President Donald Trump Urges North Korea to Discuss Giving Up Nuclear Weapons

During his visit to South Korea, President Donald Trump has urged North Korea to “come to the table” and discuss giving up its nuclear weapons.

Striking a different tone from previous fiery rhetoric, the president said he “hoped to God” he did not have to use the US military against North Korea.

Donald Trump was speaking at a press conference with South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in in Seoul, as part of his tour of Asia.

The president has previously threatened “fire and fury” against North Korea.

Donald Trump is on a five-nation tour of Asia, where Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions have been high on his agenda.

At a press conference, Presidents Trump and Moon reiterated their call for Pyongyang to denuclearize, with Donald Trump saying it “makes sense for North Korea to come to the table”, and to “do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world”.

The two leaders also called on China and Russia to put pressure on North Korea, and said they were lifting the limit on South Korean missile payloads, which they had agreed to do in September.

President Trump also said that South Korea would be ordering “billions of dollars” in military equipment from the US, which he said would reduce their trade deficit.

It was unclear if a deal was already struck, but Moon Jae-in said they had agreed to “begin consultations on acquisitions” that would enhance South Korea’s defense capabilities.

President Trump had earlier tweeted that “massive military and energy order” from Japan were also happening, and claimed on November 6 that Japan could shoot down North Korea’s missiles with US equipment.

Japan’s PM Shinzo Abe said earlier that he was considering it.

Though the President Trump will only spend about 24 hours in South Korea, it is perhaps the most symbolic stop in his Asian tour.

His visit is designed to bolster the military alliance that has long protected South Korea, and strength in unity is the message they want to send to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un just across the border.

However, the two presidents also have their differences. President Trump has previously accused Moon Jae-in’s government of trying to appease North Korea.

Donald Trump has also previously criticized the free trade agreement between the US and South Korea, and has made clear he wants to re-negotiate its terms.

During the press conference, President Trump said the deal had been “quite unsuccessful” for the US, and that the two countries were going to “pursue a much better deal”.

Protests against Donald Trump, as well as counter-rallies welcoming him, have been held in Seoul and elsewhere.

President Trump will be going to China, Vietnam and the Philippines in the coming week.

The fact that the promotion lasts for two months means that you get plenty of time to hit that huge multiplier and fly up the leaderboard.

How Does The Tournament Work?

The leaderboard itself can be viewed within all of the qualifying games by clicking on the right-hand side menu. The top nine players with the biggest multipliers will claim a prize and these prizes range from £200 up to a huge £2,000 for the top spot.

  • 4th – 9th: €/£/$ 200

Take note that all the prizes are awarded as a bonus with a 10x wagering requirement attached.

How Do You Qualify For The Tournament?

It’s easy to qualify and the only deposit requirement is that you need to have made at least one deposit in your time at the casino.

All you need to do is wager at least £1 per on any of the qualifying games with the maximum bet being stated as £5 per spin in the terms and conditions.

Go green and pay your home off faster

Go green and pay your home off faster

14 May 2019

Boosting your home's energy and water efficiency will not only help you cut costs and sidestep the effects of load-shedding and water restrictions, but could also assist you to reduce the time it takes to pay off your bond by several years.

That's the word from Rudi Botha, CEO of SA's leading bond originator BetterBond, who says that the ever-rising cost of municipal electricity and water supplies is having a negative effect on most household budgets, so it's not surprising that home owners and buyers are increasingly focused on energy- and water-saving measures as well as alternative power supply systems.

"These range from LED lights and proper insulation to energy-efficient appliances, solar geysers, generators, solar panels and wind turbines - and the good news is that these 'green' choices can also help you to become bond-free in much less time than you originally thought."

The way to do this, he says, is to use the savings generated from energy-efficient living to increase your bond repayment every month, or to make an additional bond payment once or twice a year.

"For example, if you were able to cut R500 a month off your electricity bill and add it to your bond instalment, you could pay off a bond of R1m (at an interest rate of 10,25%) in just over 17 years instead of 20 - and reduce the total cost of your home by R221 000 in the process."

And such savings are not actually that difficult to achieve, notes Botha, if you add up all the ways that you can reduce electricity and water consumption from the municipal grid. For instance, just replacing 10 incandescent bulbs around the house with LED lights would save you at least R1350 a year in electricity consumption. And even though these bulbs are somewhat more expensive to start with, they typically have a lifespan of about 12 years (as opposed to four years for CFLs and six months for incandescents) so you won't have to pay those costs again for a long time.

"Green" ceiling insulation made from recycled paper or plastic can significantly reduce the cost of heating and cooling your home, which accounts for a large percentage of your electricity bill, and you can make further savings by steadily replacing your old appliances with energy-efficient models.

To make things even easier, the Department of Energy recently introduced a new energy-efficiency labelling standard for new appliances sold in SA - and a cellphone application which allows consumers to calculate and compare the estimated annual running costs of any labelled appliances before they buy them. (See https://app.savingenergy.org.za/ ).

To save money on water, he says, your best move is to install rainwater tanks - or buy a home which already has them installed. If you also implement water-saving measures in your home, it is quite possible to consume less than 100L per person per day, while about 2000L can be harvested from the average roof in an hour of moderate rainfall.

And talking of water, the geyser is probably the single biggest power-gobbler in the house, accounting for approximately 30% of the average electricity bill, so of course it makes sense to replace it with a solar geyser as soon as you can afford to do so, and let the sun heat all your hot water for free. Or better still, buy a home which already has a solar geyser, as many newly-built homes now do.

However, you can also achieve considerable savings through the simple expedient of turning your geyser off during the hours when there is no demand for hot water and investing in a geyser "blanket". Geysers only need to be on for about two hours to produce piping hot water which will stay hot for many hours if it is properly insulated.

Generators are useful during load-shedding but won't really help you save money to put into your bond account because of the high cost of the petrol or diesel needed to run them. So converting to a solar power system with photo-voltaic panels and batteries is a better - and long-lasting - option, even though it is initially more costly.

On average such systems pay for themselves within 7,5 years, and that period gets shorter as electricity tariffs get higher and your other energy efficiencies kick in. "What is more," says Botha, "your electricity bill will effectively be zero after that, and you can then put the whole amount that you used to pay the municipality, or most of it, towards paying off your bond.

"If you have 14 years to go on your R1m bond, for example, and you then start adding an extra R3000 to your monthly instalment, you will pay off your house in exactly nine years instead, and lower the total cost by more than R353 000 cost in the process.

"What is more, you will substantially increase the resale appeal and value of your property by making it 'green' and providing future owners with the opportunity to also save on utilities."

There's never been a better Time to Bond

Easy Ways to Add More Collage to Your Diet - Better Nutrition

Easy Ways to Add More Collagen to Your Diet

We know the amazing benefits of having collagen in the body for everything from youthful skin to gut health. But because collagen production naturally declines as we age, it’s important to supplement with this vital protein. Here's how.
Publish date:
Easy ways to add more collagen to your diet, including bone broth and hydrolyzed powders.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. In fact, it accounts for one-third of the total protein in our bodies, and 70 percent of the protein in our skin. It provides the structure in connective tissue and is found in our bones, tendons, ligaments, gut, hair, and nails. There are many types of collagen, but 90 percent of the collagen in the body is types 1, 2, and 3.

Collagen is made from the protein we eat. Protein helps rebuild damaged joint tissues and produce healthy cartilage, which is another type of collagen. But while our bodies make collagen, this production decreases as we age. Environmental factors such as pollution, and lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition, can also diminish collagen production.

Our ancestors utilized whole-animal nutrition, which naturally provided an abundant amount of collagen. Bone broths, good sources of collagen, are staples in the traditional diets of most every culture. This protein also made its way into early diets through slow-cooked shanks, necks, feet, oxtails, and ribs, as well as in whole-fish soups and stews. Few people prepare and eat these foods today, so virtually none of us are getting much collagen in our diets. And that’s not good, because this multitasking protein performs numerous key functions in the body.

Collagen Roles and Benefits

Collagen is critical for smooth, healthy skin, and research suggests that supplementation might counteract some signs of aging. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that collagen supplements used daily among women ages 35–55 for eight weeks significantly improved skin elasticity. In another double-blind study, women who took a collagen supplement daily experienced a 20 percent reduction in wrinkle depth around their eyes after eight weeks.

Some people report other benefits from collagen supplementation, such as healthier hair and nails, improved wound healing, a decrease in cellulite, and even speedier recovery from injury. Mark Sisson, Paleo diet expert at Mark’s Daily Apple blog, wrote that when he suffered an Achilles tendon injury, he experienced dramatic healing after he began supplementing with collagen.

Many people also report that their joints become less achy and stiff when they supplement with collagen. Studies have shown that supplemental collagen provides improvement in some measures of pain and function in people with osteoarthritis or other arthritic conditions.

Collagen might also help with post-exercise muscle recovery. A study by the Department of Nutrition and Sports Nutrition for Athletics at Penn State University found that when student athletes supplemented with collagen over the course of 24 weeks, the majority showed a significant improvement in joint comfort, along with a decrease in factors that negatively impacted athletic performance.

Ways to Get More Collagen

You can get collagen from foods such as gelatin used in recipes (yes, this includes Jell-O), but the best-known food source is bone broth (sometimes called stock), long revered as a healing food.

Collagen Rich Foods:

  • gelatin
  • bone broth

You can get collagen from foods such as gelatin used in recipes (yes, this includes Jell-O), but the best-known food source is bone broth (sometimes called stock), long revered as a healing food. Bone broth is easily digestible, and it may help strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation and symptoms during illness.

Nutrient-rich bone broth might also aid in muscle recovery after intense exercise or injury. Kobe Bryant and some other L.A. Lakers basketball players credit bone broth with helping them recover from injuries and extend their careers.

You can make your own bone broth in a slow cooker, or if you’re short on time, simply buy a high-quality bone broth made from pastured, organic chicken bones or organic grass-fed beef bones, such as Bonafide Provisions Restorative Bone Broth.

A convenient way to get a quick collagen boost is to eat a sustaining, low-sugar food bar that contains collagen. Primal Kitchen Coconut-Cashew Bar with Grass-Fed Collagen and Bulletproof Vanilla Shortbread Collagen Protein Bar are two tasty examples.

Collagen Supplements

There are many different types and forms of collagen supplements available. Consider a collagen powder, which is probably the easiest to use. And look for hydrolyzed collagen, also called collagen hydrolysate or collagen peptides. In this form, the protein has been broken down into smaller peptides, which are easier to digest and more absorbable.

Also look for a brand that is non-GMO; free of common allergens, fillers, binders, and sweeteners; and derived from sustainable animal sources. Vital Proteins, for example, makes collagen peptides sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hides from Brazil, and Marine Collagen is sourced from wild-caught, non-GMO red snapper.

Hydrolyzed collagen powder is relatively tasteless and odorless, and blends quickly and easily in cold and warm drinks just by stirring. You can add it to water, almond, or coconut milk; hot drinks; and soups and stews. The most popular way to consume it is just by mixing it into a daily cup of coffee or tea.

An important caveat: Before you start supplementing, be aware that while many people experience benefits and no side effects from taking hydrolyzed collagen, some people have reported developing uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and headaches. It’s not known exactly why this happens. Some have found that they don’t suffer the same side effects when switching to a different form or brand. If you experience symptoms, it may be a good idea to start with very small amounts and slowly build up to the recommended daily dosage, or stop taking it altogether.

Another approach is to try supplements that help boost the body’s production of collagen naturally—the top nutrients for this are vitamin C, biotin, hyaluronic acid, and silica. Or you can just drink organic bone broth. It’s the best-tolerated, time-tested choice.

James 3:1-12

Controlling the Tongue

1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment;
2 for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says,a he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.b
3 Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal.c
4 And consider ships: though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
5 So too, though the tongue is a small part [of the body], it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites.
6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our [bodies]; it pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.
7 For every creature-animal or bird, reptile or fish-is tamed and has been tamed by man,
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless ourd Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in God's likeness.
10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things should not be this way.
11 Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening?
12 Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grapevine [produce] figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.

The media is abuzz with talks of climate change. It’s really effective the attention it brings to our environment, about the effects humans and our industries have had on the planet. It’s time to roll back those effects.

More and more people are looking towards green and eco-friendly ways of doing most of the things we do, from generating electricity, adding the new style front door call a aaa locksmith to secure your doors and to building your home. You, for example, are here to find new ways to build your eco home. In this article, we’ll discuss what it means to have a green home and then share those ideas with you. Then we will show you examples of the best green buildings in the world, hoping to inspire your home construction.

What does it mean to have a Green and Eco-friendly Home?

There is no exhaustive list of criteria to be fulfilled for a building to be recognized as eco-friendly. Besides, not everyone agrees on this point. However, certain elements are unanimous.

aaa locksmith

Thus, green construction is made from natural materials and non-toxic to people and nature. It must, therefore, be healthy and protect the environment. This also involves reducing energy consumption, in particular thanks to particularly effective thermal insulation. In any event, the energies used are renewable. In addition, an ecological building produces as little waste as possible and optimizes the management of resources such as water.

A green building is built with this definition in mind and aims to significantly reduce its environmental impact.

Ideas to construct a Green & Eco-friendly Home

1. Insulate the walls, roof, and floor of your house

An ecological house is a house that saves energy! Insulation of the facades will then allow you to keep the heat inside. For this, you can go to hemp which is a recyclable material. It is also effective against rodents. For the roof, use linen. Note that 30% of the heat escapes through the roof so you know where to start!

2. Also, insulate your windows

10 to 15% of the heat escapes from the windows so don’t forget about them during your insulation work! Regarding solutions, you can turn to different types of glazing, whether double or triple. Some may even allow you to retain heat from the sun and send it to your heating system.

3. Choose natural materials

And you have the choice, there are several environmentally friendly materials. Wood has been used for a long time, unlike steel, which is gradually being installed as an innovative solution. Building an ecological house is not very expensive, you can even turn to straw! Despite popular belief, this material is very resistant and above all inexpensive.

4. Use renewable sources of energy

Even if your house is completely insulated, the heating installation is necessary to cope with winter temperatures. And good news, ecological heaters are now very efficient! As the latter recovers the energy present in the air, the sun, and even the forests, this decreases the rate of emission of greenhouse gases. A good point for the planet!

5. Let your home be a net-positive energy home

A net-positive energy home is one that produces more energy than it consumes. The best way to save your energy consumption is to produce it yourself! For this, you also have the choice to install solar panels on your roof or even a small wind turbine in your garden.

Top 3 Green Buildings in the World — Examples to Follow

When setting out to build your own green and eco-friendly home, it helps to take an example from the top 3 green buildings in the world.

The Edge

First of all, we can cite The Edge in Amsterdam which has managed to optimize its energy consumption until it reaches zero net worth. The smart green building is based on the use of the Internet of Things.

Bank of America

In our top 3 green buildings, we cannot ignore the Bank of America built in New York. Its fifty-four floors benefit as much as possible from natural light. This ecological building of the future runs on solar energy and collects rainwater.

Crystal Island

Finally, Crystal Island in Moscow welcomes more than 30,000 people alone. However, it is able to produce its own energy via a system of wind turbines and solar energy despite the very low temperatures that can be observed in Russia. A real feat in terms of energy performance.

Having an eco-friendly house is a real asset both from an environmental and economic point of view. The quality of life for its inhabitants is greatly improved. Moreover, new constructions must meet the criteria to promote environmental protection and the use of renewable energy.

Understanding Biofilms

What is Biofilm?
They are substances that are formed when bacteria or fungi tries to anchor on a surface with a sticky substance and also serves as its protection from its environment and golf courses. This substance can make these micro-organisms more immune to any antibiotic or antimicrobial agents. It can be secreted into any surface. It becomes more horrendous to ponder that they can secrete this substance on living and non-living objects, like the nails, teeth, skin, and even on the dirty corners of our own home like our pipes, water, and air filters. It can even stay on …

Biofilm – Problem Areas

Biofilms affect the following problem areas:
They cause infections directly in chronic wounds and ear infections, periodontal diseases, endocarditis, pneumonia in patients with cystic fibrosis, catheter, and implant-associated infections, and inflammatory infections (seborrheic and atopic dermatitis).
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are usually associated with implanted medical devices. These devices are highly susceptible to biofilm growth and infections. Other biofilm-induced HAIs come from health care environment materials and furniture like hospital …

Global Pandemic

An estimate of 700,000 people dies due to antibiotic resistance every year. It is projected that ten million people will die annually due to anti-microbial resistance (AMR) factors should there be no global response made to support AMR. This is the concern of many mothers.
Superbug Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) killed more Americans annually than those with HIV/AIDS, emphysema, Parkinson’s disease, and homicide. The technology is there to prove it.

Bioengineering Research Solutions continue to develop innovations in combatting biofilm and biofilm-related illnesses and is constantly looking for brilliant minds to join us in discovering more innovative technologies that will help everyone and keeping the world a safer place from all microbial diseases.

A British record day for Common Swift passage

29 June 2020 started on a sombre note. The previous day had witnessed suspected nest predation by Carrion Crow of one of the Little Tern pairs, and meant I was undertaking a long day of corvid monitoring in the sanctuary on top of general duties as Shorebird Warden at Gibraltar Point.

The previous day had been outstanding for Common Swift movement, with 19,418 birds logged by James Siddle and Reserve Warden Kev Wilson (KMW). With force 7-8 south-west winds forecast it looked likely we would enjoy more of the same, though I suspected the previous day would have been the 'big one' for this year.

Common Swifts moving at Gibraltar Point on 29 June 2020 – best viewed at full screen (Ben Ward).

At 4 am the first swifts appeared over the east side of the reserve in the improving light, though initially just in occasional small groups. By 4.20 am, flocks were now pulsing though, largely at eye level as they followed the contour of the East Dunes and continued down to where I was positioned on Millennium Ridge at the extreme south end of the reserve and the northern tip of The Wash.

By 4.45 am, heavy movement was now taking place on a broad front with passage over the West Dunes, as well as over the sea. The spectacle was immense, with swifts coming from as far as the eye could see – an endless stream visible as far north as Skegness, which is more than 5 km away. A vast group of up to several thousand was also forming, hawking over the Plantation, with birds coming and going all the time.

I alerted KMW via text; my first message read: "shocking swift passage". We arranged for him to take over counts from Mill Hill for a period of time; I was keen to implement the first stage of getting a new Little Tern nest enclosed ahead of the night, safe from the relentless Fox pressure this season.

Incredibly, by 6.30 am I had logged 22,459 swifts moving south through the reserve. It felt like it could be a record day and I put out words to that effect on the local group. By 7.30 am I had resumed counting and movement was still coming thick and fast. The morning was spent scanning from the ridge, where I could simultaneously watch over the habitat where our Little Terns and Ringed Plovers are nesting, interspersed by handful of essential visits into the colony. On one occasion I had to dash across to a Ringed Plover pair whose eggs had been blown out of their scrape by the violent winds and were rolling down the beach – two of four were located and thankfully the birds took back to incubating.

Common Swifts moving at Gibraltar Point on 29 June 2020 (Kevin Wilson).

I have been involved in days of huge Common Swift movement at Gibraltar Point before but this was obviously something truly incredible – literally breath-taking – and not just the phenomenal numbers involved, but the fact that overcast conditions brought them low, meaning the sight and sound was intensified with the birds funnelling down Millennium Ridge and regularly passing within feet of me.

Movement had all but ceased by 12.30 pm, with the vast majority of birds being recorded between 4.30 am and 10.30 am. After tallying up, my mind was blown by the figure: 45,844! This total we reached was almost certainly not reflective of the true number that flew south through the reserve during this period, as some of that time was spent fully focused on shorebird priorities. Only a few hundred were added over the next four and a half hours, with the final total for the day standing at a staggering 46,026. This is considered to be the highest single-site count made in Britain, surpassing the previous highest of 31,350, which was also made at Gibraltar Point, on 31 July 2019.

Review of International Studies

Review of International Studies (RIS) publishes cutting edge International Relations research regardless of theoretical, methodological or empirical focus. Our aim is to publish articles that initiate or lead contemporary debates in international relations research. Our success is reflected in our strengthening impact factor and the international reputation of the journal.

RIS publishes research that is theoretically informed, empirically rich, and methodologically rigorous, but which also pushes the boundaries of the discipline through theoretical, conceptual and methodological innovation. We strive to be the place where a range of perspectives can flourish and where truly outstanding work in the discipline is showcased and debated. We welcome interdisciplinary research and seek to champion emerging debates that promise to shape future conversations in the discipline.

RIS Publishes five issues a year. Normally, one of these issues is reserved for a special issue. We invite proposals for special issues on an annual basis. We also award an annual prize for the best article published in the previous year's volume of the journal. The winner is announced at the annual BISA conference.

We are committed to improving the diversity of our authors, reviewers and editorial board members. Due to the work of the previous editorial team, 50% of articles published in 2019 were authored by women. The current team are keen to continue this trajectory and improve the proportion of submissions and published articles by authors from underrepresented minority groups. We want to do more than simply reflect the existing state of affairs: we have a responsibility to advocate for, and lead, change in the discipline.

First view

Cambridge University Press (CUP) publishes most RIS articles online ahead of their inclusion in print issues. This makes it easier to keep up with research into International Relations as soon as it is published. First view articles are often open access for the first fortnight. Visit the CUP website to see the latest RIS first view articles.

Three Bitdefender Executives Recognized on CRN’s 2020 Channel Chiefs List

February 2020

Bitdefender is proud to announce that CRN® has named three Bitdefender executives to its 2020 list of Channel Chiefs

Bitdefender, a leading global cybersecurity company protecting over 500 million systems worldwide, is proud to announce that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named three Bitdefender executives to its 2020 list of Channel Chiefs.

The 2020 Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes top vendor executives who continually demonstrate exemplary leadership, influence, innovation, and growth for the IT channel, includes Bitdefender Vice President of Global Sales and Channels Joe Sykora, Bitdefender Senior Manager of the worldwide Partner Program Raluca Avram and Bill Bellano, Bitdefender’s Regional Vice President of North America Sales & Channels.

“The IT channel is undergoing constant evolution to meet customer demands and changing business environments,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Channel Chiefs work tirelessly, leading the industry forward through superior partner programs and strategies with a focus on helping solution providers transform and grow. Our team here at The Channel Company congratulates these outstanding individuals for their dedication to the channel.”

The 2020 Channel Chiefs have shown outstanding commitment, an ability to lead, and a passion for progress within the channel through their partner programs, CRN says. The honorees were chosen by the CRN editorial staff for their dedication, industry prestige, and exceptional accomplishments in driving the channel agenda and evangelizing the importance of channel partnerships.

“It’s an honor to make the Channel Chiefs list and the fact that Bitdefender has not one, but three, spots on the list in 2020 attests to the effectiveness of our award-winning partner program, which is constantly innovating and improving,” said Sykora. “We’re looking forward to a banner year in 2020 due to these factors, as well as our additional investment in regional channel partner resources, our new cloud and MSP programs, and the superior technology in our integrated solution that now includes Network Traffic Analytics.”

Avram attributed the honor in part to recent Bitdefender accomplishments focused on “delivering outstanding partnerships with our channel.”

“We have rolled out a revamped MSP Partner Program to ensure our MSP have more dedicated tools to grow their revenue stream, launched a new lead generation program by acquiring a turnkey channel marketing automation tool available to all our partners, and we’ve shifted our efforts to better communication channels, as we see an increased need to focus more on building stronger and more personalized business partnerships,” Avram said.

Bellano attributed Bitdefender’s success in part to the company’s “focus on our partners’ point of view and making our programs easier to understand and participate in.”

“We’re making big investments in our MSP program, cloud offering, technology, and our people,” Bellano said. “We concentrate on giving our partners the tools they need to succeed at meeting customer security needs and expectations. We have a great opportunity to build stronger partnerships in the market, while other companies are walking away from business.”

CRN’s 2020 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2020 issue of CRN Magazine and online at

Severe Weather Warnings – What do they mean for you?

A low in the Tasman Sea to the northwest of the country is set to rapidly deepen and move towards the North Island on Thursday, before moving over central NZ during Friday. Weather impacts will be felt right across the North and upper South Island as a result of the low; the first significant system to affect the country since mid-September 2017.

With wild weather on the way tomorrow as a rapidly deepening low moves down from the Tasman Sea, MetService has issued a number of Severe Weather Warnings and Watches for the North Island and upper South Island to indicate the potential for heavy rainfall and strong winds. The current warnings can be seen in the images below, with more details provided at

Today, we have also seen a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for the central North Island and Northland, associated with isolated convection which is popping up over the North Island this afternoon. The details of which can be found here;

Despite issuing a severe thunderstorm watch, it is quite possible that within that area you could have clear skies and not see a thunderstorm all day! This is due to the isolated nature of thunderstorms and showers; subtle wind convergences or areas which have slightly more moisture in the air can be all it takes to fire up a storm in one location but 10km’s down the road you will just be left feeling hot and sticky with no relief from a cold shower or storm!

With a Severe Weather Warning, like those issued for tomorrow’s system, the effects are widespread. Most will experience the phenomenon which is forecast as it is driven by large scale synoptic weather patterns; for example, large rain bands with fronts which extend for hundreds of kilometres like we will see tomorrow on the North Island. For more information on this check out one of our blogs, which explains NZ’s Severe Weather Warnings;

In the meantime, take care in the wild weather we are experiencing today and into the weekend. Remember to regularly check up on the latest severe weather advice on the above links and keep up to date with us @metservice on twitter and Facebook for updates throughout the day.

With a deepening low already spreading heavy rain over the Far North and set to affect most of the North Island by this evening parts of the South Island will also be experiencing severe weather of it’s own.

A Heavy Rain Warning is out for Marlborough and Nelson starting from late this evening associated with the low in the north. Rain accumulations could reach up to 160mm about the Kaikoura ranges by midnight Friday with strong southeast winds. Canterbury is also under a Heavy Rain Watch, with the bulk of the rain expected also on Friday – updated Severe weather will be made later this morning which you can check here

Outside of the grip of the low, severe thunderstorms which delivered Palmerston North a downpour of 36.9mm late yesterday afternoon could occur in isolated places over the lower South Island today.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for inland parts of the lower South Island as high humidity will provide the fuel for isolated thunderstorms to from from midday. Downpours of up to 40mm/h are possible under thunderstorm cells. The rain here will not be as widespread and prolonged as with the rain band further north but impacts could still affect those outdoors. Rainfall of this intensity can cause flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.Visibility in these heavy showers can also cause hazardous driving conditions for the few unlucky enough to be caught out. You can check for more details on the thunderstorm risk here

    Prop Efficiency Formulas Please Help

    I am trying to find if there is more than one formula for finding the efficiency of a prop, NOT the efficiency of that prop from the manufacturer as designed, but the efficiency of the prop on one particular planing boat with one particular motor.
    Maybe a better way to state this question is, the propeller efficiency for any particular installation, without having to go through a super detailed analysis of fluid dynamics.

    Let's say these are the parameters for this installation:

    Motor RPM: 5,750
    Gear Ratio: 2:33 to 1
    Propeller RPM: 2,468 for both props
    HP at prop at WOT: 74
    Prop: SS 3 Blade 36.9 MPH 13" Diameter 17" Pitch AND a
    Prop: SS 4 Blade 35.1 MPH 12 3/4" Diameter 16" Pitch
    Boat Weight: 2,000 pounds
    Boat Length: 18'

    With a Speed Length Ratio of 7.8
    The 3 blade has a crouch number of: 192
    The 4 blade has a crouch number of: 182

    FWIW, there are some methods, but they are not very percise.

    17" pitch x 2468 rpm = Advance of 58.3 ft/sec
    16" pitch x 2468 rpm = Advance of 54.8 ft sec

    58.3 ft/sec - 36.9 mph = Slip of 4.2 ft/sec
    54.8 ft/sec - 35.1 mph = Slip of 3.3 ft/sec

    Thrust EHP= .5*1.990*((13/12)^2/4)*pi*4.2*54.12^2 = 20.5 hp
    Thrust EHP= .5*1.990*((12.75/12)^2/4)*pi*3.3*51.48^2 = 14.2 hp

    20.5 hp / 74 hp = 28%
    14.2 hp / 74 hp = 19%

    Both wheels are over bladed and under pitched for top speed with the 13" wheel doing better, nearer to typical for small speed boats. But how do you feel about each's hole shot "power"?

    I have notice an error in my formulation here, there should not be a 0.5 in the Thrust EHP calculation (Bad engineer, no cookie...).

    In that case EHP should be 41 and 28.4 with efficiencies of 56% and 38% respectively. This means that the 13" wheel is not doing too bad, about what I'd expect for a good small boat match, but the 12.75" wheel is still over bladed and under pitched.

    Prop Efficiency

    For the 3 blade case with speed of 36.9 mph or 32.1 knots, prop RPM 2468, diameter 13", the best prop pitch ratio is 1.5, thus pitch 19" and open water efficiency in the range of 73.5%. The slip is ablut 19% This according to a couple of sources.

    The efficiency has the potential of increasing to 76% with a 13.6" prop with pitch of 19". The slip is about 16%.

    You have to deduct the losses of all of the components between the prop and the engine shaft to determine the shp available at the prop. The above numbers were based upon the 74 hp being available at the prop.

    Hope this gives you some numbers to ponder.

Welcome to our new Blog!

We are so excited to be able to share all of our new and exciting news and offers with you via our new blog! We aim to keep up to date with the latest treatments and products on the market and the latest trends, plus share all our inside secrets and tips with you too.

This year has been an extremely busy one and it’s almost hard to believe we are nearing the end already! We always love this time of year though, the clinic is busy preparing for lots of spooky Halloween nail art requests & Christmas bookings are filling up more than ever.

Our year so far has seen the clinic absolutely buzzing with our best and busiest year to date (what an amazing achievement, go team Bodilight!).

We have welcomed a new member of staff, the amazing Debbie,who joins us from Bannatynes and is settling in really well and gaining experience in all the treatments we have to offer.

It seems you ladies really are going brow crazy and the celebrity world is no different! HD Brows are trending all over the globe and we were in ore of Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards look in this picture she posted on twitter.

It was a tough weekend for Perrie in light of THAT Insta post. While her ex Zayn cosied up with a mystery blonde, Perry snuggled up in mahoosive poloneck teamed with a make-up look that we’re pretty desperate to copy.  The Little Mixer captioned her mirror selfie: “Grandad jumper, grandad hair.” And we majorly approve accessorizing her oversized, slouchy grey knit with a slicked-back side parting and fierce eye make-up. Check out those killer lashes and bold brows!

Hello Autumn…

So as much as the sun is still being extremely kind to us so far we (very sadly) say farewell to summer and hello to autumn.  So as we come to terms with the change of seasons here are a few of our favourite skin tips…

  • A 20-minute long, boiling-hot shower might feel great on a cold day, but stick to warm or lukewarm water for 10 minutes or less. Long exposure to hot water can strip moisture from hair and skin.
  • When heading into the great outdoors, dress for the weather with a hat, scarf, and gloves to avoid windburn and prolonged exposure to cold air.
  • Fill up a shopping trolley full of healthy foods with monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, olive oil, flax, sardines, and avocados.
  • Whilst you’re there, load up on vitamin C-rich produce like citrus fruit and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can help boost the body’s production of collagen, a protein that maintains skin and other connective tissues.

Don’t forget at Bodilight we offer a FREE skin consultation where we will talk you through all the skin treatments we offer and what may suit/benefit you most.  Along with a tailor-made homecare regime and advise to give you maximum benefit from our range of Environ products.

Don’t miss our offers for October…like and share us on facebook & check in next month for November’s clinic news

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3259: Barack Obama responds to Mike Huckabee's Holocaust Reference - Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Earlier today, while in Ethiopia, President Obama was asked about Mike Huckabee's Holocaust reference. The former Arkansas Governor and 2016 Presidential Candidate had said over the weekend that President Obama's president’s policy would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.” Mr. Obama went on to criticize several republicans and his accompanying nonverbal signals provide some excellent teaching moments.

Here President Obama is biting his bottom lip (0:16) as he responds to former Governor Huckabee referencing the Holocaust. Depending on the other nonverbals with which it is clustered, lip biting can have several different meanings. In this context, Mr. Obama's lip biting signals a hesitancy to speak as well as a very careful word choice (anyone who listens only to this passage would easily discern his reluctance).

This moment showcases an excellent example of incredulity (although this is certainly not the only facial expression associated with disbelief). Note the President's forward head tilt clustered with an elevated central forehead contraction (CFC) with a mild mouth pseudo-smile. This is seen during 0:42 - 0:43 as he mentions Ted Cruz's (who he didn't mention by name) suggestion that he's the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

At 2:18 we see the President express a clear example of a facial expression of contempt for Mr. Trump as he speaks about the businessman's questioning heroism of John McCain.

What is the secondary emotion displayed here?

Sen. Bongbong welcomes ombudsman order sacking Purisima; vows to pursue justice for Fallen 44

Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos welcomed the order of the Office of the Ombudsman dismissing from service former Philippine National Police chief Alan Purisima and 10 other PNP officials for entering into an anomalous contract with courier service, WerFast Documentary Agency in 2011.

Marcos had urged Malacañang to sack Purisima and file appropriate charges against him for taking part in the January 25 Mamasapano operation while serving a 60-day suspension order of the Ombudsman in connection with a plunder case against the police officer.

Firing Purisima and charging him is the least the Palace can do to heed the cry for justice of the families of the 44 SAF (Special Action Force) commandos killed in the botched Mamasapano operation, according to Marcos.

However, Malacañang came to the defense of the police general whom President Aquino acknowledged as a close friend and reportedly told the senator: “Leave Purisima alone.

“Even if Malacañang remains deaf to the plea for justice of the families of the Fallen 44, the action of the Ombudsman gives us a sense of relief that Purisima is not untouchable and could be made to answer for his wrongdoings,” Marcos said.

Marcos stressed that Purisima still has to be made accountable for the botched Mamasapano operation.

“Purisima has to face all the criminal charges filed against him for what he did as PNP chief but he must also pay a separate price for illegally taking part in the Mamasapano operation that resulted in the death of the SAF 44,” Marcos said.

Purisima was expected to go back to work as a police officer last June 10 after serving the Ombudsman’s suspension order but opted to file a leave of absence.

Marcos also said earlier that Purisima’s insistence on returning to service, keeping his 4-star general rank, is causing disarray in the PNP organization and preventing the appointment of a permanent PNP chief.

In a 50-page consolidated decision released Tuesday, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales found substantial evidence to hold Purisima liable for grave misconduct, serious dishonesty, and grave abuse of authority.

Aside from dismissal from service, other penalties imposed against Purisima include forfeiture of retirement benefits, cancellation of eligibility, and perpetual disqualification from re-employment in government service.

The 10 others meted the same fate were PNP Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) Chief Superintendent Raul Petrasanta, Chief Superintendent Napoleon Estilles, Senior Superintendent Allan Parreño, Senior Superintendent Eduardo Acierto Senior Superintendent Melchor Reyes, Superintendent Lenbell Fabia, Chief Inspector Sonia Calixto, Chief Inspector Nelson Bautista, Chief Inspector Ricardo Zapata Jr. and Senior Inspector Ford Tuazon.

Purisima was charged by a private citizen in a P100 million case alleging plunder, graft and abuse of authority over the use of the courier service to deliver firearms licenses.

Pour flour mixture into a separate bowl. Add jelly and combine with a fork, slowly adding milk until it resembles a course meal.
Turn mixture onto parchment paper (it will be very crumbly) and work quickly to form a log. Wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Remove from paper and slice into ¼” discs. Place onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 375°F until slightly brown, about 18-20 minutes.
"You asked for a punched-up version of our Hot Pepper Jelly, so we brought in the big guns, incorporating ultra-hot ghost peppers into this jelly. The sweetness from pure cane sugar and red bell peppers helps balance the spice for a flavor heat seekers will love. Give your taste buds a big kick by adding this jelly to appetizers, cheese plates or glazes."
