Well if you’re reading along and trying to guess what occurred. Two jars broke during this canning session. As a result, we lost two pints of bread and butter pickles. After we processed these jars the recommended ten minutes and pulled the lid off the canning pot we saw that two of these jars had broken. All of their contents were loose in the water and all of the other jars were sticky as a result.
We realize this can happen to anyone but we must have had a streak of luck as we hadn’t lost any jars previously. In fact, in the last seven years we have been canning, this was the first time we lost any jars. You might be wondering why we are making such a fuss about this but if you have grown and canned any of your own food you will understand. Even if you have made and canned your own food, you realize how hard you work to produce and put food up on your shelves. Therefore, it can really be a blow to your confidence when you are working so hard to provide for your family.
We decided to do some research to determine if there was anything we could have done differently to prevent this from happening. What we found is a jar can break during canning for several reasons. One reason is for the jar to have had crack. We thoroughly check our jars prior to canning and did not notice any of our jars to be compromised. Another reason is for the jar to have been put directly on the bottom of the pot instead of a canning rack. We always use the rack that came with our canning pot so we don’t think that is the case either.
Another reason is for the band to have been screwed on so tightly that air cannot escape during the canning process. This results in pressure building up inside the jars and causing them to break. We would like to think that we only ever tighten our bands “fingertip tight” and we don’t over-tighten them. Therefore, we also don’t think this was the case either. Other reasons that a jar can break is due to thermal shock, due to excessive internal pressure break or impact break, none of which we feel is the case for our jars. The last reason is just that the jar is old and is somehow compromised or the glass has weakened. We believe this could be plausible as just about all of our jars are used. We have purchased jars from second hand stores, garage sales, estate sales or were gifted them from family.
Why did our jars break?
While we would like to know exactly what caused our jars to break, we probably won’t ever know. We can speculate that this happened as a result of our own error. We can also speculate that this happened because of these jars being old and compromised somehow.
What we do know is we won’t let this discourage us and will instead be mindful of this as we can in the future. We will continue to thoroughly clean and check our jars prior to any canning session. We will also follow all food preservation methods in accordance with National Center for Home Food Preservation https://nchfp.uga.edu/.
We wanted to share this experience not to scare you but to let you know that it can happen to anyone. Even if we follow everything by the book, we might still lose a few jars here and there. What is important is that we are doing what we can to put food on our shelves for long term food storage. In this way, we will continue on in our journeys to becoming more self-reliant. Thank you for stopping by and visiting Sunup to Sundown! We’ll be back soon with another recipe or update regarding our garden or our journey to becoming more self-reliant. | 2019-04-24T08:17:43Z | https://sunuptosundown.net/2018/09/03/we-had-a-canning-failure/ |
A couple years back, Wal-Mart decided to sell toys…cheap. Toys R Us knew they couldn’t compete on price, so they decided to compete on experience – thereby increasing their margin.
Experience is a more sustainable advantage than price, selection, or service. It’s much closer tied to your brand reputation than any of the other attributes. Starbucks’ Brand Experience allows it to sell custom CDs in-store. Disney’s Brand Experience allows them to put their name on everything from clothing to cruise ships. By articulating your identity outside of your current product or service offering, opportunities to create a holistic, margin-widening, experience for your customers will present themselves. | 2019-04-24T00:11:08Z | https://garrickvanburen.com/our-business-is-culture/ |

As you know I am all about military support! I am the granddaughter of World War II Veterans, the daughter of an Air Force pilot and the wife of an Army Soldier. Anytime I can instill pride in my children for these generations before them I do.
So I really love the idea behind Michelle Obama's latest Joining Forces request.
The First Lady is asking military children from around the globe for some personal contributions to the finishing touches on the White House decorations this holiday season. The request is for military children to submit 5x8" handmade holiday cards with words of appreciation for their military parents, as well as pictures and drawings. The White House will display as many of the cards as possible.
Will you participate? I can't wait to sit around the kitchen table with the kids this weekend. We'll pull out the crayons, construction paper, stickers and more. We'll make hot chocolate, laugh, smile and maybe eat a cookie or two. We'll share how proud we are of dad, their grandfather, their great-grandfathers. We'll talk about the White House, how US military kids live all around the world. It may be early to be thinking about Christmas but time with the family is always in season! | 2019-04-26T12:06:23Z | http://militaryblog.militaryavenue.com/2011/10/joining-forces-christmas-cards-from.html |
It’s a reasonable question. Ivy League Financial Advisors recognizes that there is no magic number or formula that will guarantee a perfect retirement.
Under any circumstances, it’s difficult to create a retirement plan that will stretch for 20 or 30 years or more. But it’s become even harder after a decade of unreliable investment returns and pressure on many pension plans. All but the wealthiest seniors have had to think about restricting their spending.
We believe that financial planning for retirees must incorporate deep analysis of long-term spending plans, investment projections, Social Security income, and much more. Also, we believe that managing retirement finances is an ongoing process that must be reviewed and adjusted on a regular basis.
Develop a long-term spending plan.
Maximize the tax efficiency of withdrawals from retirement portfolios.
Estimate retirement income from all sources, including investments, pensions, and Social Security.
Develop an appropriate asset allocation.
Conduct tax analysis of all financial decisions.
Analyze the need for long-term care insurance.
Weigh the pros and cons of purchasing an annuity.
Assess priorities for estate planning.
And remember that at every step of the way, our advice will be objective and in your best interests. We are fee-only advisors, which means that we do not accept commissions or any form of compensation for the advice that we provide.
For example, we do not sell annuities, nor do we benefit financially in any way for recommending that a client purchase an annuity. If an annuity makes sense for you, we will refer you to a low-cost provider with a top reputation. If it doesn’t make sense, we will explain why.

Story of the Yule Log and Americas Christmas traditions origination….
America is a melting pot of diversity and beliefs…. The GOP wants to destroy that with Nationalism and bigotry and most of all fear….
This is the narration of the Yule log and the basis of Americas Christmas celebration… which was never about a human being…. but about the god of nature that provides us with air and water and food and most of all a place to live…. no human ever gave that to us…. but Nature did….
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays and most of all, may the new year bring the peace so many of us hope for and put and end to the bigotry and hate that christianity has brought to our once great nation…..

My Runsketeer buddy TPP has been focusing on cutting back on her sugar and carbs. Reducing your sugar intake is a good idea (provided there are no underlying issues related to hypoglycemia). Moderating simple carbs is always smart. Most of the time we don't need that sugar, but our cave-person genetics force us to crave it. The one exception is when you are 40 minutes into a 10K and you need energy right now.
I used to use GU gels frequently on my runs, even when I ran relatively short distances. Now I rarely use energy boosters, or anything like it. I've now reached the point in my half marathon training program where I'm approaching double digit base runs. That means I'm running for 80 minutes or more at a time, long enough to (supposedly) deplete my glycogen stores. So far I've avoided using supplements during this training. I took a GU gel along on Sunday, but never felt like I needed it. Then again, despite all the hills, I really didn't push myself that hard.
I'm not Brooklyn race ready yet, but I've definitely moved the needle in terms of endurance. Running seven easy miles, as I did over the weekend, would have been a struggle four weeks ago. But I felt great on Sunday. This morning I ran another set of 6 x 400 repeats, this time on the treadmill. I prefer to do this workout on the track or at least on pavement, but it was raining fairly hard outside this morning.
Considering the challenge I had running 220's a couple of weeks ago on the treadmill (at a slightly slower pace), I can see progress. Today's quarters were run at 7.2 MPH, book-ended with half mile warm up and and cool down runs. I was very pleased to see my HR reaching 85% of max by the final seconds of each interval. I plan to take the speed up to 7.3 MPH next time I do treadmill repeats.
Tomorrow is my mid-week base run, which by my formula (80% of Sunday's long run) should total 5.6 miles. I'll try to run at least two of those miles at Half Marathon target pace, per the advice of SIOR. This will be the first "bridge" workout where I partially combine a speed and distance run. I'll be interested to see if I've restored my fitness well enough by now to manage through it.
Um... I think you should run easy tomorrow and do the HM pace run Thursday or next Tuesday.
Otherwise, it looks like the schedule and consistency are paying off. It's nice when you notice the difference in effort. Nice going!
Are you guys doing the GLIRC group run this weekend?
Run easy tomorrow - you bet! I'll do Thursday's run as a tempo with a couple of miles at HM race pace. I'm glad you wrote that because I looked at the HM plan and saw that I was supposed to do 7 x 400's this week, not 6.
My response would have been, "I'll go eat a giant cupcake, plus they also have a run."
Have you learned NOTHING from TPP's rejection of carbs and sugar?
You're doing SO well, ER! Kudos on sticking to plan and making it work! I bet you're thrilled!
I did not know about the GLIRC run this weekend. Who's going? I don't know at this point if I can keep up because of my endurance level flagging.
Thanks TPP. Don't sell yourself short, you did big mileage on those hills on Sunday. I'm planning to run in a very similar way on Sunday and I don't care if I'm in the back of the Club Run pack when I get my 8. Let me know if you decide to do it.
Repeats are about the only thing I can get myself to do on a treadmill. I don't know how people do long runs on them. | 2019-04-25T18:24:16Z | http://www.emergingrunner.com/2014/04/treadmill-repeats-little-faster-and.html |
For those who have a garden and lawn, the best way to keep both healthy is to make sure you take care of all those Fall leaves by raking them up.
While some subscribe to the leaf blower method, it never did make much sense to me to blow leaves into the street (or elsewhere) instead of raking them up.
Also, using a blower isn’t environmentally friendly. So, if like me you prefer to try and do your yard clean-up in as green a fashion as possible, then I see a rake in your future.
#1 If you don’t already have one, buy a sturdy rake with wide tines that will bend a tad. This will make it easier for you to get more leaves per sweep.
#2 If you routinely have pain in either your shoulders or your back, consider purchasing an ergonomic rake. These rakes are clog-free and have bent handles — helping to take the pressure off your back and shoulders.
#3 To prevent backaches from using muscles that you don’t normally use, don’t stand in one place when you rake. Instead, move your feet and legs as you bend and twist to do the raking. This will help to prevent injuries and discomfort down the road.
#4 When sweeping with your rake, sweep in smaller motions rather than larger ones. You will get more leaves per sweep that way, not to mention more of a workout for you muscles.
#6 Wear long pants, gloves and layers when raking. This will help to protect you in the event there are snakes or insects in between the leaves. It will also keep you warm while it’s cooler and enable you to shed layers as it warms up outside.
#7 Wait until after peak foliage time to rake your Fall leaves. It may seem like it is better to rake them up right away when they first begin falling, but you will find yourself raking your yard more often if you do that.
These are just a few tips to get you started with your Fall leaf raking. By following even a few of them, the task will be much more enjoyable and safer for you and those who help you rake leaves.

Did Peter really just walk into Alicia’s apartment and announce they were still married on The Good Wife Season 7 Episode 18?
Despite having slept with hookers and having numerous affairs with coworkers throught the years. Peter still feels he has the right to stake his claim on Alicia when he comes face to face with Jason.
His behavior was far from a surprise; it was almost expected, and yet I’m still awestruck at what a hypocrite Peter can be.
The best part was how calmly Jason reacted to Peter’s posturing, as though he expected that behavior too. Peter stood there in Alicia’s bedroom demanding to know how long Alicia and Jason have been sleeping together and whether Grace knew about it while Jason calmly told him to direct his questions to Alicia.
After all of these years, Alicia finally walked into Peter’s office to announce she’s divorcing him and it’s about damn time. Their marriage may have helped Peter’s career but more often than not it’s been a detriment to Alicia’s.
So true. But Peter was right about this time being the real deal. Eli wasn’t about to let his daughter get dragged into Peter’s mess. He may not want to but I think he will testify against Peter if it comes down to it. I think Peter killed off a lot of Eli’s loyalty when he ousted Eli and hired Ruth to run his Presidential campaign and, in part, that decision is coming back to bite him now.
There were big changes at Lockart, Agos, & Lee as well. Alicia became a named partner, Howard got moved to the lowly 27th floor, David Lee cut some sort of a deal and Cary quit!
I’m not sure what to think about Cary quitting. Working at this firm hasn’t looked like much fun and Cary has clearly grown weary of all of the behind the scenes manipulations. He deserves a long vacation on that beach he keeps staring at.
But I don’t want Cary to disappear with only a handful of episodes left in the series! That would be a waste of a great character.
Even Caitlin returned after having her daughter and won her drone case, only to reveal she and her husband have separated. Can’t anyone be happy on this show?
Do you think Alicia will give Peter the stay he’s looking for or pull the plug on their marriage now? Is Cary really gone for good? Will Eli actually testify against Peter?

Barclays cracks top five FTSE broker rankings | City A.M.
BARCLAYS broke into the top five FTSE 100 stockbroker rankings last month, overtaking Deutsche Bank, fresh figures released today show.
The British bank added two new blue chips to its roster of clients – supermarket giant Tesco and engineering firm Amec – to place it joint fifth in a list of the top brokers, ranked by the total number of FTSE 100 clients.
JP Morgan Cazenove retained its crown as number one broker to the FTSE 100 despite losing two clients, dropping from 36 clients to 34. UBS remained in second place, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) was third, while Morgan Stanley came fourth in the poll.
Citi was in joint-fifth spot with Barclays, according to the list compiled by data provider Adviser Rankings, with 16 clients apiece.
Judged on the combined market cap of all its clients, UBS came out top of the FTSE 100 brokers, catering for firms with a combined size of £626bn. JP Morgan was ranked second, with firms worth a total of £553bn.
On the junior stock market, finnCap’s lead was dragged back by gains made by rivals Cenkos Securities, WH Ireland and N+1 Singer. Cenkos added four clients while finnCap lost one, narrowing the gap between the brokers.
WH Ireland added four clients and N+1 Singer gained five clients.
Despite generating little or no revenue for investment banks, broking services are offered in the hope of them leading on to larger transactions such as loan deals or M&A advisory work. However, Barclays’ move up the broking tables is not yet reflected in its advisory position, as it ranks at number 12 in the FTSE 100 financial advisers table with two clients, sharing the spot with Greenhill & Co.
Top of the tree was UBS with 22 FTSE 100 clients. BofAML was in second spot with 12 clients and JP Morgan third with 10 clients.
Ranked on market cap, UBS again came out on top but US investment bank Goldman Sachs ranked second, with eight FTSE 100 clients worth £245bn.
On the Alternative Investment Market, finnCap acted as financial adviser to the most clients, notching up 84 ahead of second placed Cenkos with 81 clients. | 2019-04-20T14:52:06Z | http://www.cityam.com/article/1385957409/barclays-cracks-top-five-ftse-broker-rankings |

I am a Realtor in the Florida Keys and have been right here for 20 years. Solely 5 houses priced beneath $500,000 sold in Outdated City. Up north in America an individual may purchase a very nice house for half one million bucks. In Old Town the home would seemingly need substantial to complete renovation. The average value paid on a per sq. foot was $473.65. Contemplate this – normal contractors usually quote a projected rework or renovation at $300 to $500 per sq. foot. In case you add $300 to the $758 per sq. foot value paid, you end up at over a $1,000 per square foot for a freshly renovated house.These high costs are having a miserable effect on our gross sales. I galls me that sellers demand a lot a fixer. I nonetheless sell them, but I do not like seeing patrons being taken advantage of.

Seemingly away from civilization for the past week, I have thought of many things to write about and upon but have not been able to take the time.
For those not in the know I have been working at Isanogel Camp outside of Muncie. I have accompanied a man by the name of Steve, who has downs syndrome.
The camp is a branch of Hillcroft Services, a mental health organization that I have had the luck to stumble upon.
The experience is more than can be put into words but helping people with what we consider as everyday functions; eat, bathe, etc. is very enlightening and leaves you with a melancholy feeling that cannot be described.

These services bring together the full functionality of FIL and include central interface management, versioning, authentication and scalability of interfaces, as well as lists of interface use, their testability and their interoperability.
FIL is not a product, but rather the technological basis for integrating different systems – it enables the implementation of the open banking concept.
Over the next few years, Finnova will offer a significant number of existing and new interfaces on the FIL – either as a FIL IS or FIL BA. The aim of FIL is to bring the functionalities of the individual services to the fore, which is why it was not created as a one-to-one conversion of the existing interfaces. The FIL Integration Services are standardised interfaces. They are defined by business analysts in close cooperation with Product Management. They are tailored to guarantee consistent functionalities and high reusability for the whole Finnova community. The FIL Business Service Adapter is a supplementary service from Finnova services for setting up project- and/or third-party specific connections in close coordination between the third-party product and the Finnova Banking Software.
Our customers have successfully implemented several projects in recent months via FIL, i.e. either FIL IS or FIL BSA. Other projects are in various stages of implementation. The promised ecosystem can thus become reality. We will continue to support our customers in the implementation of their digitalisation strategies.
Finnova is also integrating Taxsource's 'ALPHATAX' tax solution into the Finnova Banking Software to offer banks added value with a other future-oriented solution in the area of tax reporting. Finnova is thereby continuing the systematic opening up of its software and addressing banks' needs in this digitalisation era. Finnova's banks have a choice of partners also in the field of tax reportings. | 2019-04-19T10:59:47Z | https://www.finnova.com/en/open-platform-en.html |

On Garnet Milne’s Has the Bible been kept pure?
Shared for the sake of other readers, or those who might find the references of useful service.
Publication Title: Has the Bible been kept pure? The Westminster Confession of Faith and the providential preservation of Scripture.
Published independently and copyright 2017.
Finished reading in Winter of 2019 (Jan/Feb/Mar).
Overall conclusion: Important and Useful, Well documented. Faith’s outlook on the topic of Scripture Preservation and Purity.
In this book, Garnet Milne brings to us the documented information needful to assess both (1) the historic Protestant and Reformation view of the Holy Scriptures and their purity as we presently possess them; and also (2) how this view has degenerated among the professed heirs of the Protestant Reformation. Because the Reformed confessions, and especially the Westminster Confession of Faith received by Presbyterians, include creedal / confession statements about this matter, it is important that we understand the meaning intended, and hold one another accountable to prevent any deviation from the biblical doctrine of the Scripture’s Preservation. The men raised up by the Lord in times of Reformation, and for contributing to the work of the Westminster Assembly during the Second Reformation, did not fail to leave a testimony for us, with substantiated reasons, about this matter. Author by Author, Controversy by Controversy, Garnet Milne offers us the details.
But before he does that, he puts us in mind of present realities. The ideas of Wescott, Hort, and Warfield, and their present influence, need to be considered. As much as modern technology and communications have secured for us an ease of access to the best historic writings of the Reformed Churches, many still give undue credence to the thoughts of later generations which drifted from the Biblical doctrines of the Reformation. An assessment of B.B. Warfield’s views on the topic of Scripture and its Preservation puts things in perspective. It helps us understand why modern Presbyterian churches typically use English Bible versions based on defective original language texts, omitting words, verses, and entire sections of the Lord’s Word. It also verifies the seriousness of the new theology that stands behind these decisions. The theology of our Confession, as of the Reformation, affirms, that the Scriptures, in the original language texts “being immediately inspired by God, and by his singular care and Providence kept pure in all Ages, are therefore Authentical.” A question has been started, “How pure is pure?” and unless we will answer with a Scriptural faith, we cannot identify whether the authors and churches of later times are helping us believe the Scriptures are pure, or helping us believe that they are corrupt while we tell ourselves we believe the same thing as the Westminster Divines.
Differences of opinion and expression have always existed, and Garnet Milne does not hide such realities. Some of the early Reformation writers conceded ideas which the strong Westminster theology would not have conceded. Milne gives the honor of factual accounts to each party described, while it is evident his commitment remains to the theology of the Westminster Confession and those who drafted it. In general, however, we find that all of the orthodox Christians of the Reformation and Puritan eras were committed to affirming the non-corruption of the original Greek text of the New Testament, in an opposition to the Roman Church with its pro-Vulgate claim that the Greek had been corrupted. It is here, in this consensus, that the modern advocates of the RSV, NIV, NASB, ESV, etc. cannot honestly claim to identify with the Reformation, or the Protestant belief of Scripture and its Authority. Will they, nill they, the position of the Roman Church is what they have embraced, and with it they inherit the need for a “Priesthood” to govern God’s people in their reception of the Scriptures as a faulty and changing standard that must ultimately yield to the guidance of a higher standard residing in the Priesthood itself. In opposition to such a state of affairs, Milne shows that the whole body of the faithful has a role in discerning and preserving the authentic Scriptures through history, and this has been done much more successfully than some would have us believe.
Among other valuable points drawn from the extensive research contained in the book, I find it important to note two realities observed, generally rejected in our age of scepticism and willing (plainly preferred) uncertainties. These both come as corrections to erroneous conclusions many draw from man’s sinfulness and tendency to err, and they should be understood as a rejection of the idea that God cannot do any good or perfect thing when he uses man: 1. It is possible for a scripture manuscript to be copied without mistakes; and 2. It is feasible to have an errorless translation. Modern Christians have made a leap in logic from affirming man’s fallibility to denying God’s infallibility when he uses man as his instrument. The Reformers and Puritans did not. Although Garnet Milne does not work through all of the implications, we need to consider how this has serious consequences when it comes to our beliefs about (1) the preservation of the Scriptures, (2) the standard we should insist upon for Translations of the Scriptures, and (3) the use of Creeds and Confessions in the Church as enforceable standards of doctrine.

287 Summary of Ussher, Westminster Divines, Featley, Whitaker, etc.
289 Observations on man’s religious inclinations, search for meaning, & the Bible.
290 Protestant argument for Bible was based on self-authenticating nature & effect of regeneration.
290 (1) Bible is the first & primary source for religious knowledge.
290 (2) Authority of the Scripture is Self-Evident.
291 Auto-pistic Nature of Scripture: They teach that the assurance they give us themselves is better than an audible voice from heaven.
292 Only certain “proof” of Scriptures comes from inner testimony of Holy Spirit.
293 Promise in Isa. 59.21 leads to conclusion about preservation of accurate text.
294 Because of the Necessity of the Scriptures for our salvation, we can be sure of their preservation.
294-297 The preservation of all the words of Scripture is ensured by God’s character.
297 His Word is locatable in the Masoretic text of OT and Majority text of NT.
298 Hearts not spiritually awakened are the reason many do not recognize the divine authority of the word nor submit to it.
298 Lesser measure of the Holy Spirit and lack of Spiritual insight the reason why some Christians have (1) Rejected some books of Scripture as Scripture, and (2) adopted translations based upon the ever-changing and uncertain eclectic texts of modern textual critics.
298 Difference between modern viewpoint and 17th century Puritans is that the latter believed from the Bible that God would preserve the autographic text and were convinced by Holy Spirit God had not failed.
299 Westminster Divines inherited Reformation Views — Summary, How Canon is recognized.
299 Consensus disrupted by arguments favoring newly discovered mss., fathers, & translations.
299-300 Enlightenment Philosophy, Inductivism, Confidence in Human Reason led to new approaches.
300 Warfield approach was to see autographic text in all mss. allowing it might yet not be found.
301 Protestant Churches & Textual Critics now agree with Rome that original language texts are corrupted.
302 17th Century Reformed view believed entire autographic NT/OT is available.
302 Modern / Warfieldian view is that Reformation text is in error and NT text must be reconstructed.

If his latest appearances on Federation television are any indication, Shawn Stasiak will have a hefty impact on WCW.
Stasiak appeared on Federation television as one of the WCW Superstars that helped Diamond Dallas Page ambush the Undertaker. Later, he served as one of the WCW team members who joined forces with members of the resurgent ECW to take on the powerful World Wrestling Federation.
After helping make such huge waves in a short time span, it's obvious that Shawn Stasiak has big plans for his time in WCW and is a superstar to keep an eye on! | 2019-04-21T20:56:19Z | http://sarahdavis336.tripod.com/ewcwfbloodnguts/id65.html |
Hes right so can you all go off to hell on your own and leave us folk here who havent lost their marbles behind please? Off you F*ck!
Coming from the poster who spends half the year every year in Spain!!
As a Remain voter i value and support my freedom of movement and the benefits the EU has given me over the years. You want to end that.........but not for yourself. That's hypocrisy as has been pointed out to you by other fm's on here. Even our Belgian poster was astounded at your hypocrisy.
What he actually said was there was a special place in hell for politicians who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan. He did not say it was for those poor unfortunates who believed those politicians.
But for the record could you please tell me which politicians you believed and more importantly what their plan was?
He was a carpenters son from Gdansk, he grew up with tanks and gun battles on his street. He ran with anti communist gangs and was imprisoned by the Soviets. On his release he fought for autonomy for Poland where he went on to be prime minister.
Yes having just listened to what he said in it's entirety on Channel 4 news, it's quite different to what the Brexit bandwagon is pumping out!
Glad to see Farage has reacted as he's precisely one of those Tusks comments were aimed at, and rightly so too.
This was what Donald Tusk actually said and is quoted verbatim rather than the distortions being put out.
Funny that those who promoted Brexit didn't kick off when Johnson and Tory MEP Syed Kamall compared the EU to Hitler and Nazism, but throw their toys out the pram when Tusk states a harsh truth.....that they never had a plan to carry it through safely.
If you are worried about the cost, how do you feel about paying more to Northern Ireland than we paid to the EU?
Who do we export more to again?
So exactly what was "the plan" on the lead up to the referendum and please don't say 'to leave' because you know the question which follows that....which Brexiters have never been able to answer.
You are aware that we make those exports with trade deals negotiated as part of the EU and that so far only one continuity agreement is in signed - with the Faroe Islands. A further four are "agreed" with African countries but remain unsigned by them. The continuity agreements ONLY kick in after the end of the implementation period in 2021, no deal then forget any agreements.
Hence why brexiteer MP's, in between browsing the brochures for hell, are now suggesting we just waive tariffs.... and that opens a whole new can of worms.
PS good to see you're looking forward to a civil war in ireland.
"Sooo yesterday" it happens to be our largest trading partner we imported £341 billion worth (53%) of goods from in 2017 and exported £274 billion.
So what's the destination? May's 'plan' was shot down in flame as she suffered a historic defeat in the HoC. | 2019-04-26T07:52:55Z | https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/General-Chat/Chatterbox/A-special-place-in-Hell-/51275/ |
CAMBRIDGE, MA—According to a 2009-2010 report from the U.S. Department of Education based on data from surveys of 57,000 schools, U.S. teachers take off an average of 9.4 days each or 5% of regular school days, during a typical 180-day school year, and substitute teachers are called to fill in for absent teachers. This means that the average public school student has substitute teachers for more than six months of his or her school career. In a new analysis, June Kronholz discusses recent research on teacher absences and the impact that the reliance on substitutes has on school budgets and student learning. “No Substitute for a Teacher” will appear in the Spring 2013 issue of Education Next and is currently available online at www.educationnext.org.
Kronholz cites findings from the National Council on Teacher Quality’s database on collective-bargaining agreements in 113 large school districts, which show that district contracts give their teachers an average of 13.5 days of sick and personal leave per school year. Contracts in some cities are far more generous; for example, in Columbus, teachers are granted 20 paid days off; in Boston, 21 days; in Hartford, 25 days; and in Newark, 28 days. By contrast, private-sector employers offer an average 10 days of time off or 4% of work days during a 260-day work year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Researchers estimate large impacts of teacher absences on student learning.
• Duke researchers Charles Clotfelter, Helen Ladd, and Jacob Vigdor found that being taught by a sub for 10 days per year has a larger effect on a child’s math scores than if he’d changed schools, and about half the size of the difference between students from well-to-do and poor families.
• Columbia researchers Mariesa Herrmann and Jonah Rockoff concluded that the effect on learning of using a substitute for even a day is greater than the effect of replacing an average teacher with a terrible one—that is, a teacher in the 10th percentile for math instruction and the 20th percentile in English instruction.
• Teachers in traditional districts take off more time than those in charters. 37 percent of teachers are absent more than 10 days at district elementary and middle schools compared to 22 percent at charters.
The financial cost of substitute teachers—who are typically paid in the $60 – $100 per day range—is substantial. Raegen Miller, now vice president of research partnerships at Teach for America, has estimated the cost of substitute teachers at $4 billion annually, or about 1% of total K-12 spending. In Fairfax County, Virginia, for example, whose 13,000 teachers are offered 11 days off per year, the district budgeted $19 million for substitutes in 2012. Substitute costs are in addition to the financial burden of guaranteed leave time: teachers typically are given a lump sum payment for any unused leave when they retire.
Credential requirements for substitutes vary widely. If a college degree is required, Kronholz writes, it often has no relation to the subjects that a substitute will teach. Some districts only require substitutes to have a high school diploma or its GED equivalent, since maintaining classroom order is usually the district’s chief concern.
In private schools, the use of substitutes is typically much less, as colleagues fill in for absent teachers during their own non-teaching hours, which “keeps the class on pace when, say, one social-studies teacher can fill in for another.” Researchers have found that teachers are absent more often when their fellow teachers are, too. Excessive absenteeism suggests struggling schools, where teacher absences and student absences feed off one another until neither group shows up. Or it suggests weak management and unhappy workers. If an organization is effective, people show up.

You've known this English rule your entire life—and never heard of it before now.
Can you find the error in the following sentence?
Don’t dally-dilly thinking about it—you probably felt the offending phrase zag-zig through your gut with the intensity of a pong ping ball. Who in their right mind says, “dong, dang, ding”? Everyone knows it should be, “ding, dang, dong.” Why? Well… ‘cause. It’s just one of those secret English rules you didn’t know you always knew.
While there’s nothing grammatically wrong with calling your mom for a quick chat-chit or blasting your favorite jam on the hop-hip channel, you will be rightly mocked for uttering any of these flop-flipped phrases. And for that you can thank the rule of “ablaut reduplication”—a hidden formula all English speakers know implicitly despite having never heard of it before.
That explains why an English-speaker will never bat an eye at “flimflam” or “bish-bash-bosh,” no matter how nonsensical the individual words may seem.
As to why this I-A-O pattern has such a firm hold in our linguistic history, nobody can say. Forsyth calls it a topic of “endless debate” among linguists that may originate in the arcane movements of the human tongue or an ancient language of the Caucasus. Whatever the case, the world’s English speakers are on-board, and you will never catch Lucy accusing Charlie Brown of being washy-wishy. | 2019-04-25T16:05:25Z | https://www.rd.com/culture/ablaut-reduplication/ |

The Prime Minister has today announced in her speech at the Conservative Party conference that the cap on councils borrowing against their Housing Revenue Account to build more homes will be scrapped.
We welcome this news. One of the biggest asks from Nottingham tenants is to build more council housing. We’ve already built, or are building, nearly 700 affordable homes for Nottingham families on behalf of the Council.
We look forward to receiving the details around the Prime Minister’s statement so that, working with Nottingham City Council, we can build many more for Nottingham people in urgent housing need. | 2019-04-20T08:30:13Z | https://nottinghamcityhomes.org.uk/about-us/news-and-newsletters/latest-news/nottingham-city-homes-statement-on-the-prime-ministers-plan-to/ |
Shaindel Beers' Blog Tour started a couple of weeks ago--in support of A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, which is just out. She will be stopping by here tomorrow for an interview about her life and her books.
60 Writers/60 Places is a film by Luca Dipierro and Michael Kimball that is about writers and writing occupying untraditional spaces, everyday life, everywhere. Here is Giancarlo Di Trapano reading some of his writing in front of a church.
This is my segment from I WILL SMASH YOU. I was smashing an office, and I had no idea what I would look like on camera with a sledgehammer, but I love this. It feels like a relief all over again just watching it.
Here is another short video with Adam Robinson and Blake Butler in the foreground, Shane Jones and Molly Gaudry and me as voices.
Margaret Funkhouser grew up year-round on Cape Cod. For fun, Margaret and her friends would climb on the roofs of giant summer houses. Sometimes, a window would be left open and they would spend hours inside someone else’s vacant home. Sometimes, it was dark outside. Margaret’s older brothers had left for college by the time she was in 6th grade, so she wore a lot of oversized, baggy shirts that they left behind and she read a lot of their old National Lampoon and Heavy Metal magazines, which were both scandalous and habit-forming. Around age 12, Margaret started doing a lot of community theater with a lot of Alcoholics Anonymous members (when she thinks of My Fair Lady, she thinks of coffee and cigarettes). In high school, Margaret wrote poetry and she took one poetry workshop in college (eventually, receiving an MFA in poetry from Washington University in 2002). By the age of 23, Margaret felt quite old (much older than she does now at 35). At the time, she was living and teaching at an all-girls private boarding school in rural Connecticut. Right before she was supposed to start her second year, she quit and moved to San Francisco so that she could know what it felt like to be young again. It worked, at least for a while. Three years later, Margaret moved back to Cape Cod for a while, which was the last time she did community theater. It was a kind of sanctuary hiding out in her hometown for a year. At some point, Margaret met Jason Stumpf on the fire escape at a party. She got to know him while writing an essay on the poet James Merrill for the rare books library where Jason worked. She fell in love with him because she doesn’t have to curate herself inwardly or outwardly when she is around him. Now, Margaret once again lives on the campus of a boarding school. She writes poems, studies vintage cookbooks, and raises her 1-year-old son—Jonas Funkhouser Stumpf—and takes care of her 10-year-old cat, Dashiell Hammett. She often jokes that when she pictures her son in the 1st grade, she pictures herself sitting in a desk right next to him. One day, Margaret would like wake up in the morning and feel well-rested. And at 60, she would like to be able to do a cartwheel, a good one.
I interviewed William Walsh about his new book Questionstruck, which is made up entirely of questions, which is why I asked Bill to answer my interview questions with more questions, the result of which is this interview at Word Riot.
A nice, short article by A. Jarrell Hayes @ examiner.com.
60 WRITERS/60 PLACES is the title of a new film I'm making with Luca Dipierro. There is a concept. There are rules. There is a list of places to choose from. And, for now, there is the trailer, with the amazing Blake Butler reading on the subway.
Keyhole #6, guest-edited by William Walsh, is just out. And, instead of contributor bios, I wrote a postcard life story for each contributor, which amounted to 42 pages of postcard life stories.
Plus, there is fiction, non-fiction, and poetry from Matt Bell, Blake Butler, Kim Chinquee, Peter Conners, Brooklyn Copeland, Renee D'Aoust, Darcie Dennigan, John Domini, Cooper Esteban, Sherrie Flick, Margaret Funkhouser, Amelia Gray, Steve Katz, Gillian Kiley, Samuel Ligon, Tao Lin, Paul Long, Michael Martone, Noam Mor, Davis Schneiderman, Jason Stumpf, and Samuel White. | 2019-04-22T02:16:29Z | http://postcardlifestories.blogspot.com/2009/03/ |
The Ashby coat from Barbour may take its inspiration from the countryside but its cut and style makes it smart enough for city wear.The coat is detailed with a corduroy collar,2 hand pockets with press studs and fastens with a zip and press studs.
Barbour's Ashby coat is made using the brand's Sylkoil waxed cotton,a traditional wax which reflects the natural characteristics of cotton.Inside,Barbour's tartan is used on the lining and there's an inner patch pocket.
Please note: Due to the nature of the oils in the wax,it may transfer onto other materials.Therefore we recommend that it's kept away from paler materials,especially in warm conditions. | 2019-04-19T00:39:59Z | http://www.dsbridalny.com/barbour-wholesale-men-s-ashby-coat.html |
This seven-bedroom, six-bath townhouse was built in 1910, but any historic traces have been swept away by the renovation, resulting in a sprawling, modernist space with clean lines, a black-and-white color palette, and high-tech features. The home, which also includes a backyard and three terraces, sits a block from Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. It's listed by Sotheby's for an eye-popping $16.6 million, but note that the place was listed in May and the price came down two months ago, so the seller could be willing to go down further.
The house has four main floors, plus a cellar level and a partial-length fifth-floor bedroom, though the listing inexplicably describes the building as seven stories tall. Marketing aside, the place looks beautiful inside.
On the ground level, the sleek kitchen includes high-end appliances, plentiful storage, and an island with a marble countertop. The dining area is a dramatic space, thanks to a double-height ceiling and massive windows bringing in natural light, and it opens onto a backyard with planters and a rock-covered elevated section.
On the second floor, the master bedroom has a sumptuous feel, with its own fireplace (1 of 2!) and views of the block (it may look quiet and leafy, but there's a middle school across the street and a preschool next door, so one's mileage may vary noise-wise). A roomy bathroom with two vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub sets off the back room, currently used for sleeping, from the front, currently staged as an office and outfitted with bay windows.
The floor plan reflects that each of the remaining bedrooms comes with its own bath. They also have private terraces, including the small bedroom up top. Bordered on the backside by air conditioner units, this fifth floor seems to be an addition. In the basement, there's a wine cellar and laundry room with a washer and dryer. The house is equipped with an elevator and smart-home tech that can be controlled by cellphone. | 2019-04-18T13:53:43Z | https://www.brickunderground.com/buy/townhouse-uws-private-terraces-modern |
Situating at roughly halfway between Highway 11 and Highway 1, the “Olds – Sundre – Ya Ha Tinda” corridor offers another straightforward way to access the Rockies from Alberta’s side. To many people, even the peak-baggers, this is a “blind corner” in the Alberta Rockies. I’d never been to this area before so I was keen to check it out. There wasn’t much beta regarding the peak-bagging opportunities except for Rick Collier’s trip reports on bivouac. Wapiti Mountain is the biggest and highest in this area, and I’d like to use it as an introductory.
Collier’s group ascended this mountain via a long traverse from Tomahawk, and that route has several technical pitches. Their descent route, the west ridge, sounds “easy” since Rick didn’t give any detailed comment on that, so this would be the way to go. This is also a long trek, about 25km one-way just getting to the base, but with the majority on a well defined trail (road). Ben and I decided to use the technique we’d been practising in the past month, starting in the previous day’s evening with head-lamps on. Well, the first thing to do was getting to the “trail-head”. The road, though gravel for tens of kilometers, was in a much better shape than expected and we made there with no issue. We drove down the road to the farthest we could (without trespassing issue), and parked at Bighorn Campground.
It’s about 8pm (Friday) when we started our trek. Initially it’s a bit confusing as where’s the trail-head. We spent some time looking around but it turned out to be just the road itself… The first part of this lengthy approach was slogging 13km to the Banff Park’s boundary. There’s really nothing in between worth noting except for near the boundary, there’s a “Outpost of Warden Rock”. We didn’t check it out but it appears to be a private owning “lodge” that offers food and drink. (This is a very popular area for horse traffic, just not for hikers). To reduce this numbing hike and to speed things up, you should consider biking it. We pressed on passing the park’s boundary for another 1 hour or so before committing to a perfectly looking bivy spot that’s right beside Red Deer River. The night wasn’t very cold and after catching up several hours’ sleep, we woke up at 6:10 in the morning, ready for the long day ahead.
It’s 6.4km between Park’s boundary and Tyrrell Creek, and once hitting Tyrrell Creek, the trail disappeared. According to the government map, the trail continues on the other side but we didn’t want to wet our feet to check it out so we followed the wide Tyrrell Creek up. There’s intermittent horse tracks on this side so people must have been using it. It took us quite a while to eventually relocating the trail, and this should be the one leading towards Tomahawk Pass. Judging by the fresh horse tracks, this trail sees more visitors than we thought, but it’s a lot narrower than the main Red Deer River Trail. But still, it’s very easy to follow. We continued on for another few kilometers passing a major side drainage before ditching our heavy gears.
Now it’s finally the time to ascend the mountain! The bush, as expected, was very easy to negotiate and we gained elevation in no time. There’s wasn’t much of route-finding and we just picked a line aiming slightly towards climber’s left. The slope is very foreshortened and it took us a long time to hit the ridge above. This long U-shaped ridge would eventually lead us to the summit. Speaking easily, it’d be just a matter of following it up. The views were excellent at this point and we could see many rarely seen peaks in the eastern slopes.

Panorama of the upper mountain of Wapiti.
There were apparently several elevation losses (that aren’t clear from topo map) consuming up our time. One of them involved interesting scrambling on snow covered terrain that offered a warm-up for what’s coming next. The weather also started to deteriorate at this point, and in short time the blue sky was gone. The broad slope narrowed down to a sharp ridge higher up and we were soon facing several down-climbs. The first down-climb was the crux for our trip (difficult scrambling in dry condition). The second down-climb involved a short slabby traverse that’s thankfully dry, followed by balancing over an exposed snow covered ridge.
Our tracks. There’s some post-holing at sections.
One last panorama before the clouds rolled in.
Looking ahead. The 2nd down-climb would arrive soon.
Higher up the exposure on climber’s left side increased significantly. It’s a long way down! We had to be extra careful on this narrow ridge especially given the new coating of snow. Near the false summit there were a few spots requiring short detour to climber’s right side but nothing too tricky. By now we were high enough that visibility was pretty bad. We eventually ditched our backpacks at the saddle between false and true summits. Up the true summit, it’s a white-out. Thankfully the big summit cairn and the register confirming our success. We did manage to open the register but the booklet was frozen solid and stuck inside. I was very curious to see who had been up here since Collier’s ascent, but too bad we couldn’t check it out.
The NE side is a huge drop-off. Base jump?
We started to discuss the possible alternate descent lines that avoid the exposure on the west ridge, but that would add a ton of elevation regain, and it appeared we might still need to deal with slippery rock bands. Not liking to take a chance we went down the same way. Descending this required even more care, as a slip to skier’s right meant base-jumping 500 meters for the least! The few cruxes were easier on our way back since we would be up-climbing them. Lower down the weather improved a bit and we got some nice views. We could see the distant giants like St. Bride and Cataract. The NE face of Cataract Peak looks particularly impressive. Wapiti Mountain certainly took us longer than expected and by the time we made back to Tomahawk Pass trail, the sun was already getting down.
To make our lives easier on Sunday, we slogged all the way back to the Park’s boundary. There were a couple nice bivy spots on the east side of park’s gate but we couldn’t find any nearby water source (creeks were bone dry). Red Deer River was the nearest water source, so too bad, we had to bushwhack down there. After a well-deserved dinner we slogged back to the trail. I managed to catch up a couple hours’ sleep but Ben didn’t due to dehydration.
We crossed this big drainage.
Rick said you need to wait ’till mid winter to cross Red Deer River, but it looks very fordable to me in October.
Up at 6:20 on Sunday morning, what was left was the final 13km slog back to the parking lot! I was very glad that I packed my iPod for this section as it’s extremely boring. It’s cloudy so there wasn’t much of the views. We thought about ascending Maze Peak in the afternoon but the weather wasn’t looking inspiring and we were very tired so it’s the time to go home. According to Ben’s GPS, our total distance was about 56km, and round trip time was about 39 hours.
Grassland everywhere. I guess that’s why horses like here.
The long hike back. Wapiti Mountain in the background obscured in clouds.
Overall, it’s a very satisfying trip. Wapiti is certainly one of the biggest mountains we could do in mid-October, and given the unstable weather I’m just glad we could, and did, have it bagged. The summit view was certainly disappointing but apart from that I’m not complaining the weather. Temperature was mild and wind was near non-existent! This area is easy to access and the trail system is excellent, and I’m sure I’ll be back in this area to bag other peaks like Tomahawk, Tyrrell, White, and Barrier.
I am sure glad we biked the road. Car to to car we were 14 hours, then got to enjoy JD, salsa and chips in camp and sleep on a nice big foamy. | 2019-04-24T10:42:37Z | https://stevensong.com/canadian-rockies/banff/wapiti-mountain/ |

The little dog and I are crossing the meadow where we met a bear on our last visit. The season’s first dusting of snow brightens the surrounding peaks. Six geese, each whiter than the new snow, swing off from Lynn Canal and drift onto the grass. Most of their fellow snow geese passed through here last month on their trip south. These birds should already be with them in the Lower 48 States.
I think about the tiny rufus hummingbird that hovered near our living room window a few days ago, long after the last wild flower went to seed. Elders tell their grandkids that hummingbirds fly south tucked into the feathers of snow geese. I wonder if there is still time for our hummingbird to hitch a ride with these tardy geese.
We have just finished walking the beach that separates the meadow from Lynn Canal. At least I walked. Aki preferred to run out and back, like she did when she was a puppy. There is something about the sand that energizes her. Perhaps it’s the way her paws sink in or the thrill of sending grains fly with every step. At least one raven watched the little dog run.

Fear of the dentist, the dentist’s office or the potential for discomfort while there makes numerous people put off necessary dental appointments every year. In fact, experts estimate that up to eight percent of people avoid the dentist altogether because of dental anxiety. However, this can lead to worsening problems for your teeth and can actually create the need for more uncomfortable treatments in the future. By caring for your teeth now with good preventative strategies at home and regular dental appointments, you can actually make your appointments far less scary. Here are five other tips to follow if you have mild to severe anxiety about seeing your dentist.
You must begin by acknowledging to yourself that you do have anxiety about going to the dentist. You should then talk about this with your dentist. Discuss what he or she can do to help you overcome this problem. By communicating with your dentist, you allow him or her to meet you where you are.
If you have dental anxiety, you may not be able to get all the necessary treatments that you need in one sitting. It is better to spread your treatments out over weeks or months rather than forego them altogether. Ask your dentist to start with basic treatments that are not uncomfortable or new to you.
When you bring along someone with whom you are comfortable, you will feel that extra support during your treatment. Plus, your friend or relative can help to distract you during the treatment by talking to you.
Even if you do not have someone with you, you can still find ways to distract yourself. Ask the dentist if you can listen to music or see if your dentist offers a room with a television mounted on the ceiling. You can also practice relaxation techniques, such as slow breathing, meditation or visualization.
If these tips do not solve your problem, ask your dentist if he or she offers sedatives. Some dentists provide oral medications that you take before you head to the dentist. Others offer IV or local anesthetics that can help reduce your discomfort and feel less concerned about heading to the dentist.
Be sure to find a dentist who works with patients who have dental anxiety. He or she will explain exactly what is going to happen and will ask your permission to continue with the treatment. You should always feel completely comfortable with your dentist and feel that he or she is willing to work with where you are in your dental journey. The right dentist will not make you feel bad about your feelings and will let you keep some control even while in the dentist’s chair. If you have not experienced this at your previous dentist, we invite you to visit Dr. Malekuti and see the difference that a compassionate, understanding dentist can make to your dental hygiene practice. | 2019-04-25T08:31:37Z | https://www.springfieldvirginiadentist.com/2018/06/07/overcoming-fear-dental-appointments/ |

Anderson’s work-of-art on wheels has been released online.
German tuning firm Anderson has created one of the best-looking Aston Martin DBS' we have ever seen, and we don't mean just on the exterior. The DBS Casino Royale is based on the DBS Gray Platinum Edition and features plenty of added power and style for a truly incredible ride. Starting with the power upgrades, the Aston Martin DBS Casino Royale features a new lightweight exhaust system with catalytic converters, spare tubes, headers and an ECU revamp for a total output of 572hp.
This is a 55hp increase from the standard's 517hp. The aforementioned exhaust system is 46.2lbs lighter than the one it replaces. It has been finished in black, which goes along with the Casino Royale's blacked and gray exterior color scheme. It rides on a set of 21-inch Anderson wheels with bronze-painted brake calipers. Window tint and carbon pieces such as the front spoiler lip, side mirrors and rear diffuser finish off the special edition's exterior. Anderson has also added their aptly-named "language center," a remote-controlled valve system that allows for three different volume levels.
The interior is where the Aston Martin DBS Casino Royale makes its mark. It features a carbon fiber package that would make even Daniel Craig jealous. It consists of carbon fiber air vents, ash trays, door sills, steering wheel, handbrake lever, center console, door handles and cup holders. Black carbon fiber leather and Alcantara along with orange seams finish the interior off in an elegant and unique fashion. No pricing information has been released for the Aston Martin DBS Casino Royale, however as Le Chiffre said in the James Bond film of the same name, "I'll get the money. Tell them I'll, I'll get the money." | 2019-04-24T20:37:38Z | https://carbuzz.com/news/simply-stunning-aston-martin-dbs-casino-royale-by-anderson-germany |

The effect of bound magnetic polarons on the hopping conductivity is analyzed. Fluctuation jumps (without a phonon, caused by magnetization fluctuation which equalizes the energy levels of the free and occupied donors) are more likely to occur than phonon jumps (in which the phonon is absorbed at equilibrium magnetization). The activation energy depends nonmonotonically on the temperature and magnetic field and may even change sign. | 2019-04-20T19:04:17Z | http://www.jetpletters.ac.ru/ps/1401/article_21267.shtml |

Many analysts, researchers and professional organizations have published reports on EHS software. These reports include valuable information on market trends and buyer preferences. Each report has its unique perspective on EHS software, but there are “usual suspects” regarding the most popular features. Almost all reports show that buyers want capabilities for incident reporting, audit management, safety management, environmental compliance, etc.
Instead of writing a post on the most important EHS software features and capabilities, we will highlight five that are underestimated and that deserve their place in the sun. These features are important, but they’re not getting as much attention as they deserve.
Let’s start by clarifying “Management of Change” (MOC). There are two different types of MOC. First, OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard defines 14 elements that are part of a PSM plan. MOC is one of them (paragraph (l) of the standard). Second, MOC is used in a more general context, not just defined within the scope of PSM, and applies to any type of change, whether a change in people, processes, equipment or products. It’s the second type that we’re talking about.
Any type of change can potentially create a risk of an adverse event, such as a worker injury or an environmental incident. To reduce the risk of incidents, a change introduced in the workplace has to be properly managed through workflows that track approvals, validations and notifications. The appropriate approvers must review the change, assess whether there are risks of incidents, identify steps to mitigate potential risks, and make sure that all affected personnel are notified. Managing change requests and checklists manually is time-consuming, and introduces the risk of human error. The use of a Management of Change software solution is a better approach.
Changes can introduce potential risks of non-compliance, operational inefficiencies, workplace incidents, and equipment failures. An EHS software platform that includes MOC functionality can help to mitigate these risks.
Organizations that use contractors have responsibility for the safety of contracted workers as much as their own workers. Also, the safety performance of a contractor has a direct impact on the safety performance of the contracting organization. The result is that any incident or safety management system should ideally include functionality for contractor safety.
What are the practical uses of a module for contractor safety? First, contractors can report incidents, near misses and observations in the same EHS software platform used by the contracting firm. This also applies to a mobile safety app. Second, the EHS software platform would distinguish between data entered by contractors and data entered by the contracting organization. This allows safety performance to be measured in general, for the contracting organization only, and for each individual contractor. Third, contractors can be benchmarked for safety performance based on incidents or other metrics, which allows organizations to evaluate contractors for future projects.
There are other uses of a contractor safety application, such as getting contractors to acknowledge company safety policies, and storing documents submitted by contractors about their safety performance. The growing use of contractors is a reality for many companies today, and it’s a reality that must be reflected by the EHS software system.
For asset-intensive industries (e.g. petroleum refineries) that have to measure air emissions to comply with air quality regulations or improve environmental performance, there can be millions of air emissions data records to capture in total, at the facility level and all the way down to each equipment. Unfortunately, the more data that is collected, the greater the risk of inaccuracies and data quality issues. For many processes, such as air emissions calculations, data collection and data quality must go together. It’s not enough to collect large quantities of data. There must also be validations and checks to make sure that data is accurate before being processed for calculations, reporting, etc.
There are many ways to perform data quality checks on air emissions data or other types of data. For example, the distribution of data values can be checked to see if there are any outliers that may be anomalies as opposed to correct values. Also, data ranges can be verified to ensure that they correspond to what is expected based on historical values or best judgment.
With millions of data records, manually checking for data quality is not an option. The EHS software system must include data quality checks that automatically go through all data records to flag those that may require extra validation.
When most people think about different user interfaces (UI), they think about dashboards for executives and managers, and different screens based on access rights (read-only, edit, etc.). These types of UI are common in EHS software, and we will soon reach a point where they are taken for granted by EHS software buyers. But EHS software buyers must move beyond their traditional expectations regarding UI. They must learn to appreciate the value of a sophisticated, objective-driven UI because it increases productivity and promotes user adoption.
An objective-driven UI goes beyond dashboards and different screens based on access rights. It shows metrics, information and tasks directly pertinent to the objectives a user wants to achieve, and supports multiple domain-specific objectives (e.g. environmental compliance, occupational health and safety, process safety, product stewardship, etc.). It doesn’t prevent a user from accessing other information, but rather provides the option of seeing only what they need to know. For example, a compliance manager would see the progress on audits that need to be completed, while a safety manager would see the number of workplace incidents and be able to report new ones with just a few clicks.
The use of EHS mobile apps is growing, and there is a greater awareness of their benefits among EHS software buyers. Mobile apps allow workers to report incidents in the field, receive safety alerts in real-time, and conduct audits and inspections from anywhere. These features are not underestimated and their value is increasingly recognized. Rather, it is what happens in the aftermath that people must take into account.
An incident or near miss, or the findings of an audit or inspection, can bring to light new hazards or opportunities for improvement. Discovering new information is only the beginning. What is done with the information matters more, which is why corrective and preventive action plans are important. EHS mobile apps can contribute to improve action plans by allowing users to create and assign tasks on the go, receive details of tasks assigned to them, and complete and close tasks.
Many workers will not be in front of a computer for most of the day. But they will have their mobile devices and check them regularly. Having access to tasks directly from mobile devices can help to improve the management of action plans and ensure their successful completion.
There are more underestimated features and capabilities, but these five deserve attention. If you’re in an EHS software selection process, be sure to assess whether these features are important for you, and to include them in your evaluation criteria. | 2019-04-25T05:54:09Z | https://enablon.com/blog/2018/04/05/5-underestimated-ehs-software-features |

Spring is supposed to arrive on the 20th of the month named for the Greek god of war. As the days march on, snows melt, rivers rise and hillsides turn green, black bear find their way to the sun.
When a bear emerges from its den, it seeks available forage that will include grass, forbs (broadleaf plants), bulbs and grubs. At this time of year, the bear needs to jump-start its digestion in order to process more complex foods later in the season.
In April and early May, the primary food source to watch is the grass. There's no doubt about it, bears spend most of their time where it’s easiest to make a living. They search out old slides and lower elevation meadows where the new grass grows. As the thaw continues, bear move higher on the slopes, finding the groceries at the mid-elevation levels.
Good bear country is wet and that often means north faces, moss, springs and tangles. On the west side, though, the grass is going to grow best on the sunny south-facing slopes and in the three- to five-year-old clear cuts where sunlight can penetrate.
In dry climates, east of the Cascades, the north face is generally better.
When the temperature climbs in May, the warm weather brings bears into the open on sunlit slopes where they may graze for hours, eating grass and turning over rocks in search of grubs. The thawing snowpack reveals ground squirrel dens and the carcasses of winter-killed deer and elk, which are a bonus.
In the northeast corner of the state, especially in the watersheds of the Grande Ronde, Imnaha, Minam and the Snake, bears follow the elk herds to catch cows and newborn calves when they are most vulnerable. Mountain meadows and creek bottoms with a gentle grade are favored calving grounds and a good place to call a bear to dinner. Calf elk calls and fawn-in-distress cries can bring a bear on the run.
In late-May, adult bears move into the mating season. And, while they still must eat, they turn part of their focus to breeding impulses. Now is the time to focus close to the core areas where you found sign in the early season and watch mid-elevation meadows or clearcuts for hours at a time.
Patience and scouting can pay off with multiple bear sightings and stalk opportunities when you meet them in the middle. | 2019-04-21T20:42:48Z | http://www.garylewisoutdoors.com/hunting-and-fishing-articles/oregon-hunting/bear/hunt-spring-bear |
Are you tired of making decisions alone? Do you feel you have no one to talk to at your level about your professional and personal concerns?
The Vistage model brings together groups of business leaders in a safe, non-competing atmosphere where they can brainstorm opportunities and share their challenges to get brilliant solutions.
The groups meet monthly, and each CEO group member receives one-on-one coaching from Nina. Expert speaker seminars are a valuable part of the professional development offered in Vistage peer groups.
Nina develops a coaching relationship by meeting with each member privately to learn about his or her unique issues and to update strategic plans. She analyzes the business vision, systems, marketing, and policies—and makes recommendations. She holds each Vistage member accountable to his or her goals and objectives.
Member companies grow at nearly three times the rate of competing American companies. The key to members’ growth is simply being part of an unbiased peer advisory group whose sole interest is the success of each member. In a room of 12-16 Vistage members, you will find 300-500 years of business expertise and wisdom!
The Vistage members in Nina’s groups are not “lonely at the top.” They get feedback, support, advice, and sage opinions from their peers about their ideas and current issues. Members get a blanket of support with Nina’s monthly coaching and unlimited email check-ins.
In my business I see the limitations. In my Vistage meetings I see the possibilities.
Hawai’i members are connected online with 17,000 other Vistage members worldwide, and have access to an online library of 56 years of best business practices and resources.
The mission-driven executives in Nina’s groups take time out each month to work ON their businesses. In addition to the goal of growing their companies and developing themselves as leaders, the members have a lot of fun together, share poignant stories, and develop lifelong friendships.
Vistage has designed a year-long professional development program especially for the leadership team of individual companies. The aim of the program is to align the executive team while developing individuals.

This winter changed my perspective on snow. It drew the line and emphasized that less is more.
Bench slats with a dusting.
Pond life is still green under ice.
A snow day from the inside out.
Parking meters shorted out and neglected by all.
Note: I enjoy these photos far more now that spring has arrived in full force. These photographs are presented as part of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for this week: Perspective (Unusual Angle or Point of View). If you follow the link, you’ll find my blog post, Pairs, was featured in her post as a Featured Blogger. I am honored and delighted, Cee!
It was one thorough winter, wasn’t it?
Winter photos are so amazing.
It was a particularly amazing winter. I find the photos always look flatter than they should, but these really show how crazy the world got.
Less is more, about snow, I agree! Thanks for sharing.
I always write very little about nature in the winter. It’s hard to stay positive in all that glaring white.
That was one big climb for the little girl. Great photos for perspective.
Thanks! I loved yours, too. Especially the boat somehow. It was almost transformed into an arrow or an abstract by the angle.
“Less is more” – yes indeed!!!
Thanks! I’m hoping for a mild winter next year after the last two killers!
It seems like it was so long ago when we had a mound like the one the child is playing on, in our back yard. I love the confused driver. Sometimes, I look at tire tracks and just shake my head.
That car really had to reason at all to go veering off like that. No evidence that they tried to brake. Just joyriding across the grass on a snowy day. Weird.
Wow. Thanks!! I thought they were all more powerful together than they were apart. I was grateful to Cee for making me see them a new way.
I must get back to doing Cee’s challenges – they are very good for making you aware of what works photographically.
I like Cee, she has a good spirit.
Thanks! I like it, too, but I can’t quite put my finger on why. I was afraid we wouldn’t be able to open the door that day.
Love the first photo. That really is a different perspective. | 2019-04-25T23:40:53Z | https://friendlyfairytales.com/2015/05/27/perspective-shift-cees-fun-foto-challenge/ |

47 Ave., Greenpoint Ave. bet. 42 St. and 43 St.
Bounded by Greenpoint and 42nd Avenues and 47th and 43rd Streets, this site was acquired December 18, 1936 as part of Thomson Hill Park, and named for war hero Thomas P. Noonan on May 14, 1996.
Noonan (1943-1969) was born in Brooklyn and graduated from Hunter College with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in 1966. On December 26, 1967 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, and in July 1968, he was sent to the Republic of Vietnam, where he served as a mortarman and later as a rifleman in the Third Marine Division. He was promoted to Lance Corporal on New Year’s Day in 1969. | 2019-04-19T19:07:19Z | https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/l-cpl-thomas-p-noonan-jr-playground/ |
Taryn was living the “normal” life. She had married her soul mate, was about to graduate college, and had her future with him to look forward to. That was until May 21, 2007.
CPL Michael Davis, her husband, had been killed by multiple roadside bombs just an hour and a half after they last spoke. Lost, alone and ready to give up in the new world she’d been thrown into, she began traveling around the country to hear other women’s stories of love, tragedy… and most importantly, their path to survival. In hearing their accounts, she hoped to learn and embrace the title that had been given to her… that of a military widow.
What began as her own personal journey, has expanded into a national non-profit organization, a documentary film and a network of healing that has reached thousands. Inspired off the willpower and strength of the women “in her shoes”, she has found that true love is eternal, that the lessons her husband shared still run through her veins, the heart can heal and that she is not alone. For her work with the AWP she has recieved such awards as: A Top 10 CNN Hero, L’oreal’s National Women of Worth, Newsweek’s 150 Women Shaking the World, DVF People’s Voice Recipient, Glamour Magaazine’s 30 Under 30, VH1’s Do Something AWard and more. She also has been blessed to have shared her journey such stages: GE, Forbes, TED, Chicago Ideas Week and more.
Lindsey has been working with the AWP since 2009. She lost her brother-in-law in Iraq in 2007 and personally sends out every Welcome Package and works with AWP donors first-hand. She has a love and admiration for all of the military and takes time to read about there heroes of the widows we serve. When she’s not working she is loving every minute with her daughter, Elena, husband, Cameron and Togo the Huskie.
Erin is a live life to the fullest and regret nothing type of person. Even before losing her husband Sgt. Blake Stephens in May 2007 in Iraq they both had enjoyed life as much as they could of. Both of them had passions for extreme things, fitness and traveling the world. After becoming a widow Erin’s whole world changed and went upside down. She had no idea how anyone could survive losing their ultimate love. One of the main thing that got her through it was knowing she didn’t want him looking down on her and being disappointed. Eight months after Blake died Erin went on a 5 month world tour and discovered herself again. The biggest high in life for Erin is getting a new passport stamp yearly. It took her 3 years to discover the AWP thanks to her step-mom searching for ways to find Erin comfort and it took Erin another 6 months to come up with the nerves to actually do something about it. That was the best decision she could of made for herself going on that AWP getaway! The life long friends Erin’s met and the addition to her “family” has grown considerably from these widows helping to fill the void in her heart. Erin is more than ecstatic to become apart of the AWP and knowing she’ll be meeting more amazing women that will continue to make her grateful for the life that she has. | 2019-04-22T01:00:26Z | http://americanwidowproject.org/meet-us/our-crew/ |
Aioli is a Provencal mayonnaise sauce based on garlic and olive oil.
Aioli is a Provencal mayonnaise sauce based on garlic and olive oil. The sauce has a spicy garlic flavour and a wonderful yellow colour thanks to olive oil. It is an excellent addition to roasted fish, scallops or poultry. Just smear the top of the meat and bake – garlic sharpness slightly mildens and the sauce becomes creamy inside and creates a shell on top. The original version of the aioli does not include the addition of yolks or mustard. It is characteristic for the French cuisine and cuisines of the Mediterranean coasts of Spain (Valencia, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Murcia and eastern Andalusia) and Italy (Sicily and Calabria).
Classic aioli is made by grinding cloves of garlic with a little salt by a wooden pestle in a stone mortar. Ground garlic cloves are mixed gradually, but vigorously with olive oil, until a smooth, stiff, creamy emulsion is created. The stiffness of sauce is checked by turning the mortar with the finished sauce upside down. Classic aioli is glassy, strong, unyielding, sharp from garlic and bitter olive oil. Nowadays sauce is made with garlic, olive oil, egg yolk, lemon juice also made by grinding in a mortar or by a blender. | 2019-04-25T20:01:26Z | https://chefin.com.au/dictionary/aioli/ |
Inspire by Reflection — Inspire by Color, Inc.
Where does inspiration really come from? One might suggest that inspiration is merely a sensory reaction; a natural response to stimulus. It's true that we experience the world through our five senses of taste, touch, hearing, smell and sight, however these five senses alone don't seem to afford much more than a conduit through which experiences are realized. If we're going to study inspiration, we will need to invoke a 6th or deeper sense of perceiving.
We've all heard the term "perception is reality", which explains how two persons can look at something and perceive two completely different things. Interestingly, the latest findings in quantum theory suggest an even stranger truth to that age-old colloquialism: basically that all matter (the stuff everything is made of) isn't actually matter (doesn't exist as matter) until it is observed. See, I told you it was strange... Ok, no - we're not diving into quantum theory in this blog, but we will need to approach something a bit less tangible and perhaps more subjective, if we're going to better understand the source of inspiration.
When you look at the black and white image adjacent, what do you see? Someone will say "it's an eye". Another might go beyond the obvious and poetically call it "a window into the soul". Most will agree that the eye seems extra glassy, which suggests an emotion such as sorrow, joy or longing. It's a remarkable image that has the power to evoke many different responses, but one objective truth remains: it isn't really an eye at all. It's only a drawing of an eye. It's just lead that has been manipulated on paper to mimic an eye.
Most can agree on what the artist has drawn simply by observation, but the depth in which we feel what the artist has drawn will be a unique perspective; an emotional response that could be described as its inspiration. Our emotions allow us to experience inspiration. Therefore, artists are in essence, manipulators of emotional response. If an artist creates an emotionally moving piece, it is often referred to as an "inspired" work of art.
Inspiration being primarily an emotional response, it's necessary to look deeper into our feelings if we're going to contextualize and perhaps materialize new inspiration in our lives and in the lives of those around us. Have you ever heard of someone being inspired by hate? Hmmm, that doesn't sound quite right. Fueled by hate, perhaps - but not inspired by it... How about being inspired by fear? Nope, that doesn't seem to work either. What about someone who is inspired by joy? That sounds better... What about hope? Yep, now we're getting somewhere! Indeed, inspiration seems to flow flow best from the positive emotional realms; from places of joyful expectance and optimism.
to influence, move or guide by divine or supernatural influence.
Most will agree that seeking out new inspiration is often like chasing rainbows or orgasms. If you try to take captive that ultimate goal, you very often lose it. Inspiration seems to be that illusive glory that presents itself and then disappears as soon as we try to lay hold of it. Love works like that too. It works best when it is other-centered. If we seek out love selfishly, we seldom truly find it. Remarkably, it seems that inspiration flows most freely in the same environments as love; those places where the observer is wholly other-focused. My experience with inspiration is that it shows up in the most unexpected places - and mostly when I'm simply focusing on being present in the moment with no expectations for myself.
For example, while on a walk, enjoying God's creation I see inspiration everywhere! When I'm working on a project for a client or spending time with a loved one, if my focus is on them and not myself, inspiration reveals itself everywhere. If I had hoped for that special moment and searched for it all day, while putting myself in the center of my narrative, nothing inspiring happens. Plain and simple. Isn't it often that the most humble creatives are the most inspiring artists? They're great because they don't pretend to "own" the beauty that they create.
The creative genius recognizes the precious gift of an inspired work and thusly becomes a fellow spectator of even their own creation. An understanding that matchless beauty will not be claimed nor bound by ego is perhaps the beginning of creative genius, for truest inspiration is not to be held, but rather beheld.

Ever wondered why most are most interior designers are either females or gay males?
Think about it for a minute: Obviously it's not about sexual orientation, but rather emotional orientation.
Interior design is an art of creating inviting and functional environments. In order for environments to be inviting, they must be created with a sensitivity to emotional nuances evoked by color, texture, lighting, etc... For females, emotional nuances are much easier to discern. This innate ability is also proven to be true in homosexual males. The sensitivity to emotional nuance has been coined, "Emotional Intelligence" and it turns out, there are many ways to "tune-in" your emotion intelligence. Interestingly, the naturally creative person already exhibits a high emotional intelligence, which is likely the truer source of their artistic talent. If you'd like to learn more about your emotional intelligence, linked below is a good blog on the topic.
The wife and I said goodbye to 2014 in beautiful Asheville NC.
We don't have much extra money to spend on each other so birthday, anniversary and christmas gifts are often just cards, chocolates and kisses. This trip however was a worthy exception, in which we were able to celebrate our loves in so many ways. Inspiration was everywhere! I have every reason to believe that love was the reason we enjoyed so many wonderful and inspiring nuances on our little date excursion.
Perhaps I'm risking a loss of inspiration in this blog, by pointing to its source so blatantly, but I never lose hope. God knows my heart. So far I haven't found a reason to believe that anything other than love (God) is at the center of all inspiration; ever giving, ever emptying himself into anyone who will be so courageous, to do the same.

O.A.R.'s Wind-up Records debut album, King, marks a new beginning for the band, while also paying homage to their past. It is the seventh studio effort in a career that began with their high school recording, The Wanderer. Bringing back the title character from their first album, O.A.R. takes the listener on a journey to discover that what the Wanderer, and the band members themselves, had been searching for all along, was there from the beginning. As the closing song on the new disc states, a return "Back to One."
King is O.A.R.'s follow-up to their 2008 studio album All Sides, which debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200 and #3 on the Digital Album chart. The album provided many firsts for the band including their first Certified Platinum single "Shattered," which in 2009 was the #6 best-selling Rock Song at iTunes and earned them an ASCAP Award as one of the Most Performed Pop Songs of the Year. With All Sides, the band's cumulative album sales reached close to 2 million and they received the honor of being on Performing Songwriter's list of the 100 Most Influential Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years. The release was the culmination of years of hard work creating music, traveling the country and performing for their legions of fans.
To begin work on King, the band embarked on a journey to each band member's hometown. The first stop was at The Metro in Chicago, home to drummer Chris Culos. "The music was coming together very naturally, helped by the vibe of being in a real venue versus a stale rehearsal room. It was a perfect way for the recording process to originate from a 'live' place," says Chris. From there the band moved on to Columbus, OH's (Jerry DePizzo) brand-new 1305 complex; Washington, DC's (Richard On) legendary punk studio Inner Ear; and New York's (Benj Gershman and Marc Roberge) historic Avatar Studios. Like The Wanderer completing his odyssey back to where he started, the band members returned home for inspiration and to prepare for their next adventure.
"When I first started writing songs I was young and hadn't experienced many things, so I chose to write from the perspective of someone else, the Wanderer," notes Marc Roberge. "Now, after having traveled throughout the country, gotten married and having a child of my own, I felt like it was time to bring the Wanderer back and complete his journey."
As the concept for the album was taking shape and the songs were nearing completion, lead singer Marc Roberge was blindsided with news that his wife had cancer and a tumor needed to be removed immediately. After putting everything on hold, the band eventually resumed recording, but this time with a new appreciation of what they had and a resolve to inspire others to be true to themselves and to find their own King within.
"We already had the theme for the record planned, but we never knew how much the message would resonate with each of us, and that we would be confronted by how fragile life can be. The idea of appreciating what you have and enjoying your life has always been a message in our music, but it never hit so close to home," says Richard.
Songs like "Taking on the World Today," "The Last Time," "Gotta Live" and the stark piano ballad "Over and Over," began to take on new meaning. Inspired by producers Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Blues Traveler, Paul Westerberg) and Gregg Wattenberg (Train, Five for Fighting), O.A.R. began to hone in on the emotional essence of the songs, blending their more traditional reggae roots with new musical elements they had picked up over their fifteen years performing together. The new tracks contain moments of uplift ("Gotta Be Wrong Sometimes"), shimmering guitars ("The Last Time"), world beat ("Gotta Live"), populist fervor ("Fire," "Dangerous Connection"), narrative prowess ("Almost Easy") and even hip-hop (which you can hear in the various connecting interludes as well as the DJ Logic samples, and the excerpt from a speech by rap entrepreneur Russell Simmons on the title track).
The first single "Heaven," which was the last song to be written, served as the centerpiece for the album's central theme.
"Having just gone through the hardest year of my life, I had a clear understanding of how good it is to be here, to be who you are. I feel like we spend so much time worrying about where we are going to end up that we completely ignore the world that surrounds us every day. I was tired of doing that. 'Heaven' is about living on your own terms and being yourself," says Marc.
"This record really tells the story of our journey," adds guitarist Richard On. "It has led us back to what inspired us to write songs in the first place - the story of The Wanderer. However, this time, we had the added benefit of experience which made us better musicians and songwriters."
"Even though there were many ups and downs during the making of this album, we ended up with what we had all hoped foran album where the individual pieces work together and tell a broader story," notes Marc.
And now O.A.R. is ready to get back to what they do bestplaying live for their faithful fans.
"There's such a great feeling in the band now," adds Richard. "We're incredibly excited to get the new music out to all the fans who have been so supportive of us over the years and who have been patiently waiting for this new album. We can't wait to get out on the road and perform the new material."
For O.A.R., the most difficult of times is about to give way to the best of times.

Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today and was released around 7:15 this morning. The booking sheet reveals Richie is 5’1″ and 85 lbs.We’re told two motorists spotted her SUV going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.When the CHP responded, Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle, Richie was on her cellphone.
Law enforcement officers said that she admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot. A preliminary alcohol screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.
The Mona Lisa-like smile, man.

For most authors it will not be necessary to have their own Booktype server, and there's every reason for them not to. Setting up their own Booktype server and backing up the data on a regular basis is a task that may distract authors from writing. If authors are going to share their work with the world, there may be good reasons to share a Booktype server as well - including the ability to take advantage of Booktype's collaborative features. Managed hosting is available from Booktype Pro, with support for creating both public and private books.
If you have your own technical support available, or do not wish to collaborate on the writing task with authors outside your organization, then having your own Booktype server might make sense. Also, if you don't have reliable access to the Internet, having your own Booktype server is a practical alternative to cloud-based services. For example, a school with laptops that can connect to each other on a network but not to the Internet may find a local Booktype server valuable.
The following chapters deal with installation on both GNU/Linux and Apple OS X servers. For writing and editing books, authors can use any computer or mobile device with a modern web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Microsoft Internet Explorer is not currently recommended. | 2019-04-26T16:28:39Z | http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-23-for-authors-and-publishers/before-you-install/ |

It’s that CES time of year again and there have been several interesting announcements related to solid state storage technology. All of the storage giants including Intel, Samsung, SanDisk (WD), Seagate and Toshiba – but also Gigabyte – have taken the lid off some new or upcoming products.
CES in January each year is usually the most important time for tech announcements and 2019 has been no exception. Most major manufacturers have announced road maps or new storage devices for imminent release. Here’s our summary of the key storage announcements at CES 2019.
Unsurprisingly, Intel keeps improving on its Optane lineup. As you may know, Optane SSDs such as the 800P do not rely on conventional NAND Flash memory (like every other SSD). Instead, they are equipped with Intel’s proprietary 3D XPoint chips. However, 3D XPoint-based drives are so far much more expensive than others based on cost-effective TLC (triple-level cell) NAND.
Now Intel wants to unite the best of both worlds with the H10 – a hybrid SSD that combines an Optane/3D XPoint cache with what’s currently the least durable and inexpensive memory type: QLC (quad-level cell) NAND flash memory. This type of cheap memory has only recently seen the light of day in entry-level SSDs such as Samsung’s new 860 QVO.
With the H10, Intel of course intends to bridge the gap between high-end and low-end chips by using 3D XPoint as cache memory, much like current M.2 TLC-based drives like the 970 EVO uses an SLC (single-level cell) cache to improve write performance.
Sadly, there’s no info available yet in the way of performance specifications. What we do know is the interface and form factor: PCIe 3.0 x2/M.2. Also, they will be using a driver solution (Intel RST, Rapid Storage Technology) to combine the two drives, but they will act as a single drive.
Toshiba announced the BG4 SSD – a single-chip BGA (Ball-Grid Array) drive with up to 1 TB of storage utilizing the M.2 2230 form factor, meaning it’s just 30 mm long.
This is accomplished using Toshiba’s new 96-layer 3D BiCS TLC NAND (up from 64 layers). The BG4 replaces its predecessor the BG3 and is available in 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB capacities.
It uses the NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, resulting in sequential read/write speeds of 2,250/1,700 MB/s, respectively. As the form factor implies, the BG4 is intended for embedded devices. There’s no DRAM caching, only the NVMe Host Memory Buffer (HMB).
Another storage giant, Seagate, announced the IronWolf 110 SATA SSD lineup, which is intended for NAS (Network-Attached Storage) use. While most recent developments have been in NVMe M.2 SSDs, the old SATA interface is still alive and kicking in many areas. That includes NAS products, where SSD all-flash arrays are becoming an increasingly popular alternative.
IronWolf 110 SSDs will be available in the capacities 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB, 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB. All of them use 3D TLC NAND, but still offer an endurance rating of one drive write per day, or DWPD. The new IronWolf series is expected to be available by the end of January.
SanDisk (now owned by Western Digital) introduced a new line of SanDisk Extreme PRO in an external form factor, using either USB-A or USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 to connect to the host. The drive use an NVMe-USB bridge internally, which allows for up to 1 GB/s transfer rates. The Extreme PRO has much in common with the somewhat less advanced Extreme (non-PRO) lineup that uses a slower SATA-USB bridge.
Another improvement in the new model is an aluminium shell that supposedly offers better thermal management. SanDisk’s Extreme PRO Portable SSD will be available in 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities.
A somewhat less likely storage announcement came from gaming hardware manufacturer Gigabyte, which announced a new 512 GB Aorus M.2 NVMe SSD based on Toshiba TLC NAND and a Phison controller. Gigabyte does not disclose what Phison controller it uses, but if it’s the Phison E12, the drive will have much in common with the MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro, which also uses Toshiba NAND. Like many competitors, the Aorus drive runs over the PCIe interface using NVMe 1.3. | 2019-04-18T16:20:31Z | https://ssd.technology/news/new-ssds-from-ces-2019/ |

When do you think Canada will go out of recession? How many years will this crisis last?
I have no idea, but it won't be as short as the last few recessions, that's for sure.
Some say this will be the worst year and then slowly it will get back to normal. I personally don't think so. This will be long and deep recession. Nobody can predict how long it will be and the best think will be to save as much as you can for rainy days.
This recession (let's hope it's recession only) will last well into 2010 in my opinion or even longer. The economic news is all bad, and unfortunately we are at least a year behind the US, and this means Canada is yet to feel some serious pain from this economic downturn.
I expect a decent recovery in the second half of 2009. The stock markets are oversold and are due for a big bounce. The Canadian real estate is fairing much better than the US one and in general our economy is in better shape.
The markets are not oversold and they will go down from here. What you are missing is that the earnings in 2009 will be much, much lower compared to 2008, which will make the current stock valuations fair at best.
As for the real estate, we are not better than US, we are just a year or two behind.
I hope it won't last too long, but it sure looks like a nasty one. | 2019-04-24T04:45:54Z | http://forums.canadabanks.net/showthread.php?s=5e33b39a7b61863e22f17fe9b00e2141&t=157 |

Traditionals are just honey, water, and yeast. No other flavors are needed. Traditionals can have fruits, herbs, and spices added to create unique flavors, but right here we want to pimp out (as Rich likes to say) our traditionals, no frills or fluff.
Sessions are light with a typically lower alcohol level. Usually under 10% alcohol by volume.
Standards are usually between 7.5% -14% alcohol by volume.
Sacks take a long time to make and are between 14% -18% alcohol by volume.
Bochet: the honey is cooked until it smells like a delicious toasted marshmallow.

Late last year, OPEC countries agreed to limit oil production in a bid to raise fast-declining prices. But the 11-country group has a history of not sticking to its promises, and it appears OPEC has been quietly increasing its barrels as the price of oil is expected to climb.
The latest Platts survey of OPEC and oil industry officials and analysts shows that OPEC volumes have risen for the fourth consecutive month. Total output, including that of Iraq, is estimated to have risen by 100,000 b/d to 28.57 million b/d in July from 28.47 million b/d in June.
Excluding Iraq, volumes from the 11 members bound by quotas edged up by 80,000 b/d to 26.12 million b/d in July from 26.04 million b/d in June, the survey shows.
The combination of higher prices and OPEC's historical tendency for weaker compliance with production targets over time suggests that OPEC crude oil production could rise over the remainder of the year, unless prices fall sharply from current levels. Rising global oil inventories and increasing tanker activity would seem to indicate that this past trend is continuing.
OPEC is scheduled to meet in September to review market conditions and to consider its production policy. It looks like we already know what they're thinking. | 2019-04-24T14:49:45Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/opec-quietly-increasing-oil-production-2009-8 |
In a small pot, add 1 cup Monterey jack cheese, half of the green chilies, heavy cream, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper and 3 cloves garlic. Heat over low heat till cheese is melted and well blended, about 10 minutes. Keep stirring to prevent bottom from burning. Keep on low until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown beef for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Drain oil and add 1 tbsp. salt and the remaining cumin, chili, garlic, green chilies and cheese.
In a large skillet, preheat over medium-low heat. Drizzle olive oil and place 1 flour tortilla and fill with 1/4 of meat mixture. There will be enough for four large quesadillas. Place another tortilla on top. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes till light golden brown and cook on other side. If the quesadilla is browning too quickly, turn down to low heat. Repeat steps for the remaining quesadillas.
Cut each quesadilla into 4 pieces and top with warm queso sauce. Garnish with cilantro, tomato and sour cream. | 2019-04-22T18:34:46Z | http://cnyrma.com/beef-quesadillas-with-queso-blanco-sauce/ |
Groups of women dressed as characters from 'The Handmaid's Tale' greeted Vice President Mike Pence Monday during his visit to Philadelphia.
Women dressed as characters from the hit Hulu show 'The Handmaid's Tale' protested Vice President Mike Pence's visit to Philadelphia Monday.
Groups of women dressed as characters from "The Handmaid's Tale" greeted Vice President Mike Pence Monday during his visit to Philadelphia.
Protesters wearing red dresses and white caps carried signs reading "Free press, fake president" and "Freedom of religion is freedom from religion."
No, this was not a dystopian nightmare in which fertile women are enslaved by a military dictatorship. Rather, drawing on inspiration from the hit Hulu show, which is based on a Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, protesters marched against President Donald Trump's zero tolerance immigration policy and its perceived anti-choice U.S. Supreme Court nomination, Brett Kavanaugh.
The protests mirrored recent demonstrations throughout the country that use themes from "The Handmaid's Tale" aimed at "[waking] people up to the real life dangers of the Trump/Pence regime," organizers said in a statement.
"Nothing short of removing this whole illegitimate regime from power will stop this nightmare," organizer Samantha Goldman of Refuse Fascism Philly said. "If we allow this regime to get away with caging and torturing children, they know there is nothing they can't get away with."
Pence is in Philadelphia to tout Trump tax cuts and campaign for Pennsylvania senate candidate U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, a staunch conservative and supporter of Trump. Barletta is running against Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey in this year's Pennsylvania midterms.
The event, hosted by America First Policies, a non-profit started by a group of former Trump advisers, took place at the Sheraton Philadelphia in Center City. After the event, Pence attended a fundraiser hosted by Barletta at the Union League.

Understanding inspections is an important part of buying Highlands real estate. Perhaps even more important is understanding homes in general, and the fact that there is no such thing as a perfect home. A home inspection will uncover flaws in your home, revealing small issues and perhaps some bigger ones. After the completion of a home inspection it is up to you, the buyer, on how you want to proceed with the purchase of the Highlands property in question.
After a home inspection is completed the report will be compiled and you, the buyer will go over the list of items that could or should be attended to. In turn you will file your inspection objection through your Highlands REALTOR. You will either accept the home as-is, respond with a list of repairs to be made to the home, or ask for a credit at closing to take care of the repairs yourself. Understanding the process is an important part of buying a home.
Contact the team at Meadows Mountain Realty today to learn more about buying a home in Highlands NC. We welcome the opportunity to update you on current market conditions while getting you started on your Highlands home search at the same time. Let our knowledge and experience work to your advantage, locating a home that suits your needs and your lifestyle.

Software-Defined Networking adoption in the data centre is gaining strong interest, with Software-Defined Wide-Area Networking emerging as the next wave of network innovation, according to a new study from Riverbed Technology.
Riverbed Technology surveyed attendees at VMworld 2015 about their current and future plans to adopt disruptive enterprise networking innovations.
The survey results indicate a software-defined approach to networking is seeing an increased interest among organisations.
Seventy seven percent of survey respondents said that their organisations are at some level of participation with SDN solutions within their data centre, including 13% that have already deployed SDN.
The survey also found that 29% are exploring similar architectures for their remote branch office locations (SD-WAN), including nearly % who have fully implemented SD-WAN solutions.
According to the study, the top three drivers for adopting a software-defined approach to networking in order of importance are being able to deploy new applications and services more quickly (71% said this was somewhat/extremely important), reducing costs (69% of those pursuing), and reducing mistakes when deploying applications and services (68%).
“The new Riverbed Software-Defined survey shows that with the increasing complexity in today’s hybrid IT environments, organisations seek better ways to have full visibility and deliver applications across their distributed enterprise,” explains Paul O’Farrell, senior vice president and general manager of the SteelHead and SteelFusion business units at Riverbed Technology.
“With the rise of SaaS applications, coupled with an insatiable demand for more bandwidth, traditional approaches to wide-area networking no longer meet the needs of business,” he says.
He says Riverbed has been evolving its products the past several years to address this emerging market. | 2019-04-20T23:15:13Z | https://itbrief.com.au/story/sdn-and-sd-wan-rise |

He attended St. Francis Seminary and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on May 22, 1993. Since ordination, Fr. Brian has served at a number of parishes in Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Racine.
As a parish priest, Fr. Brian enjoys presiding at Eucharist and other sacramental celebrations, preaching, and teaching. Fr. Brian is also passionate about applying 12 step principles of recovery to his own life and to helping others to do the same. When not doing ministerial work, Fr. Brian enjoys cooking, gardening, getting together with family and friends, and playing with his Black Labrador, Molly.
Clem has been a member of the parish since 1975. He is married and the father of 3 children, all of whom attended and graduated from St. Mary's grade school. Clem is a Lector, member of the Finance Committee, participant in the Renew program, and, along with wife Joyce, has facilitated pre-marital reviews for engaged couples. With a background of being a corporate lawyer for 35 years, he now serves as a Trustee for the parish.
Jim and his family have been members since 2006 but their roots with St. Mary go deeper as Jim and his wife Paula were married at St. Mary in 1989. Jim and Paula have three children, all of whom are attending or have attended the parish school. Before moving closer to St. Mary, Jim was active at Gesu and St. Martin of Tour. Prior to becoming trustee in 2012, Jim was a member of the Pastoral Council. Being a part of St. Mary is truly a blessing. Jim and his family enjoy being a part of this wonderful Catholic faith community.
Jess grew up in Franklin. He graduated Oak Creek High School in 2001 and earned a Bachelor in Science, majoring in Communication from UW-Parkside. Jess was Baptized and made First Communion at Saint James in Franklin. After that, he only ever attended church when he had to.
While planning their outdoor park wedding, his fiancée Angela told Jess she instead wanted to be married in a Catholic church. In September 2016, they met Fr. Brian and asked for his and the church's blessing to be married. The church granted their request with open arms and they started on their faith journey together. Jess is now a proud revert and has completed his First Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Confirmation during the 2017 Easter Vigil. He was then married to his wife, Angela, on July 1st, 2017.
Jess and Angela now attend weekly Mass, Tuesday Night Scripture Study with Fr. Chuck, and they help clean up after St Mary's Fish Fry Dinner. Jess also volunteers once a month with the Mineral Street Project - Morning Glory.
Jess has said St. Mary Catholic Faith Community has been one of the most recent and profound discoveries of his life. Building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, scripture, church, and Mass has weakened his heart and helps him treat others with more patience and empathy.

Gel liners have always been my favourites because they are easy to apply and stay on forever without smudging or fading. I love my Maybelline Gel Liner to bits, but its not safe for waterline and I wanted something which would stay on my waterline without causing any stinging. Some Google search and I came to know L’Oreal Paris Super Liner 24H Waterproof Gel Eyeliner is safe for waterline. So, immediately I got both of them in brown and black. Nupur has already reviewed the “Black” one from this range here.
This is my second brown gel liner after Coastal Scents Boom Boom and boy, I am loving it to the core. I love wearing neutrals, especially for everyday office wear and this liner is perfect for daily wear. The packaging is cute and compact and very similar to Coastal Scents and MAC Fluidlines. The liner comes with a brush. Its not the usual angled brush, but does a fantastic job of applying the liner, so no complaints.
The color is a gorgeous brown with glossy effect to it. Its not matte, so won’t look dull and I think all skin tones can carry it off well. The best part is that it does not dry out so easily, which is not the case with my Coastal Scents Gel Liner.
The texture is highly creamy, in fact more creamier than any gel liner I have tried. It is like of soft mousse consistency. It applies beautifully and so easily! Its so light that when you are applying you wouldn’t even feel it! The pigmentation is great and just one swipe is more than enough. The staying power is super awesome! I have been using it for office wear and it stays in place all day without smudging or fading. In fact once I applied it in the morning at 8 and came back home after 9:30 and still it was in place! How awesome is that! I have also applied it on waterline and its completely safe! No itching or burning sensation.
Soft, buttery texture and glides on the eyelids like a dream.
Does not smudge or fade away.
Definitely waterproof and you need a good makeup remover to remove it.
The finish is glossy without any shimmer or glitter.
Perfect for everyday or office wear.
Does not irritate skin in any way.
Comes with its own brush, so perfect for beginners, who do not own a separate gel liner brush.
Packaging is convenient and sturdy.
Easily available online and across all L’Oreal counters.
Rs. 825 is kind of expensive, but definitely worth it if you get it on discount!
Rs. 825 for 2.8 gms, I got it at a whopping discount of 30%, so it came down to Rs. 575!!!
Do I Recommend L’Oreal 24H Super Liner Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Brown?
Absolutely!!!! This is the best brown gel liner for me and I highly recommend this to everyone!
I love gel eyeliners and i would looove to buy this one but brown dosent show on my eyes at all. 🙁 i mostly stick to black and navy blue..and if mood happens then a teal at the most..
oh wasnt aware of the orange concealer. thanks for that tip. I do use concealer before applying any eye liner. I am using the MAC pro longwear one. would you be aware if it is orange based or yellow based?
I stay in bangalore, any suggestions where I can get this product in discount??
Thk u Parita :).. But I am looking for discounted price..
even I think brown liners never show up on me. could u suggest some gd orange based concealers pls??
same here aparajita!!! its too xpensive…. | 2019-04-24T08:54:23Z | https://makeupandbeauty.com/loreal-24h-super-liner-waterproof-gel-eyeliner-in-brown-review/ |

Now when you buy tickets through the Android app, Android Pay shows up as a payment option. I just tried it out by buying two tickets to Spider-Man: Homecoming and it worked great. Much faster than PayPal - it's just like using Android Pay in a physical store.
As the late Billy Mays would say, "But wait, there's more!" If you buy tickets with Android Pay and use promo code AndroidPay1 at checkout, you get $3 off your purchase. Google says there will be a new promo code every week until July 5, so just check the Android Pay promotions page for the most recent code. | 2019-04-22T00:25:22Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/06/29/fandango-adds-android-pay-support-purchases-3-off-month-use/ |

As the USD is getting stronger, it cannot compete with the strong GBP. GBP is under the influence of Brexit issue which is supporting this currency in short term.
The support rests at 1.28940 with resistance at 1.29440 which both lines are above the weekly pivot point at 1.28550. The EMA of 10 is moving with bearish bias along the descendant channel and it is below the EMA of 200 and above the EMA of 100. The RSI is falling towards the 50 level, the Stochastic is moving in high ranges and MACD indicator is in positive territory. The ADX is showing weak sell signals.
It seems that USD is not strong enough to beat GBP therefore buyers can target 1.30. | 2019-04-26T06:24:17Z | https://fxglory.com/gbpusd-analysis-for-31-08-2017/ |
Winter introduces you to colder temperatures, darker skies, and an overall gloomier feel when you walk out the door. So it’s no wonder your natural inclination is to avoid all of it. Why battle the snow or put on an extra three layers of warm clothing when you have the option to remain in the comfort of your home?
While it’s certainly easier to hibernate in the winter months than it is maintain exercise routines and social activities, the consequences of inactivity may make those efforts well worth it.
Furthermore, reduced sunlight in the winter, in addition to potential changes in serotonin and melatonin levels in the body, can put you at risk for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression that typically occurs around the same time each year and is characterized by changes in mood, appetite, and energy levels.
For these reasons, it’s vital that you maintain physical activity, nurture your mental health, and keep your social schedule intact. The following ideas can encourage a healthier lifestyle outside of the home.
Reframing how you think of the cold weather may unveil the fun activities that it allows for. In the summer, for example, you can’t build a snowman with the kids or partake in snowball fights—both of which are not only great ways to stay active but to also let loose and have fun.
Ice skating, skiing, sledding, or going for a hike in the snow are all great ways to remain active while taking advantage of the weather conditions. Only a few extra layers of clothing required!
Numerous sports are played indoors in the winter such as soccer, tennis, swimming, volleyball, and basketball. Pick your favorite and find a league in your area to join. A quick Internet search will turn up options near you or you can inquire about teams at your local gym.
In addition to the physical benefits, sports leagues also offer mental health benefits resulting from friendly competition, engaging with others, and bonding over a shared interest.
If you don’t find organized sports appealing and prefer a more solitary activity, try swimming laps or rock climbing. Not only do these activities engage multiple muscle groups within the body, but they also promote mindfulness. Rock climbing, in particular, requires concentration and focused attention while a pool can serve as a novel environment for your senses, encouraging you to engage and take notice.
Your busy schedule often remains busy during the winter months, which is why it’s vital you allow yourself downtime to recover. Both body and mind are adept at reminding you when it’s in need of a break (you just need to listen!).
Binge watching a new show or re-watching an entire TV series has never been easier but after a couple hours, particularly during winter, it may leave you feeling isolated, unproductive, and unstimulated.
If you feel in need of some downtime but could also use time outside of the house, head to your local coffeehouse to read a good book or chat with a friend over coffee. Coffeehouses are often an ideal setting to catch up on downtime while also offering just enough stimulation.
However, if your brain wants nothing more than to stare at a screen for a few hours, swap the TV and couch for a seat at the movie theater. It doesn’t require much effort but still gets you out of the house.
Winter is a great time of year to take up hot yoga. Few things feel better than sweating out toxins in 90-degree heat then walking outside into cold, fresh air. (Walking outside to further high degree temperatures during the summer just isn’t as pleasant an experience).
Studios dedicated solely to hot yoga have increased in popularity. It’s vital, however, to stay hydrated when practicing and to listen to your body. Light-headedness, confusion, and nausea are all signs you need a break, according to a Time article.
If you aren’t a fan of the heat, yoga classes practiced in an average-temperature room provide many of the same benefits such as a reduction in stress, increased muscle strength and tone, and improved cardio fitness.
The cold weather makes it easier to isolate yourself, not only from physical activity but from other people. It’s important that you maintain social contact with your support system as well as seek opportunities to meet new people. While scrolling through Facebook may feel like maintaining social connections (without putting forth much effort), you need face-to-face interactions.
Commit to a book club or art class that meets regularly, set up dinner dates with friends, join a bowling league, or simply make a surprise visit to a friend’s house. (Elderly people can become particularly isolated in the winter, often unable to leave their house. A surprise visit is often all it takes to make their day). Volunteering is another great way to meet new people, and help others while boosting your own mental health.
Perhaps the hardest part of staying active and maintaining social connections in the winter is the extra effort it requires. When it’s warm and sunny out, you are naturally inclined to get moving and more easily come into contact with more people during the day (since you’re outside more often).
But by planning ahead, the extra effort to move and socialize will feel less daunting. Schedule activities, whether it’s meeting a friend for coffee or volunteering once a week. That way you’ll be committed to it and have something to look forward to.
Additionally, have a plan in place for those moments when you feel yourself scratching the walls after spending too much time indoors. It can be as simple as going for a swim or heading to a friend’s house. Whatever the plan may be, when you establish it ahead of time, you are more inclined to change out of your pajamas and step outside for a while.
Remember, there’s no harm in spending a little time at home. Curling up in front of the fireplace or cooking a hearty soup or home-cooked meal is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. It’s all about maintaining balance: enjoy alone time indoors while also prioritizing physical and social activity outside the home. | 2019-04-20T15:04:05Z | https://chopra.com/articles/7-ways-to-avoid-the-winter-hibernation-trap |

I learned a lot and the experience was great! Ms. Dalgleish was professional, informative, and encouraging. She was also very kind in her assessments. There were a couple of funny moments as well. In any event, thank you so very much.
All in all this course is great and convenient for me, as I work two jobs and I'm far from a school that offers this kind of course. This is a great stepping stone for me to enter the healthcare field. I'm looking forward to applying what I learned and to learn more about being an AMA.
I am so happy that I took this class! I enjoyed each lesson and learned so much. I found the AMA job to be a good fit because of my background being a secretary...I am so excited to have found something I'm interested in. Thank you for teaching this class. It was wonderful!
An awesome course! I'm very happy I decided to take this course. I've been at the same job for almost 10 years now and it is time for a change. This course really opened my eyes to what an AMA's job can look like on a daily basis.
I consider my self fortunate to have been given the opportunity to learn about the administrative side of medicine by taking this course. You did a great job of describing the nature of the work of an Administrative Medical Assistant. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wishes to understand the business side of medicine.
This class was very informative and gives a good introduction to the field. I also appreciated that the information was given in a straight forward manner. Thank you.
I have really enjoyed taking this class. It has introduced me to the world of an AMA, and all the duties they may be exposed to...I am so glad that this class was offered online. I am interested in taking more of these classes...I think the instructor has done a great job covering every aspect of AMA. We covered a lot of very useful material in this class and I wouldn't change a thing. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that is thinking of entering the medical field.
I would like to take this time out to express how much I enjoyed this class. Ms. Dalgleish is an amazing instructor who took the time out to make our learning experience enjoyable as well as educational. She is truly amazing...The resources for us to refer back to is an awesome thing to carry around for future references...Thank you so much, Ms. Dalgleish!
This course has been wonderful, it covers a lot of information in a very efficient manner. Ms.Dalgleish demonstrates a mastery of the subject. She imparts her knowledge in a very simple and friendly way, not to mention her appropriate use of the English language. I have learned a variety of new information not just about AMAs, but about how the medical office and the healthcare system function. It was insightful indeed.
First of all, thank you for giving us such in-depth knowledge of AMA in such a short time. I have always enjoyed your classes. Sometimes the information seems to be a lot but slowly we realize that all of it is important and very useful making the course more than exploring a particular career. Thank you once again for all the effort you have taken to make it so informative and easy to understand.
Looking for a fun, challenging job that's always in demand? If so, AMA (administrative medical assisting) may be just the field for you! In this lesson, look at the exciting job opportunities for AMAs, the variety of careers they can choose from, and the different settings where they can work.
The law and medicine go hand-in-hand—so today you will learn the laws you will want to know if you become an AMA. This lesson covers everything from contracts to malpractice and delve into HIPAA (a federal act that affects everyone in the health care field).
Today’s lesson explores the office equipment and computer hardware you're likely to use as an AMA. In addition, you will delve into software—both standard office programs and the specialized software we use in the field of medical information management.
Now that you're an expert on the outside of a patient chart, it's time to look inside. Today you will find out which forms go in a medical record, and just where you will put each one. In addition, you will learn about two styles of note-taking: SOAP and CHEDDAR. And finally, you will delve into the topic of medical record audits and find out the legal way to correct a patient's chart.
It's time to introduce the star of the show: the patient. Today you will learn everything about what we call a patient encounter. This lesson focuses on the phone skills you can use to make appointments, handle questions, and soothe angry callers. Next, flip open the appointment book and explore the tricks for scheduling patients easily and efficiently. And finally, follow a patient's visit from start to finish, and see how many tasks an AMA does during that appointment.
This lesson starts in the waiting room, where you will learn more about the tasks a receptionist handles—from opening and closing a medical office to keeping the reception area ship-shape. After that, understand barriers to communicating effectively with patients, and you will discover ways to overcome them.

2Kings 17:35 says “The LORD made a covenant with them and commanded them, ‘You shall not fear other gods or bow yourselves to them or serve them or sacrifice to them.'” It isn’t that we don’t worship God. We do. Our problem is that often we have a personal pantheon of gods. These pantheons are fluid. One day the primary god I worship might be my child’s health, the next day it could be getting a bill paid, and the third day it could be my marriage. These are good things but they are not God. Because they are worthy desires, we are tempted to worship them by believing that they will bring delight to our lives. This magnifies our idols and minimizes God.
While we’re bowing to these other gods, we are paying lip service to the LORD. Because of this intellectual commitment to God we often don’t sense the emotional commitment to our idols. So often our emotional misery in life is tied to the fact that we’re worshiping idols that either can’t do anything for us or gods that are evading us. You see, when God isn’t the only god of my life, when I’m not getting what I want, unhappiness and misery are sure to follow. Our idols are always cruel. Psalm 37:4 is truth we need to get into our hearts: “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” The LORD is our only sure thing in life. Because of this, anything else we delight in is sure to disappoint. What god are you running after today?
I’ve been more out of the office than in lately. Once again, there are many good articles worth considering.
First, some free stuff (I love free stuff). This month’s free audio book from Christian Audio is Stott’s insightful book “Basic Christianity.” Also Sinclair Ferguson’s wonderful book “In Christ Alone” is free. Finally, Wiersbe’s “Be Equipped (Deuteronomy): Acquiring the Tools for Spiritual Success” is free for the taking.
Based on my limited experience, one of the most difficult things we have to do in life is forgive others. Many of us have a list of personal Hitlers in our lives. Here Tullian illustrates the truth that people who are forgiven, forgive.
As we leave church on a Sunday morning we might very well discuss with our family whether or not we liked the sermon. Tim Challies says that this sort of critiquing isn’t what we should be doing with sermons. As you might suspect, I appreciate what he says.
People who are opposed to Calvinism typically don’t use scripture to argue against it. I suspect this is because scripture is the Calvinist’s home court. Usually the mode of attack is more straw man based. Caricatures, misinformed myths of Calvinism are attacked. Michael Patton discusses twelve common myths about Calvinism. Even those who believe in the doctrines of grace should read what he has to say.
Finally, here is a encouraging post about the power of singing. The piece was written with Sunday mornings in mind, however, I think that the power of gospel-centered music he articulates is available the rest of the week as well. | 2019-04-23T09:54:39Z | https://luggaged.wordpress.com/category/worship/ |

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C.In the mid-1980s, farm labor organizer Baldemar Velasquez helped bring the Campbell's Soup Company to its knees, essentially forcing the corporate giant to negotiate an unprecedented collective bargaining agreement with farm workers and tomato growers.
On June 26, Velasquez announced plans to organize a national boycott of the North Carolina-based Mt. Olive Pickle Company, the South's largest pickle company.
Founder and president of the Toledo, Ohio-based Farm Labor Organizing Committee, Velasquez announced the boycott plans on the steps of the North Carolina state Capitol at the conclusion of a four-day, 70-mile march from Mount Olive to Raleigh.
Like the Campbell's agreement, Velasquez wants Mt. Olive to enter into an unusual three-way labor deal with growers and farm workers to improve working conditions and increase wages for the mostly Latino labor force that picks millions of cucumbers in fields throughout eastern North Carolina.
Company CEO William Bryan says nothing doing. Mt. Olive Pickle Company has conducted its business union-free since 1926, and it plans to hold that line, he said.
"We don't employ migrant farm workers," Bryan said. "They are employed by independent farmers."
Because of the company's large volume cucumber purchases, Mt. Olive signs contracts with certain growers before seeds are even sown. That policy, says Velasquez, obligates the company to deal with farm workers directly.
An evangelical minister, the charismatic Velasquez conjures up images of CTsar Chßvez and Martin Luther King Jr. with his powerful oratory skills and commitment to nonviolence. In speeches Velasquez usually quotes scripture verbatim and confidently assures supporters that victory is at hand because God is on their side. | 2019-04-19T13:12:42Z | https://sojo.net/magazine/september-october-1998/where-union-has-gone |
15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.
Acts 14, 15 (MSG) When Barnabas and Paul finally realized what was going on, they stopped them. Waving their arms, they interrupted the parade, calling out, “What do you think you’re doing! We’re not gods! We are men just like you, and we’re here to bring you the Message, to persuade you to abandon these silly god-superstitions and embrace God himself, the living God. We don’t make God; he makes us and all of this— sky, earth, sea, and everything in them.
Many leaders are trending towards the world of false prophets by embracing distorted doctrine and defective ministry patterns. There are some leaders that teach that the senior leader should be compared to Jesus. There is a continual comparison of the senior leader to Jesus, making them equal with Jesus. In other words it is taught that you should see your leader like you see Jesus and act accordingly.
Among this false teaching is a continual innuendo that the leader should be treated like Jesus. They will even go as far to justify their behavior by distorting scripture to articulate their position. This type of teaching is what perverts genuine honor for leaders and generate misplaced loyalty.
No man can sit in the seat of Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God, God manifested in the flesh. Men are leaders that lead people to Jesus and not to themselves. Ephesians 5:1 (AMP). Nonetheless because of gifting and the appeared success among some, the roles of some leaders are being confused with God himself. To only ignore this behavior and continue to operate in these patterns of ministry will only lead to ruin.
Apostle Peter immediately rejected Cornelius worship and told him None of that. In other words worshipping man is unacceptable in the Kingdom only Father God receives worship. Unfortunately today some leaders allow such behavior to take place without rebuking people from worshiping them.
Because of the sensationalism of ministry and the immaturity of some believers, extreme accolades and the demand of notoriety can cause some to cross the line and go from honoring their leader to inadvertently yielding worship to them. It is the responsibility of both the believer and leader to maintain a healthy balance. Any believer who violates these boundaries should be corrected or even rebuked by their leader, providing the leader is an authentic apostle or prophet.
The leader that permits this type of violation to take place unchecked, sets him or herself up to be injected with pride and deception. Also if unchecked, this can lead to the anger of the Lord to arise against the offender.
23 Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.
Accepting worship from people is not just a violation of kingdom principle, it can cause physical sickness to come upon an individual which leads to death. Therefore leaders, we can see clearly that allowing this activity to take place can be very dangerous. To accept and flirt with the extreme accolades that come from people can lead to a more dangerous end.
2 Corinthians 11:7-13 (NLT) Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God’s Good News to you without expecting anything in return? 8 I “robbed” other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost. 9 And when I was with you and didn’t have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece[a] will ever stop me from boasting about this. 11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows that I do.
12 But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours. 13 These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:7-13 (AMP) -7 But did I perhaps make a mistake and do you a wrong in debasing and cheapening myself so that you might be exalted and enriched in dignity and honor and happiness by preaching God’s Gospel without expense to you?
8 Other churches I have robbed by accepting [more than their share of] support for my ministry [from them in order] to serve you.
9And when I was with you and ran short financially, I did not burden any [of you], for what I lacked was abundantly made up by the brethren who came from Macedonia. So I kept myself from being burdensome to you in any way, and will continue to keep [myself from being so].
10As the truth of Christ is in me, this my boast [of independence] shall not be debarred (silenced or checked) in the regions of Achaia (most of Greece).
11And why? Because I do not love you [do not have a preference for you, wish you well, and regard your welfare]? God perceives and knows that I do!
12But what I do, I will continue to do, [for I am determined to maintain this independence] in order to cut off the claim of those who would like [to find an occasion and incentive] to claim that in their boasted [mission] they work on the same terms that we do.
13For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).
2 Corinthians 11:7-15 (MSG) I wonder, did I make a bad mistake in proclaiming God’s Message to you without asking for something in return, serving you free of charge so that you wouldn’t be inconvenienced by me? It turns out that the other churches paid my way so that you could have a free ride. Not once during the time I lived among you did anyone have to lift a finger to help me out. My needs were always supplied by the believers from Macedonia province. I was careful never to be a burden to you, and I never will be, you can count on it. With Christ as my witness, it’s a point of honor with me, and I’m not going to keep it quiet just to protect you from what the neighbors will think. It’s not that I don’t love you; God knows I do. I’m just trying to keep things open and honest between us.
12 -15And I’m not changing my position on this. I’d die before taking your money. I’m giving nobody grounds for lumping me in with those money-grubbing “preachers,” vaunting themselves as something special. They’re a sorry bunch—pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers—posing as Christ’s agents but sham to the core. And no wonder! Satan does it all the time, dressing up as a beautiful angel of light. So it shouldn’t surprise us when his servants masquerade as servants of God. But they’re not getting by with anything. They’ll pay for it in the end.
We can clearly see; Apostle Paul was very concern with separating false apostles from authentic apostles. In-fact Paul was determined to not participate in any of their patterns of ministry. He refused to burden people financially and use witchcraft tactics (deceitful workers) to obtain finances. Apostle Paul knew it was important to expose or undercut those who were looking for an opportunity to boast that their work or patterns of ministry were the same as approved authentic apostles.
With today’s perception among some circles in the body of Christ the apostle Paul would be considered unsuccessful in ministry because of the statement he made in verse 9: “when I was with you and didn’t have enough to live on” (NLT) “when I was with you and ran short financially” (AMP) This type of statement made today would disqualify you as a leader in the sight of some men. To have financial challenges as a leader some how has become a sign of failure or the authenticity of their leadership becomes suspect because of a lack of finances.
Many have become materialistic in nature. The material accumulation is the gauge whereby success is measured. Unfortunately, this false model for measuring success has influenced too many leaders and saints in the body of Christ. The pursuit to satisfy the demands of such a model of gaining material possession to qualify Godly success is false.
So let’s take a look at some of the patterns of ministry today vs. approved apostolic patterns in scripture. How are tithes and offerings received? Do they always talk about giving money? Is every message that’s preached tied to you giving money or sowing a seed to benefit from what’s just been preached? Do you feel financially drained and burdened to constantly make extreme financial sacrifices? If you don’t sow that special seed the ministry will end?
These are some of the questions you might want to ask yourself to determine false apostles. Most if not all false apostles are in it for the money. Some will tell you if the money isn’t coming in as desired they will soon enough quit God and go back into secular society to work where they are sure to make some money.
Don’t get me wrong, I ‘m not against people giving and sowing into leaders and financially supporting the ministry, but like apostle Paul the way to separate the true from the false is to examine the administration of their financial giving structures and patterns of ministry. Apostle Paul knew one way to cut off false apostles, people who were claiming to be apostles who were not; is to remove the emphasis on finances and the need for people to pay him for his service.
Neither did, Paul say it was something wrong with saints sowing into him to help advance the ministry, in-fact he stated he took more of the share from the Macedonia province to provide for the church in which he was presently ministering to. Paul chose this pattern of ministry to clearly show a sharp contrast between the true and the false. Paul refused to be identified with money-grubbing preachers. One of the signature signs of false apostles and prophets; is a relentless pursuit of money and the volition to become rich off religion. (1 Timothy 6:5, 9). True apostolic leaders are careful to never be a burden to the people financially. Where as false apostles and prophets will burden and enslave people financially, while claiming authority of apostleship.
What’s amazing to me is that churches and ministries say they are a non-profit organization; however some have crossed over to the pursuit of making a profit and measuring their success based on the accumulation of profits. Again, I’m not so naïve to understand there is costs involved in ministry, I get it. Nonetheless to market your services to produce profit is not the intention of God and a violation of the non-profit status. Authentic apostles value integrity and will seek to provide ministry without placing financial burdens upon people in order to develop them in Christ.
I am in agreement with the above article in content and and subject matter. This article serves as an important check and balance to those among us that would drift off into personal idolatry and manipulative deceptive financial techniques in discharging God’s ministry. Apostle Derrick Rodgers has served the body of Christ well by posting this article online.
Am too glad to read about what God is doing in the lives of thousands of people on the face of the earth through your ministry.
I will keep you in prayers so God will increase you and your wife grace to keep the flame of God burning in the world.
I was very touched when i encountered your site for the first time as well as the many times i spent in reading about your work. hope that you make an appearance in Liberia, West Africa. | 2019-04-25T06:17:04Z | http://www.lifegivingministry.org/?page_id=94 |
