Though 102 km east of Melbourne, Warragul’s growth has always been closely tied to the state capital. The railway link in 1878 saw the township thrive, with its sawmills supplying Melbourne with wood for building. Dairying soon followed, and remains the region’s most important export, with higher yields than to be had in many other parts of Australia. One and a half hours to Melbourne by train, it is beyond comfortable commuting distance, so its population continues to grow modestly.
Warragul is a provincial town in West Gippsland. According to Bunce's Language of the Aborigines of the Colony of Victoria (1859) Warragul is an Aboriginal word meaning ferocious or wild.
The area was densely forested with swamps to the east and west. It was 1845 before a track was cut from Melbourne to Gippsland, skirting north of the swampy land. From 1867, a coach service operated on a more southerly route, now known as Old Sale Road. One of the staging posts was at Brandy Creek, about 9 km north of present Warragul. Brandy Creek was supposedly named after Squatter William Pearson threw a brandy bottle into the creek. A small township grew up there, with a post office, hotels, churches, banks, stores and houses.
From the early 1870s land was surveyed for selection around and south of Brandy Creek, and the township became the supply point for the selectors. However, the railway from Melbourne into Gippsland was surveyed to the south of Brandy Creek. A track was cut from Brandy Creek to the rail route, but once the line opened in 1878 the new township round the station rapidly eclipsed Brandy Creek which went into decline. By the next year, Warragul boasted four hotels, two general stores, a baker, butchers, blacksmiths, a shoemaker and a chemist.
From the 1880s there were numerous sawmills in the Warragul district, cutting sleepers, building timber, paving blocks, barrel staves, fence rails, shingles, palings and firewood. Wooden tramways radiated from the station for the transport of the timber. Warragul station was the halfway stop between Melbourne and Sale. With refreshment rooms and more railway staff it soon predominated over the neighbouring railway towns. A branch line was also laid from Warragul to Rokeby, to the north, in 1890, reaching Neerim South in 1892.
As the land was cleared of timber dairying became the main farming activity. The first butter factory was established south of Warragul in 1888. Some orchards, mainly apples, were planted and flax was grown during both World Wars. Some secondary industry also developed in the town. There was a cordial factory, linseed oil mill, brickworks and carriage makers in the early days. The butter factory in Warragul eventually produced mainly instant powdered milk. (Dairy processing is now centred at Darnum Park).
From the 1940s some clothing and textile manufacturers and a rope and twine factory were established, as well as general engineering and metal works. Several saleyards operated over the years, until in 1939 the shire rebuilt yards immediately south of the railway line. On sale day, Thursdays, a produce market also operated. An agricultural show had been run since 1885, and in the 1950s annual dairy festivals were also held. In the early 1960s the first Gippsland Field Day was held near Warragul. Now staged at nearby Lardner, Farm World attracts thousands of visitors to its agricultural exhibits.
The town grew steadily after World War II and growth continued into the new century. It is the centre for commercial, medical, educational and cultural activities in the region. The West Gippsland Hospital is supported by many specialist services. There are two State primary schools (1878, 1954), a State secondary college that began as an Agricultural High School in 1991, Catholic primary and secondary schools and an Anglican grammar school (1982). Warragul has a Gipps TAFE campus and campuses of the National Centre for Dairy Education and Education Centre Gippsland.
The town has an arts centre and houses the headquarters of the Regional Library Service. The attractive residential areas are sited on rolling hills, while some rural residential lots have developed around the outskirts of the town.
Dairying remains the major agricultural pursuit, the district supplying much of Melbourne’s whole milk. Beef cattle are also grazed and apples, potatoes, flowers, poultry and eggs are produced. A considerable part of the light industry in the town supports the farming sector, but textiles, greeting cards and furniture are also manufactured. The importance of the railway station has gradually declined. The electric train services introduced in the 1950s were replaced by diesel in the 1970s. Heavy road traffic has bypassed the town since a freeway was completed in the early 1990s. Train frequencies in morning and evening peak periods are 30 to 40 minutes for commuter workers to Dandenong or Melbourne.
A life-size bronze statue of Australian boxer Lionel Rose was unveiled in Queen Street Park Warragul, in 2010. Rose was the first Aboriginal Australian to win a world boxing title. The former bantamweight world boxing champion was born at Jacksons Track near Warragul and fought many of his early fights in Gippsland. He died in 2011.
In 2013 Victoria’s state planning minister released a planning blueprint that signaled population and employment growth in rural towns including Warragul.
Warragul was ranked as the fifth most livable regional area in Australia for families in 2014 by real estate valuation company RP Data who ranked suburbs and towns based on factors including affordable home prices, block sizes and proximity to schools.

WINNIPEG — With the unseasonably warm weather trend continuing for much of Manitoba, emergency personnel can’t stress enough for the public to stay away from waterways.
A safety demonstration held Thursday underscored that message on the Red River behind the Winnipeg Rowing Club. The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service held a rescue exercise to show the dangers of thin ice and how quickly someone can find themselves in trouble.
“All water and ice rescue calls carry a degree of risk for our members,” said WFPS Chief John Lane.
The river’s current is another concern, with sections of the Assiniboine River rarely freezing until mid to late January due to the constant flow underneath the ice surface, which may be razor thin in one spot and a foot deep in another.
The service responds to about 200 water and safety calls annually.

Ramayana is popularly known as ‘Adi Kaavya’ (the first literature). It consists of 24000 verses in 7 Chapters (called Kaandas). It is extremely popular among Hindus, Buddhists and Jains in India and other countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Burma and Malaysia.
1. Baala Kaanda : The birth of Rama, his childhood and his marriage to Seeta.
2. Ayodhya Kaanda: Preparations for Rama’s coronation and his exile to the forest.
6. Yuddha Kaanda: The epic battle between Rama and Ravana.
Shata shloki Ramayana ends with a Phala Shruti narrating the benefits of chanting and listening to this hymn.His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji of Avadhoota Datta Peetham has sonorously chanted these 100 verses in the audio album “Shata Shloki Ramayana” in the Ragas Mohana, Charukeshi, Shuddha Dhanyasi, Hamsadhwani, Sriraga, Purvikalyani, Peelu, Sallapam and Madhyamavati.

Laurylyan, you make some excellent points, and I personally do agree with much of what you're saying. First let me just say that I do not agree with SOPA/PIPA. While the intentions are good, the methods and means suggested have little hope helping the problem.
The statement in the original post was this: "So yeah, not every person who downloaded it would have bought it, but even if one in a hundred did it still adds up to a massive amount of lost revenue." If you're talking about a small number of people participating, then I might agree with you. We're talking about well into the hundreds of thousands of people in a relatively small industry. So even that 1% is still a large number of lost sales. We'll have to agree to disagree on this point.
The problems with selling online are as massive as the benefits. First, the likelihood and speed of infringement is much faster because the ability to abuse is much easier - there's no work in forwarding an email or uploading a pdf file as there is with a paper chart. While the costs of printing and shipping are gone, the cost of security measures increases and it is just as, or in some cases, more expensive. And of all those we've tested to date, I've managed to get around the security placed on them in a matter of a few minutes and remove it or find a way to still share the file without compromising anonymity, though the ways I've done it I would rather not discuss publicly.
There was also something I saw mentioned on Martina's Yahoo group about the reselling of digital files. I can't speak to the laws anywhere else, but in the US and Canada, digital files are excluded from first sale doctrine. First sale doctrine being that you can resell an item you have legally purchased. It is limited to tangible items - movies and software on DVD, music on CD, books in print form and in this case, charts in print form. Digital versions of the same - direct downloads of software, mp4, mp3, ebooks and pdf charts are excluded from this unless specific permission is granted by the copyright holder. This is for several reasons, the two I can recall without looking it up being that first, when you purchase in this format you are not purchasing the actual file - that is to say that you don't own it, you are merely purchasing a license to use it. The other main point stressed by the copyright office for this reasoning is that because the responsibility falls to the seller to delete or destroy their original file after a sale is made, there is too much room for abuse. Whether people agree or disagree with this, it is the law here as it currently stands. It is of course up to each designer how they want to deal with it.
The biggest point to note is that those selling in this fashion, digital vs. print are not selling any more than those who don't. The fact is that the designer/distributor/shop model still guarantees the best sales to costs ratio for most of us. Most companies who sell in both methods, retail and wholesale, sell at a higher volume to distributors and shops than individual direct sales. There are only a few who sell higher volumes in pdf format. The reason for this? Because the average stitcher still prefers to go to a shop to buy their supplies. The average stitcher buying their supplies is not a technological wizard and many still resist shopping or buying online. A good example of this is in my own local area, where I live and design and yet almost none of the stitchers in this area had heard of me until the release of March/April's Just Cross Stitch. Why? Because I did most of my sales and communications online and that is just unheard of for people around here. Balk at it if you like, but the bulk of people who purchase are not doing so direct from the designer - yet. Those who do shop online still tend to purchase from an online shop rather than direct, I'm guessing from my own purchasing patterns, that is because they like to order supplies as well, which in a lot of cases can only be purchased from a shop, so it's easier to order it all in one place. While the number of internet shoppers is growing, the old method of distribution is STILL the best way to ensure sales, so we need to maintain the current model while exploring new possibilities. At the current time in the current market, cutting out the middle man is NOT a solution, as it does remain the best sales vehicle for designers.
Some of us have discussed things like centralized secure servers for shops to use for purchasing everything from charts to supplies. The charts they would print themselves, the supplies they would have colour cards on hand for customers to choose from and then the supplies ordered would ship directly to the consumer. It's a great idea that would get shops new items much more quickly and allow them to access a greater range of products than they can currently offer. It's also a good compromise in that it maintains to some degree, the current sales model - a stitcher goes into a shop, picks out a design and materials and buys it (in person or online) - while introducing a less costly way to distribute charts and materials. But it also has a lot of issues that make it difficult to govern. Things like quality control are an excellent example - who is to say that each shop will use high quality materials for all their printing to guarantee that each customer everywhere gets the same quality chart. It also relies on the willingness of designers, dyers and other manufacters to participate. And the biggest, who is going to pay for setting up and implementing this model?
The reason I've been researching all of this is because I do plan to start offering my charts direct, but I'm trying to find the best and most secure method to do so.
To your comments about different standards - I HAVE lived in those shoes and not so long ago. I went without a lot of things and had to make conscious decisions as to whether to buy groceries or pay for my hydro because I couldn't do both. In one instance my mother bought me supplies to stitch a model as my birthday gift. Thankfully we made it through that period, but I still do go without lots of things to be able to balance what I love and what I earn and am still FAR from well off. We still do without things like cell phones, satellite and cable, dinners out, going out on "dates" in exchange for enjoying our hobbies. But I digress. I have to admit to finding that reasoning a little off - if these are people who can't afford to eat, how can they afford to pay for the internet to download charts? In a lot of these cases, these are NOT the people we're talking about. Many of the people we're talking about are purchasing hand dyed threads and fabric, expensive stitching stands and STILL downloading illegal copies of charts. I see the discussions on these sites all the time about silk threads and linens and the like - so claiming hardship in cases like these is more than a little hypocritical on their part.
As far as products declining in price after a period of time, there are reasons that that isn't as feasible in this industry as it is in others. In some cases, like in technologies, the cost of production goes down after manufacturers find new and more efficient ways of producing, or because the technologies become quickly obsolete and are replaced by newer and faster products. In our case, the cost of production doesn't decrease over time, but increases as the cost of paper, ink and shipping increase. I can see it being feasible as more designers make the transition to or addition of selling online, but with the current model it isn't. When it still costs us just as much or more to produce as it did when it first came out, it won't happen, apart from shops putting older charts on sale to clear out old inventory. I don't disagree with you here, I'm just telling you why you won't see it happen anytime soon.
I completely agree with you about charts going out of print. While I did give reasons that it happens, that is not to say I agree with the practice, just that I understand why. I'm all for designers re-issuing old books and designs that I missed out on the first time around that I would love to buy. As a designer who does my own printing and is working towards making direct online sales an option, it's very easy for someone like me to keep everything always available. However for a really popular designer, it can be difficult to keep up with printing, shipping, shows, model stitching, designing and everything else this entails, so they choose the option of using professional print services. Having just printed several hundred charts in the last week while still trying to work, design and all the other things I do every day, this was not a quick or easy feat, so I can completely understand why a designer would choose to go this route. I have my reasons for doing it my way, they have their reasons for doing it theirs. Here though, is a perfect case for coming up with suggestions or alternatives to designers rather than people just complaining about it. Perhaps suggesting that once a design is no longer popular enough to justify using a print service they simply print on demand themselves or offer it in another format. Some might agree to do it, some may not, that is their decision. If a chart was originally offered as a limited edition, it's highly unlikely this will happen. Sometimes the designer no longer has the files to reproduce the chart again (yes, this does happen). Some may be loathe do it because they can't reproduce at the same quality as the professionally printed version that was originally sold because they don't have the equipment to do it. And some may be happy to do it when and if they can. So like I say, while I won't be retiring charts personally, I can understand their reasons.
Regarding libraries - they don't buy books for the same cost that you or I do, they pay a much larger fee - much like a DVD rental store pays a higher cost for a DVD they will rent out than for one they will sell. I don't know exactly what the cost they pay is, but as I understand it, it's much higher than normal wholesale or retail to include royalties. Also, making the working copy to stitch from is only legal as long as they keep the book in their possession as well - as soon as the book is returned to the library, it is illegal to keep the working copy.
As to the Russian group, I don't know all of the details from either side so I can't and won't comment on it. You would have to speak to the designer in question to find out why they declined, not just the group who wanted their designs.
I completely agree with you on the point of designers limiting charts to one use. It's not a common practice, that I can tell you, and it's just plain silly to expect people to comply.
I'm all for change, believe me. I'm open to new ideas and new methods and means, especially those that make things easier for me. But the plain fact is, as I said earlier, that the current model of selling still outperforms online direct sales to such a huge degree for most designers it is unlikely to change in the very near future. With this scenario you have to maintain a delicate balance. The best and fastest way to grow your business in the current state of the market REMAINS through shops - brick and mortar OR online. While you may agree or disagree with this practice you can't deny that the most popular designers in the world are not the ones selling only independently via the internet, but those whose charts are on store shelves. To keep your charts on store shelves you walk a fine line - if you make the changes to keep up with new sales strategies you run the risk of alienating those shops who have always supported you. If you don't make the changes you run the risk of alienating stitchers who want those alternatives. That is literally the bottom line.
Once again I am totally in awe of the amount of thought and research you've put into this topic.
It really is thought-provoking and definitely needs debating in as wide a forum as possible.
I think the hardest things for the "stitcher on a sofa" to get their heads round are the scale of the problem and just how/why a pdf is different to a hard copy chart.
Sorry, Had some rough days with work because fools day activated bugs on some of my customers computers so didn't had time to write an answer.
I'll try to write a full and proper reply in the coming days :) when things will calm down a little.
Diane, I understand where you are coming from. I do not want to see our art fade out but am afraid it already is. My LNS closed 6 years ago and I have no shop within 100 miles. My friend bought me a chart from Elegant Stitch and of course he didn't get everything. I usually got it from the designer directly. I called her and she gave me the third degree that she could not be sure I got it from Lois (I had receipt) and it could be illegal. This came from a designer I have been dealing with for years. My friend order this for me as I was taking him to chemo treatments to help relieve the stress of his wife. I am proud that even everything he as going through he thought about me. I tried to explain and even faxed the receipt and she would not do it. I understand the piracy but when you start penalizing your customers who buy legit am just not going to buy anything else from her. Bob died on 12/23 and I am glad that he thought of me even though he was so weak. This needs to be handled in a different way as the honest customers are really getting frustrated and I have come to the conclusion to not buy from those who keep harping. I don't like being critized when in 32 years of stitching I have bought my charts legally.

Back in 2013 Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the then-FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015. As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism. Among them were two organizations— Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—named by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing case. CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine.

Welcome to our third ICEC newsletter – corresponding to our third research year in ICEC. Since the last newsletter, we have made major steps and are happy to be able to update you on our latest work. Besides reports on our fieldwork and experiences with the concept of “space of encounter”, you can expect an insight into the policy workshop that took place in September 2015 in Stockholm. For the first time, the ICEC team invited a larger round of policymakers and stakeholders from Sweden, The Netherlands and Vienna to discuss and develop a common understanding of living together in diverse neighbourhoods. Constructive feedback, critical thoughts and fresh ideas are now part of our ongoing analysis to achieve one major aim: Developing results that are of value both for policymakers and for academia.
What makes people meet across age, gender, and ethnicity at the neighbourhood level?
What initiatives are successful in making these encounters come about?
How does participation in local integration measures and initiatives impact neighbourhood belonging of local residents?
What can policymakers learn from that?
The county council commissioner was not the only elected participant at the workshops. The presidents or vice presidents of the City District Boards of Enskede-Årsta-vantör (Rågsved) and of Skärholmen were also there. The workshop included preliminary results from the three city research teams in Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Vienna and practical experience of running projects in the neighbourhoods, as well as discussion sessions with participants about the three key dimensions in the ICEC project, namely social embeddedness, co-responsibility and place attachment.
The point of departure for the workshop included preliminary results from the three city research teams in Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Vienna. With three neighbourhoods in three cities and two local initiatives in each neighbourhood, it comes as no surprise that the findings point in more than one direction.
In Vienna, while findings do indicate an impact on social embeddedness from participation in local measures, there were also some surprising findings. For instance, the neighbourhood may not always be as important for residents as originally thought. Rather, social ties within ethnic communities across the city or contacts based on education and social class do. Residents live side-by-side, however conflict free existence appears to be due to avoiding social contact. Thus, if the policy aim is interethnic co-existence, there is need for efforts to go from the current conflict-free situation to create neighbourhood attachment and co-responsibility.
In Amsterdam, findings indicate that inward and outward group formations in the neighbourhoods also depend on most dominant group(s) in the neighbourhood. There are long term ethnic Dutch residents voicing a sense of bereavement and general sense of abandonment, while there are also diversity seekers among the ethnic Dutch. Among the non-ethnic Dutch diversity is appreciated as a concentration of their own group or non-ethnic Dutch but not diversity per se. In policy terms, the Amsterdam findings indicate that establishing an inclusive sense of ‘we’ is both labour-intensive and a continuous process. Participation can intensify social relations in the neighbourhood, but there are both positive and negative ways, depending on whether bridging or bonding forces prevail.
In Stockholm, a recurrent finding is related to how residents respond to the neighbourhood’s reputation in terms of place attachment and social embeddedness. While local initiatives aim to bridge gaps between different groups, and do so successfully, the neighbourhood reputation is one reason for strengthened bonds and social ties among citizens in the neighbourhood itself. The “reputation” thus affects the degree of place attachment and residents react differently to it; proactively through getting involved, passively mainly due to them living in the neighbourhood due to financial conditions, or they disagree with reference to own personal experience.
Minimal and maximal involvement: How active is good enough and what is wrong with consumptive participation?
Residents want/need more institutional support, institutions expect/demand more ‘active citizenship’.
Blurring the boundary between volunteer and employee: How can active residents be supported to avoid overburdening?
“Some initiatives for specific groups can be of great importance, but it may cause other groups to be jealous”.
Jeroen Slot further underlined the importance of good access to information and service in the neighbourhoods, especially when there is a lack of participation. In those areas the neighborhood is a natural start.
Gerhard Berger, City of Vienna, and Julia Guirardi-Hoog mentioned pressure on public space as a source of conflict in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods as more people live in smaller apartments. There may be then potentially more conflicts in the public space between citizens with different needs.
Testimonials from project managers on running projects, such as Mia Stavling, head of Öppna förskolan, Rågsved, Nihad Subasic, president of Swedish Mekteb Skärholmen, and Emine Afacan Aldirmaz, founder of Hanimeli a sewing course for women in Vienna, used the preliminary findings as a basis for the discussion session. The mix of participants fostered discussions that quickly developed from the initial theoretical framework to a practical perspective of implementation in the day-to-day reality. More specifically, the participants discussed how social embeddedness, co-responsibility, and place attachment can affect neighbourhood belonging.
Carlos is a 32-year old Stockholmian, born and raised in Vårby gård, a southern suburb of Stockholm. Currently running his own research and consultancy company, Carlos helps different stakeholders to engage in genuine dialogue with citizens in neighbourhoods across Sweden. One of his specialities is the million programme neighbourhoods. A field he is particularly qualified to address as he grew up in one of them. These neighbourhoods, part of the million programme, were built between 1965 and 1975 in most cities and towns all over the country. Their purpose was to address the lack of housing at the time. Some of these neighbourhoods today face huge challenges both in terms of a needs for reinvestment in the physical urban design and upkeep, as well as a relatively significant clustering of poor households. A number of neighbourhoods have also received many refugees coming to Sweden over the last half century, thus adding to their diversity. Both Rinkeby and Skärholmen belong to the million programme neighbourhoods, while Rågsved was built in the late 1950s.
Why are you, Carlos, so interested in the million programme neighbourhoods?
As a teenager, I started noticing that society’s perception of the areas that I had spent my life in were very different to the perception we who had the personal experience had of them. This raised my interest in investigating how things really were, prejudice and rumours aside. And since then most of my research, since eight years also developed from journalism to deeper studies with Miklo, aim to bring clarity to how things really are, struggling against the reified perceptions of society as a whole but also from experts, politicians, journalists and researchers.
Tell us about some of you projects?
Right now I am involved in the regional planning of Stockholm regarding social resilience and also since two years of service in a northern municipality called Piteå, that back in 2013 decided to increase their influx of migrants, regardless of how the future would develop. It is really interesting to be a part of as it is obvious that their clear vision of the future – assuming two years ago that the levels of refugees seeking asylum in Sweden would probably rise – are now helping them a lot. They were prepared for a trebling of migrants from abroad and aren’t experiencing the same stress as other Swedish municipalities. Instead of hoping the influx will diminish they are just happy that they didn’t have to make more effort to make them come to Piteå.
You moderated the workshop in Rågsved. What do you consider to be the main achievement of that workshop?
The possibility to collaborate in developing ideas and insights cross-sectionally, in the mixed group that was present and sharing ideas. It was a good dynamic discussion and participation by all the different type of participants was good.
This was our first ICEC policy workshop. For the second one in Vienna, what would you like to focus more on?
With a bit more time for discussions we can develop more ideas and insights and more answers on the questions addressed by the ICEC project. One way to do it is to let the participants themselves form questions that develop when taking part of the research findings, and form their own stances. Also more diversity among participants, even though it was pretty diverse, we lacked representatives from the local communities we were discussing. If we manage to attract more representatives from the local communities, there will be even more dynamic discussions.
What do you bring with you from your other projects that you think could benefit the ICEC work?
Piteå, as I mentioned, is very interesting as they are and have been proactive in a way that makes life much easier for their practitioners and politicians. Also, our studies made throughout the years about Stockholm’s million programme can give pretty clear indications on the levels of neighbourhood belonging and willingness to co-exist that different areas show in both quantitative and qualitative studies.
During the 1950s and early 1960s, Rågsved was mostly inhabited by in-movers, especially then well-paid blue-collars, from the inner city, particularly from the now-gentrified Södermalm with its bad housing conditions at that time, and Rågsved was then considered as a step upwards in the residence career in the late 1950s.
Rågsved is not a so-called Million Home Area as it is predates the programme. While Rågsved was built, an industrialisation style dominated the construction, and this is visible at the houses located to the north of the subway and was also in many ways considered as a Million Home Programme district where modernism made its mark, with large housing blocks. Even here the image of unemployment, social benefits, drugs, (youth) alienation and low education level was established.
The Million Home Programme changed the social structure of Rågsved too and the new inhabitants consisted to a large degree of Swedish drop-outs and immigrants that changed the image of Rågsved. Some of those interviewed were not satisfied with the situation today and say they visit the centre only for shopping and travelling somewhere else with the subway. How representative those kinds of people are will be checked in the complementary and finalising interviews. Despite the high proportion of foreign-born people, the number is lower than in the other two neighbourhoods. Many of the social problems might be a consequence of the bad reputation from the 1980s and much is now done to reverse this image and even to find a way out of the problems.
The ICEC city teams are continuing their fieldwork in the selected areas. In three neighbourhoods per city, they interview local residents and practitioners on their experience of the neighbourhood and neighbourhood diversity, and their sense of neighbourhood belonging. Throughout, the focus is on the ability of selected neighbourhood interventions to engage and empower residents.
In Amsterdam, the research team has almost completed fieldwork in the first two study areas (Van der Pekbuurt and Slotermeer-Noordoost) and is now conducting interviews and participating in activities in the third neighbourhood (H-buurt). In H-buurt we visited a newly-started neighbourhood centre which provides space and resources for residents to create their own activities. The result is a colourful mix of activities and participants. For example, on Mondays and Fridays a makeshift hair salon is organised, while other participants are busy cooking, sewing, or just sitting and chatting.
The Stockholm team is also busy doing interviews in their third case study neighbourhood, Skärholmen. An emerging picture from the ongoing fieldwork is that while many residents feel at home in their neighbourhood, they also experience exclusion in other parts of Stockholm. Rejecting the negative image of their neighbourhood and working together to improve it were thus found to be motivations for taking part in neighbourhood activities among some residents.
The Vienna team finished fieldwork in the second neighbourhood (Gumpendorf) in July, having interviewed 43 residents and 5 stakeholders. Fieldwork in the third neighbourhood (Breitensee) was also concluded in October and involved interviews with 40 residents and 5 stakeholders. A particular highlight in this neighbourhood was the community garden in Matznergarten, one of the studied interventions. In this garden, residents came together to organise cooking workshops and other activities in order to foster interethnic co-existence.
Our main space of encounter in the Breitensee neighbourhood was Matznerpark. We held interviews in the summer of 2015, the hottest in Vienna since records began. Thus, in the evening the park was highly frequented by a diverse crowd of people. Initially, we chose the fenced-off dog area for initiating contacts with potential interviewees. This space offered several advantages: many dog owners were there for a longer period of time and often got bored, which made them generally more open to communication as well as full interviews. Dog owners also provided a socio-economic and socio-demographic cross-section of the Breitensee population, although people with a migration background and especially Muslims were underrepresented.
After some time it became clear that Matznerpark visitors were a more or less stable group. Thus, to broaden the sample we decided to also approach respondents in Ludwig-Zatza-Park. In this park, which consists of a small green area and adjacent playground near Breitensee railway station, we found specific but diverse groups of people: alcoholics, unemployed, ‘problem’ youngsters, but also ‘average citizens’ waiting for the suburban railway. Thus, the categories of respondents contacted there differed from those in Matznerpark. Among this group, youth (especially with a migration background) were hard to approach due to language and generational barriers. Unemployed respondents could sometimes be convinced to participate with modest ‘incentives’, such as an invitation to a beer.
It was especially interesting for us to observe how individuals used these spaces over a longer period of time. This made obvious how certain groups and individuals (for example, dog owners and dominant youth groups) came to claim ‘ownership’ over these spaces and kept an eye on things in ‘their’ space. As the interviewer visited the parks repeatedly, it was possible to talk to the same people more than once and develop basic social relationships. Some respondents had to be approached several times before they agreed to be interviewed. Repeated contact facilitated developing shared understandings and some people were even willing to tell very private stories. Moreover, approaching people in ‘their’ spaces gave respondents the feeling of being an ‘expert’ on Breitensee, which usually proved to be a successful strategy.
The team members of the ICEC project have been very active in disseminating research findings at diverse international conferences in the last months and already have plans y for the next months. Julia Dahlvik and Myrte Hoekstra presented a comparative paper at the conference “Migrants in the city” at the University of Sheffield (UK) in October 2015, focusing on the findings from the first neighbourhood case studies in Amsterdam and Vienna. Also in October, Yvonne Franz and Julia Dahlvik presented findings on the Viennese ULL ‘Matznergarten’ at the conference on “Green Urban Commons” in Vienna. The presentation focused on the potential of community gardens as spaces of encounter and co-responsibly organised activities in super-diverse neighbourhoods. In December 2015, Myrte Hoekstra will be presenting at a conference on “Migration and New Local Governance” at the University of Poitiers, France. The paper, written with Daniel Rauhut and Josef Kohlbacher, includes a comparison of city-specific understandings of diversity and integration policy in Amsterdam, Vienna and Stockholm. In spring 2016, Fenne Pinkster and Myrte Hoekstra will host a session at the Annual Conference of the AAG in San Francisco on “Experiencing difference: Contestations and negotiations over place in super-diverse neighbourhoods”; they will also present a paper based on findings from fieldwork in the Van der Pekbuurt district of Amsterdam.
JPI Urban Europe has produced short videos giving an introduction to the projects they fund, and ICEC is, of course, one of them.
ICEC knowledge: Did you know?
Do I feel attached to this place?
Place attachment means a sense of belonging, a place where you enjoy living or spending your time. Urban design of open public space can play an important role in this respect as it can promote a resident’s or user’s identification with a place or space. This was one of the points discussed among practitioners and researchers at the ICEC workshop in Stockholm. Some participants argued that public space needs to be reinvented to promote place attachment: some of the public spaces are no longer used because residents’ needs have changed.
Co-responsibility means different things in different national contexts: while in Austria it refers to residents and practitioners working together, in the Netherlands it implies handing over responsibility for maintenance to residents and thereby reducing the government’s responsibility. In addition, there are different approaches to promoting co-responsibility: some are based on bottom-up organisation, while others follow a top-down strategy. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches were discussed in the workshop.
On the one hand, it can be observed that those who get active in a self-organised, bottom-up initiative are often highly educated, homogenous groups that are used to demanding services from the local administration. On the other hand, residents are often glad when their neighbourhood receives attention from policy makers through the creation of a top-down initiative. In both cases it can be difficult to reach and include interested people; to reach immigrant groups often means overcoming language barriers. Nevertheless, residents should be involved in long-term decision-making and planning even though it is often a complex process which takes long time. At the same time, small projects can be implemented on the everyday leve,l but a long-term vision and funding security is vital for creating co-responsibility. Moreover, co-responsibility can also be enhanced by offering activities which focus on a common fields of interest, such as parenting, community movie screenings, or cooking.
Social embeddedness refers to the resident’s social ties, including the depth and frequency of contacts with others. Different characteristics such as gender, age and ethnicity are also taken into account when we analyse social embeddedness. One important question in this respect is how to create meeting-places that function as bridges between different groups? Planning departments should play a more active role in designing low-threshold ‘spaces of encounter’ which promote the coming together of people on an everyday basis.

For work that may produce electric arcs, employers and workers need to know what factors can affect workers' exposure to heat from the arc. These factors can be particularly important when high exposures need to be reduced, or when conditions that can create new hazards need to be avoided.
One such condition that is often overlooked when selecting PPE and FR clothing is cold, in addition to the more frequently encountered condition of heat stress. The effects of these environmental stressors are greatly impacted by the FR clothing that may be required for differing levels of exposure in different climates. For additional information on this topic, see OSHA's Safety and Health topics page on Heat Stress.
For example, doubling a person's distance from a potential arc, by using a longer live-line tool, would result in a worker receiving approximately one-quarter of the original heat exposure; tripling the distance would result in approximately a nine-fold decrease in heat exposure, etc. Use longer live-line tools and distance yourself from the hazard.

I shall address the entertainment of the evening prior – the film known as Avatar. Common, popular culture has embraced this entertainment in the belief that it is fantasy. For most, for many, it is indeed the dream, that which is most desired for life upon this planet – oneness, love, caring, respect – for the self, as well as all that is around the self, understanding that life is precious and that consciousness, whether within an animal or human, is important.

داده های باستان شناسی نشان می دهد قدمت پرپین آلا به اولین هزاره قبل از میلاد مسیح بر می گردد.
از زمان بقراط ، پرپین آلا به عنوان داروی دیورتیک ، ضد انگل و مسهل استفاده شده است.مصریان باستان از این گیاه در درمان نارسایی قلبی وسایر بیماری های قلب استفاده می کردند.
در میان ۱۳۰۰۰گیاه شناخته شده ، کمتر از ۲۰ مورد از آنها بیشترین نیازهای غذایی ما را تامین می کنند که پرپین آلا جزء آنهاست.
قبل از مصرف این مکمل با پزشک خود مشورت کنید.
در صورت تمایل ، قبل از مصرف این کپسول ،به مدت ۳ روز هر روز افشره لیمو حاوی نیم اونس آب لیموی تازه در ۱ لیتر آب را مصرف کنید. در روز چهارم یک کپسول ۵۰۰ میلی گرمی پرپین را با صبحانه بخورید ،اینکار را ۴ هفته ادامه دهید. سپس می توانید آن را به ۲ کپسول در روز افزایش داده وتا ۶ماه مصرف کنید.
commonly refer toPurslane (also known as Portulaca Oleracea) as having been brought to North America from Europe by man; however, archaeological data indicates Purslane seeds dating back to the first Millennium B.C. having been discovered at an archaeological site at Salts Cave, Kentucky.
Purslane for heart failure and heart disease.
underutilized plants, such as Purslane offer better nourishment than the major crops.
It is recommended that you work closely with your physician when initiating any significantchange in diet, including food supplements.
Before starting to take Purslane, add a halfounce of freshly-squeezed lemon juice to aliter of filtered water and drink this dailyfor at least three days. Optionally, youcould take two 400mg capsules of parsleytwice daily with meals for at least three days.
Continue taking the parsley capsules or the lemon/water mixture for at least three tosix weeks. On the fourth day, take one500mg capsule of Purslane with breakfastor if you have a sleep disorder, take with asnack before bedtime. Continue for fourweeks then increase to two Purslane capsulesa day for six months or as needed.
Upset stomach: eat one stick of celery or take two capsules of acidophilus before a meal or take one capsule of bromelain after a meal.
Loose bowels: take two to four 500mg capsules of psyllium husks (hulls) with the evening meal.
take four 400mg capsules of parsley twice a day with meals.
Bloating: open the capsule(s) of Purslane, add to one ounce or half-ounce of water and drink after meal.
Constipation: take two 400mg capsules of cascara sagrada once a day as needed.

Cooking at Café D: Dumpster Dive, Not Quite Dead Yet, and a Sneak Preview!
Dumpster Dive, Not Quite Dead Yet, and a Sneak Preview!
Hubby and I found a little dumpster dived chair on the way home from seeing John Denver in concert. In a fashion.
We had a great time, btw.
The fact that the highlighter is deceased didn't sway me from snatching up the tickets last November as a Valentine's surprise.
I mean, come on! There's NO WAY my honey would have guessed... "I bet you bought us John Denver concert tickets!"
Then he realized that seeing JD in concert was indeed an unfulfilled item on his bucket list.
And, once we got past the whole dead thing, it was a great time. His estate gave permission for some of his original band members to tour with a video of mashed up live concert appearances.
So, I decided that the dumpster dived chair would make a handy holding spot for my current reading list. I'm in the middle of a few good books. See that one on top? I'm THRILLED to be reading an advanced copy of Shauna Niequist's soon to be released book "Bread & Wine." I'm loving it.More on that soon!
Or, what's your most recent dumpster dive?
Or, what's the latest concert you've attended where the artist was deceased? LOL!

I loved this spread in the August j.crew (above is a scanned copy). Sometimes inspiration can hit you so randomly, and I'm completely inspired by the look of this room (aside from all the crumpled bits of paper everywhere...), so I'm using it as a base for the look of our office and loft in our house: darkish furniture mixed with light pinks and browns.
Earlier this summer I scored a look-alike of that Danish teak chair at the Michigan State surplus. Now I just need to recover the seat and voila! The start to my j.crew inspired room.
LOVE ... love the cords + the chair.
Very nice start to your J.crew inspired room!
This is a great room to be inspired by. I love these colors together. The pinks and browns are so soft, yet not too girly.

International business students from Sheffield Hallam University are flying high after a visit to one of the world’s leading aerospace giants in France.
Eleven students studying for an MSc in International Business were invited to Airbus in Toulouse by Nick Pearman, vice president of business strategy for Airbus, and a former Sheffield Hallam University business studies student.
The students visited the final assembly line for the technologically-advanced A350 aircraft and took part in an educational seminar about the life cycle of an aircraft from concept and design to production. They also learnt about how the worldwide supply chain is managed and the essential benefits of international collaboration in business.
The students spent five days in France and also visited the Toulouse School of Management where they met fellow business students from around the world.
Dr Rondy de Silva, course leader and senior lecturer in international business at Sheffield Business School, who organised the trip said: “It was a transformative experience for our students who got to see international business in action. They learnt that parts of an aircraft come from all over the world and gained an insight into the world of international business collaboration and the importance of global business relationships in achieving success.
Nick Pearman, vice president of business strategy for Airbus, said: “I was keen to show the students the importance of working together across an international spectrum. Airbus has been successful by firstly working as an integrated European company, and then by extending that integration vision worldwide.
Student Roxana Ana Maria Toropoc, aged 25, said: “The visit to the Airbus manufacturing plant in Toulouse was an amazing opportunity for all the students. The tour helped me to gain a better knowledge of airline production, logistics, innovation and competition and gave us an in-depth, practical insight for one of the modules that we are currently studying.
“Airbus staff explained the company’s fascinating history and it was exciting seeing the whole process from the plans on paper to touring the plant at one of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers.
“I was so impressed and interested to find out more about the complex logistics, particularly how some pieces of the aircraft are transported to the final assembly line, from boat convoys to the outsize aircraft.
“The final assembly line was the most captivating for all of us, we could see every single stage of the aircraft manufacturing process for A380 and A350 models.
“I also learned how global issues can affect such a massive industry and the trip made me re-evaluate my future plans and aspirations.
The students applied for financial assistance from Go Global to help fund their trip.
Sheffield Hallam is rated as one of the top Universities in Europe for the ‘applied’ real-world learning opportunities available to its students.
It is also home to the UK’s largest modern business school.

If you’re job hunting, have you heard that Linkedin is the tool most commonly used by businesses, Headhunters and Recruitment agencies to find candidates online? Surprisingly many jobseekers I talk to either haven’t heard of it, or if they have they didn’t know how important it is to have a good profile.
Headhunter Martin Ellis has also written a brilliant blog (as always!) about Linkedin, you can read it here. I never fail to chuckle at his words, but what he says is so true! Now I’d like to share my thoughts with you and make you aware how important it is to have a Linkedin account and how to use it!
Ok, so you’re preparing for your job search and you’re contemplating getting professional help with your CV. Of course it’s good to have a CV as a paper document and it helps enormously to have something to refer to when applying for a job, whether online or not. However your online version is, if anything more important…… why? Simply because many recruitment agencies, headhunters and potential employers conduct their search for candidates online, so if you’re on Linkedin but your profile is poor or worse, you don’t have an account, you’re missing out!
There are numerous websites where you can build an online CV, but Linkedin is THE media that’s used by the professionals and the largest online networking tool. It turns your CV into a highly visible profile, which, if it’s optimised, will be searchable by the people who matter.
Chances are I wouldn’t find your Linkedin profile. If you’ve created an account that’s a good first step, but it needs to be optimised. By that I mean you’ve added all the information that is on your CV, including keywords in the right places, an excellent summary, job titles etc.
Create a profile with a straightforward email.
Make sure you upload a clear, professional-looking, fairly close up photo either of face or face and shoulders.
If you already have a good CV in Word, use it to create your Linkedin version, making sure it’s in the first person.
Write a short, concise profile summary and give it impact, but don’t write your life story!
Add bullet-pointed achievements in the profile summary section, instead of within the role, making them quantifiable to show impact.
Add your skills and drag the best skills first. Do this at the start as once you gain endorsements you won’t be able to move them.
Drag your skills section to underneath your profile summary.
Like your CV, go back around 10-15 years, unless you want to highlight certain skills.
When you’ve finished adding your profile, search for those you already know and invite them to connect. No doubt you will find colleagues there already!
Search and join groups that interest you, then start interacting. This will prompt more people to connect with you.
Make it clear on your profile that you are looking for work, if of course you’re happy with that.
Once you’ve got going keep active, at least every other day, interact with others and your network of contacts will soon grow. The more you post things on your timeline the more you will show up in search engine results which will encourage others to connect. Before long you could receive the job opportunity of your dreams!
If you’re a complete novice and the thought of creating a really good Linkedin profile is daunting, I’m here to help you, so give me a call.

The ultimate “Hollywood secrets” insider story! Take a peek behind the camera as David O. Selznick, Victor Fleming, and Ben Hecht lock themselves in an office with a 5-day supply of peanuts and bananas to solve the near-disaster of "Gone With the Wind." Will they emerge with a script in time to produce one of the world’s most famous films?
The genesis of the movie script for "Gone with the Wind" may not have occurred exactly as envisioned in Ron Hutchinson’s "Moonlight and Magnolias," but the story is based in historical fact. Filming was suspended while the script was tweaked and a new director was brought in. The play shows us producer David O. Selznick (William S. Murphey) locking script doctor Ben Hecht (Googie Uterhardt) and new director Victor Fleming (Bart Hansard) in his office for a work week to get a workable scenario pounded out. Comedy is ensured when it’s revealed that Hecht hasn’t read the book, and that Selznick and Fleming have to act it out for him. More comedy comes with the intrusions of Miss Poppenghul (Mahalia Jackson), Selznick’s put-upon secretary.
This seems to be a show in which directors like to put their personal stamp by staging the comedy in idiosyncratic ways. Georgia Ensemble’s production is no exception. Director James Donadio has added touches I haven’t seen before. Between the first two scenes of the first act, there’s a time lapse in which the office shows the ravages of sleep-deprived enactors subsisting on peanuts and bananas (Selznick’s idea of brain food). Mr. Donadio accomplishes this by having antebellum-dressed stage hands (two male, two female) take over the stage, spreading papers and banana peels and turning over furniture. It’s a cute touch, with Kacie Willis’ sound design accompanying the stage-changing action in sprightly fashion and with Emmie Tuttle’s costume design getting an unexpected chance to shine.
Another unique comic touch is inventing a simmering hatred by Miss Poppenghul for Victor Fleming. This allows for a lot of unscripted interplay between the two. There’s also some extra entrances by Miss Poppenghul, notably one when she delivers rolls of toilet paper to a stink-filled restroom. Overall, I find Ms. Jackson’s performance too broad for my taste, but Mr. Hansard inhabits the role of Victor Fleming beautifully. Mr. Murphey and Mr. Uterhardt play their roles ably, but don’t seem to be breaking new ground in their performances. They’ve come across as much the same in many other shows they’ve been in.
Stephanie Polhemus’ set uses the full width of the stage to portray a tasteful, symmetrical, neoclassical office, with Connor McVey’s lighting most notable in the colored washes visible on the cyclorama behind the upstage bank of windows and above the ceiling line of the set. The furniture doesn’t scream the 1930’s, but it doesn’t stay in an office-like configuration of sofa, chair, and coffee table for long. What Mr. Donadio has his cast do with the furniture is nothing less than inspired.

Here's a picture of Bob Manzino and myself. I visited Bob and got a sneak preview of the Monster he making me for the upcoming ICCS show..
Cool pic! I love seeing the faces behid the names on so many of these cues.
Have to ask though... did you forget to bring sunblock with you on your trip? j/k.
I hadn't been out in the sun much this summer. I guess #8 didn't get it done, because I peeled like a rattlesnake..
Alright...who's got a pic of the Slyster.....Leon here's your chance buddy!
From Brianna187's post...For those whose interests may extend beyond pool, the car that Paul Drexler is standing next to and Dennis Searing is sitting in, is number one of only ten Callaway Corvette Speedsters. Owned by Will Prout (extreme right, partially cut-off). Between the cars and the cues, I asked Will if he'd consider adopting me. Still waiting for his answer.

I am located in Milledgeville, GA. I prefer buyers to pick up the equipment but I'm willing to travel, depending on how much you are buying. I would also prefer to sell everything as a package and will give a discount for buying it all. All equipment is sold as-is, where-is, no warranty other than whatever might be provided by the manufacturers.
Good afternoon. Interested in a few of your items, such as the 18" vacuum, chemiclas and pads. I live down in Blackshear, Ga.

Ok. I need to take an inventory of my chemicals and pads. Let me work on that this evening and get back with you.
I can do $1500 "shipped" for the BrushEncap machine. I live in Bridgeport Ct. 06610. I think a ups store would give you a price for packing & shipping?

Hello, I apologize but the notification I received from Excellent Supply regarding your message was in my spam folder, and I just noticed it this morning. Are you still interested because I accept your offer.
Sorry, i got a Brush Pro.

Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State has said he is aware that 67 per cent of Christians in Southern Kaduna will not vote for him in the governorship election even if he picks the Pope as his running mate.
He added that there was a need for competence to be given priority over religion and ethnicity, hence his decision to run with a Muslim/Muslim ticket.
The governor, who is a Muslim, had come under harsh criticism from the Christian Association of Nigeria and other interest groups for picking a Muslim as a running mate.
El-Rufai said, “What if I tell you that no matter who I choose as my running mate, even if I choose the Pope, 67 per cent of the Christians in Southern Kaduna have made up their minds that they will never vote for me. This is what the polls show.
“So for me, that is not the issue. The issue is this. Kaduna State is divided; it needs to be united. The way to begin to unite it is to take religion or ethnicity off the table. Since 1992, every deputy governor of Kaduna has been a Christian. What has it done for the state? Has it united the state? Has it assuaged the feelings of the Christian minority that they are part of the government?

westinghouse ceiling fan wiring diagram – What’s Wiring Diagram? A wiring diagram is a type of schematic which uses abstract pictorial symbols showing each of the interconnections of components in a very system. Wiring diagrams include certain things: symbols that represent the ingredients in the circuit, and lines that represent the connections with shod and non-shod. Therefore, from wiring diagrams, you realize the relative location of the ingredients and exactly how they are connected. It’s a language engineers should find out when they focus on electronics projects.
A first look at a circuit diagram could be confusing, but if search for a subway map, search for schematics. The purpose is identical: getting from point A to point B. Literally, a circuit may be the path that allows electricity to flow. If you know what to look for, it’ll become second nature. While initially you’ll just be reading them, eventually you will start creating your individual. This guide will disclose a few of the common symbols that you’re sure to see within your future electrical engineering career.
Voltage: Measured in volts (V), voltage could be the ‘pressure’ or ‘force’ of electricity. This is generally offered by an assortment (for instance a 9V battery) or “mains electricity,” the outlets in your house operate at 120V. Outlets in other countries operate at the different voltage, and that’s why you want a converter when traveling.
Current: Current could be the flow of electricity, or even more specifically, the flow of electrons. It is measured in Amperes (Amps), which enable it to only flow when a voltage supply is connected.
Resistance: Measured in Ohms (R or Ω), resistance defines how easily electrons can flow by way of a material. Materials for example gold or copper, are classified as conductors, since they easily allow flow to move (low resistance). Plastic, wood, and air are types of insulators, inhibiting the movement of electrons (high resistance).

In addition to resources managed by the Red Hat Virtualization Manager itself, Red Hat Virtualization can also take advantage of resources managed by external sources. The providers of these resources, known as external providers, can provide resources such as virtualization hosts, virtual machine images, and networks.
Satellite is a tool for managing all aspects of the life cycle of both physical and virtual hosts. In Red Hat Virtualization, hosts managed by Satellite can be added to and used by the Red Hat Virtualization Manager as virtualization hosts. After you add a Satellite instance to the Manager, the hosts managed by the Satellite instance can be added by searching for available hosts on that Satellite instance when adding a new host. For more information on installing Red Hat Satellite and managing hosts using Red Hat Satellite, see the Installation Guide and Host Configuration Guide.
OpenStack Image Service provides a catalog of virtual machine images. In Red Hat Virtualization, these images can be imported into the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and used as floating disks or attached to virtual machines and converted into templates. After you add an OpenStack Image Service to the Manager, it appears as a storage domain that is not attached to any data center. Virtual disks in a Red Hat Virtualization environment can also be exported to an OpenStack Image Service as virtual disks.
OpenStack Networking provides software-defined networks. In Red Hat Virtualization, networks provided by OpenStack Networking can be imported into the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and used to carry all types of traffic and create complicated network topologies. After you add OpenStack Networking to the Manager, you can access the networks provided by OpenStack Networking by manually importing them.
OpenStack Volume provides persistent block storage management for virtual hard drives. The OpenStack Cinder volumes are provisioned by Ceph Storage. In Red Hat Virtualization, you can create disks on OpenStack Volume storage that can be used as floating disks or attached to virtual machines. After you add OpenStack Volume to the Manager, you can create a disk on the storage provided by OpenStack Volume.
Virtual machines created in VMware can be converted using V2V (virt-v2v) and imported into a Red Hat Virtualization environment. After you add a VMware provider to the Manager, you can import the virtual machines it provides. V2V conversion is performed on a designated proxy host as part of the import operation.
Virtual machines created in RHEL 5 Xen can be converted using V2V (virt-v2v) and imported into a Red Hat Virtualization environment. After you add a RHEL 5 Xen host to the Manager, you can import the virtual machines it provides. V2V conversion is performed on a designated proxy host as part of the import operation.
Virtual machines created in KVM can be imported into a Red Hat Virtualization environment. After you add a KVM host to the Manager, you can import the virtual machines it provides.
Open Virtual Network (OVN) is an Open vSwitch (OVS) extension that provides software-defined networks. After you add OVN to the Manager, you can import existing OVN networks, and create new OVN networks from the Manager. You can also automatically install OVN on the Manager using engine-setup.
Supported external sofware-defined network providers include any provider that implements the OpenStack Neutron REST API. Unlike OpenStack Networking (Neutron), the Neutron agent is not used as the virtual interface driver implementation on the host. Instead, the virtual interface driver needs to be provided by the implementer of the external network provider.
All external resource providers are added using a single window that adapts to your input. You must add the resource provider before you can use the resources it provides in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.

When it comes to prescription medications, The golden state is a huge client, as well as huge customers should obtain the very best costs, or so the reasoning goes.
The state gives medical insurance or healthcare to state workers and also to jail inmates, and after that there are 13 million individuals– one third of the state’s population– on Medi-Cal, the safety-net wellness insurance program for low-income locals.
Gov. Gavin Newsom desires all California state companies to bargain as a block to force pharmaceutical business to decrease their prices.
The bulk of Medi-Cal clients are presently in a handled wellness plan, such as LA Treatment Wellness Strategy, the largest in the state with 2.5 million enrollees. Currently, Medi-Cal managed care strategies bargain their very own price contracts with pharmaceutical companies.
But Newsom issued an executive order in January that would “sculpt out” the pharmacy solutions benefit from Medi-Cal managed treatment plans as well as transform it to fee-for-service, paid for as well as provided by the state of California.
Would that be less costly? Newsom wishes so, due to the fact that healthcare costs currently soaks up a squashing share of California’s spending plan. Some Sacramento Democrats wish to use the savings on prescription drugs to broaden full Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented immigrants as much as age 27, and even to all undocumented residents residing in California.
Bulk-buying programs are not brand-new. The golden state legislation already allows the state to work out discount rates, and also various other states have produced co-operative buying contracts. Judge for on your own how well it’s all functioning to decrease prescription drug prices.
In 2017, Assemblyman David Chiu, D- San Francisco, introduced Setting up Costs 587, which would certainly have required the Division of General Services to convene the “California Pharmaceutical Collaborative.” This bureaucratic production would certainly have been co-chaired by the deputy director of the Procurement Department and the assistant secretary of the state’s Health and also Person Provider Department, and it would certainly have included a representative from each of the relevant administrative firms plus a pair of political appointees called by the legislative leaders of the majority event.
The expense passed in the Assembly yet was entrusted to die in the Senate after then-Gov. Jerry Brown allow it be recognized that he would not authorize it.
Gavin Newsom competed governor with the slogan, “Nerve. For a modification.” Among his initial official acts was this exec order directing state companies to take control of the prescription medication negotiations for even more than 13 million Californians.
Discussing the prices of drugs indicates the state will have a list of preferred medications, and also anything that’s out the list will not be readily available to people on Medi-Cal or otherwise covered by the state.
That’s quite a lot the method it works now for everybody. Handling costs has actually meant managing schedule, choosing to have limited choices.
Yet the property of Newsom’s order is that the complete pressure of The golden state’s working out power will certainly have the ability to reduce the cost of prescription medications. His strategy calls for ultimately allowing personal companies to join the participating buying group. California is a huge market, as well as medicine makers will not intend to shed all those customers, right? So they’ll consent to reduce their rates, right?
This thinking may become extremely wrong.
The state can’t actually storm out of a negotiation. The golden state provides wellness care to a great deal of people, as well as it has an obligation to make certain these individuals have accessibility to the drugs they require. Legislating grow-your-own only goes so far.
story 2 Yosemites: Either wild or accessible Discovering the cash to fix and also improve Southern The golden state’s interstates Prescription medications are cost different prices under different worked out agreements with the federal government, other states as well as personal health and wellness plans. Several of these agreements have stipulations that link rates to what some other entity is paying. If California requires a specific medicine at a much lower price, pharmaceutical companies may choose to quit offering that certain medication in California instead of established off a chain response of higher discount rates across the country.
Which’s why “nerve” is not always a prescription for long-lasting success in national politics.

PLAYA VIEW– Doc Rivers’ group shed the collection opener and won Game 2 when traveling prior to being blown out in the house as an opposing superstar put in 38 factors– and after that the Boston Celtics recuperated, reeling off three straight victories versus LeBron James as well as the Cavaliers to advancement.
Those 2010 Eastern Meeting playoffs are a distant memory for the Clippers coach, however the notion of being able to swiftly proceed from a loss was front-of-mind Friday throughout his session with reporters.
The top-seeded Golden State Warriors directed the Clippers by 27 factors Thursday as Kevin Durant dropped 38 factors.
Yet that was Game 3, and also Game 3 mores than, Rivers firmly insisted.
“There’s a great deal of collection where you get burnt out and also you come back as well as win,” said Rivers, whose group trails 2-1 in the best-of-seven collection versus the two-time safeguarding champs. Video game 4 is Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Staples Center.
For the Clippers, it’s: Ready, set, obtain Gallo going.
With its defensive changing as well as double-teaming, Golden State has up until now efficiently neutralized Danilo Gallinari, holding the Clippers’ generally dependable marker to 16 points per video game on 31.8 percent capturing (consisting of nine factors on an uncharacteristic 2-for-13 initiative Thursday).
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored seven points, went 1 for 7 from the area, had two assists and also 3 fouls as well as was unable to keep the Clippers’ round activity from stagnating Thursday.
“They’re not guarding him for the most component, and so Shai’s obtained ta be able to recognize exactly how to make plays out of that,” Rivers stated of his 20-year-old newbie factor guard, who balanced 10.8 points as well as shot 47.6 percent throughout the normal period.
Rivers also hopes Ivica Zubac’s 18 points as well as 15 rebounds– coming primarily in extended mins late in the loss– will aid him develop himself on the playoff stage.
Zubac stated he thought it would certainly.

Though they chatted about relocating on before Thursday’s video game, Rivers said his team could have really felt the sticking around impacts of the excitement created by Video game 2’s historical comeback.
Now the Clippers, so resilient all season, find themselves attempting to allow go of a completely various sensation prior to Video game 4.
Thirty-three energies from 3 West Coast states have launched a study to analyze what it would certainly take to set up electric charging terminals along the 5 Highway for long-haul trucks taking a trip between the Mexican and also Canadian boundaries, they announced Thursday.
Although battery-powered medium- and heavy-duty vehicles have hardly started on-road service in a couple of states, many suppliers are evaluating added prototypes that might increase their reach in one or two years, professionals say.
The biggest energies in the West, including Southern The golden state Edison, LADWP, PG&E and also San Diego Gas & & Electric plus electrical companies from Seattle and also Portland intend to obtain ahead of the electrification wave by mapping a brand-new highway framework.
HDR, an engineering consulting firm based in Omaha, was commissioned to carry out the study, which will certainly determine the number of electric charging stations, where they would certainly lie as well as the quantity of electric power required from the grid.
“There will be a substantial draw on the electrical system,” said Caroline Choi, vice president of corporate affairs for Edison International as well as SCE, based in Rosemead.
Dave Robertson, vice head of state of Portland General Electric, said a heavy-duty vehicle powering terminal would certainly require double the ability of a bus charger, which uses about 450 kilowatts. He approximated these would certainly call for 1,000 KW. “It is a fairly durable item of tools,” he claimed.
The energies provided really few details concerning what the billing terminals would certainly appear like, just how they would work or when electrical trucks would be working on the interstate. Nonetheless, most likely, a truck vehicle driver would draw up to a charging unit off the freeway, plug in and also then wait up until his or her truck is charged prior to continuing on the route.
The study likewise will certainly check out placing battery chargers on feeder freeways, such as the 10 Freeway in Southern California and also the 80 Freeway in Northern California.
Choi claimed the utilities are collaborating with truck manufacturers and also various other “stakeholders” to find out how to structure a system of battery chargers mainly on the 5, roughly from San Diego to Seattle.
Previously this month, Tesla launched a video of a cars and truck carrier providing Design 3 cars to clients using its all-electric semi-trailer vehicle, the “Tesla Semi,” first presented in 2017 in Hawthorne. At the same time, Daimler has reported it has 100 electric medium- and also heavy-duty vehicles currently in service.
—– Tesla (@Tesla) April 8, 2019 When inquired about an amount of time when electrical trucks might be supplying products in California, Oregon and also Washington, the utility business claimed maybe as quickly as a year or 2. No matter, they understand that day is coming, and they intend to begin preparing for the charging infrastructure to relocate vehicles backwards and forwards the coastline with no exhausts, lowering smog precursors and also greenhouse gases.
be completed by the end of the year. The expense of the research was confidential, Choi claimed.
After a shocking six-game winning streak, the Chargers included two prime-time games to their 2018 schedule. All 3 were played in December, including the come-from-behind Sunday evening win in Pittsburgh and the walk-off 2-point conversion on a Thursday night in Kansas City.
With the Chargers providing 2 of one of the most remarkable video games in 2018, the NFL evidently wanted more of them under the lights.
The Chargers obtained four prime-time video games on Wednesday when the organization revealed the complete 2019 timetable. They’ll open the period at house versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 8.
The Chargers’ first prime-time video game of the year will certainly be a “Sunday Evening Football” rematch versus the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 13. However this conference will certainly happen in Carson at Self-respect Wellness Sports Park, previously called StubHub Facility.
On Nov. 7, the Chargers will go to the Oakland Raiders for a “Thursday Night Football” battle in between AFC West opponents. The Chargers’ last prime-time game will protest the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 15 in the house.
No matter whether a court allows an Orange County nonprofit to run a mobile syringe exchange, the program’s coordinators could locate themselves disallowed under suggested regulations from working in the cities they wanted to serve.
State Sen. John Moorlach is behind a costs that would certainly call for city or county officials to sign off prior to a needle exchange could run in their territory. Existing law says programs can be licensed by either neighborhood authorities or the state Division of Public Health And Wellness.
The Orange Area Needle Exchange Program is proposing to offer free clean needles via a mobile exchange program, however the state’s approval has been opposed in court by authorities in the region and also cities where the team intended to operate.
Moorlach stated his objective is not to take sides, yet to provide regional officials an equal say in what happens in their neighborhood.
Yet public health and wellness advocates of programs such as totally free, clean needles for injection drug addict state Moorlach’s proposition would be a trouble they fear might lead to raised transmission of HIV as well as Liver disease C and also overdose fatalities — syringe exchanges commonly likewise distribute naloxone, which can counteract an overdose.
Los Angeles Area Health Task Exec Director Michael Marquesen fretted it will transform back the clock to prior to state wellness authorities commanded to authorize needle exchanges.
“It truly detered intervention in so many locations when it was left approximately the regional authorities,” he said.
Needle exchanges offer clean syringes and also accumulate previously owned ones for correct disposal, and also they normally also use individuals other health-related information and also references, such as to drug abuse treatment.
A previous program in Orange County was just one of 45 syringe exchanges around The golden state, according to state wellness authorities. Such programs sprang up in the 1990s to stem the spread of HIV, though Orange Area’s was just produced in 2016.
It ran in Santa Ana’s Civic Center when a week, however in very early 2018 city officials rejected organizers a permit to continue after complaints about discarded needles on the ground as well as in public buildings as well as workers being pricked by them.
While some city governments assent and also fund syringe exchange in their areas, others have actually been resistant. State regulation was altered in 2011 so the Department of Public Health could authorize programs straight.
“Up up until then, an individual’s access to syringe programs was figured out by where they lived, not exactly how much requirement there remained in a neighborhood,” said Laura Thomas, deputy state director for the Medicine Plan Alliance, a nonprofit concentrated on medication plan reform.
When the neighborhood program lost its Civic Center permit, coordinators recommended a mobile program stopping in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Orange and also Santa Ana as well as got the state’s approval. Yet the region as well as three of the cities– pointing out public wellness problems concerning stray needles and take the chance of to recovering addicts– efficiently took legal action against to obstruct the program before it started.
Moorlach said the needle exchange coordinators amazed the cities where they wished to operate rather than connecting to them initially, and his expense would make certain that does not take place again.
As well as that is why a city must have some power to examine programs and manage them in its own jurisdiction, he stated.
Meanwhile, other teams have attempted to fill the solution space, including Marquesen, who stated he’s seen a lot of recent clients at his Los Angeles centers who originated from Orange Area due to the fact that there’s no neighborhood needle exchange program.
Volunteers with the Relief Structure, which had partnered with the Orange Region Needle Exchange Program to hand out naloxone, have included kits to sterilize syringes as well as sharps containers for disposal to the supplies they distribute on the road, the team’s founder created in a December op-ed.
Moorlach’s bill is arranged for an Us senate Wellness Committee listening to April 24.

Want some more insight into our development process? Check out our public dev Trello .
A lot of the dev work right now revolves around the UI, so let's have a look at our current concepts for that, shall we? One underlying goal for HA is to allow the player to both field and face large fleets of spaceships. In the average game you will end up with a dozen or so ships under your command, but the game supports many more ships in one scene beyond that. This is why the UI currently is designed in a way that is completely reactive to what ships you control and what their equipment is.

The other day, I gave a guest lecture at the local Massage School. I was invited to speak about my experience as a Massage Therapist, as well as share any tips and info about what I’m up to now.
It was a very meaningful experience. The students had excellent questions. I enjoyed reflecting on how it all began. The conversation and connection was very healthy and authentic.
During the times I talked about what I’m up to now- teaching Massage & Bodyworkers how to promote their practice online, I shared lots of tips for using Social Media, how to get online reviews, managing an email newsletter list, and ways to improve your website.
It was a great question. I told her I agreed that the energy of rural areas are different than urban areas and online promotion for a Massage & Bodywork practice may not be as effective.
Shortly after stating that, another student chimed in. He mentioned his father had built a solid practice in a rural area by offering a very clear referral reward program. He offered an extra 15 minutes for each referral and gave clients an option to “bank” the extra time until they had referred 5 people. 5 referrals earned clients a free massage.
Pretty good referral reward program, right?
The conversation had gotten pretty good. The class Instructor also added her thoughts on rural areas having public events. If there were ways to network and/or promote at public events, that could help get her new Massage practice off the ground.
Start with who you know. Offer a friends and family discount.
Create and offer a referral rewards program.
Find public events to either network or promote at.
And as a bonus, if you have a specific population of clients you want to help, just approach them. For example, if you want to massage teachers in your area, contact the school and ask if you could come give a Self care/stress management talk at the next staff meeting. Once you’re in front of people, and they know what you do, you will draw interest in your work.
All you have to do is ask. It will surprise you what pops up- in a good way!
Are you a practicing Massage Therapist in a rural area? What things have you tried to get more massage & bodywork clients on your table? Please share in the comments.
Package, Bundle Massage: Buy: 3-30min massages for ($X amount of dollars) & get your 4th 30min one Free! This helped greatly in my rural area.
This is addition to the Bundle Massage Package that I explain in my scheduling process. You ( the client) must pay for all on first day & schedule all 4 on first day. This way they are scheduled & redeemed on a 4 week turn around.
Thanks, Jodie! Sounds like a great package deal. I like how you are clear about the expectations for what you offer too. Great tips for new practitioners who are trying to figure out their packages!

Q: What are the Assessor Responsiblities?
Land - 10% of its "fair market value" or "use value"
Residential Improvements - 10% "fair market value"
Commercial - (includes personal property) - 15% "fair market value"
Commercial Land - 10% "fair market value"
The assessor does not raise or lower taxes. The assessor does not make the laws which affect property owners. The Constitution of the State of Louisiana, as adopted by the voters, provides the basic framework for taxation, and tax laws are made by the Louisiana Legislature. The rules and regulations for assessment are set by the Louisiana Tax Commission. The tax dollars are levied by the taxing bodies, such as the police jury, school board, etc., and are collected by the Sheriff's Office as Ex-Officio Tax Collector. The assessor's primary responsibility is to determine the "fair market value" of your property so that you pay only your fair share of the taxes. The amount of taxes you pay is determined by the "millage rate", which is applied to your property's assessed value. The millage rate, as voted by the public, is levied by all the taxing agencies within the district, city, parish or state. This includes school districts, police juries, law enforcement districts, etc. The millage rate is the basis for the budget needed or demanded by the voters to provide for services such as schools, roads, law enforcement, etc. Millage rates are simply those rates which will provide funds to pay for those services.
Q: What is Special Assessment Level?
Residential property owner(s) receiving the homestead exemption who are 65 years old or older and earn a combined adjusted gross income for the year 2013 of $70,484 or less per year can freeze the assessed value of their homestead. The level may change from year to year, so it is advisable to check with the assessor's office to determine whether you qualify. An eligible owner shall apply for the special assessment level by filing a signed application with the Assessor's Office and providing proof of age and income (ex. W-2, 1099-R, Etc.). This special assessment will freeze the assessed value of the homestead for as long as the applicant owns and resides in the home and income does not exceed the maximum allowed. This special assessment level is lost if improvements in excess of 25% of the home's value are added. The freeze extends to a surviving spouse who is at least 55 years of age, and meets all other qualifications.
Q: How Often is Property Reassessed?
Every four (4) years the assessor must reassess properties within his/her respected parish. The purpose is to insure that properties are assessed at present fair market value.
Q: How Long Is My Homestead Effective?
You must apply for homestead exemption and then it is determined if you are eligible. Once granted, it is in effect permanant, as long as you own and reside at that location.
Q: How Is My Assessment Determined?
To arrive at the "fair market value" for your property, the assessor must know what "willing sellers" and "willing buyers" are doing in the marketplace. He must also keep current on cost of construction in the area and any changes in zoning, financing, and economic conditions which may affect property values. The assessor may use any of the three nationally recognized approaches to value, those being cost, income, and market . This data is then correlated into a final value estimated by the assessor. After your estimate has been made, the appropriate percentage of value, or level of assessment, required by law is calculated as your "assessed value".
"Fair Market Value is the price for property which would be agreed upon between a willing and informed buyer and a willing and informed seller under the usual and ordinary circumstances; it shall be the highest price estimated in terms of money which property will bring if exposed for sale on the open market with reasonable time allowed to find a purchaser who is buying with knowledge of all the uses and purposes to which the property is best adapted and for which it can be legally used."
Finding the "fair market value" of your property involves discovering the price most people would pay for it in its present condition in the current open market. It is not quite that simple, however, because the market and the condition of the home are constantly changing.
Q: How Are My Taxes Calculated?
Q: How Do My Taxes Increase?
When additional taxes are voted by the people, an individual's property tax bill will increase. Also, when market value increases, naturally, so does the assessed value. If you were to make improvements to your existing property, for instance, add a garage or an additional room, the "fair market value" increases, and therefore, the assessed value would also increase. The assessor has not created the value. Buyers and sellers set value by their transactions in the marketplace. The assessor simply has the legal and moral responsibility to study those transactions and appraise your property accordingly.
Q: What If I Disagree With The Assessor's Value Of My Property?
As a taxpayer, you have a certain legal responsibility to furnish accurate information on your property. Our office welcomes all information provided by the property owner. If you have complied with these legal requirements, you are entitled to question the value placed on your property. If your opinion of the value of your property differs from the assessor's, you may come to our office to discuss the matter in person. Be prepared to show evidence that the assessor's valuation of the property is incorrect. Our staff will be glad to answer your questions about the assessor's appraisal. If, after discussing the matter with the assessor, a difference of opinion still exists, you may appeal your assessment to the Vermilion Parish Board of Review according to procedures. After reviewing your appeal, if the Board agrees with the assessor and a difference of opinion still exists, you may appeal the Board's decision to the Louisiana State Tax Commission. If the Commission agrees with the Board and the assessor, you can plead your case before the courts should you choose to do so.

Our season just ended and it was the biggest and baddest since I launched the camp seven years ago. In 2018 we had my favorite staff of all time, so many awesome campers and the two coolest boats I could imagine. Many thanks to everyone involved for helping make it all happen.
In this recap I want to focus on friendships at camp. Seeing new friendships form, grow and continue for years has easily been my favorite part of running Water Monkey. So many of our campers have made friends here at camp and then brought those relationships back home by meeting up during the year (even flying and visiting each other as far as Europe from the U.S.), coordinating vacations together, going to the same college together and keeping in constant contact via social media.
On the first day at camp most of us are strangers. After seven days together on the boats, at meals, playing sports and having fun it can be difficult to say goodbye. I always knew that Water Monkey would be a special place where like-minded campers and staff would meet and get to know each other but I guess the extent to which it has surpassed my expectations is a testament to how unique our camp program is.
Water Monkey Camp as a whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts...you can buy yourself an epic boat and some gear and spend a week out on the lake but you’ll me missing a bit of magic that happens here each summer.
Now some fun 2018 stats!
126 campers over 7 weeks!
Campers came from 15 states (CO, CT, DC, GA, IL, MA, ME, MT, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA and VT) as well as Canada, China, France and Italy!
400 pounds of food scraps and waste diverted from the landfill to local hungry pigs!
254 hours on the Calypso Green MasterCraft NXT22 and 234 hours on the Jetstream Blue MasterCraft NXT22 for a total of 488 hours of boating this season!
2,800 gallons of gas consumed on the lake producing roughly 25 metric tons of CO2 offsett with contributions to cooleffect.org (specifically the Alto Mayo Conservation Initiative) as well as the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire who, along with many Merrymeeting Residents and the US Forest Service, is attempting to raise $1,500,000 preserve 2,000 acres of forest surrounding our perfect lake. Our total contributions will offset about 50 metric tons of CO2 this year with the extra going towards camper travel to/from camp.
I hope that all of our campers, staff and their families have a terrific year and that you keep us in mind as you start planning your 2019 summer. Our tuition will be going up next year for the first time in five years but we do not want you to miss out on camp because of that. As always we will be offering a $300 referral bonus for every new camper you send our way who enrolls and new this year by parent requests is the option to set up a payment plan for your camper’s tuition. I am always here to answer your questions so feel free to e-mail, call, snail mail or set up a time to visit and we hope to see you back here next summer!

Feliks Zemdegs solved his 5x5 cube at Melbourne Cube Day in 44.837 seconds. And the crowd went not at all wild. The 5x5 Rubik's cube — or Professor's cube — has over 282 trevigintillion (10^72) permutations, and requires intimate knowledge of the solving algorithms for both the 3x3 and 4x4. Even the tutorial for solving one of these complicated toys is over 40 minutes long. Because of all the moving parts, a Professor is also much more delicate than the run-of-the-mill Rubik's — just watch how much more gingerly this guy treats his bigger cubes. Long story short, it's really, really difficult. Why was no one else in the room impressed?
Zemdegs broke the previous world record of 46.97 held by... himself. In fact, Felix has held onto and slowly whittled away at his own records for the Professor since 2009, when he wrestled the title away from the comparatively molasses-fingered Dan Cohen, who clocked 1:07.25 as his best.
Maybe everyone else at Melbourne Cube Day was too busy solving their own puzzles, or maybe watching Zemdegs win was simply the expectation ("Oh great, this guy again"). Either way, it's a remarkable feat of puzzle solving not soon to be beaten, except maybe by Feliks himself.

Last week I just wrapped up one whole epic month of traveling around Australia. This was the first place on my 2018 bucket list (see more here) and I’m so happy I got to tick it off early this year! One month may seem like a lot to many, but in all honesty, it didn’t feel like we had enough time to see everything this country had to offer. We managed to visit a big area of New South Wales and spent a week in Victoria (Melbourne and Great Ocean Road).
The Great Ocean Road was one of the many highlights on my trip to Australia. And a big part of that was not only ticking off the 12 Apostles from my must-see list but also had a fabulous stay and experience at the 10 Ocean Drive beach villa during our 2 day road trip along the Victoria coastline.
Tucked away near the end of the Great Ocean Road, lies the beautiful beach villa on 10 Ocean Drive. The exterior may not look it at first glance, but as you enter the villa – the wash of white interior and bohemian décor fills the room with life and relaxation. The villa has a total of 4 bedrooms, each with its own personality and unique touch. The bed-linens are carefully paired with a mixture of textures and colours. Straw lamps hang low to give off a very beach bohemian vibe, I felt as if I have been transported to a place in Mykonos!
On the ground level, the kitchen is fully equipped with various kitchenware and cutlery to cook up a feast! A true Australian barbeque was only made possible with an outdoor barbeque grill and dining area perfect for a summer evening of with friends. A spacious sun filled rear decking area equipped with swim spa pool was also a bonus as we decide to take a dip in the jacuzzi after a long day of exploring. Upstairs is a welcoming bedding space with a stylish lounge area that’s very inviting for an afternoon read and relaxation.
I loved that this villa felt like a home away from home… After a long drive around the Great Ocean Road and site seeing, it’s undoubtfully the perfect place to kick off your shoes and sink into the some fresh sheets in bed. You wouldn’t even notice you were somewhere else when you wake up the next morning! What’s more, is the beach and ocean view right outside your door step. There’s not better way to sleeping and waking up than to the sound of waves crashing into shore. As the sun goes down, the serenity of the still ocean and ray of light does nothing but calms the soul.
As a final verdict, this spacious and modern double storey home boasts uninterrupted ocean views. Cleverly renovated with quaint and quirky features throughout, the 10 Ocean Drive villa ticks off all the boxes for a wonderful stay with a group of friends seeking for luxury comforts in a private accommodation.
My stay was courtesy of Port Fairy Accommodation.

It has been a year since I started my blog, Your Education Doctor. With the new school year about to start, it’s a good time to look both back and forward. I hoped that my blog would take some of the pressure off parents and to make you feel in control and empowered. I wanted to help you find your way through the school system so that you could get the most out of your school on behalf of your child. I hope that, in some small way, I have accomplished that goal.
There is no question that parents are their children’s best advocates, but parents can’t be effective unless they are informed; they need to play with a full deck. My mission continues to be to empower parents to better understand and navigate their children’s schools with the insider information, unvarnished truth, and useful strategies I acquired in the trenches and at the top levels in public and nonpublic schools.
Thank you to subscribers to Your Education Doctor and to my Twitter (@DrMerylAin) followers for your ongoing support. Please let your friends know about my blog, and tweet me your questions and concerns or email me at youreducationdoctor@youreducationdoctor.com.
In the course of the year, I’ve made so many terrific friends online. I want to especially thank Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, Danielle Wiener-Bronner, Liza Burby, Melissa Taylor, Suzanna Narducci, Dennise Goldberg, Myrdin Thompson, Mindy Lampert, Joe Mazza, Steve Constantino, Rick Ackerly, and Dr. Doug Green.
I’ve been fortunate to have my work published on a number of other sites, including ParentNet Unplugged, Huffington Post, Parenting.com, Long Island Parent Magazine, Special Education Advice, and TweenParent.com. As we plan for the first day of school, here are some of those articles, which I hope will assist you in getting your kids off to a successful school year!

If you’re in the market for new appliances and you’re hoping to find great deals, pay a visit to Appliance Scratch & Dent Outlet in Kitchener. Exceptionally low prices are the norm – and the appliances are all the best.

The scratch and dent line of products includes all major appliances – but don’t let the wording “scratch and dent” concern you. Products are brand new and are fully guaranteed by the manufacturers. Even if the appliance is scratched, repacked, refurbished, or is simply an open-stock close-out item, isn’t that worth the hundreds of dollars worth in savings?
What follows is a bit of an overview of the stock. Please keep in mind that many of the products move quickly, so be prepared to nab what deals you can while they’re available!
Refrigerators offer many choices. You’ll find bottom mount/freezer bottom refrigerators, French-door bottoms with split-top doors fridges, SXS-style that features a freezer down one side and the fresh food compartment side-by-side, top mounted (that is, freezer on the top) models, counter deep fridges, full fridges without freezers, apartment size fridges, and compact style fridges. Colour is often stainless steel, but you’re welcome to call in advance to see if a colour or style you want is in stock.
Electric Ranges and Gas Stoves are equally impressive. Ranges come in 24-inch or 30-inch electric coil, ceramic glass smooth top, free-standing electric, convection, and more. Gas stoves are available with sealed burners, as slide-in models, and 30-inch convection gas stoves. There’s also professional grade electric or gas ranges.
Dishwashers include energy efficient dishwashers with front controls, integrated dishwashers, ultra quiet “cabinet style,” and slim tall tub dishwashers, to name a few. As well, professional grade dishwashers are often available.
Washing machines are varied enough to suit any requirement… top load, rear console, stackable front load, space saving washers – and even HE/high efficiency washing machines. There are some very cutting-edge products, including washers with anti-vibration systems, and smart technology with multi-programmable controls.
Dryers come in electric or gas models. The available options can suit your newly purchased washing machine: 27-inch wide models, extra-large and super capacity, high efficiency, smart technology, and more.
Add to all this water softeners and purification systems. Plus, microwaves deserve a mention. Brands are by leading manufacturers that include, by example, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Panasonic, and White Westinghouse.

Companies are transforming. Due to local skill shortages and disparate global labour costs, many companies are opting to set up virtual teams.
Virtual teams are made up of geographically dispersed people, usually from different time zones, ethnicities and cultures, united by various technologies and a common goal. The benefits – such as reduced operational costs and finding better talent across the globe – aren’t just for organisations. Individuals are also choosing to join virtual teams because they provide more flexibility, especially in a society driven by time.
However, operating a virtual team as opposed to a traditional co-located team comes with challenges. The right technology is paramount in operating a virtual team, along with finding the right people with specific skills who are supported by a dynamic leadership team.
Effective communication is especially crucial in the performance of a virtual team and to achieve successful outcomes for the organisation. Think beyond email: there are much more appropriate communication tools available for different kinds of conversations or messages.
Quick questions and updates that require immediate response or attention can be done through the traditional phone call or the trendy messaging app.
Do not shy away from the wide range of messaging apps available, from Slack to Google Hangouts. More workforces are now placing their confidence in these apps and prefer messaging over any other means of communication. Information that needs to be attended to but does not require a lengthy discussion is best disseminated through messaging apps.
Regular meetings should also be scheduled and as much as possible, using technology that allows open and visual communication like video conferencing and webinars.
Even if you are all in different locations, meetings are still important to ensure that project assignments and tasks are well discussed and understood. For everyone in the team to be able to see each other (at least virtually) is a huge advantage in making them feel like they belong to a team that consists of real people.
Use web cams to mimic face-to-face communication as much as possible, as it is the highest bandwidth communication available to us and the best way to create a shared understanding between all team members.
While virtual teams have numerous benefits, joining a virtual team is not for everybody.
By removing co-located interactions, virtual teams lose a key component that binds people together. Human beings are social animals and the isolated nature of remote work will not fit everyone’s personalities. Hence, from the very beginning of building the team, selection of the members must be purposeful and consistent. Don’t just hire anyone whose CV matches your job description (not that I condone that for co-located team members, either!).
Utilise and connect with people in a simulated environment.
Display good communication skills and the ability to work independently.
Sustain a high level of motivation without regular person-to-person contact with team members.
Self-motivate, self-direct and complete their everyday work autonomously.
Also, be sure to look for cross-cultural discrepancies and treat them with the respect they deserve: one-size-fits-all is last century’s recruitment thinking. Remember that your team will consist of a diverse range of people and to maintain harmony, each member must be sensitive to each other’s differences. The team lead will need to be hyper-aware of such difference and actively work at ensuring it does not get in the way of productivity and effectiveness.
Leadership is one of the most important aspects of a well performing virtual team. Similar to the people who make up the team, the leadership must also have a good balance of logic and emotional intelligence. The lead should be capable of driving the team to their goal with a clear direction, free from ambiguous instructions and processes.
Knowing how to manage people across different time zones can be a big challenge. Beyond simply converting time zones to schedule meetings, time zone offset can affect how fast work can be returned and reviewed, and how much time team members have available to respond to tasks and questions each day. A good leader also considers how meetings at different times of the day affect their team. If some members struggle with very early or late meetings, the team might miss out on their full participation.
Perhaps the most important quality that one should have is the ability to trust people. A virtual team leader must inspire confidence in their team to openly and freely communicate with each other. Talented virtual team members enjoy the flexibility of such an arrangement, meaning that micro-management is even more ill-advised in a virtual environment. To build trust can be very tricky in this setup but it is the key to keeping the team together. Be a leader who can foster trust and reliability across everyone in the team.
The globalisation of the world has led to the exciting but challenging prospect of virtual teams. Virtual teams with the right mix of tooling, membership, and leadership, can be just as effective as co-located teams, while offering lower operating costs and giving employees greater flexibility in their lives. The right setup can lead to a long-term win/win situation.

Increasingly, the American people view politics as a contemptible, corrupting burden, wherein politicians and bureaucrats cater to special interests to the detriment of the general public. Low voter turnout, gloomy public opinion polls and acerbic chatter on radio talk shows are symptomatic of a political cynicism that has reached new heights. Beyond Politics now systematically explains how government has produced a scandal of political myopia, bureaucratic self-interest, pressure group manipulation, economic stagnation and public distrust.
The publics anger as evidenced in the landmark 1994 electoral firing of the Democratic leadership will only be lessened through major reductions in the costs of government and the social and economic problems produced by the pervasive government bureaucratization of American life. Beyond Politics traces through the fundamental reforms now necessary, without which even greater political upheavals will be in store for both major parties, as voters come to view both as ineffectual.
The cost of politics to American society is enormous. For example, about 3,200 trade associations located in Washington, DC, employ an estimated 100,000 people, or 187 people for each member of Congress. More than 4,000 political action committees court members of Congress to influence government policy and personnel. The average U.S. Senator must raise around $10,000 per week throughout his or her six-year term for re-election campaign expenditures.
Lobbying at the state level is also significant. For example, more than 500 lobbyists spent over $12.5 million in 1987 to influence Washington state s legislature, approximately $85,000 per member. In 1989, lobbyists spent more than $1.6 million on workers compensation legislation in Oregona state with 2.9 million citizens.
In contrast to the consumer-sovereignty of competitive markets, political decision-making works to serve and enrich special interests at the expense of the general public. For example, Americas protectionist trade restrictions cost Americans approximately $70 billion per year. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the federal government spent over $250 billion annually on subsidy programs.
By 1983, nearly 33 percent of all U.S. citizens received direct government funding through non-means-tested programs. Most beneficiaries were middle class clients of such programs as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation and veterans benefits. Another 19 percent were welfare recipients receiving food stamps, Medicaid, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and subsidized housing.
Business cycles are manipulated for the political gain of incumbent politicians and bureaucrats. Of the six U.S. presidential elections from 1959 to 1981, four witnessed an expanded money supply prior to the election and a contraction soon after.
Market failure has been the rationale for governments recurrent interventions to solve numerous problems, real and imaginary: pollution, monopoly, unemployment and inflation, social injustice, poverty, illiteracy, and many others. But governmentsliberal and conservative aliketend to worsen social problems and create new ones as the inescapable problem of what is in fact government failure takes hold, a failure rooted in the very workings of politics and government bureaucracy. The new book, Beyond Politics, shows that the problems created by government failure are profoundly more enduring, serious and pervasive than the problems commonly attributed to markets.
Authored by William Mitchell and Randy Simmons, the illuminating and lively book, Beyond Politics, examines how modern political democracy functions and falters. The books aim is to free us of the misconceptions and false hopes that predispose us to favor public policies bound to failand to examine systematically why they fail. Mitchell and Simmons analyze numerous case studies of government failure in contemporary America, revealing that, most of what is commonly viewed as `market failure is misunderstood, caused by governmental policies. Indeed, the book shows that government failure, rather than market failure, is the inescapable constant in social problems, endemic to the way western political democracies currently operate.
Beyond Politics is realistic about politics. Forsaking the romanticized view of government as omnipotent, benevolent provider, Mitchell and Simmons ask not what would we like from government? But rather, what can we expect from governmentgiven its knowledge, incentives and constraints? What kind of knowledge does politics use and generate? How do political incentives affect government behavior? How do political economic, budgetary, technical and cultural factors limit governments capacities? Given the risks of government failure, should we continue to expand the scope of government? If not, what barriers to reform must we overcome? And what political presuppositions must we change to do this? Without answering these questions, Mitchell and Simmons demonstrate, public opinion leaders and policy-makers naively and recklessly court futility or disaster.
Beyond Politics applies the insights of the burgeoning public choice school of political economy, which studies political choices and institutions using economic reasoning and analysis. [Standard] economic conceptions and tools, although helpful were inexact for use in political theory, recalls public choice pioneer Gordon Tullock in the book s foreword, and hence it was necessary to develop new ones. These new conceptions and tools have forged a revolution in thinking about government and, as Mitchell and Simmons argue, help us to diagnose and treat the dysfunction of democratic political rule.
Unlike many books on politics and public policy, Beyond Politics does not assume that public servants, even in advanced democracies, have the means or intent to represent their constituents faithfully, let alone to always promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. The book insists that politicians and government bureaucrats, like consumers, business owners and private sector employees, all necessarily have individual, private agendas in their workagendas based on self-interest which are not magically discarded upon donning public-employee robes. Because of the high cost for voters to monitor them closely, public employees may stray far from their professed agendas, as they enlarge budgets, expand perks and build careers. But, this is only the first of many causes of government failure identified by Mitchell and Simmons.
Consider the group dynamics of the democratic process. Voters, interest groups, politicians and bureaucrats exert enormous effort fighting for political spoils. Through voting, lobbying, log rolling and maneuvering, their conflicting agendas produce compromises with unintended consequences. Few get everything they seek, but nearly everyone gets something. Although many regard this result as a great virtue of democracy, such virtue is illusory. While the compromises may suppress the symptoms of social discontent in the short turn, in the long run the underlying conflicts often break out in more virulent form.
The process of democratic conciliation contains a perverse mechanism. Typically, government handouts and favors are closely guarded by their recipients, while the costs are hidden from the less organized but greater numbers of people who bear them. This imbalance creates an opportunity for well-organized constituents and pressure groups to gain parasitically from their fellow citizens through stealthy wealth transfers. As these groups push for more, and others copy their success, democratic inertia favors further rounds of cannibalistic feeding at the public trough. Even well-intended programs run by conscientious bureaucrats will diverge dramatically from their proclaimed original intent.
In case after case, Mitchell and Simmons argue, public policy is driven, shaped or distorted by narrow groups who manipulate the political process to fit their private agendas. This pursuit of private gain in politics is a major obstacle hampering government efforts to do the right thingeven when public servants know how, want to and otherwise could. Beyond Politics shows how such political entrepreneurship or opportunism or rent seeking, as its called in public choice, contributes to government failure in taxation, public schooling, consumer and environmental regulation, trade and agricultural policy, central banking, unemployment and social welfare programs, antitrust, and a host of other policies.
The Clean Air Act is typical of legislation resulting more from the influence of political entrepreneurs than from its ostensible concern. Like much environmental legislation, the Clean Air Act claimed that markets injure third parties physically or economically by creating unwanted spillover effects or negative externalities. But most environmental problems, including pollution, result not from markets and property rights, but from the externalities produced where they are prevented from existingthe tragedy of the commons, where resources are managed collectively by government in public domains where environmentally unsound decisions stem from political influence, and the property rights of injured parties are neither recognized nor defended. So, instead of creating incentives to reduce pollution or protect those being harmed, the Clean Air Act mandated power plant technology to benefit the more politically influential producers of less efficient, high sulfur coal in the eastern U.S. at the expense of more efficient, low sulfur coal producers in the West. Not surprisingly, the Act s leaders in Congress were from West Virginia, a major power base for both the predominantly eastern-oriented coal industry and the United Mine Workers.
Another popular argument is that government must provide so-called public goods, such as roads, schools, parks, policegoods deemed essential, but, due to their alleged non-excludability of use by consumers, are viewed as unprofitable for the private sector to produce. It is commonly thought that not enough people would voluntarily pay for them, attempting instead to free ride off others who have paid. But Mitchell and Simmons observe numerous fundamental flaws in this public goods argument. First, no goods or services are purely public goods, and all such goods have been and are increasingly provided privately (parks, lighthouses, roads, security guards, and so forth) and have a long history of private provision. Today, technological improvements are now enabling private entrepreneurs to minimize most free riding, and thereby make it even more profitable to provide such goods. Furthermore, in no way does government provision eliminate the free rider problem. On the contrary, by socializing the cost of producing goods through government, those in positions of greater political influence will stand to benefit at the expense of those politically less powerful. And since government-provided public goods tend to be provided in single quantities equally available to all citizens regardless of their preferences, the same citizen can be under-supplied with some public goods and over-supplied with others.
Ironically, most recipients of government largess, fixated on extracting more from the transfer system, fail to realize that they also lose on net from this negative-sum game, because their gains are greatly offset as they subsidize the booty of others also seeking benefits. In addition, political entrepreneurs sooner or later must pay significantly in order to play. To protect their privileges from envious rivals or angry taxpayers, they will likely spend princely sums lobbying officials and rallying public support. The rate of diminishing returns from rent-seeking varies case by case, of course, but for society overall and for most political entrepreneurs, rent-seeking becomes a lose-lose game. Again, the total cost is largely hidden: the social deadweight losses resulting from the rent-seeking/transfer game also include the unrealized benefits of what would have been created had labor and capital been employed enlarging the economic pie through the market process, instead of wrestling for its shrinking pieces.
Mitchell and Simmons suggest that the high school civics view of political democracy is colored by rose-tinted glass. Although their view roughly parallels Adam Smiths invisible hand theory of the market process, market entrepreneurship differs profoundly from political entrepreneurship. Mitchell and Simmons argue that political and market processes differ fundamentally in what they can offer, the means of making these things available, and the constraints they face. Government interventionism tends to destroy social harmony.
Since the publication in 1776 of Smiths treatise The Wealth of Nations, economists have often remarked that the market process is a powerful engine of creativity, ingeniously enlisting the self-interest of each to serve the self-interest of others. The self-interested pursuit of profit is assisted by the price system, which helps to communicate consumer preferences and permits calculation of which alternative methods and innovations create the greatest economic value while using the least-valued combination of inputs. When market entrepreneurs miscalculate badly or consistently, Mitchell and Simmons reiterate, sooner or later they lose out to visionaries alert to the profit opportunity, enterprising enough to marshal the needed resources, able to effectively manage their internal divisions of labor and gutsy enough to take the risks. Because the private use of force is outlawed, they must achieve their ends entirely by persuasion. Day after day, market entrepreneurs must offer positive values to their customers, or get pushed asidethey cannot last long by offering lemons or running negative advertising campaigns.
Some call this weeding-out process the survival of the fittest, failing to distinguish the peaceful cooperation and competition of the market from the coercion embodied in the jungle of the political systems wars which use government power over the citizenry. In direct contrast to this coercion of political control, the voluntary exchange of markets is more precisely the survival of the providers. Successful market entrepreneurs provide solutions to economic problems. Though this process of social coordination is not widely understood, its precepts have been at least partly accepted into public discourse. Much less understood, Mitchell and Simmons explain, are the foundations on which the market rests and the significance of the polar differences between the signaling and feedback mechanisms of the market process and those of politics.
In contrast to the marketplace, legitimate feedback in the political arena is infrequent and indirect. Nothing in the political process tends to promote the solving of economic problems or the enhancement of social coordination. Politicians lack market standards for measuring success, and rely for feedback on well-organized political entrepreneurs (special interest groups) or uninformed voters. Bureaucrats set in motion by politicians are even less accountable to voters. Even when informed about the issues, voters cannot express their intensity of preferences as effectively through periodic elections as they can every day in the marketplace by voting with their pocketbooks.
Lacking the means and incentives to maximize value and conserve inputs, politicians and bureaucrats must build their empires by dispensing tax-funded favors and expanding, not economizing, their budgets. Parasitism prevails because they do not create wealththey appropriate it from Peter to pay off Paul, and vice versa.
But the greatest difference between political and market entrepreneurship, Mitchell and Simmons remind, is that politicians and bureaucrats retain the police power of the State. And when this force is wielded for political purposes, without consideration of individual rights, due process, and the Rule of Law, the government whose first duty is to protect rights becomes its worst violator.
So what can we expect from government? Given the current rules of the game Mitchell and Simmons demonstrate, what occurs is pretty much what we should expect: the political economy of envy, distrust and stagnation. Mitchell and Simmons prefer neither the mutual plunder of democratic politics nor the bloody tyranny of dictatorship, but like the federalists and anti-federalists of America s founding period, they believe that this is a false choice. Beyond Politics vividly demonstrates that government power must be radically reduced to eliminate the predation of the citizenry by private interests. In so doing, the book contributes to the eternal vigilance needed to achieve and sustain the republican ideals envisioned by the architects of Americas experiment in self-government and lays the groundwork for a political order more resistant to the virus of rent-seeking that now tests our civilization.

Around 3 million people in the UK have diabetes. Thanks to increasing obesity levels, Type 2 diabetes is on the increase. Here's what you need to know about the different types of diabetes, lifestyle factors and what you can do if you're at risk of developing diabetes.
1. Contrary to popular opinion, there are more than two types of diabetes. The main types and the most common are Type 1 and Type 2. Other types of diabetes include gestational diabetes that can occur temporarily in pregnant woman, diabetes MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) and diabetes LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults).
2. Diabetes occurs when there is too much glucose in the blood, because the body cannot use it properly due to a lack of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to allow glucose to enter the body's cells. When you have diabetes, your body doesn't produce any insulin (Type 1), or insufficient insulin (Type 2) to make this happen.
3. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body can't produce any insulin at all. It can develop at any age but usually appears before the age of 40 and is most common in childhood. It is treated by daily insulin doses, usually taken by injection.
4. Type 2 diabetes means the body's ability to produce insulin is reduced, or the insulin produced does not work properly. It usually appears after the age of 40, is related to lifestyle factors including diet, and is generally treated with a healthy eating plan and increased exercise, though occasionally insulin and/or medication are also required.
5. Obesity and lack of physical activity are two of the most common causes of Type 2 diabetes. But not everyone with Type 2 diabetes is overweight. Ethnicity also plays a part and being of south Asian, Chinese, African-Caribbean or black African origin (even if you were born in the UK) puts you at a higher risk.
6. Type 2 diabetes is on the rise. Once the preserve of the elderly, it is increasingly becoming more common in children, teenagers and adolescents.
7. Pre-diabetes occurs if your blood glucose level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes – this is also referred to as fasting glycaemia or impaired glucose tolerance. It can progress to Type 2 diabetes unless you make lifestyle changes, such as switching to a healthier diet, losing weight if overweight and taking regular exercise.
8. It's a myth that people with diabetes cannot eat sugar. While a healthy balanced diet is recommended – one that is low in fat, salt and sugar – it is not necessary to cut sugar completely from the diet.
10. You can calculate your risk of getting diabetes simply by knowing your height, weight and waist measurement; start your risk assessment here.
11. Lowering your blood sugar is key for Type 2 diabetes sufferers. There are many aids to help you do this, some as simple as just keeping a record of what you eat. Find out more here.
12. People with diabetes do not eventually go blind, are as safe to drive a car as anyone else, are no more likely to get colds and flus and can cut their own toenails!
13. High profile supporters and campaigners include celebrities and their family members who have been diagnosed with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, such as Sir Steve Redgrave, Rosemary Conley, Eamonn Holmes and Brian Cox.
Find out more about available support, as well as fundraising, campaigning and volunteering on the Diabetes UK website.

At Loyalist PR, we're proud to send some of the province's most highly skilled students out on internship each spring.
This year, students are seeking four-week, unpaid internships to take place in April or May 2010.
For those of you who aren't familiar with us, the Post-Graduate Public Relations Program at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario is a one-year (two-semester) course of studies covering all aspects of the public relations industry.
All students come to the program with a university degree, college diploma, or related years of work experience.
Most students seek internship opportunities in major urban centres, although some prefer to remain based at the local level.
While students are interning with an organization, they are fully covered either by college insurance or by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
If you have further questions about providing an internship opportunity for one of our students, please feel free to contact Professor Kerry Ramsay, Co-ordinator of the Loyalist PR Program at (613) 969-1913, ext. 2127 or at kramsay@loyalistc.on.ca.

Beginning the college admissions process shortly after potty training is too soon, in our opinion.
How soon is too soon to begin the college admissions process? If you’re the parent of a ninth grader, it’s certainly not too soon as the courses that your child maps out for the next four years matter a great deal in the highly selective college admissions process. Even just a one-hour consultation with us to map out a course strategy for the next four years can put you at a distinct advantage over other students at your child’s high school. So if ninth grade isn’t too soon, when is too soon to reach out to us, you ask? Well, we sometimes get calls from parents of aspiring kindergartners.
If your child is in preschool, hoping to gain admission to the kindergarten of your dreams (let’s be clear — it’s not your child’s dream), it’s too soon to come to Ivy Coach. Go to Stephanie Sigal of Say and Play Family instead. She’ll be able to help you. And let’s not forget that public schoolers gain admission to Ivy League colleges all the time. The notion that students need to go to fancy private schools in the hope of getting into the Ivies is ludicrous, dated, and quite snobby.

The "bulk bag" of industrial powder massed over a ton (2,400 pounds to be exact). It was suspended from a chain and could turn easily. For some reason I wanted to turn it (I don't remember the reason why). So I pushed on it and got it spinning. When I wanted it to stop spinning, I tried to do so. And I found it nearly impossible. It was weightless, but it still had mass and therefore momentum and I couldn't stop its angular momentum as easily as I thought I should be able to.
That was a real-life practical experience for me dealing with mass versus weight.
Mass is a property of matter. All matter has mass. Mass is important. For example, in Newton's second law, force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). And momentum is mass times velocity (p=mv).
Weight depends on a gravitational field. Weight equals mass times the force of gravity (W=mg). But the force of gravity is not a constant and is depended on mass of the two objects being acted upon, and the distance between them. But when one of the objects is the Earth (5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg) and the other is you (say 100 kg), you can pretty much ignore your mass.
Earth's gravitational acceleration is 9.8 meters per second per second. That means in on second falling on Earth, you'll be going 9.8 meters per second (about 22 mph). After another second you'll be going 19.6 meters per second (44 mph). After five seconds you'll be going 49.0 meters per second (110 mph). (This assumes no air resistance).
So let's say you mass 100 kg. So your weight on Earth is (using F-ma) 980 Newtons. Nobody talks Newtons when it comes to weight. So how do you convert Newtons to kilograms? Divide by the acceleration of gravity) "g" which is 9.8 and, voila, you weigh 100 kg.
Now, on the moon, the acceleration of gravity is about 1/6th that of the acceleration of gravity on Earth, or 1.63 meters per second per second. So on the moon you weigh 100kg times 1.63 = 163 Newtons. divide that by g and you get 16.6 kilograms. Which is what you would weigh on the moon.
But you still mass 100 kg. Remember our equation for momentum was p=mv? On the moon, "m" is the same (100 kg) as on the Earth, on Venice, an Rigel IV, where ever. So a walk of say 4 mph on Earth is 1.8 meters per second. So you'd have a momentum of 180 kilogram meters per second. And on the moon, you'd have the exact same momentum.
Here's the tricky part. Fiction depends on weight. So you stop walking on Earth and the fiction you have is six times that you have on the moon. You stop quickly, but on the moon you'd probably bump into the wall because you couldn't stop as fast. You have less weight but you have mass and therefore momentum.

A proposed mortgage refinancing company will help solve a mismatch for Kenyan lenders relying on short-term deposits to fund long-term home loans, the head of HFC, a subsidiary of housing finance company HF Group, said on Friday.
Kenya aims to provide 500,000 new affordable housing units by the end of 2022 as one of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s top four priorities.
The country has an estimated 200,000 annual shortfall, which is expected to rise to 300,000 by 2020.
HFC, which along with KCB Group’s home loans business control about 60 per cent of the Kenyan mortgage market, Waweru said, will join the queue of lenders looking to refinance their loan books, once KMRC is set up.
HF Group said earlier this week it was cutting 9 per cent of its workforce as it starts offering digital banking services.
“Today’s customer is mobile so digital is the space to go if you want to continue doing business,” Waweru said.

The majority of shoppers will make purchasing decisions based on the brand name or logo on an item. Companies spend billions of dollars protecting and marketing their genuine brand image to ensure customers know that they are getting the real thing — not a counterfeit. Unfortunately, the counterfeit market is thriving thanks to improved copycat production techniques.
Aside from stealing your brand’s identity and therefore your revenue from customers, there are a number of ways counterfeit items can impede your business. In the last 20 years, counterfeit items caused the loss of 2.5 million jobs across the world. Whenever a counterfeit item is purchased (whether knowingly or unknowingly), one less authentic product is sold. Eventually, the decrease in authentic product purchases affects the business, resulting in layoff due to too much supply and too little demand.
At the moment, nearly 7% of the world’s trade is counterfeit goods. While it is usually global high-end fashion brands that have to be careful of counterfeit items, small business owners with a well-designed business logo and high-quality products or services will need to keep a watchful eye on their branding. Counterfeit items can cause purchasing confusion for customers. Even though they may have good intentions to seek out the authentic product, counterfeits have become increasingly similar in appearance to the real thing. An estimated 34% of consumers are certain that they have never purchased a counterfeit item before — but how accurate is this statement?
In order to be certain counterfeit items aren’t being purchased, there are a few ways to tell a genuine product from a fake.
Stitching. When a product is authentic, the stitching will appear much cleaner than is duped counterparts. The stitching on authentic items will be straight and contain more stitches per square inch. Fake items will have less stitching (more materials = more cost) and the lines won’t be nearly as straight.
Fastenings. Be wary of zippers and pulls on designer bags and jackets. The fastenings on counterfeit items tend to be glossy, lightweight, and will often chip or peel after excessive use. Authentic brands will use a matte finish to their zippers and pulls. When used, the fastenings should feel heavy and zippers should be easy to use.
Logo. Probably the easiest way to spot a counterfeit item is by looking at the logo design. The logo on designer brands should look perfect; there should be no details missing from the company name or logo icon. Fake items may not even have a logo and will instead try to trick consumers based on the color and shape of the product. Many high-end brands will have a metal logo or leather logo, while some will often stamp their logo onto the product.
Buttons. If you’re about to purchase a peacoat or button down, check the buttons if you’re unsure the item is real or fake. Genuine brand buttons will have the company name engraved, while counterfeits will use a cheap and light plastic that’s unlabeled. The buttons should also be sewn on securely when it’s an authentic item.
Leather. One of the easiest ways to spot a counterfeit item is by determining whether or not it is made from real leather. When picking up the item, run your hand over the surface. If the surface of the item feels smooth and even, then chances are the product is a fake. Real leather will have a slightly uneven texture. The smell of real leather will also be prominent if the item is new. Finally, look at the material; is the material shiny? If so, then this is probably a fake designer product as real leather does not have a glossy finish.
Spelling. While many imposters have stepped up their game when creating counterfeit items, sometimes there can be spelling errors on the fake products. When looking at the logo, be sure that the brand name is spelled correctly. Don’t forget to check tags to see whether or not the spelling is correct there.
Fabric. If the item isn’t made of leather, then be sure to assess the type of fabric used. The fabric of authentic items should feel weighted and of finer quality. The fabric should not have pulls or rips in it, nor should the color fade or bleed. Oftentimes designer brands will include their logo design on the interior fabric, so be sure to check for this small detail.
Packaging. Have you ever purchased Beats headphones, anything from Apple, or a Coach bag? The one thing each of these items has in common is high-quality packaging. The packaging of authentic items (an important branding element) should be of sturdy material and the item should fit perfectly inside the casing. Companies spend millions on their packaging to ensure that the product is safe and secure. Look for branded cloth drawstring bags and branded tissue paper — counterfeit items will not have these details included.
Prices. If a price on a designer item is too good to be true, then chances are it’s a fake. You may need to do some additional research here and go online to see whether or not the company is having a sale on that particular item. Most designer brands will not heavily discount their products, so if you see one at nearly 75% off the original price, be wary. Also look at price tags; does the tag have the brand logo printed on it? Does the price tag look too generic? If so, then the product is most likely counterfeit.
Supplementary Materials. Always confirm that there are supplementary materials included within the packaging. Tech products such as laptops, headphones, speakers, and even kitchen gadgets will all have the proper owner’s manual and instructions included. Check that all of the pieces to the product are included in the box as oftentimes this is not the case. Check for batteries (if stated that they are included), remotes, attachments, and warranty information.
Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to prevent your goods from being sold as counterfeit items. The best way to combat counterfeit items is by branding all of your goods with your business logo or company name. Make sure that you design a logo that is unique to your company. You can make a logo with a free online logo maker or by enlisting in the help of a logo designer, just make sure that it does not too closely resemble someone else’s logo. Authentic branded items are one of the best ways to win loyal customers, and a business logo is the strongest indicator that your products are the real deal.

Will Wood Acids Ruin Photos?
Tim Inman: Attaching a photo directly to any wood plaque would be a recipe for long-term damage to the photo. The wood and the paper, not to say anything about the glue used, move at different rates as humidity and temperature change. The glued-on photo will eventually give up, acid or not. So, I would suggest making copies of important photos to apply. Keep the originals safely in acid-free, archival storage files. Making copies of photos is so easy today, it hardly seems right to risk damage to any important picture or historical article.
That said, walnut, when wet, will bleed a dye that can damage the paper. Oaks are full of tannic acids. I would suggest consulting with the USDA Forest Products Research Station, at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, Wisconsin. They have a great website http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/, and would be the major reference resource for all things wood. Any good sealer would be recommended prior to attaching the photos. In my view, two or three coats of even the worst sealer would be superior to one coat of the best. Be sure the finish and the wood are completely dry before proceeding.

With the tragic news that Bear Republic will cease distribution to Massachusetts at the end of the year, I figured I would stock up and get my reviews in while I still had time. Hopped with Chinook, Columbus, Centennial, and Cascade, this is one of Bear Republic's most well-known offerings.
Pours just a lovely, hazy orange with two fingers of a frothy white head.
The aroma is grapefruit, orange, lemon, and small hints of onion and garlic. Hops come through bright and clear.
The taste leans more towards bitter hops and acidic grapefruit. Those garlic notes are more in-your-face, but it's not displeasing at all. The acidity of the citrus fruits is what appears to the most prominent. It's similar to biting into a freshly peeled orange right after brushing your teeth. Slightly mouth-puckering, but refreshing at the same time.
Bitter hops linger on the back of my tongue and it finishes pretty dry. Racer 5 has a medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. The 7.5% is unnoticeable and this is a pleasure to drink.
It's a shame Racer 5 will soon be gone from regular rotation in my fridge. It's a wave of juicy citrus and bitter hops that combine to make it great for those new to craft beer, but also pleasing to veteran beer geeks. Sad to see you go, Racer 5, but I'll always have this last hurrah.

When I was younger- in my twenties and even early thirties, I would finish entire projects in a day or so, deep clean an entire apartment thoroughly from top to bottom in one day, and pretty much felt I had things together by the time I was nesting and pregnant with Audrey. Everything was pretty well prepared and organized. But in less than two years I had my first child, moved two times, and then my husband died- and somehow I’ve never managed to “get back on track.” My to-do list in those early days was very basic- things like: breathe, get out of bed, feed child.
By the time I felt ready to “tackle” things again, I assumed I’d be able to accomplish them the same way I had always done, with the same level of energy and intensity. But that never happened. After being in survival mode for so long, I have now accepted the realization that I’ll never feel the way I did right before Audrey was born-together, organized, ready. Ever. Again. I’ve had to let go of my obsessive compulsiveness. I’m satisfied to do the dishes every night and make the bed in the morning. I still always have a list of larger projects and goals that I’m working on, but they take- well, years.
The point of this brief meditation is that that’s OK. It’s not because I’m lazy or because I’ve given up. Actually- what I’ve noticed is that I do eventually get things done. It just takes persistence and patience to keep chipping away at something little by little over the course of many months- and not give up. The fact is that being an only parent I just don’t have the time I once did to complete things or clean the house- and those things have also come to matter less to me. But the things that do matter: spending time with and loving my child, pursuing my craft and calling in the world- often don’t have any immediate results that you can tabulate and get that sense of satisfaction from.
But…progress. A little over a year ago, I wanted to create a new blog but I was having trouble getting it started. Now I’ve written consistently for over a year. Despite her apprehensions two summers ago to learn how to ride a bike, Audrey hopped on and learned in a day or so this past summer. Three years ago I started feeling like it was time to move and exercise again. I started with yoga at a local Y where people were mostly in their 70’s and 80’s. I progressed to a more middle aged group of yogis at a nearby yoga studio. And then to an even more challenging yoga studio, and this fall I started walking daily- and later when I felt stronger, I added running- if I felt like it- which I do most days.
When my husband died, I immediately had a clear vision that I should ask people who knew him to write letters so that I could put them all together in a book and one day Audrey, only 21 months old at that time, could read them. A friend had people email her the letters- and eventually she sent them all to me- where they sat, hundreds of them, in my email inbox mostly unopened for…years. But after four years, I had the strength and time to make the book. I spent hours going through the letters- an emotionally draining task- and completed the book on Shutterfly in time to give a copy to my husband’s mother when she was visiting from Korea last year. It took another year before I ordered a copy for our own house- and finally- that vision became a reality. My daughter, age 7, sat flipping through the book, even showing her friends when they came over. I posted pictures of the pages on Facebook on his birthday this past December so that friends who had written those letters could see what had become of them.
Something about grieving and raising a child at the same time warps your sense of time, and years don’t seem that long anymore at all. The important thing is that I don’t forget about my goals – I write them all down in a pretty pink linen binder every year or so by category- and then I put that binder away. But I keep the vision in mind.
I once heard it said that if you were going to see all of the things you were going to do all year you’d be absolutely crushed and overwhelmed. There are so many things we do each day and week that we don’t really take stock of while we’re berating ourselves for not having completed the other projects we’ve decided “should” be done. This year, instead of making New Years resolutions, I made a list of all of the accomplishments big and small that I had done in 2015. Audrey and I both did it, in fact. We sat flipping through our planners (she has her own which we use to schedule our week on Sunday nights at dinner together) and saw all the things we had done. Then we looked through all the photos month by month on my computer as well. And then I just sat and looked through my accomplishments starring the ones that really meant something to me- like making the book of letters for Audrey, helping her audition to sing at the school talent show, taking our first real vacation together to Bermuda last year, attending a benefit concert for Dan and watching Audrey get up on stage and sing Fight Song with Rachel Platten. And then there were the less than thrilling items, but accomplishments nonetheless- going to jury duty, surviving our first case of lice, and getting an endoscopy of my esophagus. Surviving those are accomplishments to be proud of as well. Audrey’s list (pictured above) included lost teeth, piano recitals, and learning how to ride a bike.
We live in a society that likes to get things done quickly- Amazon now eerily delivers packages the same day you order them. But sometimes growth doesn’t happen fast- and immediate gratification isn’t an option. But if you are still holding on to your vision- and still taking steps towards it- even if it’s taking years…that’s OK. Being in process is being alive. And instead of looking towards new resolutions and new results, I am choosing to look at progress made- however slow-going.
Years ago I sat looking through black and white photos of my father in law when he fought in Vietnam. On the back of one of those black and white photos, was a Longfellow poem, and it’s become one of my favorites. In fact, I wrote about it when I was a newlywed living in Brooklyn with my husband in an essay for “This I Believe” here. If you are further today than you were yesterday, persevere. Keep the vision in your mind and keep taking small steps towards it, when you can, with whatever strength you can. You are making progress.
Made me cry, so achingly beautiful. You give me courage. Small steps. Grief and the time warp – yes! I was tempted to cancel my 8 am yoga class, but I will get up and go. Showing up is progress. Wishing you a peace filled weekend.
Thanks Terri. You give me courage also.
Comforting words… I have to remind myself that it’s “okay” if I don’t get to all of the things on my to do list. I’m an only parent with two children and they come first. Sending hugs your way Julia.
The book of letters is breathtaking. Thank you for this encouragement; I’ve never thought of using my planner to keep track of accomplishments, and now I’m intrigued and hopeful that noting progress might help me to continue plugging away faithfully.
Thank you. I hope it works for you- not just to keep you plugging along, but to help you stop and take notice of all you’ve done.
Yes, indeed. Thanks for that reminder as well.
This is so lovely Julia. It’s true, when you look back on a year it’s astounding how much has been accomplished. Your photo book is breathtaking and such a tremendous gift to both you and Audrey, and all those who contributed and loved your husband. I used to skim over what I’ve done, but the last few years I’ve been more generous to myself and proud of each and every step.
Well, just from what I see in the online world, I’m impressed by your consistency and commitment! It encourages me to keep going also, so thank you.

Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority is planning to introduce the drone registration and accreditation scheme progressively in the second half of 2019. Under the proposal most recreational drones weighing more than 250 grams will need to be registered annually using a simple online process. Recreational drone operators who only ever fly indoors, or only at an approved model aircraft airfield will be exempt from the need to do registration and accreditation.
Drones of all weights operated at any time for commercial purposes will also need to be registered annually.
Part of the scheme is accreditation that will require people to do a short online education course, based around a video. This will be followed by a short online quiz. Accreditation will be required for people who don’t hold a remote pilot licence, unless they’re operating a drone 250 grams or under, or participating at an approved model airfield. Accreditation will need to be renewed every three years.
It is proposed that people will need to be 16 years or older to register a drone, with younger people to be supervised by a person over 18 years old who is accredited.
The online process of drone registration and accreditation is estimated to take about 15 minutes for most people to complete.
CASA’s CEO and Director of Aviation Safety, Shane Carmody, said the proposed drone registration and accreditation scheme will bring a range of safety and community benefits.
“The proposed scheme will make sure everyone who flies a drone knows what the safety rules are,” Mr Carmody said.
“It will also mean we can effectively target safety information to the people who need it.
The Federal Government has supported the introduction of a mandatory accreditation and registration system for drones. This was in a response to the recommendation from a Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport inquiry.
Interested parties are encouraged to comment on the drone registration and accreditation scheme which will be available on CASA’s Consultation Hub until 22 February 2019.

A hunting truck we recently purchased will not engage the 4wheel drive. When put in 4 low or 4 high neither make the front wheels pull. It doesnt appear to have any hubs to be locked externally just the shifters on the floor. the lady we bought it from is selling it …... If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indicator light blinks If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the shift lever to “N” and operate the switch again.
This is done by putting the vehicle in Park first. I have actually done it in two different ways and both work. One is in park and then pulling up the lever for the 4-wheel drive to 4H. how to follow up on a job by email There are many small problems that can keep the 4 wheel drive system from engaging. My 2001 S-10 had this problem from time to time and it turned out to be an inexpensive switch on the dash. My 2001 S-10 had this problem from time to time and it turned out to be an inexpensive switch on the dash.
18/11/2007 · AS i have never used a 4x4 vehicle before so im a bit confused about how to engage 4 wheel drive.....do i engage it in park mode or neutral mode or can i engage it in drive mode as well? I have heard that if done wrongly it can damage the transmission so il wait for your replys then try.....cheers Last how to update google drive folder If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indicator light blinks If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the shift lever to “N” and operate the switch again.
Answer . Hello, I too have a 1998 Ford Ranger that the 4 wheel drive does not engage. I have been doing some research online and have found one main reason for this.
How to Engage the Differential Lock You engage the lock by stepping down with your right heel onto the differential lock pedal. If the tractor is not running and the gears in the differential are not turning, the pedal will not depress fully.

Skippool is the area around the River Wyre roundabout on the A585 – the main road between the coast and motorway network.
Skippool Creek is a fascinating place where small fishing boats are moored on the muddy tributaries which lead into the nearby River Wyre.
In the distance, across the floodplain, you can see the River Wyre and Shard Bridge.
As you might imagine it’s a haven for wildlife, and the air is usually alive with the sound of birdsong.
The tidal tributaries provide a rich source of food for the wildlife which lives there or visits. The mud flats, which you can see at low tide in the photo below, are an excellent source of food for birds.
Mud flats at Skippool Creek, on the River Wyre at Thornton Cleveleys. See the A585 in the distance.
The nearest postcode for SatNav to Skippool Creek is FY5 5LF – which is Wyre Road.
Turn off the A585 at the River Wyre pub at Skippool Road, and head as if to Thornton.
Not very many yards along the road, turn right onto Wyre Road, before you reach the Thornton Lodge pub. Be careful, it’s very narrow at the beginning.
Wyre Road follows the creeks and widens out slightly. There is a car park a little further along where you can leave your car to explore on foot.
For hundreds of years Skippool Creek was a major trading port, along with Wardleys Creek at the other side of the River Wyre.
It was in constant use from the end of the Medieval period. In 1837 it was described as ‘The Metropolis of the Fylde’.
Goods arrived here from all around the world, from as far away as Russia and North America. Flax was imported from Ireland and the Baltic, timber came from across the Atlantic, and tallow from Russia.
Records from 1806–08 show that limestone and oats were imported from Ulverston and coal from Preston. Then Cheese was exported back to the same places. By the 18th century, markets were held regularly in nearby Poulton. Carry on reading about the history of Poulton here.
There are tales of smuggling and skullduggery in these creeks, which you can just imagine when you see them!
Nowadays, the mud berths which are accessed by wooden walkways, are used as moorings for small pleasure boats.
Thornton Cleveleys Past Facebook Group is the best place to find out the detailed local history of the area.
Was there a pub called the Throstle’s Nest at Skippool?
I don’t know of a pub called the Throstle’s Nest. Directories list a few pub names at Skippool. In 1824 James Bickerstaff was the licensee of the “Crackers Head”. Ten years later he is said to be at the White Horse and the 1839 Tithe map shows a field near the present River Wyre Hotel as the White Horse Bowling Green. By 1866 it was the Brockholes Arms with Robert Lee as licensee.
RECOLLECTIONS OF BLACKPOOL AND THE FYLDE – A Ramble by the River Wyre [extracts].
Early last March I walked with a young friend … My friend admired the quaint appearance of two thatched cottages on the right hand side of the road after passing Skippool bridge. The first is known as “Throstle Nest”, home of Edward Blackburn and family [In 1881 a Railway Porter in Thornton]. The other has been known from time immemorial as “Ouzle* Inn”. There is no reason to doubt that when Skippool had its little shipping trade this was a veritable inn.
If all tales about smuggling are true, the landlord would be able to supply his customers with something stronger than ale. 50 or 60 years ago smuggling was looked upon in a far different light than at the present time. Men of respectability and position thought it no harm to connive at it. A vicar in one of our Fylde parishes, well-known for miles around for telling his hearers to “do as he said and not as he did”, was ready at any time to give a helping hand in “landing of cargo”. Early in the present century the little cottage was used as a school, taught by a person named Peter Whiteside. *An Ouzel is a type of thrush.
Within the last two or three years the roadside cottage once known as the “Ouzel Inn” has disappeared. It stood in a narrow lane near Skippool. In its palmist days the Ouzel Inn had the reputation of being the resort of the smugglers who flourished when George III was King. It is said that the inn was never exactly a licensed house, but carried on an illicit trade.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has maintained that the battle for the soul of Nigeria must be won.
Atiku stated this while calling for reflection, ahead of his birthday on November 25.
In a statement made available to journalists by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, the former vice-president said a time like this required a sharp focus on rescuing Nigeria from the economic crisis and global ignominy.
Atiku, therefore, enjoined his family, friends and associates to withhold from placing adverts to congratulate him.
Instead, he advised them to convert their funds for adverts and congratulatory messages in the media, into charity organisations of their choice, such as orphanages.
He said, “These times call for sober reflection and prayer, rather than merriment and jollification. These times require a laser-sharp focus on rescuing Nigeria from the economic crisis and global ignominy.

They work with clients and coalitions to develop strategy; meet with Commissioners, agency staff, and Congressional staff; and draft briefs, comments, and other legal documents. Because we are located in Washington, D.C., the Fellows get to experience firsthand the interplay between Congress, federal agencies, and federal courts in developing communications and technology policy. They also have many opportunities to network with others working in this area.
The Fellows receive training in clinical teaching at a two-day orientation and in a Clinical Pedagogy course that meets throughout the first year of the Fellowship. In coordination with the faculty, each Fellow typically supervise three to five law students each semester. Fellows assist students in developing their lawyering skills. For example, Fellows help students develop a research plan, review and comment on student drafts, and prepare students for meetings and oral presentations. Fellows also help to plan and teach the classroom components of the clinic.

The Fellowship pays a stipend of $57,000 for the first year and $60,000 for the second year. Upon successful completion of the Fellowship, the Fellow will be awarded (tuition-free) an LL.M. degree in Advocacy.

Georgetown Law has operated its highly regarded in-house clinical program for more than 50 years. Through this program, students learn the practical art of lawyering while providing quality legal representation to under-represented individuals and organizations. We offer 17 different clinics, and more than 300 students participate in this program every year.
Georgetown Law has a strong commitment to diversity among its faculty and encourages applications from minorities and women.
GEORGETOWN LAW invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position in the Criminal Justice and the Criminal Defense and Prisoner Advocacy Clinics, which are both part of Georgetown’s top-ranked clinical program.
Georgetown Law is fortunate to have two criminal clinics that serve many third-year law students and six E. Barrett Prettyman fellows each year. Because of the size of the two programs, in addition to the directors of the respective clinics, an additional full-time faculty member is shared between the two year-long clinics, teaching in the seminar and supervising students in both clinics on their criminal cases.
The faculty member in this position plays a vital role in supervising the E. Barrett Prettyman program (a 57 year-long Georgetown institution). As the Co-Director of the Prettyman program, the faculty member runs a six-week training program for the fellows at the beginning of their fellowship and supervises the fellows in their misdemeanor and felony caseloads through the year. With teaching responsibilities in two different clinics and the supervision of students and fellows in multiple criminal cases, this position requires an energetic, thoughtful, and experienced practitioner and scholar. Since this appointment is on the tenure track, the faculty member will be expected to produce high-quality scholarship and to engage in the academic life of the law school. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three references and a scholarly agenda to Emily N. Smith at eny3@georgetown.edu.
GEORGETOWN LAW seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty position in our Communications and Technology Law Clinic. This clinic has been part of Georgetown’s Institute for Public Representation since 1980. The clinic is also part of the law school’s Institute for Technology Law and Policy, which works to train the next generation of lawyers and lawmakers and provides a uniquely valuable forum in Washington, DC for policymakers, academics and technologists to discuss the most pressing issues and opportunities in technology law today.
The Communications and Technology Law Clinic represents nonprofit organizations working to adopt, enforce, and defend laws and policies that promote the use of technologies to serve the public interest. The clinic practices before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), other federal agencies, and federal appellate courts. The clinic has been active, for example, in supporting limits on media ownership at both the FCC and in the courts to encourage diverse viewpoints and opportunities for women and people of color to own broadcast stations. At the FTC, the clinic has worked to enforce the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and prevent deceptive or unfair advertising to children. More examples of recent projects can be found at https://www.georgetowntech.org/ipr-communications-technology-clinic/.
The candidate must be or become a member of the D.C. Bar. Successful candidates should be familiar with federal administrative law and appellate practice. Work experience before or at the FCC or FTC would be a plus. While the faculty member will initially supervise work on ongoing cases, over time, she or he would need to develop appropriate new cases and projects in light of changes in law, technology, student interest, client needs and pedagogic goals.
Prior experience with clinical teaching is desirable. The candidate should enjoy working closely with law students, have experience supervising others, and possess the management skills to keep the clinic running smoothly. Since this appointment is on the tenure track, the faculty member will be expected to produce high-quality scholarship and to engage in the academic life of the law school.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three references and a scholarly agenda to Emily N. Smith at eny3@georgetown.edu.

This book introduces selected recent findings on the analysis and control of dynamical behaviors for coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks. It presents novel research ideas and essential definitions concerning coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks, such as passivity, adaptive coupling, spatial diffusion coupling, and the relationship between synchronization and output strict passivity. Further, it gathers research results previously published in many flagship journals, presenting them in a unified form. As such, the book will be of interest to all university researchers and graduate students in Engineering and Mathematics who wish to study the dynamical behaviors of coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks.

Our May Industry Employment Trends provide the strongest evidence yet of an improving job market. May 2010 shows year-over-year job posting growth in all 12 of the major industries we track. This is the first time we’ve seen positive growth in all sectors since launching Industry Employment Trends in February 2009.
Last month, Healthcare was the only industry showing an annual decline in job postings, but is now showing positive growth with a 3% increase compared to May of last year. Clicks on Healthcare jobs have also increased 37% since May 2009, with the most searched for and posted job title being Medical Assistant.
As Summer begins, Transportation and Hospitality have experienced notable job posting gains. Transportation jobs have surged in recent months: with a 67% increase, it is growing faster than any other industry. The Transportation jobs that people have been looking for are strongly proportional to the type of Transportation jobs being posted. Three of the top five Transportation job titles were for Drivers, while three of the top four Transportation job searches included the keyword ‘Driver’. Hospitality job posts are up 49% over a year ago as hotel and restaurant jobs begin to rise heading into the Summer months.

Many young men of African American descent wore suits that had exaggerated shoulder pads, pegged trousers that were very tapered at the ankles, oversized coat, long dangling key chain and wide brimmed hats, this style is called the Zoot suit. According to the fashion reader, Cosgrove states that “ The word Zoot means worn or performed in its’ lavish style when, most jazz musicians wore, zoot suits on stage like, a famous jazz performer Cab Calloway.” Cab Calloway had inspired many of the young African Americans and Hispanics during his performances, which later changed to a form of expression on individuality, freedom and rights.

Awesome variation on Falafel... - 20+ to choose from including baba ganoush, hummus, fried eggplant, etc.... amazing, and you get to add the salad portion yourself so you get to choo...I tried the bowl option and liked very much the help yourself salad bar option!
Additional pitas for $1.25 each.
Terrible, terrible service. Staff who are rude to customers, who also can't even manage to have an orderly line and can't control rampant cutting to boot. Go somewhere else.
Super Falafel ! REAL Amsterdam Fries !
Their falafels are super good and the place is interesting ! Many side dishes to accommodate them, plus a great choice of sauces !
It was so fun to make my own falafel sandwich. They have a great selection of toppings and delicious sauces. We’re both vegan and we’re able to super easily enjoy our meal.
The falafel was made fresh, the salads were amazing, and you get to add the salad portion yourself so you get to choose what you want. If you're in Adams Morgan, this is not fancy, not spacious, but a quaint place to eat good food.
Get quick answers from Amsterdam Falafelshop staff and past visitors.

Unlike preventive dental treatments intended to protect teeth from damage and decay, restorative dental treatments are performed to “restore” form and function to teeth that have been compromised in some way. The best treatment for your teeth will depend on their condition and the options you want for your smile.
When natural teeth are decayed, damaged, or lost, restorative dentistry can fix, repair, or replace them. At Prestige Dentistry in Palm Harbor and Trinity, FL, we believe restorative dentistry has a cosmetic component in that it includes aesthetic enhancement. Correcting missing, damaged, stained, discolored, worn or broken teeth requires advanced training, dentistry techniques, and technology. Luckily, the dentists at Prestige Dentistry have years of training and experience in helping patients transform their smiles for the better.
Losing a tooth by accident or by extraction is not the end of the matter. When a tooth is gone, the resulting gap allows surrounding teeth to tilt or drift from their normal position, and the teeth across from the gap will move downward or upward. Aside from the obvious cosmetic problem, the changed positions of these teeth can lead to severe bite problems causing jaw pain and headaches. Tooth loss also can lead to shortening of the face.
Missing teeth should be replaced to keep other teeth in their normal position. This can be done by means of a fixed dental bridge or a dental implant. Both of these treatments offer a good functional and cosmetic result.
For those who have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can literally “bridge the gap” with a false tooth or teeth between the teeth that remain. A dental bridge can be secured by tooth crowns on each end or by dental implants.
Dental implants, which provide the anchor to permanently replace missing teeth, can preserve bone mass and facial structure, and significantly improve your ability to eat what you want with comfort and confidence.
Dental implants are the restorative dentistry option of choice when replacing a single tooth, because you don’t have to file down and crown two extra teeth to place a dental bridge.
Not long ago, dentists used silver and mercury amalgam to fill cavities. Silver fillings do not bond to a tooth, so a chamber must be cut into the tooth which is larger than the exterior. This keeps the filling in the tooth. Because a larger amount of the original tooth must be removed, these types of fillings often weaken teeth and can cause cracks over time.
Recent innovations now allow Drs. Pielak, Horwitz and Beil, Prestige dentists in Palm Harbor and Trinity, FL, to replace old silver fillings with composite or porcelain fillings that are stronger, safer and more natural looking. These materials actually do bond to tooth and provide more protection from fracturing.
Materials are layered into the tooth and hardened with an intense light. The final surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth, making it virtually invisible to the naked eye, giving you a beautiful new smile.
Metal-free fillings are more natural looking, compatible with living tissue and reduce risk of allergic reaction to metals.
There are primarily two different types of dentures.
Bonding is used to repair chipped, broken or discolored teeth, fill in gaps between teeth or protect the roots of teeth exposed by receding gums. Bonding is virtually painless, and can usually be completed in one visit, although complex cases may require several appointments.
These are restorations, similar to tooth crowns, yet they need less preparation of the tooth’s surface. They are more conservative than placing full tooth crowns and can be made in gold or precious metal or can be porcelain or composite, which looks similar to natural teeth.
When too much of a tooth is removed to support a filling, a dental crown may be used to restore the tooth’s natural shape and size and to strengthen it. All-ceramic tooth crowns contain no metal, giving them natural appearance. At Prestige Dentistry in Trinity and Palm Harbor, our computer-assisted design ensures a precise fit, and the quality materials used, result in outstanding strength and durability.
A full-mouth restoration is an intensive process which may combine restorative, reconstructive, endodontic and periodontic treatments to give you a healthy, functional, beautiful smile.
Good candidates for full-mouth restorations are those whose jaws don’t close properly or whose teeth don’t touch correctly, those who have many damaged or worn teeth, those who grind their teeth, or those who have had teeth lost or damaged due to illness, injury or other circumstances.
Many of those who undergo full-mouth restoration actually save money because we create a total plan which combines treatments whenever possible to give patients the best-possible outcomes and value.
To learn more about the restorative dentistry options available at Prestige Dentistry, including tooth crowns, dentures and dental bridges, and which can be used in your situation, contact our Trinity or Palm Harbor office today. Give us a call or fill out the form on this page. We can set up a consultation to Talk to Drs. Beil, Pielak or Horwitz about restoring your most beautiful smile.

When we planned our trip to Portugal, it was strongly recommended that we visit the Azores. These 9 islands are located in the North Atlantic Ocean about 900 miles (1.450 km) offshore of Lisbon, Portugal. When we visited, we found so many interesting things to do in the Azores. And if you visit once, you will want to return!
The Azores are volcanic islands with green space everywhere. We visited the viewpoints high above Sete Cidades on Sao Miguel Island. There were hiking paths all along the rim overlooking the volcanic lakes.
Volcanic craters were always a great place to find the hiking spots. The day we visited the Faial Caldera, the fog moved in very quickly. It hid the hiking paths that ran across the top and down into the volcanic valley. There are some limits on hiking in this caldera, so you will want to plan in advance.
If you like to get out in nature, you will find hiking one of the simplest things to do in the Azores.
It was very easy to drive around the Azores. The road systems were good and generally well signed. Having a car will let you plan your day around the weather. We visited the Azores in May. At that time of year, people commented that you might see all four seasons in a day.
If you have escaped the city, you probably hoped you left the traffic jams behind. But our favourite kind of traffic when we drove around the Azores was a cow traffic jam. Many of the islands of the Azores have more cows than people! The cows were regularly moved from field to field. And we just watched the show. Much of the time, we were not sure who was watching who.
The upside of so many cows however was some of the best cheese ever. You can find the cheese in the local stores. But not all of it is exported, so make sure to take home your favourite kind. If you really want to stock up, there is a great cheese factory you can visit on Faial Island.
Taking it easy is one of the things to do in the Azores! The slower pace of life will calm you as the natural beauty excites you.
The Azores are one of the spots in Portugal that produces wine. It has become so well recognized that it was sometimes hard to find local wine when we visited the Azores! But we managed to sample a wide range of Azores wines.
When we visited Pico Island, we even got to see the vineyards. With the resurgence of the wine industry on the island, large fields are being reclaimed. The vineyards have a very typical design, with small rock walls separating plants. It reminded us very much of the vineyards on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
And if you want the ultimate in wine convenience, we found a hotel that had a wine dispenser in the lobby. Just put in your hotel room key. Pick the wine and glass size. And you are set to go.
Exploring the developing wine industry is one of the things to do in the Azores. If you find a favourite wine, you should take it with you. Or plan a return visit to find even more!
We found several interesting dining venues when we visited the Azores. On Faial Island, we had a delicious feast that we cooked ourselves on a hot volcanic stone. There was a wide variety of things offered. And we cooked our feast just the way we liked it.
When we visited the calderas on Sao Miguel Island, we got to see the delicious cozido (caldera stew) cooking in the field. The large pots are filled with meat and vegetables. The pots are buried in the earth above volcanic steam ports. The stew cooks for 4 hours. We were at the caldera field as they came out and we got to order our pot for lunch. A short trip into town and we sat down to the most tasty lunch.
Enjoying great food is just one of the things to do in the Azores. The abundance of cows meant that local cheese and meat was delicious. Being islands, the seafood was fresh and plentiful.
The Azores are volcanic islands. Everywhere we drove, we saw the stunning volcanic sea coasts. We saw signs of the erupted volcanoes in the magnificent caldera lakes on the islands. When in Faial, we had a constant view of Pico Mountain that has yet to erupt. On Faial, we also got to see the massive calderas at Capelinhos created in 1957. An underground museum provided a great education on the volcanic history of the Azores.
While most of the hot springs we visited were just great to look at, we did find some that were meant for a dip. There were different pools at different temperatures. Even when the weather was cool, the hot springs were a great spot to relax. The wildest hot spring we found was at the Ferraria. The hot spring vented into the sea in a small cove. When the tide was down, this was a picture perfect spot to enjoy that mix of hot and cold water. But at high tide, it was a crazy swim.
A visit to the hot springs is definitely one of the things to do in the Azores. The hot springs are idyllically located in green spaces. You will find a spot that is just the right temperature for you!
If the Azores are known for volcanos, they are equally known for whaling history. When we visited Pico Island, we enjoyed a tour through the whaling museum. Whaling was a major source of income for the islands until the practice was stopped.
But the whales didn’t go away! There is great whale watching from both Sao Miguel and Pico Islands. The day we went whale watching, we saw both fin and humpback whales. The dolphins danced on the waves. And we got a great water view of the island.
If you are like us, then whale watching is a top one of the things to do in the Azores. We keep heading out to the sea in search of that perfect whale breach.
If you read our detailed posts about our visit to the Azores, you will see that we really loved these islands. We revelled in the chance to enjoy the rugged volcanic landscape we found. Nature surrounded us everywhere we went. It was an ideal spot for us to enjoy great local food and wine. There was just so many things to do in the Azores.
We found it easy to visit three different islands. We flew into Sao Miguel from Lisbon on a larger plane. The hop to Faial Island was done with the local smaller airlines that services the islands. Our trip to Pico was by ferry. The other islands in the group are equally as easy to visit. We heard so much great things about the other islands that we will definitely plan a return trip!
What would be your favourite of the things do do in the Azores?
I’d love to be stuck in a traffic jam too, if the one causing it are as cool as those cows! 😀 What a lovely list of things to do overall.. Indeed, Azores has an amazing selection of activities that people will love to see and experience.. Personally, the hike to the hills sound pretty cool. Is the trail hard?
We see a lot of great travel deals advertised about the Azores in Canada (because we are always looking for a way to escape winter!) It’s so nice to have this list on hand to inspire our next winter escape!
I’ll have to share this post with my husband, because I’ve been trying to convince him this is another place we need to go. 🙂 The wine, cheese, and hot springs might sell him on it. For me it’s all about the hiking and views. I’d love to do some hiking around the craters!
Cheese, Wine, hot springs and Volcanoes. What else can one ask for? Going to Portugal and to Azores is on my list. Count me in for Whale watching or Dolphin watching any time. I love these huge but graceful creatures.
Oh my goodness, this is really beautiful! The hills look like they have been sculpted to perfection! What a view!
Watching dinner cooked seems such a tempting activity. I am sure to do that.
The Azores sounds like a treasure trove of sights and experiences. Love the natural landscapes. Loved reading about the “traffic jams” and smiled at the cow jams! The hot springs are something else that had me riveted. They look so inviting, though I guess not all of them are swim-worthy.
Wow so many amazing things to do in the Azores. I’d love to taste that Caldera stew – how cool is that being cooked over volcanic steam!!! Fabulous! I’d love to hike with the kids along the volcanic rim too!
Azores sounds so charming. With its natural surroundings and the natural “traffic jams”. I love the various trails that the place seems to promise. I would definitely enjoy the wine and cheese break too. Add to that the pleasure of Whale Watching. Guess I should definitely plan this side of the world!
This reminds me of Hawaii with the black sands and hot springs, I would love to try the local wines and cheese – this all sounds wonderful for me.
Just found your blog and I am really enjoying hearing about your travels. Have you been to Madeira?

This gorgeous companion book to the PBS series illuminates an important, overlooked part of American history.
In this richly researched, beautifully designed and illustrated volume, Maria Laurino strips away stereotypes and nostalgia to tell the complicated, centuries-long story of the true Italian-American experience.
Looking beyond the familiar Little Italys and stereotypes fostered by The Godfather and The Sopranos, Laurino reveals surprising, fascinating lives: Italian-Americans working on sugar-cane plantations in Louisiana to those who were lynched in New Orleans; the banker who helped rebuild San Francisco after the great earthquake; families interned as “enemy aliens” in World War II. From anarchist radicals to “Rosie the Riveter” to Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, and Bill de Blasio; from traditional artisans to rebel songsters like Frank Sinatra, Dion, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, this book is both exploration and celebration of the rich legacy of Italian-American life.
Readers can discover the history chronologically, chapter by chapter, or serendipitously by exploring the trove of supplemental materials. These include interviews, newspaper clippings, period documents, and photographs that bring the history to life.
