Must List

Watch: The Riverdale season two trailer is here!

If you're totally obsessed with Riverdale, then you were probably shocked by the season one finale. After all, it ended on a *major* cliffhanger—and we need answers ASAP!

The first trailer for season two dropped over the weekend at Comic-Con, and it looks like we’re finally going to learn what really happened to Archie's dad, Fred, after the shooting at Pop's. While the trailer mainly focuses on that sitch, we also got a brief peek at what life is like for Cheryl and her mom after C torched Thornhill.

While the trailer didn’t show all of the season two deets, the cast spilled that we’re going to be meeting lots of new characters like Veronica’s dad, Hiram, and Jughead’s mom and sister. And we can’t wait to see what’s in store for Betty and Jughead’s relationship now that Jughead goes to Southside High.

So, even though the mystery of Jason Blossom’s murder has been solved, it looks like we have a new mystery for the gang to unravel. Now, all we have to do is wait until Oct. 11 to *finally* get some answers!

How excited are you for season two of Riverdale? Tell us in the comments below!

It seems more correct to call the float versions (sinf(), cosf() etc.). This makes a difference on x86_64, I'm not entirely sure why, but this way at least generates more consistent results and avoids extra promotion/demotion instructions when calling these primitives. fix a deadlock in atomicModifyMutVar# 2006-02-21T16:37:11+00:00 Simon Marlow atomicModifyMutVar# was re-using the storage manager mutex (sm_mutex) to get its atomicity guarantee in SMP mode. But recently the addition of a call to dirty_MUT_VAR() to implement the read barrier lead to a rare deadlock case, because dirty_MUT_VAR() very occasionally needs to allocate a new block to chain on the mutable list, which requires sm_mutex. warning fix 2006-02-21T16:33:08+00:00 Simon Marlow Mention the 'Encoding' module in 2006-02-21T10:51:47+00:00 Lemmih Loosen the rules for instance declarations (Part 3) 2006-02-13T16:10:44+00:00 Ross Paterson Relax the restrictions on derived instances in the same way, so we can write data MinHeap h a = H a (h a) deriving (Show) If we don't have libreadline then we need some dummy definition for complete*... 2006-02-12T09:50:19+00:00 unknown SMP bugfix: reload capability from task->cap after scheduleDoGC 2006-02-12T03:47:36+00:00 unknown SMP support (xchg(), cas() and mb()) for PowerPC 2006-02-12T03:33:52+00:00 unknown Bugfix in completion code for :set and :unset. 2006-02-10T18:13:19+00:00 Lemmih Completion for :set, :unset and :undef. 2006-02-10T17:17:28+00:00 Lemmih oops, forgot some more SMP->THREADED_RTS conversions 2006-02-10T15:32:36+00:00 Simon Marlow fix test for REG_BaseReg (it's spelled REG_Base) 2006-02-10T12:35:52+00:00 Simon Marlow Change CVS for _darcs in dirs to prune during make dist 2006-02-09T09:32:04+00:00 Duncan Coutts fix for dirty_MUT_VAR: don't try to recordMutableCap in gen 0 2006-02-10T12:00:21+00:00 Simon Marlow STM fix from Tim Harris 2006-02-10T11:21:11+00:00 Simon Marlow Fixes assertion failures with STM and -debug. Tim says: Sorry, it's a problem in how nested transactions are handled in non-SMP builds. It'll bite when trying to commit a nested transaction which has read from a TVar but not updated it. The call to validate_and_acquire_ownership in stmCommitNestedTransaction should be the same as that in stmCommitNestedTransaction, i.e.: result = validate_and_acquire_ownership(trec, (!use_read_phase), TRUE); improvement to the deadlock detection 2006-02-09T12:30:56+00:00 Simon Marlow When the RTS is idle, as detected by the timer signal, instead of prodding capabilities from the signal handler (which is not guaranteed to work - pthread_cond_signal() can't be called from signal handlers), create a new thread to do it. Simplify the -B handling. The interface to the ghc library has changed slightly. 2006-02-10T09:46:01+00:00 Lemmih Fix desugaring of unboxed tuples 2006-02-09T17:53:28+00:00 unknown This patch is a slightly-unsatisfactory fix to desugaring unboxed tuples; it fixes ds057 which has been failing for some time. Unsatisfactory because rather ad hoc -- but that applies to lots of the unboxed tuple stuff. x86_64: fix case of out-of-range operands to leaq 2006-02-09T16:22:47+00:00 Simon Marlow Merge the smp and threaded RTS ways 2006-02-09T15:44:49+00:00 Simon Marlow Now, the threaded RTS also includes SMP support. The -smp flag is a synonym for -threaded. The performance implications of this are small to negligible, and it results in a code cleanup and reduces the number of combinations we have to test. change dirty_MUT_VAR() to use recordMutableCap() 2006-02-09T15:04:20+00:00 Simon Marlow rather than recordMutableGen(), the former works better in SMP improvement to the deadlock detection 2006-02-09T12:30:56+00:00 Simon Marlow When the RTS is idle, as detected by the timer signal, instead of prodding capabilities from the signal handler (which is not guaranteed to work - pthread_cond_signal() can't be called from signal handlers), create a new thread to do it. Fix typo 2006-02-09T12:42:08+00:00 unknown Fix instance rules for functional dependencies 2006-02-09T11:35:31+00:00 unknown GHC 6.4 implements a rather relaxed version of the Coverage Condition which is actually too relaxed: the compiler can get into an infinite loop as a result. This commit fixes the problem (see Note [Coverage condition] in FunDeps.lhs) and documents the change. I also took the opportunity to add documentation about functional dependencies, taken from the Hugs manual with kind permission of Mark Jones fix for the unregisterised way 2006-02-09T10:50:58+00:00 Simon Marlow We always assign to BaseReg on return from resumeThread(), but in cases where BaseReg is not an lvalue (eg. unreg) we need to disable this assigment. See comments for more details. prof/smp combination probably doesn't work, disable it 2006-02-09T10:48:15+00:00 Simon Marlow tiny panic msg fix 2006-02-09T10:25:40+00:00 Simon Marlow Loosen the rules for instance declarations (Part 2) 2006-02-09T10:21:29+00:00 unknown Tidying up to Ross's patch, plus adding documenation for it. relaxed instance termination test 2006-02-06T11:16:51+00:00 Ross Paterson With -fglasgow-exts but not -fallow-undecidable-instances, GHC 6.4 requires that instances be of the following form: (1) each assertion in the context must constrain distinct variables mentioned in the head, and (2) at least one argument of the head must be a non-variable type. This patch replaces these rules with the requirement that each assertion in the context satisfy (1) no variable has more occurrences in the assertion than in the head, and (2) the assertion has fewer constructors and variables (taken together and counting repetitions) than the head. This allows all instances permitted by the old rule, plus such instances as instance C a instance Show (s a) => Show (Sized s a) instance (Eq a, Show b) => C2 a b instance C2 Int a => C3 Bool [a] instance C2 Int a => C3 [a] b instance C4 a a => C4 [a] [a] but still ensures that under any substitution assertions in the context will be smaller than the head, so context reduction must terminate. This is probably the best we can do if we consider each instance in isolation. Fix CPP failure by adding space before hASH_TBL_SIZE 2006-02-09T09:37:04+00:00 unknown an LDV profiling fix (might just fix ASSERTIONs, I'm not sure) 2006-02-08T17:07:44+00:00 Simon Marlow Do type refinement in TcIface 2006-02-08T15:44:12+00:00 unknown This commit fixes a bug in 6.4.1 and the HEAD. Consider this code, recorded **in an interface file** \(x::a) -> case y of MkT -> case x of { True -> ... } (where MkT forces a=Bool) In the "case x" we need to know x's type, because we use that to find which module to look for "True" in. x's type comes from the envt, so we must refine the envt. The alternative would be to record more info with an IfaceCase, but that would change the interface file format. (This stuff will go away when we have proper coercions.) Add mapOccEnv 2006-02-08T15:43:43+00:00 unknown A little more debug printing 2006-02-08T15:07:01+00:00 unknown Show types of case result when debug is on 2006-02-08T15:03:57+00:00 unknown fix installation of binary dist when the PS docs aren't present 2006-02-08T15:32:59+00:00 Simon Marlow Fixes #660

Release Blitz - That Day by Karen Deen

Title: That Day
Author: Karen Deen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 16, 2021

A day, like no other.
They happen once in a lifetime, they say.
So why am I ‘lucky’ enough to have more than one?

Here I am living life, minding my own business.
Until the man I’d been fantasizing over for a year.
Ends up in my bed.

The sensual words he whispers late at night.
His touch on my skin, ignites my inner vixen.
Making me want things I’ve only ever written in words.
And when our bodies unite,
the electricity is more powerful than lightning.

Kurt Dolan is fast becoming the calm of my storms.
The man who will be my forever
Well so I stupidly thought …

“Coco, shush, you are making a spectacle of yourself. No guy likes a girl who is loud and never shuts up.” She finally stops barking and looks up at me like she understands what I just said.
“Oh, now you want to listen?” I pat her head as she starts wagging her tail at me.
“One day we will work out this me-the-master, you-the-dog, relationship. In the meantime, can you just stop making me run? Otherwise, you’ll be on your own, because I’ll be the dead lady, face first in the sand after my heart attack.” She looks up at me and gives me one bark and then starts calmly walking towards home like I’m the one making a fuss.
“You think I’m the diva? Well, I’ve got news for you. If there was a prize for the sassiest dog in North Carolina, you would take the gold medal.” I laugh to myself because this is my day beginning like normal. Me talking to a dog and actually thinking I’m having a conversation with her.
Yep, I’m officially a nut case!
Looking out to sea again, I catch sight of the guy in the surf that Coco seems to have a thing for. He hasn’t moved. He’s just bobbing up and down on the waves and staring straight at me.
I don’t want to draw attention to myself, but I can’t look away. I know who he is. Well, I don’t know know who he is, but I know who he is on sight. It may or may not have something to do with me spying on him every morning and afternoon from my porch as he strips off beside his truck, getting in and out of his wetsuit.
I’m not purposefully looking… well, sort of. I mean, if some hot guy happens to park at the end of the parking lot closest to your house and is facing you every time he lifts his shirt, what’s the point in missing the show? Or the hot ass that bends over with his towel wrapped around his waist as he pulls his wetsuit up underneath it. I pray every day that it will accidently slip undone. I still don’t know… does he wear anything under that towel and wetsuit, or is it a commando thing?
Stumbling forward, I nearly fall flat on my face as Coco decides she is going to run again. Except this time, she’s attached to me.
Bitch of a dog, I’m sure she does it on purpose. Probably because she saw me eyeing her surfer boy. I swear this dog is human, or at least wants to be.
“Coco, if you don’t slow down you are not getting any breakfast!” My squeaky voice rings out as I try to keep up with her.
“Yeah, that’s right,” I say as she slows to a walk again. “I’m the boss, remember.” I’m trying to catch my breath again, and I let out a giggle. You would think walking every afternoon and morning—with this crazy dog that has me running half the time—would make me fit.
God, what must that guy on the board think of me? I’m probably his morning comedy relief. I’m the story he tells his work buddies when he gets to work.
‘Oh, you should have seen the crazy dog lady this morning, almost face planting in the sand when the dog took off on her.’
Hmm, what would his voice sound like?
I’m sure it would be deep and a little raspy, like the real rugged guy that he looks like. Trying to imagine him talking about me is a bad idea. My mind starts wandering to what he would sound like but not talking to his buddies. That voice I can hear, but then it changes to his dirty talk. Fuck, I have been on my own too long.
That’s what they call desperation, when you are imagining a guy you have never met talking dirty to you while he fucks you.
“I’m a lost cause,” I mumble to myself as I walk along the beach towards home. Coco just looks back at me with those sad eyes, then turns forward again and keeps walking.
“Great, now even my dog thinks I’m a sad case. My life is a mess.”

It appears to be a common misconception that once anyone, whether it be a member of the general public, or a celebrity in the eye of the media, has gone into treatment for a mental condition or a course of therapy, that they are suddenly “fixed”. The problem with taking this way of thinking on board is that it can make assumptions that are dangerous for the individual in recovery. Someone recovering from depression may be overcome with guilt if they feel like they cannot match up to the expectations of a family member who just assumes that they are better – this belief system can seriously heighten the chances of a relapse. Depression is a chronic disease and thus relapse should be expected. The ramifications of the public relying on the earlier premise can have a particularly negative effect on those in the media.

One figure in the public eye who has been open about their struggles with mental illness, and how that was emphasised by being in the spotlight, is Demi Lovato. Lovato is a singer, actress and now writer who has battled an eating disorder, depression and self-harm from the age of 10 years old. It was not until she hit rock bottom that she was able to get the treatment she deserved and needed. Since then, she has been open about her diagnosis of bipolar disorder and problems she had concerning self-medication with drugs and alcohol, in the hopes of erasing stigma and raising awareness of these issues. She herself has commented on the dangerous expectations put on those who have been through treatment. In her Stay Strong documentary she comments: “People think you’re like a car in a body shop. You go in, they fix you and you’re out. It doesn’t work like that. It takes constant fixing.”

The point Lovato makes here hits the nail on the head. While, of course, mental illness is a disease and should be treated as such, it naturally does differ from most physical ailments. Most can be fixed with a course of treatment and the patient is fine afterwards. Mental disorders such as depression simply do not work in the same way – they need constant maintenance, that the individual will have to keep on top of for the rest of their life, in order to minimise the possibility of relapse.

Another media figure who is open about their own experiences with mental illness is Ruby Wax. A prominent female comedian known for her one-woman shows, Wax often uses her battles with depression as part of her material to try and eliminate the stigma and make it a topic that is no longer taboo to discuss. In an interview with Time to Change, she gives a rather poignant quote that portrays how common mental disorders really are: “1 in 5 people have dandruff. 1 in 4 people have mental health problems. I’ve had both.”

What Ruby Wax is saying here is so important because in a nutshell, it points out how we talk about dandruff more readily than mental health, when mental health problems are actually more common. Not to trivialise the negative impact that a dry scalp can have on an individual, but surely at least a tad more consideration could be given to the severity of mental illnesses and more effort could be made into drawing attention to what can be done to help those who are suffering from these diseases? Just some food for thought for you.

Going back to Robin Williams, our society failed him. Many others like him too. By going along with these assumptions and expectations laid out by blind ignorance and not speaking up and letting it be known that it is okay to not be perfect all the time, we are enabling the disease and allowing it to win. So just take a moment, and if you know anyone who is suffering from a mental illness, whether it be anxiety, depression or addiction problems, please take a moment to check in and ask them to honestly tell you how they are doing. If they are having a rough time, reassure them that it is okay that they feel the way they do, and they are justified in feeling so. Let them know that you are there for them, and that you have not forgotten that they are coping with something that you might not necessarily understand, but that you will do your very best to try.

Let them know that if they feel like what they are dealing with is getting bad again that they should communicate with you about it and consider going back into treatment. Finally, soothe them and just listen to what they have to say because even if it does not feel like you can help in the way a professional can, you could potentially be preventing a relapse or even the heart-breaking and worst case scenario in which they feel like they have no other option but to take their own life.

Be gentle, be kind. Sometimes, for the moment, that can be enough to save a life.

Nikki Giovanni

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to hear one of my favorite poets, Nikki Giovanni speak recently ~ she was dazzling, vivacious, insightful, bawdy and very direct !

I knew she was a Gemini, but I couldn’t wait to get home and look up more details about her chart and the life she described so vividly.
Nikki is a life path 3.  This indicates a life of creation, expansion, exploration, reconciliation and communication.  Nikki is a Gemini Sun, Leo Moon with Cancer rising which makes Moon her chart ruler.

First thing I notice is the majority of her planets fall into the Eastern hemisphere – she is in a sowing incarnation and is in control of her life circumstances.

Second thing I notice is the lack of difficult (square, opposition) aspects between the planetary bodies.  (Scroll down to the key to see her squares to Chiron, ASC and MC)  Her one opposition is between the planet of poetry, Neptune, and Mars (power) elevated, in Aries the sign Mars rules.  Mars in 10th is a powerful placement, it indicates a strong, self-assured go-getter in life and career. (10th is the natural house of Capricorn where Mars is exalted.)

Nikki has some whopping powerful conjunctions as well. (…possibly why the universe cut her some slack on squares and oppositions..?..)  Sun conjunct Saturn makes Nikki serious and purposeful in speech (Gemini) and, in fact, all forms of communication.

Moon (chart ruler) conjunct Pluto, brings a powerhouse of intense emotional experiences, which in Leo, WILL (Leo motto) be channeled into creative endeavors.

Oddly, the universe pitches me another Venus conjunct Jupiter person this week, YaY !
Not only is the fabulous aspect in the sky above us (in the Grand Earth $$ Trine I talk about here) (and here), I have it (Leo), Smokey Robinson has it (Aries), and so does Nikki (Cancer) – odd that, everyone pops UP all at once …!

Cancer rising with Venus conjunct Jupiter (Jupiter is exalted in Cancer), shows tremendous sensitivity and compassion for others, great depth of generosity and kindness.

Nikki also has Mercury conjunct (out of sign) Uranus, its higher octave, which gives her keen perceptive abilities.

Leo is packed, so Nikki is firey and dramatic, she easily captivates her audiences, rousing emotions and stirring minds with her expressive words and ideas.  She is a Gemini and, yes- she talks with her hands (Gemini rules the hands) as well, so I included this small pic.

I left Lilith for last, because Nikki made such an impression on me when she spoke of courageous women in her life, those women she admired and proudly praised for being leaders in the civil rights movement.  She spoke of heroines that not only inspired her generation, but all generations following.  The women she spoke of included Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Coretta Scott King to name a few.

Nikki has Lilith conjunct Venus (females) and it is placed in a very powerful rolling conjunction ~ Lilith in her case is a firey reactive goddess that springs from the creative depths to shine a light on social injustice.

Saturn day

Emmylou – I just love to hear her sing…
She’s an Aries with Cancer rising which means her chart ruler is Moon.  It is strongly placed for a singer in the 2nd house the natural house of Taurus which rules the throat.

Interestingly, Saturn (time, grey hair) is in her 1st house of ‘how you look’ conjunct Ascendant in Leo (hair, mane), and she started turning prematurely grey in her early 20’s.

Neptune (compassion, the hidden) trine Uranus (committment to human rights) in the 11th (Uranus squares Mars landmines) both Uranus and Neptune are placed in air signs (communication) which shows her work through her music in removing landmines world-wide.

Moon in Virgo (pets) and yes, Emmylou is a PETA supporter.   Emmylou has Venus (love, art) Mercury  (communication) and Mars (action) all in Pisces (spiritual healers) showing her grassroots activism in improving the world for all of us.

Emmylou has expansive Jupiter in Scorpio as focal planet of a T-square with Moon in Virgo and Venus in Pisces – she is an exceptional singer / songwriter (Venus/Pisces)who has collaborated with many talented friends (Venus) through the years.  She has recorded and jammed just about everyone in Nashville.

This post is for my Capricorn Dad, on Father’s day, and my former husband, Eric.  My Dad and I had our Saturns conjunct, while Eric gives my Saturn his lucky Jupiter.

Xero’s new Navigation page

Xero’s new Navigation page

Have you heard? Xero are changing their navigation bar!

Why have Xero changed the navigation bar?

To make it faster and simpler for you to find the tools you need.

What does this change mean for you?

It means by the end of November when you go to use Xero, the items that you would normally use are no longer in the same place.

To read Xero’s update click here.

What has changed?

The biggest change with the navigation bar is that business and accounting tools have been separated, making it easier for you to find what you need.

Business vs accounting

The most obvious change is that business and accounting tools have been separated, making it easier for you to find what you need.

Everyday tasks are grouped logically under the Business menu. Here you’ll find all the tools that most small businesses use on a daily basis, such as:

  • Invoices and quotes
  • Bills and purchase orders
  • Expense claims
  • Inventory, now labelled Products and services

The Accounting menu holds the advisory and compliance tools that are more commonly used by advisers and partners of the organisation. These include:

  • Bank accounts
  • Reports
  • Advanced accounting tools and settings

Any reports, tools or settings that have been set as favourites show in the Accounting menu. By default the following tools and settings are set as favourites:

  • Chart of accounts
  • Find and recode
  • Manual journals
  • Fixed assets

Each user can set their own favourites by selecting any of the options in the Advanced accounting settings.

Now is the perfect time to get a Xero fresher training session booked in. Our qualified and experienced Xero trainers are ready to show you how the new navigation tool bar works so you can still work efficiently and effectively.

Setting goals and measuring performance

Setting goals and measuring performance

Goals are what drive the long-term performance of your business.

Agreeing on clear targets, and measuring your progress over time via key performance indicators (KPIs), helps you to understand exactly where the business is going.

But how does this kind of performance management work in practice?

Track your performance with KPIs

Tracking your goals via KPIs show you where the company is hitting the mark and (importantly) where you need to do better – putting real drive and motivation behind your overall strategy.

To make performance management drive your profits and productivity:

  • Set targets and work to a long-term strategy – define your key goals for sales, profit, growth and cashflow etc. And ensure these target are closely aligned to your wider strategic business plan – so you’re tracking the metrics that matter.
  • Track performance with real-time information – integrate a KPI reporting app with your accounting software, and monitor the key financial and non-financial metrics. Use this dashboard to regularly track your KPIs – giving you a current view of performance.
  • Motivate your team to be more productive – explain your key targets to the wider team, and keep them engaged in meeting these goals. Motivation and engagement levels are higher when staff can see what they’re working towards.

Talk to us about setting up a KPI dashboard

If your are looking to track, monitor and boost your business performance, we can help. We’ll help you choose the right KPI reporting app, and get you in control of your key metrics.

How to turn your passion into a business

How to turn your passion into a business

Ever dreamed of turning your passion into a business? It can be a rewarding way to make a living.

With the rapid growth of online shopping and affordable ecommerce platforms, some of the traditional barriers to launching a small business are gone. You can potentially make sales without buying a shop or giving up your day job. Here are some thoughts to help you monetise your hobby and turn your passion into a business!

1. Be prepared to lose some love – Once you turn your passion into a business, you’ll never feel the same way about your hobby again. The idealism of doing what you love for a living will collide with the reality of:

  • tracking sales and cash flow
  • hitting targets
  • managing inventory
  • watching competitors

2. Balancing creativity and commercialism – When you create something for personal fulfilment, you can make it to suit yourself. But when that creation becomes a service or product you wish to sell, you have to work within boundaries that suit your customer’s needs and requirements.

3. How do you monetise your hobby? – You’re enthusiastic about your hobby and the business idea that flows from it but ensure you fully test ideas within your market to find out what works and what doesn’t. Try to solve a problem or find a product that already exists and find how you can improve on it.

4. Building your brand with free content – Sharing relevant content is a great way of building up your customer base.

5. A pragmatic approach to social media – Find out where your audience spends their time (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and focus there. It sounds obvious but this simple piece of research can save hundreds of hours of lost effort.

6. Separate your personal and professional goals – When you turn your passion into a business, it’s easy to lose track of time. Both the passion and the business soak up a lot of energy – making it hard to get your work-life balance right.

Talk to us about turning your business ideas into reality

Turning your passion into a business is an exciting prospect and you could earn money doing what you love. Talk to one of our team and we can help you to come up with a plan and put steps in place to help turn your passion into a business reality!

GoFi8ure announced as New Zealand’s first Bookkeeping company to become a Xero Platinum Partner

GoFi8ure announced as New Zealand’s first Bookkeeping company to become a Xero Platinum Partner

What an amazing month September has turned out to be! Not only did we win the prestigious award for Xero’s NZ Bookkeeper of the Year, just earlier this week we became New Zealand’s first Bookkeeping practice to become a Platinum Xero Partner. How amazing is that!

We started our journey and partnership with Xero over 7 years ago and it was the best decision for our business. It opened up doors to provide more opportunities and solutions for our clients. Fast forward 7 years and we did it! We made it to our goal – which was reaching the PLATINUM Partner status.

Gone are the days of Accounting practices only talking to their clients once a year, and gone are the days of Accountants being reactive vs proactive. Business owners need an Accountant who will take the time to understand you and your business. GoFi8ure is changing the way Accountants work with their clients for the better. We call this change the LEAR approach. LEAR stands for Listen, Educate, Advise, and Resolve.

Listen – We actively listen to you. We listen to your concerns, frustrations and worries. We also listen to your ideas, your goals and your dreams.

Educate – Not everyone went into business because they were great at numbers or with money. We educate and provide information, tips and tools for our clients so they are enabled in their business.

Ask– We ask questions. They may not always be the questions you want to answer but we ask the questions that need to be asked. We want to know everything about our clients and their businesses and the best way we can do this is to ask.

Resolve – Our team of experienced Accountants and Bookkeepers work together to provide you with a solution specifically designed for your situation. You are not in this alone and you should not feel like you are. The right Accountant will work alongside you and support you each step of the way.

If you would like to improve your business performance and financial results but do not currently feel supported by your current Accountant to achieve this, please get in touch.

Why put off until tomorrow what you can achieve today!

Taking a closer look at the benefits of business software

Have you been running your business the ‘old-fashioned’ way, with an office suite for spreadsheets, word processing and presentations? If so, we would like to share how new types of business software can streamline things.

Xero has put together a great guide to business software. It covers the issues with traditional software and the benefits of new apps – so you can shape the software around your business, instead of the other way around.

Please have a read and if you would like to talk about the right software to help you manage (accounting, timekeeping, ecommerce, customer data, workflows), send us a message and book in your complimentary meeting.

About this workshop

Scoliosis is an increasingly common spinal condition that does not have a satisfactory solution in the conventional or alternative repertoire. The best of these solutions merely delay the need for surgery if the scoliosis is severe. The Gokhale Method, because it includes sustained traction in life exercises, is remarkably effective in addressing any non-genetic components of scoliosis. Gokhale teachers find it especially gratifying to work with scoliosis patients, and numerous students and their physicians have reported astonishing results. Join Esther Gokhale for this 1-hour free online workshop, where she will discuss this topic in detail. Your body and mind will thank you!

After experiencing crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery, Gokhale began her lifelong crusade to vanquish back pain. Her studies at the Aplomb® Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal and elsewhere led her to...Read more

Review: Ghoulboy

Store page / View this review on Steam

Review copy provided by developer

There are a lot of ways to do retro, far more than just throwing something together with blocky pixel graphics. Many try to go for the retro feel, the antiquated and sometimes stiff controls of something like Castlevania, or the blistering difficulty of Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Ghoulboy seeks to land somewhere in the middle of all this, sporting its own retro look, its own movement and attacks, and its own pacing while still staying comfortably close to the titles that inspired it. It’s a game that feels like it could have hailed from bygone console days, and could still become a classic if not for some brutally rough edges.

You don’t actually play as a ghoulish boy, mind you. In a grim land of monsters and mischief live a ghoul hunter and his son. The evil king imprisons the man out of fear of a prophecy that the hunter will one day topple his reign, but this only sets the boy out on a quest to rescue his father. This journey will take him through dozens of treacherous levels, spanning haunted forests, creepy ruins, monstrous towns, and more. The beasts your little ghoul hunter will face range from wispy ghosts and oozing slimes to towering trolls and flying eyes. If you can make the most of your nimble moves and special weapons, you might just overcome the challenges ahead and find your dear old dad once more.

It might look like Ghosts ‘n Goblins, but the gameplay in Ghoulboy is very much its own. Your little lad scoots along at a brisk pace, gets plenty of air off his double jump, and comes equipped with an important tool for exploring. You can find two kinds of sub-weapons, spears and spinning daggers, which certainly help in combat but have another use. Those spears can be stuck in walls to form platforms, allowing you to scale sheer cliffs and extend platforms just enough to reach. It opens the levels up quite a bit and you’ll be shocked at how much of some of them you can skip with some well-placed spears. They’ll help you find secrets as well, but be prepared to work your way up to a distant ledge or remote platform only to find that it was the way you were meant to go.

This game doesn’t really mess around with the challenge, and not just in how the levels flow. Your robust movement will be put to the test with spinning platforms, rides over acid pools, jumps across spiked platforms, and more. You get a fair bit of health but threats are inconsistent in how much of your life they claim, and pits are understandably instant death. The damage thing can make combat dicey, as you’ll never be quite sure if you have enough health to take a hit from a new monster or not. Monsters can also vary wildly in how much damage they can take, with some larger creatures taking only one or two hits but smaller, quicker ones taking upwards of eight.

We’re getting into my big problem with Ghoulboy, the big, ugly stain on its record that prevents me from giving a stronger recommendation for it. The design and balance of the game are all over the place, from the monsters to the traps to the levels and beyond. The first set of levels in the forest provided a fair, if steep, challenge. But the second set in the caves seemed to go off the rails with long gauntlets of painfully tricky jumps. I was getting ready to punch out but when I reached the witch village after the second boss, the levels were actually easier than before. I touched on the variety of expectations with the monsters but more than that, you’ll have to contend with terribly dodgy hit detection when you fight. Both you and your foes have hitboxes far larger than you appear to, leading to plenty of seemingly unfair hits and swinging at air to kill monsters.

The unpolished gameplay certainly threatens to sink this review, but honestly no part of it is severe enough to drain the fun from this title. I had a blast hopping across crumbling pillars and shanking witches to death. I really got into finding new routes and secrets with my spears. And I genuinely like the combat, even if it is janky and imprecise. There’s something unapologetically fun about Ghoulboy, a sort of reckless abandon you don’t get with a lot of indie platformers. You can tell this was made with a lot of love, especially from the assortment of custom retro filters you can run the graphics through. As rough as it is I can’t help but love Ghoulboy, and I wish more indies would push the fun in their games as much as this one does.

Gold Price Slightly Lower as Manufacturing PMI Shows Expansion

The latest reading of Manufacturing PMI showed a rise in activity for March compared to February. The 55.3 reading for March was better than the expected reading of 54.5 and February’s 54.2 level.

The Data

According to Trading economics, the March reading showed faster increases in new orders, production and employment. These increases offset a slowdown in other components including inventories, order backlogs, new export orders and supplier deliveries.

16 out of 18 manufacturing industries showed growth including printing and related support, tobacco, food & beverage, petroleum, coal, computer and electronics, appliances and components, electrical equipment, furniture, chemicals, plastics and rubber, non-metallic minerals, wood products, transportation equipment, fabricated metals, machinery, primary metals, and miscellaneous manufacturing. The only two areas that showed a contraction were leather and allied products and paper products.

Key Takeaways

This report, along with some encouraging data out of China have reignited some risk appetite while lessening fears over a global slowdown. The better-than-expected March Manufacturing PMI reading is especially important, as it showed a nice bounce back from February’s reading which represented a two-year low.

As appetite for risk increases today, stocks are on the move higher. The benchmark S&P 500 index is up over 23 points or .83 percent as investors continue to buy after a strong close last week. Now that the highly anticipated Mueller report is in the rear-view mirror, investors will focus their attention on market fundamentals, including the ongoing U.S./China trade negotiations and the recent inversion of the yield curve.

The Fed will also be an area of focus as it has done a complete U-turn in recent months. The central bank recently changed its tune again and there are currently no rate hikes on the table for 2019. Some have even suggested that the central bank could be forced to start cutting rates again if the slowdown continues. White House Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow recently suggested that the Fed should cut rates by a half-point “immediately.” The Fed will likely take a wait-and-see approach as more data inputs come in before making any key decisions.

Market Reaction

With stocks sharply higher in early action today, the gold market is drifting slightly lower. Spot gold was last down $3.33/oz at $1289.67. Recent price action has seen the market again fail at previous resistance and prices have returned to their previous trading range. Any declines into the $1280-$1290 area may be aggressively bought as bargain hunters step in to buy the dip.

The stronger dollar has been a major factor in gold’s lack of upside follow-through in recent weeks and the currency could potentially have more room to run higher. Further gains in the greenback may, however, prove to be limited as the Fed becomes increasingly dovish and as recession risks rise further. The gold market may simply bide its time in the recent trading range until the dollar breaks down or equity markets show clearer indications of a long-term top being reached.

May Industrial Production Recovering Slower Than Expected, Gold Softens

Industrial production in May rose 1.4% vs. 3% expected as the manufacturing industry struggles to get back on track amid ongoing lockdown procedures worldwide. The slight increase follows a record drop of -12.5%, revised lower from -11.2%. The drop in April was the worst since 1919.

Key Takeaways

  • Excluding cars and parts, industrial production came in at 0.0% vs. -9.8% decline the month before.
  • Manufacturing output came in at 3.8% vs. 4.6% expected.
  • The figures lie in sharp contrast to the 17.7% gains seen in retail sales for May, fueled by stimulus money and the reopening of stores around the US.

Industrial production rose with factories resuming operations throughout May amid loosening lockdown procedures. Capacity utilization came in at 64.8%, slightly below expectations of 66.8%. The overall 1.4% gain came in quite a bit below the expected gain of 3%.

The disappointing gain was due to a 120.8% increase in motor vehicle and parts production. Machinery fell a further 1.2%, computer and electronics dropped 0.3%, utilities fell 2.3%, and mining sunk 6.8%. Overall, the figures do not paint a positive picture for industrial recovery so far, despite laxer coronavirus containment procedures. Manufacturing output rose 3.8%, below expectations and 16.9% below the pre-pandemic level seen in February.

Industrial production had fallen in four out of five months before the latest reading, with the nationwide lockdown interrupting production along with disruption to global supply chains. The markets are now reacting to the reports that the US government may be rolling out a $1 trillion infrastructure package to breathe new life into the struggling economy.

Market Reaction

Gold prices saw mild downward pressure throughout today’s session following a record increase in retail sales revealed earlier today. Spot gold last traded at $1,725.62/oz, down 0.11% with a high of $1,732.66/oz and a low of $1,718.43/oz. The gold market has not seen a noticeable reaction to the industrial production data, trading in the middle of the range set out by the retail report released earlier in the day.

However, the retail sales figures may not indicate strong sales throughout the year. Sales are still down 8% annually, and the record bump is possibly due to pent-up demand with consumers fed up of the lockdown and eager to treat themselves as shops reopened.

Andrew Grantham, senior economist at CIBC, said “While those factors could support another strong gain in sales in June, thereafter the recovery will get slower and more uneven.”

Gold Price Preview: July 12 - July 16

Good morning, traders; Welcome to our market week preview, where we take a look at the economic data, market news and headlines likely to have the biggest impact the price of gold this week and beyond, as well as market prices for silver, the US Dollar, and other key correlated assets.

In a volatile start to the US trading week, gold prices are trading somewhat lower than the bids that opened spot trading on Sunday evening, but well above the morning’s lows.

After a soft slide lower during the Asian and European trading sessions, gold prices initially dropped sharply as US stock markets opened, finding support above $1790/oz. The fully-returned market may be working out price discovery for the yellow metal following its unexpectedly strong rally through last week’s low-liquidity trading. We’ll keep an eye on how the dust settles this morning, but for now it seems broadly positive that, roughly an hour after cash trading began for the week, gold has pared back the initial loses.

On the schedule this week, the first big test of gold’s new purchase above $1800/oz will be in the market reaction to Tuesday’s new inflation data. For now, let’s take a look at the rest of the calendar ahead.

US Economic Data to Watch

Tuesday, July 13 at 830am EDT // CPI Inflation (June)

[(core) consensus est.: +4.0% YoY // prev.: +3.8%]

[(headline) consensus est.: +4.9% YoY // prev.: +5.0%]

Analysts expecting the high inflation reads of the last two months to stick around for a third; This is based largely on the fact that prices big ticket travel spending items like airfare and hotel stays remain high (as a result of the reopening surge,) as do prices for used cars other effects of a global supply chain struggling to rise to post-vaccine surge in demand. Because these are most likely acute inflationary inputs, this still generally fits the Fed interpretation that the current spike in inflation is “transitory.” There will be more pressure on CPI numbers in the coming months to drop, however, as our denominator will change as we will be comparing current performance to the first months of “recovery” in 2020 to get our year-over-year numbers.

For this time around: gold prices reacted strongly to the first major spike in CPI in April, and then much more mildly to similar numbers in May. Expect this trend to continue, and for an as-expected Tuesday number to put some mild pressure on gold prices on the day.

Thursday, July 15 at 830am EDT // Initial Jobless Claims

[consensus est.: +350K // prev.: +373K]

From a “risk to gold” perspective, it seems we’ve settled into a phase where seeing the number of initial jobless claims slide lower week-to-week (a generally positive indicator of the pace of US economic recovery) will be a check-in, non-event for the precious metals markets. While unexpected (for now,) we’ll keep an eye out for large corrections higher (which would likely see gold bid higher) or a sudden acceleration of the downward trend (which, if persistent, would dim the price outlook for gold.)

Friday, July 16 at 830am EDT // Retail Sales (June)

[consensus est.: -0.4% MoM // prev.: -1.3%]

One more month of deflated-to-negative Retail Sales data, as the surge of spending (particularly lower down the income ladder) finishes unwinding from the direct stimulus payments of February and March. Over the next month or so, analysts and some investors may try to use Retail Sales data sets as tea leaves through which to project that consumer inflation is indeed “transitory,” or else more problematic; But unless that analysis picks up more followers in the general public it’s unlikely to push gold and/or Dollar markets dramatically one way or the other. Expect smooth sailing around this Friday data, but keep an eye out for any big upside surprises which would almost certainly encourage the reflation trade in equities and may lift gold prices as well.

FedSpeak this Week

After taking the last week off so Fed-watchers could spend their summer holiday week on the beach instead of parsing keynote addresses, FOMC officials are back on the public circuit this week. The centerpiece will be Chairman Powell’s semi-annual testimony before congress on Wednesday and Thursday. Observers may be especially attentive to Powell’s commentary as it will follow on the heels of Tuesday’s updated consumer inflation numbers and, while no dramatic shifts are expected, we’ll want to see if Powell & Co. feel compelled to make a statement on any new news.

(As a note: expect advance copies of Powell’s opening statements to be released ahead of his actual testimony on Wednesday; Usually one hour prior.)

Monday: New York Fed President John Williams (FOMC voter) (930am EDT)

Wednesday: Fed Chair Jerome Powell (FOMC voter) (12pm EDT)

Thursday: Powell (930am EDT); Chicago Fed President Charles Evans (FOMC voter) (11am)

Friday: Williams (9am EDT)

And that’s how the week lays out ahead of us, traders. As always, I wish you all the very best of luck in your markets in the coming days, and I’ll look forward to seeing you all back here on Friday for our market-week wrap up.

US fishermen’s catch up in value, volume declines slightly

The federal government says American fisheries grew by a little more than 2 percent in value last year, even with fishermen bringing slightly less fish to shore.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says in an annual report released Wednesday that U.S. commercial fishermen brought 9.6 billion pounds (4.3 billion kilograms) of seafood to land last year — down 1.5 percent from 2015.

The catch was valued at $5.3 billion, 2.1 percent more than in 2015. The largest U.S. commercial fishery remains the Alaska pollock, which came close to a record year in catch volume.

The report says the U.S. also imported more seafood in 2016 than the previous year. The average American ate almost 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) of fish and shellfish last year, slightly down from 2015.

Fossey Fund trackers save young gorilla from snare

Share on facebook
Share on twitter

It’s been a very stressful time for one of the mountain gorilla groups we monitor every day in Rwanda’s Volcanoes mountains. Isabukuru’s group faced the death of its leader late last month, and yesterday our trackers found one of the youngsters from this group caught in a snare.

Although no gorillas in the groups we protect had been caught in snares since November 2015, Fossey Fund staff have concerned about recent increases in the numbers of snares seen, many of which have been close to the gorilla groups. When our trackers arrived in Isabukuru’s group yesterday and noticed immediately that 3-year-old Fasha was not in the group, they began a search for him and found a deactivated snare nearby.

Soon they located Fasha by himself, with a long piece of rope around his ankle, attached to a bamboo branch. They were able to detach the branch, but the rope was wound tightly around his foot. This meant that a veterinary intervention would be necessary to have the rope removed, which requires sedation, and plans were made for this to happen today. Our trackers then waited in the forest for the rest of the day, until Fasha was able to move back to his group, since he was extremely stressed out and initially seemed to be going in the wrong direction.

Successful intervention

Today the intervention was conducted with Gorilla Doctors veterinarians, and included nine staff from the Fossey Fund, as well as Rwanda park authorities (RDB). Initially, Fasha was located close to silverback Kubaha, who has taken over the group since former leader Isabukuru died on March 26. Fasha was one of three youngsters who were receiving special protection from Isabukuru, since they all had mothers who had transferred out of the group. Luckily, Kubaha has so far taken over this protective role.

As our trackers arrived in the group, they found Fasha and others still in their night nests. When Fasha fell asleep after being sedated with a dart, our trackers were able to chase the other gorillas and keep them away during the intervention. The rope had become very tight on Fasha’s now-swollen left ankle, showing that he or other gorillas had tried to remove it, and he’d also lost a few teeth, probably while trying to bite the snare off. But the rope was successfully removed, the wound cleaned and antibiotics given, all within about 30 minutes. After resting for a short while, Fasha started moving with the group and all were feeding calmly.

Trackers play critical role

The Fossey Fund’s gorilla trackers and researchers play a critical role in this kind of situation, since it is our daily following of every gorilla in each group we protect that allows us to notice when something is wrong and to make experienced decisions in handling the situation. If our trackers had not noticed Fasha was missing, had not been able to locate him, and had not made sure he returned to his group, it is likely the outcome would have much more serious.

Thanks to support from all of our donors, we are able to provide this kind of daily, intensive protection for all of the gorillas we monitor. Help us continue this work by donating here.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb. 21— The annual accounts of Gor Mahia, One of Kenya's lead ing soccer clubs, show that the club spent Inore than $3,000 on witchcraft last year.

The money was Used to so licit advice and forecasts from witch doctors before matches Fees ranged from $12 to $60, according to the importance of the event.

Sports leaders in Kenya of ficially disapprove of witch craft in Soccer, but, in spite of many social and cultural changes, it shows little signs of losing its hold.

William Yeda, the Kenya Sports officer, has said that clubs should Stop using magic, but that an official ban would not prevent its be ing practiced in secret. Yeda, when he was a player, re fused to paint his body with pig fat, the remedy generally used against spells and charms.

Officials on the Ball

Last month, before a game between two leading teams, Gor Mahia and Abaluhya, of ficials of both sides invaded the stadium office and asked the organizations to allow them to check the ball to see if charms had been placed upon it.

Most leading Kenya, clubs employ a witch doctor and play few game without con sulting him on strategy and their chances of winning. Be fort important matches, sen tries patrol the stadium to set that no one places a charm upon, the ball.

Clubs usually refuse to nounce the names of their players in advance for fear that they might be be witched. Moreover, the play ers often avoid official dress ing rooms and gates for fear of evil charms left there by unsportsmanlike rivals or their supporters.

If a club has a run of bad advice—more than three un successful prognostications— the witch doctor is dismissed in favor of one more compe tent. Not surprisingly, witch doctors who are sufficiently confident in their skill to ac cept payment after the match are able to command a high er fee than those who de mand their reward before play begins.

Value… What does it mean?

Value… What does it mean?

What are the main reasons your clients do business with you?

One of the reasons that a customer buys any product is its perceived value. But value goes beyond the material product.  It also involves great customer service and extra perks.

Meridith Powell is the founder and owner of MotionFirst. She is a certified coach, speaker, and business development expert. Meridith writes about value in Ezine Articles: “The experts are telling us that in today’s economic environment, if you want to keep and build your customer base you need to add value.”

So what does that mean add value? Really, wouldn’t you say if people want your product or service and you deliver it isn’t that adding value?

Well not exactly, in today’s environment what the experts really mean is that you need to add more value than your competitors. You need to consistently do things that make your customers stand back and say wow. Do things that make them emotionally connect to your company, and do things that make them realize (without you telling them) that you are different from your competitors.

This is more art than science. To add “more value” than your competitors, you really need to be more gray than black and white. Looking for the little things, the little ways and the little connections you can make to really make your customers happy.”

The gray area that Ms Powell mentions involves more than the finished product.   It also encompasses great customer service. Fed Ex and UPS exemplify the extra mile. They offer online tracking of packages. The customer can access information about exact times that the order has shipped, the stops it makes along the route, and the final delivery.  This added information is comforting to their customers and adds value to their service.

How is your company offering value? What makes it unique from the competition?

These Days…

Hey y’all! It’s been a great month for our family, and here are the days that I want to remember from this week. 🙂

Rob and Presley had to be at church early this week, so we drove separately on Sunday.  These two were looking extra sweet…it was pajama day for Presley…so we grabbed a picture on their way out the door. 🙂

Later that day, Presley and I met up with some girls from our neighborhood and caroled for our neighbors! 🙂

It was a fun time together, and my first time to organize something like this.  We have big plans on how to make it even more fun next year.  And, it was a hit for our sweet neighbors as well. 🙂

Last year, we snagged these two girls for a fun Christmas date and well…once you do something twice it becomes a tradition right? haha.  Starbucks and festive Christmas manicures for the win.

Also, fun: our Luke is finally back on the soccer field! Luke’s team hasn’t played since September due to rainy conditions and now is on a winter break, so he’s been guest playing while his team is on break this December!

This may seem small, but it is huge for Luke…he is super shy outside of our house, and putting himself out there on a team where he doesn’t know anyone is super hard for him. I am so thankful to say that he was so brave and did just that this winter.  Love seeing him grow and pushing himself in this area.  I know it isn’t easy! 🙂

On the list of family fun, we drove out to Highland Park last weekend, had a delicious Mexican dinner and saw some really pretty lights!

The lights are absolutely gorgeous in Highland Park!

This was the first time for the kids to head down here, and they were big fans!

These are the days. 🙂 See you back here tomorrow, friends! XOXO N
