What’s Gone Right – and Wrong – with Right to Counsel?
Affordable housing in New York City hinges on a patchwork of policies created amid the often-cutthroat economics of local real estate. The tensions of the system play out daily in the city’s housing courts, where some 230,000 petitions for eviction were filed across the five boroughs in 2017, according to court data. In these disputes, tenants who don’t fully understand their rights and have no representation often face experienced landlord attorneys who pressure them to settle quickly, often to the detriment of the tenants.
Sources: Eviction order data reported by New York City Marshals. Population and median household income data from U.S. Census Bureau’s American FactFinder.
In August 2017, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed historic legislation aimed at rebalancing these power dynamics. The law, known as Right to Counsel, guarantees free legal representation to low-income tenants facing evictions. The initial rollout provides lawyers to qualified tenants in select zip codes in each borough and is expected to be fully implemented by 2022. More than any other law, city officials have trumpeted Right to Counsel for its promotion of housing equity. New York was the first American city to make this commitment.
Now, fourteen months after its passage – and with talks of expansion – a Right to Counsel progress report seemed appropriate.
Welcome to the Right to Counsel Series. We’re looking at the law’s rollout to discover how well its intentions are playing out in reality. You’ll find stories from across the affordable housing ecosystem, exploring topics such as the inadequate infrastructure of housing court, the impact of an influx of young tenant lawyers and the effort to inform tenants of their new rights. We capture the chaos in Brooklyn’s housing court, we speak with smaller landlords who feel overlooked by the pro-tenant legislation and we hear from an entrepreneurial eviction specialist. Finally, we interviewed City Council Member Mark Levine, the Manhattan politician who co-sponsored the original Right to Counsel bill.
With through lines both big and small, these stories illuminate Right to Counsel’s impact across the city and touch on housing issues that affect millions of New Yorkers.

This year my husband and I decided to take the kids to watch the Miami City Ballet Nutcracker show. Our kids are old enough now and ready to be introduced to the ballet and other forms of performing arts. My youngest is 4 years old and loves the ballet. She’s even in her ballet school’s Nutcracker show as a mouse. So cute!
The Miami City Ballet Nutcracker show ran from December 9 until December 30th at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami. The show’s duration was 1 hour and 54 minutes worth 1 intermission. We sat in the mezzanine section for $75 per adult.
This was my first time at the Arsht Center as I usually go to Broward’s Center for the Performing Arts. The Arsht Center is just beautiful. A true architectural gem. Big chandeliers and columns gives the place a palace-like feeling. The seats were big and comfortable. One thing I’ve never seen at Broward Center: booster seats available everywhere. We were attending the 7pm show which required dressing up.
The show was fantastic. The orchestra played Tchaikovsky’s music to Balanchine’s choreography perfectly. The costumes were very intricate so much so that I could still see the details from my seat. The dancers were enjoying performing as much as I enjoyed watching the show. My kids didn’t fall asleep and to my surprise my 7 year old boy was really into it. After the show, I asked him to tell me the story and so he did: is Christmas eve and after everyone goes to sleep, Marie and her Nutcracker Prince take off to a winter wonderland adventure complete with a parade of characters performing for the Nutcracker Prince.
Overall, the Miami City Ballet Nutcracker show was a great experience and a great holiday treat for the entire family. If you cannot afford the $85 per ticket price, I suggest you check out the Nutcracker production by Inna’s Hall of Fame in Cooper City for $20 per ticket.
I was not payed for the review and all opinions here are my own.

Founded in 1844, Hillsdale College, Michigan is known for its strong tradition in liberal arts and classical education. Its campus spans approximately 400 acres and encompasses 51 buildings. Buildings affiliated with the college account for roughly 1.4 million square feet of total space. In this Sponsored Article – Belimo explain how its Energy Valve helped Hillsdale College to achieve improved efficiency and reduced energy costs.
In June 2011, Hillsdale’s energy department implemented an energy management program in an effort to reduce costs associated with providing utility services to the campus. The primary goal of the plan was to help the college absorb potential utility hikes while avoiding the need to increase its utility budget.
The first step required monitoring occupied needs with system runtimes to see when and where internal efficiency could be gained. After roughly a year and a half, maintenance personnel concluded that a more creative and proactive approach was needed. The college’s energy department began closely examining the operation of HVAC systems to identify areas where substantial savings could be achieved.
The majority of Hillsdale College’s chilled water needs are handled by a main loop, which is driven by a central chilling plant. The plant was commissioned in 1999 and features two chillers (500-ton) and (650-ton) that combine to service over 800,000 square feet of building space. With limited diagnostic capabilities, technicians had limited access to data coming out of the central plant. In order to determine where inefficiencies were present, energy management personnel began looking at the performance of individual air handlers and more specifically, chilled water Delta-T across each of the cooling coils. They then compared those findings with how the equipment was initially designed and commissioned.
Many of Hillsdale’s buildings were experiencing ‘low delta-T’ syndrome. Typically, low delta-T is caused by over flowing chilled water through the cooling coil, which results in inefficient heat transfer. In addition to higher electricity costs, this triggered the second chiller to come online in order to handle the volumetric flow requirement of the system. The issue was so severe that the installation of a third chiller was being considered. Recognising this, the staff began searching for a solution, which led them to the Belimo Energy Valve.
In Spring 2013, Hillsdale College decided to install three Energy Valves as part of a pilot test.
The Energy Valves increased delta-T across coils to between 10-12°F. The valves increased pumping efficiency and reduced energy consumption, thereby enhancing cooling efficiency. There was no further need for a third chiller. Users were able to view all of this information from a simple web interface. This data was used to control pumps with variable frequency drives, reducing overall chiller load. The newly developed control dashboard, that allowed data to be viewed from all Energy Valves on one page, enabled maintenance technicians to monitor and react quickly to variables.
After the success of the pilot test, they decided to install additional Energy Valves throughout the campus. From May 2014 to May 2015, 24 Energy Valves were installed in 11 buildings.

There are many individuals in Florida who owe money to multiple debtors- have multiple, high interest credit card debt, unpaid utilities and personal loans past due. Does this sound like you? Are you troubled everyday by creditor calls? Are your wages being garnished for unpaid loans? Are you considering how to consolidate debt in Florida?
Clean Slate: With multiple outstanding bills, you would most likely have a negative credit rating. In considering how to consolidate debt in Florida, consider that it would stop further damage to your credit rating. By consolidating your debt you can save considerably on high interest rates and fees associated with several debts. You can also monitor your debt as it will only be in one place instead of in multiple places.
Get Further in Life: As you accumulate further debt, consider how it would affect your future. With outstanding debt, your access to future credit is greatly reduced. That new house or new car is that much farther away with outstanding debt than if you had no debt and a clean credit.
Peace of Mind: With multiple creditors, there are also multiple creditor calls. This can disturb your peace of mind and your family life- consider consolidating your debt to stop creditor calls and reclaim your peace.
Unsecured Loans: There are several unsecured loans that can help you pay off your creditors and consolidate your several debts into one loan. While most unsecured loans are capped off at 25,000 you can use equity that you hold. For example, if you own your own home, you can secure a higher loan amount by obtaining home equity loans. These loans can be used to pay off your outstanding debt and pay one monthly payment to pay off your home equity loan. These loans tend to have lower interest rates than high interest credit cards or personal loans. In addition, choosing to subscribe to a fixed payment schedule on your loan can ensure that you remain dedicated to repaying your loan.
Debt Counseling: A viable answer to the question of how to consolidate debt in Florida is to obtain debt counseling. Debt counseling services will direct you to decrease your spending while consolidating all your debt into one monthly payment for one loan. In addition, these counseling services offer budgeting services and find low interest rates to consolidate your loans. With debt counseling and consolidation, you can rid yourself of creditor calls and prevent future debt.
Debt consolidation can have significant impact on your personal life. With debt consolidation, it is important to be serious about debt consolidation. There needs to be a personal commitment to reduce and clear debt. In considering how to consolidate debt in Florida, a twofold action plan is needed. One, debt consolidation into one, low interest loan is just the first step-regular payments to decrease debt is necessary. Secondly, you need to be committed to reduce spending and live on a budget. By doing this, you will pay down your debt while not accumulating any more debt. Over time, with spending down your debt and controlling spending you can steadily improve your credit rating.
While paying off your debt, be sure to cultivate some healthy spending habits along the way. For example, rather than buying things on credit, consider setting aside some savings in order to buy what you need. If you do subscribe to layaway plans, pick interest free plans and be sure to make monthly payments before the interest rate kicks in. When you borrow later on, be sure to borrow only what you can pay back within your income. Also, calculate any additional fees that may be associated with your borrowing. Check by calculating all your monthly expenses in order to be sure that you can repay your debt. Discriminate between your necessary and unnecessary spending to make sure that you can afford your expenses. Lastly, set your sights far- make sure you set, for yourself, some long term goals for future. Some of these goals can include paying off all your debt, owning your own car, saving money for a down payment or saving for your child’s college tuition.
Consolidating debt has considerable advantages- it improves your credit rating, reduces your payments to one low interest loan and has the potential to eliminate your debt completely. There are also several avenues you can use to consolidate debt like unsecure loans and debt counseling. But, this requires personal commitment on your part to reduce spending and to pay down your outstanding debt.

To further discuss your unsecured loan options with our knowledgeable and highly-experienced team give Hodgestone a call on 1300 463 469.
An unsecured loan is a type of loan where money is taken out without being guaranteed against an asset, like a home or car.
While most loans ask for some kind of security to borrow against, an unsecured loan can bypass needing to put down an asset, which can save time for a quick approval and offer an option for renters and people without other assets like a car.
What are the pro’s and con’s of unsecured loans?
If you’re still unsure whether or not an unsecured loan is the right option for you, speak to the finance specialists at Hodgestone Finance. With years of experience across all loan types, we’ll be able to recommend the best type of loan for you.
What is a low doc unsecured loan?
Low doc loans are loans that are taken out without the full documentation most standard bank loans required. There is a lot of overlap between low doc loans and unsecured loans – a lot unsecured loans are, by virtue of being unsecured, low doc.
However there are many unsecured loan providers that, since no security is being taken out, require a good credit history and other documentation you may not have.
To help find an unsecured loan that you meet to documentation eligibility for, contact Hodgestone Finance – we’ll be able to connect you with the right lender.

For example, Hodgestone Finance can act as an unsecured loan broker for you, offering our expertise in consulting and the finance industry to connect your with the most competitive option possible.
What is a private unsecured loan?
There are banks that offer unsecured loans, like ANZ or Bank of Melbourne. However, you may find that the best option is a non-bank or private lender. This is simply a lender that operates privately, and is usually an option for people seeking smaller loan amounts/flexible loan terms, like with unsecured loans.
As an expert in broking and consultancy, our experience and industry network means we can help direct you to the best loan option and get the best contract terms for your particular needs.
How do you find a good unsecured loan?
As mentioned above, one of the best things you can do to get the best unsecured loan is to find a loan broker that specialises in unsecured finance, like Hodgestone Finance. An initial consultation period with us – to discuss your needs and assets – will help us figure out if an unsecured loan is your best option, and if so who should loan from.
What are things I should consider while choosing an unsecured loan?
Before committing to an unsecured loan, it’s important you consider if it’s your best option. The repayment rates tend to be higher, and the penalties for defaulting can be greater – particularly if you’re taken to court and have to pay legal fees on top of amounts owing. You may have assets you don’t realise can be used as a security – it’s always worth speaking with a consultant like Hodgestone Finance before committing to any loan straight out of the gate.

Long Island’s residents are itching to shed their layers of clothing in preparation of summer. Forget jackets, long sleeves and pants! It’s all about tank-tops, shorts and flip-flops once June rolls around. Our four-legged pals, however, don’t have that luxury. While pets like cats and dogs do literally shed as temperatures rise that can’t take off their entire coat of fur when they need to cool down. Overheating, or heat prostration, can be just as serious a problem for animals as it is for people. LongIsland.com is has a number of tips to help pet owners keep their furry friends healthy, happy, and cool this summer.
1. First, bring your pet to your veterinarian for a spring or early summer checkup. Get your pet tested for heartworm, fleas and ticks.
2. Second, know the warning signs. When overheated animals will display symptoms of excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. Symptoms can also be as extreme and seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit.
3. Never, ever leave an animal alone in a car, even if you’ve left the windows open. Not only is this illegal in several states but Dr. Louise Murray , Director of Medicine at ASPCA Bergh Memorial Hospital, also says, “On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time - even with the windows open – which could lead to a fatal heat stroke.” If you’re bringing your pet along on a summertime road trip, make sure to carry plenty of fresh water to keep them hydrated. Never take your pet to the beach unless you can provide a shaded area and plenty of fresh water.
4. Avoid letting your pet linger on hot asphalt. Being so low to the ground, body heat of an animal can skyrocket much more quickly than a human’s. They also run the risk of burning the pads of their feet.
5. Keep pets indoors on hot days and make sure fresh, clean, cool water is easily accessible. It’s very easy for animals to become dehydrated in summer heat. If your pet is elderly, overweight or suffers from heart or lung disease keep outdoor activities to a strict minimum. Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) animals, such as bulldogs, Pekingese, Boston terriers, and Persian cats, have a difficult time cooling themselves down through panting and should also be kept inside in cool rooms as much as possible. Don’t force exercise on an animal in hot and humid weather. Instead opt to take them for a walk in the morning or evening when the temperature is cooler.
6. Give your dogs a summertime doo. A lightweight haircut helps to prevent overheating. Keep the fur length to about one-inch in length. Shaving the fur off entirely removes any and all protection animals have from the sun, allowing for sunburns. Frequently brushing cats can also help to prevent overheating.
Besides overheating, there are other summertime dangers that pet owners must face.
• Avoid walking your pet in areas where chemicals such as rodenticides, insecticides, and lawn and garden care products have been used. Be aware of coolant leaking from your car. Animals are attracted to coolant’s sweet taste. Ingestion of these chemicals can easily cause death. Immediately call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 if you suspect your animal has ingested any poisons.
• Keep collars and up-to-date tags on your pets year round and never let your pet run loose. They could easily be injured, contract a fatal disease such as rabies, be stolen or killed. You may want to consider micro-chipping your pet for identification purposes.
• Be sure to keep windows closed or to place screens in all windows your plan to have open. Animals can easily fall from heights which can lead to serious injury or death. The ASPCA sees a rise in injuries resulting from a fall during the summertime. So much so that they gave it a name, High-Rise Syndrome.
• Leave your pet at home this 4th of July. Fireworks are extremely dangerous and should not be used around animals. Curious pets may experience severe burns or trauma as a result. Unused fireworks can be equally as hazardous as they “contain potentially toxic substances such as potassium nitrate, copper, chlorates, arsenic and other heavy metals,” according to Dr. Steven Hansen, ASPCA Senior Vice President of Animal Health Services.
By following these fundamental pet health and safety guidelines both you and your pet will get to enjoy the full potential of summer.

As social-impact professionals, many of us work at organizations that rely on at least some amount of grant funding for programmatic and staff support. While some organizations are lucky enough to have a grant writer on staff, at other nonprofits, grant application responsibilities fall to whomever has a free moment and some writing chops.
If you find yourself in the the latter group, read on for grant-writing tips.
The end result, those neatly typed pages you’ll one day hand over, will exist only because of the time and energy you invest in crafting an insightful and thoroughly researched proposal.
Your proposal will be a mix of facts, figures, and stories that show the impact of your work along with detailed accounts of your project’s timeline and objectives. Begin by creating an outline of the entire proposal. Getting a few things organized before you start putting your thoughts on paper will go a long way to support your process.
Get buy-in from coworkers. Talk with everyone who will be involved in the outcome before you begin working on content. Plan a meeting with as many stakeholders as you can gather. Even a 30-minute brainstorming session can better inform the content of your proposal. Come prepared with questions, such as: How will we measure success? Who will be responsible for organizing reports to the funder? What is the ideal timeline for use of these funds should we be awarded the grant?
Make sure that your work matches the interests and aims of the funders. Sometimes, in a rush to get a bunch of proposals out the door, organizations apply for grants that don’t truly align with their work and mission. Trying to bend your program to fit a foundation’s guidelines can make things harder for you in the long run. Skip these applications and keep looking. Your time can be better spent elsewhere!
Go over the foundation’s requirements carefully. You want to know exactly what information the foundation wants from you as you’ll likely be the one to collect and collate that information from program staff. Help them out by giving them plenty of time and a structure within which to collect and organize their part of the work. Let people know exactly what you need and when you need it—preferably a couple of months ahead of time! Send along friendly reminders to check in and offer support. You may even choose to employ a project-management tool in order to keep everyone on track.
Write for the outsider. Craft the proposal with the assumption that funders know nothing about your organization. Include all of the details that reviewers will need in order to understand the project you are proposing, but be mindful to not go overboard with extraneous information or jargon.
Be specific. You have limited space to get your message across. Challenge yourself to cut your first draft in half. This allows you to keep an eye toward brevity and clarity.
Speak to the problem, but focus on solutions. Make sure you include details on how you will use this funding to create a real solution. The foundation should be able to easily understand how this funding will allow your organization to get its work done.
Use stories. Pick one or two stories to show the impact of your work. If possible, include quotes, images, and testimonials to let the voices of those you serve illustrate your impact.
Cutting and pasting. It may save time, but cutting and pasting could cost you the grant. Make sure you are reading each question carefully and answering that specific question.
Changing your program to get the grant. Remember that once you get the grant, you and your coworkers will have to complete the objectives. You will have to do the interim report and funders want to see that you are making strides to accomplishing your goals. Stick with the work for which your organization has passion and expertise.
Incomplete applications. Make sure you have addressed all of the donor requests by thoroughly reviewing the application. Once you’ve written your first draft, share it with a colleague who will be able to find gaps.
Not asking for the appropriate amount. Determine what your project needs to succeed. Don’t ask for a lower number in hopes that it will be your ticket to funding. Grant-giving organizations want to see your program achieve its goals and to know that you have realistic estimates of your financial objectives.
Getting rid of data you may need. Funders need data and statistics to back up the narrative. They want numbers—participants, geographic locations served, and detailed budgets. Try to get in the habit of keeping track of things you may need for future grants.
Check out this list of free grant writing courses and study programs.
The Foundation Center is a reliable resource. It offers a foundation directory along with Form 990s.
The Grant Training Center offers in-person and online training for grant writing support.
Beth’s Blog is a wonderful resource with advice for grant writing and fundraising.
The Center for Nonprofit Resources offers a book list to support your grant writing.

We accept Medicare, Medicaid HMOs, TRICARE® and most commercial plans including HMOs and PPOs. Normal deductible and copays apply. All assessments are provided free of charge.
If my insurance does not cover behavioral health treatment, how can I afford it?
Personal risks and costs associated with untreated behavioral health or substance abuse issues are high. According to a study by the University of Maryland, more than half the patients admitted to general hospitals with behavioral health issues have concurrent medical problems.
If you do not have insurance or it does not cover treatment costs, please call our admissions department at 904-296-3533 so we can help determine the financial resources available to you.
Wekiva Springs offers gender-specific treatment when appropriate. Men and women have different issues that require different treatment approaches. According to the National Women’s Health Report, women face barriers to treatment such as childcare responsibilities and the stigma of being considered weak rather than sick. Women have a clearer pattern of self-medication and are more likely to combine drugs and alcohol.
We also offer unique inpatient and outpatient programs for senior adults with behavioral health or dual diagnosis disorders. This setting is designed as a place where patients can thrive in an age-specific and non-confrontational group of peers.
How do I refer a patient and how can I receive updates on their progress?
Professional referrals can be made 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 904-296-3533 or toll-free at 877-339-6636. Patients may also schedule appointments. Walk-ins are always welcome.
We encourage referring professionals to be an integral part of their patient’s treatment team. At a minimum, we will provide you with clinical updates throughout treatment. We will gladly communicate in a way that is convenient for you.
The care we provide is based on individual needs. While we have basic schedules, each patient receives a customized treatment plan that could affect their length of stay. You will regularly meet your treatment team to discuss your needs and jointly determine the length of stay that is optimal for your recovery.
I do not feel comfortable sharing a room. Are private rooms available?
For your safety, we do not allow patients to have private rooms. As you progress through treatment, it will be important for you to have the support of your peers and support them in return. We take great care in assigning roommates we feel will support each other and enhance the therapeutic process. Only under special circumstances will a private room be made available. Please discuss this with your admissions counselor.

Why is it important and how can an unhelpful culture be identified?
Organisational culture is ‘how we do things round here’. It represents the collective values and beliefs of the people who work in the organisation and is influenced by its history, its primary task, key individuals, management strategy, external constraints and circumstances. It can be observed in how the organisation presents itself and the values behind it can be discerned through the behaviour and attitudes of individuals. Organisational culture runs deep and may not be explicit or even always consciously determined.
Often organisations are adept at ‘doing the right things’, ticking the boxes and setting out their values. What is less obvious is whether the hearts and minds of the people are fully behind the organisation – whether there is alignment around the values and whether the culture is one in which the right sorts of values can flourish and take root. In the NHS we are looking for organisational cultures that put patients first, promote trust, respect and equality and are sufficiently open and transparent such that staff feel able to challenge each other robustly, regardless of status, without fear and are encouraged to come forward when difficulties arise. The recently published report by Sir Robert Francis, following the Freedom to Speak Up Review1, puts organisational culture to the foreground as a key determinant in what creates safe health care systems. He noted specifically the need for a culture of openness and learning where all staff feel able to voice concerns. His evidence showed that the issue of bullying and a coercive culture was a frequent concern for the staff who gave evidence.
Merely stating that the organisation is committed to a set of values along the lines described doesn’t mean that they are the lived experience of the staff and patients. Francis also noted a disparity between espoused policies and the level of support given to staff. Many NHS trusts do have good programmes in place to embed values from board level to front line staff; induction, inset days, staff focus groups, regular communication, staff training and appraisal are all used to impart what the organisation stands for, what it aspires to and what it expects of its staff and these can be evaluated fairly reliably. What we are looking for is an organisational culture where what is explicitly stated tallies with what staff think and feel and that what lies behind the rhetoric is a genuine desire to live out the values rather than simply to pass inspections.
At a surface level it is relatively easy to describe an organisation’s culture and it can be observed overtly in terms of the mission statement and what goes on the website, and more implicitly in the staff behaviours that they explicitly seek to inculcate. At its deeper level however, organisational culture is sometimes difficult to discern and even more difficult to change, precisely because it is hidden and may rely on unspoken rules. Many of these unspoken rules may exist without the conscious knowledge of the membership. Examples of this might be, ‘we don’t tell on our colleagues’; ‘we can’t challenge senior medical staff’, or perhaps there is a mutually understood sense of an in-group and an out-group. Schein describes theses as ‘tacit assumptions’, they are often unconscious and don’t show up in staff surveys or casual conversations, but can de-rail the best rational plans and strategy, they can be the source of paradox, resistance to change and conflict and can result in behaviours such as bullying and harassment, a high level of grievance, unexplained absence and high staff turnover. Francis advocates a zero tolerance approach to bullying. Understanding why bullying is happening – what may be behind it – is also vital.
A significant determinant of such unconscious behaviour is anxiety. Anxieties can stem from concerns about job status, pay, security, all of which affect self-worth. Anxiety is also associated with the particular job that people do, their role – and in the NHS many tasks are complex, difficult and involve intimate contact with patients or involve hearing about distressing things. There are also new requirements to merge and integrate services; this necessitates making new relationship across institutional boundaries and securing agreement in a competitive environment. There are currently unprecedented pressures on the NHS to make savings at the same time as improving services. All such pressures activate the unconscious aspects of organisational culture and irrational behaviour, counter to the values of the organisation, can follow. The implications of the Francis report are that staff need access to mediation, counselling, coaching and mentoring. We would strongly support this with the proviso that individual measures do not detract from the need to consider the cultural/ systemic implications when things go wrong.
Organisations need to be reliable containers for the emotions of their staff members; to create a context in which it is possible for staff to acknowledge the impact that the work is having and to feel listened to when their working situation becomes stressful or at worst, intolerable. They should provide opportunities for staff to feel valued and supported in the work that they do and, particularly for clinicians, promote a context where the complexities of clinical work can be openly grappled with, rather than closing down discussions or seeking premature solutions.
It is a truism that organisational culture starts with the board. A board that models open communication, trust and respect for its members, which pays attention to the quality of its working relationships and values these attributes is likely to promote behaviours that exemplify them in the workforce. Francis also refers to the importance of the involvement of the board of directors being closely involved in monitoring the organisation’s culture, supporting senior managers particularly in handling concerns.
So how can we identify an organisational culture that is likely to promote the values of today’s NHS? Paying attention to the following 5 points can help.
Do employees at all levels know what the values of the organisation are, do they believe in them and believe that the organisation is truly committed rather than just engaging in ‘corporate-speak’? Staff should be able to evidence ways in which values were being expressed in the behaviour of managers and senior staff, team leaders and front line staff. This requires digging down through individual conversations – where there is high degree of distrust and where tacit assumptions prevail, staff are not likely to be open about their fears and anxieties.
Is there a culture of reflective practice? We know that the work that both clinical and non-clinical healthcare staff have to do can have a profound emotional impact at a personal level and a great deal of emotional effort in healthcare goes into managing feelings– one’s own and those of patients and relatives. If staff are not able to give expression to this it can have a seriously detrimental impact. At its mildest staff become overwhelmed and may deal with this by being short tempered or going off sick, at its worst it can find expression in abusive behaviour or turning a blind eye to unacceptable practices. Being encouraged and able to speak about their experience, preferably in a structured way in supervision or in a group can allow staff to understand and contain their own emotional responses. A culture that values reflection practice would prioritise clinical supervision and explicitly support staff at all levels. Senior managers would have coaching available to support them in their roles. Sir Robert Francis stresses the importance of staff having time to explore issues and share good practice. We would suggest that this also includes some opportunity to debrief about the emotional experience of the work.
Is trust evident throughout the organisation from board level to front line staff? This would be demonstrated by staff describing their presentations to the board as open discussions to interested colleagues rather than a ‘grilling’. It would be apparent in team meetings where difficult clinical material can be grappled with collectively, where everyone’s opinion could be heard. Teams will experience their colleagues and managers as supportive, loyal, ‘having their backs’. Individuals would report feeling that their views count and are valued. Trust requires attention paid to the quality of relationships. It should not be acceptable for senior staff to ‘snap’ at junior colleagues. Disciplinary differences need to be understood and respected for true cooperation and collaboration. There is a human tendency to ‘split off’ bad things and associate them with another group/team/race etc. In healthcare splitting off difficult feelings or behaviour and locating them in another group is often a way of dealing with what is complex and challenging about the work. It is as though staff are saying ‘we’re ok, it’s that other team/ hospital where all the poor care happens’. Unless staff can be helped to take a collective responsibility and recognise that we are all part of the health system, patient care will inevitably suffer.
Related to the notion of trust is whether or not it is acceptable to get things wrong and learn from mistakes. It must be ok for staff to say they don’t know something and to be able to ask. This relies on a culture of containment as described above, where staff feel able to give their perspective without fear of looking stupid or not knowing. Do staff feel able to challenge their senior colleagues? If not why not, what is the fear behind this?
Clarity of roles and task. Is the organisational structure one that is designed around the task it is intended to support? Too often team structures have grown up around individual personalities and avoidance of long-standing differences, which makes collaboration and integration of services very difficult. Historic mergers between services (or even whole trusts) that have never been accomplished completely can result in unclear lines of accountability and responsibility. Are staff clear about their role, its limits, their accountability and their responsibilities? Whenever staff do not feel fully authorised in their roles or where there is a lack of clarity they may resort to anxiety-driven behaviour. Staff need to be given honest and direct feedback about the impact of their behaviour on others. This is neither easy to do nor easy to hear and organisations may need help in establishing robust reflexive systems.
It will be evident from the above that while the indications of a culture that can be detrimental or one that could sabotage good intentions may be observed in the behaviour of individuals or from individual narratives, we are talking about a systemic phenomenon. Francis identified the need for a system-wide approach to addressing the issue, including systems of feedback. Unacceptable behaviour, staff burnout, near misses, ‘never incidents’ are symptoms of a cultural failure and should be considered as indicators of such. Of course there may be examples of individual failings at the centre of some tragic cases, but more often than not there is a systemic failure. Staff do not come into the NHS to be negligent, brutal or uncaring to patients. Something happens to some of them, they become inculcated. Identifying the aspects of an organisation’s culture that has the potential to lead harmful behaviour is crucial. What follows from Francis’ recommendations is that NHS organisations are encouraged and supported to develop a reflexive ethos where the nature of ‘how we do things round here’ can be thought about in depth, openly and honestly.

Mission – To seek and understand God’s purpose for us in our marriages. To know that our marriages are not just about us but about God and His plan for His people. To help us understand our roles and responsibilities as husband and wives. To help and encourage married couples in the Lord.
Goal – Our goal is to have active participation from 25% of married couples in our church.
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Head on over to ubuntu and grab an iso. I chose ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso, but by the time you’re reading this there is probably something newer.
Burn the ISO to a USB disk or a DVD if you’re feeling particularly patient.
At this point many guides will recommend you partition your disk with LVM and install your host OS on top of that. That is entirely unnecessary. I recommend you not do that right now unless you’re a super LVM fanboy. It’s just an extra thing to learn and manage and you have more important things to get to. That said, if you only have one disk, then you’ll certainly want to partition your disk with enough space left over for your guest OSes.
When you have completed the wizard and are left staring into the eyes of that dapper bionic beaver, install the universe repository and Xen.
Congratulations, you’re running Xen. Don’t believe me? Run this command to check.
# This command should show Domain-0 with a state of r------ # which I can only assume means... running like a feisty bionic beaver.
Domain-0 or Dom0 is your Xen host.
Domain-U or DomU is a Xen guest.
Before we can get all intrepid with our beaver we need to tweak the network. Xen supports a quantal quetzal of different networking approaches, but bridging is the most popular. In this approach Xen’s internal network will be bridged to the host’s network. Guest OSes will show up as unique hosts (read: unique mac addresses) on your Xen host’s network.
Did you know your maverick bionic beaver replaced ifupdown with netplan? Technically it was her artful friend, but who’s keeping score?
You hipsters can use viif you prefer.
The above snippet will create a new bridge named xenbr0 (preferably pronounced: /zenbrō/) with a static IP address, netmask, gateway and nameserver. All of those fields are important. Apply the changes and validate.
Is your beaver feeling breezy bionic? If not, you may have some other files in /etc/netplan that are conflicting with your setup. Excellent. Proceed.
One of the great features about Xen is that you can over-provision your guests. In other words, if you have 32GB of physical RAM installed in your server, you can assign 32GB of virtual RAM to each of 10 guest OSes. If the guests don’t require the full 32GB they might all live in harmony, but more realistically they will eventually need to fight to the karmic death. So over-provision with care.
That said, the host machine is a parsimonious fellow and defaults to using ALL THE THINGS of memory and doesn’t like it when you start stealing from it to give to your guests. Let’s fix this by limiting his take at boot time.
You can give your host OS more memory, but it doesn’t require much to manage the guests. Save the file, and apply the changes and reboot.
Your Xenbox is primed for launch. Next time we will install a guest VM.

The festival will be held at the end of February and, although the exact dates are still unknown, it will most likely consist of two semifinals and a final.
In the participant list you will see some familiar faces such as former Eurovision participants and composers, backing vocalists, reality TV shows competitors and, of course, some of them have already participated at Beovizija.
As you can see on the list, there are two former ESC participants want to come back to Europe’s biggest stage – Nevena Božović (JESC 2007, ESC 2013) and Extra Nena, the last representative of Yugoslavia.
Saška Janx, two times runner up is also back, as well as Lord, Ivan Kurtić and Lana & Aldo who all participated last year. There are also composers like Vladimir Graić, Aleksandra Milutinović, Linda & Ylva Persson, who are well known in Eurovision circles.
Jana Šušteršić is the winner of Slovenia Got Talent and former EMA participant, Tamara Milanović was the runner up from the first season of X Factor, Nataša & Una are popular radio hosts, Dunja Vujadinović was a backing vocalist in Eurovision on numerous occasions, Osvajači are a popular rock band, Dženan is huge pop star in all exYU countries and there are also a lot of exciting newcomers.
So there’s need to worry as it is obvious that we will have an amazing show, just like it was in its good old days.
Stay tuned as the songs will be published a week prior to the first live show.
Do #YOU have an early favourite? Let us know in comments below!

An assignment means that one is purchasing the 'right' to own a condominium not yet in the Land Registry System. Typically the condo has not been built yet or is not ready for you to move in and the building hasn't been registered. In actual fact the 'right ' is just a paper agreement and not the transfer of the property. The Assginment closes before the condo is registered. After purchasing the 'right', the buyer will at some point in time close and register their ownership of the condominium at a later date.
Assignments have increased with heightened condo sales. With increased sales CRA auditors seem to be targeting the Toronto and Vancouver Real Estate markets in search of buyers who purchased condos before they were built, possibly with the intention of flipping the unit for profit when the project is done.
There are some buyers whose circumstances have changed while waiting for the closing of their property. They have had to sell their new condo and are now suffering with huge tax bills that usually apply to Real Estate venturers.
One Toronto tax lawyer, William House, cautions realtors in a two page bulletin that has been passed on to brokerages, that they too could get caught up in this CRA ploy. He advises agents to be careful on the advice they offer to clients. If you have told a client to sell their condo or new home too quickly after completion of construction, even if it is to use the gains to buy up, clients could come back and sue for advice that is in dispute with the CRA. The Toronto Real Estate Board refused to discuss the matter stating only that the rules are "generally clear on the amount of time one has to occupy a unit ( as a principal residence ) to benefit from a capital gains exemption."
In actual fact, there is not a certain time frame specified by the law. The CRA seems to primarily focus on those who sell their new home or condo less than a year of taking possession. Some tax lawyers are advising their clients that they could be subject to a tax bill of at least 50% of any gains made if they sell before living in their residence for less than 2 months to two years.

Istanbullus (the residents) are bike friendly. Traffic and the city itself are absolutely horrific for bikers. There are a ton of massive hills, cobblestones, amped up taxi drivers, and mean dogs.
Still, every year there seems to be a ton of bikers here- mostly folks biking accross Eurasia or on a specific bike pilgrimmage. They report that the Asian side is a LOT less hilly and easier to bike on, but generally use the city as an opportunity to rest their legs.
If you NEED to bike on your vacation, consider checking out the Princes' Islands, where the only traffic is other bikes and horse carts. This is a pretty famous area for bicycle exploration, and they can easily be rented near the ferry ports.
Which sports events are a must see for travelers?
Do most of the police officers speak English?

The Indian Army launched a 10-day training exercise with 17 African states on 18 March in a bid to expand its military and strategic reach across Africa.
Officials said the inaugural 'Africa-India Filed Training Exercise - 2019' ('AFINDEX-19'), which was conducted at Pune, western India, from 18-27 March, was focused on providing participants with instruction in demining procedures and UN peacekeeping operations.
Officials said India's principal endeavour in 'AFINDEX-19' is to counter China's growing strategic influence across Africa to secure contracts for hydrocarbons and assorted vital minerals.

Fast and flexible, our solutions offer rapid payback and ‘future proof’ your investment.
Single Station machines are generally manual or semi-automatic in operation and require an operator to carry out the majority of Part Loading operations. Single Station machines incorporate ergonomically designed Nest Tooling into which component parts are loaded. Once parts are loaded, the operator initiates the machine cycle at which time required assembly and/or test modules activate to complete the required process. Once finished, a parts marking system is often included to indicate that the assembly is good and has passed all inspections.
Single Station Assembly and Test Machines are a cost effective solution for producing lower volume products efficiently, accurately and error free.
Assembly is one of the major processes in a manufacturing environment, where many pre-fabricated parts are brought together within specified tolerances to produce a product which has some functional value. The need for sophisticated assembly systems that are intelligent and highly flexible has increased over the years and motivated many researchers to develop innovative techniques in implementing such systems. Today’s industry demands more flexibility in assembly automation due to rapid changes in product design imposed by highly competitive global markets. Apart from flexibility, it is also desirable to build systems that can quickly adapt to new product designs and market changes. This fact was stated in an editorial by Dagli (1991) as: Manufacturing systems of the 21st century will demand more flexibility in product design, process planning, scheduling and process control. This may well be achieved through integrated software and hardware architectures that generate current decisions based on information collected from assembly systems, and execute these decisions by converting them into signals transferred through communication networks. Manufacturing technology has not yet reached this state.
In-line assembly machines are used for higher part count assemblies or where space is at a premium. Fully automatic in-line machines allow better access to the machine due its linear configuration. They are also a good option for assembly in-line with molding operations as they use a rectangular footprint which allows placement closer or between molding machines.
Indexing Conveyors – In-line assembly machines are very useful for assemblies of four or more components. They provide more design flexibility and much better operator access than what is practical on a rotary dial version. Systems are available in “over-under” or “carousel” type Indexing Conveyors. Typical speeds for these systems range from 10-30 cycles per minute with conveyor chains being either driven by a mechanical cam drive or servo drive. Similar to the Dial type machine, higher throughputs are achieved by tooling multiple parts and making multiple assemblies per cycle.
Walking Beams – Another style of In-Line Assembly Machine is the Walking Beam. Station Nests on the Walking Beam are in-line and fixed while the Walking Beam mechanism picks and places the main housing of an assembly through the sequential assembly process. Walking Beam style machines provide a cost effective and space saving method of automating assembly and testing functions.
Rotary indexing dials, one of the first machine platforms used for automated assembly, are a very popular platform for many assembly and testing applications. Dial plates are mounted to either cam or servo controlled indexing drives which are tooled or programmed for anywhere from 4 to 16 indexing positions. Station nests or fixtures are equally spaced and mounted to the dial plate at each indexing position while corresponding workstations and tooling are mounted to columns positioned around the periphery of the indexing dial.
Rotary machines are typically limited to small and medium-sized lightweight assemblies requiring relatively low number of operations. Advantages of the rotary indexing dial platform include high productivity with rates up to 60 cycles per minute, high accuracy providing consistent assembly positioning, compact construction requiring minimum floor space, and ease of integration with standardized tooling and modules. If even higher outputs are required, dial machines can be tooled with 2-up station nests and work station modules for production rates of up to 120 parts per minute. While dial machines can be highly productive, ultimate output is however, limited to the slowest required operation.
As with most other machine platforms, the rotary dial machine can be designed to be either fully automatic or semi-automatic. Semi-Automatic indexing machines are best suited for lower volume and/or oddly shaped assemblies where automatic parts feeders would not be cost effective. Semi-automatic versions can also be designed to be upgraded to fully automatic versions once production volumes have increased sufficiently. Fully automatic machines are best suited for higher volume products which would benefit from reduced labor costs. They are also good candidates for being integrated together with injection molding or stamping operations.

Delson Uchôa, Inhabited Painting, 2016.
The piece’s grid-like pattern is a direct index of this surface, but more of Uchôa’s floor can be found on the work, imbedded as a textured residue. De Assis took me around to the “backside” of the painting to see this residue in detail. In the narrow, dimly lit space between drywall and panel I could just make out places where the tile had been lifted.
The process Uchôa employed to make Inhabited Painting is pretty standard for the Brazilian artist, who has worked primarily with painted resin for the past three decades or so. However, the piece does feel a little more grunge than his previous works.
In a video the artist shows the behind-the-scenes process that went into making Inhabited Painting—casting the floor, pouring the wet polymer, peeling back the skin-like sheets, cutting and folding this firm yet malleable material, and cleaning the surface (which he does with soapy water and a dust broom). Each of these steps has a distinctive sensory profile—a particular sight, sound, and texture—and when amassed they create an almost synesthetic buffet.
The experience of Inhabited Painting is an experience of collapse—of the folding in of window, walls, floors, and doors to create an undefined polychromatic cavity in which the viewer can internalize their exterior world through subtle fluctuations in color.
Despite the implied interdependence of the panels in creating this space, you can purchase each piece (distinct in color, opacity, and set of fingerprints) for $40,000 to $80,000, depending on its size.

Last week, I kicked off a new series here on the blog about The Riverwood Way. I shared that the Riverwood Way is our “code” that is underneath the “interface” of our church family. It’s something we set out to live as followers of Jesus as part of this new church family.
We believe the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament point to Jesus, the four Gospels present Jesus, and the New Testament epistles proclaim Jesus. Therefore, we will point to Jesus through our serving, present Jesus in our teaching, and proclaim Jesus through our worship.
At Riverwood, we truly are all about Jesus. We talk about being Jesus-centered. Most every Sunday we celebrate communion “in remembrance of Him.” We sing to Him every week. Our Growth Groups talk about following Him. We aim to make Jesus the center of everything we do at Riverwood.
But why focus on Jesus? Are we denying the Trinity with this over-emphasis on Christ? I don’t think so. Let me give you a couple reasons why we focus so heavily on the Son of God.
In Iowa, many people believe in God. Because of this belief, many would even say they are “Christians.” But if you probe further, many don’t really know Jesus. They know about Him, but He doesn’t occupy a central part of their life. But when someone truly meets Jesus, their life is radically changed. They no longer just believe in God, they have a relationship with their Creator.
Second, because God the Father is pleased with Jesus, and the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to be the Son of God, we want to imitate the Father and Spirit – pointing to Jesus as the only way to the Father, pleased with who He is and what He has done for us through the cross and grave.
This is why Riverwood is all about Jesus. We want to help the spiritually disconnected find Him, to see Him for who He really is. And we want to help all people follow Him, to become like Him in the way they love and live.
So no matter where you are at in your spiritual journey, we want to help you become more Jesus-centered. Because Riverwood – and life – is truly all about and for Him!

It all began a long time ago in 1992 ... a young mum, who was fascinated by the magic performed by her childrens' swimming teacher, was asked to help out at the pool. The young mum became a pool assistant, and one thing led to another ..... Some months later, she found herself on an ASA Teacher course. Many ASA qualifications, and a few years later, she moved to Norfolk and formed her own swim school. JH2O Swim School was born in September 1997. JH2O has grown steadily over the years, with it's founder now leading a team of highly experienced, dedicated teachers and assistants who are very friendly, patient and make learning to swim fun!
At JH2O we are passionate about teaching and our aim is to do the best we can to help you to be the best swimmer you can be. We are proud to be a Swim England registered Swimschool and we follow the Swim England Learn To Swim Pathway swim scheme. Our classes are structured in Swim England's Learn To Swim scheme's "Stages". There are the Duckling and other awards designed for younger children and classes leading to Stage 1 through to Stage 10 awards for older children. Full details of the Swim England Learn To Swim scheme can be found on the link on Swim England's website: www.swimming.org/learntoswim. There is an overview of the awards scheme, it's criteria, aims and objectives, and it highlights what the JH2O team are teaching our pupils in each of the Stages. We also award additional motivational and progress certificates during the term, along with reward stickers, which the children love!
Apart from their ASA/Swim England Swimming Teacher qualifications, our teachers hold additional qualifications in many aquatic disciplines, including: Adult & Child Water Activities, Disabilities, Synchronized Swimming, Aquafit, Coaching and also RLSS Rookie Lifeguard.
Our teachers are DBS checked to an Enhanced Disclosure standard and hold the Royal Lifesaving Society NRASTC (National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches) qualification or RLSS NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) which is updated every two years. We are all IOS (Institute of Swimming) members and are also insured with the IOS.

Sunday evening we found 3 turtles in the yard. There was one excited boy!
Monday we enjoyed the sprinklers outside in the sunshine. He had so much fun. After he was done running through the sprinklers, he decided to use them to wash all his sand toys.
Tball has started as well. He considers it a great practice when he catches one ball :) Love it!
Today "Cat in the Hat" visited Summer Reading at the Library. We've had several fun trips to the park as well. A family camping trip is right around the corner. Summer is in full swing.

Hello and welcome to Easy Wildflowers.
This is a work in progress. It is intended as an Identification guide to the most common wildflowers in the UK. At the time of this update (Christmas 2014) there are only about twenty flowers listed but it is my plan to have this guide working in 2015 and I am trying to make sure that I get the flowers on here before they appear in the field.
I am trying to make finding a flower as easy as possible and so I have arranged them first by colour and then according to size.
When it comes to size there is a problem. Many non-botanists would recognize that a flower head like Hogweed is in fact made up of many small flowers, so a Hogweed is smaller than a Wood Anemone even though the flower head is much bigger but how many people would know that the ray floret of a composite flower like a Dandelion is much smaller than a Buttercup? For now I think that I will treat a flower head as a single flower when I order them on the page.
This is a lovely site. The text is very informative and the photos illustrate it beautifully. I wish you all the very best as you expand it.

TOWSON, Md. –The Towson Tigers will look considerably different in 2018-19 in comparison to their 2017-18 roster.
After an 18-win season, the Tigers will be without their top five scorers heading into the 2018-19 season. Towson lost three players to graduation, and another two players decided to transfer out of the program.
Leading scorer Zane Martin (19.8 ppg) opted to transfer from the team after his sophomore season, as did fellow sophomore Justin Gorham (9.8 ppg, 6.7 rpg). While both players have yet to commit to new programs, it’s unlikely that they’ll be back in a Towson jersey.
Add in the graduation of Brian Starr, Mike Morsell, and Eddie Keith II, and the Tigers lose over 60 points per game of production from their 2017-18 roster (60.6) ppg.
TOWSON, Md. — Teams from across the entire NCAA have come together to help raise funds and awareness for disaster relief efforts all across North America and the World.
The NCAA has granted a plethora of waivers that are allowing teams to take part in a third exhibition game in advance of the 2017-18 season. While they provide teams with an extra tune-up game for the season, they are also using them to help those in need.
On Friday, two more talented programs announced that they were taking part in an exhibition game to raise funds for the Salvation Army Disaster Relief Fund.
The Towson Tigers will play host to the Bucknell Bison on Saturday, October 28th inside SECU Arena.

DRUZHBA, Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukrainian authorities suspect sabotage lay behind explosions that tore through an ammunition depot in the early hours of Tuesday, sending fireballs into the sky and causing more than 12,000 people to be evacuated.
No casualties were reported at the depot, located 176 km (about 110 miles) east of the capital, Kiev. Explosions were happening at a rate of two to three a second at one stage, according to the defense ministry.
Ukraine has in the past pointed the finger at Russia for such types of incidents as relations between the two countries have plunged following Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and support for separatist forces in the Donbass region.
Without providing evidence, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister linked the explosions to a decision pending in Istanbul this week to allow Ukraine to establish an independent national church, which Russia fiercely opposes.
The fact that explosions were set off at intervals in different parts of the depot pointed to sabotage, a defense ministry’s spokesman said.
“Two simultaneous explosions, and after five minutes two more explosions (in another part of the depot) suggest it was military sabotage,” Defence Ministry spokesman Rodion Tymoshenko said at a press briefing.
Hundreds of people and equipment were deployed to the site, a statement by the emergency services said, joined by Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and the head of Ukraine’s armed forces Viktor Muzhenko. President Petro Poroshenko had called for a report.
Several large fires have hit ammunition and weapons depots in recent years, an additional drain on Ukraine’s military. Fighting between Ukrainian troops and Moscow-backed separatist rebels has killed more than 10,000 people since 2014.

The site of 191-193 Whitechapel Road has been an empty frontage for more than half a century, but it and the land behind occupy a place of importance in London’s theatre history. The Pavilion Theatre, in business here for little more than a century (1827 to 1934), was one of Whitechapel’s landmarks. Its arrival was part of the general development of what had been garden ground behind 181–193 Whitechapel Road in the mid 1820s.
It was a dauntingly complex task, as to my (then) untrained eye, it appeared to be an impenetrable forest of heavy timbers, movable platforms and hoisting gear, looking like the combined wreckage of half a dozen windmills! I started by chalking an individual number on every stage joist in an attempt to provide myself with a simple skeleton on which to hang the more complicated details. Richard Southern's explanations enabled me to allocate names to the various pieces of apparatus, correcting my guesses. (‘Stage basement’ for example was, I learned, an imprecise way of naming a space with three distinct levels). He also gave me a brilliant introduction to the workings of a traditional wood stage and to the theatric purposes each part fulfilled.
The attached sketch attempts to give a summary view of the entire substage.
It is set at the first level below the stage, with the proscenium wall at the top and the back wall of the stage house at the bottom. In the terminology of the traditional wood stage, this is the ‘mezzanine’, from which level, all the substage machinery was worked by an army of stage hands. In the centre, the heavily outlined rectangle is the ‘cellar’, deeper by about 7ft below the mezzanine floor. Housed in the cellar are a variety of vertically movable platforms designed to move pieces of scenery and complete set pieces.
It may be observed at this point that not all of this apparatus will have resulted from one build. A wood stage had the great advantage that it could be adapted at short notice by the stage carpenter to meet the demands of a particular production. The substage, as seen, represents a particular moment in its active life.
There are five fast rise or ‘star’ traps for the sudden appearance (or disappearance) of individual performers (clowns, etc) through the stage floor. The three traps nearest to the audience are ‘two post’ traps, rather primitive and capable of causing serious injury to an inexpert user. Upstage of these are two of the more advanced and marginally safer ‘four post’ traps. In both types, the performer stood on a box-like counter-weighted platform with his (usually his) head touching the centre of a ’star' of leather-hinged wood segments. Beefy stage hands pulled suddenly (but with split second timing) on the lines supporting the box, shooting him through the star. In an instant, it closed behind him, leaving no visible aperture in the stage surface.
Farther upstage is a row of ’sloats’, designed to hold scenic flats, to be slid up through the stage floor. Next comes a grave trap which, as the name suggests, can provide a rectangular sinking in the stage (‘Alas, poor Yorick’). Finally, a short bridge and a long bridge, to carry heavy set pieces, with or without chorus members, up through (and, when required, a bit above) the stage. These bridges were operated from whopping great drum and shaft mechanisms on the mezzanine.
In order to get all these vertical movements to pass through the stage, its joists, counter-intuitively, have to span from side to side, the long span rather than the more obvious short span. This makes it possible to have removable sections ‘(sliders’) in the stage floor, which are held level position by paddle levers at the ends. When these are released, the slider drops on to runners on the sides of the joists and are then winched off to left and right.
The survey of the Pavilion stage was important at the time because it seemed to be the first time that anything of the kind had been done, however imperfectly. Since then, we have learned of complete surviving complexes at, for example, Her Majesty’s theatre in London, the Citizens in Glasgow and, most importantly, the Tyne theatre in Newcastle, which has been restored to full working order twice (once after a dreadfully destructive fire) by Dr David Wilmore. Nevertheless, the loss of the archaeological evidence of the Pavilion is much to be regretted..

This stunning Mint Mark collection of Morgan Silver Dollars enables you to own the historic “last year of issue” of these cherished 90% silver coins. You’ll receive a complete 3-coin set of Brillant Uncirculated Morgans minted at the Denver, Philadelphia and San Francisco mints. The Morgan Dollar is the largest U.S. silver coin ever made for circulation and contains over 3/4 ounce of pure silver. Its diameter is almost 1 1/2 inches wide!
Sadly, the U.S. Government melted down more than 50% of all Morgan Silver Dollars to help pay for World War I. After that, millions more were either destroyed, worn out in circulation, or melted down in later years for their precious silver content. Just a fraction of 1921 specimens remain today.
The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty wearing a slave’s cap (an ancient symbol of freedom) with the word “Liberty” inscribed on a ribbon. The reverse features an American eagle holding an olive branch of peace and arrows of war. This hard-to-find mint mark collection comes in a custom display case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Click the button below to add the 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Mint Mark Set - Brilliant Uncirculated to your wish list.

The head, and other body parts, that are being installed on the west shore of Lake Eola Park is the final of the 8 new sculptures downtown is getting as part of the See Art Orlando initiative.
The sculpture, titled ‘The Discovery,’ is by Meg White. This is one of 6 sculptures in the 8 piece series to be placed in Lake Eola Park.
It’s going to be a couple more week until downtown visitors and residents can enjoy the new sculptures though. An unveiling ceremony will take place on November 18, 2013.

Former newspaper adviser Edward Wendell, center, is pictured with MCPL director Sophia Serlis-McPhillips and Comsewogue Public Library director Debbie Engelhardt.
A retired Newfield High School teacher’s forgotten files turned out to be a treasure for Middle Country Public Library.
Edward Wendol donated original issues of The Quadrangle to the library last month in hopes of preserving a unique piece of history. The Quadrangle, the Newfield High School paper, was supervised by Wendol during 1970-76. Wendol kept the papers all these years in a file in his attic, where he admits he forgot about them until he stumbled upon them one day.
During his 27 years with the school district, Wendol worked as an English teacher and volunteered to serve as the adviser to The Quadrangle after having a positive experience at his own high school newspaper.
Wendol, who has served as a trustee on the Comsewogue Public Library board since 1972, Debbie Engelhardt, director of the Comsewogue library, and Sophia Serlis-McPhillips, director of MCPL, met in December at the Middle Country library so Wendol could hand over his original editions of the paper.
Copies of Newfield High School’s The Quadrangle, above, were donated to Middle Country Public Library in December by Edward Wendol.
While the library’s website has a digitized photo collection of the old pictures they’ve received in recent years, this is the first time, in Serlis-McPhillips time at the library at least, that they have been given any type of periodical or newspaper.
With his donation, Wendol’s biggest hope is that past students are able to see their work.
As far as birthdays go, this year’s was an extra special one for Eleanor Davis. The Port Jefferson resident celebrated her 100th birthday last Sunday surrounded by family and friends. A second birthday celebration on a grander scale is planned for May with a three-day trip to Cooperstown with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and more.
Born in Philadelphia on Jan. 6, 1919, Eleanor lived in Mount Holly, New Jersey, until the age of 8 when her father, who was a physician, bought a practice in Floral Park. While visiting a friend in Port Jefferson during the summer of 1944 she met her future husband, Chester “Ritchie” Davis. They eventually settled in the village and raised their three children, Laurie, Patricia and Chester, in a charming historic home on Prospect Street.
I have three claims to fame: I took a parachute jump at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Queens; I’ve been up in the original Goodyear Blimp; and I’m related to Buffalo Bill by marriage (my father’s cousin was married to Buffalo Bill).
Who is your favorite president so far?
Ronald Reagan. He was a very personable person.
What was one of most tragic events in history for you?
The most tragic event to me was the [Nazi] concentration camps but it was also upsetting when the U.S. government took the Japanese and put them in an encampment. They took away their businesses and everything which was a terrible thing to do. The assassination of JFK was sad and the bombing of Pearl Harbor was also a terrible thing. Those boys were all on their ships and they all went down and couldn’t get out.
Do you remember the Great Depression?
Vaguely, but it really didn’t affect my family that much — my husband suffered more with his family. Sometimes they didn’t have enough to eat. His father couldn’t work anymore because he had a very bad heart so his mother baked biscuits and cookies (cakes and pies on order) and the boys peddled it up and down the harbor as far as Poquott.
What technology are you most impressed about? Cell phones? Computers?
Oh, the ones I don’t like! I hate those iPad things and of course the fancy phones — you can do every but make coffee on them! My son is always finding out information for me on them … but I think it’s too bad that nobody talks to anybody anymore but that’s the way of the world these days, you know?
I remember going to the library at the age of eight and getting hooked on Mary Queen of Scots — I’m still hooked on Mary Queen of Scots — she was a fascinating person.
I’ve camped in Ohio, explored caves down in Kentucky and visited Utah and New Orleans. I loved New Orleans. I’ve also been on the QE2 to Scotland twice, the second time to see the Edinburgh Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle.
I’ve always wanted to go to Venice.
My favorite is “Love With the Proper Stranger” with Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood. My daughter loves that film also.
Do you have a favorite actor?
I would have to say Jimmy Stewart. I had two albums (scrapbooks) as a kid. I collected everything I could get on him — every picture, every article that came out. I wish I still had that. I also liked Margaret Sullivan.
What has been your favorite decade so far?
The 1940s. The early ’40s when I was living in New Jersey was the best time of my life. I had a job I liked and I lived with six girls in a boarding house. We paid $12 a week with meals and refrigerator privileges; we could do laundry in the basement — whatever we wanted to do. [The landlady] didn’t care if we had parties or not. The girls were all different and I was always going to write a book about that time but I never did — that was my secret ambition.
What advice would you give to a young person starting out in life?
Well, my favorite expression is, “Go with the flow.” I suppose that’s the easy way out but I’m not much of an arguer. Also to not worry so much. Sometimes people worry about something that isn’t worth a hoot and a holler in the long run. And you have to find humor in things. Everything is funny if you look at it close enough.
More than 400 people crowded onto the Shoreham-Wading River High School soccer field Dec. 15 to race in the first annual Andrew’s Run, but one family especially that crossed the finish line did so to cheers and applause that resounded all across the North Shore community.
John McMorris, the father of 12-year-old Boy Scout Andrew McMorris who died in October, walked and ran with his son’s framed photograph clenched in his hand. As he and Andrew’s mother, Alisa, strolled over the finish line that morning, John stuck up his hands in triumph, knowing it would go to support his son’s memory.
Andrew was going to do his first practice for the middle school cross country team that same day, but his life was ended before he could fulfill that ambition.
The run was brought together through the efforts of 16-year-old Miller Place High School student Danelle Rose, who helped prepare everything from the race’s route across the fields at SWR High School to coordinating with the school and the Strong Island Running Club professional time takers, who donated their services for free to the run.
All the funds are going to support Boy Scout Troop 161 in their effort to build a new 3,200 square foot Adirondack cabin at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp in Wading River, which will be named McMorris Lodge in honor of Andrew. The run raised over $8,000 for the lodge.
Several members of local Boy Scouts, including those from Troop 161 and Troop 204 from Miller Place, ran in the race, some in their full Boy Scout uniforms. While weather forecasts called for rain that Saturday morning, Troop 161 Scoutmaster Matthew Yakaboski said it was a sign that good things may still come from tragedy.
“I think Andrew was shining down on us today,” Yakaboski said.
Entertainer and comedian Bob Nelson has spent more than four decades doing what he loves most — making people laugh by taking them out of their problems and into his world.
“The greatest blessing for me is when people — families — have come up to me at a show and said they’ve been doing my routines together at the dinner table for years, that it’s gotten them through hard times, that it brings back memories of people they’ve lost — there’s no better feeling,” said Nelson in a recent phone interview.
The Massapequa native’s career has taken him from coast to coast, performing with greats including Eddie Murphy, Rosie O’Donnell and Rodney Dangerfield. And while he doesn’t travel as much these days, he’s begun treating Long Islanders to a hilarious, fast-paced monthly show at Theatre Three in Port Jefferson.
Nelson said he’s thrilled to be returning to his comedic roots for this residency, blending observational sketches with his unique portrayal of multiple characters at once. Characters such as the lovable nerd Eppy Epperman, punchy boxer Jiffy Jeff and chicken rancher Wilby Stuckinson aren’t the most politically correct, but they are one of a kind, memorable and hysterically funny.
The development of Nelson’s career was far from linear. In fact, he landed his first comedy gig on a fluke. In his late teens, one of his job responsibilities was fact-checking advertisements in phone books by making cold calls. Nelson sometimes did impressions on the phone to make his co-workers laugh, and during one such call, he impressed a man who was working on opening a new comedy club.
That club, the White House Inn in Massapequa, became Nelson’s first stage.
“The first night I went, I just got the bug for comedy and kept going back,” he said.
Not long after, Nelson changed his major at Nassau Community College from communications to theater, declaring to his family that he planned to make a life of entertaining.
Nelson did more than just make it work — his career has led him to clubs all over the country, he’s acted on stage and in film, and starred in multiple comedy specials on HBO. His most popular special, “Nelson Schmelson,” can be found on YouTube.
Reflecting on his career, Nelson prides himself on delivering clean comedy routines that are appropriate for all ages.
Douglas Quattrock, special events coordinator for Theatre Three, remembers first seeing Bob Nelson perform while watching “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” when he was growing up. He immediately memorized every word of the skit.
With the help of Paul Anthony from the Long Island Comedy Festival, the theater was able to contact Nelson about a performance. That show sold out and feedback from the audience was overwhelmingly positive, leading the theater to invite Nelson for a residency.
Bob Nelson performs monthly, 90-minute shows at the Ronald F. Peierls Theatre on the second stage of Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson. Tickets are $39. The next two performances are Nov. 15 and Dec. 6. The bar is open for refreshments during the show. For information on upcoming performances and to purchase tickets, visit www.theatrethree.com or call 631-928-9100.
Many of the buildings need repairs.
The Bates House in Setauket is gearing up to host a night of intrigue and mystery in order to support a local horse sanctuary in need.
The nonprofit Twin Oaks Horse Sanctuary in Manorville will hold a murder mystery event at the Setauket venue on Sunday, Nov. 11 to raise funds for repairs to a barn roof, among others. The farm shelters close to 30 horses, some of which have suffered from abuse, neglect, injury or simply the ravages of time and age.
Horses range in age, but all were saved from worse fates or were taken in when they had no other place to go. Two Friesian brothers Jan and Attilla were brought into the sanctuary after a period where they were nearly starved, kept in the same barn as a dead horse. Another horse named Journey was brought to the sanctuary after a very difficult childbirth in Pennsylvania. Dealer was brought to the sanctuary by caring riding students after becoming too old to be used for lessons.
The sanctuary, which is run by a group of just three women, is looking to get in front of a number of issues before winter season sets in. A recent storm blew the roof off of one of the barn buildings on site and there is a need for a drainage system to prevent flooding as well as to create new boards for horses to walk on if the rains soften the ground too much.
Several of the horse shelters on site could use renovations, including one that needs to be rebuilt, and the sanctuary is always looking for new wood to reconstruct the pens that some of the larger horses can knock down with only a slight nudge of their huge frames.
The staff take turns alternating between the mornings and evenings, and each in turn is there close to six days a week or more depending on what work is needed. In previous years, when snow storms closed off roads and blanketed their small farm in foot after foot of muddy snow, the volunteers have also slept there to make sure the horses were alright come morning.
Most of the horses are older, around 20 to 30 years old. It means most are past their prime, and they are treated more like members of a retirement community. “With our guys being senior citizens, they really don’t care about moving around too much,” Zalak laughed.
If Zalak and Steinmann had the opportunity and the funds, their dream would be to open the sanctuary to the public, not necessarily for lessons due to the age of most of the horses, but for therapy reasons, where people come to interact with the horses in quiet and peace. Steinmann said she has seen just how much of a calming effect the horses can have on individuals, especially for people experiencing depression or for those with other mental issues.
The Nov. 11 murder mystery event, run by the nationally based Murder Mystery Company, will put local residents into a 1920s-themed scenario in which one person has committed a murder most foul. Titled “Crime and Pun-ishment,” the audience has to figure out who the murderer is before he or she gets away. Participants are encouraged to dress for the occasion in either flapper dresses, zoot suits or whatever attire one thinks is appropriate to the time.
The Bates House is located at 1 Bates Road in Setauket. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and the show will start at 6 p.m. An assortment of Italian food will be served buffet style along with a variety of wines, soft drinks, dessert, coffee and tea. In addition, there will be a silent auction, and a raffle for local artist Dino Rinaldi to personally paint a picture of one winner’s family pet.
Tickets are $35 per person and must be purchased before Oct. 29. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-sold basis and can be purchased at www.twinoakshorsesanctuary.org, by mail at P.O. Box 284, Lake Grove, NY 11755 or by phone at 631-874-4913. If you are mailing a check please write “Murder Mystery Ticket” in the memo. No tickets will be sold at the door.
For further information call 631-689-7054.
Sometimes even a historian gets to enjoy a historic moment in his own life.
Members of the Three Village Historical Society celebrated Beverly Tyler’s 80th birthday Aug. 15, a milestone the historian reached four days before. The society’s main office was fittingly the setting for the celebration as the organization has been a part of Tyler’s life for more than half of his 80 years.
In 1974, when he began to organize a local bicentennial committee in anticipation of July 4, 1976, Tyler said he joined the Three Village Historical Society. He asked Bill Minuse, the society’s president at the time, for seed money, and the members agreed to donate $1,000. During the two years of the committee’s existence, the members worked on projects that included planting Bradford pear trees along Route 25A from the Stony Brook train station to the memorial park in East Setauket and placing a memorial stone in front of St. James R.C. Church. The committee also published the “Three Village Guidebook” written by Howard Klein and illustrated by Patricia Windrow, which provided a summary of the historic neighborhoods in the area.
It was during this bicentennial year that Tyler first wrote for this newspaper, when it was known as The Village Times, to promote the committee. Later, he wrote biweekly history articles for once competitor The Three Village Herald, and after the two papers merged, he became the history columnist in 2002 for The Village Times Herald, as he is to this day.
During his decades with the historical society, Tyler said he has served in many capacities including president, chairman and newsletter editor. He became historian in 2003, when he began working with historical society education director Donna Smith.
A love for local history was instilled early in Tyler’s life — a passion he credits to his family and living in Setauket.
“This was always a community where history was right there in the forefront,” he said.
While the historian’s family tree has deep roots in the Three Village area, Tyler was born in Brooklyn at Methodist Episcopal Hospital in 1938. He said his parents moved back to their family home in Setauket when he was a year old. His father, a violinist, had moved to the city in hopes of finding work as a musician. When his father couldn’t find enough work, the family moved back, and they lived with Tyler’s grandmother until he was 11.
The historian said they soon moved to the family’s house on Main Street across from the post office where his mother lived until her passing in 2016 at 102 years old. After graduating from Setauket Elementary School, when it was open to students from kindergarten through ninth grade, he attended Stony Brook Boys School. He said his grandmother had written a letter to the school administrators when he was 3 or 4 asking them to hold a spot open for him. However, he said he didn’t like the school and then attended Port Jefferson High School for a year. The historian, who has written a number of books, admitted he was a lousy student, who didn’t even like history class because he said it felt like it was just about wars and dates.
During his brief stint at Port Jefferson High School, he played in the school band with his now wife, Barbara, but he said they didn’t know each other well.
Tyler said he eventually attended and graduated from the military school Admiral Farragut Academy in Pine Beach, New Jersey, on the banks of the Toms River in 1957. He started dating Barbara in 1960 after they met once again at the Port Jefferson Yacht Club, where Tyler was running the club’s launch.
Tyler’s military education came into play when he joined the Navy. He served for two years and was a reservist for eight. The quartermaster, who worked on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, said he fell in love with travel while in the armed forces.
His time on the high seas though would soon be replaced with a career in the air. After he graduated from SUNY Farmingdale with an associate degree in photographic technology, and a short stint as a photo chemist for a photography manufacturing company, he decided to get his private and commercial pilot licenses. Tyler said he worked at MacArthur Airport for an air service, and about a year or two later he applied to the Federal Aviation Administration to be an air traffic controller — a job he held from 1968 until he retired Jan. 3, 2002.
Tyler and his wife have two daughters — Jen, who now lives in North Carolina with her husband, and Amy, who runs Amy Tyler School of Dance and Harbor Ballet Theater in Port Jefferson. They also have eight grandchildren.
The historian said he is currently focusing his research on the shipbuilding era, 1844–1880, and the Revolutionary War, especially the Setauket Culper spies. When it comes to his favorite spy, the historian said it’s Caleb Brewster, who carried messages from Benjamin Tallmadge in New York City to the spies on Long Island.
“[Brewster] is self-starting and a risk-taker, and he is fearless and a proven leader who takes care of his men and follows orders well,” Tyler said.
When it comes to reaching the milestone of 80, Tyler has simple advice for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
“Do things you enjoy and enjoy things you do,” he said.
There are 1.3 million active military personnel stationed all around the world according to the U.S. Department of Defense, and while Janet Godfrey and her nonprofit Operation Veronica know they can’t reach all of them, they’ve sure tried to.
The Rocky Point-based organization has worked to ship thousands of boxes filled with food, toiletries, utensils and more to thousands of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen stationed overseas since 2005. Even after all this time Godfrey said she is still amazed just how appreciative the men and women in uniform are after receiving their packages.
“More important than the contents of the box is that the soldiers know people they never met got together and intentionally spent their time, money and effort to send this package to them,” Godfrey said.
Close to 20 women volunteers have met nearly every Friday at St. Anthony’s Church in Rocky Point since the group’s inception, and over its 13-year lifespan, have helped ship over 70,000 items. The boxes have been sent to soldiers in nine different countries as well as several naval ships stationed all over the world.
If volunteers are not busy packing boxes, they are working a sewing machine making neck coolers for the spring months and polar fleece sweaters for winter. Other women are hunkered down creating survival bracelets made from 550 paracord, the same cordage that airborne infantry used making World War II parachutes. Soldiers can find the bracelets useful in the field for making tourniquets or restraints, for storing equipment or to do something as simple as lacing their shoes.
The boxes the group ships are filled with essentials, but the volunteers often add other items at soldiers’ requests. This could be anything from glue traps to deal with vermin problems to flip-flops to aid in walking around without fear of getting dust in their boots.
It’s not cheap to send so many boxes overseas. Using a medium-sized flat-rate United States Postal Service box costs $18 to ship. If the group wishes to send a more irregular-sized box it may cost closer to $30 or $40. The volunteers rely on donations from the local community as well as the support from the American Legion Post 1880, the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary at the Leisure Glen Homeowners Association in Ridge, Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 and the Richard and Mary Morrison Foundation based in Port Jefferson.
“We’re relying on every little penny,” said Irene Stellato, a volunteer from Rocky Point.

Man to man, dad to dad, this was the wisdom my uncle passed on to me a few years ago.
“I do like being capable and in control”, I thought to myself. But something seemed off. Is that it? Is that what bring a Dad is all about?
I think there is another part of the equation that actually demonstrates real strength: be exactly who you are.
Being authentic is what frees you. Your truth is where you actually find strength. When we are real, when we are honest, we are strong.
Authentic is the new strong. Truth is your new super power. If you aren’t feeling confident, that’s okay. If you need help, ask for it. If you are scared of something, say so. You’ll be showing your kids what a good communicator and seeking help looks like. Not only will it free you from unrealistic expectations, you’ll provide your children (boys in particular) with a real man, and a real model to learn from.
An added benefit of showing a little vulnerability, and letting your kids know you are human is that they will do the same with you when they need help. Ever wonder why children clam up and stop talking and wanting to be close to parents…well what is the example being set for them? What is the culture at home? Open, accepting?
Of course we need to engage in age appropriate and otherwise appropriate conversations with our children. But you’d be surprised what can be talked about if you are able to find the confidence and right words.
This “realness” rewards you, not just with some short-lived admiration, but an enduring sense of love and trust from your kids and those around you. And that stuff is the real deal.
So, be real. Be strong. Be you.

Eighty-five (85) two-car diesel multiple units of class 150/2 were built at BREL York during 1986/87. These were operationally similar to the earlier build of class 150/1 with the exception of having gangways throughout enabling them to operate as integral sets with other units of the same class or they could be split into half and used in combination with 150/1's to form three-car units.
On 15th September 2002, No.150202, one of Tyseley's two-car class 150/2 diesel multiple units is seen arriving at Malvern Link Station with the 13:43 from Birmingham New Street to Hereford train. The large tower in the background is part of Malvern Fire Station. The units is in Centro livery. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
In the livery of Anglia Railways (its previous operator) No.150229 arrives at Rowley Regis on a Central Trains/Centro service to Stourbridge Junction. Units Nos.150213, 150217, 150227, 150231, 150235, 150237, 150255 and 150257 were all operated in this livery by Central Trains. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
A close-up view of car No.52213 from two-car class 150/2 diesel multiple unit at Worcester Shrub Hill Station after arriving from Birmingham Snow Hill on 23rd August 2007. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
Having previously been operating as centre cars in the three-car class 1500xx series, No.150216 (on the left) had been re-formed as a two-car set. When the three-car sets were repainted into a later Centro/Network West Midlands livery the centre cars were not given the pretty swirls as seen on No.150122 (on the right) in this photograph taken at Worcester Shrub Hill on 31st January 2008. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
This unusual paring of class 150/1 diesel multiple unit leading a class 150/2 unit was seen at Droitwich Spa on 8th March 2011. The train, which is heading away from the photographer, is the 13:17 from Worcester Shrub Hill to Dorridge. No.150124 is at the front of the train with No.150216 making up the last two cars. This latter unit was another running as centre cars of three-car class 150/0 units when repainted and therefore did not acquire the 'Swirly Stripes' wrap around the cab. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
This photograph was captured using a Nikon 3100 digital with a telephoto lens setting at 330mm and at 1/640 of a second at F5.3. The foreshortening effect of the telephoto lens has produced this highly dramatic image of class 150/2 two-car diesel multiple unit No.150244 with the 15:28 First Great Western service from Warminster to Great Malvern. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith at Abbotswood on 27th May 2011.
Cross Country Trainsclass 170/1 diesel multiple unit No.170105 working the 11.45 Cardiff to Nottingham service (headcode 1M64) was brought to a halt at Abbotswood Junction whilst Great Western Railway's class 150/2 two-car unit No.150234 gained the Birmingham to Bristol main line with the 12.51 service from Great Malvern to Weymouth (headcode 2O90). Photograph taken by Andrew Smith on Thursday 28th January 2016.

I was lucky enough to hear culinary empowerer and former MasterChef NZ contestant Vanessa Baxter tell her story at the Liked Media Women In Business NZ Christmas party in Whangarei recently.
She spoke about how her life was simply one fearlessly-taken opportunity after another.
What a great story she has.
Vanessa lives in Auckland, having lived in Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
She runs cooking classes for kiddies and corporates. She is an ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House, helping resident families there cook healthy meals.
She is super involved with charities, both here and abroad and throws her heart into her work.
The journalist in me couldn’t resist asking her heaps of questions.
But it was her stint on MasterChef NZ that really shot the food lover to fame.
After leaving the show, she said, she wanted so bad to slam the show. Her gut reaction was to use media coverage to blow the lid off the difficult and unnatural experience of MasterChef.
She said that keeping focused on her objectives for media coverage – wanting to grow her business and open new opportunities- allowed her to consider taking a positive approach to media.
Her awareness around her key messages increased and she learned to control the narrative.
And man has that training paid off.
So Vanessa’s one media tip – adjust your attitude from stinky to positive. Anyone can pull off some short-lived, drama coverage but for media longevity – a sustainable media presence – playing a long game with a positive attitude and a pleasant disposition is by far the best way forward.
Vanessa’s career has now evolved, through her wonderful charity work and her ability to reach out and reach people through cooking together.
Because she’s so positive and pleasant to deal with, the media loves her!
This means her charities and affiliations can now benefit from her media profile too.
Adjust your attitude and play the long game!

Beauty standards, when they intersect racism, are something more than shallow aesthetics. The black body, particularly in the European imagination, is othered, and dehumanized. Our skin, the texture of black hair, the shape of bodies and features has been made undesirable. Blackface depends on exaggeration of African-descended features. Saartjie Baartman’s body was presented as a curiosity, and used as a discourse on the primitive strangeness when she was cast in the role as the Hottentot Venus.
There’s a whole slew of products currently that offer to ‘tame’ natural hair and ‘correct’ skin pigments. ‘Lyes’ is a surrealistic, somewhat humorous take on this issue. The protagonist finds herself face to face with the purveyors of the ‘lie’ that that her body is defective. It’s humorous, but there is definitely a sinister undertone.

It is desirable to design buildings with natural daylight and views to the outside, which can maximize passive solar heating, minimize electric lighting use and contribute to feelings of well-being and awareness. Unfortunately, the presence of daylight is not always a positive one. Excessive brightness, strong contrast or intense reflections from daylight can cause visual discomfort or the inability to perform tasks. Typically, the total amount of luminous flux incident upon a surface per unit area–illuminance–present is used to predict visual discomfort due to questions about the benefit and validity of luminance-based analysis measures that are more related to the way the human visual system perceives light. This thesis aims to advance the understanding and usefulness of visual comfort prediction to the point that it can become commonly used in architectural design processes.
One method through which this is achieved is by testing the ability of visual comfort analysis to resolve subjective occupant comfort. It was found that of existing discomfort glare metrics, daylight glare probability (DGP) was the most likely to perform well in a variety of daylight conditions and space types. Furthermore, a long-term simulation and survey study found that between 53.7% and 70.1% of an occupant’s visual satisfaction could be resolved by analyzing DGP, the presence of direct sunlight and predicted monitor contrast ratio. This choice of metrics was reinforced by a separate laboratory study, which found that 74.4% of subjective comfort could be resolved and identified new subjective luminance thresholds that identify likely discomfort. A new adaptive visual comfort model, the ‘adaptive zone,’ is proposed in this thesis to deal with spatiality and view in visual discomfort analysis. Finally, ways of applying these verified and new measures in design processes are tackled in this work by producing new temporal maps, spatial discomfort analysis, and plan-based mappings of long-term visual comfort.

This is a wonderfully easy porridge recipe, it’s so quick to cook and it uses just a few ingredients.
Remove the spine of the apples, then grate them.
Boil the oatmeal with milk or water and put a pinch of salt.
Mix the grated apple with 2 tablespoons of honey and the oatmeal. Add 2.82 oz of blackberries in composition, mix well and serve the remaining portions decorated with blackberries and honey on top.

Home » Events » AWMB Workshop Update!
Earlier this month we hosted our first AWMB Workshop. A tribe of like minded women came together in a safe haven to take some time out from the hectic nature of life to focus on their dreams, aspirations and getting the support of soul sisters to focus on their growth and development.
The day included, engaging discussions, guided meditations, time for personal reflection and journaling, creation of a Vision Board, the leadership of a professional, qualified transformational coach and more importantly the opportunity to kickstart an exciting new chapter in their life with intention, confidence and passion!
We were joined by Tazeen Ahmad, founder of Humanity’s Heart a foundation set up in the aftermath of the refugee crisis to shine a spotlight on the plight of refugees and charity’s supporting them. Tazeen shared her very personal story having left behind a high flying career in the city (Merril Lynch & Bloomberg) to becoming a stay at home mum and what inspired her to set up this incredible foundation.
We cried, we shared, we supported, we were a sisterhood of women coming together for the betterment of our ourselves.
We will have 4 dates in 2019 for you to join us on the same workshop. Keep your eyes peeled!

City Meeting - 80607 Al'bina Kharkov (Ukraine) 45 y.o.
I enjoy being a mistress on the kitchen. Very often I like to experiement new recipes! I can tell you for sure that you will definitely love Ukrainian national dishes prepared by me. I enjoy comfort and coziness at home. To my mind a place where a family lives has to be full of smiles, joy and happiness.
I am an attractive girl from Ukraine who is mature enough to realize that for any woman life without love and happy family is incomplete and senseless. That is why I am here! I know I shall be a calm, attentive, affectionate and devoted partner.
A man I am looking for has to be as well romantic as I am. I want to fill an empty space in his heart. My dream man will be my inspiration, my spirits and hope! Is it you?

The family law changes are not in the best interests of children.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL Philip Ruddock claims the Family Law Amendment (Shared Parental Responsibility) Bill 2005 introduced into Parliament last week unequivocally promotes the best interests of children. As a family lawyer, I beg to differ.
Some of the proposals in the bill appear laudable for reducing the trauma and cost of the adversarial process in our family law system but on scrutiny, grave problems emerge.
First, the bill provides the legislative and philosophical framework for the establishment of 65 new family relationship centres across Australia to help parents agree on parenting arrangements after separation and to develop workable parenting plans. These centres will be funded through the allocation of almost $400 million in the next federal budget over the next four years for new family law services.
It will be compulsory for parents to attend dispute resolution at one of these centres (or a similar service) before issuing legal proceedings unless there is child abuse or family violence. Only a court can grant an exemption if satisfied on "reasonable grounds" that violence or abuse has occurred or may occur.
This is clearly problematic for victims of family violence (mostly women) and for custodial parents (mostly mothers) of children at risk of abuse. No guidelines or criteria are prescribed and it appears that there must be actual violence or abuse before an exemption would be granted. Further, a court would have the power to make a costs order against a party or parent who has falsely alleged violence or child abuse to avoid compulsory dispute resolution. This threat of costs and delay creates another barrier to disclosure, ignores the prevalence of family violence and sanitises the criminality of child abuse.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than one in four women have experienced or are experiencing family violence at the hands of their male intimate partners. In a majority of these cases, children are also subjected or exposed to psychological and/or physical harm. With such prevalence, the new centres must be sensitive to family violence issues and the relevant courts must be protective rather than punitive of children and adults in violent and abusive situations.
The second major problem with the bill is the introduction of a rebuttable statutory presumption of shared equal parental responsibility and parenting time with children after separation. The risks and disadvantages of such a presumption are numerous.
Forcing joint parenting and shared custody upon parents who are in conflict and unco-operative can be harmful to children. Consensual shared custody can certainly work well where parents genuinely choose to co-operate and follow such an arrangement after family breakdown. Those cases by definition do not come to the attention of lawyers or the courts. However, in those cases where there is no agreement it may be more detrimental than beneficial to impose a pattern of parenting and a shared custody regime that did not exist before separation and to which both parties do not commit or agree.
Again, according to the ABS, only 3 per cent of children whose parents have separated live in a shared care arrangement (that is, where each parent cares for the child for at least 30 per cent of the time). The vast majority (97 per cent) live in a sole care arrangement where the resident parent cares for them more than 70 per cent of the time. Most children of separated parents live with their mothers (88 per cent) and these arrangements are primarily entered into by agreement without the intervention of lawyers and court processes.
It is not always in the best interests of a child to spend equal time with each parent for a variety of reasons, not only because of family violence or child abuse.
Research and overseas experience highlight several major risks of imposed joint custody or shared residence. What is called "joint custody" in theory converts into sole maternal custody in practice. Children generally remain with or drift back to their mothers. Where joint custody is formally awarded, mothers receive lesser amounts of child support and smaller shares in property division - leaving them to assume primary care for the children with fewer resources. And fathers formally apply to spend more time with their children (and thus raise their children's expectations) but only as a tactic to ensure paying lower child support and secure a larger share of any property.
These risks and consequences were identified when California introduced a statutory presumption of joint legal and physical custody in 1980. This was repealed in 1989 and joint custody became one of several equally weighted options open to a court determining child custody cases. Evaluations showed that notwithstanding formal joint legal custody, the overwhelming burden of physical care and financial responsibility for the children continued to fall on the mother; women were further disadvantaged and impoverished; joint custody was not working where parents were not communicating and co-operating and children were further destabilised and hurt.
This is a valuable lesson. In addition, we know that many parents (mostly fathers) simply volitionally abandon their children. According to the ABS, 36 per cent of children living with one parent (usually the mother) saw their absent parent (usually the father) once a year or less, or never. This is not because of obstructive custodial mothers but because fathers choose not to seek contact or choose not to exercise contact granted by agreement or by court order.
In its 30 years of operation, the Family Court of Australia has made the best interests of children paramount. This legislation cheapens and devalues this legacy.
Dr Renata Alexander is a family law barrister and a senior lecturer in the law faculty at Monash University.
This is excellent advice. I wish all my clients could read this. It is spot on http://www.naderhasan.com/. Thank you.

Broadband Wireless Access technologies have significant market potential, especially the WiMAX protocol which can deliver data rates of tens of Mbps. Strong demand for high performance WiMAX solutions is forcing designers to seek help from multi-core processors that offer competitive advantages in terms of all performance metrics, such as speed, power and area. Through the provision of a degree of flexibility similar to that of a DSP and performance and power consumption advantages approaching that of an ASIC, coarse-grained dynamically reconfigurable processors are proving to be strong candidates for processing cores used in future high performance multi-core processor systems. This thesis investigates multi-core architectures with a newly emerging dynamically reconfigurable processor – RICA, targeting WiMAX physical layer applications. A novel master-slave multi-core architecture is proposed, using RICA processing cores. A SystemC based simulator, called MRPSIM, is devised to model this multi-core architecture. This simulator provides fast simulation speed and timing accuracy, offers flexible architectural options to configure the multi-core architecture, and enables the analysis and investigation of multi-core architectures. Meanwhile a profiling-driven mapping methodology is developed to partition the WiMAX application into multiple tasks as well as schedule and map these tasks onto the multi-core architecture, aiming to reduce the overall system execution time. Both the MRPSIM simulator and the mapping methodology are seamlessly integrated with the existing RICA tool flow. Based on the proposed master-slave multi-core architecture, a series of diverse homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core solutions are designed for different fixed WiMAX physical layer profiles. Implemented in ANSI C and executed on the MRPSIM simulator, these multi-core solutions contain different numbers of cores, combine various memory architectures and task partitioning schemes, and deliver high throughputs at relatively low area costs. Meanwhile a design space exploration methodology is developed to search the design space for multi-core systems to find suitable solutions under certain system constraints. Finally, laying a foundation for future multithreading exploration on the proposed multi-core architecture, this thesis investigates the porting of a real-time operating system – Micro C/OS-II to a single RICA processor. A multitasking version of WiMAX is implemented on a single RICA processor with the operating system support.

We tend to think of Illinois as very flat, but bike riders and joggers know that our landscape has many subtle hills, ridges, and long uphill slopes. From a satellite or the space shuttle high above the earth, large broad ridges can be seen that arc across northeastern Illinois. These ridges, left behind when the last Ice Age glaciers melted away, are called end moraines; they formed between about 25,000 and 14,000 years ago during the Wisconsin glacial episode. Although these ridges are easy to see from space, they are so broad and rounded you may sometimes overlook them when you drive across Illinois.
How do end moraines form?
Melting at a glacier margin causes the ice to thin, and ground-up rock debris carried in the base of the ice or dragged along beneath the glacier is deposited. When the ice margin remains in the same place for a relatively long time (tens to hundreds of years), enough debris flows to the glacier's leading edge and piles up to form a large end moraine on the landscape.
What are end moraines made of?
The unsorted mixture of debris deposited by a glacier is called till. Most end moraines in Illinois are thick ridges of till. A ground moraine, the relatively flat, low-lying landscape across which the melting glacier retreated, consists of a thinner layer of till. Sheetlike deposits of sand and gravel, called outwash plains, were left behind by meltwater streams flowing away from the glacier.
During the Wisconsin glacial episode, a vast sheet of ice formed over most of Canada. Glaciers flowed away from the center of the ice sheet. The glacier that flowed through the Lake Michigan basin and into northeastern Illinois reached its southernmost extent at Shelbyville about 20,000 years ago.
The glacier did not just flow into Illinois and then gradually melt away. Its overall retreat was interrupted by many pauses during which moraines formed. Most of the more than 30 end moraines in Illinois (shown as dark arcs on the map) formed as the glacial lobe was "retreating" from its southernmost position. At times during the overall retreat, the ice temporarily readvanced, sometimes as much as 50 miles.
Even as the lobe was retreating, however, the glacier continued to flow toward its outer margin, delivering ice and debris to its leading edge. Large moraines mark positions where the ice margin remained in the same place for hundreds of years.
Moraine View State Recreation Area sits atop the Bloomington moraine, one of the four largest moraines in Illinois. This moraine arcs southwestward from north of DeKalb to Peoria, and then southeastward through Bloomington to Saybrook. The park area was chosen for its scenic, upland landscape and was named for the fine views it offers of the surrounding area.
Try to spot end moraines the next time you take a drive drive. Their rounded crests form the highest parts of the landscape. Radio and TV towers are commonly located atop these moraine ridges.

We believe in giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate, so we currently donate a significant proportion of our profits to various charities.
Specifically, one of the causes that is close to our heart is helping to provide accessible clean water to less fortunate people in developing countries through the OurWishingWell "Water Well" program.
In the same way that people use our system as a "Wishing Well" to provide gifts to loved ones, we direct a large percentage of our profits to charities like our "Water Well" program that builds water wells for people in developing countries.
People all around the world require water, which many of us take for granted, but in developing countries many people don't not have easy access to clean water that they require to survive. By building water wells for communities in developing countries, we are helping people to gain access to water which can have a significant impact on the daily lives of many people.
We also support a number of other charities, but if you would like to make a direct donation to our "Water Well" program then please contact us.

Away from the lively tourist crowds of Munnar, the rusting bridge over the dam ushers one into a sinuous journey of an ever contrasting topography of sunny tea gardens and shadowy cardamom plantations till the road gets narrower and the habitation sparse. Almost carefully tucked away from the road is this homestay, a welcoming venture by three friends â Anees, Sajan & Jins. With a credible hospitality experience for years, the trio and their families are now running this charming homestay for the last two years.

The Storm Knights, abbreviated SA (Amrothian for "Knights Of The Storm" or "Knights Of The Flash" or " Lightning Assault", usually translated as "StormKnights"), functioned as a Commanding Marshelling force of the Revolting Forces of Prince Ial Of Dol Aoth in his attempts to overthrow his father , King Darion Of Mordor. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler"s rise to power in the 910"s and 920"s Of The Dol Aoth(renamed by the forces of Prince Knight Ial of Dol Aoth upon the capture of Dol Amroth)Calender.
Storm Knight men were often called "Pale Nazguls" for the colour of their skins (its commanding forces being humans) and the fact they rode similar mounts to the Nazgul forces; this distinguished them from the Blood Guards who they preceded as the guards of Dol Aoth (BG), who wore Red and Gold Hauberks (similar to Imral Of Dol Amroth"s Imperium Of Knights). Nazgul Mounts were chosen despite there large prices in men to tame , as the storm knights were founded on Mount Nazgul , by a orc Nazgul man who allied himself with the Prince Ial , althought he died in the battle to take Dol Amroth , leaving the Prince to succeed him , his order lived on.
If you wish to apply please enter in this in your application.

An upcoming UN plan for addressing the unprecedented global refugee crisis could be a game-changer if governments back it up with concrete and long-term commitments, said Amnesty International today.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will publish a report on Monday proposing a “Global Compact on responsibility-sharing” to create a more predictable and equitable way of responding to large movements of refugees. As part of the “Global Compact”, the UN will also call on governments to resettle at least 10% of the global refugee population (which currently stands at 19.5 million) annually.
“The UN plan could be a game-changer if it manages to deliver a clear, coordinated system that will ensure that the world’s wealthiest and most powerful countries pull their weight and collectively protect people fleeing war and persecution.
“But its success will hinge on governments agreeing a permanent system for sharing the responsibility to host and assist refugees ahead of the UN Refugee Summit in September. The ball is in their court.
“World leaders cannot go on lurching from crisis to crisis, haggling over numbers and fiddling while parts of the world burn, leaving developing countries to host 86% of the world’s refugees.

What is the advantage of searching for people over the entire route?
How do I cancel my account and what happens to my personal data if I do so?
What are the restrictions of this site?
How long in advance should I publish my route?
How much does Carpling get involved?
Is it safe to share a car with someone I don't know?
Why do I have to register to get in touch with other users?
Pre-set options and trip directory.
Carpling is an Internet site that allows you to meet new people in order to share similar routes and, at the same time, save gas, reduce traffic and pollution.
It incorporates an advanced search engine that shows you only the information that you need. It is, possibly, the most advanced search engine of it's kind (06/2011) as it not only searches for matches in the origin and destination, but also throughout the whole route, largely increasing your chances of finding someone to share your trip with.
If you drive, you can pick up people along the way. If you're a passenger and you're in another driver's route, you can ask to join him. It can be done for short distances as well as longer ones.
Carpling comes from the Anglo-Saxon terminology "carpooling" that means "gathering in a car" and sharing it. The goal is to make cities more sustainable and making a responsible use of energy (oil).
By widening the search area, the possibilities of finding trip partners will increase. Thus, you will have several options of partners to choose from and you can also choose the route that suits your needs best.
For instance, if you're landing in an airport that is considerably far from your final destination, the chances of finding someone with whom to share a taxi or someone who is going to the same place are quite slim. However, if you can drop someone off along the way or if you're on someone's itinerary, the chances of finding a partner increase. Sharing a taxi at the airport is not only a way to save money but also to save time, something that is very important specially if you're travelling for business.
Furthermore, if the route that Google® offers you isn't what you really need, you can change it as you wish. The search engine will take these changes in consideration when it shows you possible partners.
Remember that the indicated schedules are based on normal traffic conditions and always on the speed limits allowed by the Law. If you believe that there will be more traffic than usual on your itinerary or that you're going to travel at a speed that isn't recommended or established, the time estimates might change. In order to acknowledge this possibility, you can increase the margin of time in your schedule.
Cancelling your account is just as easy as creating it. At the bottom of the page you can find the "delete account" link that you should be able to see if you've accessed the site using your account. Once you've sent us the cancellation request, we'll reply with an email where you'll find a link to confirm you want to cancel your access to Carpling.
Once you've confirmed the cancellation, all your data will be deleted from our database and will not be retrievable.
In order to prevent an abusive use of Carpling's resources, the number of daily searches has been limited to 30. The number of routes is also limited to five per user. Carplig.com is free to apply other restrictions in order to guarantee an efficient service for its users.
Carpling was created to satisfy the needs that modern life imposes on every citizen. We believe that the establishment and development of this project contributes to more sustainable cities, to reduce traffic, to lessen the need for gas, to decrease pollution, to saving money and also… to meet new people!
With enough time to get to the meeting point where you'll pick up or join your travelling partner. As the search engine shows you the best results immediately, there is no need of wasting time analyzing all the options.
Carpling is the meeting point of travellers, putting in contact people whose routes can be shared. However, it isn't an intermediary or an organizer of these routes. Carpling moderates the comments that are made by the users on their experiences. Furthermore, it allows the users to block or to show their data to others when they do their searches.
As anything you do for the first time, sharing a car with a stranger isn't absolutely free of danger. However, there are many mechanisms nowadays that allow users to confirm the identity of the people that contact them or that they contact through Carpling. Through social networks it is very easy to verify and confirm who they are, and possibly you'll have friends in common or maybe you'll already know each other :-).
The main reason why we only show your data to people who find you in their searches and that are registered and willing to show who they are, is your safety and privacy. You need to be registered with a valid email account to be able to get in touch with other users. Thus, if there is any abusive behaviour, Carpling can take adequate measures in order to guarantee the quality of the service.
We put a trip directory at your disposal so you can quickly and easily access a specific trip you take often.
Use social networks to meet the people before you make a trip.
If you publish your phone number and a photo you'll have more chances of someone getting in touch with you as you'll inspire more trust.
Be respectful and cordial, don't be late and don't do anything you wouldn't want done to you. Respect the rules of the vehicle's owner. If the vehicle is yours, let the passengers know about your rules.
When you publish a route it isn't necessary to indicate the exact address, you can indicate a nearby reference. This way you don't have to tell your travelling partner where you live and it can be more convenient to them as well.
You can use "Street View" to become familiar with the meeting point.
Don't forget to follow all traffic rules. Use the seatbelt, don't drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs and don't exceed speed limits. Remember that it is forbidden to travel with luggage on the back seat.
Below you will find a detailed explanation of all the fields and functions that are incorporated in this search engine. You can use this explanation as a reference in case you have any doubts.
1. For a visiting user that isn't registered or hasn't accessed the system.
"From" Field: origin of the route.
"To" Field: destination of the route.
"Show this route on the map" Icon: shows the route in the map that appears on the screen. If this isn't the route that you want, you can change it as you wish by dragging the line through the itinerary that you want to follow.
"Offering" Field shows four options: you can be the driver and, therefore, search for passengers that will go with you; you can be the passenger and search for drivers that will take you; you can sometimes be the driver and sometimes the passenger; or maybe you're just looking for someone to share a taxi or another kind of public transportation.
"When" Field: If you're taking this route daily, indicate this option ("daily"); in which days you're travelling and if it's just a one-way trip or if you wish to share the return trip as well. If the trip is repeated every week, for instance from Monday to Thursday or from Monday to Friday, because you're working away from home, choose de "weekly" option and indicate the date of departure and the date of return. If it's a one time only trip, choose this option ("one time only") and select the dates of departure and of return if that's the case. Use the option "in the next…" to indicate that you're starting the trip from the moment you publish your route until the selected limit.
"Route of" Field: indicate if it is a one-way trip or if you wish to publish the return.
"Days of travel" Field: if in the "When" field you chose the option "daily", this field will allow you to select on which days you want to share the trip.
"Date of departure" Field: if in the "When" field you chose the option "one time only", you should indicate the date in this field.
"Date of return" Field: if in the "Route of" you chose the option of "departure and return", indicate here the date of return.
"Time of departure" Field: hours, minutes, and departure margin of the departure trip. The margin can be given in minutes, hours and days. However, the selected option in the "When" field and days of departure has a priority over the selected margin. For instance, for a daily trip that you do Monday and Tuesday, a margin of 4 days will not be considered and only these two entire days will be included.
"Time of return" Field: it works exactly like the time of departure and it applies to the time in which the return trip starts.
"Show matches in origin/destination" Icon: shows if there are possible partners whose trip matches in origin and destination. It does not show the information of the user in case there is a match found. Furthermore, it will only be shown to one partner, even if there are more.
"Show matches through the entire route" Icon: this will only appear if you access the system with your account.
2. For a registered user that has accessed the system with his or her email and password.
"Name your route" Field: as you can save several routes, you have to give each a name in order to identify them. This name will also be used to indicate in which of your routes another user might be interested in, when he or she contacts you.
"I Offer / I Need" Field: you can specify the number of vacant seats you have and whether you allow any luggage in this route.
"Value" Field: you can specify what kind of contribution you want or you'll give for this route.
"Notes" Field: if there is anything you want other users that find you in their search to know, you can write it here.
"Public / Private" Field: this option allows you to temporarily deactivate a route so that no one can find it in their searches and, therefore, contact you. Choose "public" so people can find you. The "private" option allows you to search but other users won't be able to find you.
"Save route" Icon: to save a new route or the changes made to an existing one.
"Save and search" Icon: saves and searches with the given information. The results will be shown on the map. The map will show a maximum of 4 matches. If there are more matches, a message will appear so that you can view other matches in "my routes".
This file is purely informative; it shows you the saved routes and allows you to access the details of possible travel partners through the link "possible partners where found". By clicking on this link you'll see a list of possible travel partners and their routes' details.
When some contacts you or when you contact someone, this user automatically joins your contact list and vice-versa. Later you will be able to evaluate your experience with this user, as well as rate it. This evaluation is bound to the review of a moderator in order to avoid inappropriate content. Other users will be able to view this evaluation and rating when you appear as a result of their searches. A positive evaluation always increases the possibilities of being contacted, so don't forget to be punctual and cordial when sharing a route.
"Comments" Field: here, you can describe your experience of sharing a route with a particular user.
"Rate" Field: here, you can give a rating from 1 to 10 to the experience of sharing a route with that user.

2. I know your works, your difficulties and your patient suffering. I know you cannot tolerate evildoers but have tested those who call themselves apostles and have proved them to be liars.
3. You have persevered and have suffered for my name without losing heart.
4. Nevertheless, I have this complaint against you: you have lost your first love.
5. Remember from where you have fallen and repent, and do what you used to do before. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place; this I will do, unless you repent.
6. Yet it is in your favor that you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7. Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the Churches: To the victor I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in God's Paradise."
9. I know your trials and your poverty: you are rich indeed. I know how you are slandered by those who pretend to be Jews but are not, for they are, in fact, the synagogue of Satan.
10. Do not be afraid of what will happen to you. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you and there will be ten days of trials. Remain faithful even to death and I will give you the crown of life.
11. Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the Churches: The victor has nothing to fear from the second death."
13. I know where you live, where Satan's throne is, but you cling firmly to my name; you have not renounced me, not even in the days when Antipas, my faithful witness, was killed in your place, where Satan lives.
14. Nevertheless, I have a few complaints against you: Some among you hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to make the Israelites stumble by eating food sacrificed to idols and comitting adultery.
15. Also, among you some follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16. Therefore, repent; if not, I will come to you soon to attack these people with the sword of my mouth.
17. Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the Churches: To the victor I will give the hidden manna. And I will also give a white stone with a new name written on it which no one knows except the one who receives it."
18. Write this to the angel of the Church in Thyatira, "Thus says the Son of God whose eyes are like flames of fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
19. I know your works: your love, faith, service, patient endurance and your later works, greater than the first.
20. Nevertheless, I have a complaint against you: you tolerate your Jezebel, this woman who calls herself a prophetess and is deceiving my servants; she teaches them prostitution and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
21. I have given her time to repent but she is unwilling to leave her prostitution.
22. So I am going to throw her onto a bed and inflict severe trials on her partners in adultery unless they repent of their evil.
23. I will strike her children dead and all the Churches will know that I am he who probes the heart and mind; I will give each of you what your conduct deserves.
25. only hold on to what you have, until I come.
27. to rule them with an iron rod and shatter them like earthen pots; he will be like me, who received this power from my Father.
28. Moreover, I will give him the Morning Star.
29. Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the Churches."

CHILDREN OF GOD Now Available!
The Kindle edition of CHILDREN OF GOD, which I authored with Jonathan Moon, is now available!
For three long years, the Family of God awaited the end of the world in a California desert. In 2008, the cult destroyed itself in mass suicide and final massacre. Plagued by guilt and PTSD, the survivors couldn’t talk about their experience until a psychiatrist treated them with poetry therapy.
Ranging in form from haiku to sonnets, this collection is their stories in verse, expressing hope, love, faith, regret, and pain. In these apocalyptic dreams, the survivors find their voice and finally tell why they joined the cult, what they hoped to achieve, how they failed, and the night of the massacre.
Creepy, emotionally deep, and unsettling, CHILDREN OF GOD is the story of a failed cult told through poetry.

It goes without saying that if you'd like to create money on kindle, you have to research your contest. It's pretty cool that now you can get software to do a number of this work!
Could Kindle Spy assist you with your book research? Is it worth the money?
Mini Review: This really is an fantastic tool for helping you find low-competition markets & keywords for the upcoming ebook -- and SPY in your competition! It's simple to use and vital for research!
If you're wanting to succeed in self-publishing online, this may be your secret weapon.
Like having a niche website, you will need to choose your ebook niche.
If you put out a book where no one is buying in that area, obviously you wont get any sales and it'll soon be a waste of your energy!
Publish a novel in a niche that swamped and is competitive, you're going to fight too.
Having applications that will assist you research the market, turns something which is like a chore, into something easy and enjoyable.
The best bit about Kindle Spy: you have to snoop on your competitors and see exactly how many books they're selling and how much money they're bringing in out of their books.
I was continuously shocked when I started using this particular software -- because I did not expect to find authors making money!
On the flip side, some novels are bringing in zero profit, so it pays to do your own research -- that this software saves hours!
Just how do you employ kindle spy?
Spy is still a neat little software that sits on your toolbar and is readily accessible.
1)) to find data about the best sellers in a specific niche.
As an instance, I would goto the "love" section, then to "best sellers." I'd click in my spy icon and it starts to pullup data.
At the bottom of your spy, there is additionally a traffic light system that'll give ranks income potential and the niche is.
So, we are able to see in the above example, (checkout the green arrows) that romance is both popular and has good earning potential, (just two green lights showing) but it is also tremendously competitive, (red light).
What would be the titles like?
What is the average sales rank in Amazon for the sellers within this specific niche?
Reviews do the sellers have?
We'll be able to weigh up whether it would be worth our while wanting to compete within the niche.
Lets say we're looking at a niche that is very popular. The most effective authors might be making hundreds of thousands of dollars every month.
But though we conclude that there's minimal chance we are able to compete in a niche at this time, we might choose to choose it anyway if we have a good marketing strategy for our book.
Should you click on the "word cloud" tag at the top right hand side of this program, in addition, it lists some key words which are coming frequently and also this can give you a few ideas in what potential topics and key words to target.
2) Another way I love to use kindle spy would be always to actually spy on particular writers.
It's possible to check that of their novels are making the money and find some thing out of that data are books that are certain more famous than many others?
Is just a topic currently making sales? Are certain key words making earnings? ...and so on!
At the aforementioned case, I'm taking a look at one particular children's book author.
As you can see, (in the section I Have emphasized yellow) one chief books there is certainly making a majority of her earnings.
The publication under consideration is truly about valentines day -- As it's now late January, it can be it's proximity to Valentines day which accounts for all those sales within the last 1 month.
This could tell me writing books around peak times annually, (Halloween, Easter, Christmas and so on...) could possibly be quite profitable from the youngsters ' book niche.
Her next most profitable book is about a princess, and maybe I'd want to go out additional princess related books and see the way they're doing too.... You have the idea!
3) I use it to have a look at a certain keyword I'm thinking of targeting.
Looking further, I can see that it's a key word with a moderate level of popularity, potential and rivalry throughout the board, (view the 3 yellow circles at the bottom of the kindle spy window).
Since I'm probably looking for a superior level of popularity and potential, I might choose to target a keyword.
Although, it is possible to view they're selling a fantastic amount without a enormous number of reviews.
One book that's made over $6,000 in earnings only has 17 reviews and so you may choose to dig into the author profile.
You inspect the book length, to be able to determine whether it's a niche you believe that can compete in and could check the inside of the book.
User friendly: Kindle spy is incredibly simple to use, you can access data very fast and economically plus it really makes researching niches fun and simple to accomplish.
Spy on your competition: it is an excellent in order to spy individual authors and really get a feel for exactly what type of novels might be profitable and worth targeting.
Multi dimensional tool: There are many methods you may explore competition, niches and keywords and so it's not just a one dimensional tool, there is a variety of data you can analyse.
Accessibility/Ease of use: Kindle spy is reachable, as it sits neatly onto your toolbar, thus there's a good ease of usage.
Minor Learning Curve: The program takes a bit of getting used to at first I'd have to click for data in sections where there was no data out there. I have used to it quickly yet.
Occasionally No Statistics: Infrequently, it can also pull no data as it should do -- for me personally, frequently appearing from the program or refreshing the webpage and beginning can help.
Ultimately, making sure you watch the spy video first and you will not have a problems.
It provides you with a lot of data at the click of a button, is a breeze to use and is fantastic value too.
It's going to save a ridiculous amount of time researching markets and analysing rivalry and, a incentive is, it's really enjoyable to use.
You may wind up spending hours about it, simply because it's exciting to find out what niches are selling and based about what several of those successful authors are now making!
Eventually, using Kindle Spy ailing give you the very best chance of selling your novels, by choosing the right niche and you'll have a massive advantage over your rivals.
If youhave already begun, or're considering becoming in to Kindle printing, I recommend you check this out.

This is the (also) musical sequel to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Brad and Janet appear on a reality TV show that threatens to commit him and corrupt her.
I love Shock Treatment. Tonight, when I go to see Rocky Horror Picture Show, as a I frequently do Saturday nights, I will most likely get into yet another argument witht he Rocky fans who don't appreciate it. It happens every week.
My favorite was when a guy compared changing the cast to Robin Williams' absence in Return of Jafar.
I can easily understand how the movie could hit all the right points and be a classic to someone else, but it did not entertain me. It did get better after repeat viewings, but never really clicked for me.
I have, gratefully, never seen "Return of Jafar."
I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Shock Treatment is insufferable. And I think I know the reasons: when RHPS was made, no one expected the audience participation cult that would arise. This one was made after that fact, and they tried to intentionally make a movie that would repeat that phenomenon. So, ST was designed to have audience participation, that is, leaving blank spaces for the public to insert their wisecracks, and keeping plot to a historical minimum. The resulting stinker only proves that you just can't manufacture a cult movie.
I like the opening of Shock treatment where evryone sings Denton and Brad is commited on T.V.
I've wondered about the film, but have never been interested enough to check it out. I really enjoy Rocky Horror.
My thoughts exactly. Love or hate The Rocky Horror Picture Show you have to admit it has a genuine effort to entertain behind it, and the cult status it achieved and the audience participation was completely unexpected. Shock Treatment comes across as having been concocted by a couple guys at a card table saying, "and when this happens in the movie, the audience can do this, and then when this happens, they can do this." ALthough it's been about 12 years since I last saw RHPS, certain scenes stand out, many tunes stay with me, and I still get the urge to throw a roll of toilet paper when somebody says "Great Scott!" Nothing with Shock Treatment--just plain awful (sorry, quabrot).
Say what you will, I think this flick is pretty awesome. I first saw it in 1988 and hated it, but subsequent viewings made me appreciate the movie. It's interesting how Richard O'Brien prefigured the whole reality as entertainment movement of the new millenium. The songs, while not as memorable as the ones in RHPS, are still good. "b***hin' In The Kitchen", "Me Of Me", "Look What I Did To My Id" and , of course, the title track, "Shock Treatment" are the best". Overall, ST is alot of fun if you give it a chance. The best way to view this flick is just to sit back and let it happen.
While I'm also a major, major Rocky Horror fan, I *love* Shock Treatment! It's nowhere near as bad as you make it sound. It just tends to throw people off that it's a totally different style of movie than RHPS, but that's not necessarily a bad thing; it's its own unique entity.
I think that all of the problems with this film is studio involvement - as someone said before - trying to manufacture a cult film.
Did you know that the studio released it for midnight showings only from day one and hired people to act it out in the theater a la Rocky Horror.....like they were priming the pump, so to speak?
But I think that under all the extra songs and crap that the studio pushed for, Richard O'Brien created a new Network. Only this time for reality TV of today. Television (owned and overseen by the big-business "monopoly" that is Farley) manages to talk the entire population of Denton into voluntarily committing themselves to an institution run by a quack. Only the "weird" people see through it and escape.
Look at all of the shows we have now of people being filmed 24/7 and people being "psychoanalyzed" over the air (from Oprah with her new age stuff to Dr. Phil...who I think has his Doctorate in Physical Education...or maybe that's Dr. Laura) and then go back and look at this movie again. O'Brien was ahead of his time, IMHO.
Then again, maybe that's why the studio screwed with it....to keep that message from getting out.
I was a major "Rocky" geek in college but I've only seen "Shock Treatment" once and that was YEARS ago. I vaguely remember enjoying it to some degree but being disappointed that "Brad" and "Janet" were played by different actors. The only cast member I recognized was Richard O'Brien.
I've often thought about revisiting it one of these days but have never gotten around to it.
It's not great, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as the haters say. It's confusing, has obvious script problems, and tries to throw too many characters trying way too hard to be quirky at you. But, it's never boring, which counts for something. I didn't hate it but I doubt I'll be popping it in the DVD player again.
Richard O'Brien, on the other hand, basically disowned the movie and wants nothing to do with it. He even refused to be interviewed for the DVD featurette.

“Jim did very well with the whole deal. He was very knowledgeable and patient with me.” - Todd and Connie M.
“Jim Fittante was AMAZING and I’d recommend him to anyone I know about to buy a house. Working with Jim Fittante was great and having his help and support the entire way through the process and his confidence and reassurance that things were fine and going to be okay and that he could work things out. Inlanta was way better at working through things with me and talking through and discussing options.” - Bryan W.
“Jim cared enough to go above and beyond. It was greatly appreciated.” - Dianne F.

“Jim Fittante went above and beyond for us on our second home purchase. He did a great job, and I will definitely contact him for all my mortgage needs.” – Michael S.
“We have worked with Jim Fittante on the two homes we have purchased. I cannot say enough on how wonderfully he met all our needs, explained everything and handled all the speed bumps that came with home buying. On our second transaction, we encountered many snags from third parties. Jim handled everything with professionalism and a great sense of urgency. I had requested an earlier closing date, as I was commuting out kids to their new schools (four hours per day). Jim was thrown hurdle after hurdle in getting us to close on time, including unresponsive insurance agents and demanding underwriters, all with Realtors demanding frequent updates. He took care of everything and made my hectic life infinitely less stressful. We closed on the date I had requested, a whole week earlier than we thought possible!

I cannot imagine purchasing a home without the exceptional services Jim and the Inlanta Team provide.” - Deborah S.

did anybody try VSC 7.1 with vSphere 6.7 yet? I deployed the VSC appliance, it successfully registered to vCenter as shown in VSC maintenance screen and in vcenter/mob extensionManager, but its icon does not appear in vCenter nor is it displayed in the client plugins list in vCenter 6.7.
I already tried it using different browsers and rebooted the vCenter VCSA 6.7.
VSC 7.1 is not compatible with vsphere 6.7.
Please keep us updated. This is the only thing holding us back from upgrading today.
Is there a release date? We have a new environment already set up with vSphere 6.7 and are now finding out VSC is not compatible.
Is it worth waiting? Or do we need to downgrade to 6.5?
We are working on the plan to release it possibly in next release.
I will pass on the message of your need.
Please let me know the reason to move to vSphere 6.7? Is there anything specific that you are looking at from 6.7?
Support for vCenter 6.7 is planned (but not committed) with VSC 8.0, planned (but not committed) for end of this year.
Please reach out to the NetApp account team if yop need the support much earlier.
we would be happy to have VSC support for vSphere 6.7 earlier than end of the year.
Also most of the storage vendors have plans for supporting vCenter 6.7 in the latter half of 2018 as per VMware’s blog post. The new architecture is not something which has been in existence for a long time and has been introduced only recently (please refer to the link and do notice the date). There are other eco system changes which also need to be incorporated (like Java upgrade to Oracle Java 11 for example).
We would like thank all our customers for being patient with us and assure all of them that the new improved HTML5 based UI, supporting vCenter 6.7 and vCenter 6.5U2, will be well worth the wait.
We would also appreciate 6.7 compatibility asap, if possible with HTML5 interface support as well.
I understand new versions have always some challenges but "until the end of the year..." that`s not cool at all.
It`s been 2 months since 6.7 is RTM and I doubt you don't get early access to beta versions.
Anyway, please keep working on it.
Also strange to see that VSC 7.1 + 7.1P1 disappeard from the "official" download list.
