A day after expressing concerns President Donald Trump will walk away from Nafta, Canada’s government signaled it will try to keep negotiations moving forward by seeking to break an impasse over autos.

Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland pledged she’d bring “new ideas” to the next round of negotiations in Montreal this month while two government officials, speaking on condition they not be identified, said the country is ready to shift its approach on the contentious issue of automobile-trade rules. The officials didn’t provide specifics, but such a push could dovetail with a Mexican initiative to also focus on auto rules in an attempt to satisfy U.S. negotiators who have been demanding radical changes in the pact to balance out trade flows.

With little progress made after five rounds of talks, worries have mounted in Canada that Trump may give notice of withdrawal from the pact to press for concessions. The Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the stocks of companies that rely on the North American Free Trade Agreement slumped Wednesday after Canadian officials said they think the chances of such a move are rising. A White House official later said the president’s position on Nafta hadn’t changed.

“When it comes to the more unconventional U.S. proposals, we have been doing some creative thinking, we have been talking with Canadian stakeholders, and we have some new ideas that we look forward to talking with our U.S. and Mexican counterparts about in Montreal,” Freeland said Thursday in London, Ontario in comments aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

U.S. Message

One of the Trump administration’s top officials said the president was updated Thursday on trade talks. “He’s very pleased on where things are going,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a White House press briefing. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer “is doing an amazing job renegotiating Nafta, and we are expecting that will be renegotiated or we will pull out.”

Lighthizer is due to meet Mexico Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo in Washington this month ahead of the next round of talks. Freeland acknowledged the chances of the U.S. pulling out of Nafta are real and said she was taking Trump at his word that he’s considering it.

Shares of auto parts makers Magna International Inc. and Linamar Corp. rebounded Thursday. “I think if there’s goodwill on all sides, we could have a great outcome in Montreal,” Freeland said.

The three countries are also “close” to reaching agreements on some individual subjects, known as chapters, of Nafta, Freeland said, describing them as “bread and butter” issues. In addition to the thorny automotive issue, other contentious U.S. demands are on dairy, dispute panels, government procurement and a sunset clause.

The chief executive of the region’s biggest parts supplier, Magna, warned earlier this week that overly complex Nafta changes could leave U.S., Mexican and Canadian manufacturers vulnerable. “If it becomes too complicated, too bureaucratic, too costly that you can’t get low-cost, high-labor products into this region—then all of a sudden we have damaged the whole Nafta region,” Chief Executive Officer Don Walker said. “It’s going to be a lose-lose-lose.”

Magna’s shares rose 0.4 percent as of 11:32 a.m. in New York after the news of Canada’s involvement. Linamar reversed declines, trading up 1 percent.

Flavio Volpe, president of the Toronto-based Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, said progress was made on autos during a mini-round of talks last month in Washington. “All sides understand each other’s core imperatives much better now,” he said Thursday in an email. “The tone is respectful and everyone appears to actually want a solution that the others will be able to sign off on.”

The U.S. is proposing to raise the minimum content requirement, for a typical vehicle or auto part to be traded under Nafta, to 85 percent from the current 62.5 percent, while also requiring that a full 50 percent of content comes from the U.S. The proposals were flatly dismissed by Canada and Mexico. The U.S. also wants to substantially expand the so-called tracing list, which means more products and parts would need their origins tracked and documented.

‘Every Eventuality’

One of the Canadian officials said Freeland was referring to autos with her comments Thursday. Freeland didn’t say whether she believes the chances of a U.S. withdrawal notice are rising. Such a notice, which would be given under Article 2205, isn’t binding, meaning it could still be issued and Nafta still survive.

“The U.S. has been very clear since before the talks started that invoking Article 2205 was a possibility, and I think we need to take our neighbors at their word, take them seriously,” Freeland said. “So Canada is prepared for every eventuality.”

Finance Minister Bill Morneau, speaking at the same event, said Canada has “made preparations and considered every scenario” when it comes to Nafta. “What we are trying to achieve is an improvement in Nafta. We know that’s better for Canada and we will continue down that path.”

Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann proposes changes to Alberta’s electricity structure that will save billions and eliminate need to borrow to pay off PPAs

Calgary, AB (January 18th, 2017):

Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann unveiled a new policy today that will save Albertans billions of dollars in electricity costs. As well, the policy will remove the need for government to borrow to fund the liability to the Balancing Pool caused by Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) holders returning their contracts under the “Change in Law” clause.

By adjusting the way the Regulated Rate Option (RRO) is calculated (this is the rate most Albertans pay for electricity), the Alberta Liberals’ plan could save Albertans $700 million to 2020 and $3 billion to 2030.

The change is centred on the calculation used to determine the final price of electricity. Currently the RRO is not based on the actual cost of electricity at time of consumption (the “Pool price”), instead using a process based on a “forward price.” Adjusting the process to reflect the actual price creates a very different outcome.

In the fall session the government passed the Electric Utilities Amendment Act (Bill 34). This bill allows unlimited borrowing to cover the cost of PPAs returned to the Balancing Pool because of changes in government policy. The liability is estimated between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion; if paid off by borrowing, the cost to consumers could increase from $350 million to $500 million.

“Albertans are extremely concerned with the debt loads this government is taking on,” says Swann. “Bill 34 gives the NDP unlimited borrowing power to cover up their mistakes in the electricity market. The simple changes we are proposing will remove the need for this additional debt.”

The savings created by the Liberal plan would allow the Balancing Pool to pay off the PPA liability as part of its normal operations, without incurring added expense to consumers through interest payments. The proposed RRO flow-through rate would more than offset the added costs of the PPAs, and consumers would even see a net reduction in their power bills.

For example, to retire the liability of the Balancing Pool by 2020:

Cost of Balancing Pool Liability1

RRO savings to consumers under the Alberta Liberal plan

Per Year

Per Month

Note that these figures do not include the value of settlements reached with PPA buyers; the figures have either not been released, or include carbon offsets of which the government has not declared a monetary value.

“By making this simple change,” continued Swann, “the electricity market can operate without manipulation by the government. Under the current regime, the government is taking on enormous risk and, for political reasons, avoiding passing the cost directly on to consumers. In the end, though, the cost is paid out of our pockets.”

Help Not Handcuffs - Addictions Reform

It is time we treat addicts as people with a disease. They have an illness. They are not criminals.

That is why Alberta Liberal Leader David Khan is calling for the decriminalization of drugs as an essential tactic for reducing the stigma around this disease and giving addicts a better chance to heal and live fulfilling productive lives.

This is a necessary part of a broader effort needed to battle addiction and needs to be combined with improved mental health and addictions services.

People are dying every day in Alberta from opioid addiction. We need to change our approach to addictions.

By signing this petition you can help us save lives.

Decriminalization is not legalization. Decriminalization means that those with devastating mental illness and addictions are more able to get help and move towards recovery — instead of being thrown into jail. Decriminalization removes the terrible stigma that keeps drug abuse ‘underground’ — hidden and shameful.

Decriminalization has worked for other jurisdictions and it could work for Alberta too. Over the past 20 years, other countries have shown the punishment of people in distress simply adds to the distress and repeats the vicious cycle of drug use to relieve the psychological and physical pain.

Let's break the cycle.

Sign the petition to increase mental health supports and drug treatment, reform the justice system, and advocate for the decriminalization of the possession of small amounts of all drugs across Canada.

Will you join us in combating addiction and helping people find the help they need?

Will you sign?

Vinyl SotD - The Leaf Library

Neil Gardner is a bit of an audio guru, being the brains behind an award winning spoken word production company. But sometimes he likes to retreat from the digital studio to listen to some music analogue style, on vinyl. This time he leafs through The Leaf Library...

Format: 7″ Black Vinyl

Side A: CITY IN REVERSE – A lo-fi mysterious mood-piece with multi-layered male & female harmonised vocals. A dark moody musical melange that builds slowly to a feeling of possibility. A thoughtful but unnerving hypnotically repetitive invocation of life’s thought processes. Guitars and synths blend mirage-like with the evocative lyrics.

Side B: KENDRICK ROAD – pitch-perfect Anime score with a taste for travelling. Angelic female vocals playfully engage with gorgeous strings and teasing timpani. A magical and inspirational bag of instrumental tricks that soars through the soul and leaves you smiling.

An adolescent health survey of students in Surrey

Teens delay trying booze, pot or sex, survey finds

McCreary study finds adolescent health improving in Surrey, Delta and Langley, but more girls attempting suicide

Fewer teens South of the Fraser are drinking or taking drugs than five years ago, according to a comprehensive new study that paints a generally improved portrait of adolescent health in B.C.

The McCreary Centre Society surveyed 30,000 B.C. students in grades 7 to 12 in 2013 and released its detailed report Tuesday on the Fraser South region, which includes Delta, Surrey and Langley school districts.

On substance use, the survey found fewer youth in Fraser South had ever tried alcohol (37 per cent), marijuana (21 per cent) or tobacco (16 per cent) compared to 2008, when those rates were 48 per cent, 26 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively.

In 2008, 74 per cent of students surveyed had their first drink of alcohol before turning 15, but that dropped to 61 per cent in 2013. Fewer also reported binge drinking.

The survey found 14 per cent of students have had sex (other than oral sex), down from 18 per cent in 2008 and below the provincial average of 19 per cent.

Among youth who have had sex, most did so for the first time at age 15 or 16.

Fraser South students were more likely to feel safe at school and less likely to feel bullied, the report says.

But the findings were more troubling on issues related to mental health.

Eight per cent of girls reported attempting suicide, up from six per cent in 2008.

And one in 10 students did not seek mental health help they felt they needed, usually because they didn’t want their parents to know.

“It’s great to see so many positives in terms of risky behaviours such as binge drinking,” said McCreary executive director Annie Smith. “But as with the rest of the province, girls’ mental health results were particularly concerning.”

Eleven per cent of students had been physically abused and eight per cent had been sexually abused at some point, rates that were both down from 2008.

Four per cent of Fraser South girls were classified as obese, up from two per cent in 2008, while the rate of obese boys remained eight per cent.

Lack of sleep was also flagged as a chronic issue, with 86 per cent of girls and 79 per cent of boys either online, using their cellphones or doing homework past the time they’re expected to be asleep.

In Fraser South, five per cent of boys and two per cent of girls reported carrying a weapon like a knife or bat to school in the previous month, below the B.C. rate.

A report on Fraser East communities including Abbotsford and Chilliwack was also released for the first time last month.

It has no comparable figures from 2008 because 2013 was the first time the Abbotsford School District participated.

But many of the trends were the same.

Among the Fraser East findings:

– 24 per cent of girls reported being cyberbullied in the past year, more than the B.C. rate of 19 per cent.

– 20 per cent of girls considered suicide – more than the provincial average of 17 per cent – and 11 per cent had actually attempted.

– 20 per cent of boys and 14 per cent of girls had a concussion in the past year.

Like many people this was the first time I had used an on - line estate agent. Glad I did it. The excellent photographs and enough information was uploaded within a week and we sold in ten days to the first viewer. Got very close to the asking price. And the sale was between Xmas Eve and the 3rd January 2015. I would add that our bungalow was in immaculate condition and the photos really illustrated this.

We did obtain 3 valuations prior to listing from local agents and sold at a figure higher than the first two.

All staff we dealt were excellent and efficient. £474 well spent. Well done Emoov !

I'd highly recommend the service from Clarets: I was hesitant initially about whether to use a small, local firm over a more nationally recognised one, but in my experience this worked to their advantage. Adam and his whole team are not only experienced in the local market, which you would expect, but they are extremely tenacious, following up on potential buyers, communicating with all parties and going the extra mile to deliver really first class service.
Comment on agent fees
Reasonable, and very good value in view of the level of service received.

[A5] Repeating audio samples
Member #2,229
April 2002

I finally got around to understanding Allegro's audio system at least a little bit. I can get audio to play alright at least with this.

The problem now is that, in my pacman like game, you can eat a lot of pills rapidly, and each time you do, it plays a sample. Not a problem normally, but if you speed along too fast, it will skip some sounds. My understanding is that an instance of that sound is already playing so it doesn't play it again until that one is finished.

I am thinking that I am still doing something wrong here, even though it works to a limited degree. I was up until almost 6am this morning working on this and I really would like to understand how this works, if for nothing else than so I can get a good understanding for future projects. This current one, while not the best game in history, is basically my test bed for learning about Allegro 5 as I go. And it's been nice so far, been really loving Allegro 5.

Anyhow, here's my code I use for my sound (all in C, I use the C 2011 standard, not that I have anything specific to that in my code, but just so you know)..

1#ifndef _dp2_sound_h_ 2#define _dp2_sound_h_ 3 4#include <stdio.h> 5#include <allegro5/allegro.h> 6#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h> 7 8typedef struct SFX { 9 ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *samp; 10 ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *inst; 11} SFX; 12 13bool init_sound(int samples); 14bool load_sound(SFX *sfx, char const *file); 15void play_sound(SFX *sfx, float volume, float pan, float speed, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE playmode); 16void destroy_sound(SFX *sfx); 17void shutdown_sound(void); 18 19#endif

The functions are fairly self explanatory. I use init_sound() to initialize everything, load_sound() to load in sound samples and set them up, play_sound() plays the sounds with similar perimeters as the al_play_sample() (except the last one). destroy_sound() frees up allocated memory for each sound sample and finally shutdown_sound() is called before the game exits.

I also have a problem when I go to use al_set_sample_instance_speed() on a sample that is currently playing, the speed of the sample isn't changed at all, which was part of the reason why I set up all this in the first place.

Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if these questions seem stupid, but I did spend a LOT of time last night and today and I am missing something, just what I don't know. :-/

There are two levels of sample playing functions. You can mix and match them, but it's important to understand the differences.

  1. Higher Level: al_reserve_samples(int n) is paired with al_play_sample(). n how many times you can simultaneously call that latter function, regardless if it's the same underlying raw data or not.

    It creates its own voice/mixer combination if you don't tell it about a default one via al_set_default_mixer(). So in your example, you should set the default mixer before calling the reserve sample function.

  2. Lower Level: create voice / create mixer / attach x to y / al_create_sample_instance() / al_play_sample_instance() If you want to play the same sample N simultaneous times, then you need to create 1 ALLEGRO_SAMPLE and n ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE variables.

The two structures:

So in your case, you may want to move toward this (with the lower level API):

typedef struct SFX {
   int max_simultaneous_count;
} SFX;

When loading the sample, set max_simultaneous_count and create an array of that many ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE. Then when playing your SFX, loop through that array and play the sample instance if it is not currently playing.

Okay, that clarifies things. I still can't adjust the sound's speed while it is playing.

Anyhow, I removed this code from my game for now and went back to using al_play_sample() (thank God for backups). All this headache just isn't worth it for one small sound effect.

I'll have to figure t his out another day, I may take a peek at the al_play_sample() code sometime and see what it does if I can understand it, but if I spend much more time trying to figure this out I will never get this game done, and I just want to finish this thing sometime this century. ;)

It does look like, if I ever plan to use this that I will have to write lots of code to track multiple instances in some sort of array, and I somehow track when they're done playing yada yada yada... I am starting to miss Allegro 4, at least for audio anyhow.

I love Allegro 5, but not the audio system, seems overly complicated compared to Allegro 4.

Edit: Thanks for the additional ideas. I will still work on this on the side, in a separate project so I can continue to try and get something working that I can use in all my future projects. It's just this particular project has dragged on too long now and I tire of working on it (but refuse to stop until it is done! ;) ).

When loading the sample, set max_simultaneous_count and create an array of that many ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE. Then when playing your SFX, loop through that array and play the sample instance if it is not currently playing.

Good idea, but I am wondering. Do you have to check if that instance of a sample is still playing? When it ends playing, do you destroy that instance? I'm just uncertain about the management of all of this.

If you ever had authentic street food somewhere, you know how good that stuff is. How they do it, I'll never know, but man do they nail it. Why not try your hand at some darn good street tacos and you can impress people like crazy the next time you have guests over or throw a party. These grilled chicken tacos are made super simple with corn tortillas (although you could use flour if you prefer), avocado, lime juice and some spices. Top them off with your choice of cilantro, onions, salsa, corn, cheese, or whatever you like. The flavor is all in the marinade so make sure you really focus on that aspect before grilling the chicken and assembling everything. Enjoy!

OMG these street tacos look delicious. Why do I find myself navigating to this site around lunch each time? It just makes me hungrier. With this recipe, now I dont have to hunt down a food truck to get this tasty treat. I do have some dietary restrictions and this allows me to enjoy the tacos with my own fixings.

What is manchego cheese? Is there another cheese similar to it? I have never used it before, and I honestly have never heard of it either. I just wonder if it is close to something else I might use like mozzarella or provolone maybe. I know it won't be exactly the same, but maybe I can still get it close with something I know how to use.

Hi SissieSass, parmesan cheese would be a good substitute for manchego, but I think any cheese would be great for this recipe. - Natalie, Editor of AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes

This recipe looks awesome! I would make these anytime,even just for dinner during the week. I have never heard of the brand of marinade mentioned though. Is it a local kind, only sold in certain places? Also,what is phyllo dough, and could something else, like pre-made pizza crust, be substituted?

This yummy recipe for pulled pork bites in a muffin tin will make an impressive appetizer for your holiday buffet table. This is something that I have never experimented with this type of appetizer, but the mini muffin tins are so darn cute! It is very all purpose, too. Use the phylo dough with meats or make dessert bites by filling them with a mix of fresh berries and a sprinkling of sugar crystals on top! Yum!

Alliance Eco-Clean

What is Alliance Eco-Clean?

Eco-Clean is an integral part of our recommended 12-month service management package, completed by Alliance Climate Control technicians to fully restore operation of your ceiling mounted cassette system back to new.

Alliance Climate Control, provide this service to restore your system to its peak operating condition and is best arranged ahead of peak usage periods to make sure it’s clean and ready for high usage periods ahead.

With the outlet grille and filters removed from the ceiling mounted cassette, the fan coil is carefully washed, first with water, then sanitised with Alliance Climate Control’s own microbial solution. This makes sure the coil is free from dust, fungi or pathogens.

The filters are also cleaned thoroughly with a suitable treatment regime to make sure they are perfectly clean and also working with optimum efficiency.

Why is Alliance Eco-Clean good for your Ceiling Mounted Cassette System?

An Alliance Eco-Clean service is recommended for your system annually, to keep it in top operating condition.

An Alliance Eco-Clean service can prepare your system for high heat loads during summer or those cool wintry days, eradicating any issues that may exist including:

  • Dust and dirt lodged in the filter or fan coil causing the coil to malfunction and place unnecessary strain on other components of the system.
  • Prevent unnecessary loads on the fan coil or fan wheel motors resulting from blocked or reduced air flow delivery to the conditioned space.
  • Inaccurate sensing characteristics at various points around the circuit. This may produce inefficient heat pump characteristics and poor comfort aspects for the occupants.

How can we help with inspection and repair of your Ceiling Mounted Cassette System?

Alliance Climate Control recommend ceiling mounted cassette system undergo an annual check and performance test. We also recommend an Alliance Eco-Clean service at the same time to limit downtime and intrusion to your normal activities.

We can help by establishing a recurring service appointment with a pre-visit reminder one or two weeks in advance to ensure your preferred time is convenient.

Call us now before you leave this site to set up a regular service visit.

Here is what some of our customers are saying...
We had technician Jon come in to service and do a minor repair on out A/C's today, 2/2/18.Jon was pleasant to deal with and did a good job. He was straight forward with our issues and our options to fix our A/C problems and completed his work in a timely and efficient manner. The quote for the service was also competitive.We highly recommended Alliance Climate Control and technician Jon for your A/C services and repairs.

Goran met us at our apartment, gave us a very competitive quote and was available to take any questions while we made a decision. The installation team came on time and made sure we were happy with their plan before they started. It was a very smooth process. We would recommend to anyone.

Very good. Punctual cleaned up. Polite. They only did it a couple of days ago and we haven't had to use it yet! They a also explained things clearly. Only issue was when it started to rain I had to ask one of them to put the roof tiles back. A very minor thing. I will recommend them to anyone I know.

I am more then happy to recommend Alliance Climate Control to all my friends. Michael was so helpful helping me to choose the right air conditioning system for my unit at very competitive rates. Nick the installer was on time, polite and very professional. And they left the unit very clean and tidy. Very very please with their services. Highly recommended them. And now my best friend is going to use their services in coming week for her unit too.Congratulation to you and your team. Thank you

The team from Alliance Climate Control were extremely professional, efficient and helpful. When other companies who inspected our aircon unit said we needed to spend $4,000 to replace, ACC looked further and found it was just a few parts that needed replaced. We are thrilled with this outcome and the great service!

Highly recommend Michael and his team. We’ve had him install a whole house ducted system; 2 multi headed units in a 2 storey semi; and a single split system in a strata unit. Every job has been executed to perfection. Beginning with the initial consultation through to completion, we experienced professionalism and expediency. Clean, tidy, efficient installations; good choice of brands and placement of units. We’re really pleased.

Our whole experience with Alliance has been efficient, positive, and easy - quality in home advice, a competitive quote, quick response from the accounts department, transparent invoices and payment by installments. The installation turned out to be hard work for the technicians due to a double thickness gyprock roof but they kept on it until the job was done. They seemed to have plenty of experience and the right equipment for working on installations at height (the property is a townhouse), no problems with providing information to help us gain Strata approval, and during installation they were thoughtful and respectful of our neighbors. We are 100% happy. Penny and Lance - Harris Park

The service from Alliance was outstanding. After consultation with Alex, it was agreed that a new unit would need to be installed. The installation team encountered an unforeseen problem and this was resolved after positive action by management.The level of commitment by all members of the team was truly extraordinary. The installation was completed with competence and remarkable goodwill. I highly recommend Alliance and acknowledge the professionalism and courtesy of all those involved.

I simply chose Alliance Climate Control because of their positive reviews. After consultation with Goran I was please to proceed with a competitive quote, and from start to completion of the installation of the new split system along with a new switchboard upgrade with technician Jon who couldn't have been more helpful with his time and knowledge and along with the whole team of 5 were polite and cleaned up after a professional job well done. My whole experience with Alliance with the administration staff to technicians and Michael have been friendly very pleased and happy with the service received and the end result. Thank you.I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control based on the service I received.

I called Alliance Climate Control for a service to my air conditioner.From the moment I spoke to the team to the completion of the work, the process was seamless and their service exceptional. Not only were they very professional and reliable, the work was managed in a timely manner and the technicians were very helpful and knowledgeable. Upon completion, I received a follow up phone from Kristian who went above and beyond in maintaining customer loyalty. I will definitely use Alliance Climate Control in the future and definitely recommend them.

My husband and I had selected three installers to visit our place for quotes, based on high reviews. Goran stood out from the other with his attention to detail, competitive pricing, ease of professionalism and lack of pushy salesmanship. His team did a great job installing our three units over two levels. They kept up a helpful level of communication with me throughout the installation, they were friendly, punctual, tidy, respectful to my place and belongings and were professional from start to finish. We are so impressed with the entire experience. We will have no hesitation in using their services again, and recommending them to our family and friends.

Excellent installation by the fabulous team at Alliance. It started with Goran coming for an assessment and very competitive quote. Team came in and did a fantastic job and consulted me every step of the way as vent placement was tricky in a hertitage house. Very pleased with the outcome and an exceptionally tidy job. Now sitting here in a very warm house.Thank you!

Can't speak highly enough of the Alliance team. I had delayed the air con install a number of times, due to strata approval muck around, and nothing was ever an issue, super responsive, helpful and then finally the job completion was a breeze, very polite, courteous tradesmen, entertained my young kids and the job was meticulous. Would highly recommend using these guys.

I cannot praise Alliance Climate Control highly enough . It is definitely one of the best companies I have dealt with in a long time. I give it 5 stars for admin, professionalism , punctuality, helpfulness , neatness ... It was a pleasure to deal with them from start to finish. They even called me back on a Saturday afternoon when I could not operate the air conditioner (no fault of theirs) - they talked me through it and it worked within minutes . I would not hesitate to recommend them

Alliance Climate Control were great to deal with. A really thorough assessment ahead of a detailed quote. They weren't the cheapest but but I was impressed with their approach. Good communication around scheduling process. When the installation team arrived they made a useful suggestion about where to place the external units. The work was done efficiently and with minimum interruption to us. Good clean up at the end. And the units are great!! Effective and so quiet you just don't hear them. Highly recommend.

New York Times Rips Trump and His GOP Enablers in Scathing Editorial

'The president is not above the law'

Christian leaders praying over Donald Trump in the Oval Office
Photo Credit: Screengrab

In a Monday morning op-ed, The New York Times editorial board warned the president, saying he " is not above the law."

The board explained, "news reports point to a growing possibility that President [Donald] Trump may act to cripple or shut down an investigation by the nation’s top law-enforcement agencies into his campaign and administration."

The thought that the president can fire everyone involved and that the investigation will cease is absurd and impossible, the board alluded. It also noted that lawmakers should get ready for the moment to present itself.

"Lawmakers need to be preparing now for that possibility because if and when it comes to pass, they will suddenly find themselves on the edge of an abyss, with the Constitution in their hands," it recommended.

"Make no mistake: If Mr. Trump takes such drastic action, he will be striking at the foundation of the American government, attempting to set a precedent that a president, alone among American citizens, is above the law," the board continued. "What can seem now like a political sideshow will instantly become a constitutional crisis, and history will come calling."

The editorial also noted, however, that Trump "has been known to huff and puff, to bluff and bluster, and he may be doing no more than that now."

However, he could also be be doing something far worse and outright illegal.

  1. and you´re missing beautiful Al-Andalus train that crosses Andalusia!

  2. Dear Eduardo: you are so right about the Al-Andalus. Maybe next time it will make our list because it is back in operation this year! Please email for our IRT Society’s Best-Loved Railway Journeys 2008. Thank you.

  3. Kay says:

    Hmm, I think it depends on how you define ‘best’. I’ve been on some fantastic train journeys which aren’t on the list. Admittedly, not all of them were luxurious but the trip was well worth doing. I always think that a train trip often lets you glimpse into a nation’s back yards, and you see things you might never otherwise see.

    A few journeys I’ve done which I’d recommend to people are:

    India – The Fairy Queen trip from Delhi to Alwar. Not exactly luxury but certainly not roughing it either. Wonderful!

    Kenya – Nairobi to Mobassa. Comfortable enough and quite a lot of fun.

    Vietnam – Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. Now we’re roughing it! Do this one in stages to give you time to explore all the places en route.

    Bangladesh – Dhaka to Srimangal. We went as a group of colleagues and hired an entire private carriage for our group, so we were probably more comfortable than most people who would just get a compartment.

  4. irene says:

    I am surprised that none of the spectacular train journeys in New Zealand are included like the Tranz Alpine from Christchurch to Greymouth. The scenary is just awsome.

  5. Emily M says:

    Heard some great stories from my sister about the trains in Ecuador when she was teaching there, the students took her out and she said they were all riding on the roof… a whole new rail experience and lots of fun apparently!

    I really fancy the glass topped train in Canada, would be a fantastic and relaxing way to see the scenery I imagine!

Using Your CRM and Marketing Automation Platform Integration to Improve Marketing Strategy

Using Your CRM And Marketing Automation Platform Integration To Improve Marketing Strategy

About the Program

Focus on What Really Matters: Data

Getting the most out of your CRM and marketing automation platform integration isn’t easy. As marketers, we’re up against the challenges of data entry, understanding integration points, and defining sales triggers. Without a plan, the data you’re collecting in both platforms is meaningless.

This presentation is designed to help marketers transform their CRM/marketing automation platform integration into a valuable source of campaign opportunities. Starting with an understanding of how to gather useful data, we’ll examine strategies for building nurture funnels, cross-sell and upsell campaigns, and customer retention communications.

The session will help marketers focus on determining what data really matters and how you can use it to meet your marketing goals, with an eye toward:

  • Creating automated email campaigns based on the data you’re collecting in CRM
  • Generating variable content that matches your audience’s interests
  • Better understanding your true campaign ROI
  • Fostering friendships with both your Sales and Accounting Departments

Began writing songs in my early teens. As I grew older and a little wiser, so did the things I was singing about.

I am sometimes asked how I write the songs or get inspired, I just say "tell the truth and the words will fall right out of your mouth."

Something important my best pal will say to me before I play any gigs, is "remember mate, don't sing the song...tell the story."

Hasn't failed me yet.

Hope you like the music.

Google Nexus 7 Update

> >

Nexus 7 is the first tablet belonging to the Nexus line-up. Nexus 7 is device co-developed by Google and ASUS, and unveiled in June 2012, along with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the software update that brought features like Project Butter, expandable notifications, and the amazing Google Now.

Because the Nexus 7 is part of Google’s family of devices, it will be one of the first tablets to receive the latest Android firmware updates. If you are an Android Vanilla guy you can choose any of the tutorials below that will help you install official firmwares on your Nexus 7 tablet.

But if the stock Android experience is not enough for you, then go ahead and install one of the unofficial ROMs listed below. Since flashing custom ROMs on your Nexus 7 tablet will most of the time void the warranty, we recommend you to carefully follow all the steps of the tutorials below.

After Amazon conquered the Android-powered tablet market with the Kindle Fire, the Mountain View-based giant decided it’s time to launch its own device using the same recipe: a 7-inch terminal with high-end technical specifications and an affordable price.

The Nexus 7 packs a quad-core 1.2 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 processor helped by a twelve-core ULP GeForce GPU. It also features a 7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display with 800 x 1,280 pixels protected by Gorilla Glass and 1 GB of RAM.

Nexus 7’s list of connectivity features includes WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, 3.5 mm jack, Bluetooth, microUSB and NFC chip. The 7-inch tablet also comes with a front-facing 1.2 megapixel camera with HD video recording capabilities.

Nexus 7 is 198.5 mm tall, 120 mm wide and 10.5 mm thick, while weighing in 347 grams. The battery keeping the 7-inch tablet alive is a Li-Ion 4,325 mAh unit.

When the Nexus 7 hit the market in July 2012, there were two internal storage options, 8 and 16 GB, priced $199 and $249, respectively.

A couple of months later, in November 2012, two new Nexus 7 models were unveiled: one with 32 GB of internal storage and a price of $249 and another one with 32 GB of storage and 3G support, with a price tag of $299. Starting November the 8 GB Nexus 7 was ditched, while the price of the 16 GB model was dropped to only $199.

You know how no one will take your stupid money for a Nexus 6? Well, T-Mobile was supposed to start trading phones for money-dollars tomorrow (November 12th), but that's not happening anymore. The company has just announced that it's pushed back the N6 launch by one week to November 19th.

The reason given for this is that the carrier wants to give customers "the best experience possible." This probably refers to the strong likelihood that very few units would be ready for purchase in T-Mobile stores tomorrow. Rather than have a substantial portion of customers annoyed that they were unable to get the phone on launch day, T-Mobile has opted to just annoy everyone by changing the date at the last moment.

Let's not take up our pitchforks and torches just yet, though. It's possible T-Mobile is seeing stock shortages even more severe than previously reported. There might not have been any other option but to postpone. In that case, blame falls on Motorola, and to a lesser extent, Google.

A strategic approach to organisational narratives

Posted by  Shawn Callahan —December 17, 2013
Filed in Strategy

Narratives are a connected set of stories that together form a bigger story, one with a beginning, middle and end.

It’s a bit like a movie in which each scene is itself a small story. Take Star Wars. Early in the movie we meet Luke, who is living with his aunt and uncle, farming moisture on a remote homestead. One day he heads out in search of a wayward droid he bought, and when he returns he finds that his family has been slaughtered by Imperial Stormtroopers.

If something as bad as this happened to a family in our own city, there’s a good chance we would hear about it and we’d probably tell the story to someone else. It’s a small story in the larger Star Wars narrative.

But organisational life is not like a Hollywood movie, where each event is precisely crafted for maximum entertainment effect. When stories arise in a company, which happens all the time, it’s the leader’s role to choose which ones to tell, which to ignore, which to replace, even which new stories to trigger.

The choice that leaders make regarding which story to amplify is dependent on the context, strategy and desired culture in that period of the organisation’s existence. A leader’s values also have an impact. But these are not merely the result of top-down pressure exerted by a leadership team. Context is also created by the stories already being told. All the stories being told in an organisation reflect its culture. And if you want to change a culture, you will need to change the stories being told.

The Bible is a good example of a collection of stories that has been drawn on by leaders over an eon. It contains more stories than have ever been told by any one leader, church or even denomination. Rather, over the years, different leaders have selected different subsets of stories to tell that reflect their own purposes and goals. At the same time, their story choices have been filtered by what society wants or deems acceptable.

The same is true for organisations. Every company has a history. But rather than just relate that history, leaders need to choose stories from it – including ones from the here and now – which explain their strategies, their desired ethos and the principles that will bring their strategies to life.

So it’s important for a company to be aware of its stories, the ones that have been told and the ones being told right now. It’s only when armed with this knowledge that an organisation can choose what to emphasise and what to replace.

Unfortunately, with so much churn taking place in organisations, many of these stories are unknown to leaders. An extra complication is the misguided belief among some leaders that they should only focus on the future and leave the past behind. However, it’s been said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Worse still, leaders who are unaware of the past are unable to predict how people might react to new initiatives. Our stories are our best tool for predicting the future.

Stories are very much like habits – you can’t just stop a story; you can only replace it with a better one. This means understanding the triggers that cause a story to be told and working out the benefits of that story for the teller and the audience. Only then do you stand a chance of replacing it.

Narratives and Endings

Whether it’s a small story or the overarching narrative in which it sits, an ending helps make the point. Much of the meaning is wrapped up in the end. In selecting which stories to tell, leaders also select endings. Without those endings the listener is left hanging, and no-one likes to be left hanging. “To be continued” is the worst possible way to end a story.

Organisational narratives never sits still. Time rolls on and new story-worthy events happen. Leaders must choose new stories to add to the organisational narrative and decide to drop others. The narrative evolves.

In the case of the overarching narrative, the ending should not be confused with the storytelling skill of selecting an ending. When a leader selects a series of stories to create a (new) narrative, the stories fit together to form a beginning, middle and end, each element contributing to the point of the story.

Organisations should be looking to harness the complexity of their organisational narratives. Leaders cannot simply mandate a company story. But to forge the business they want, they should be aware of which stories are being told, and which stories they would like to be told and start recounting the ones they want to amplify.

Thanks to Col Duthie for the terrific conversation that sparked this post and taking a look at an early draft.

    Hi Shawn,
    Really interesting stuff. You were one of my first Linkedin contacts and I would love to catch up next time you are in Brisbane.

  2. Shawn Callahan Says:

    Thanks Warren. Love to catch up. I’m starting a project in Brisbane next year so plenty of opportunity to catch up.

  3. Mark Di Somma Says:

    Another great post Shawn.

    Just want to pick up on one point you made if I may:

    “All the stories being told in an organisation reflect its culture. And if you want to change a culture, you will need to change the stories being told.”

    I think that’s absolutely true for the inside story. But, with a couple of minor tweaks, I think it equally applies externally:

    All the stories being told by an organisation reflect its brand. And if you want to change the brand, you will need to change the stories being told.

    Thanks as always. Mark.

  4. Shawn Callahan Says:

    What you are saying makes a lot of sense to me. I’m working on a brand project as I write this comment up in Singapore. And the client is very aware of how the small stories affect their brand and the importance of sharing ones that illustrate the brand in action.

Antique Swords EU Display Cases

Victorian Naval Officers Court Sword, for sale

In aged and damaged condition, a rare Victorian Naval Officers Court sword.

Victorian Naval Officers Courtsword

Sales enquiries

A very rare sword but not in the best condition; a rare Victorian Naval Officers Court Sword. So this sword would have been worn by the naval officer when in formal (not naval) dress. SA regular court sword but with a fouled anchor (rather than a royal cypher) to the hilt / guard.

The 27 1/2 inch blade in generally good condition but with the very tip gone. Blade firm in hilt but probably as a result of repair. The gilt on brass hilt shows its frail composition / nature with bending and repairs. The leather and brass fittings scabbard is quite good. The sword sheathes and draws well.

You are paying for rarity here folks; just £350, try finding another! Please quote item reference T13. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 0731-1m (1.269).

No books in the library

Toilet paper

Would you want to use virtual toilet paper?

Years ago I remember one of my wife’s teenage students proudly announcing that there were “No books in the library” – something which made us roar with laughter at the time (after she’d left, of course) and has since gone on to become a bit of a catchphrase in our establishment for when someone can’t be bothered to make an effort.

Obviously our teenage friend (now long grown up, of course) was referring to there being no (easy to find) books on the particular subject matter that she was interested in and not claiming that some over-educated gang of thieves (such as local politicians) had taken it upon themselves to clean the library out. Nowadays, of course, the idea of there being no physical books in a library is far from nonsensical – in fact it can only be a matter of time for most such establishments.

After all, I can store tens of thousands of books on my tablet – just think what a 1 petabyte (1,000 Terabytes) hard drive could hold.

The trouble is that this then opens a huge can of worms. In the old days, you went along, found a book, signed it out to yourself, went home to read it and that was that. One book meant one borrower. With e-books that goes out the window.

One book – (potentially) billions of borrowers.

Thus, unless the library of the future insists that you read your book on the library’s premises, you are going to have to download the book onto your own device and then go home and read it. Given that DRM (Digital Rights Management) is no safeguard for an author against their book being ripped off, what is to stop the borrower from circulating it? At the moment, relatively few digital books are borrowed but, as libraries move inevitably towards virtuality, it’s an inescapable conclusion that this is going to be a major influence on sales of e-books.
