FILE -- Warriors owners Joe Lacob, left, and Peter Guber. (D. Ross Cameron/Staff)
FILE — Warriors owners Joe Lacob, left, and Peter Guber. (D. Ross Cameron/Staff)

The music has stopped, the snacks are gone and the party is over. Any euphoria felt by Warriors fans with the fall of the Chris Cohan era has given way to anxieties and debate over the capability of the new regime.

Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, the men now atop the organizational chart, haven’t been instant saviors. They haven’t delivered miracles or engineered dramatic improvement.

And with the new Warriors looking a lot like the old Warriors, impatient fans are growing restless. Moreover, clouds of skepticism are forming above Oracle Arena — directly over the head of Lacob, the managing member of ownership.

It’s much too early to conclude that Lacob won’t find the right answers. That wouldn’t be fair to a man who has been on the job since November. It’s not reasonable or rational to expect him to so quickly repair and redirect a vessel adrift for all but a few moments over the past 16 years.

It’s not unfair, however, to wonder if he can repair and redirect the thing at all.

By all accounts, Lacob already has influenced the culture at Warriors headquarters. He’s asking questions, prodding and probing. It’s apparent he wants everyone on the payroll working to improve the product. He projects energy. He said he’d be an active owner and he has been precisely that.

But action isn’t always productive or effective. Some of Lacob’s words and actions suggest he might perceive himself as not just the managing owner but the unofficial general manager. That’s perilous territory.

If Lacob is rolling up his sleeves and evaluating talent, it usurps the authority of official GM Larry Riley. It would compromise Riley’s ability to build the team as he sees fit, making him an executive scout, with Lacob making the final decisions.

Smelling smoke and wondering if there is any fire, I went to Riley in hopes of getting a measurement of the new owner’s involvement in personnel.

“You can say he’s very involved,” the GM said, before pausing.

“We have a climate today of new owners coming into the NBA and it seems like all of them are very active,” Riley continued. “I would characterize Joe as being right with them. Not over the top, but definitely involved — and always a guy who’s willing to talk basketball, in particular Golden State Warriors basketball.”

Owners in sports involve themselves at various levels. Most, like the Lakers’ Jerry Buss, serve as CEO and chief investor, paying the bills while allowing others to manage their particular departments. They delegate and oversee and sign paychecks.

A few owners, like Raiders boss Al Davis, do much more. They hire coaches, make trades, choose free agents and make decisions in the draft. They delegate some things and oversee everything, while dictating personnel and signing paychecks.

The fear, emerging recently, is that Lacob might prefer this blueprint.

“Oh, no, not at all,” Riley said, offering the anticipated defense of his boss. “We discuss players. We give rationale as to what this player can do, what that player can do. (Lacob) certainly has enough of a feel for players to ask questions about how they might fit. And in some cases, he has opinions about certain players.

“But he’s not sitting there saying, ‘I know all about basketball.’ That’s not him.”

Yet Lacob’s consistently lavish appraisal of David Lee, a good forward with an All-Star salary, is a red flag. And Lacob’s much-publicized comments about another player were an enormous red flag, flapping in the breeze, too visible to ignore.

You may recall Lacob defending the team’s inactivity at the trade deadline by saying, among other things, that the Warriors passed on Gerald Wallace, then with Charlotte, because he would not have helped.

“He’s not somebody we thought would make us better,” Lacob told Bay Area News Group columnist Tim Kawakami. “I really believe that. He just doesn’t fit for us. He’s a good defensive player, rebounder, certain things that do fit, certain things that don’t.”

Let’s see. Wallace, who can play either forward spot, was acquired by playoff-bound Portland. The Blazers are 9-6 since his debut, 5-2 since he moved into the starting lineup. He’s averaging 20.1 points (on 57 percent shooting) and 7.1 rebounds as a starter.

Though the Warriors likely could not have gotten him from the Bobcats, Wallace is precisely the kind of player — a member of the All-Defensive team — that the Warriors need. He would have allowed Dorell Wright to provide quality off the bench.

Riley declined to comment on Wallace, saying he couldn’t talk about players on other teams. Fair enough. But if Riley agrees, his evaluation comes into question.

Clueless or genius is a game fans play with their GM. They don’t want to play it with the owner. Ever. And Lacob would be wise to avoid it altogether, no matter how much he trusts his instincts.

In this country, where many of us Baby Boomers fought for women’s rights, a father controlling all aspects of his daughter’s life — especially whom she married — would not be tolerated.

In Shakespeare’s day, however, such actions were normal and expected. But whether a woman chooses a mate herself or her father decides on her husband, both can be fraught with dire consequences, as shown in Cal Shakes next play, “Romeo and Juliet.”

Running through July 28, Shakespeare’s well-known story of young love features Dan Clegg and Rebekah Brockman in the title roles. You might remember Clegg from Cal Shakes’ “The Taming of the Shrew” or “The Verona Project,” while Brockman was seen in last season’s “Blithe Spirit.”

Director Shana Cooper promises an inventive interpretation with a seven-member ensemble playing all the roles, crossing gender and doubling in surprising ways. While Clegg and Brockman have their hands full as Romeo and Juliet, Domenique Lozano takes on the Nurse and Lord Montague; Dan Hiatt is the Friar and Lord Capulet; Nick Gabriel portrays Tybalt and Paris; Arwen Anderson plays Benvolio and Lady Capulet; and Joseph Parks is Mercutio and the Apothecary.

“One of the things I love about this play is the extraordinary twists of tone,” says Cooper. “The first half is flooded with these little miracles of joy, love and bawdy, bold humor that distract us from the raw, violent reality of the world. In the miracle of the young lovers’ discovery of each other, we see love’s capacity to transform us into our best selves.”

    In our high-tech world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the gadgets and special effects that seem to come at us from all sides. Offering the perfect respite from this overload, Under the Sun Studios presents two radio dramas. Instead of elaborate special effects and lighting, radio drama uses such decidedly low-tech alternatives as high-heel shoes hitting a hard surface for a horse trot, or a box of silverware and a container of sand for other sounds needed in a script. The strictly-audio medium relies on the vocal talents of the actors and the dexterity of those producing the sound effects. Imagine you could have a power outage and that the show could still go on!

    Under the Sun Studios presents Bill Chessman’s “Does it Bother You When I … ?” and “Seven Fingers and Three Toes of Death” on July 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. and on July 7 at 2 p.m. at 2956 Treat Blvd., Suite B, in Concord.

    The first show tells of an intern working for the foremost brain researcher who begins to question his experiments. The second show follows the trials of a couple being chased by thugs. Tickets are $10 and available at the door right before performances.

    The lights are still out at Orinda’s Community Center Park Amphitheatre, so the Orinda Starlight Village Players have decided to postpone the second show of the season.

    Construction on an adjoining property resulted in PG&E removing an electrical hub and relocating it. The construction of the new electrical connection is supposed to be completed by mid-July. Until then, the tennis courts, park pathways and the amphitheater remain dark. Starlight’s artistic director Geotty Chapple plans to open the second show, “A Thurber Carnival,” on Aug. 2.

    If you’re in the mood for a classic musical with stunning views of the Bay, you can’t do much better than Woodminster Amphitheater’s production of “Annie Get Your Gun.” This Irving Berlin favorite plays July 12- 21 in Oakland’s Joaquin Miller Park, 3300 Joaquin Miller Road.

    Just remember to take your eyes off the dazzling view long enough to enjoy Berlin’s gorgeous music, sharpshooter Annie Oakley and all the colorful characters in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. For tickets, call 510-531-9597 or go to

Embittered U.S. Cavalry officer Captain Joseph J. Blocker (Christian Bale) is given the task of accompanying Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi) and his family from Fort Berringer, an isolated Army outpost in New Mexico, back to their tribal lands in Montana in the late 1890s, in order to make sure they arrive safely without incident. Yellow Hawk, who has spent seven years in captivity, has cancer, and wants to die in peace on his own land.

Blocker hates "Indians," having slaughtered many of them himself, and having nearly died at the hands of a Kiowa. Although he sees them as nothing but savages, he's still forced to accept the assignment. Once he and his soldiers get out of sight of the fort, he orders that the Chief and his family are put in chains.

Along the way, they come across grieving widow Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), who lost her husband and children during an attack on her homestead by members of another Native American tribe. Not knowing what else to do, Blocker has her join them on their journey as they try to survive the hostile territories that they must cross to reach Montana.

Eldon’s enclosures protect equipment in both indoor and outdoor set-ups

Operating a port efficiently and effectively requires a well functioning infrastructure including efficient information gathering for various actions to be initiated. Auxiliary services are also needed to carry out standard tasks.

Field information on weather conditions, maritime traffic and emergency services has to be collected through various systems and field equipment such as traffic signals, and lighting needs to be controlled. In addition, auxiliary services such as crane operation and water, electricity and oil supply must operate according to the needs required. For all these functions and equipment, Eldon offers a wide range of enclosures and accessories to host and protect electronic and electric equipment.

Shipping accounts for most of the World’s commercial freight transport
The fact that shipping is the major form of the transportation of goods around the world puts a lot of pressure on today’s seaports. The relatively traditional approach to conducting business in ports is being challenged by demands for greater efficiency and customer focus. The response in many countries is to invite private sector companies to become involved throughout the range of port operations, which provides an opportunity to eliminate bureaucratic operating procedures and controls and modernize facilities and equipment through new financing channels.

Port authorities worldwide are under increasing pressure to turn over port operations to the private sector. They are being forced by competitive pressures to step into a landlord and regulatory role, focusing on the administrative activities that public entities do best.

Cargo volumes to rise significantly
In its 2013 report “Europe’s Seaports 2030: Challenges Ahead”, the European Commission stated that with only modest assumptions of economic growth, port cargo volumes are expected to rise by 50% by 2030 and even more for the fast growing traffic of containers.

Within the EU alone, there are over 1,200 commercial seaports operating along some 70,000 km of coastline, which makes Europe one of the densest port regions in the world. The report pinpointed 319 of these as key seaports with another 83 recognized as core networks. This illustrates the massive potential for upgrading ports and their activities to cope with ever increasing shipping volumes.

Eldon is ready to take part in the future development of ports throughout the world with its comprehensive range of standard and special enclosures and accessories.

Eldon’s contribution to Seaports

Eldon’s solutions for various seaport applications include a wide range of enclosures in different dimensions, wall mounted and floor standing for indoor and outdoor usage, with different fixing options and a wide range of accessories. Security aspects and anti-vandalism measures are taken into account, as well as the potential need for thermal management.

To further support customers within or delivering to seaports, Eldon offers modification possibilities of the standard product range plus assembly services, which means that customer specific accessories can be pre-mounted at the Eldon factory.

User/Customer Needs Eldon’s Response

Enclosures for many different environments Full range of wall mounted and floor standing mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum enclosures

Keep water and dust out for outdoor applications IP 66 for single door enclosures. IP 66 for double door (compact) for the aluminum range

Protect against vandalism Panel joints are gapless. All fitting elements and screws are hidden and not accessible from the outside

Minimize total operating costs Double wall enclosures for outdoor applications offer natural cooling minimizing the heat load from the sun, avoiding the need for extra cooling

Meet all regulations The enclosures are tested according to the relevant standard for empty enclosures IEC62208. On top of this Eldon meets the general standard EN 69169-3 for outdoor enclosures

Guys, and Gals I have been electrician for 15yrs, Master, and blaw blaw blaw, But are the younger generation not receiving the training, or paying attention to the trade as well as. Why I'm asking! I am working for a very large firm that employs about 100 people. Overtime (electricians) are given projects to run, and as I travel to check on some I hear these lead men telling their guys things from their learning days that are untrue, ridiculous, and unsafe. I know it's our job to correct them, and undo the damage. Often thou we end up only defending ourselves as thou we was the wrong ones here.
Any thoughts.....

welcome bradyap,

there are many who, on receipt of licensure
( or whatever quailfies them) simply throw the good book away, quite the shame IMHO, to operate at the standards of the 1986 book, after such tedious study....

i think you'll find this forum's members try to keep up with the latest NEC , and are rather protective of our trade in general, and would sincerely endevor a 'passing of the torch' as well as could be done.

I have been teaching apprentice electricans for 30 years and have noticed a very disturbing trend. Each year there seems to be fewer young people that are interested in learning how the system and equipment works.

Whenever I try to present the background knowledge (we used to call it theory) I get the response - "Is it in the test?"

The priority seems to have shifted over the years from learn the trade to get that license.

And some of these guys are talking about becoming contractors. They believe their employers are making too much money (for doing nothing) and they want to get in on it.
Are they in for a surprise!!!

look at the bright side , after certain 'realizations' there are those that would seek your expertise , and lend an ear to 'how the system works'......

I have been in industrial maintenance for the past 8+ years. I just graduated with honors, with an Associate degree in Industrial Electrical Maintenance and after 4yrs of college i have come to notice and the instructers agree with me that our society and the kids in school today are more worried about the GPA or grade than if they learned anything at all. I believe what one instructer said i would rather give a guy a lower grade and know he learned the material and knows how to do than give a guy an A for memorizing the info long enough to take a test.

Welcome bradyap,
I hear you. I'm 35 years old, masters, blaw, blaw, joined the Navy at 19, blaw, blaw, blaw, in the trade 12 years. After 4 years in the Nav, I went through the JATC here in Houston. There were many like that in my class. I've found that people want their check at the end of the week, but they don't want to do any more than "what is required" to get it. Many people will try to do less, if they can get away with it.
When I look at my own life, sometimes I have to say that I'm guilty of the very same thing.
IMHO what are some of the factors that contribute to this problem. Selfiness...what's in it for me?
Inability to delay gratification.....I want it now.
No doesn't matter how I do it this....why do I have to be on time?
Laziness....I don't feel like doing that, so, I'm not going to.
John Adams said, "Endevour to be a good man, and a useful citizen."
I don't think that you can have one without the other.
If we could solve the problem that you described above, we would be heroes. I think the answer lies within each person. We all need to decide to do right, and excel in all that we do.

I KNOW the problem well. Ed, this is my 19th year of teaching apprentices, I expect we could swap some stories.

Steve, I don't know what it was but I never could stand that some apprentice/journeyman knew more than me about the subject at hand. It most certainly did not come easy, but I would read anything I could on the subject at hand until I was also competent, you're right, I don't see a lot of that anymore.

I like to draw 3 coils on the board and ask the students to connect them for Open, closed Delta, and then Wye, that usually gets their attention, and they usually find it pretty neat that by the end of my first semester they can not only connect them on the board and in class, (instead of spitting out an answer in rote memory for a test) but understand why a delta is always a high leg with a neutral, and why a wye is 208 and not 240.

I also jog them from their first year ( you know where they learn all that useless dc electronic theory) by asking them how a capacitor works. About the time they tell me it's a conductor with an insulator around it (sometimes they go further, sometimes not, depends on the class) I hold up a foot long piece of THHN, then slip it into a 8" piece of pipe. NOW we can begin our true discussion of induction, it's benefits, and it's problems.

Just some of the things I do to perk their ears up, seems to help most of the time.

I'll throw out my 2 cents on this one because it happened to me. It's not always the students who are the problem. We had some like bradap is talking about too.
I went through a state approved apprenticeship course through the local community college where I was located. Let me say that I was very eager to do this I had been in the trade for about 6 years before I even started it. I knew I had some big holes to fill in my head. Went through the semester using the required text for lessons maybe 3 times. Other than that we used the handouts prepared by the instructors, which were good and very informative but, it was his own curriculum. Very little lessons on theory had to learn that on our own.

Second year starts, instructor comes in and says we are supposed to learn Blah blah blah "but I figure most of you guys have been doing that for awhile so we will jump right into motor controls". Half way through the year he is injured in an accident. Replacement instructor comes in pulls out the text asks where we are and we all say "we haven't even used it yet" almost in unison, no one was happy about shelling out $100 on a book that we weren't using. The Replacement instructor finished year 2 and we were lucky enough to have him for year 3. He did his absolute best to fill in what we had missed after learning how the first year and a half went.

Fourth year was O.K except that the instructor’s claim to fame was he could "do anything faster and cheaper than anyone around” Lets just say he was what most would call a hack. The owner of the company I worked for cringed when he found out who the fourth year instructor was. The guy was known as a hack around town. He even handed out his time saving techniques for speed! All of them seemed to compromise safety, integrity or NEC.

This has really been burning at me since I started coming to this board. I don't always have the confidence in some areas to jump in. But I am always lurking about when time allows filling in the gaps. [Linked Image]

It's not just a problem in America.

The way I work means that I don't come into contact with others that often these days, but on the occasions that I do I'm surprised at what they don't seem to understand.

I've run into those who knew how to apply proper grounding and bonding, but could not explain why it is done or what would happen without it.

Another example which comes to mind is the guy who was having trouble sizing wire for some low-voltage lighting. The instructions that came with the xfmr told him what size to use for the 16A or so on the 12V secondary, so that wasn't a problem. But he then started choosing the primary wire based on a 16A rating, and didn't seem able to grasp the concept that at 240V the primary current would be under 1 amp.

I can only assume that he was taught to just look up the current rating in the wire tables and did not really understand the relationship between amps, volts, and watts.

I'm firmly of the opinion that anyone in this field should not know "just enough" to install wiring as per the book, but should also have a thorough understanding of the principles and theory to know why something is done a certain way.

If any of you live in states where the school system uses standard tests to qualify students for advancement to next grade level or graduation, you will be seeing more and more of those entering electrical training wanting to be taught the test. That is what is now done in Texas schools. At a school board candidates forum a couple of years ago I asked if, in light of the shortage of trades persons, was the board planning to include trade training as part of the curriculum. The answer was that time and money spent on teaching trades would take away from being able to teach the TAAS. The students are being taught that the way to advance in school is to learn what will be on the test, learn those answers in the format that the test presents them, and any other learning is not of value.

Good Article on Housing

Discussion in 'Economics' started by 1flyfisher, Oct 24, 2007.

  1. Its not a good article. Following the oil boom, there was an (almost) permanent loss of jobs in those areas of Texas. The article didn't consider the high unemployment rate. If they had, they'd see it isn't an apples to apples comparison....but that doesn't scare people, does it?

    Here's a link I found with 3 minutes of googling. Lots of stuff about hurricanes in there, but it tells the back story behind the Texas oil boom.
  2. Red apples to green apples maybe but still A good comparison of SOME of the similiarities taking place in the housing sector then and now.

Wow, you can sell an iron butterfly/condor at nearly no risk on AMZN

Discussion in 'Options' started by demoship, Jul 24, 2007.

  1. 70/72.5/75 iron butterfly:

    Proceeds: 8.80 on sale of the 72.50 straddle

    Expense: 6.60 on buying the 70/75 strangle.

    This is assuming 10c slippage on every leg (40c total), and you're still getting a net credit of 2.20. If you get decent fills, you can probably get that up to 2.45.

    Numbers are similar for a 67.5 / 70 / 72.5 / 75 iron condor

    Just shows how ridiculous the volatility is on amzn.
  2. ssmegner

    Yes. But only about 17% probablity of making any money at expiration.

  3. It could be an ok way to play earnings, perhaps in concert with another position thats gamma positive. If you're just risking .30, figure that you'll make at least that much in profit by tomorrow if AMZN stays in the 70 - 75 range, since you'll benefit from an IV crush.
  4. Less if you figure the stock has to finish right on the strike price exactly to get the full max reward. Lowers the odds of success substantially. Low probability play with a high risk/high reward scenario. makes sense.

  5. Yeah, it seems like it could be decent as a quick play on IV...with everyone calling for a massive move in one direction or the other tomorrow, I'd take the .30 in risk for a cheap contrarian trade...

  6. just buy some puts and/or go short.

    everything is disappointing - hell, google sold off on a 3c miss. and if the stock doesn't sell off, then we're all screwed.
  7. jj90

    Now if only I went naked long calls on AMZN instead of a muted spread. I was gonna go long 55 puts on NTRI too. Hindsight is a bitch....

I Was Given 'Acne' For The Day; World Mental Health Day 2015

Last week I was invited to work on something for World Mental Health Day. I don't really know how to put it into words. I've never done anything like this before but I am always up for speaking out about things. I was asked by Pharmacy2U if I'd like to have acne for the day. Not to make fun of people with acne of course, but to kind of see what it's like/see how people make you feel (obviously it isn't 100% the same but I wanted to try do this to raise even a tiny bit of awareness after reading some upsetting statistics about acne sufferers). There are statistics which show depression levels are really high in people who have acne and this really struck a chord with me. I was basically asked if I'd like to walk around with acne for the day to see if people looked at me differently/see how I felt. Let's discuss further...
I was given some statistics about acne sufferers from research by Pharmacy2U have done and it really brought it home for me which is one of the main reasons I decided to go ahead and do this. I am all for raising awareness of things so was actually really upset when I found out that 1 in 7 people with acne suffer from depression. Life is not about the way you look but unfortunately the world sometimes makes us feel that way. I'm guilty of scrolling through my Instagram feed and thinking 'I wish I looked like her'. We all know that Instagram is clever though, we only show the 'best parts' of our lives and don't share all the bad parts so technically we're only comparing ourselves to the best part of someones day when in fact, they could've had a really rubbish week. I won't go into this debate fully because I could rant forever but Instagram, blogs, magazines, the media do make us feel like we have to look good all the time sometimes. Constant gossip columns slating women for being too curvy but then they slate them when they're too thin too. How do we win? Online internet trolls scrutinising how people look but 'it's okay because you put yourself out there so you deserve what comes with that'. I myself was abused via the internet only this week and accused of 'having a sugar daddy' because I've worked hard and stayed in a nice hotel? No, this is wrong. No-one deserves to be insulted because of the way they look. No-one deserves to be insulted whatsoever. Everyone looks different, everyone has their own 'flaws' but what is perfect? Honestly, I could discuss this topic forever. We're constantly comparing ourselves or constantly doing things to make our appearances look better. Some people make themselves look better to impress others, some people do it for themselves. What I'm getting at here is that 1 in 7 people are suffering with depression because of acne and that is a huge number. 1 in 2000 shouldn't be suffering let alone 1 in 7.

Depression/anxiety/mental health in general is something that I do not think should be a taboo, I am always up for using my voice and shouting things that matter in order to raise awareness and help others which is why I decided to work with Pharmacy2U on this important topic.

I went to some offices where I met up with a make up artist who would paint my face so it looked like I had acne. I was then going to go around the city for the day and get on with my day to day routine and see how I felt/if people acted differently towards me.

According to research by Pharmacy2U it can take people with acne up to 13 months to pluck up the courage to see a doctor. The worst statistic for me though is that almost 1 in 20 people with acne self-harm. This actually really upsets me and takes me back to my original argument that it really shouldn't matter what you look like. People shouldn't care but unfortunately we live in a world where people do care, people do judge and some people just aren't very nice.

Walking around the city was weird, I felt like my confidence was low. Even when I have just one spot I do tend to feel a little bit rubbish about myself - I know I shouldn't but I think it's a hormonal thing, one spot can really make you feel just a bit rubbish. I'm suffering at the moment with some underneath spots along my jaw-line, I assume from stress/worry but they're really getting me down. I know a lot of girls don't like to go out without make up on, I personally try to gym without make up but I feel so so self-conscious when have a little spot and I have to gym without my make up on. I went to meet my friend for coffee and even just walking out of the office and down the street people did stare at my face, a lot. Fair enough I realise they were painted on pretty red and usually people do try and cover it up but you shouldn't have to try and cover them up. No-one should be shamed for the way they look/feel ashamed/feel unconfident. You should be able to walk down the street looking however you want in my opinion. If you want to wear no make up, you should wear no make up and hold your head up high, feeling proud. People shouldn't stare but I guess it's human nature to do so. I noticed that a lot of people looked at me as if they felt sorry for me but they still couldn't help but stare. What I did notice most though is that I found myself walking with my head down or trying to kind of cover my face. I did feel like I lacked confidence and I'm annoyed at myself for not just walking around with my head held up high.  It just goes to show that the way people look at us can make us feel unconfident.

The woman behind the till could barely serve me in the coffee shop, she was almost scared of my face which I found quite insulting and rude. My friend couldn't believe it either. Sitting down for lunch was interesting as people in the queue did keep looking at me, again, some looked like they felt sorry for me but some seemed to think I was there to literally glare at. We left the coffee shop and stood outside for a bit catching up (for quite some time I held my head up high and forgot anything was on my face but people would look at me and then I'd instantly go back into my shell). One woman literally came up to my face to glare at me, I couldn't believe it. It was a really odd experience, people in the office said I was 'brave' for going out and doing it but people suffer every single day with acne (my Mum had severe acne until about a year ago) and I know just how much it affected her. I know how it made her feel/how many people bullied her about it as a child and I really don't want anyone else to ever go through that. When I told her I had to 'walk around with acne for the day' she said, 'you're walking around how I used to look every day' and that really made me upset. No-one should feel ashamed to walk around without make up on, acne, scarring, no-acne, anything. A lot of people I've shown this to have said 'yeh but you'd cover it up, it wouldn't be as red' but my argument is, you shouldn't have to cover up your face. Wear your skin with pride (easier said than done I know). I do not think anyone should ever feel so bad about their appearance that they have to cover their face, feel a lack of confidence or worse, feel depressed/want to self-harm. 1 in 7 people haven’t tried any treatments to help their acne but there are treatments out there, obviously they won't work for everyone but there is help available if you are feeling down about acne. It took my Mum until she was 50 to finally find the right treatment for her skin! You can find out more about Pharmacy2U's campaign here

I   I worked with Pharmacy2U on this and really hope it will make people stop and think this World Mental Health day. If you have a voice please use it. If you're feeling low/know someone who's feeling low, try and speak to someone. I know it's difficult, but there is help available.

     You can watch my vlog of the day below here (pretty please click here to subscribe to my YouTube channel too! It would mean the world to me!)

Lots of love, Em x

Refractory Epilepsy

It has been demonstrated that as many as two out of three patients treated for epilepsy have seizures that are refractory (not responsive) to therapy, either because they have incomplete control of their seizures or they experience side effects from treatment that interfere with their quality of life making compliance with treatment difficult.

Besides requiring additional medical evaluation, patients with refractory seizures may benefit from education about seizure triggers and medication management. A research project funded by the Centers for Disease Control (Pugh et al, Neurology 2007;69:2020-7)developed a set of quality care measures pertaining to patients with refractory seizures. The following actions were rated as both valid and necessary indicators of quality care for patients with refractory seizures.

1. IF the diagnosis or seizure type remains unclear after the initial evaluations, or the patient has  recurrent seizures THEN the patient should be referred to the next highest level of epilepsy care.

2. WHEN a patient with epilepsy receives follow-up care, THEN an estimate of the number of  seizures since the last visit and an assessment of drug side effects should be documented.

3. IF the patient reports unacceptable side-effects from AED monotherapy, THEN an alternative AED  should be started (with carefully planned crossover).

4. IF use of at least two different AED monotherapies has not resulted in seizure freedom, THEN   referral for more highly specialized epilepsy care is indicated.

5. IF a person with epilepsy is found to have evidence of a mood disorder (e.g., depression, anxiety)  THEN s/he should receive treatment or a referral for mental health care.

6. IF the patient continues to have seizures after initiating treatment THEN interventions should be   performed.

Options include:

Compliance assessment/enhancement

Monitor AED blood levels

Increase AED dose

Change AED

Patient education re: lifestyle modification

Referral to higher level of epilepsy care

Raw Milk Bill Scheduled for Vote in the Texas House

Austin, TX, May 05, 2015 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Texas lawmakers will have the opportunity to make it easier for consumers to buy raw milk on Thursday, when House Bill 91 is scheduled to come up for a vote on the floor of the House.

The bill, which was approved by the Public Health Committee, will loosen the current regulations that only allow raw milk to be sold on the farm by allowing dairy farmers to sell raw milk at farmers’ markets and to make delivery arrangements with their customers.

“Currently, Texans have to travel to a licensed dairy to buy raw milk,” explained Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance Executive Director Judith McGeary. “This bill reduces costs and hassle for consumers, while allowing farmers a fair opportunity to market their products,” she continued.

Kris Errickson, whose 13-year old daughter testified to the Public Health Committee in favor of the bill, explained the impact raw milk had on her daughter’s health. “My daughter suffered from food allergies and eczema for much of her life. Her condition changed for the better after implementing a strict diet including raw milk. However, for the past two years my husband battled terminal brain cancer. Driving hours for raw milk was too burdensome, so she had no milk during this time, and her eczema recently returned.”

Texas State Rep. Dan Flynn(R-Canton), the bill’s sponsor, has called it a “free-enterprise” bill. “If you have a legal product, it seems like you should be able to sell it at a farmer’s market,” Flynn told committee members at a hearing on April 21.

Mark Hutchins, a second generation raw milk dairy farmer from Greenville who also testified at the hearing, encouraged the full House to pass the legislation. “The House should affirm that licensed, regulated and legal raw milk is a safe product that ought to be more readily available to interested consumers.

“As a raw milk producer myself, I know how hard raw milk farmers work to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of their loyal customers, and how much it means to customers to be able to access this product. I urge the Texas House to quickly pass HB 91 and support the freedom of farmers and consumers to choose what is best for their families’ health and safety.”

A fact sheet on HB 91 is available at:

The National Trust joins fight to save the great British pud

The National Trust has announced it is backing a Government Minister’s call to save the great British pudding.

After being appointed in a recent cabinet reshuffle, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson urged people to be patriotic with their puddings, choosing traditional British recipes over foreign imports. In an interview with Farmers Weekly, Paterson said: “There is a huge dessert deficit in this country. We have a huge opportunity to replace imported desserts with desserts made here.”

He encouraged diners to swap desserts such as crème brulee and panna cotta, which use imported dairy products, for traditional favourites like apple crumble, treacle tart and spotted dick.

The news comes as the National Trust prepares to launch its autumn pudding campaign, with free puddings throughout the month of October with every lunchtime meal purchased in its selected cafes and restaurants.

The flavour of the month will be great British puddings, all made from seasonal ingredients – a reminder to visitors at National Trust places just how good a British pud can be.

A recent National Trust online poll of people’s favourite autumn puddings found that dishes using seasonal ingredients remained the popular first choice, despite the modern trend of year-round food availability using foreign imports*.

Clive Goudercourt, Development Chef for the National Trust, said: “We pride ourselves on baking our own food using the best of British ingredients, many grown on National Trust estates and farms.

“We hope our delicious, home-cooked puddings will inspire people to choose traditional recipes and celebrate Britain’s best food across the seasons.”

Clive added: “British, seasonal food is tastier, fresher and more nutritious. It is better value, better for the environment and better for your wallet.”

Delicious examples of fresh autumn food can be enjoyed for free when customers spend over £5.75 on a main lunchtime meal at over 100 National Trust locations across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

To find out more about this offer, and to download free recipes to help save the Great British pud, visit and download a voucher (offer is valid from Monday 1st October until Wednesday 31st October 2012).

There’s also the chance to walk off those autumn puddings on a Great British Walk with the National Trust. Visit for more information and to download hundreds of free walking routes.

The Co-operative Backs British Farming

The Co-operative Group is championing British farming with a major in-store push featuring British growers on its fresh produce packaging. Four Co-operative Group farmers: Lucy Mason, from Kent; Russell Armstrong, from Cambridgeshire; William Barnett, from Herefordshire; and Jack Parsons, from East Yorkshire, will be pictured on the packaging alongside other British growers who supply produce to almost 3,000 Co-operative food stores.

The new packaging, featuring a large Union Jack and photographs and comments from the British farmers who grow the fruit and vegetables for The Co-operative, will be rolled out over the next 12 months in line with the British season for each crop.

As the UK’s only supermarket to also run a major farming business, The Co-operative is backing British growers and emphasising the quality and freshness of its fruit and veg, and the care taken to get the best British products and seasonal food to its stores.

The Co-operative Farms, one of Britain’s largest farmers, which has farmed the land for more than 100 years, will play a key role in the rebrand of all its British primary produce packaging.

Christine Tacon, Managing Director of The Co-operative Farms, said: “The Co-operative has a long heritage in farming and we supply significant volumes of produce from our own farms to our food stores. Research told us that our customers trust British farmers to deliver great quality produce and they value our support of UK farming.

“This bold new packaging will highlight key British produce lines when they are available in store and demonstrate our continued commitment to British farming. It will also enable our customers to support these growers and also get the freshest and highest-quality products, when they are at their best – during the traditional British seasons.”

The launch will feature promotional lines of Cox’s apples, Conference pears, Maris Piper potatoes and onions, which are also grown on The Co-operative Farms’ estates in Tillington in Herefordshire, Highland Court in Kent, Coldham in Cambridgeshire and Goole in East Yorkshire.

A new QR (Quick Response) code will also appear on packs of pears, potatoes, apples and onions that will link to a website with more details on the product, the growers and recipes.

The new packaging will replace the “Grown By Us” range.

Customers Willing To Wait For Their Orders While Gourmet Food Company Struggles To Find Working Capital

Eight years ago Susan Knapp began making Cinnamon Pear Jelly in her kitchen as a holiday treat. When she realized there was a demand for her healthy and delicious pear creations, she left her lucrative executive position to focus on building her own gourmet food company.

Knapp launched Aunt Sue’s in 1998 with four products, each one winning top awards at the Lake County and California State Fairs. As the company gained momentum, Knapp changed the name to A Perfect Pear from Napa Valley and introduced 15 new products. Now, major wholesale customers include Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Disney, Luxor Hotel & Casino, and the United States Navy, in addition to hundreds of boutique retailers, wineries, restaurants, and caterers across the nation.

Knapp’s commitment to make healthy products that taste delicious, look beautiful, and are friendly to the environment has propelled her company to the brink of the big leagues. And yet, the business is struggling. “Our problem has never been sales,” Knapp says. “Our biggest challenge is undercapitalization.”

With product rapidly flying off the shelves, Knapp finds herself in a unique position: over $100,000 in pending holiday backorders and not enough cash in reserves to manufacture. The rising costs of raw goods and the current credit crunch had brought a rapid halt to production, and yet, the customers are willing to wait.

“Everyday I get calls from customers who tell me they can no longer find our products,” says customer service rep Kat Patterson. “I have to tell them that we are sold out and unfortunately, we don’t know when we will be able to make more. They always tell me they’ll wait. They love our products and don’t care how long it takes. But I know people are anxious to place their holiday orders.”

“Each time I go to production I am making more product, which is great!” Knapp says. “But that also means I always need more money to keep up with growing demand.”

With SBA and bank loans halted, Knapp is now seeking funding from private parties. In this economic crisis, we’re thinking outside of the box and we’re getting pretty creative.”

Knapp currently needs $200,000 to fill backorders and put inventory on the shelves for the busy holiday season. She could save money by using less expensive ingredients and materials, but refuses to cut corners on quality. “Our commitment is to make healthy, delicious products with all-natural, mostly organic and mostly local ingredients. Our customers expect that and are willing to wait. They know we’ll be back.”

Venulum Reports That Its Venture Capital Lobster Farm Project Has Successfully Managed To Breed Caribbean Spiny Lobsters

Venulum, private wealth management firm based in the British Virgin Islands, has successfully managed to breed Caribbean Spiny Lobsters in commercial quantities in controlled conditions in the British Virgin Islands.

Significant recent catches of juvenile lobsters have been heartening. It is too early to say whether these numbers reflect the early season peak in numbers or the average settlement rate. When compared with previous research, the highly regular settlement rate matches that of the average settlement during a small-scale investigation between 2001-2003.

Giles Cadman, chairman of Venulum said: “It has taken us nearly two years of careful evolution of the collection process but we should now be capable of replicating it throughout the Caribbean, Australia and Asia to provide numerous business opportunities to fishers and young entrepreneurs.

“The numbers are very impressive, indicating that settlement is spatially uniform and that collection systems perform equally well at depth as on the surface and so the entire harvest can remain subsurface away from boat traffic.”

The lobster farm has been built at the Pockwood Pond site on Tortola, the largest island in the British Virgin Islands, and should be fully operational once hurricane protection has been completed on-site early next year.

The farm site is progressing with general finishing and fabrication work moving to completion. The Venulum management team has approved the construction of a mould for large-scale fabrication of tanks according to precise requirements. Experimental storage systems have been deployed in favourable deep water locations in the hope that these will be useful as holding accommodation for ‘post larvae’ while farm infrastructure is completed. If effective, Venulum hope these devices will prove vital in reducing the cost and time commitment of early culture operations.

The collection and breeding programme is based on knowledge gained from research undertaken by Rob Power, Director of Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries, who undertook his research in conjunction with the World Fish Centre. “I have been working on the principle of a sustainable business model for over ten years,” explains Rob “and we are continuing our ongoing research and development programme to finesse the process, with the emphasis on sustainability.”

He adds “Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries also intends working with local communities to build small scale lobster farming operations offering business opportunities to fishermen whose wild resource has been depleted to the point that it is no longer viable to continue fishing.

“Our aim is to produce consistent, high quality lobster that seafood purchasers can recognise as both sustainable and consistently good” explains Cadman. “Venulum has a large wine business and by working with many small wine producers, we have the experience and understanding to support them. The same principles apply to the fishing industry and we are using our experience to create a business model that can be easily replicated without the need for significant capital cost.”

With the steady progress to date, we can look forward to the first market sized lobsters in around 18 months from now.

Exult is one of New Zealand’s leading training providers for the community sector.

Our mission is to provide training and support that inspires, equips and re-energises community organisations and we pride ourselves in providing practical resources in everyday language. We believe that people (and organisations) thrive when they are given real support without all the ‘fluff and jargon’ - so that’s what we do.

It’s been a few years since we have hosted workshops in the deep South, so we thought we’d bring you a couple of taster sessions and let you attend absolutely free. There are limited spaces available in each workshop, so you will still have to register ahead of time to secure your space, but there is absolutely no cost to you. It’s our way of saying ‘thanks for being patient!’.

So if you are sick of scrambling from one funding round to the next, or you just want some fresh fundraising ideas, this workshop is for you. This 2-hour session is the condensed version of our full day Sustainable Funding Workshop ( It’s still full of fantastic ideas and information, but at an extra-fast pace.

In this workshop you will discover:
- The 7 key income streams for Community Groups. Are you using them all, and if so, how can you make them stronger?
- The difference between Donations, Sponsorship and Grants. What does it really take to secure all three? Are you approaching each one in the right way?
- How to get more people helping with your Fundraising efforts. Why is it the same people doing all of the work, all of the time?
- Simple tips and tricks for raising more money, more often. How can you work smarter, not harder?

This express style workshop gives you loads of practical ideas that you can implement in your organisation straight away. We guarantee you will leave with a whole host of things you can’t wait to get started on.

Register before 20th October and go in the draw to win a $100 Prezzy card. Winner must be at the workshop to receive their prize.

18 July 2017

CentrEd, ExCeL London’s state-of-art meetings and training venue, is on track to double revenues in its second year.

Opened in January 2016, CentrEd at ExCeL has welcomed 15,000 delegates to a variety of different events from training and graduate programmes to networking, meetings and team building, with clients including Restaurant Associates UK, Barclays plc, the NHS, IQPC, Pearson and The Decanter World Wine Awards.

More recently, CentrEd was chosen by ADNEC to host their latest board meeting with ExCeL, attended by Her Excellency Noura Mohammed Hilal Al Kaabi, the UAE Minister of State for Federal National Council Affairs and Chairwoman of ADNEC Group.

There has been continued investment in CentrEd including the opening of Locked In A Room, an onsite escape room experience, allowing organisers to combine their event with a fun, team building activity.

Rachel Williams, Business Development Manager for CentrEd at ExCeL, comments: “CentrEd’s success is proof that we’ve created the right product and our location, alongside Royal Victoria Dock, provides the right environment for training and meetings. With Crossrail opening next year, CentrEd will be become one of the best connected venues in London and South East. Our clients will have the ability to attract more delegates, from across London and the UK, delivering them to our front door in record time.”
