IBB owner Shay Geyer greets guests at the IBB Day of Design on Feb. 25.
The first-ever IBB Design Fine Furnishings “Day of Design” was a smashing success! With throngs of design fans and scads of vendors, IBB Design pulled off a successful event by any measure. The Frisco showroom hosted several presenters on Feb. 25 for the day-long design showcase, featuring IBB owner Shay Geyer, as well as several of the store’s talented designers. A craftsman from Vanguard Furniture built a chair right in the store, too. What a treat!
Did you miss it? Don’t worry, we have a feeling it will happen again.
IBB Design Fine Furnishing’s own Shay Geyer will lead a Feb. 25 workshop on how to add Pantone’s color of the year to your home.
Many were perplexed when Pantone announced that the 2017 color of the year was “Greenery” — how on earth do you add such a bold, lively, and by all means bright shade to home decor?
But for IBB Design Fine Furnishing’s Shay Geyer, it was a green light to inspiration. She’s found just the right balance for every style in adding this verdant color to rooms, and she wants to show you how.
You can learn how to make “Greenery” your personal color of the year in Shay’s noon presentation during the store’s “Day of Design” workshops this Saturday, Feb. 25. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., IBB Design staffers will host demonstrations on a bevy of subjects, as well as featuring some of the best vendors in the industry. They daylong event is open to the public, so do stop in!
Always craved a well-dressed bed? IBB Design is hosting a day of workshops where you can learn that and more!
While we marvel at photos of gorgeous homes day in and day out, you’d be surprised at how design-challenged some of us on the CandysDirt.com staff are. And with how quickly new products and materials are coming on the market, playing catch-up is a tough game for anyone in the real estate profession.
That’s why we’re thrilled about IBB Day of Design. On Saturday, Feb. 25, the talented design team at IBB Design Fine Furnishings will offer tips and tricks, as well as some of their favorite trends.

Twice a year, 2,000 dealers and over 100,000 shoppers from all over the U.S. flock to Round Top, midway between Austin and Houston, for the Round Top Antiques Fair. It’s a shopping extravaganza showcasing European and American antiques, architectural elements, and collectibles.
Texas’ own designer Julie Dodson hosted a special event at last year’s fall show that was such a success she’s returning for a reprise this year. The Second Annual Designer Dream Spree, to be held September 26-29, will include shopping the dealers of Round Top, a designer panel discussion on “Exceptional Discoveries,” and an array of social gatherings, from wine tastings to fine dining featuring cuisine prepared by notable Houston chef Travis Lenig.
Embarking upon their retirement years, Steve and Karen Piro enlisted Sanders Custom Homes and IBB Designer Shannon Gidney to help build their dream home.
After Steve’s successful career as President of Asko, Inc., and Karen culminating a 40-year career as the Independent Executive National Sales Director for Mary Kay Cosmetics, they were ready to begin a new, exciting phase in their lives and take on the task of designing a new place to call home. They wanted a home that was comfortable, inviting and stylish to enjoy with family and friends.
Shannon worked with Sanders and the Piros on the project for more than a year, selecting all of the interior finishes as well as designing and executing all of the home’s furnishings and drapery. Every last detail was accounted for, so all the Piros had to do was move in their clothing and personal belongings.
“We wanted our home to reflect our personalities and taste, and Shannon accomplished this through her excellent listening and questioning skills. It was nice to work with someone who was so aware of our needs without forcing her agenda. She brought us wonderful ideas and appropriate selections from which to choose. We asked for finishes which would not be dated in a matter of years,” Karen said.

Sarah Hampton has become the latest woman abused by undercover police to secure an apology in the fallout from the spycops inquiry.
Sarah is the eighth person to have received a formal “sorry” from the Metropolitan police for the actions of their officers, who repeatedly deceived women into beginning relationships while infiltrating activist groups in the 2000s while working for the shadowy National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU).
Despite being outed by activists and later by the newspapers, it wasn’t until 2015, after strenuous efforts at obfuscation, that the Metropolitan Police finally apologised to seven women deceived into relationships by undercover officers. Three of the women in the group had relationships with Mark Kennedy. But even after the other admissions, the Met refused to settle a claim from Sarah, pictured above with Kennedy.
Hampton is a US citizen who met Kennedy whilst on holiday in Ireland in 2005. She subsequently went onto have a one year relationship with the man she knew as Mark Stone without any idea of his true identity.
Having substantially dragged out her case the police have, at last, run out of excuses, caved in and apologised. As with the other women, the Met compounded their abuse by subjecting Hampton to a gruelling legal battle to try to avoid accountability and then had the gall to pay tribute to her tenacity in their apology.
Love is one of the most sacred things we have in our society and I fell in love with Mark Stone. He was supportive, attentive and generous, he behaved like he was in love with me. It tortures me knowing he was paid to be with me and because it was such a loving relationship, it was so devastating to find out it was all a lie.
I have wondered so many times if his superiors have kids; what would they think if their daughters were preyed upon like this? I have so much anger inside about this crime against me and it is only exacerbated by the fact that a government institution that is there to protect me is responsible. How do you trust men after this? How do you trust government?
Finding out that Mark was an undercover police officer brought about a deep depression that seemed impossible to navigate, there were times I almost gave up completely. The process of seeking justice on this case has felt at times belittling, intimidating and downright scary. I didn’t know how was I going to stand up to the Metropolitan Police Force. I felt I had been raped, I never consented to sleeping with a police officer.
I kept on fighting the case, using my life as an example of what should never happen to anyone.
No one should ever be under any circumstance coerced, invaded, violated and deceived by an undercover police officer through sexual relationships. Despite the apology I have many unanswered questions. I have not received the files the police have on me. I want to know to what extent my private life has been invaded by the UK police force and what justification is there for it?
a relationship with a US national in Ireland, in the UK, in Scotland and in Spain?
It is our responsibility now to make sure that this never happens again. We are continuing to fight for the truth to be revealed in the undercover policing inquiry, but it is currently only looking at events in England and Wales. My experience shows that the inquiry must be extended to include in Scotland, Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and other countries where we know Mark Kennedy and many other undercover police officers were active.
The Police and government are supposed to be here to serve the people and they need to be held responsible when negligent and violating human rights.
There is sufficient connection to two murders in Northern Ireland for there to be a need to notify the families of the involvement of undercover officers … We now know that there was an extensive operation taking place in Northern Ireland without any supervision at all.
This is is serious stuff. We simply don’t know whether there may be individuals serving prison sentences in Northern Ireland who were the subject of false evidence or agent provocateur. The brass monkey attitude from two secretary of states is that it is better to see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil – just turn a blind eye.

What do human research subjects have the right to know?
An interdisciplinary group of researchers from around the world converged at Northeastern last week to discuss the challenges of and best practices for navigating the new era for informed consent when using humans as research subjects.
Speaking at the Third Annual Workshop in Applied Ethics, Ron Sandler, associate professor of philosophy and director of the Northeastern University Ethics Institute, noted that factors such as community-based research, big data and genomics research, online research, and emergency medicine are changing the landscape of ethics oversight in research involving human subjects.
“There are a lot of areas of research now where it’s not clear how the standard model of informed consent works in those contexts,” he said.
Research using human subjects in America underwent a significant ethics overhaul after revelations surfaced in the mid 1970s that a 40-year syphilis study on black men in rural Alabama followed blatantly unethical practices by deliberately failing to treat sick people. The ensuing Belmont Report provided guidelines for researchers and established Institutional Review Boards to ensure research subjects are protected and best practices are followed.
But researchers at last week’s workshop noted that in the near half-century that has followed since the infamous Tuskeegee case, research itself has changed, rendering the current ethical standards insufficient for some studies.
For example, if a patient is unconscious when he arrives at the emergency department, he doesn’t have the ability to be informed about a study and can’t give consent to participate. Nevertheless, research in those situations is needed to improve emergency medicine practices in the future.
Hosted by the Ethics Institute and Northeastern’s Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute, the workshop provided a platform for discussion of so-called “post-Belmont ethics.” The institute’s director, Phil Brown, University Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Health Sciences, helped coin that term, which points to the need for an expanded view of informed consent.
Brown uses biomonitoring and air and dust monitoring to measure personal and household chemical exposures. Under the current guidelines, informed consent merely requires his team to inform research subjects of the risks and benefits of participating in the study and then non-coercively gain their consent to participate.
But Brown’s particular work generates significant amounts of data on research subjects’ personal exposure levels. Reporting those levels back to the subject—many of whom consider the data to be their “property”—infringes on practices of some IRB’s, which fear the data will scare people.
“We need to support peoples’ right to know about the results of the study, not just make sure that they aren’t exploited by the study,” he said.
In nine months, the national Institutional Review Board guidelines will be updated. Many of the participants at last week’s event, which included staff from the National Institutes of Health, hope the way forward will include new ethical assurances for the changing face of human-subjects research.

Typically, I wouldn’t review a lamp. Once again, my wife was the guilty party – wanting something to craft with next to her chair.
Whenever my wife goes all Zen over something, I start learning things. Like artificial light is bad for cross stitching.
I will spare you the lecture on how similar colors are hard to discern in artificial light. Instead, let’s take a look at the TaoTronics Elune TT-DL01 LED Lamp.
So why LED anyway? What’s wrong with traditional lighting in general? Opinions vary, of course – and your mileage may vary. But let’s look at the big concepts.
More green. LED consumes considerably less energy – which will help you save the planet, even if you don’t notice much savings on your electric bill. Hey, I’m all for saving energy and doing my part – as long as the product serves the purpose I purchased it for.
LED lighting is supposed to be smoother; no flickering – to reduce eye strain. It has to be better than the florescent lights I work under eight hours a day.
A nice thing about LED is that it doesn’t generate a bunch of heat. In fact, it stays COOL to the touch even in the brightest mode.
Finally, LED lights can be manipulated by power to dim, alter and otherwise affect the light warmth.
For most of us, what we really need from a lamp is … well, light. But light where we need it, when we need it and as bright as we need it. The traditional table lamp offers little to nothing in the way of light direction or movement unless you really want to move things around.
While we’re discussing this … sometimes you need a LOT of light. Sometimes you don’t. Some lamps come with a two or three way switcher/dimmer and if you can stand the buzzing, you can put a variable dimmer adjuster on a lamp.
Solving these problems is what this lamp does best.
The Elune lamp is basic, but pleasant looking. It’s mostly plastic (it’s very light – other than the weighted bottom that keeps the long neck standing up) but it feels sturdy enough.
The controls are on the front of the lower neck and consist of the light touch membrane type buttons you might find on a microwave. They don’t require any pressure – just a touch. There are eight buttons total; two for manual dimming, four presets (reading, study, relax and sleep), a power button and a timer button.
The unit uses what looks like a very standard AC adapter – a nice touch, as it isn’t hardwired into the lamp; you plug it in. That way if your new morkie puppy chews the crap out of the cable you can replace it pretty easily. The box on the other end of the plug is small, but you’re likely to lose a plug on a powerstrip due to the size.
The main body of the lamp is a two piece arm mechanism. The bottom arm (without the light) can bend about 65 degrees forward, letting you put the light right where you need it. The top arm also bends; about 120 degrees forward. This proves rather useless 90% of the time because it is really only effective when the top arm is at the top 45 degrees range. But it is still an option. You can also “close” the lamp’s top arm and lay it against the bottom arm when not in use which makes it less of a snagging hazard.
An odd thing – the bottom arm has a slit cut in it that lets the LED lamps shine through the back when closed. This lets you put a thin strip of light BEHIND the lamp if for some reason you need it. An interesting choice.
It’s a lamp, folks. You turn it on and off. You make it brighter and darker with the plus and minus buttons. The timer button will leave the light on for 60 minutes before powering it off (the power light blinks to let you know it’s activated). The swivel arms will get the light where you need it. The arm mechanism also swivels 180 degrees; all the way to the right and left.
How much more advanced can a lamp be?
What makes this lamp different and more useful are the four preset modes. At first, you might think these are just “levels of brightness” type presets, but they aren’t.
Upon closer inspection, you’ll see there are THREE strips of LEDs in the top arm. Two WHITE strips and one YELLOW strip (9 LEDs per strip). Using combinations of white, yellow and brightness each of the presets offer a different experience.
Reading. In this mode, all the lights are on with heavy emphasis on the white LEDs. This keeps your book pages looking soft, clean white. The yellow keeps it from being too bold. The most important thing? The white pages look white and colors are well preserved in this mode.
Study. Similar to reading mode, all LEDs are on but the yellows go down a notch and the whites go up a notch. This offers the most “natural” light of all four settings. The bold bright white will definitely keep you on task; it almost commands it.
Relax. As you may have guessed, the lamp kicks down the bright almost harsh white lights and cranks up the yellow – providing a nice soothing consistent light. This is the mode you use when you’re watching TV in the living room at night and you want SOME light on but you don’t want it bouncing all over your room, especially if you still have a glossy plasma TV.
Sleep. Kind of confusing here. A light on while you’re sleeping. My guess is that this is for children that can’t go to sleep in pure darkness and need a “night light”. Match this mode with the timer, and you can get the kiddies in bed – keeping the monsters in the closet for at least an hour. This mode shuts off the white LEDs completely and offers a subdued yellow LED experience.
Each of the four modes have five levels of brightness, controlled by the plus and minus buttons. The LED configurations remain the same – just the brightness level changes.
Finally, a single USB port exists on the right side of the bottom arm. This would be useful for possibly powering a USB speaker or fan – but since it is only 1A don’t expect it to power or charge your modern cell phone or table. Still, if you’re in a pinch, you might be able to use it to slow down the drain of your high drain devices.
No product is perfect and the Elune is no exception.
While durable enough for basic use, I don’t see this surviving as a lamp in a young child’s room. It is still plastic after all and while the hinge mechanisms feel strong and tight, a rough 7 year old boy might take this sucker out if you leave him to his own devices. Unless you are 7 (or heavy hand your hardware) you should be fine.
The unit sent to me for review is black and the glossy plastic attracts fingerprints like crazy. The lamp comes with a microfiber cloth to “hose it down” with, but you might want to go with white to avoid the fingerprints.
The 1A USB plug is a downer. If this guy was 2.1A, we could put it to much more use. As it stands, many consumers are going to get this lamp, excited to have USB power so close at hand – only to be told by their phone or tablet that the device isn’t going to charge very fast.
The biggest problem with this lamp is the price. While this lamp does have more features than competitor lamps, LED lamps can be had for almost half the price of this lamp (at the time of writing). The sweet price for this lamp would be about $50, but it currently sells for over $60. I think a lot of people will consider a lesser alternate lamp over this ten bucks and they would be missing out on the cool modes this thing has.
You need a lamp? Need more natural light? LED sound like a good proposition? You can’t go wrong with the Elune. Yes, it costs a little more, but the variable modes can really make up the difference – IF you can use them.
This would be the greatest lamp for a college dorm room, a den desk or even the bedside.
Rated at 50,000 hours of operation, you won’t be changing a bulb or replacing this lamp any time soon – so the higher price tag may be totally justified.
If you’ve never had an LED lamp before, they may surprise you. If you’re on the fence; give it a try. It is miles better than florescent lights and easier on your eyes over extended time than traditional bulbs. I prefer them.

Many financial decisions are made in situations of uncertainty, and so risk is involved. Different people are comfortable with different levels of risk.
Unlike, say, height or weight, there is no unit of measurement for risk tolerance. A person's risk tolerance can only be measured relative to others on a constructed scale, in much the same way as IQ is measured.
Why are 25 questions needed? A person's answer to a specific question may be influenced by a particular experience they have had, or their mood at the time. Or they may have misinterpreted the question. Or they may simply have made a mistake.
Statistical studies are used to determine the number of questions needed to provide a scientifically acceptable level of accuracy in an assessment. The accuracy of a questionnaire is a function, in part, of the square of the number of questions. Because of the nature of risk tolerance more than just a few questions are needed. Statistical studies of this questionnaire show that its accuracy exceeds internationally accepted standards.
What if the situation described in a question has never happened to me, or will never happen to me? There are a number of questions that ask you to assume or imagine you are in a certain situation. These questions are designed to gain a picture of what you would do in such circumstances, regardless of whether you have ever been in them or are ever likely to be in them. Please answer as best you can on the available information.
What if a question asks about a situation where, in real life, I would have (or would seek) more information than is given in the question? Some questions require you to make a decision based on limited information. While, in real life, you may wish to obtain more information before making your final decision, these questions are designed to gain an idea of what you would do given the limited information. Please answer as best you can on the available information.
What if none of the choices in a multiple-choice question is my preferred answer? Some questions give you a limited choice of responses and may not include what would be your preferred answer. These are designed to obtain a picture of what you would do given the choices available. Please answer as best you can on the available choices.
You answer a question by selecting one of the options. You select an option by clicking on the button in front of it. Please answer all 25 questions. If none of the options is exactly right for you, choose the option that is closest.
Please provide us with contact details so we can get in touch with you to discuss the results of your Risk Profiling.
*Please ensure you have entered your name and valid email address above.
Compared to others, how do you rate your willingness to take financial risks?
How easily do you adapt when things go wrong financially?
When you think of the word "risk" in a financial context, which of the following words comes to mind first?
Have you ever invested a large sum in a risky investment mainly for the "thrill" of seeing whether it went up or down in value?
If you had to choose between more job security with a small pay increase and less job security with a big pay increase, which would you pick?
Definitely more job security with a small pay increase.
Probably more job security with a small pay increase.
Definitely less job security with a big pay increase.
How do you usually feel about your major financial decisions after you make them?
Imagine you were in a job where you could choose whether to be paid salary, commission or a mix of both. Which would you pick?
Equal mix of salary and commission.
What degree of risk have you taken with your financial decisions in the past?
What degree of risk are you currently prepared to take with your financial decisions?
You have an opportunity to make an investment that appears to be almost certain to produce a sizeable return. However, you have no funds to put towards this investment. One option is to borrow money for this purpose. How likely is it that you would do this?
How much confidence do you have in your ability to make good financial decisions?
Suppose that 5 years ago you bought shares in a highly regarded company. That same year the company experienced a severe decline in sales due to poor management. The price of the shares dropped drastically and you sold at a substantial loss.
The company has been restructured under new management and most experts now expect it to produce better than average returns. Given your bad past experience with this company, would you buy shares now?
Investments can go up or down in value and experts often say you should be prepared to weather a downturn. By how much could the total value of all your investments go down before you would begin to feel uncomfortable?
Any fall would make me feel uncomfortable.
Assume that a long-lost relative dies and leaves you a house which is in poor condition but is located in a suburb that's becoming popular.
As is, the house would probably sell for £150,000, but if you were to spend about £50,000 on renovations, the selling price would be around £300,000.
However, there is some talk of constructing a major motorway next to the house, and this would lower its value considerably.
Which of the following options would you take?
Keep it as is, but rent it out.
Take out a £50,000 mortgage and do the renovations.
Which mix of investments do you find most appealing? Would you prefer all low-risk/low-return, all high-risk/high-return, or somewhere in between?
You are considering placing one-quarter of your investment funds into a single investment. This investment is expected to earn about twice the bank deposit rate. However, unlike a bank deposit, this investment is not protected against loss of the money invested.
How low would the chance of a loss have to be for you to make the investment?
Zero, i.e. no chance of any loss.
Very low chance of loss.
Moderately low chance of loss.
With some types of investment, such as cash and bank deposits, the value of the investment is fixed. However inflation will cause the purchasing power of this value to decrease.
With other types of investment, such as shares and property, the value is not fixed. It will vary. In the short term it may even fall below the purchase price. However, over the long term, the value of the shares and property should certainly increase by more than the rate of inflation.
With this in mind, which is more important to you - that the value of your investments does not fall or that it retains its purchasing power?
Much more important that the value does not fall.
Somewhat more important that the value does not fall.
Somewhat more important that the value retains its purchasing power.
Much more important that the value retains its purchasing power.
In recent years, how have your personal investments changed?
No changes or changes with no clear direction.
When making an investment, return and risk usually go hand-in-hand. Investments which produce above-average returns are usually of above-average risk.
With this in mind, how much of the funds you have available to invest would you be willing to place in investments where both returns and risks are expected to be above average?
Think of the average rate of return you would expect to earn on an investment portfolio over the next ten years. How does this compare with what you think you would earn if you invested the money in bank deposits?
About the same rate as from bank deposits.
About one and a half times the rate from bank deposits.
About twice the rate from bank deposits.
About two and a half times the rate from bank deposits.
About three times the rate from bank deposits.
More than three times the rate from bank deposits.
People often arrange their financial affairs to qualify for a government benefit or obtain a tax advantage. However a change in legislation can leave them worse off than if they'd done nothing.
With this in mind, would you take a risk in arranging your affairs to qualify for a government benefit or obtain a tax advantage?
I would not take a risk if there was any chance I could finish up worse off.
I would take a risk if there was only a small chance I could finish up worse off.
I would take a risk as long as there was more than a 50% chance that I would finish up better off.
Imagine that you are borrowing a large sum of money at some time in the future. It's not clear which way interest rates are going to move - they might go up, they might go down, no one seems to know. Given the two types of loans below, which are you likely to take?
• A variable interest rate that will rise and fall as the market rate changes.
• A fixed interest rate which is 1% more than the variable rate but which won't change as the market rate changes.
Insurance policies cover losses resulting from fire, theft and auto accidents. "Deductibles" or "Excess" are the amounts of a loss that the insurance company will not reimburse. The higher the deductibles or excess one chooses, the lower is the cost of the insurance. People select different amounts for their deductibles or excess. What sort of deductibles or excess do you typically take?
Very small deductible or excess - highest cost for insurance.
Small deductible or excess - high cost for insurance.
Large deductible or excess - low cost for insurance.
Very large deductible or excess - lowest cost for insurance.
This questionnaire is scored on a scale of 0 to 100. When the scores are graphed they follow the familiar bell-curve of the Normal distribution shown below. The average score is 50. Two-thirds of all scores are within 10 points of the average. Only 1 in 1000 is less than 20 or more than 80.
Completed O levels or GCSEs.
University degree or higher qualification.
Having in mind income from all sources - work, investment, family and government - into which income bracket does your personal before-tax income fall?
Are you married (or in a de facto relationship)?
If "Yes", into which income bracket does your combined before-tax income fall?
How many people in your family, beside yourself, do you fully or partially support financially?
How long have you been investing in stocks and shares/ collective funds?
You may wish to review your answers before they are recorded in the system. Once recorded they cannot be changed. This is done to ensure the integrity of the data. If, later, you wish to change one or more answers, you can only do so by re-doing the whole questionnaire.
You can review your answers by scrolling through the questionnaire. Now is the best time to correct any mistakes or omissions.

Facebook has booted Cambridge Analytica, a data firm once hired by President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, and its UK-based parent company SCL Group after it allegedly received user data improperly downloaded and shared by a University of Cambridge professor.
In a blog post, Facebook VP Paul Grewal explained that the social media site had learned of the improperly obtained data and ordered SCL, Cambridge Analytica, affiliated staff, and Kogan to delete it in 2015. Now, Grewal wrote, Facebook believes that these parties lied about whether they still have the millions of profiles and have opted to suspend them pending the outcome of an investigation.
As the Wall Street Journal noted last year, Cambridge Analytica’s role in Trump’s campaign drew the scrutiny of special counsel Robert Mueller, the Department of Justice investigator looking into the alleged Russian plot to meddle in the 2016 elections. As the Washington Post added, disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn also disclosed an “advisory role” at the company, which Cambridge Analytica denies was ever actually implemented. Nix, the CEO, also disclosed last year that he had reached out to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in an attempt to secure leaked Hillary Clinton campaign emails allegedly stolen by Russian hackers, though he said he was rebuffed.
Update 3/18/2018 at 7:05pm ET: It looks like the fallout from this situation is beginning to settle over Facebook, which is facing renewed inquiries about why it did not act faster to certify whether the data was destroyed. Per CNN, Facebook also admitted that it is looking into “ties” between current Facebook researcher Joseph Chancellor and Kogan’s firm, GSR, which was dissolved in 2017. It’s unclear at this point what role, if any, Chancellor had in improperly obtaining the data on tens of millions of Facebook users, though Chancellor was reportedly listed on paperwork as one of GSR’s directors.
Some former federal officials have also begun talking about whether Facebook’s lack of control over the data constituted a violation of a 2011 Federal Trade Commission consent decree with Facebook that its users must explicitly give consent before their data is shared, per the Washington Post. The paper reported that damages could in theory go up to $40,000 per violation, which if applied to all 50 million individuals allegedly impacted would mean Facebook’s “possible exposure runs into the trillions of dollars.” (In practice, this is unrealistic, but any penalty assessed could still be very large.) The incident may also indicate that such violations of the FTC rulings were commonly ignored as part of Facebook’s business model, which could backfire big time for the social media giant.
Finally, Facebook is coming under additional fire for its decision to suspend data analyst Christopher Wylie’s account. Wylie worked for Cambridge Analytica during the period that the data was allegedly obtained, but has characterized his involvement in the ongoing revelations about the company’s conduct as whistle-blowing.

For our last Faith In God activity, the Leader had arranged for the children to visit a local Fire Station. The idea was that the children would get a tour of the building and at the end of it have an understanding of what life as a Fireman is like and what their job involves and hopefully be more aware of the importance of their role and of the hard work that these brave men and women do.
I sorta said that as Primary President, I'd be going to support the Faith In God leader and to help if Dan Jon Jr had a problem with his blood sugars, but really it was because I wanted a tour around the Fire Station too!
Not long after we arrived, the children were talking with the different members of crew that had been assigned to give us the tour when BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! The alarm went off and all bar one of the Firemen had to run out to answer a call. The Fireman who was staying with us showed us the screen that had shown where the Firemen were off to and explained how the information was displayed etc. The children did find this interesting, but it was the group of adults that had managed to stick around that were the most vocal in asking questions!
The children soon warmed up to our friendly Fire Man tour guide, especially when he showed us all the equipment that they use in order to help them get into buildings or cars or where ever they have been called to help. We were shown the gym and told about the gruelling fitness tests and why they were necessary, shown the dorm, for those who worked the night shifts, the HUGE map that allowed the crew to memorise the different parts of Milton Keynes amongst many offices for the paperwork and other aspects of the job that quite honestly I'd never thought of before.
We were told about and allowed to hold/try on various pieces of equipment so we could feel for ourselves the weight of the clothing that the Fire Crew wear for safety. Those helmets, jackets and boots are HEAVY! I wouldn't want to have to run those up 13 flights of stairs, let alone also having to carry equipment and making my way through the smoke.
It was when the crew arrived back at the Station, that they asked the children if they wanted a tour around the Fire Engine. Of course, the children were excited by this and a chorus of YES PLEASE! could be heard. The crew tested the children (and adults) on what different pieces of equipment was called and what it was used for, before connecting up the hose and allowing the children (and any adults that wanted) to have a go at aiming the hose at a Traffic Cone and trying the various water functions, whilst they had it explained what each function would be used for in various fires.
We were also allowed to see the Hydraulic Platform in action, which is a monster of a thing and I am so glad I don't need to drive through some of the narrow streets in Milton Keynes, which is apparently something the crew will do to familiarise themselves with the areas, the road names and any restrictions that they may encounter in an emergency.
When they extended the Hydraulic Platform to it's fully height, we couldn't believe it stretched up so high! I've forgotten the exact height that it could extend to, it was over 30m, but the crew told us they had taken it to a local High Rise and were pleased to see it could go up to the 18 floor, which was the highest level of this building and the highest building in Milton Keynes.
The children were allowed to stand in the caged platform for a quick photo, but H&S rules meant no movement. I think that the children were pleased about this, after all, they had just seen it stretch to its full extent!
The children who were able to attend the day found it really informative and I hope that they also have a brilliant understanding of the work that the local Fire Crews do because I do after our visit.
Lastly, I just want to say if you happen to be married to a Fireman or a be a Fireman (and I mean Women too!) or related to a Fireman then Thank you. Thank you for the job you do, for helping keep us safe, for the hard work, the training and everything else that makes up your job.

OMG! Simon Cowell Egged at Britain's Got Talent Finale!?
Uh-Oh! It’s no surprise that Simon Cowell has some haters, but one of them took things to the next level during the finale of Britain’s Got Talent over the weekend. While one of the finalists was performing, a woman stormed the stage and began throwing eggs at Simon.
The famously cranky Brit didn’t keep all the attention on himself, though. He added a third tweet commending the interrupted contestants, opera singers Adam and Richard Johnson. “Bloody hell! Just watched the Adam and Richard performance back. They didn’t miss a note,” he wrote.

For 2 days in February our Y3/4 were Sparkwell trailblazers again as we went on our first residential visit. They spent a night at the Dewerstone Cottage and enjoyed lots of good food, washing up, a night walk and even a little bit of sleep! They were all amazing and we were proud of them all for taking on new challenges. If you would like to see a taste of what we did click here!

Standing beside Putin, Merkel said both countries — but especially Russia, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council — have a responsibility to tackle these problems.
She said she planned to raise human rights issues with Putin, and discuss bilateral relations, strained since Russia's annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014.
On the planned Nord Stream 2 pipeline to carry Russian gas under the Baltic Sea to Germany, Merkel said Ukraine should continue to have a role in gas transit to Europe. She said she welcomed the start of discussions among the European Union, Ukraine and Russia on that issue.
Putin told reporters that such a move had to make sense from a business perspective.
"I would like to stress that the main thing is that the Ukrainian transit — which is traditional for us — meets economic demands," he said. "Nord Stream 2 is exclusively an economic project."
The United States is pressing Germany to halt work on the pipeline, arguing that it will increase Germany's dependence on Russia for energy.
Ukraine fears the pipeline will allow Russia to cut it off from the gas transit business, while Germany's eastern European neighbours, nervous of Russian encroachment, have also raised concerns about the project.
Putin arrived in Germany on Saturday evening after a stop at an Austrian vineyard to attend Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl's wedding to entrepreneur Wolfgang Meilinger.
"We want to create new momentum in the Minsk [peace] process," German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in an interview to be published by Die Welt am Sonntag on Sunday.
Maas said he had spoken with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin this week, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was due to visit Berlin again on Sept. 14 after a meeting with Merkel in the German capital last month.

The workplace is changing--rapidly. By staying ahead of these trends, you can make sure your business remains the leader of the pack.
While the "future of work" may feel like a phrase related to a far more advanced or revolutionary description of the modern workplace, the reality is that workers (and leading companies) already are embracing the futuristic trends shaping the way we think about work.
The momentum surrounding the rapidly changing workforce suggests business leaders have to start thinking now about how they will scale and respond to these trends to continue attracting and retaining the right talent. And this is absolutely true.
Here are three trends that are sure to shape your future workplace--if they haven't started to already.
The rise of technology and flexible work through the on-demand economy is putting pressure on companies to offer more appealing options when it comes to flexibility. That's why many companies have baked flexibility into their culture and policies.
At Dell, for example, 25 percent of employees work from home on a regular basis, and the company is aiming for 50 percent to work remotely by 2020. For the high-tech startup Treehouse, the normal workweek is Monday through Thursday--even the CEO only works four days a week.
While your business may not be equipped to offer such extreme versions of flexible work, understanding what the future of flexibility could look like can help you start thinking about how flexibility fits into your business.
Technology is at the heart of any rapidly changing business or industry. This is why software skills, or even just software experience, has become a key requirement for roles in nearly every industry.
Even jobs previously seen as relatively low skill or entry level often require specialized software experience. For companies thinking about the future of their recruiting programs, it means candidates with the right combination of skills will become increasingly hard to find and recruiting teams will need creative strategies to attract them.
While many types of jobs have disappeared and others are endangered by automation, the future of work will include a slew of new technology-related roles and skill sets. Research may suggest that nearly half of U.S. jobs are at risk of disappearing due to automation, but this should inspire business leaders to think about what will come next.
The Internet of Things is the most recent example of the new types of roles needed to create the technology that is driving connectedness and creating massive amounts of data. Right now it's looking like virtual reality and 5G are gaining momentum, but when and how you respond to these technology developments depends on where you see them falling into your future of work.
No one can deny the workplace is changing, but keeping ahead of these trends can help position your company for success tomorrow and beyond.
Professional mermaids can make a decent amount of money performing at parties and teaching others how to "swim like a mermaid." They typically charge $300 per hour at birthday parties. But becoming a licensed mermaid and learning how to start your own mermaid business is pricey. Montreal-based company Aqua Mermaid charges entrepreneurs $3,800 for a 5-day training course.
Professional TV watcher is a real job — but it's not necessarily as easy as it sounds. According to an Investopedia.com article, pro TV watchers 'usually scan through different shows and news clips, and find the right clips that can be used on a television show or news program.' The article also says when Jimmy Kimmel was looking for a TV watcher back in 2005, his show was offering pay of $500 to $600 per week.

Chances are you’ve landed here because you have a purpose. No no, I’m not talking about your life purpose – that’s a different post altogether, and I wouldn’t presume to be so knowledgable. Right now, I am referring to your desire to take the next step into the magical world of home cinema.
The only way to enjoy a proper movie night, is when there is a large screen in front of your face and a big bag of popcorn in your lap. Alright, very well – it doesn’t have to be a bag. Tell you what, it can be one of those designated plastic or cardboard containers, okay?
So, you have your friends over, the popcorn is ready, the lights go out, and you hit that PLAY button. The question is, will you be watching this movie on a projection screen or a television screen?
Epson was formed from the fusion of several companies. Its origins are in Nagano, Japan, 1942. At the time, the Daiwa Kogyo company was established. This was one of Epson’s predecessors. Another name the company carried was Suwa Seikosha. Epson itself was established later on, in the middle of the 1970s, and later on it was merged with Seiko.
Epson released its first projector in 1989. The company had carried a couple of different names, changed some hands, and was essentially part of the TV and computer world. Epson has always been into communications and media, and it is really inspiring to see the changes and standards they have brought to the industry over the years.
Quality of image – take a look at the resolution and brightness. You know the line “what you see is what you get”? Well, it works here, too. Don’t settle for online shopping. Get yourself to several actual shops, browse around, and see if you can find a company and model – be it a TV or a projector – that you can see yourself owning.
Technology – TVs have smart capabilities, while most projectors do not. If this is something which you care about – and yeah, you should be thinking long-term – then take it into account. The ability to control a lot more from the comfort of your couch is worth it for some.
Ease of use – if you find that one device or model is significantly easier to operate than another, it could be a deal maker.
Reliability – technology is awesome, it really is, but let’s face it: things break. Devices fail. Do you have small kids or a dog? They could be detrimental to the state of your home theater setup. Either way, you need to be sure that if something breaks off or goes wrong, there will be a place where you can talk to someone and replace what needs to be replaced.
I am more of a projector man. I have a TV, but for movie nights I have my projector. The one I own is an Epson, so I figured I’ll talk a little bit about them and their best selling models.
To be clear: I did not use all of these models long-term. I gave them a “test drive” of sorts, and these are my initial impressions. Your mileage may very well vary.
As you can tell, it is one of the more simple models, but it still includes all of the standard connections and cables. It has 3-chip technology, and this is one of its main attractions. The 3000 lumens stand the test of dark and bright conditions, and it seems that Epson have seriously hit a home run with this projector. Of course, it does come with a couple of cons. First, there is no ability to perform an optical zoom, and there is no 3D function. Then again, I honestly would not expect it from such a device. This is a projector which seems ideal for offices and academic establishments.
This is another SVGA projector from Epson. It is more expensive than the VS240, even though the differences between them are not that great.
The major difference between them is the lumen count, which is 3200 on the EX3240 as opposed to the VS240’s 3000. Like the VS, this one also has 3-chip technology inside of its guts, and it is another affordable options for those who want quality without spending thousands of dollars. Good for presentations and home entertainment.
Now we are cranking things up a notch, as far as quality and price are concerned. The EX5250 is an XGA 3-chip projector which does not disappoint.
One of the biggest advantages this projector has – on top of its improved graphics – is its wireless capabilities. With the EX5250, you can project your film or presentation from a laptop, a tablet, or a smartphone. The device is compatible with all popular players and computers, and the HDMI connection makes hooking things up a cinch. One cable, and you are good to go.
Does it cost more? Yes. But you get more professional features with this model. Attributes such as exceptional brightness and color visibility of 3600 lumens, or a way to adjust and correct both vertically and horizontally. A huge leg up, however you look at it. Although, one thing is still lacking in this unit, and that is the ability to play 3D content. That is one feature which this device does not possess, but for those who are looking better projection capabilities for a slightly higher price, the EX5250 is certainly worth looking into.
Another one of Epson’s best sellers, which easily commands a lot of attention from would-be users. Because of its price and 3-chip LCD technology, it has become very popular.
Its main drawback is its resolution. The fact that the 640’s resolution is only SVGA, could be a potential turn off for some, but for many, many other users, SVGA is enough. The rainbow-free liquid crystal display makes this an affordable and solid choice for your home theater needs.
Comes with USB, HDMI, and other standard connections.
Epson themselves recommend this one for gaming. I haven’t tried playing any games on it, but the video is clear, bright, and highly satisfying. Look, to be honest, after a while testing these units, I stopped noticing the differences and just appreciated how well they work, and how clearly they lend themselves to the user’s needs. Epson’s products are certainly worth the money.
This is the most expensive unit on this small list of ours, and it is also the most advanced. The feature lacking from all of the previous models we went through was the lack of HD (in some of them), and the lack of 3D support (in all of them). This one blows them all out of the water.
Okay, so first of all, this unit has 3D support, full HD, and even though it is less bright than others on this list, it does not feel that way. The image is just amazing.
In a way, using this projector may end up making you feel bad. You know why? Because after getting some viewing time on this thing, you’ll never want to watch movies any other way. Seriously.
Obviously, it is more expensive, and so it should be. It is perfect for movies, gaming, and it is one of the best sellers Epson has in the “top tier home equipment”. For the quality and features which thing projector brings with it to the table, the price is definitely worth it. Also, keep in mind that the MSRP is not the final price. You can always find cheaper prices, so get cracking and look for some sales. You won’t regret it.
Surely, this is the way that movies were meant to be seen. So if you are tired of hunching over your laptop, and are ready to take matters to the next level, I highly recommend a projector. It doesn’t even need to be Epson. Right now I am just speaking on behalf of directors and screenwriters all over the world, who are begging you: watch our movies properly!
Epson or not, you can’t deny that projectors are getting more popular as their technology advances. People are seeing a lot more value in investing the time and effort (and money) in projectors, in an attempt to help their home theater experience go from good to great.

NERJA’S DONKEY SANCTUARY HAS CALLED FOR PUBLIC PROTESTS OVER THE SLAUGHTER OF TWO RARE DONKEYS TO PROVIDE MEAT FOR 500 GUESTS AT A FEAST.
The Gastronomic Association in the town of Sort, about 130 kilometres northwest of Barcelona, is reported to have taken the action to promote donkey meat, which is said to be sweeter than horse meat.
The Donkey Sanctuary’s Jim Horne told Costa del Sol News that the incident seemed ironic in a region like Cataluña where cities such as Barcelona have banned bullfighting and pride themselves on their modern approach to animal welfare. In addition, he said, the whole region has adopted the Catalan donkey as its mascot.The native Catalan donkey is considered the best of its species in the world, known for its endurance and ability to travel long distances. It can go three days without water and is strong enough to carry loads of 100 kilograms. Adults can reach heights of 165 cm and weigh 500 kilograms, with long, upright ears and a dark brown coat except for white areas around the abdomen, legs and eyes.
The donkeys help protect forests from fires by eating the dry weeds and brush. They have occasionally been crossed with other species to take advantage of their exceptional qualities.
Spain’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishing has taken action to conserve and protect the Catalan donkey. There was once a population of some 50,000 in Cataluña, but due to farming mechanisation and other factors there are now only a few hundred left.
Mr Horne said, “We are urging anyone who is as horrified as we are to write to the local mayor in protest. His name is Sr. D. Agustí López, and the town hall’s address is Doctor Carles Pol i Aleu 13, 25560 Sort, Lérida, Cataluña. Please go out of your way to let him know what you think of this and also send a copy to your own local MEP saying this just has to stop.”The Nerja Donkey Sanctuary is lucky enough to have two of the rare Catalan donkeys. One, named Pinky, is about eight months old and was rescued just before being sold to a dealer who intended to sell him on either to Italy for food or to work on a Spanish fairground carousel.
BOTH THE LAST MAYOR OF MARBELLA, MARISOL YAGÜE, AND HER PREDECESSOR, JULIÁN MUÑOZ, ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RECEIVED GIFTS FROM PROPERTY DEVELOPERS IN EXCHANGE FOR GRANTING BUILDING LICENCES AND OTHER IMPORTANT FAVOURS.
Reports from the ongoing Malaya investigation into corruption at Marbella town hall claim that Sra Yagüe underwent two cosmetic surgery treatments in 2004 at a Catalan clinic, but did not pay the combined 9,715-euro cost of the procedures. It is alleged that the bills were paid by a property company through Mar-bella’s town planning advisor, Juan Antonio Roca, widely considered the mastermind behind the corruption scams.
Julián Muñoz and his ex-wife Maite Zaldívar are said to have received properties from another developer currently on bail in the Malaya case. The gifts included a house, given to Sr Muñoz in 1999, and the sale in 2000 of an apartment, two garages and a storeroom in Marbella’s Avenida Ricardo Soriano to Maite Zaldívar for the nominal sum of 3,006, when the properties were valued at 132,500 euros.
Meanwhile, the Malaya corruption case has diverted attention from court action faced by Pedro Román, a former GIL councillor and right-hand man to ex-mayor Jesús Gil. He has been sentenced to two years in prison for tax fraud related to his company Marbella Sierra Blanca, but the sentence gives him the option of paying 1.4 million euros in back taxes and fees in order to avoid serving time. The prosecutor opposes the granting of this option for Sr Román, who is also involved in numerous other cases stemming from the GIL era at Marbella town hall.
HOMEOWNERS AT LOS HIDALGOS IN MANILVA, FED UP AFTER LONG COURT DELAYS IN THEIR CASE AGAINST ALLEGED OVERBUILDING AND LAND-USE INFRACTIONS AT THE URBANISATION, HAVE DECIDED TO PUBLICISE THEIR CASE ON THE INTERNET.
The website (www.los hidalgos manilva.com), in both Spanish and English, explains that the urbanisation was planned to consist primarily of individual villas and three pueblos – Pueblo Camelot, Pueblo Hidalgos (now Balconies de Los Hidalgos) and Pueblo Plácido (now Los Hidalgos Golf).
However, the homeowners’ association argues that over the last four years a large number of apartments and some town-houses have been built in four zones designated for villas. They claim that this contravenes the Plan Parcial (the document outlining the types of property that can be built at Los Hidalgos), which was approved in 1986 by the regional government.
The homeowners’ association has legally challenged Manilva town hall and two former mayors of the town – Pedro Tirado and Emilio Lopez Berenguer – for allegedly granting ‘illegal’ building licences by personal decree for 16 townhouses and up to 600 apartments, as well as usurping a community ‘green zone’ for a development project. It is this case that is currently bogged down in the courts.The new website details the case and urges anybody who is considering buying a property at Los Hidalgos to contact the homeowners’ association president, Chris Warren (chriswarren@terra.es), before they put pen to paper.
BENALMÁDENA CURRENTLY HAS 10,000 RESIDENTS WHO ARE CONSIDERED ‘EXEMPLARY CITIZENS’, A DESIGNATION CREATED BY THE TOWN HALL A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO THAT CARRIES ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES IN THE WAY OF REDUCED MUNICIPAL TAXES AND FEES.
Exemplary citizens are those who are registered (‘empadronado’) and have no outstanding municipal taxes or fees. They currently make up just 20 per cent of the town’s 50,000 registered residents, but local officials say the list is growing by about 200 people a month as word gets out about the available tax breaks.
Exemplary citizens automatically get a 23 per cent discount on their IBI real estate tax. An additional five per cent discount is available by paying the tax via a direct-payment order at the bank, bringing the total discount to 28 per cent.
Local business owners with exemplary-citizen status benefit further, with a 50 per cent discount on their commercial rubbish-collection fees. The town hall says that in coming years such discounts – of 20 per cent or more – will be extended to other municipal fees such as for membership in the sports department and participating in activities organised by the culture and youth departments.
The town hall has begun issuing ‘diplomas’ to residents who qualify as exemplary citizens. The certificate thanks the recipient for his or her “invaluable contribution” to the town’s progress and development.
The crime rate in Málaga province increased for the third consecutive year in 2006, according to government statistics released this week. The total number of crimes recorded by the National Police and Guardia Civil was up nearly eight per cent, to 97,931. There were sharp increases in the number of sexual assaults, up 26 per cent, as well as home robberies and cases of domestic violence, both up 14 per cent. Robberies involving violence or intimidation jumped seven per cent.
Some crimes saw decreases in 2006, including murders, which were down 11 per cent, and large brawls, down 30 per cent. Also, law-enforcement forces did a better job of solving crimes, with a 33.5 per cent success rate, up 7.4 points from 2005. The number of arrests was up four per cent, to 14,725. Despite the eight per cent increase in the number of crimes committed, the crime rate – based on number of crimes per thousand inhabitants – rose just 1.4 per cent, to 65.5. In other words, a large portion of the increase in number of crimes was due to increased population as well as a proliferation of itinerant eastern European crime gangs, increased specialisation among criminals and the province’s improving economy, which makes it more attractive to criminals.
Two men have been acquitted of fraud charges after the provincial court ruled that their scam was so patently incredible that it couldn’t be considered a viable fraud. Among other things, the men tried to convince a Torremolinos car dealer to give them 30,000 euros in 500-euro notes because they had a magic liquid that would duplicate the notes. The would-be victim was first approached in September 2005 by Tom B.W., from Libya, who said he had 500,000 euros from his deceased father but that in order to avoid customs taxes the money had been dyed black before being brought into Spain. But he had a special liquid that when applied to the bills would turn them back to their original condition, he said. He even gave the car dealer a demonstration and gave him the resulting 50-euro note to check its authenticity. The car dealer took it to a bank, where he was warned of a possible scam.
Several days later the conman showed up with a Nigerian friend, Paul A.U., and the two men regaled the car salesman with their story of the note-duplicating potion. The car salesman called the police and the two men were arrested. A knapsack they were carrying at the time was found to contain bottles of liquid, packets of paper in the size of 50-euro notes and other items. The court found that while the men clearly intended to commit fraud, their method was “a ridiculous proposition, obviously detectible by anyone with a basic or inferior level of culture and intellect.” However, despite acquitting them of the fraud charges, the court ruled that they be deported due to their status as undocumented immigrants and their potential threat to society.
The Ministry of the Environment has agreed to seek alternatives to the planned small dam and pipeline system to divert water from the Río Grande to Málaga, a project that has been met with fierce opposition from Guadalhorce Valley officials and residents.
At a meeting last week, ministry representative Joan Navarro promised the mayors of Coín, Guaro and Cártama that at least the dam portion of the project will be completely scrapped and removed from the National Hydrologic Plan. He said that other options for ensuring water supply to both the Guadalhorce Valley and Málaga are being studied and that a new plan will be presented within a month. No project will move forward without “the consensus of all those involved,” he said.The ministry’s promise for an alternative proposal comes following a string of protests against the Río Grande project. Opponents say it would be an environmental disaster for the river and the valley and that the pipeline would directly impact 500 property owners. Local residents and environmental groups as well as the town halls of numerous Guadalhorce towns have joined together to stage several protests in Coín and Málaga city in recent months.
Nerja’s new sporting facilities are expected to open before the end of the month. The final touches are now being put to the 2.9-million-euro construction project which began in 2003.
The new building includes an indoor sports arena for volleyball, basketball and indoor football with tiered seating from about 600 spectators as well as a 25-metre heated, indoor swimming pool. However, the project to build a complex next to the town’s sports stadium has had a chequered history.
A ceremony to lay the foundation stone was postponed twice, once because someone forgot to send out the invitations, and work was paralysed on the project during the summer of 2004 when a row broke out between Nerja town hall and the Junta de Andalucía. Nerja sports councillor, Rafael Rivas, said that the low quality of the materials was putting the construction workers at risk, while the regional government stopped work because of the presence of a high-tension power line above the site claiming that Nerja should have had it moved. Then last October, Councillor Rivas complained about the lining of the pool and the floor, “which are in a poor state and have to be re-laid,” adding the town hall would not accept delivery of the new facility until it was in a perfect state.However, all problems appear to have been resolved and work has been continuing on the final stages of the project. This includes completion of access roads to the new complex which is adjacent to the López Cuenca sports stadium to the east of the town centre.
State public prosecutor, Cándido Conde Pumpido, has this week sent documentation on the Ronda Los Merinos development to the environment and town planning prosecutor together with a request from the regional government that the project be paralysed.
The prosecutor acted after the IU-LV-CA regional MP for Málaga, Antonio Romero sent him a report in which it is alleged that the project adversely affects the local environment, a zone protected under the UNESCO Biosphere and that it would also harm the area’s aquifers.
According to the regional government the current plans that would see 800 homes, two golf courses and a five-star hotel built at Los Merinos do not correspond with the project that was presented and subsequently approved. The Andalucian authority is asking for the development to be paralysed until the plans have been revised and any discrepancies resolved. It says it will then let the project proceed “if the resulting plans are viable.”The chief objection raised by the regional government is that Los Merinos development does not have its own water supply. Instead it is relying on drawing on resources that are designated for Ronda and the 10,000 residents in the area. This same objection has been raised by local residents, town halls and environmental groups although Ronda town hall has stood firm, so far, in backing the scheme.
THE NEW STRETCH OF THE COASTAL MOTORWAY EAST OF NERJA WILL OPEN NEXT WEEK WHEN THE MINISTER OF DEVELOPMENT, MAGDALENA ÁLVAREZ, OFFICIALLY INAUGURATES THE 9.6 KILOMETRES OF AUTOVÍA WHICH WILL CARRY TRAFFIC FROM THE PROVINCE OF MÁLAGA INTO NEIGHBOURING GRANADA.
The motorway, which has taken twice as long to construct as was expected, was opened in April 2002, when the then Development Minister, Francisco Álvarez Cascos laid the foundation stone of the 102- million-euro project, expecting vehicles to be using the road in 30 months. Now, after five years the total cost has risen to 140 million euros with the problems of difficult terrain blamed for delays and added expense. A third of its length is accounted for by three tunnels as well as four high viaducts which, although having been a civil engineering nightmare, may afford spectacular views to drivers and their passengers.
The construction took the lives of seven workers. In September 2004, an Almería man died and three others were injured when a girder fell onto them as they worked on one of the tunnels, while in November 2005 six men died when a 20-ton section of one of the viaducts fell 80 metres to the ground. Three others were injured and work was suspended while enquiries were held into the cause of the accident. In another incident during construction, a toddler escaped injury when rock-blasting near Maro created a “rain of stones” with one crashing through the window of his room.
Work on almost all of the remainder of the 81-kilometre autovía planned to run from Nerja to Adra is underway. Once completed, it will be possible to drive on motorway-class roads from Gibraltar to north-east Spain and on into France and the rest of Europe.
THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS, PARENTS AND PUPILS HAVE TAKEN PART IN A DEMONSTRATION TO PROTEST AT VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR IN SCHOOLS.
Figures issued by the police indicate that 5,500 people participated in the street march in Jerez, although the organisers claim that the true figure was nearer 8,500.
Eighty-five per cent of teaching staff in Cádiz province are believed to have taken part in the protest, either in Jerez or in simultaneous demonstrations held in Cádiz city, Algeciras and La Línea de la Concepción.
AN ASTOUNDING 231 TURTLES OF EIGHT DIFFERENT SPECIES WERE PULLED FROM THE WATER DURING A BIANNUAL POND CLEANING OPERATION LAST WEEK IN BENALMADENA’S PARQUE DE LA PALOMA.
It is the first time the growing turtle population has been addressed at the park. The presence of the turtles is due exclusively to pet owners setting them free at the park pond, which has never been stocked with them, say town hall officials.
While many park-goers may enjoy seeing the turtles swimming or basking in the sun, the vast majority of the animals are not welcome additions to the pond’s ecosystem, say experts. More than 150 of the recovered turtles were of an American species known as red-eared slider, and most of the rest were of other non-native species. “These turtles pose a great risk for local ecosystems because they attack the native fauna and in some cases carry diseases that local specimens are unprepared for,” said David Garvayo, president of Asociación Mundo y Natur-aleza, which carried out the clean-up at the pond.
On a more positive note, 17 of the turtles found at the pond were of a threatened native species, the Spanish turtle (Mauremys leprosa), and it is believed they are reproducing at the park. The town’s Parks and Gardens Department says there are plans to create a breeding facility at the park with the idea of releasing hatchlings into their natural habitat in the wild. The pond at Parque de la Paloma was originally stocked with only carp but, as with the turtles, over the years numerous other species have been spontaneously intro-duced. Perhaps the most surprising is a school of piranhas, which Parks and Gardens Department’s José María López says are “not at all aggressive” and serve a purpose as carrion-eating scavengers.
A STUDY BY A MOTOR INSURANCE FIRM HAS LED TO SUGGESTIONS THAT USING GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS) WHILE DRIVING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, AND EVEN THAT THEY SHOULD PROHIBITED FROM USE IN CARS.
The company Mapfre was investigating statistics which show that almost 40 per cent of road accidents in 2006 involved an element of driver distraction, a figure which has risen dramatically over the last 15 years. They were also concerned that GPS units have become one of the most popular Christmas gifts for motorists.
To evaluate the dangers, seven men and seven women drivers were each asked to drive round an unknown 20 kilometre route using GPS. One jumped a red light, two ignored “Stop” signs and four tried to drive up one-way streets. In addition, their cars braked suddenly and for no reason, turns were made without signalling and vehicles were manoeuvred dangerously between traffic lanes.
Now the director general of the Traffic Department, Pere Navarro, has started a debate on whether the use of GPS while driving should become an offence. He said that, already, if it can be shown that a driver was distracted by pressing the buttons on a GPS mounted in his vehicle, the Guardia Civil could interpret that as a driving offence. However, he added that his department was undertaking a study during which officers would note such incidents in an effort to assess the extent of the problem. Other critics of GPS have even gone so far as to suggest that the units should be banned from being installed in a vehicle where the screen is visible to the driver.Spain’s driving organisations are unsurprised by the news and say they have had concerns for some time about the use of GPS while on the move. The Mapfre study recommends choosing a GPS which is voice-activated with an anti-reflective screen and ensuring familiarity with its operation before use. It says the system should never be operated manually while driving and, if the GPS unit recommends a drastic change of route, the driver should stop and review the situation instead of reacting hastily and possibly dangerously.

The Queensferry Crossing is one of the most striking engineering icons of the twenty-first century. It is the UK’s tallest bridge and the world’s longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge. Linking Edinburgh with the county of Fife it stands proud alongside its illustrious neighbours, the world famous Forth Bridge and Forth Road Bridge.
Addressing the official opening ceremony on 4th September 2017, 53 years to the day after officially opening the Forth Road Bridge, Her Majesty the Queen said "The three magnificent structures we see here span three centuries, are all feats of modern engineering and a tribute to the vision and remarkable skill of those who designed and built them."
The Queensferry Crossing provides resilience to the strategic road network on the east coast of Scotland and enables essential maintenance works to be carried out on the existing Forth Road Bridge, which is now used by pedestrians, cyclists, emergency services and public transport.
One of the most striking features of the new crossing is its overlapping stay cable design. This beautiful cable configuration provides extra stability to the structure, and the Center Tower in particular, facilitating the slender design of the towers. More on the cable design.
Suspended by these cables 50 metres above high tide, the main deck offers 4 lanes of wind protected traffic, plus two hard shoulders. Each of the deck sections was fabricated in China before being shipped to the Forth estuary to be fitted out prior to installation. More on the deck.
At up to 210 metres high, the 3 slim towers make the Queensferry Crossing the tallest bridge in the UK, and 50 metres higher than the earlier road bridge towers. They were constructed in stages using an innovative climbing formwork system. More on the towers.
The geology of the Forth estuary is complex and called for different approaches to the foundations of each tower. All foundations bear on the top of the rockbed, which eliminated the need for expensive and time-consuming piling onto the hard rock that underlies the whole crossing. More on the foundations.
The Queensferry Crossing sits within a beautiful bridgescape representing three centuries of engineering innovation. The Forth Bridge was built in 1890 and was the first steel bridge and longest cantilever bridge span in the world at the time. Its iconic design was recognised in 2015 when it was made a UNESCO world heritage site.
The Forth Road Bridge, a classic suspension bridge was opened in 1964. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge outside of the USA. Although a major feat of engineering at the time, the bridge was no longer deemed viable as the long-term main crossing over the Firth of Forth in 2006, due to the cabling showing signs of corrosion. As a result construction on the Queensferry Crossing began in 2011.
The stunning Queensferry Crossing forms the centrepiece of a major upgrade to the important cross-Forth transport corridor in the east of Scotland. The 22km footprint includes major improvements to the surrounding road networks and connects the M9 and M90 together for the first time. The project also integrates smart motorway traffic management technology, the first such implementation in Scotland.
Ramboll is proud to have led the Design Joint Venture (DJV), which includes Sweco and Leonhardt Andra and Partners. The DJV worked for main construction contractors Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors (FCBC), a consortium of Hochtief, Dragados, American Bridge International and Morrison Construction, helping deliver the crossing and surrounding road approaches.
Peter Curran, DJV and Ramboll Project Director for Queensferry Crossing commented “Working on a project of this scale and importance is a real privilege. We have been working on the Queensferry Crossing since 2009 and it has been both a challenging and rewarding experience. We have worked hard in pushing the boundaries of innovation in order to develop a competitive tender design and have subsequently continued our endeavours during the construction process in close collaboration with the Contractors and Clients teams in order to optimise its delivery. It really is awe-inspiring to look out onto the Firth of Forth and see the contribution we have made to such an amazing bridgescape”.
The project to design and construct the bridge has been recognised within the industry for its innovation and efficient delivery. Already the project has collected the following major awards.

A bridge doesn’t simply get us from A to B; it also has significant consequences for economic growth, increased mobility and local communities.
A feat of engineering and construction, see the project unfold over six years.

The Queensferry Crossing makes it into the Guinness World Records for being the world’s largest free-standing balanced cantilever.

While most cold weather recipes turn to warming spices, we love the bright, citrusy flavors in this herby winter quinoa salad.
2. In another small pot, cover the lentils with an inch or so of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for approximately 25 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Drain off the excess liquid and set aside.
3. Add cooked quinoa, cooked lentils, and all remaining ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
4. Best served chilled or at room temperature. Great for potlucks or brown bag lunches.

CineBench has always been a fantastic tool for testing the raw number crunching capabilities of your CPU. With CineBench R11.5 being a part of our test suites for a long time it's also a cool way of comparing a huge array of processors. For example, the 6-core Core i7-990X, once a range-topping thousand pound offering, gave us just shy of 12 CPU Pts. A total matched by the Quad-Core i7-6700K and whopped into insignificance by the six cores of the i7-6850K. The pure clock speed and core numbers might be similar, but the reality is anything but. The benefits of modern architecture and the improvements Intel can bring to each generation.
Unsurprisingly the more recent CineBench R15 has fewer CPUs in the graph and thus the latest Broadwell-E models dominate proceedings. The current i7-5960X still makes a great showing though, so if you've only just splashed out the price of a car on that particular offering you shouldn't be too disheartened. Everyone else, get saving.

Baltimore, Maryland (December 18, 2013): The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the oldest and largest organization of blind people in the United States, is proud to announce the winners of the 2013 Onkyo Braille Essay Contest. The NFB administered the Onkyo Braille Literacy Essay Contest in the U.S. on behalf of the North American/Caribbean Region of the World Blind Union. The essay contest, sponsored by Onkyo Corporation, a Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer, and the Braille Mainichi, part of the Mainichi Newspaper Company in Japan, was created to promote Braille literacy and to encourage the sharing of social and cultural information among blind and visually impaired persons.
The essays were required to be written in Braille and to pertain either to how the individual gains knowledge or independence through Braille or to an individual concept about world peace from the viewpoint of persons with disabilities. There were two groups of competitors: a junior category for persons up to age twenty-five and a senior category for persons over age twenty-six. Each winner received a substantial cash prize, a plaque, and other gifts from the Onkyo Corporation.
The NFB encouraged all countries in the North America Caribbean Region to participate in the Onkyo Braille Essay Contest. Essays were submitted from the United States and Canada.

I’ve come to the conclusion, if I’m going to make a change they should too. Everything from his favourite bread, Mayo ( which he piles on everything) to his fave meals. I will still cook his fave dishes just more occasionally. Like today he wanted fried pork chops, rice and gravy, etc. I take xls-medical a lot of the time and I did eat some but small portions. I just caught myself thinking that ALL of us need to start eating healthier. I think it will help me and all of us to change our diets completely. So, next grocery trip, I’m will be making that change. My daughter likes nothing green and the only veggie she will eat is a potato. Things are going to change around here. I know he will drop some lbs quickly as he hates the new bread, light mayo, and the crystal light for water. He hates eating chicken everyday. All he drinks is milk and even that is gonna change to at least 1% Lol. Poor guy, but this needs to be done. I don’t know what came over me, I just got mad and thought about all this.
I’m going to exercise every single day even on Sundays when I said I wouldn’t. I still smoke, even though I did cut down some. I’m done. I always told dd to stay inside so the smoke wont get her sick. I came in earlier today from smoking and she said ” Mama, I don’t want YOU to be sick!” I’m done. Done. I want to cry. I feel like my life is a mess, and only I can fix it. I feel like a terrible mother and wife because I let my depression about all this effect my relationships with them. I’ve known for sometime I’m depressed. I probably need medication, but I don’t want to take any drugs for it. I’ve been that route and it wasn’t good.
I’m finally ready, like really ready to do this. My life and my families quality of life depends on it.
You are NOT rambling. I know exactly how you feel, I just can’t seem to get to that breaking point that you are at! I want this SO bad but it’s so hard to actually commit. There’s just not enough hours in the day for me.
I do agree with you about the whole house changing too. I need my hub on.my side. He’s at his heaviest weight too.
They are gonna starve….lol. Esp him he is so funny about things. Im just so tired, mentally and pysically about all this mess. I got to get into the right mind set or its never going to get done. Im a quitter, always have been and I dont ant to be that way anymore.
Hey your will power will be mine, and we both can reach our journey.

Ho-ddeok is a winter street food in Korea that is slowly transitioning into year-round fare. In essence, it’s a fried yeast dumpling, flattened to a pancake, with a sticky cinnamon sugar center – and it’s delicious.
1 Mix the yeast, white sugar and water and leave in a warm place to ferment for 15 minutes. Sieve the flour into a bowl, add the salt, milk and yeasty water. Mix well, cover and leave to rise for two hours.
2 Mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together for stuffing.
3 Oil your clean hand and take a piece of dough, flatten it with your hand into a circle.
4 Now take a spoonful of the filling and put it in the center of the dough. Form a dumpling by taking up all the sides and then pinching it at the top. Then roll into a ball.
5 Heat up the peanut oil in a frying pan. When hot, put in the filled dumpling ball and flatten it with a spatula. Cook to golden brown, and then flip to cook the other side.
6 When cooked, place the dumplings on a plate with paper towel on it, and serve hot.

Thanks to advanced in modern technology, taking an x-ray at the dentist is now safer than ever. Instead of traditional methods using x-ray film, the electronic sensor inserted into your mouth is connected to a computer. After the x-ray is taken, the image is viewable instantly on the screen.
The most obvious benefit of digital x-rays for the patient is reduced exposure to radiation, with digital x-rays emitting up to 90% less radiation than their traditional counterparts. Given that traditional x-rays already emitted relatively low radiation, the amount emitted from digital x-rays is negligible and completely safe.
The purpose of performing dental x-rays is to find abnormalities that were not detectable during a routine dental exam. Using x-ray images, a trained dental professional is able to detect decay between teeth, changes in bone density caused by gingivitis, the integrity of existing restorations, the condition of bone and root structure, and much more.
It is imperative to supplement a visual examination with x-ray imaging in order to more fully detect, diagnose, and treat oral health problems before they progress. We recommend taking a full series of digital x-rays approximately every three to five years. Bitewing x-rays are recommended 1-2 times per year.
With digital x-ray technology, early prevention of dental problems is safer than it has ever been before. While many patients may be fearful of radiation emitted during an x-ray, it is important to understand that low doses of radiation are completely normal and harmless to the human body.
The amount of radiation emitted during a traditional dental x-ray has been shown to be approximately equivalent to the amount of radiation you would naturally be exposed to on a normal day (called background radiation). Keeping this in mind, consider that a digital x-ray will emit just 10% of a traditional x-ray. What this means is that a digital x-ray emits the same amount of radiation that you would receive by standing outside for approximately 2 hours.
In addition to being safer than traditional x-rays, they are more comfortable for the patient and they are faster to administer.
Like all other digital files, digital x-ray images have the added benefit of being easily shared between other medical professionals. And once received, they are stored much more easily and safely than traditional film x-rays. And because they are digital files, they reduce the waste generated by film, thus making them better for the environment.

It was lovely to see so many parents, carers and employers at the Post 16 Work Experience celebration assembly yesterday afternoon. Students reported on skills learnt and difficulties overcome in their placements. The students from Post 16KJ and JM showed slides and told us about their placements; it was great to hear about individuals serving lattes, cleaning buses, replenishing stock, signing-in visitors, cleaning ponds and even holding snakes! The students from Post 16BJ showed us a video of themselves doing a wide variety of gardening jobs.
The P16 Council made cakes to sell in aid of Marie Curie Trust during the afternoon and served these with refreshments at the end of the presentation. We are so proud of the confidence and skills students gained at their work experience placements.

People with lactose intolerance experience symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, flatulence and/or bloating after consuming lactose. Lactose intolerance is mostly a deficiency, not an absence of the enzyme lactase. These symptoms occur because the body does not fully digest lactose, a type of sugar that is naturally present in milk and other dairy foods.
Please see the attached Fact Sheet for more information about Lactose Intolerance.
Nutrition Australia would like to acknowledge Dairy Australia as the author of this resource.

THe chief of Waitrose supermarket will be the new trade minister of UK. The 55 year old supermarket boss, Mark Price will replace Lord Maude as the trade minister in David Cameron ministry. Price who calls himself the ‘Chubby Grocer’ would face the taunting task of uplifting the British export industry where the Government has set up a target of £1trillion for 2020.
Lord Maude stepped down in a surprising move after being in office for less than an year. Maude who has been in politics for over three decade now would be made a life peer, the Government announced. He will take up his new role in April as the head of the new department which would be formed from Business Department and the Foreign Office. Couple of weeks back, Maude, while speaking to newspersons has said that the government might miss the 2020 export target.
Assuming the office in the capacity as the trade minister, Mark Price, will be following the footsteps of some other prominent business leaders like HSBC chairman Lord Green and BT chief Lord Livingston as both have been trade ministers. Lord Price after being with Waitrose for over 22 years, step down as the managing director in October 2015. He was planning to be the Chairman of Channel 4, which didn’t happen.

Northeastern University Bouve College of Health Sciences School of is an accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. We deliver live, online and enduring programs for pharmacists. Co-sponsor of our programs include the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacy professional organizations, medical communications companies, other colleges of pharmacy and other healthcare providers.
How many hours of CE do I need to maintain my license in Massachusetts?
Contact hours of continuing education may not be carried over from one calendar year to another.
At least two contact hours shall be in the area of pharmacy law; and not more than ten contact hours shall be acquired through home study and other mediated instruction.
What do ACPE, NABP and CPE Monitor stand for?
CPE Monitor stands for Continuing Education Pharmacy Monitor which is the national system which tracks and records Continuing Pharmacy Education credits.
To determine if a program is accredited by ACPE, look for the ACPE logo and a fourteen digit number on information brochures regarding the program.
When will I receive my statement of continuing education participation?
Statements of credit are no longer issued by the accredited ACPE provider. Credits earned for successful completion of programs are electronically transferred to a pharmacist’s individual CPE Monitor account at the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).
What if I've lost my continuing education statement of credit?
Statements of credit are available on participant’s individual CPE Monitor account. Go to www.nabp.net to create or access an account.
Can I receive partial credit for a course, if I can't stay for the whole program?
It depends on the program. Some of our annual conferences are organized as two separate days. If you can register for one day, without the other, you could receive continuing education for just one day of programming. But, in general, you cannot receive partial credit (e.g. 2 hours of a 4 hour program) for our live coursework. You must attend the course in its entirety.
What's the difference between certification and a statement of credit program?
Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (CGP) (see the Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy for further information).
In contrast, “certificate programs in pharmacy are structured and systematic post-graduate continuing education experiences for pharmacists that are generally smaller in magnitude and shorter in time than degree programs, and that impart knowledge, skills, attitudes and performance behaviors designed to meet specific pharmacy practice objectives.” “The successful completion of one or more Certificate Programs in Pharmacy may be among the requirements for certification or re-certification, as determined by the organization granting certification. Reference: The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. Standards and Quality Assurance Procedures for ACPE-Approved Providers of Continuing Pharmaceutical Education Offering Certificate Programs in Pharmacy. Chicago, 1999.
What are 'mediated' contact hours and how do I obtain them?
Mediated contact hours are those obtained outside of the live setting. Examples include online activities and continuing education activities found in pharmacy magazines.
How do I know what questions I missed on a test?
All incorrectly answered questions will be displayed.
Review all the program material and focus on those questions that you marked incorrectly. You may take the test again at no additional charge until you pass.
Can I receive continuing education credits for your programs in my state?
Although the majority of our programs are accepted for continuing education credit in all states, it is ultimately your responsibility to find out whether our programs will be acceptable for continuing education credits in your state. If you have questions, we recommend that you contact your state board.
If my state board requires that my continuing education programs be submitted, will you send my records to the state board of or will I have to do it?
You are responsible for all interactions with your state board.

A large poster in the national bus terminal, about a major public work in progress.
On Friday, February 10, members of the SUNTRACS construction workers union, whose leaders are part of the November 29th National Liberation Movement (MLN-29), along with other groups in that political group — the Revolutionary Student Front (FER-29), the National Front for the Defense of Economic and Social Rights (FRENADESO) and the Broad Front for Democracy political party (FAD) — blocked streets in the metro area and some other parts of Panama. It was billed as a protest against corruption but this faction of the left has had little to say about Odebrecht as the national and international bribery scandal has been brewing.
So what’s THAT all about? Odebrecht is a conglomerate but at the center of it is one of the world’s largest construction companies. For their public works projects here — under great suspicion of having been procured by bribery — the people who do the actual work are construction workers represented by SUNTRACS. Throw Odebrecht off the job and it might entail something that union leader Saúl Méndez is warning about, disruption of the job with layoffs for workers whom he represents.
But what’s a commie radical movement to do when all the other commie radicals — as well as most business and conservative groups in the country — are protesting about the systematic government corruption of which Odebrecht is the poster child?
Well, call out SUNTRACS and friends to block traffic to protest corruption on a Friday. That sort of covers the movement from allegations of being soft on corruption, and after the morning’s protests are over gives the union rank-and-file a longer weekend.
The big Odebrecht project now underway is Line 2 of the Metro commuter train system. It would be disruptive to throw the confessed criminal company off the job, but as they do a lot of the work through subcontractors giving them the boot may not have to involve a shutdown of the project. It would largely depend on how the government managed any expulsion of the Brazilian company.

Part 15 - Rocker Rust -- Nice Brass!
Two days ago, I got out the torch and brazed the quarter panel back to the rocker cover. As you can see in the picture below. I needed to use quite a bit of filler rod (which, by the way, is made of brass, hence, this page's title). I thought it turned out pretty well but when I looked at it yesterday, I decided to do a little more smoothing. I didn't get a good shot of the second round of work today but it does look a little nicer. Luckily, the factory brazing looked pretty bad here as well so I don't feel too bad. I also brazed the quarter further down on this area where the end of the quarter panel tucks under the rocker cover.
After I finished with the brazing work, I started stripping the rest of the rocker cover. When I fixed the cowl, I didn't strip the entire thing so all of the existing runs in the spray paint showed through. I didn't want to repeat that mistake here. I also ended up having to remove the front door. After the fiasco with the striker on the rear door, I was a little hesitant to do this but as it turned out, the biggest problem I had was how to hold the door up and remove the screws at the same time (a floor jack a block of wood was the solution there).

My grandmother loved history, especially our family history. As a genealogist in the time before computers, she painstakingly researched our family tree, taking trips to the birthplaces of our ancestors, collecting history, and compiling it in her library. She was well-known not only for her research on our family, but also on the first families that divided and occupied “My Lady’s Manor,” an area in northern Maryland given in 1713 as a gift from Lord Baltimore to his wife. I paint this picture of her to explain that over her 88 years on this earth, she collected thousands of books, rare antiques, and enough family heirlooms to fill a 16-foot-by-8-foot storage container (which will come up again later in my story).
When my grandmother’s health started to fail, she moved in with my mother, bringing with her all of her belongings and furniture. We moved the contents of a 2,600-square-foot home into a 1,600-square-foot home that was already furnished. At the time of my grandmother’s death, my mother was already retired. I urged and pleaded with my mother to “address the stuff.” She would tell me that she was working hard at it, and she was, in a way. She meticulously wrapped every item in paper and plastic bags, spent thousands of dollars on plastic boxes and labels to “organize” everything, and never sold, donated, gifted, or threw away ANYTHING.
A couple of years ago, as a result of her failing health, my mother required frequent hospital and rehabilitation stays. Managing her health and her house became too much for me, and with her enthusiastic support, we moved her to a local continuing care community. The transition was wonderful for her and her health: her quality of life skyrocketed as a result of the easy access to activities, thoughtfully designed facilities, and onsite healthcare. Unfortunately, she did not improve enough to be able to deal with the 2,600 square feet of stuff (already jammed into a 1,600-square-foot home) that somehow had to now fit into a 700-square foot apartment. That would be my job, and the point of this story.
I had a lot to handle: the transition of my mother to the continuing care community, the sale of her home, and the disposal of the 2,600 square feet of her stuff. The sad result was that after we selected the items that would be moved into her small apartment and let friends pick and choose what they wanted, the next round of the process required five 30-yard dumpsters into which we would eventually throw away her things. It pained me to do this, as much of what we threw away had some value, but to properly arrange for her belongings to be disposed of via charities, yard sales, or auctions would require time and a knowledge of the items that I did not possess. What we were able to save from the dumpsters was still a sizable amount and became the symbol for the burden that I felt I had inherited: a 16-foot-by-8-foot storage container filled with antique furniture, over 1,000 antique books, seven trunks of china sets, 12 boxes of family photos and albums, and another 30 boxes of “heirlooms” (also known as “old things from relatives that I do not know what to do with but feel obligated to preserve”).
Now, almost 2 years and more than $4,000 in storage fees later, this symbol of my burden is the “hot button” issue of my life. Just thinking about it and the time and resources that have gone into it can illicit all kinds of anger toward both my parents and grandparents, as well as toward myself. This week I completed the emptying of the storage container and the termination of the $216-per-month drain on my bank account. I gave away the books (which made up a large amount of the volume in the storage unit) to someone who appreciated them and donated some of the furniture. The rest has been shoved into my attic or placed in a pile in my basement for me to reduce over time (most likely on my weekend nights over the next couple of months). The burden has not yet disappeared.
Despite the love I have for my mother and grandmother, I cannot deny the emotions I feel. For at least seven of the 10 years since my grandmother’s passing, neither my mother nor my grandmother sold, donated, or otherwise did anything to reduce the overabundance of things that had accumulated over time. They left that legacy to me (their son/grandson), who has a busy job and family of his own, including a baby and a two-year-old child.
No one knows your belongings better than you do. In preparation for your own death, ask your children what items of yours they might wish to have for themselves, and then make a plan for the rest of your belongings. If you are no longer using a particular item, sell or donate it to a place or person who will treasure and value that item. The belongings that you retain can continue to be preserved, but if sold, the money earned can be used to benefit your family, not burden it. I am in my thirties and feel so strongly about this that, as I continue to rehome the remainder of my grandmother’s and mother’s items, I am revaluating my own items and disposing of them as necessary. The legacy of this burden stops with me—how about you?

In MY opinion, anyway, this is the best!
Humorous, well researched, hands-on, documentation. It is a shame it is 4 hours long, for those not able or willing to spend 4 hours watching it. Yet as it’s title states, it is merely 1/3rd of the Holocaust claim. There is so much involved, as you should know if you looked at the extensive list here on hollowhoax.com in the link of the sidebar “About”, in which you can see plain as day, that 4 hours does not even totally deal with the “Tip of the Iceberg” on the pure fraud.
However, with that said, anyone, paying close attention to the full 4 hours of this video cannot possibly come away with the same belief in the Propaganda preached by Mainstream News and Schools and “Your Government”, and that I assure you!
He remains undercover and anonymous for his production too of this masterpiece.

If you have been struggling to find ways to improve your financial status, you should start looking into debt consolidation loans. These are available to consumers who are typically deemed as being high-risk. Although conventional lending institutions may not be willing to help you with your money problems, there are a number of companies that cater specifically to needs like your own.
There are a number of reasons why people should pursue these offers. Foremost among these is the fact that they help consumers to put their lives on the right track. Unresolved accounts can make it difficult for people to secure desirable positions with some of the best companies. Many of the top commercial organizations are now conducting comprehensive screening processes as part of their pre-employment procedures. Taking care of your financial issues will help you to make the right impression on prospective employers during these interviews.
It is also very stressful to deal with a lot of bills from different companies. By having your accounts consolidated, all of the money that you owe will be centralized. This way, you will only need to make one payment each month and this will prove far easier to manage. More importantly, many lenders will also do their best to ensure that you are paying the lowest amount possible on each of your accounts. Thus, even though these solutions are not free, they could help you to save a considerable amount of money.
Unresolved accounts can even be detrimental to your current career. Collectors can be very aggressive and they will often contact every number that they have on file. Thus, in addition to reaching out to you, your family members and your friends, these entities may even begin to contact your employers. Not only are these workplace disruptions embarrassing, but they will also paint the wrong picture concerning your personal ch aracter.
Although these financial solutions can be very helpful, it is important for consumers to remember that they are not all created equally. Some will cost more than others and some will provide a far greater range of benefits. You can use the Internet to learn more about the different products that are out. There are even many application processes that can be performed entirely online.
By securing debt consolidation loans, many people are able to enjoy higher quality lives. They can take care of all of their bills, put a stop to troublesome collection calls and start putting their negative spending habits behind them. This is a great opportunity to start rebuilding purchasing power and to plan for a healthier financial future.

Each of our fellow travelers had come to Iran despite great misgivings of family and friends. One person did not make the trip, prevented by serious family opposition to the adventure. Some heard from members of Congress and from other well-placed people who offered dire warnings. Nancy and I enjoyed the encouragement of our family. We are glad that we did not create anxiety for them. If we did, they did not let on. I guess they are used to us doing something a little crazy once in awhile. Whatever the risks, we were all rewarded.
Approximately 2.3 million people visit Iran each year, which is about the number of visitors Yellowstone National Park receives. The visitors include the Iranian diaspora, business people, and tourists. Travelers from the EU and the US are in the minority. The estimate of US visitors is between 2,000 and 7,000 and we encountered no other American tourists and only two European groups during our travels.
Our trip of 11 days, not counting travel to and from, gave us a good look at four major cities—Tehran, Yazd, Shiraz (without the wine of the same name), and Esfahan. On our visits to the cities, and at Persepolis, we encountered many Iranian people with the majority being energized young people living in the cities, going to college, or touring the historical sites. Iranians reacted with great curiosity wherever we went. On every occasion when we could engage in some conversation, the Iranians asked where we were from and expressed sincere affection for we Americans. “We love America” was heard often. Never did we hear harsh words, though sometimes we heard expressions of disgust with the current regime in Iran.
Although much has been made of Iran as a hotbed of Islamic Extremism, we saw no evidence nor was any mention made. It was pointed out that there are no Iranians in Guantanamo (this claim cannot be confirmed easily) and that Iran was one of the first to condemn the atrocity of 9/11. Despite the government’s positions and opposition to the US and the West, the people we met—hospitality staff, shopkeepers, people on the street, students, and tourists—were beyond friendly. The young people we encountered were curious, forthcoming, talkative, and genuinely friendly. There were so many contrasts and contradictions along our journey, but none stand out so memorably as the affectionate attitude of the people we met.

If you own an iOS device, the greatest roadblock to browsing the web you’ve ever run into has been Apple’s insistence not to build in native support for Adobe Flash, citing performance issues that the plugin would cause. While today’s development doesn’t change Apple’s stance, Adobe has developed a new technology that could, 4 years later, finally bring Flash content to all iOS devices, namely; iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Adobe announced a new version of Adobe Flash Media Server today, a product that allows developers to stream Flash content straight to a wide range of devices. Version 4.5, which is being unveiled today, finally enables users to play Flash content on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad without any sort of Flash add-on. How? It’s simple: instead of processing the Flash content locally on the device, all the content is rendered on a remote server and only then sent to browsers just like any regular HTTP stream, much like how Skyfire browser does it.
This process is similar to what other third-party tools have done in the past to avoid Apple’s restriction. CloudBrowse, an alternative browser for iOS, allows certain Flash content to be played back, something that was never possible in the past. The advantage of Adobe’s implementation is the fact that it won’t require any software to be installed on the device.
Keep in mind, however, that this is not a full implementation of Flash and won’t provide any other technology than plain old streaming video, no matter how well it might function. If you were hoping to finally be able to play Flash games on your iPad, this is not a dream come true: in fact, Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 is just an alternative way for developers to implement video streams, which can already be implemented by other means today. Also keep in mind that this new tool will only apply to websites that choose to implement it and won’t make existing Flash content magically work.
There are several editions of Flash Media Server, the lowest one of which being priced at $995. You can find out more about this product on Adobe’s product page.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Pencil Grip. All opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy.
The latter point is quite a game changer when it comes to classroom art or crafty playdates at home – no more waiting for masterpieces to dry before storing or giving back to the kids to take home!
So let’s see what they’re really like. My son and I eagerly opened our box of 24 Kwik Stix, which included 12 classic colors, 6 neon, and 6 metalix. Our first thoughts were “wow!” Huge bright bold colors on the paper with absolutely minimal effort!
To use, they feel like soft jumbo crayons. As soon as they are on the paper, you can touch them and not get a spot of color on your finger. They feel slightly waxy – again like crayons. But then they dry completely, just like paint.
My son’s first picture was of a pizza, and pizza box.
And yes, he used the paint sticks for writing, too!
My son and I were both really impressed, and we spent a happy afternoon experimenting with different color combinations and how they worked on different paper. With Halloween coming up, we both made some ghost pictures. F made his in white and I made mine in silver.
Then it was rainbow time! You can see that we had enough variety to do all 7 colors, he just forgot the indigo and went back and added it afterwards!
And then to finish he painted a snowman!
To illustrate three simple effects from the Kwik Stix, I made this little sample sheet. First is with the stick firmly down on the paper. The middle is lightly dragging the stick on the paper, and the third is using the edge, which is great for detail and text.
You can get packs of 6 Kwik Stix (either basic or metalix colors) in Target stores. All the other pack sizes (including the 24 pack that we tried) are available at Target.com.
Follow ThePencilGrip on Twitter or Facebook for updates!
These are so cool! I’m excited to try them for myself.

Panic disorder is a psychological condition that shows up in the form of sometimes violent physical symptoms. These symptoms, called panic attacks, can literally make the victim feel as though he or she is dying: rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating, dizziness, trembling, intense anxiety, a feeling of loss of control, and helplessness. Imagine what it would be like to jump out of an airplane only to find your parachute won’t open – that’s pretty close to what panic attack victims are feeling in the moment.
When the attacks occur regularly or appear to be caused by a specific set of circumstances, then panic disorder is the cause. There is no specific treatment for a panic attack, per se. But the underlying condition, panic disorder, can be treated with a combination of medications and psychotherapy . . .
What is panic disorder. What causes it. What to do about it if it happens to you. What to do if it happens to someone else.

The Eagles are now 2-0 thanks to Wentz going 21 of 34 for 190 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers in his first NFL road game. The Eagles headed into halftime with a 9-7 lead. In the second half they forced two turnovers in Chicago territory putting the game out of reach.
This is the second week in a row that the eagles’ offense and defense has balled out. However, it was against the browns and the bears who both are rather weak. Though Wentz has played great he has taken a lot of huge hits and looks like an injury waiting to happen.
The Eagles will take on the Steelers next week.

What’s New for the EEC in 2015?
Critical scholarship can be a slow process, but it’s worth it.
So much goes into a single volume of the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary—it’s a collaborative effort. But years of research and authorship are just the beginning.
Experts such as Wayne House (general editor), Bill Barrick (Old Testament editor), Hall Harris (New Testament editor), and Andrew Pitts (New Testament editor) work with the author to help develop their content and insight into what will be most helpful to you.
And that’s not all: each volume goes through copy editors, proofreaders, digital and print formatters, typesetters, designers, and electronic text developers. It’s an exciting process, and with each volume, we can’t wait to deliver it to you in print and in Logos.
Exodus: This volume is already available digitally in your Logos library if you have purchased the 44-volume Evangelical Exegetical Commentary. This volume will also be released in a two-volume print edition.
Esther: Like Exodus, Esther is also already available digitally in your Logos Library. It will also be released in print.
Jude: It’s almost there—the EEC academic editors have passed us Herbert Bateman’s finished Jude commentary for copy editing, formatting, and electronic text development. Look for this volume in the second quarter of 2015!
1 and 2 Samuel: We have 1 Samuel in hand for copy editing from our academic editors already, and 2 Samuel is nearly complete! Harry Hoffner and Bill Barrick are working through a few final touches, then it’ll be ready for review and copy editing. Look for it this coming fall!
Philippians: Like 2 Samuel, this is also very close! Mark Keown is working with Andrew Pitts and Hall Harris in the final developmental stages. Once they’re done, it will also be ready for final review and copy editing. Also watch for this in the coming fall!
Many other volumes are close to completion, too. Jeremiah, 1 and 2 Chronicles, and Ephesians have all been authored and await academic review and final developmental insight.
And the rest, of course, are all in varying stages of authorship. We are committed to this series and we can’t wait to release each volume. We hope they’re a blessing to your research and ministry.
Don’t miss out on the individual EEC volumes available now. Or, get the entire 44-volume collection to make sure you never miss a new volume!
Thank you! I think I speak for many when I say that I appreciate Faithlife providing an update on this exciting series. Looking forward to each volume as it is completed and available for download to Logos.
Enjoying this series so far and thankful for Logos' commitment to stick with the project. Along with Logos 6, this could become one of your greatest contributions to evangelicalism.
Lange’s Commentary Is Finally Here!

The purpose of the child day cares of the GFKB is to offer the children an environment in which they feel comfortable and secure. They are open to all children, regardless of why the parents want to bring their child to the day care.
We focus on the child's well-being and consider every child as an individual. We live with the child, do not manage and shape them but accompany them. We let the child have their own experience and promote his decision-making competence as far as we can be responsible for this.
We consider ourselves as an educational institution in which the children have the opportunity to expand their knowledge as well as their social and personal competences. The toddlers develop their thinking through interest-related actions. Early childhood education takes place when the children are involved in their social and physical environment. In this sense, education is equated with self-education. Integration and inclusion are self-evident tasks of our society. In our child day care, we take care of all children, regardless of their cultural and social background. We also look after children with special needs.
The cooperation with the parents is maintained via regular communication and is characterized by mutual respect and appreciation. We understand various types of family arrangements and do not judge any of those.
We think that teamwork means the capability of each individual to achieve together the team`s goals. We are aware of our role model and approach each-other with attention and respect. Our communication is open, honest, appreciative and transparent. We support each-other and learn from each-other. We enable good working conditions and promote a positive working environment.
The child day care Bambola offers 48 care places, including 15 infant places (up to and including 18 life months), which are considered as 1.5 places.
• three mixed-age groups for children between three months and five years.
• one infant group for children between three months and two years.
In order to prepare the child for their time in day care, an orientation period is needed for each child, which usually takes four weeks and takes place every day without interruption. The first two weeks of the orientation period are not billed. The remaining cost of the orientation is borne by the parents.
The healthy and balanced diet is one of the most important building blocks for the early child development. We pay great importance to a healthy diet and rely on the recommendations of the Swiss Society for Nutrition. For our meals, we offer seasonal fruits and vegetables, which are served several times a day and are, if possible, taken directly from the local farmers. For our meat dishes, we obtain the meat from a certified butcher from thesurrounding area and up to 95% Swiss meat. The meals are freshly daily prepared by our cook. We do not force children to eat.
The minimum attendance period for all children day care is two full days per week.
The child day care is open from Monday to Friday from 6:45am to 6:15pm and has 12 days of company holidays/year.
The child day care will also be closed on public holidays (Good Friday, Easter Monday, May 1st, Ascension, Whit Monday, August 1st, 1 + 2 Christmas Day and New Year`s Day).
23. + 24. + 27. + 30. + 31 December 2019 (=5 days).
24. + 28. + 29. + 30. + 31 December 2020 (=5 days).
6.45am Child day care opens.
7am – 9am Children are brought to day care.
8am – 8.30am Breakfast for the children present.
9am – 9.15am Welcome ritual.

Just happened across these values while setting up my 10key.
(I am cheating on the don’t load so I only pull the value when the file is highlighted) Note, on faster machines the –ipl is really nice!
Good point. A lot of the default config settings haven't been updated in over 3 years. I'll fix it in the next beta.

MASVINGO RURAL – Some 543 children from Zimuto area in Masvingo Rural District are beneficiaries of an outreach programme conducted by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education two weeks ago.
The programme headed by the District Schools Inspector (DSI) for Masvingo was to sensitise the community and remove barriers that hinder children from accessing education. These barriers include school fees, living with disabilities, lack of birth certificates, books school uniforms etc.
The DSI Ismael Chigaba took with him stakeholders from different Government departments for the outreach so that these could explain and solve the problems on the spot if necessary. The departments that were there are Ministry of Health and Child Care, Ministry of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare as well as organizations like National Aids Council (NAC), Child Line and Higher Life Foundation.
Villagers were however, not happy that the Registrar General’s department could not issue children with birth certificates during the outreach. They complained that there were hundreds of children in the area who did not have birth certificates and there were several reasons to this including that parents cannot afford transport to get the documents in Masvingo.
Chigaba said birth certificates could not be issued on the spot because parents needed to bring several documents which they did not have on them. He said he was arranging for the Registrar General’s department to go back on an arranged day and issue the document to pupils.
Masvingo District Registrar, Lawrence Mapara said they are going to facilitate birth certificates in the area when they get permission from the Registrar General.
“Each department wrote down the names of children who needed help. Those who could be helped on the spot were given help for example pupils who were out of school because they are disabled were allocated schools that they would go to.
The theme of the outreach was embracing learner diversity in schools.
A Zimuto resident, Angeline Maphosa (64) who is a guardian of two grandchildren aged 16 and 19 who are still in school, said she was disappointed by how the Government neglects them.
“I was happy that finally my 16 year old grandson is going to get a birth certificate so that he writes his O’ levels. We however, thought that Home Affairs would issue the document today but they didn’t. They however have taken down my grandchildren’s names,” said Maphosa.
