong, they are wrong with us, since they were a part of us and went out from us; while if we are right, they are apostates whom we cut off long ago. If we have the apostolic succession from St. Peter, as we claim, there is no need of Joseph Smith and Mormonism; but if we have not that succession, then such a man as Joseph Smith was necessary, and Mormonism's attitude is the only consistent one. It is either the perpetuation of the gospel from ancient times, or the restoration of the gospel in latter days.'" (LeGrand Richards, A Marvelous Work and a Wonder [Deseret Book Co., 1950], pp. 3–4.)
It seems to me that if people would just think, they must come to the conclusion that this is a correct statement, if they want to find the gospel that Jesus said is the everlasting gospel that should be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations before he would come again to the earth.
One can't study the holy scriptures without knowing that the prophets have declared an apostasy from the original church. When John the Revelator was banished on the Isle of Patmos, the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him: "Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." (Rev. 4:1.)
Then he showed him all things from the war in heaven to the final winding-up scene, and he showed him the power that would be given to Satan to make war with the saints (and the saints were the followers of Christ in his church); and he said that power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations. (See Rev. 13:7.) Why should that be in the holy scriptures if the gospel was to remain upon the earth from the days of St. Peter down to the present time?
Paul was constantly warning the people in his day that they should not look for the coming of Jesus until there should be a falling away, and the man of sin would be revealed. (See 2 Thes. 2:1–4.) And others of the prophets have likewise testified of the day when there should be a famine in the land. The prophet Amos said:
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
"And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it." (Amos 8:11–12.)
Why? Because it was not upon the earth to be found.
If the gospel were to remain upon the earth, then when the angel of the Lord showed John that Satan would make war with the saints and overcome all kindreds and tongues and nations, he would have had to make an exception for those who still possessed the everlasting gospel. That is a witness that the truth should not be upon the earth at that time.
The scriptures are replete with promises of a restoration in the latter days. I like the statement by Peter following the day of Pentecost, when he said to those who had put to death the Christ:
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
"And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
"Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." (Acts 3:19–21.)
If Peter was a prophet of God, we can't look forward to the second coming of Christ, and neither can the world, without a restitution—and not a reformation. There is a great difference between remodeling an old house and building a new one. As far as I know, in all the missionary work that I have done, there is no other church in this world that claims a restitution of all things, as was spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began.
This event we heard sung by the choir—of the coming of the Father and the Son—was followed by Moroni, a prophet who lived upon this earth 400 years after the time of Christ, and he brought the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated.
John the Baptist, who was beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, returned as a resurrected being and conferred upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood, with power to baptize by immersion for the remission of sins. He told them that later the Melchizedek Priesthood would be restored, which would be the power to administer the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Peter, James, and John, the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, who were with him on the Mount of Transfiguration, returned and brought back that Melchizedek Priesthood. Could all the money in the world buy things that would mean as much to the children of our Father in heaven as these events that transpired? And what could come to us individually, and to our families and to our friends and our loved ones, like the coming of these holy messengers?
And that isn't all. Then there came Elijah the Prophet, of whom Malachi spoke, that were it not for his coming before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming. He said:
"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Mal. 4:6.)
That opened the door for an understanding of the words of the apostle Paul, when he said that the Lord had revealed the mystery of his will unto him:
"That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth. …" (Eph. 1:10.)
We live in the dispensation of the fulness of times, and the coming of Elijah has brought the keys of his mission, and that is why we build these holy temples. That is why we have this great genealogical program, the like of which can't be found anywhere in all this world. And so the prophets have foreseen the coming of these holy prophets.
John, while he was on the Isle of Patmos, didn't only see the power that Satan would have to make war with the saints and to reign over them all, but he "saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." (Rev. 14:6.)
This would not have been necessary if there had been a continuation of the gospel. And then he said: "Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come. …" (Rev. 14:7.) And we live in the day of his judgment.
Then he adds: "… and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Rev. 14:7.)
At the time that Joseph Smith had his marvelous vision, there wasn't a church in the world worshiping the God who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the fountains of waters, and created man in his own image. They worshiped an essence everywhere present. They described him as being without body, parts, or passions, who sits on the top of a topless throne, and that is about the best explanation of nothing as a person could write. If he doesn't have a body, how could he speak? How could he hear? How could he understand and talk?
Moses made mention of this when he was leading the children of Israel into the promised land. He told them that they would not remain there long, but that they would be scattered among the nations, and then he said: "And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell." (Deut. 4:28.)
That is the kind of god this world was worshiping at the time Joseph Smith had his marvelous vision.
But Moses saw something more. He saw that in the latter days (and we live in the latter days), if his people would search for him, they should surely find him. (See Deut. 4:29.) And Joseph Smith, answering that admonition in James, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5), went and sought after him, as Moses advised, and he found the true and the living God. We have a testimony to bear to all of the world to this event.
I think of the words of the apostle Paul when he said that he determined to know nothing but Jesus and him crucified. (See 1 Cor. 2:2.) That doesn't mean that he didn't know the old prophets or appreciate them, but a new day had come.
The Son of God had come, of whom the prophets had spoken, and then he said: "… for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" (1 Cor. 9:16.)
In that same sense, we know nothing but the restoration of the gospel, that it was brought by the Son of Man himself, so that there is no separation from the prophets of this dispensation, and woe be unto us if we share not these marvelous truths with the world!
Brothers and sisters, I know that this is the work of God the Eternal Father. It is the greatest movement in all the world today. There isn't an honest man or an honest woman in this world, who really loves the Lord, who wouldn't join this church if they would take time to find out what it is and would ask God the Eternal Father, who will not mislead them.
That is my witness and testimony to you, and I leave it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hitmen fall in shootout to Giants

Nobody could have blamed the Calgary Hitmen for looking a little lethargic on Monday afternoon.
They were taking to the ice for their fifth game in seven days, after all, and hadn't had much time to recover from Sunday afternoon's New Year's Day overtime loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings.
Hitmen fall in shootout to Giants Back to video
So when the Hitmen (14-17-3-1) gave up a two-goal lead in the dying minutes of their Monday afternoon tilt with the Vancouver Giants (14-20-1-2) and then lost 5-4 in a shootout, they easily could have pointed to the WHL schedule makers as an excuse.
That's not what the Hitmen did, though.
"No, I don't think we can use that as an excuse," said Hitmen forward Matteo Gennaro, who scored two goals and added two assists. "If you watch the game from start-to-finish I think we controlled the pace of the game the whole 60 minutes and I thought we forechecked very well and had a lot of offensive-zone time and created a lot more chances than they did."
It was a particularly frustrating loss for the Hitmen, as they did get the better of the Giants for large portions of the game.
Neither team could capitalize on their opportunities in the first period, but a 50-second mental lapse by the Hitmen early in the second saw goals from Ty Ronning and Tyler Benson put the Giants ahead.
Jakob Stukel and Gennaro would both score before the end of the second frame to even things up by intermission, and Gennaro and Beck Malenstyn would find the back of the net to give the Hitmen a 4-2 lead early in the third.
That should have been it. The Hitmen were ahead with momentum on their side – in front of a home crowd, too – but somehow it all fell apart.
"Being up 4-2 in the third period and giving up that lead and them coming back and capitalizing, it's tough," Stukel said, before agreeing with Gennaro that the physical demands of playing so many games in such a short period hadn't been a factor. "I think it's just a lack of kind of competing after goals. We were up 4-2 and that's the time where you want to really take advantage of it and keep our momentum, but I think we kind of sat back a little bit and they capitalized on it.
"Playing five games in seven days is obviously tough, but we've got to find ways to take care of our bodies and be ready for the game."
Making the loss even more frustrating is the fact that in the five games the Hitmen have played since the Christmas break, they've only come away with one victory.
Every game has been close, though, and they've now dropped points in two shootouts, as well as Sunday's overtime loss to the Oil Kings. Their other loss was a one-goal defeat at the hands of the Medicine Hat Tigers, one of the WHL's elite teams.
With the Hitmen currently on the outside looking in at the WHL's playoff bracket, they need to start turning some of those close games into wins, and they left Monday's tilt feeling as if they'd blown a golden opportunity to pick up points off a team that's even further back in the standings than they are.
"I think we just took our foot off the gas a bit and it just bit us in the butt," Malenstyn said. "It was mental lapses. We train three or four months in the off-season to be able to handle a schedule like this."
The Hitmen will now have a couple days to rest up before returning to the ice on Jan. 6 for an away game against the Regina Pats.

Mike Ryder, front, and Brad Adamo; both Marina da Gama residents, waist deep in the water in the canals.
Good news is rare, but environmental warriors in Marina da Gama are celebrating the installation of a second rubbish net in their waterways.
Mike Ryder has received funding – R5000 each – from the Marina da Gama Business Association and the Zandvlei Trust for costs of the two canal nets.
On Friday, April 13, Mike Ryder and fellow resident in Marina da Gama, Brad Adamo, pulled on waders and sloshed through the waterways, installing the second net.
They had installed the previous net the week before. This was a victory for the environmental warriors. Mr Ryder lobbied for these nets for a year.
The marina is the last point it can all flow into. From there, if not prevented, the heavy influx of rubbish is either trapped in the Marina da Gama waterways; or if the mouth to Zandvlei Estuary is open, this rubbish could wash out to sea.
Brad Adamo said he lives in the area, walks his dogs along the waterways and has young children. He believes that taking action himself is the least he can do to give back to the community. "This isn't our world, it belongs to our children.
Mike's desperation to find solutions saw him raise the ire of some who criticised his angry Facebook posts but his persistence has won ground, and has rallied support from other environmental warriors.
Mike shrugs off all labels and praise. All he wants is to prevent what he sees as the inevitable crush of a mass of rubbish which is building up, upstream.
He is thrilled about the nets, but is still pushing for the canals upstream to be cleaned before big rains come.
"My appeals for funding and replacement of the canal nets began nearly a year ago.
"The intention was to reinstall nets that could capture the majority of rubbish that came down the canal under what we know to be steady, high flow, winter conditions," he said.
Although new, Mike said these nets cannot and will not resist what he terms the tsunami of rubbish that will wash down that canal when the first heavy rains fall.
He gives the following reasons for this.
The rubbish is so widespread that choke points and natural dams will form until one upstream/ choke point fails, and that comes rushing down taking the others, like falling dominoes.
The toast rack litter traps, which have not been repaired/ extended/widened/or modified in any way will be totally overwhelmed again and the rubbish will bypass them and head for the nets.
pread in the canals, especially Langevlei.
He said that six months ago there was only rubbish to be concerned about.
"Now there is a biomass of literally hundreds of tonnes waiting to be washed down … this will block the toast racks almost immediately and be exceedingly difficult to remove once compressed onto the rails.
He said he is warning all concerned that if a severe cold front is predicted with heavy rains before the canals are substantially cleared that he will withdraw the nets either partially or totally or risk them breaking.
"I will not be held responsible for any overflow damage/flooding etc. I am not an expert on hydrodynamics by any means, and will act on the side of caution.
"If others wish for the nets to remain in place under such conditions, they are welcome, providing they are happy to take responsibility for possible consequences," he said.
He called Mike and Brad heroes for the work they do and said all credit goes to them for their passion and campaigning, as well as the personal action they take to create positive change.
"The idea is to bring all the clean-ups and volunteer groups under one platform, hopefully under Zandvlei Trust, so it can be better advertised to the broader community as well become a central point for data collection," Mr Rack said.
Mr Rack said that the litter and plastic in the vlei has reached its peak and plateaued and is still way way too much.
There are, he says, areas waist deep that have not been touched. "The plastic that is in the reeds is leaching toxic chemicals into Zandvlei so haste is needed.
He is hoping to map the different groups in a public space and then co-ordinate not only small areas but one giant Zandvlei cleanup.
Mr Rack has become involved in the start up of Capricorn Cleanup and said the Mfuleni clean-up is starting soon. Mr Rack recently spoke in Athlone in an advisory capacity and there is a group of keen residents there who are on board to learn about caring for the environment.
The Muizenberg clean-ups are sponsored by the MID.
They clean up once a month, the first Saturday of the month at Shark Spotters between 9am and11am. Search for Muizenberg-BeachClean-up on Facebook for details.
The west bank picnic area clean-ups are managed and sponsored by the Muizenberg Lakeside Residents' Association.
Brad Adamo and Mike Ryder check on the first net they put in a week before.

Ibiza wellness: Ibiza Retreats – Introducing Can Luminosa
As the island's most respected and long-running health, wellness and yoga retreat organisation, Ibiza Retreats are experts when it comes to creating tailor-made transformational experiences for their discerning clientele. This includes designing and developing the right spaces for such escapes and 2018 sees the team open their second exclusive retreat location in Ibiza: Can Luminosa. Set within a beautifully restored finca and tower perched high on a mountain in the north of the island, the newly renovated property takes retreat living to the next level in terms of luxury, elegance, style and experience alike.
"It's always been our dream to have a mountaintop location where you have as much nature as you do building," says Ibiza Retreats founder Larah Davis. "The views are breathtaking and immediately serve to relax your mind and open your vision. We want people to take a breath and get ready to exhale up there. To feel, heal and transform." The vision for Can Luminosa was to create a retreat space that exuded light-infused elegance while retaining the simplicity one needs for headspace on retreat. Whereas Casa Lakshmi Luz, the first retreat location opened by Ibiza Retreats, boasts a warm, welcoming and loving bohemian chic vibe, Can Luminosa reflects the needs of the heart-based organisation's ever-growing list of corporate clients, high-flying world-travellers and high-level brands.
"Our retreats have always been inclusive," explains co-director Susie Howell. "That's what makes Ibiza Retreats so beautiful. We want everyone to be able to access the experience, no matter what background they are from. With the launch of Can Luminosa, we now have the space to respond to the needs of both our most discerning private clients and our corporate clients on the level they desire when bringing their teams to Ibiza." Personalised service and attention to detail has always been at the heart of the Ibiza Retreats ethos, with a maximum of 12 guests welcomed on each of their signature group retreats to ensure a customised experience for each and every retreat-goer.
Can Luminosa possesses all the high-end finishes of a luxury Ibiza villa or five-star boutique hotel combined with the creature comforts of a retreat venue. From the moment you step over the threshold, it is instantly apparent you've arrived at a space of healing. From the fresh countryside air, fragrant with pine, thyme and rosemary to iconic views across the lush green hills and over the Mediterranean Sea to Formentera, made even more magical as the sun sets right before your eyes each night, it is as if the mountain was put there by Mother Nature to hold space for you. Some seriously impressive man-made elements, such as an infinity bio-pool, a tranquil yoga shala, beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces and bedrooms based on the healing vibrations and frequencies of different crystals, are the icing on the Can Luminosa cake.
"Most of our clients on retreat are coming out of big city or urban life or straight from a very digitally enhanced workspace," says Larah of the desire to embrace and enhance the natural surroundings of Can Luminosa. "They are subjected to a huge amount of electromagnetic frequencies in daily life and this is proven to send us into an inflammatory state. It's been shown that we can regulate this by walking barefoot in nature – called 'earthing' – and we have swept pathways for this across the entire mountaintop to create an amazing mandala installation with a centre point in the middle of a spiral maze." She explains that the symbol of a spiral represents taking you inwards to connect with yourself at a deeper level, then to expand out again. "This is what all of our retreats do, in amazing, inspired, positive ways."
In addition to the grounding natural pathways, the 'Magic Forest' at Can Luminosa also offers space for sound-healing circles, shamanic drumming, mantra chanting and meditation, plus chill out areas and perfectly placed hammocks strung between trees for many moments of self-reflection. The saltwater swimming pool is the ideal place to cool off on hot summer days, and on those occasions the island is blessed by rain, wood-burning fires create a cosy warmth indoors. Geographically, the property is above the famous towers of Balafia, which in ancient times was considered a place of sanctuary for Ibicencos – women and children would retreat to the area when the island was invaded. "The sense of retreat here is really beautiful," says Larah. "You feel like you are coming home to the heartland of Ibiza."
Understanding that a good night's sleep is priority for clients on retreat, extra attention has been paid to the design of each bedroom at Can Luminosa. "Around 60-percent of people who come to us have sleeping issues," says Larah. "This has become the norm in modern life and we want you to feel like you're floating on a cloud from heaven when you sleep here." The finishes and flourishes of each room are based on different crystals and the healing energies of their colourways and vibrations. "We are working on every sensory level to empower your healing frequency," says Larah. "From healing music that will be piped around the property to crystals placed in each room to refract light and offer naturally mood-enhancing colour-therapy."
The cuisine concept at Can Luminosa continues along the healing pathway, with a strong focus on using medicinal plants and the herbs found growing in abundance on Ibiza in all meals. "We're going beyond creating healing herbal teas with island herbs," says Larah. "We're now working with a naturopathic nutritionist to infuse all our superb, flavour-filled food with locally sourced produce and the healing herbs that were once used as preventative medicine. They use this method in India, with Ayurvedic cuisine and so we're upping our ante in this department so people can also bring the concept back into their daily lives after the retreat is over."
Acknowledging the over-use of digital devices in our daily lives, a frequency neutralising altar complete with Ibiza salt, crystals and flowers is set up for clients to leave their phones at the beginning of each retreat, with designated areas set aside for those times when they may need to communicate with their families or workplace. "It's about mindfulness with your own media usage and consciously creating the physical and emotional space you need to retreat with us," explains Larah. "We're very clear that Can Luminosa is a sacred space where people need their own privacy to be able to go through their own processes safely."
Doors officially open on May 1, 2018 with the first scheduled retreat at Can Luminosa commencing on May 5. The retreat calendar includes their signature five group retreats which welcome individual guests: the popular Nourish Women's empowerment, Harmonise Life Detox & Mindfulness Yoga retreat, Get Glowing Vinyasa Flow and Energy Recharge, Rejuvenate Holistic Fitness & Nutrition escape and the new for 2018, 'The Bliss Sanctuary'.
Ibiza Retreats are also set to launch a series of all-new Family Friendly Yoga B&B retreats to cater for the increasing demand from mothers and fathers needing self-time and self-care, plus the need to forge screen-free connections with their growing broods, while also on offer are Healthy Hens plus Team-Empowerment and Corporate Brand Building wellness escapes. In addition to the calendar of events, Can Luminosa and Casa Lakshmi are both also available for bespoke retreat experiences, or to provide a base for other retreat leaders and teachers from around the globe who are looking to host their own retreats in Ibiza.
