No one enjoys thinking about their death and how it will affect their family members and loved ones. This is why estate planning frequently falls to the bottom of the To Do list; everyone knows it is important, but it can be such an unpleasant topic that people tend to procrastinate. However, for residents of Nevada who have children, estate planning should be moved to the top of the list of priorities.
Often, the most important aspect of estate planning is deciding who will care for children if both parents die at the same time. A single individual or a family can be selected. In addition, there are two separate roles to be filled: a Guardian of the Estate manages the financial affairs of the children, while the Guardian of the Person raises the children. These two roles can be performed by separate parties or by the same person, according to the wishes set forth in the estate plan.
Another aspect of an estate plan is choosing someone to make health care decisions on the individual’s behalf if he or she becomes incapacitated. This is a lot of responsibility for the person selected, so it is important to clearly communicate intentions ahead of time. This way, the person in charge of the decision and the rest of the surviving family members are certain of what the individual’s desires would be.
Asset distribution is another issue that will be addressed during the planning process. Having a proper plan can help to accelerate or, in some cases, eliminate the probate process to make the entire situation go smoother. Estate planning isn’t something individuals do for themselves, but rather for their loved ones to save them hassle and grief in the emotional aftermath of their deaths. Residents of Nevada who have questions about estate planning or are ready to begin the process would benefit from the counsel an experienced attorney.

You can usually find a Honda in the top 10 bestselling bikes, so you don’t need us to tell you how good they are. We’re here to help you get a great deal on your Honda motorcycle insurance.
What’s the background to Honda bikes?
What types of motorbike does Honda make?
How much does it cost to insure my Honda motorbike?
What motorbike insurance options are available?
What information will I need to get a Honda motorcycle insurance quote?
Soichiro Honda started making motorcycles in 1946. He hit upon the idea of fitting small engines to bicycle frames. The idea caught on and became popular, so Honda designed his own 50cc engine. In 1949 the first Honda was born – the model D – with the D standing for dream.
In 1958, the C100 Super Cub hit the American market and went on to become the best-selling motorcycle of all time, with over 100 million being built. From there, Honda went on to produce racing bikes, touring bikes, and performance bikes.
Because there are so many different Honda motorcycles available, there’s something for everyone– no matter what type of rider you are.
From the exhilarating Super Sport Fireblade, to the huge 1000cc CRF1000, and the bestselling CB125F often chosen by new riders, Honda motorbikes are highly regarded as well-designed, reliable machines. There’s even a scooter range for low-maintenance transportation.
New models in 2018 include the Forza 300 GT scooter and the PCX 125 and the iconic Honda Monkey is back. They are also introducing some new stylishly stripped back "sport naked" bikes with the Honda CB125R and CB300R.
If you’ve got your hands on one of these popular models, then you’ll need good-value Honda motorcycle insurance.
Loads of factors will affect the price of your Honda motorcycle insurance – these include how long you’ve been riding for, what model you ride and where you live.

Success in every aspect of your life is your aim; you do not wish to be defeated anywhere. The Bhagavad Gita is divine song of God, It is the union of Arjuna and Krishna.The Bhagavad Gita is the essence of the Vedas. It is a universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments, for all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. Two of the most significant passages of the Gita are Lord Krishna’s instructions to Arjuna on the nature of correct actions and the role of God in protecting his devotees. The Bhagavad Gita is a Royal Science of God-Realization.
the cause of your sorrows.
neither are you of the body.
do it as a dedication to God.
Whether the actions are good or evil and whether they are for yourself or for others, all actions are performed by nature and not by us.
Nature has three attributes, namely, sattva, rajas and tamas or purity, passion and delusion, which perform all actions of the senses, body, mind and intellect. Since we are deluded by our ego, we think that we are performing these actions.
Karma Yog is a science or wisdom that frees us from the bonds of actions and attachment with the attributes. According to the Bhagavad Gita, it consists of mentally renouncing the sense of doership in favour of God while performing all actions. This mental renunciation of all actions to God while performing them is called Karma Yog. It endows us with the supreme wisdom—the self-realization that we are God.
Prakriti is said to be the cause behind the act, its instrument and its doer, while Purush is said to be the cause behind the experience of joy and sorrow.
Purush, seated in Prakriti, enjoys the attributes born of Prakriti. The attachment with attributes is the cause of its birth in good and evil wombs.
He who is united and knows the truth thus thinks, ‘I do nothing at all’ and in seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, walking, sleeping, breathing, speaking, releasing, seizing, opening and closing the eyes, believes that only the senses are moving among the objects of senses.
Having crossed over these three attributes arising from the body, the dweller in the body is completely freed from birth, death, old age and sorrow and attains immortality.
The person who does not have faith in this teaching of God and does not practice it will fail to attain wisdom and will be ruined.
Renouncing all actions to Me, with consciousness of self-knowledge, free from hope and egoism, fight without mental fever.
Those men full of faith who constantly practise this teaching of mine and without criticism, they, too, are liberated from actions.
But those who find fault with this teaching of mine and do not practise it, ignorant in all Gyan [wisdom] and unintelligent, know them to be ruined.
O Bharat, as the Avidwan [unwise] act attached to action, so should the Vidwan [wise] act unattached, wishing the welfare of the world.
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever charity you do, whatever austerity you observe, O son of Kunti, offer all that to Me.
Devoted to his own respective actions, each man attains perfection. How does each man, engaged in his own actions, attain perfection, that do thou hear.
He from whom all the beings emerge and by whom all this is pervaded, by worshipping Him with one’s actions, does man attain perfection.
A person does not have to change his lifestyle and actions to practice Karma Yog. All he has to do is to mentally renounce the sense of doership by thinking that nature/ God is performing all actions.
He who thus worships the all-pervading Brahm by his actions will be freed from the three attributes of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. He will be liberated from sorrow, old age and death and shall attain immortality.

1.1 Why do you worry without cause? Whom do you fear without reason? Who can kill you? The soul is neither born, nor does it die.
1.2 Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only.
1.3 You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future.
1.4 The present is happening… What did you lose that you cry about?
1.5 What did you bring with you, which you think you have lost?
1.6 What did you produce, which you think got destroyed?
1.7 You did not bring anything, whatever you have, you received from here. Whatever you have given, you have given only here.
1.8 Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to Him. You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed.
1.9 What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours.
1.10 It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.
1.11 Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life.
1.12 In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty.
1.13 Yours and mine, big & small erase these ideas from your mind.
1.14 Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone. This body is not yours, neither are you of the body.
1.15 The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent – so who are you?
1.16 Dedicate your being to God. He is the one to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow.
1.17 Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.
1.17.0.1 Whenever dharma declines and the purpose of life is forgotten, I manifest myself on earth. I am born in every age to protect the good, to destroy evil, and to reestablish dharma.
1.17.0.2 With a drop of my energy I enter the earth and support all creatures. Through the moon, the vessel of life-giving fluid, I nourish all plants. I enter breathing creatures and dwell within as the life-giving breath. I am the fire in the stomach which digests all food.
1.17.0.3 Those who remember me at the time of death will come to me. Do not doubt this. Whatever occupies the mind at the time of death determines the destination of the dying; always they will tend toward that state of being.
1.17.0.4 While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises. From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.
1.17.0.4.2 He from whom all the beings emerge and by whom all this is pervaded, by worshipping Him with one’s actions, does man attain perfection.

-Yes, we were planning to have another baby.
-No, we did not expect to have twins. We were totally shocked and thrilled.
-Yes, I feel differently with this pregnancy than with the others. I’ve been much more sick and tired.
-No, I don’t know the gender of the twins yet. I haven’t decided if I will find out at my 20 wk ultrasound. I’ve never had a surprise at the end, and I’ve always wanted to, and this may be my last chance!
-Yes, twins run in the family on my mother’s side.
It has been a lot to process, and at times I get overwhelmed thinking about taking care of two newborns and two older children. I hate to say it, but sometimes I just want them to stay inside because I’m just so afraid of how hard it will be when they are born. But when I start on that runaway train of thought, my husband reminds me, “Just remember how you felt when we found out it was twins.” And he’s right–I was thrilled. Looking at the above images, how could you not be? Twenty fingers, twenty toes. Double the sweetness. Twice the chubby cheeks. Quadruple the kisses. Infinite love.

SCOTT EASTWOOD --- enough said!
The movie wasn't spectacular or anything, it was ok, they could of gave it more of a plot or made the story line a little more clearer, but was interesting to see what kind of skills Clint Eastwood son has in acting.
A slow but interesting movie. I would still recommend it to my friends to watch it!

I am going back a way for this but some of the best times in my childhood were spent on family holidays.
We used to go to France a lot. My mother was a polyglot. She spoke English, French, Greek and Norwegian fluently. When she was in her early thirties, she bought herself a Teach Yourself Greek book, and immediately enrolled in the Intermediate class in the local night school, having decided that the Beginner class would be for people who hadn’t thought to buy a book.
When I was about seven, she’d taught me to count to ten in French on the ferry heading over to Brittany. Once on land, it turned out quite quickly that I was inappropriately dressed. It had been cold in Croydon and so I was head to foot in wool. In France, it was pretty warm, and so we went into a shop. My Dad didn’t have any of the language, and I could only count to ten, so my mother took control of the situation. It was an attitude that suited her well.
Calling over a shop assistant with a wave of her hand, she asked him, in a language neither my Dad nor I could understand, for a t-shirt for her seven year old daughter. The man looked at her for some time before she tried again. Pulling at her sleeve, I told her that I hadn’t heard her say “Sept” yet. It was then that she realised she was speaking Norwegian.
A day or two later, we saw a crepe stall on the side of the road, and my mother, in her wheelchair and therefore unable to see over the counter, taught my Dad, by rote, how to place an order. She threw in a little bit of counting for good measure. He repeated exactly what she had said in the vain hope it was a language of some sort, but couldn’t quite manage the “s’il vous plait” bit so went with – “Un, deux, trois crepes er… please.” It was all a little bit “Thank you very much” in The Great Escape.
My mother had a soft little idea that if we moved to France before I was twelve, I’d pick up the language in moments. Once I turned twelve, she figured it was too late and, not long after, we settled in Devon. I don’t say that Devon was the last resort. It was just that it seemed better to simply persevere with English at that point.
Okay. Day 36 of 365 Happy Things – Family Holidays.

Soundproof-type generator sets are used in all industrial fields as they are designed for super soundproof and efficient operation. And they are also built with strong frames. This is why there is no problem with operating even in harsh industrial environments.
A diesel engine is suitable for medium or large usage with high thermal efficiency advantages. However, its disadvantages include high fuel cost and environmental factors as it is not considered as environment-friendly, so the dual fuel generator is becoming a trend at present. Dual fuel generators are an environmentally friendly diesel power system, and with the same output and simple system installation, they are superior to existing diesel generators, especially when it comes to fuel cost, which is more than three times cheaper.
With pollutants regulations, the demand for dual fuel generators is expected to increase in the future to take advantage of various effects of reduced emissions. D-ECO ENERGY has established a system for continuous research and development to improve engine efficiency and maintenance through secure system components with development of fuel mixture control technology.

Gyeongsangnam-do consists of eight cities and ten counties, with an area of 10,537.32km2 that comprises 10.51% of the total territory of the Republic of Korea. It is currently considered one of the highest-level locations in wide-area municipalities nationwide to be invested by foreign investors.
Some key factors are leading the municipality’s attractiveness to investors – airports(Gimhae International Airport and Sacheon Airport), traffic networks (seven stations in expressway and two stations in KTX (Korea Train Express), economic zones (two economic zones, two foreign investment zones, and one free trade zone), international ports (Busan Port, Gwangyang Port and Masan Port), and industrial complexes(4,874 companies residing in seven national industrial complexes and 158 general industrial complexes).
Thanks to favorable business backgrounds including such factors, it recorded KRW 95.63 trillion in Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) as of 2012, taking 6.9 percent of Gross Domestic Product(GDP) of the Republic of Korea and the 3rd highest GRDP among all provinces across the nation.
The per capita GRDP, as of 2012, was KRW 29 million, marking the sixth highest position among all provinces of Korea. The production structure of Gyeongsangnam-do is composed of 3.8 % in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery, 47.1% in Mining and Manufacturing, 4.6% in Construction, and 44.5% in Services, and others. As of 2013, the export amount came to US$51.9 billion, comprising 9.3% of national exports of US$ 559.6 billion.
Korea seems to have been hit more seriously than other countries by the global economic downturn as its exports are contracting steeply. With the outlook still negative due to external uncertainties, economists estimate that exports, once a sustaining pillar of the economy, will eat into economic growth this year.
According to OECD data, Korea’s exports have been contracting since January last year when they marked a 0.9 percent decrease. That figure, however, was the fourth best among 31 OECD countries where data was available, as most countries saw exports decrease. Only Japan, Ireland and Mexico saw their exports increase.
However, Korea has seen its exports dip steeper than most other countries. Exports contracted 10.6 percent in May last year, and dipped 15 percent in August, making the country rank 19th in terms of exports. Korea has since slid to 28th as its exports dipped 18.9 percent in January and 12.7 percent in February.
“Domestic consumption will contribute to most of the economic growth this year while exports will continue to be negative,” the National Assembly Budget Office forecast in a report. It estimated that contracting exports will pull down the GDP growth rate by 0.2 percentage points. Exports are likely to fall 5.6 percent this year while imports will drop further by 7.4 percent, according to the budget office.
Last year, exports pulled down economic growth by 1 percentage point as exports dropped 8 percent. As a result, economic growth stood at 2.6 percent, propped up by domestic consumption. “Due to a slowdown in the global economy and trade, coupled with falling oil prices and excessive supply, exports are expected to contract this year as well,” the budget offi ce said.
The government is turning somewhat optimistic about exports, pointing out that the decrease is slowing its pace. “As the quantity of exports is increasing, we expect that a recovery of prices will lead to an improvement in the latt er half of the year,” said Cheong Seung-il, deputy trade minister.
Experts, however, are pessimistic about seeing a notable rebound amid contracting global trade. “It will take some considerable time until exports make a notable increase,” said Ju Won, an economist at Hyundai Research Institute, pointing out that there are both structural problems and short-term factors behind the falling exports.
Combined global sales of South Korea’s largest and second-largest automakers Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. climbed 6.7 percent on year to 672,000 units in May, thanks to an increase in sales of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in the world’s two largest auto markets – China and the United States, Hyundai Motor Group said recently. It is the first on-year rise in their monthly car shipments in fi ve months.
According to Hyundai and Kia, their total global shipments during the January-May period amounted to 3,139,000 units, down 4.1 percent from the same period of last year. Their sales fell 13.7 percent on year in January, 3.8 percent in February, 1.7 percent in March and 7.7 percent in April.
Snapping the losing streak, the Korean auto group’s sales at overseas markets gained 5.4 percent on year in May – in particular, in the U.S. and China. Hyundai and Kia’s total shipments to China jumped 16.6 percent to 150,000 units in May from a year earlier, the highest sales record for May in the country. Market experts expect their sales to the world’s largest auto markets are likely to continue to improve for the next few months partly because of the base effect as their sales in China had been sluggish from May to August last year.
The automakers in May also delivered combined 133,900 units to the U.S., up 6.3 percent from a year earlier to all-time monthly high. Hyundai and Kia’s total sales made up 8.7 percent in the U.S. market, the highest this year.
The recovery in sales in the U.S. and China largely owe to growing demand for their SUVs that sold 53,000 units last month in China, up a whopping 85 percent on year. Hyundai’s fl agship SUV models Tucson and Santa Fe as well as Kia’s Sportage drove their U.S. sales in May, according to the companies. Total sales of the three SUV models surged from 88 percent to 91 percent from a year ago. An unnamed offi cial at Hyundai Motor Group said Hyundai and Kia are upbeat for the remainder of the year as newer Tucson and Sportage model have been faring well in key markets and releases of compact SUVs Niro and Creta are planned for the second half.
South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co. announced recently that it signed a memorandum of understanding with Air Liquide S.A., a French industrial gas company, to boost cooperation to take lead in the global hydrogen electric vehicles, as part of its efforts to vitalize the hydrogen electric vehicle market.
The Korean car maker explained that Air Liquide is a French company with world-class technologies related to hydrogen production and construction and operation of hydrogen plants. Hyundai Motor in cooperation with Air Liquide plans to push for the revitalization of the hydrogen electric vehicle market, utilizing hydrogen as a clean new renewable energy and development of business models of hydrogen energy stations.
A hydrogen electric vehicle refers to a car that drives by operating a motor using electricity generated by hydrogenoxygen reaction. The car is regarded as an eco-friendly car emitting not air pollution substances and green house gases but just water.
Hyundai Motor successfully mass produced hydrogen electric vehicles of the Tucson in 2013. The company has developed a next-generation hydrogen electric vehicle with higher mileage, aiming to release it in 2018. Hyundai Motor Group plans to increase hydrogen electric vehicle models to two by 2020.
South Korea’s exports continue in downward spiral, recording double-digit contraction in the first 20 months in June to suggest that Korea would extend losing streak in exports for the longest-ever 18 consecutive months.
According to Korea Customs Service the country’s outbound shipments amounted to $25.66 billion in the first 20 days of June, down 12.8 percent from the same period last year. Korea has never had experienced such lengthy setback on the external trade front since exports data was compiled from a half century ago. This year’s accumulated exports up until June 20 amounted to $222.1 billion, down 11.6 percent from the same period last year. The decline was steeper than the 11.5 percent on-year drop in the Jan.- May period.
The customs office said that the fall in exports was largely due to reduced shipments of electronic integrated circuits amid flood of cheaper Chinese products. Exports of electronic integrated circuits in the June 1-20 period plunged 9.1 percent from a year ago. In May, Korea’s exports came to $39.8 billion, down 6 percent from a year ago to register 17-straight-month decline amid prolonged sluggishness in global economy and oil prices.
Mr. Sang-mok Lee, manager of the Korea National Ppuri Industry Center, strenuously insists that without strengthening the competitiveness of the root industry, the roots of Korean manufacturing cannot become compacted tightly, while emphasizing the importance of root industry.
According to the definition provided in Article 2 of ‘The Law on the Root Industry Promotion and Modernization’ enacted in 2011, root industry means the industry which leads the business sector by utilizing such process technologies as molding, casting, welding, plastic working, surface treatment, heat treatment, et al.
Considering that the Korean economy has been growing based on the manufacturing industry until now, we can say that the role and function of root industry forming the backbone of the manufacturing industry is very important for strengthening Korea’s global competitiveness. On this account, the government is practicing various policies for enhancing root industry and, thereby developing it as a high value-added industry.

There’s something about those packets of instant noodles that please – and at the same time, assault – the senses, especially when cooked. Instant ramen is nowhere near its Japanese equivalent; it’s just that hulking, dehydrated mass of carbohydrates and sodium, with those tiny morsels of dried herbs that cut the jaundiced mass with refreshing – and depressing – bits of green. There’s the consolation, too, that the noodles are nutritious.
The mother, after attending to her brood, will now proceed to make the meal of the day. There’s enough fuel in the very small LPG tank for this one meal, while the rice has to be bought on credit from the nearby carinderia. In goes the noodles, in goes the flavoring packs. Flavors like “chicken” or “beef” don’t really matter; if they were really honest about it, “monosodium glutamate” makes for bad marketing. It’s just that: water, flour, and sodium.
Besides, when you water down the noodles enough, whatever flavor is in there disappears. You don’t follow the ratio that there is in the pack, knowing that it takes two packs of instant noodles to completely satisfy the hunger of one grown person. Instead, you improvise; the point behind instant noodles is no longer to be a meal in itself, but as a condiment. It takes practice, but you can water down noodles enough – and cook them in such a way – that everyone gets to flavor their rice with broth.
As Malacañang gives itself a pat on the back for the lower hunger incidence rates that apparently show that This Government’s programs work, it fails to understand a lot of things about hunger. If hunger is all about statistics derived from the results of a five-point Likert scale, then it’s all good. The problem is that hunger is not a mere issue of variance and kurtosis.
Foster good health and adequate nutrition. We all eat something because it’s necessary. Remember that food pyramid back in grade school? Each part of that food pyramid satisfy nutrients, vitamins, and minerals needed by the body to make us grow, go, and glow. Besides, if we don’t eat, we get sick and we die. It’s a blinding flash of the obvious, but some people are oblivious to that, so it’s often necessary to repeat it.
Foster human dignity. The fact that food is essential to survival means that food should also be an important measurement in the quality of life. Preferences to food may be subjective, but there is always that lower limit of what constitutes a meal. For that, we need to go back to health and adequate nutrition, as well as the context by which these meals take place. For all intents and purposes, that lower limit should satisfy – not merely delay – hunger. In the Philippines, the idea of a “meal” is rather common: that’s why you have this much rice, this as viand, a side to go with that viand, and something to wash that down with.
Don’t get me wrong, statistics are very useful tools to evaluate stuff from a bird’s-eye view. The problem is that statistics are what they are: numbers. Without interpretations to back up statistical data, the numbers are pretty much useless. A 15% reduction in the incidence of hunger does not mean that the hunger mitigation programs of This Government actually work. I’m not saying that This Government is not doing anything to address the hunger, it’s just that most of the time, people take it upon themselves to solve their hunger.
Just because the numbers agree with your program or initial hypothesis does not mean that you can give yourself a much-needed pat on the back. I subscribe to a little rule when I do what passes for “social analysis:” the extremes set the limits to – if not define – the means. The Bell curve, or an array of statistical data, often disregards outliers in any given set; in many distributions, it is often the case that the outlier data and not the mean that tells the best story of why the mean exists in the first place.
This is why I think that an “obsession” with the gap between rich and poor exists; these may not be the stories we want or like to hear, but poverty has almost always been the pressing issue of our time. And it is often the case that food, and issues and stories surrounding food, that are the best indicators of poverty. It’s not about debunking statistics, as it is about looking into some examples of the extremes to see if they justify the means.
The point here is not to debunk statistics and to say that the survey respondents “lied,” but to look at the exceptions that define the rules. Hunger may be an objective reality that we all have to face, but it is often a very subjective and personal experience. In a world defined by a lot of self-reliance and a (not necessarily wrong) belief that hunger and poverty is often caused by laziness, we sort of forget that some of the hardest workers in this country usually end up being the poorest and the hungriest.
So why aren’t people hungry, why did the hunger incidence in this country drop, and why does Government pat itself on the back? It’s not that Government vegetable trucks are selling eggplants at very affordable prices, but because many hungry Filipinos have found substitutes for nutritious food that foster our humanity as well as our dietary needs.
“Magpalipas ng gutom.” Rough English translation: “to pass hungry times,” or “pass the hunger.” In “pagpapalipas ng gutom,” the point is to substitute a meal with time; it is to ignore the body’s need for food and address the problem with something else. For most people, the solution is often to sleep for long hours in the morning all through mid-afternoon, effectively skipping two meals and maximizing meager resources for just one meal.
In situations where there is food, substitution also works. The market is full of cheap foods that have, in many situations, worked to calm hunger pangs in a pinch. While they are anything but nutritious, you really can’t ask for much if you’re poor and hungry. Instead of those “Go,” “Glow,” and “Grow” foods that we have all learned to appreciate (and perhaps even hate) back in grade school, the foods available to the wretched hungry are substitutes for decent food.
I don’t have to romanticize or give it a pathetic literary treatment, but I think we’re all familiar with food substitutes like cooking grease, thin gruel, salt, corn chips, small packets of peanuts, cigarettes, liquor, softdrinks, and the like.
I don’t have a grand solution to end world hunger, much less hunger in the Philippines. I don’t eat at all, or eat “kain pusa” myself on occasion as a matter of personal choice (it’s unhealthy and self-destructive, I know). What I have been ranting about for the past couple of hours is that The Government should look beyond the statistics and not give itself a pat on the back just yet; to take the numbers with more than a grain of salt.
While it is true that much of hunger should be solved by individuals and breadwinners at the household level, addressing hunger at a higher level should not be a goal of lowering the percentage; that does absolutely, positively nothing. This is why I think that The Government and its Agencies should treat hunger mitigation programs not only as a means to allow people to ingest and digest, but also to satisfy. Beyond the numbers; not that we’re going to feed the poor parmigiana or puttanesca, but that food programs and hunger mitigation projects can level the playing field a bit, and make it fair and possible for the hungry to sustain themselves in the long run. It’s more like the long process of making a malignant social problem like hunger become benign.
As far as nutrition and satisfaction goes, I would rather have Government get rid of those “Sangkap Pinoy” instant noodles out of the relief packs and replace them with real grain, real vegetables, real protein sources, and real food. How do we go about that? To be honest, I don’t really know. Maybe, just maybe, we can start with incentives for farming and livestock, reduce spending in national defense and turn bullets to plowshares, backyard gardening, or mull over, at the very least, on ideas like turning idle land assets of This Government into farms subsidized by philantrophists and part of the national budget. Yet since every solution is met with more grains of salt, I guess we can come together to form at least one agreeable solution to the chronic problem of hunger. Not because we understand it or because we have a better idea of it, but because we care enough for those whose lives are almost always stories of hunger.
Any solution, just not the cholera-colored mass that the poor feed themselves – and are fed – on a daily basis.

In the calculus of faith, Jesus clearly taught that seeing is not equal to believing. But, sometimes seeing does help with comprehension. This past fall my wife and I participated in the CPCC trip to Israel. One of the highlights was a visit to Caesarea Philippi where we viewed the ruins of the Temple of Pan (a Greek god). This temple was standing in Jesus’ day and was built into the face of what must be a 100 foot high natural stone wall. The grottos are visible yet today. Jesus invested a 25 mile trek over rocky terrain to take his disciples to this site where he made the famous declaration, “I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) Many scholars (and our tour guide) believe that the “gates of hell” to which Jesus was referring was the imposing stone façade (photo by Tom Klage) that encompassed the Temple of Pan.
While intellectually I’ve always understood that Jesus’ intent here was a church on the offensive, like many in the American church, emotionally and behaviorally I’ve too frequently envisioned a church on the defensive, e.g., defending a Christian worldview, defending the unborn, defending our values. Rather than attacking the gates of hell, I’m afraid too often we’ve huddled behind church walls, hoping the enemy’s attack won’t reach us.
It’s against this visual backdrop that I now envision our partner ministry in India, ASSI, as – with the financial support of Connection Pointe’s Unstoppable initiative – they embark upon ministry in Jaipur.
This capital city of Rajasthan state (often referred to as the “Pink City”) is not only home to 3.1 million people, beautiful temples, and ornate palaces; it’s also the headquarters of the BJP, which is the Indian political party of radical Hindus.
The Indian church is on the offensive as Jesus commanded. They’re marching against the “gates of hell” in their locale, taking on the enemy with the Lord’s strategy and power. It’s an example and a lesson for us.

Back in 2004, Mariachi Los Changuitos Feos celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Randy Carrillo, right, goes over music with Los Changuitos Feos music director Art Pepin in the late 1960s.
I created some video content for the Tucson Citizen at the time to tell the story of America’s longest continuously active youth mariachi, and to document the group’s 40th anniversary celebration.
The videos include clips with Monsignor Carrillo, whose enthusiasm for mariachi music inspired Father Rourke to start Mariachi Los Changuitos Feos; the families and members of Mariachi Cobre talking about a variety of Changos experiences, Joel Valdez talking about the idea to create college scholarships for the young mariachis, performances by Mariachi Cobre, and what would turn out to be the final performance of the father of Chicano music, Lalo Guerrero.
In 2014 the group will celebrate 50 years in action. This group has in so many ways to Tucson’s transformation, in part from the travels it took, from its notion of creating college scholarships, and from the accomplishments of its many graduates.
Origins of Tucson youth group Mariachi Los Changuitos Feos, and memories of its members of places the group traveled.
Family members of early participants in Los Changuitos Feos talk about the early days of Tucson’s first youth mariachi.
Highlights from the 40th anniversary celebration of Mariachi Los Changuitos Feos.

Through sun damage, hormonal changes, and the simple process of aging, your face and body may see some significant changes in skin tightness and fat distribution. Surgical procedures can offer one solution to these concerns, but you may see the results you want without any surgical incisions thanks to the advanced technology of ThermiTight. EBS Plastic Surgery proudly offers the ThermiTight procedure, which is a revolutionary method for addressing problem areas using carefully targeted radiofrequency energy.
ThermiTight offers a number of benefits—including fat reduction, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction. It achieves these effects using a needle-thin electrode that delivers radiofrequency energy to the tissue below the skin. This energy gently heats the subdermal tissue to promote increased production of collagen in target areas. ThermiTight is often combined with liposuction to create toned final results in the neck and body. Because ThermiTight works by promoting natural processes in the tissue, results develop gradually with predictable outcomes.
You can use ThermiTight almost anywhere that common signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin are a concern. Here’s a closer look at what ThermiTight can do in frequently treated problem areas.
Face – ThermiTight is gentle enough for rejuvenating aging skin on the face without pain or discomfort. There is virtually no downtime with the procedure, so it may even be used during your lunch hour to correct laugh lines, brow wrinkles, or sagging skin along the jawline.
Neck – It is not uncommon for pockets of fat to create bulk in the chin and neck, diminishing your facial definition over the years. ThermiTight can restore your youthful appearance and promote collagen production in areas of the neck subject to the most age-related damage.
Body – The abdomen, breasts, and upper arms are all common areas for ThermiTight treatment—particularly when combined with liposuction. Because treatment has such a low downtime, it may be an ideal solution for shaping your beach body before summer or looking your best for special occasions on short notice.
Compared to more complex surgical procedures, ThermiTight is an affordable option for skin tightening and body contouring. Plus, it has very few potential side effects with no downtime for recovery. Results look completely natural, since they are facilitated by the restoration of collagen production that might otherwise slow down in the aging process.
ThermiTight is a non-surgical procedure, but the best results with ThermiTight are still achieved with the care of a Board Certified plastic surgeon. To find the exceptional care you need for skin tightening near Manhattan, call EBS Plastic Surgery at (212) 517-5600 and schedule your complimentary consultation with Dr. Singer.

I wanted to ask whether if anyone knows how do one change the logo which appears at system startup. Just like Compaq OR Dell does. As soon as we start up the system the logo appears and then the computer boots up.
Secondly, Is it possible to get the company logo on My Computer Properties ??? Again like Dell or Compaq with the processor speed and Memory.
Do we need to use any special kind of software for that?? If yes can anyone please tell me where can i download that from?
The logo that displays on boot is programmed in the BIOS for either the motherboard or video card.
To change it, you would need to have a custom BIOS code created for you.
Expect to pay at least $70 (US) per BIOS code. You will need a different BIOS code for each different motherboard used in your PCs.
As to the graphics displayed on System Properties, that you can change.
Hi Chas, Thank you for your help. The second link which you gave me contains the software only which can be used only on win98/95. Can you recommend any software for XP and 2000??

If you are looking for reliable and affordable technical translation services, you have come to the right place!
Technical translation is one of the most actual types of translation services. Complexity of technical translation is stipulated by its many-sidedness as it is needed by oil-and-gas companies, engineering companies, chemical plants, building companies and electric appliances producers.
Selecting translators who have highly specializedbackground and relevant experience.
Generating a vocabulary for each project, which help to standardize frequently used words and expressions.
Ensuring localization is a part of every technical translation, making sure that such details like time zones, national currency, public holidays, local color sensitivities, anticipations and needs of the target market are not missed.
When translating technical documents translator deals with highly-specialized terms which require truly encyclopedic knowledge. If there is no such knowledge then translation of polymer synthesis process description or research center’s working results will lose its meaning.
Technical translation services are available from or to English, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Italian and other languages.
Technical translations always made in such a manner that the translated text would be plain and clear to those who the translation is made for. This is why when doing technical translation we only engage those translators who have technical knowledge. Furthermore after the text has been translated it is edited and proofread by corresponding specialists.
Amateurism is unacceptable in technical translation. If translation is made by a translator who does not have special knowledge value of the translation will be about zero. Distortions and even full loss of meaning are completely inevitable. Which means that technical translations should only be ordered in companies with good repute.

Carrot cake holds a special place in my heart. Ever since I was little, I’d always pick the carrot cake muffin at the mall. What kid in their right mind would pick carrot cake!? This one, apparently. While all the other kids shoveled in the chocolate chip muffins, I sat with my carrot one, happy as a bunny.
With memories of carrot cake muffins swirling in my head, I got to work on the best raw carrot cake EVER.
I served this after a marvelous Easter dinner with devilled eggs, potatoes, salmon, salad, and turkey. It was super fresh and super yummy. After this very rich meal, I brought out the carrot cake and guess what…everyone at the table loved it! Even my grandpa who eats the same old thing day in and day out thought it was amazing! It was so cool to be able to share my love of healthy eating with my relatives!
1. Start off by rough chopping the dates. Then dump them into a large food processor and blend until they form a thick, chunky, sticky paste. You may need to stop every now and then and scrape the sides.
2. Add in the walnuts, carrots, coconut oil, coconut, coconut flour, and spices. Grind it all up until it forms a thick dough. It’ll still be a little chunky, but that’s what you want! Don’t over stuff the food processor; do it in batches, so once you’ve got all your ingredients in there and mingling, take half of it out and grind up the other half. Place that finished dough ball in a parchment lined pan and then grind up the rest. Trust me…it’s not gonna work otherwise!
3. For the icing, dump the cashews, maple syrup, melted (and cooled) coconut oil, milk, and vanilla into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. You might need to add some water to get it going. Aim for a thick, frosting-like consistency. Feel free to add more stevia to up the sweetness level. I found it needed the boost.
4. Line a square casserole dish with parchment paper and dump the carrot cake dough into the dish. Press firmly with your hands.
5. Spread with icing and freeze until you’re ready to serve it! I found it was best straight out of the freezer. It cuts like a real carrot cake!
Jennifer is a theatre artist, food blogger and lifestyle writer. After studying Creative Writing at Concordia University in Montreal, Jennifer moved to Toronto to pursue a career in playwrighting. She unexpectedly fell in love with healthy eating and decided to start her own food blog called, Jenn and Jac Snack in 2011 which she shares with her twin sister Jac. Since then, she has been geeking out over health food trends and all forms of natural healing. Jennifer has seen first-hand how powerful food can be and fully supports the notion that "food can heal". You will usually find her at the theatre or in the kitchen creating healthy and delicious recipes.

Dots Scrapbooking: Some Basics on preventing a "Hot Mess"
OK, I have to admit that the last time I re-inked one of my stamp pads, I kept filling the pad and all of a sudden there was a small puddle in the middle. Oops... I started inking a stamp and the ink was all over, in the crevices, on the block, on my hands. Clearly, it was a "hot mess". I've sopped and sopped and there is still too much ink in that pad.
Time to go back to the basics. There is always time for a refresher course when there are things you just don't do very often. Low and behold, CTMH TV comes to the rescue!
We are never to old to learn!!
Go to my website and the CTMH-TV bar at the top and watch and learn from the short videos.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

James completed a BA Honors in Fine Art at Loughborough University in 2011 and currently lives and works in Norfolk, England.
James Rawson is a multi-disciplinary artist. His esoteric paintings and charcoal works explore a world of primal matter and familiar structures with unknown origins that blur the lines between sculpture and painting.
Rawson's material-driven process is deeply minimalist in appearance, resonating with enigmatic structures and ideal sculptural forms. His works recall the influence of Minimalism and the Gutai avant-garde movement. By placing emphasis on the process and act of artistic creation, rather than a stylised compositional narrative, Rawson's art is as conceptual as it is physical. At once, he removes the artist's gestural hand while simultaneanously conveying the physical, corporeal reality of the art object itself. Grounded with the burnt embers of charcoal, there is tactile and textured nature to the artwork, where there remains a presence a human quality of the artwork, with viewers often tempted to reach out and interact with each piece directly.

Britain’s favourite flower is found in abundance in the Trossachs National Park, and this tour will try to catch bluebell glades in full bloom. A chance to stay at two of Roadmark’s favourite hotels, enjoy the scenery of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, and take a ride on one of Britain’s best-loved railways.
The Winnock is a family-run hotel, created around an 18th-century inn, on the village green in pretty Drymen. We will receive a warm welcome, quality cuisine, good service and entertainment. The 73 bedrooms are traditional in style, furnished in tartan fabrics. There is no lift, but ground floor rooms are available on request.
A taxi will take you to the coach and then we’re off to Skipton in North Yorkshire today. Stay for one night, with dinner, bed and breakfast, at the comfortable Rendezvous Hotel by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
After breakfast board the coach for the short ride to Skipton Station. The Settle to Carlisle Railway is regarded as one of the most impressive and scenic railways in the UK. Opened in 1876, it took six years to build. The 72-mile journey takes us across 21 viaducts, including the famous Ribblehead Viaduct, through the wild scenery of the North Pennines, Eden Valley and Yorkshire Dales. We arrive in Carlisle, where there will be time for lunch before driving through the Scottish borders and on to our Hotel in Drymen. We join the Hotel management for a welcome drink before dinner.
A day’s adventure in the Trossachs. We drive through Aberfoyle then over the spectacular Dukes Pass to pretty Lock Katrine, looking out for those carpets of blue along the way. After a soup and sandwich lunch we will set sail on the Steamship SS Sir Walter Scott for an afternoon cruise. After dinner the Hotel has arranged a weaponry display and storytelling.
A short drive takes us to Loch Lomond, where we will embark on a cruise. One of the Loch’s many islands is tranquil Inch Cailloch, and we will land for a while to experience its wild, natural beauty. In spring the Island is usually carpeted with bluebells. Back at the Hotel this evening we have a Scottish Show, with bagpipes, haggis and Highland dancing.
After breakfast we set off to explore Duntreath Castle, with its attractive grounds and 15th century keep. We will be met by Lady Edmonstone and Sir Archie who will show us around their wonderful home. Afterwards, enjoy morning coffee and homebaking before we return to the hotel for an included lunch. A lazy afternoon in Drymen is followed by dinner and live music.
A prompt departure after breakfast, travelling south past Glasgow and joining the motorway. Home to Sussex where the taxis await.

The House of Representatives Committee on Pensions has endorsed the ongoing verification exercise of pensioners NITEL/Mtel by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD).
It said the exercise was an affirmation of the quality of service being carried out by the agency.
Chairman of the committee, Hassan Shekarau who spoke during a surprise visit to one of the venues of the ongoing verification of the NITEL/Mtel pensioners in Kano, assured the agency of continued support to ensure federal pensioners get what belongs to them.
The legislator, who was there as part of oversight functions, also assured the House will support the Directorate to hasten budgetary process for funds to be released to pay the pensioners their entitlements.
He advised the pensioners to be calm and exercise patience while their entitlement is being worked out.
The Executive Secretary of PTAD, Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, told pensioners the exercise is being carried out to create a database to ensure government make adequate budgetary provision for pension payment annually.

About two to three percent of the United States’ school-age population are currently homeschooled (Bielick, Chandler, & Broughman, 2001; Ray, 2001). Proportionally, the growth of the homeschool population far exceeds that of public school enrollment. In a two-year period, Colorado’s homeschool rate has multiplied fifteen times (LaRue & LaRue, 1991). Homeschooling is currently the choice of “100 times more American families than 20 years ago” (Sharp, 1997, p. 4). The Home School Legal Defense Association claims at least a 25 percent growth over the past 10 years (Weston, 1996) and some estimate the homeschool population is growing ten times faster than public school enrollment (Suryaraman, 1996).
The growing controversial homeschool movement, whose population is mostly taught by noncredentialed parents, boasts in many cases academic achievement that significantly surpasses that of the traditional public school setting. Research consistently supports that homeschooled children, on average, do as well as or better than children in conventional school settings (Arizona State Department of Education, 1989; Klicka, 1997; Ray, 1990, 1997, 1998; State of Oregon, 1990; State of Tennessee, 1988; Wartes, 1988). With such success, the homeschool movement deserves careful study to analyze why it is a viable alternative for many families and to give feedback for school reform for the traditional school setting.
1. What are the demographic characteristics of parents who homeschool in Southern California?
2. What factors push parents out of the traditional school setting?
3. What factors pull parents into the homeschool setting?
4. Is there a relationship between socioeconomic status and reasons why a parent chooses to homeschool?
5. If money were not a factor, what would a parent’s first choice be in educating his or her children?
To date, no previous systematic, quantitative research has been conducted by the State of California to determine why parents are choosing home-based education over traditional education (Dennee, 1998) and minimal private research has been conducted in California. This study will begin to fill the vacuum of literature in this area, and hopefully help facilitate the concept that cooperation and collaboration with parents are essential aspects of any educational setting, encouraging the American public to listen to the voice of homeschool parents, embracing insights they have to offer in the area of school reform.
This specific study examines reasons parents homeschool in Southern California through Independent Study Programs (ISP). This particular ISP is a public ISP funded by tax dollars. Parents who enroll their children in this program use interdistrict transfers from districts of residence. Average daily attendance (ADA) funds are then transferred to the county program via Sacramento. Public funds are then used to hire credentialed teachers to collaborate with parents as they homeschool their children. Teachers also assess, track progress, and offer a variety of elective parent and student workshops, as well as tutorials, to supplement the child’s home instruction. Public funds are used to purchase a variety of state-approved textbooks. Parents and teachers together choose texts that meet their children’s academic needs, and parents supplement with additional materials.
children out of the conventional school setting and reasons why they chose home-based study as the alternative educational program for their children.
This study is limited to a self-selected sample of 332 parents from 40 school districts in Southern California counties. This study examines the perceptions of a specialized population of homeschoolers who were teaching their children at home while enrolled in an Independent Study Program with the Orange County Department of Education. This study is dependent upon parents’ perceptions of reasons why they homeschool.
Another limitation is that many parents who completed the survey have more than one child. The survey did not have a method for weighting specific responses for varying numbers of children. For example, a mother of three might be homeschooling one child for social reasons and the other two children for academic reasons. The survey requires that this parent make one response representing family reasons for homeschooling all of his or her children.
Demographic characteristics of homeschool families are not systematically available throughout the United States or in other countries; however, there appears to be consistent patterns showing that homeschool families are intact families with both mother and father in the home (Kilgore, 1987; Rakestraw, 1988; Wartes, 1988); the mother is usually the primary instructor (Kilgore, 1987; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Ray, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988); income levels are above average (Kilgore, 1987; Rakestraw, 1988; Ray 1991, 1993, 1995b; Wartes, 1988); parents are college-educated (Rakestraw, 1988; Ray, 1991, 1993, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988); and there is usually an average of three children in the home (Rakestraw, 1988; Ray, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988). Most homeschool families are Caucasian (Ray, 1995a) and the average homeschool child is in elementary school (Ray, 1997).
Van Galen (1988) divided homeschool parents into two groups: ideologues and pedagogues (in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991). Ideologues desire to impart values to their children and strengthen family bonds; whereas, pedagogues, are primarily concerned with academic achievement and leave the traditional public school because it is not working for their family. These parents reject the traditional school system and attempt to give their children a superior education at great personal sacrifice. The group of parents who are pedagogues may have special needs children (Duvall, et. al, 1997; Knowles cited in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991) or gifted children (Knowles cited in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991) for whom an excellent education may require more than public categorical programs can offer. The literature confirms that the two categories of homeschool parents, ideologues and pedagogues, do exist; however, the literature also confirms that there is a third category.
The third category consists of those parents who homeschool for a variety of social factors. These parents may be concerned about the negative influence of peers and desire more positive role models for their children (McIntire & Windham, 1995). Or, they may simply be concerned that their own child’s social behavior will not be appropriate in the traditional school environment (e.g., a child with ADD or ADHD). Or, the parent may have safety concerns that have to do with their immediate community/social environment (Bempechant, Drago-Severson, Dinndorf, 1994, p. 57).
Throughout the literature, predominate reasons for homeschooling appear to fall into three large categories: moral/religious reasons (Gray, 1992; Kilgore, 1987; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Madden, 1991; Mayberry, 1988; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Wartes, 1988; Van Galen, 1988 in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991); instructional/curricular reasons (Cohen, 1995; Gibbs, 1994; Kilgore, 1987; Knowles, 1988; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Madden, 1991; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Van Galen, 1988 in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Wartes, 1988); and social/safety factors (Bempechant, Drago-Severson, Dinndorf, 1994; Cohen, 1995; Gibbs, 1994; Gray, 1992; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Sharp, 1997; and Wartes, 1988).
When parents were asked in California, “Why are you homeschooling?” many of their responses fell into the category of curricular and instructional concerns and moral concerns. However, a host of other reasons promote home-based, independent study in California. These reasons include “drugs, gangs, and negative influences at the schools” (California Department of Education, 1994, pp. 7-1) as stated in the Independent Study Operations manual for the State of California.
The sampling procedure used, rather than being random, was an attempt to survey the entire population of homeschoolers enrolled in the Community Home Education Program (CHEP), Orange County Department of Education. Eight hundred and seventy-one families were enrolled in the program, in January 1997, when the surveys were made available. When families came onto the campuses for their mid-year conferences, they waited in lobbies where surveys were available on a table. Thirty-eight percent or 332 families of the 871 families elected to respond.
The researcher wrote an original survey based upon the following experience: interviewing in person approximately 100 homeschool families in the private sector during the 1980s, interviewing by phone officials involved with homeschooling or correspondence schools in the Ministry or Departments of Education in all the Canadian province capitals in 1994, calling the US State Departments of Education from 1993–1994, editing McIntire and Windham’s Home Schooling: Answer to Questions Parents Most Often Ask from 1993 to 1995 which eventually became the American Booksellers’ Pick of the List in the Parent Category in Fall 1996, and interviewing 100 plus homeschool families in the public sector from 1995–1997 for the Orange County Department of Education. Based upon these experiences, a three-page survey was constructed with four sections: (1) the push/pull factors that influence families to homeschool, (2) a Community Home Education Satisfaction Scale, (3) benchmark factors (SES, gender, ethnicity, etc.), and (d) literacy questions. Sections one and three are pertinent to this research project.
In constructing the push/pull factor section, the researcher attempted to include categories for all factors that parents identified during interviews as influential in their decision to homeschool. These factors were divided into two categories—those factors which drove parents out of the traditional school setting (PUSH FACTORS) and those factors which drove them into the homeschool setting (PULL FACTORS).
After constructing the initial draft of the survey instrument over several weeks with many editing sessions, the researcher asked Philip Dreyer, Ph.D., of Claremont Graduate University, to review the survey. After inputting his suggestions, she took the survey to the Community Home Education Program staff of the Orange County Department of Education, which was the largest public home-based educational program under independent study law in the State of California at the time of this writing.
At a Fall 1996 meeting, 38 credentialed teachers, who had supervised homeschool families for from one to nine years at the Orange County Department of Education, as well as two homeschool administrators, read through the survey and wrote suggestions for changes (additions, deletions, etc.). Lively discussion ensued and several additional factors for homeschooling were added to the survey.
After the Fall 1996 meeting, the researcher read the input of her colleagues and revised the survey several times. Sheree Dennee, administrator of the Community Home Education Program, and Philip H. Dreyer collaborated in continual editing sessions until the final draft was complete.
Reliability of the survey instrument was established via mail during the late Fall and early winter of 1995. Twenty-seven homeschool families received a copy of the survey by mail, and 26 returned the survey for both the first and second mailing. Reliability for PUSH/PULL factors 1–2, 4–17, 19–30, and 33-57 were established using paired t-tests. Items 15, 40, 48, and 50 had perfect reliability for the 26 respondents. Because paired t-test values for items 18 and 32 were .043, Cronbach’s alpha, a second reliability measure, was run on each item. Item 18 had a moderate alpha of .75 and item 32 had a strong alpha of .832, thus establishing reliability for each of these items.
The paired t-test for item 3, “poor instruction” indicated the 2-tailed significance was .004. In the case of paired t-tests, significance is undesirable because ideally there would be no difference between the first and second test. Perhaps “poor instruction” was an emotionally-laden item and interpreted in more than one way in the two separate testing sessions. Whatever the case, item 3 did not show itself reliable and will not be used in any statistical analysis in this study.
The validity of this survey was established through face validity. Forty colleagues, each with one to twelve years of experience (public and private) with homeschool families, validated that the factors mentioned in the survey rang true with their experiences in interviewing and working with homeschool families. The researcher wrote an original survey, because she was unable to locate any previously-used surveys which asked the basic research question, “What are the push/pull factors that influence parents to homeschool?” and included pertinent items for this urban population of homeschoolers as perceived by 41 professionals who supervise these families (38 teachers, two administrators, and the primary researcher).
The original draft of the survey had a five point Likert scale (0–4) for measuring the influence of each factor. At a colleague’s suggestion, this Likert Scale was reduced to three points (0–2). Though the scale still accomplished the goal of identifying influential factors for homeschooling, reducing the scale to three points reduced the sensitivity of the survey. The researcher regrets this change and considers it a weakness of the survey.
The original intent of this survey was to identify the push/pull factors that influence parents to homeschool by surveying 100% of the Community Home Education Program of Orange County. The 38% response rate is a smaller sample size than desired; however, it represents well over one-third of the population of homeschool parents serviced through the Orange County Department of Education. Such a response rate is not uncommon when surveying parent populations. For example, Brian Ray (1994), when sending out a questionnaire to 2,585 Canadian homeschoolers, received a response rate of 31%. Similarly, Crawford and Freeman’s study, as described in their article “Why parents choose private schooling: Implications for public school programs and information campaigns” (1996) sent out 1,107 surveys and had a response rate of 34.7%.
It is questionable that the results of this survey could be generalized to homeschool populations across the continent in that this is a select group of urban homeschooling families in the public sector; however, results can lay the groundwork for future studies. Interestingly, however, some items, such as the SES item, show a perfect bell-shaped curve which would indicate that, in some respects, the sample is representative of the general population.
Research Question #1: What are the demographic characteristics of parents who homeschool?
In general, the typical homeschooling parent in this sample is a 38-year-old Caucasian Orange County female with 3.72 years of college education. She has two school-age children and homeschools both of them. She has homeschooled for three years and she is assisted by another family member, usually her husband. Prior to homeschooling, her children were enrolled in a traditional public school. Her family income is $52,631.
This study supports a consistent pattern in the literature showing that most homeschool families are intact families with both the mother and the father in the home (Kilgore, 1987; Rakestraw, 1988; Wartes, 1988), the mother is usually the primary instructor (Kilgore, 1987; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Ray, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988), and parents are college-educated (Rakestraw, 1988; Ray, 1991, 1993, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988).
This study does not explicitly support the finding that there is an average of three children in the home (Rakestraw, 1988; Ray, 1995a, 1995b; Wartes, 1988), because the survey did not ask how many children the parents had, but instead asked the number of K–12 children in the family (item 67). The average number of K–12 children in the home was 1.94. More than likely, however, there are older and/or younger children in the home which could make an average of three children; however, it should not be assumed.
The literature indicates that homeschool families’ income levels are above average (Kilgore, 1987; Rakestraw, 1988; Ray 1991, 1993, 1995b; Wartes, 1988); however, for this urban Southern California environment, income levels are slightly below average.
Research Question #2: What factors push parents out of the traditional school setting?
Overall, mean responses to items 1 to 30 (PUSH FACTORS) indicate that “negative peer influence” (item 13, mean = 1.51), “class size too large” (item 1, mean = 1.37), “poor moral climate” (item 19, mean = 1.30), and “children not learning enough” (item 6, mean = 1.30) were the top four factors that pushed parents out of the traditional school setting (in descending order by mean).
Key values/religious issues that pushed parents out of the traditional school setting included: “poor moral climate” (item 19, mean = 1.30), disagree with values taught” (item 20, mean = 1.13), and “values not taught” (item 21, mean = 1.10). These identified concerns confirm national studies by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement that have attempted to identify why parents leave public schools for private schools (Sconyers, 1996).
Key instructional/curricular issues that pushed parents out of the traditional school setting included: “class size too large” (item 1, mean = 1.37), “children not learning enough” (item 6, mean = 1.30), and “unsatisfactory curriculum” (item 4, mean = 1.03). These results support the views of Hirsch, Finn, Sykes, and Thomas, as well as Gallup polls that continue to indicate a falling confidence in public education (Elam, et al, 1994, 1996).
Key social/emotional issues that pushed parents out of the traditional school setting included: “negative peer influence” (item 13, mean = 1.51), “safety concerns on campus” (item 10, mean = 1.11), and “gang influence” (item 14, mean = .97). These same concerns—fighting, violence, and gangs—are shared by the general public and noted in research conducted by Elam et al (1994).
Research Question #3: What factors pull parents into the homeschool setting?
Mean responses on items 32 to 57 indicated that the attractive features of homeschooling (PULL factors) were much more influential in parents’ decisions to homeschool than were the negative aspects of traditional school setting (PUSH factors). The top three PULL factors that were most influential in affecting family decisions to homeschool included: “one-to-one instruction” (item 32, mean = 1.79), “I want to integrate family values within the context of education” (item 45, mean = 1.72), and “I want to influence the moral climate of my child’s education” (item 44, mean = 1.75).
The highest rated variables relating to values/religious reasons for homeschooling included: “I want to influence the moral climate of my child’s education,” (item 44, mean = 1.75), “I want to integrate family values within the context of education,” (item 45, mean = 1.72), and “I want to integrate religious beliefs within the context of education (item 46, mean = 1.39). These results confirm previous studies indicating that religion and values training are high priority concerns for parents (Gray, 1992; Kilgore, 1987; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Madden, 1991; Mayberry, 1988; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Wartes, 1988; Van Galen, 1988 in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991).
For this population, there were more curriculum/instructional issues in the top ten PULL factors than values/morals issues. The key variables in the top ten PULL factors relating to instructional/curricular issues included: “one-to-one instruction,” (item 32, mean = 1.79), “I can insure my child is learning what he or she needs to learn,” (item 41, mean = 1.7), “choice in curriculum,” (item 33, mean = 1.68), “can teach around child’s interests,” (item 36, mean 1.62), “can fill in learning gaps,” (item 37, mean = 1.61), “can use above grade level materials,” (item 35, mean = 1.41), and “I can give immediate feedback on assignments” (item 53, mean = 1.39). These results confirm previous studies which documented curricular/instructional concerns (Cohen, 1995; Gibbs, 1994; Kilgore, 1987; Knowles, 1988; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Madden, 1991; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Van Galen, 1988 in Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; Wartes, 1988).
The highest rated PULL factors relating to social/emotional reasons for homeschooling included: “I would like more influence regarding peer choice,” (item 57, mean = 1.44) and “safer at home” (item 39, mean 1.39). Peer choice is a concern frequently cited in homeschooling literature (Cohen, 1995; Gibbs, 1994; Gray, 1992; Litcher & Schmidt, 1991; McIntire & Windham, 1995; Rakestraw, 1988; Sharp, 1997; and Wartes, 1988), but safety concerns are not factors frequently cited in homeschool literature.
Overall, this homeschool survey confirms that parents who homeschool do so for the same reasons that parents choose traditional private school settings. These reasons include: religion and values, academic and curricular reasons, as well as safety/social issues (Bempechant, Drago-Severson, and Dinndorf, 1994; Crawford and Freeman, 1996).
Many previous studies (e.g., Mayberry, 1988, Wartes, 1988, Kilgore, 1987) indicate that religion or philosophy is the primary reason that families homeschool; whereas, the current study indicates more of a balance between curricular/instructional issues, values issues, and safety issues for this population. This broader base for deciding to homeschool is supported by previous research (Cohen ,1995; Gibbs, 1994; Sharp, 1997). Additionally, there appears to be an emerging group of homeschoolers who have gifted or disabled children who are seeking to meet the needs of their exceptional children in the homeschool setting (Knowles, 1988; Duvall, 1997). This emerging group of homeschool parents, seeking to meet the exceptional needs of their children, is confirmed throughout the results of this survey (items 2 and 7) and particularly visible in the curricular/instructional AFTER path model.
Research Question #4: Is there a relationship between socioeconomic status and reasons why a parent chooses to homeschool?
Question four may well be the most significant finding of this study. “Is there a relationship between socioeconomic status and reasons why a parent chooses to homeschool?” When the researcher regressed the dependent variable, item 81 (SES), on the independent variables (items 1-2, 4-30, 32-47, and 51-57), six independent variables entered the equation (items 11, 20, 24, 30, 32, 39) to collectively explain 17 percent of the variation of item 81 (SES). Results indicate that low socioeconomic families homeschool because it is “safer at home” (item 39, beta = -.23), because there are “safety concerns to and from school” (item 11, beta = -.20), and because of “prejudicial issues” (item 30, beta = -.14). However, higher income families have more of an association with reasons for homeschooling, such as “disagree with values taught” (item 20, beta = .16), the school “schedule does not fit family needs” (item 24, beta = .13), and a desire for “one-to-one instruction” (item 32, beta = .10). See TABLES 1, 2, and 3 for further data.
The safety issues for low socioeconomic homeschooling families have not been quantitatively documented in any previous California urban homeschooling study. Gray (1992), who interviewed homeschool families in Southern California, did not find safety issues or prejudicial issues prevalent as he coded the most frequently mentioned factors for homeschooling. However, safety issues is mentioned in the California Independent Study Operations manual, specifically citing “drugs, gangs, and negative influences at the schools” (1994, p. 7-1). This is a major finding warranting further research.
Table 2. Factors associated with low SES.
Research Question #5: If money were not a factor, what would a parent’s first choice be in educating his or her children?
Half of the respondents in the sample are enrolled in their first-choice educational alternative. However, for one-third of the population (33%), financial constraints have kept parents from their first choice in educating their children. One-third of the parents’ first choices included “private home school” (religious or secular) and “private traditional school” (religious or secular). Twenty-eight percent (28.2%) preferred a private religious educational setting, either traditional or homeschool. In choosing CHEP, a public independent study program, these parents are choosing the “next best thing,” since finances prohibit their first choice.
This study confirms previous studies of the general population indicating that economic constraints are prohibiting parents from enrolling their children in their first choice educational alternative. In particular, this study confirms the work of Sconyers, of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement, who reported in 1996 that six out of ten parents would opt for private schools over public schools if financial constraints were not a barrier. Johnson (1995 cited in Sconyers, 1996) has even higher statistics for numbers of parents who would choose private schools over public schools if economic constraints were not a factor. Bempechant et al (1994) also found that cost was a major factor in prohibiting parents sending their children to Catholic high schools. More than half of the families surveyed in their 1991 study cited the burden of tuition as a major factor in prohibiting Catholic high school enrollment (p. 60). In fact, many of the eleven percent of the population studied in this homeschooling survey, previously enrolled in private school, cited in interviews that a major reason for leaving the private school was economic constraints. Interviews with homeschool parents enrolled in this independent study program regularly reveal a need for accessing their tax dollars to purchase textbooks and materials for their homeschooled children. Parents regularly express appreciation for school districts who will collaborate with their desire to homeschool their children, providing support for both home-based study as well as on-site services (e.g., special assemblies, field trips, sports).
What is the foundational problem that drives parents to educate their own children at home? Clearly, the data from this survey point to a discrepancy between what is found in our neighborhoods and schools and what parents believe is best for their children. The 332 parents who responded to this survey believe that their children will receive better instruction in morals, values, and academics, in a safer environment, if they are homeschooled. Safety issues are related to morals and values, and morals and values are related to academics. These are not separate curricular areas, but one in the same. As one educator, Yardley, stated, “In the America of my youth, moral and ethical instruction wasn’t a specialized line of study, something tacked on to the curriculum in a desperate effort to get young people’s gyroscopes spinning properly. It was an intrinsic part of the national tapestry, the warp and woof of our lives” (in Noll, 1997, p. 5).
Historically, the purpose of school has been two-fold: socialization and academic training. These purposes are intertwined, and when both are interrupted by the social problems of our society (e.g., the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado; peer conflict; peer pressure; negative labeling of children with special needs), it is understandable that parents, out of love for their children, will take a “road less traveled.” It seems logical that, when the community is deteriorating, the greatest foundation parents can give their children is the safety of home (item 39), the unity of the family (items 38, 43, 56), the security of traditional values and morals (items 44, 45, 46), and a solid academic background that will help them grow and stretch intellectually (items 6, 32, 34–36). In this way, children can grow and develop at home, unencumbered by concerns, such as safety and emotional security, found at the base of Maslow’s hierarchy—but instead, are free to explore who they are, expand their intellectual development, and develop their skills to the fullest so as to have more to bring to society during their adult years.
Continued research in school reform is recommended to explore ways to ensure that all families, regardless of income levels, have equal access to equitable educational settings.
Additional studies are recommended regarding the role of fear and violence in the public school, and safety issues to and from the public school, to help make the public more aware of our children’s safety needs and to encourage constructive action. Exploration of how society can combat root problems (as opposed to combating surface problems), such as family and community fragmentation; communication difficulties; language barriers; cultural barriers; and social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual distresses; are essential to the next generation’s survival.
Furthermore, additional research on differentiated learning and how special needs are met in the traditional setting is needed. Exploration of an array of alternative educational options should be supported so as to provide maximum opportunity for children with exceptional needs as well as all student populations.
The merging of the child’s worlds (home and school) may be one of the most influential factors contributing to the child’s academic success in the homeschool setting. Studies ought to be conducted to control for this issue, because this may not be an issue we can duplicate in the traditional school setting, and it may be a factor that highly contributes to the current success of homeschooling.
A great deal of work in the political arena must take place to ensure that parents have a continued right to educate their children at home, including writing, educating, lobbying, and researching issues surrounding the homeschool movement. As Cizek and Ray (1995) aptly noted, “homeschool research is an ‘empirical cottage industry’” (p. 1) and many stones are left unturned.

A significant value Steve offers as your agent is helping you negotiate the best possible price and terms. He uses specific tactics and techniques in his discussions with the buyer and the buyer’s agent.
Everything you say and do (or don’t say or don’t do) will affect your position later. Disclosing or discussing your needs, motivation for selling, financial circumstances, time frame, likes and dislikes about the property, or points about a potential offer, etc. with the buyer or buyer’s agent can definitely weaken your negotiating position.
It’s important to learn as much as possible about the buyer and the agent, including the buyer’s motivation for moving, time frame, the status of their previous home, their financial situation, how long they’ve been looking, etc. Steve has specific questions for learning these valuable details.
Do you know what the buyer’s inspections will reveal? Most sellers negotiate the sales contract without this critical information. Steve will advise you on how to get this information, how to interpret the reports, what to do about any issues, and what it means to your bottom line. Steve puts you in control, not the buyer.
Try to contain your excitement or it could cost you money! It’s good to thank agents for showing your home and to thank buyers for visiting, but stop there. As a professional, Steve protects you because he is not emotional about your transaction.
Buyers often fall in love with items in a home and write them into their purchase offer, shifting the issue from the house to your belongings. Steve will advise you on staging your property so that you sell the house, not your family heirlooms.
First impressions are the most important, but most upgrades will not return 100% of the money spent. Steve will help you focus on items that might be of concern to a buyer, decide what to fix, paint or replace prior to showing your home, and easy, inexpensive tips for showing your home.
Yes, you can sell "as is," but is marketing your property that way the best strategy to net you the highest value? Will buyer’s wonder what’s wrong? Steve will suggest strategies that will accomplish your goals while protecting your pocketbook.
Never apologize for a bad view, small bedroom, noisy street, dirty carpet, or any other "negative" or it could cost you money! Some buyers want these (i.e. a busy street is good for a home business), or don’t consider something negative until you mention it. Let the buyer decide what is, or is not, desirable to them.
Who better to show your property than you? Probably anyone! Showing your home yourself means you may be revealing information and/or turning off potential buyers. Steve has several innovative techniques for highlighting the unique features of your home. In the meantime, leave the property and let the buyer’s agent handle their client in their own manner.
Steve will guide you, in advance, about how to manage the offer presentation, including multiple offers. He’ll counsel you as to what to expect, what to say, and how to react, including counteroffers and addendums.
Not only must you understand the intricacies of the buyer’s financing, you must verify everything with the underwriter. Often, buyers are not as "approved" as their agent claims. Failure to confirm the loan conditions verify can cost you delays, money, and possibly result in a T-F-T ("transaction fell through," i.e. the sale is canceled). Steve will help you evaluate the financing and protect your interests.
What must you disclose? Not disclose? In today’s real estate, the seller has the greatest exposure to a lawsuit. Not only does Steve help you prepare all the disclosures required by law, he has additional disclosures to further minimize the potential for problems.
By law, verbal offers for real estate are unenforceable and they carry no weight in the mind of the buyers or agents. In the meantime, you’ve disclosed information about yourself. All offers, or later changes to the contract, should always be negotiated in writing.
With the right marketing, creating multiple offers is likely. But, without the right system for evaluating and countering the offers, and managing the buyers and their agents, you can end up with a debacle and hard feelings. Steve uses specific tactics to maximize the situation to your benefit.
Accepting an offer contingent upon the sale of the buyer’s current property can work for or against you. If you receive this type of offer, Steve will discuss strategies.
Through skillful negotiation, Steve has put tens of thousands of dollars in the pockets of his clients, both buyers and sellers. Together with Steve, you will be a strong team and sell your property at the best possible price and terms!

Posted on June 14, 2016 June 14, 2016 Author FlorenceCategories Gray Whale Foraging Ecology and Vessel DisturbanceTags Field Work, Florence Sullivan, Florence van Tulder, foraging ecology, GEMM Lab, Gray Whales, Marine Mammals, Mysid, Oregon Coast, Science, Science Kayak2 Comments on The Gray [Whale]s are back in town – Field season 2016 is getting started!
Florence here with an update about the final numbers from this summer’s gray whale field season.
For folks just hearing about the project, my team of interns and I spent the summer alternating between study sites at Depoe Bay and Port Orford to conduct fine-scale focal follows of gray whales foraging in near-shore Oregon waters using a theodolite. That is to say, we gathered 10,186 ‘marks’ or ‘locations’ where whales came to the surface, and by connecting the dots, we are able to create tracklines and analyze their movement patterns. The idea is to document and describe gray whale foraging behavior in order to answer the questions: Are there patterns in how the whales use the space? Is there a relationship between foraging success and proximity to kelp beds? Do behaviors vary between individuals, location, or over time during the season?
While at our study sites, we often received questions about vessel disturbance on the whale’s behavior. Over the course of the summer, we saw whales completely ignore boats, approach boats, and actively avoid boats. Therefore, we documented these vessel interactions in order to ask questions such as: Does vessel disturbance alter behavior? How close is too close? Does the potential for vessel disturbance vary depending on (1) size of motor, (2) speed of approach, (3) type of vessel, i.e. kayak, fishing boat, tour boat, (4) the number of vessels already in the area, (5) amount of time a vessel has been following a whale, (6) time of season, (7) the presence of a calf or other whales? The end goal, once the data have been analyzed, is to bring our results to local vessel operators (commercial and recreational) and work together to write reasonable, effective, and scientifically informed guidelines for vessel operations in the presence of gray whales.
Whale named “Keyboard” visits graveyard head multiple times. Green track: 7.21.15, Pink track: 7.21.15, Teal track: 7.30.15. The orange polygons are approximate locations of kelp patches.
Whale 130 foraged near Boiler Bay for 5.5 hours on Aug 12. Trying to look at the whole trackline in one go is a little complicated, so let’s break it down by hour.
This panel shows hours 4-6 of the track. Things get more complex as various vessels use the same area. Whale 130 is always in red.
So, what does this all mean? Well, the unsatisfying answer is of course: we don’t know yet. However, it is my job to find out! I will spend the fall and winter processing data, writing and running behavioral models, communicating my successes and frustrations, and finally presenting my results to the community.
The human eye is well adapted to pick out patterns. Test yourself – what trends can you see in these images? Are there areas that the whales seem to prefer over other areas? In the Port Orford images with Keyboard & our kelp patches, does our theory of a relationship between whale presence and kelp patches seem valid?
This field season would not have been possible without the help of some truly excellent people. Thank you Cricket and Justin and Sarah for making up the core of Team Ro”buff”stus. It was a pleasure working with you this summer. Thank you to guest observers and photographers Era, Steven, Diana, Cory, Kelly, Shea and Brittany for filling in when we needed extra help! Thank you to our support network down in Port Orford: Tom, Tyson and the team at the Port Orford Field Station – we appreciate the housing and warm welcome, and to Jim and Karen Auborn and the Port of Port Orford for allowing us access to such a fantastic viewing location. Thank you to Oregon State Parks for allowing us access to the field sites at Boiler Bay and Humbug. Finally, thank you to Depoe Bay Pirate Coffee Company for keeping us warm and caffeinated on many foggy, cold early mornings. This work was funded by the William and Francis McNeil Fellowship Award, the Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, and the American Cetacean Society: Oregon Chapter.
As Amanda explains quite nicely in her previous blog post, research is not always glamorous, and we don’t always see the species we’ve come out to the field to study. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other cool species out there to spot! Here are some common (and uncommon) visitors to some of our research sites this summer.
Also, if you continue to the bottom, we’ve included some cool videos of (1) gray whale sharking behaviour, (2) Gray whale swimming (top down full body view), and what it looks and sounds like when we’re doing one of our close-in focal follows. Enjoy!
A very unexpected, but very welcome visitor! Blue Whale spotted off Boiler Bay August 10.
Often in pairs, we’ve started seeing more of these California sea lions lately as they come back north from the breeding grounds further south.
Humpback Whale which has been hanging out around Depoe Bay for the past two weeks. Its split dorsal fin makes it easy to recognize! Notice the darker color than the grays we usually see.
We see the Osprey multiple times a day in Port Orford as there are a couple of nesting pairs with chicks to feed.
Our Oystercatchers at Boiler Bay have also successfully fledged a pair of chicks while we’ve been watching!
Here’s what it looks like from the top of Graveyard Bluff when a whale swims by below us!
We get really excited by this behavior because its positive proof that the whales are successfully foraging!
and here is a fluke!
We’ll be back soon with more updates from Port Orford.
Hello and greetings from the sort of sunny Oregon Coast! Sarah reporting in to offer an update on Florence’s Gray Whale study now that we’re about ten days into sampling. If you’re new to our blog you can read up on the preliminary field season right here.
This little savior came through on the day all our technology failed and cheered us up with his rainbow spouts. Thankfully, he’s a repeat visitor and though we may have missed him on the 14th, we were able to get a good focal follow on him today.
Before I get to the project though, let me introduce myself a bit further. As I said, my name’s Sarah – one of the three interns on our whale surveying team. I got my Bachelor of Science in Oceanography at the University of Washington a few years back and have since worked as a lab tech at UW’s Friday Harbor Labs and as an Americorps volunteer serving as a teacher’s aide. Eventually I plan to become a science teacher, but thought a little more field work this summer would be a nice break after two years of service.
Cricket and Justin pondering the challenges of whale watching.
Thus, I moved to Newport last week just in time to catch the first day of our main surveying season. And what a season it’s been. We’ve tracked 48 whales since I’ve arrived, averaging about six a day. Of course, those aren’t all 48 different whales. If we lose sight of a whale for longer than 20 minutes, we assume it has left our study area and pronounce it lost, and unless we can identify the next sighting as the same whale based on markings (which we’re getting pretty good at), we give it a new number to keep track. We also give whales we’ve already seen new numbers when we see them on a different day.
Table for two: these whales caused some confusion among the team as they began to forage together before we could tell the difference between the two.
You might be wondering how we can tell gray whales apart when they’re mostly, well, gray and underwater. And the short answer is we have a pretty difficult time doing so at first sight. Gray whales aren’t like orcas, whose saddle patch just behind the dorsal fin serves as a fingerprint, nor are they humpbacks, whose patterned flukes are cataloged for easy matching. Gray whales have more of a dorsal hump than a fin, followed by five or six ridges we call knuckles. They aren’t famous for showing their flukes above water either, so unless you get several views of a particular whale’s sides, dorsal, and, if you’re lucky, fluke, it’s hard to have a positive ID for the whale. The good news is, that part of our sampling equipment is a camera with a massive zoom lens, so we can take photos of most of the whales we track with the theodolite (see the previous post to learn about theodolites). From those photos (at least 400 a day) we can look at scars from barnacles and killer whales, pigmentation spots that are part of the whales’ coloring, and parasites like barnacles and amphipods to recognize whales we’ve seen before. Eventually we’ll send all the photos we take to the Cascadia Research Group in Olympia, Washington, that keeps a database of all identified gray whales.
Sitting on a clifftop photographing whales might sound more like a vacation than science, so here’s some (very peliminary) data of one whale. This is Mitosis on three different days. The first day is red, second is yellow, and the third is green.
Anyways, thanks for keeping with me to the bottom of the page. It’s been a fun first week-or-so and I’m excited to be heading to our second study site in Port Orford tomorrow after surveying. We’ll be there for 15 days, so next time you hear from us, we’ll be a bit further down the coast.
Yes, we named a whale after cell replication, because look at those overlapping spots!

Look, Mike. If the cosplay community can’t go on without her, then all of you retards are weak. Hasn’t she already done enough? You geeks claim to be different from the “old conservative culture” when you’re not. YOU’RE ALL THE SAME, BUT MINDLESS FANATICS NONETHELESS!!!!
All you weeaboos learning to speak japanese because anime told you so doesn’t make you any different from people who like April Boys or even movies where in they break into song and dance on the beach.
That’s the problem with most of us Filipinos. We make gods because they inspire us, and when they vanish, what, we get lost? Is that how pathetic we all are? Is that how pathetic the current “community” is?
Haters and fanatics are just two sides of the same coin: retarded. They make claims that “oh no, I’m cooler than that, yack, so baduy,” but in reality, you’re all followers!
You’re a super fan, you waste time trying to be someone else, admiring them when you could work with what you already have.
You’re a hater, you waste time feeling angry, mad when you could be doing something more productive.
You follow someone else all the time, you won’t be able to lead your own life.
So yeah. The girl wants to study, let her. If you get lost without her, then all you people are are just sheep. Sheep without a shepherd. And THAT is an all new low.
Generally Filipinos should stop depending on gods and become gods themselves.
Nicholas was true to that point, but let’s face it, the current society right now is still that of a post-Spanish regime even the present day being applied to all of us.
Alodia too is no stranger to intrigues and controversy because of her going to showbiz. I hate to admit, but it’s all said and done, instead of bashing her back and forth just give her a deserving round of applause for what she have done for the past 7 or almost 8 years in cosplay, but in reality that we are not getting young we’re growing old.
It was a good decision by her, and to be honest this article is a true genuine article.
What about her sister Ashley? we haven’t talked about it being the next Cosplay Goddess next in line to her famous big sis. But, I’m afraid that she too will decide if she wants to continue her sisters legacy or the whole cosplay community will be left to dust.
Anime conventions will not be as fun as the cosplay goddess is not around. No more photographers will lining up to the entrances, few cosplayers will be attending, and the worst part is the popularity of cosplay will suffer.
As the curtain closes, so as her cosplaying.
You’re right anime conventions will not be as fun without Alodia but then I believe that there will be lots of people who will still attend cosplay conventions because people come to conventions to enjoy cosplay. I live in Cebu and Alodia isn’t here though we all wish she was but then cosplay still lives on here. Actually cosplay in Cebu is getting even better and better. Alodia has already inspired us to be the best we can be and I don’t think she’d like it if we give up on cosplay because that’s all her efforts down the drain. She’s worked too hard and too long for the cosplay community in the Philippines to just break down like that. Just because she’s gone it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the reign of cosplay. Aside from that there are other cosplayers as well in the cosplay industry that have a lot of talent and I don’t think they’re all giving up cosplay just cause Alodia is gone. It’s devastating to find out that Alodia will be quitting cosplay and I really wish she didn’t have to but then we all have to understand her situation. She’s growing up and moving on.
why would it be useless. aren’t there any other cosplayers in the philippines? there are a lot of great ones out there that lay low.
COSPLAY ISN’T ABOUT ALODIA PEOPLE!!!!!!!
Cosplay is about having fun. Not about alodia and her obviously-from-plastic-surgery-or-photoshop appearance. So what if Alodia quits cosplay. You don’t have to whine about it. IF YOU GUYS REALLY LIKE HER, THEN LET HER BE WITH HER WANTS.
I started cosplaying last 2007. I didn’t know alodia back then. I just wanted to feel what it’s like to wear a costume and place myself in the position of the character, but most of all have fun with it.
I wish people could see that it wasn’t only the work of alodia that made cosplay great here in the philippines. Alodia’s image only exists when photoshop exists.

Registration of the mark creates a presumption of your ownership of the mark.
Registration in India will be needed before registering your trademark in other countries.
You can only use the ® symbol if you have a registered trademark. (Note if your trademark is not yet registered, you can put ™ symbol next to it).
Your trademark and your goodwill is an important part of the value of your business. Any serious investor would do an intellectual property (IP) audit to check whether your IP is sufficiently protected.
Authorize a lawyer to act as your agent.
The lawyer will conduct a search with the Trademark Office to check if there are any similar trademarks already registered under that particular class. There are two kinds of search: online and offline. It is recommended that you get both the searches done. Make sure the lawyer understands your business and is using the right keywords for this search.
Depending upon the results of the search, the lawyer will draft your trademark application. In case someone already has the same or similar trademark, you may have to change yours. Or if you think that the trademark is rightfully yours, your lawyer will help you oppose that trademark. These days since most businesses also reserve domain names while registering their companies and brands, so it is generally easy to find out beforehand whether someone else is using an intended trademark.
The lawyer will file your trademark application with the Trademark Office and send you the receipt.
After a few days, the lawyer will send you the Original Representation Sheet of your trademark as it has been filed with the Trademark Office.
After this process starts the long wait. It can take anywhere between 18 months to 2 years for the Trademark Office to decide whether or not to grant you the trademark; if there are objections from the trademark office or from anyone else, it may take longer. At the end of this process, your trademark is published in the Trademark Journal.
For more information, Kindly mail us on info@rbmcertifications.com or Contact us at +91 – 9870285089 to get Trademark Registration for your product in the most effective and efficient manner while realizing the true benefits of the certification using our specialized implementation methodology that is less time consuming, fast, easy to understand and implement, result oriented, time bound and cost effective.

Families keen to get in the festive mood are flocking to see a dazzling light show.
The gardens of Audley End House, the Jacobean mansion near Saffron Walden, have been festooned with Christmas lights for a nine-day event called Enchanted.
Strings of lanterns have been laced through the trees, and fairy lights twinkle behind leaves, creating what English Heritage, which has stewardship of the property, describes as "an enchanting trail into a magical wonderland."
An English Heritage spokeswoman said: "The gardens are filled with light, colour and sound, and bathed in dramatic illuminations.
"This festive installation celebrates the vibrancy of Audley End’s rich and varied history through light trails and projections, transporting visitors back in time and enabling them to experience the property’s heritage in a special way."
Mince pies, mulled wine and Christmas shopping at a heritage-inspired shop are also on offer to visitors.
The spokeswoman added: "This is the first year we've done this, and the reaction from visitors has been great.
"Get wrapped up warm, with camera at hand and taste buds ready to be indulged, and make the most of this sparkling event."
It runs every day until Saturday December 23.
The house is also hosting an audience with Father Christmas this weekend (Saturday and Sunday December 16 and 17), as well as next Saturday (December 23).
Falconry displays are also scheduled for Wednesday December 27 to Friday December 29, 11am-3pm each day.
Audley End has a fascinating history. It was originally the site of a Benedictine monastery that was granted to the Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Audley in 1538 by Henry VIII.
The abbey was converted to a domestic house for him and was known as Audley Inn, and then it was demolished by his grandson, Thomas Howard, and a much grander mansion was built, primarily for entertaining the king, James I.
More details of events at the house and gardens can be found here.

We are using the Compaq JDK 1.3.1 as shipped with Tru64 Unix.
Rolling back to 3.2.0 makes the problem go away.
I notice in the release notes that FileURLLister.java has had new functionality added between 3.2.0 and 3.2.1.
I have the same problem. And with java 1.4.0 it crashes.

I love a new year in kind of the same way I love Mondays. A fresh start, new goals, a chance to reset and make the best of life. I’ve always kind of loved that my birthday falls at the beginning of a new year. A new year on the calendar, a new year in my life.

Before [V. P.] Singh was toppled, his government had introduced the 27 per cent reservations for the backward castes in August 1990. The Congress government under Prime Minister Narasimha Rao had to live with this new rule and made no attempt to reverse it. It was soon faced with a landmark judgment of the Supreme Court in November 1992, which forced the government to establish a National Backward Classes Commission with quasi-judicial powers to determine the claims of castes for the recognition of their 'backwardness'. The judgment of the Supreme Court was due to a lawsuit initiated by some members of backward castes. The judges feared that they would be inundated with such suits and realized that they had no criteria by which to determine such cases. Moreover, they felt that litigants who were not at all backward as far as their economic situation was concerned would nevertheless try to obtain the benefits of affirmative action. The judgment of 1992 therefore included an injunction which obliged the government to define the criteria by which the 'creamy layer' of the backward castes would be excluded from such benefits.
The debate concerning the 'creamy layer' highlighted the problem created by the synonymous use of the terms 'caste' and 'class'. All official statements referred to 'backward classes' when they really meant backward castes, the term 'caste' being deliberately avoided as it referred to an undesirable aspect of Indian social life. However, caste and class are not at all identical. Many members of the high castes are poor labourers, whereas there are many rich people of low caste origin. Since speaking of a rich class among the members of the backward classes seemed to be incongruous, the term 'creamy layer' had to be used.
The National Backward Classes Commission was established by an act of Parliament (Lok Sabha) in 1993. Even before it was constituted, a special commission had reported on the problem of the 'creamy layer'. It was decided that the children of high government officials or of persons with an annual income above Rs 100,000 would not be entitled to the benefits of affirmative action. In 2004 this limit was raised to Rs 250,000 (approximately US$ 5,000). But whereas the 'creamy layer' could be defined in this way, it was much more difficult to fix the basic criteria for defining 'backwardness'. Of altogether 1,133 applications received from various communities during the period from 1993 to 2003, the commission accepted 682 for inclusion in the list of backward classes and rejected 451. In its report submitted in 2004, the commission admitted that it had to base its decisions on inadequate data and often had to fall back on the census of 1931 as it was the last one which contained information on castes. The commission therefore recommended that future census operations should once more provide data on caste affiliations as it would otherwise be impossible to base affirmative action on reliable social data. It is doubtful whether the Indian government will follow this recommendation concerning census operations in view of the political trouble it might cause. Moreover, once it is known why such questions about caste are asked, interested parties would see to it that the respondents answered them in a suitable manner.
The problem of defining the criteria of 'backwardness' came up once more in 2006 when the Congress-led coalition government decided to extend the reservation for OBCs to educational institutions. The reservation of government jobs was controversial enough, but educational reservations cut even deeper as far as the career prospects of students from higher castes were concerned. Due to India's rapid economic growth, many students look for jobs in the private sector rather than for government posts. But whatever job one wants to get, access to higher education is the necessary precondition. Once more the Supreme Court played a decisive role. It asked the government to specify the criteria for OBC reservations. In addition, doctors launched a nationwide strike against this new policy since they are the only group of educated people whose strike really matters. The government stuck to its policy. The political equation is obvious: there are probably about 400 million OBCs in India and their vote will decide the outcome of the national elections which are due in 2009.
In the absence of census data, the National Sample Survey Organization finally supplied some relevant data in 2006 which were based on a sample survey of 125,000 households. According to this, the proportion of OBCs in the Indian population amounts to 41 per cent whereas the Scheduled Castes account for 20 per cent and the Scheduled Tribes for 8 per cent. As far as household expenditure was concerned, the survey showed that in the rural areas the OBCs attained about the same level as the 'forward communities' in this respect, whereas in the urban areas these communities were far ahead of the OBCs. Of the members of urban 'forward communities' 52 per cent spent Rs 1,100 per month whereas among the OBCs only 28 per cent reached that level.
The politics of affirmative action has certainly strengthened the solidarity of the Other Backward Castes.... The 'social federalism' of a caste-based society is also reflected in the pattern of regional parties whose rise was discussed in an earlier chapter. The notions of hierarchy associated with a caste system have vanished from political life where the manifold patchwork of regionally dominant peasant castes is much more important than notions of hierarchy and hegemony. But one particular element of stratification has survived in spite of all affirmative action: the stigma of 'untouchability'.

If Jason Goldberg, CEO of Jobster, is wondering why HouseValues didn’t have to endure a blog swarm over layoffs while Jobster remains the poster child for inappropriate blog posts (made about a month ago), the difference can be found in their approach to crisis communication, inside and out.
Ian Morris did it 89 percent right. Goldberg did it 99 percent wrong.
As a result, from a communication perspective and not necessarily a product review, HouseValues is in a much better position to move beyond its recent bad news than Jobster. The difference is clear.
Whereas the Lukaszewski Group Inc. might call it mismanaging the victim dimension (the treatment of the victims will maintain or destroy trust) and I might call it demonstrating a lack of empathy for those who were impacted, the outcome is the same.
If you do it right, the public is satisfied and their interest wanes. If you do it right, your company might even find protection from having the issue resurface a month, a year, or ten years later.
In politics, it’s called inoculation: a clearly defined explanation of what happened, what was learned, and what was done to rectify the situation. With a good candidate, bad news can even be reframed as good news, all assuming they handled the bad news properly and actually learned something from the mistake.
Companies can move beyond bad news too, assuming the same. While this only touches on the surface, there are a few questions you can ask to guide yourself away from reliving the same bad story over and over again.
Did you acknowledge something went wrong? At Jobster, Goldberg never really apologized for his blog posts regarding the layoffs, which he still muses over today, even referencing that he blogs about what is on his iPod.
Did you apologize? At Jobster, Goldberg didn’t apologize for the posts that caused his former employees to wait on pins and needles through the holidays.
Do you offer explanation? While others have speculated on Goldberg’s behalf — that he was torn between keeping the layoffs under wraps and letting his employees know — he never really said.
What did you learn? It’s difficult to say whether Goldberg learned anything based upon his questions about blogging after the situation unfolded. Contrary, it seems he missed that the situation had little to do with CEO blogging and much to do about hinting at but denying layoff rumors.
Have you satisfied the public interest? If you want to move beyond bad news, you have to commit to regularly reporting additional information until no public interest remains. This includes all positive steps being taken to address the situation and any remedy for the victims. To his credit, Goldberg has done some of this by profiling former Jobster employees.
Did you verbalize empathy, sympathy or even embarrassment? There seems to be no time for that at Jobster, given that Goldberg and some crew have been too busy playing with the office’s new camcorder.
Did you offer restitution? There seems to be little evidence that Goldberg has gone beyond community and victim expectations in order to remediate the problems.
Of the eight, Goldberg seems to have done one and a half, which was further overshadowed by bouts of arrogance, unpreparedness, and ignorance.
For example, as if he read a line right out of what not to do, Goldberg at one point asked (paraphrased, as this is actually a line from a Lukaszewski example): "Why are the bloggers interested in this anyway? It's nobody's business, but ours. They'll just get the story all mixed up; they simply can't get it right. We certainly can't let our employees talk about this!" One of Goldberg's actual posts is here.
In complete contrast, Morris at HouseValues sent a memo that details to employees (first) everything that will be done, why it will be done, and what measures are being taken to ensure the solvency of the company going forward. There is a certain amount of empathy and regret.
While it seems to me that the release that followed placed too much emphasis on the addition and promise of Barry Allen as chief financial officer and executive vice president of operations, among others, in order to bury the bad news of cutting its workforce by about 12 percent, its overall communication as summed by John Cook of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer — the internal memo, quotes to journalists, etc. — are just enough on par to avoid the ire of the public.
Case in point: "Today is a truly difficult day. And the departure of friends and colleagues is very painful for all of us," Morris said in the memo. "But the decisions we have made -- to focus 100 percent of our energies on the success of our real estate agent customers -- are the right ones and they will enable us to profitably grow HouseValues in the future."
All this seems to indicate, in my opinion, that HouseValues is in a better communication position to avoid reoccurring stories about layoffs. Jobster, on the other hand, continues to demonstrate a communication strategy that will be written about over and over again as how "not to do it." It will very likely be immortalized and will certainly resurface every time Jobster has even marginal news (let alone bad news) again.
Worse, despite hoping they could get over it, it is quite possibly too late for Jobster to regain any semblance of being credible with its communication. While the company may succeed, it will always have this dark piece of history lurking over its head.
Matt Heinz, senior director of marketing at HouseValues, Inc., sums up his impression on the analysis that includes his company.

The income of an S Corporation is taxed only once: Note the Differences Once you understand the benefits that come from LLCs and S corps, it's time to explore some of the pros and cons of each approach.
Before the passing of modern companies legislation, these were the only types of companies.
If a shareholder owns 10 percent of the S corp, he or she must receive 10 percent of the profits or losses. An S corp offers the limited liability protection of a corporation. When trying to decide whether to start a corporation or start an LLC, one of the main advantages of a LLC is the relative lack of procedural formalities and filings applicable to a LLC.
A franchise is a system in which entrepreneurs purchase the rights to open and run a business from a larger corporation.
Corporation - This type of business organization can take various forms, such as non-profit, publicly traded, closely held corporations, professional corporations, and more. It makes great sense to me as a so-called business thinker. We spent several days drafting our one pager -- and have been editing it ever since.
Often referred to as a "co-op", a cooperative is a limited-liability business that can organize as for-profit or not-for-profit. You might even decide that there could be a tax break in it for you.
Then, any remaining profits from the company can be distributed to the owners as dividends, which are business plan for s corporation forms at a lower rate than income.
A request to reserve a corporation name can also be submitted in person to the Secretary of State's Los Angeles regional office. Jim has truly streamlined a tiresome, complicated chore.
The Secretary of State does not issue licenses or permits for business entities. IC the name of the limited partnership, which must end with Limited Partnership or LP; the address of the office; the name and address of the Registered Agent ; the name and business address of all General Partners; the signature of all General Partners; the latest date upon which the partnership is to dissolve cannot be perpetual.
A request to check for the availability of a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership name can be submitted by mail to the Secretary of State's Sacramento office.
Basically, this legal form for your business gives you the advantage of shielding personal assets by incorporating as a business corporation, while allowing income to be taxed individually like a partnership.
The document containing the governing rules for formation of the corporation and basic corporate operations, called the articles of incorporation or corporate charter, is typically required to be filed in the secretary of state's office.
What legal form is used to start a corporation business plan for s corporation forms start a LLC? Partnership - A partnership is composed of partners who create a partnership agreement covering what the contribution and respective share of profits, or salary each partner will receive, and how the partners will manage and make decisions about the partnership.
The forms have been drafted to meet the minimum statutory requirements. How is a business corporation formed? The management role of members in a limited liability corporation is determined by the operating agreement of the limited liability company created when the members form an LLC.
You can elect to be taxed as an S corp while retaining the structure of an LLC. The articles of incorporation set forth the basic corporate information and structure, names of directors and officers, the corporate purpose applicable to both for-profit and non-profit companies, and other matters, such as initial shares of stock to issue and the voting rights of shareholders.
In a limited partnership, there are two types of partners, general and limited. The following informal business associations require no filing with the Indiana Secretary of State: In a company limited or unlimited by shares formed or incorporated with a share capitalthis will be the shareholders.
US Legal Forms offers incorporation packages and forms for forming a corporation, as well as thousands of other business forms and small business forms for all your company needs.
IC the name of the L. Great advice backed up by good service. It's refreshing to deal with an Owners Corporation manager that is both passionate about their work and proud of the properties they represent as the strata manager. When considering how to form a business, whether you choose to form a corporation, start an LLC, create a partnership, etc.
In most forms of partnerships, each partner has unlimited liability for the debts incurred by the business. A sole proprietor has unlimited liability for all obligations incurred by the business, whether from operating costs or judgments against the business.
A corporation is registered with the state as part of the set up process.Top Ten Do's and Don'ts; Business Plan; many start businesses this way because they are unfamiliar with the other forms of organizations. General Partnership: A corporation that has made an election to be an "S" Corporation for federal income tax purposes is treated as a partnership for tax purposes.
There are seven major sections of a business plan, and each one is a complex document. Read this selection from our business plan tutorial to fully understand these components. To bring small businesses the support they need, SBA is divided into several key functional areas.
Form S is used by corporations that elect to be S corporations to report income, deductions, gains, losses, etc. Use this form to report the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits, etc., of a domestic corporation or other entity for any tax year covered by an election to be an S corporation.
The One Page Business Plan for the Busy Executive Written specifically for professional business managers and executives. Thousands of business executives have already successfully written and implemented One Page Plans with this simple and effective planning methodology.
May 03, · In order to become an S corporation, the corporation must submit Form Election by a Small Business Corporation (PDF) signed by all the shareholders.

Dr. Wright of Wheeling, WV is a leading orthodontic specialist. Dr. Wright graduated from the West Virginia University (WVU) School of Dentistry in 1980 with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery. He achieved highest academic honors and was elected into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the dental honorary fraternity, which is limited to the top 5% of the dental class. He began the Orthodontic Residency Program at WVU that same year and completed the post-doctoral program two years later with a certificate and Master of Science degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
Dr. Wright passed the rigorous examinations to become board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. At that time, approximately 20% of the orthodontists in the United States had completed the total examination by the ABO. The Board wanted more orthodontists to undergo the examination because of it's value to the practitioner in continuing to re-evaluate their practice. In 1996 Dr. Wright, at the behest of the Chairman of Orthodontics at the West Virginia University School of Orthodontics, with several other ABO certified orthodontists, gave a final examination to the graduating orthodontic residents that followed the ABO examination protocol to encourage them to become ABO certified. Many of the residents have followed through with certification. Today, nationally, 44% of the members of the American Association of Orthodontists are ABO Certified. After giving the Exam for sixteen years Dr. Wright turned over the responsibility to other orthodontists and was immediately asked to begin teaching at WVU. He is the only ABO certified orthodontist in the Wheeling, WV and St. Clairsville, OH area.
He is currently a Diplomate of the College of the American Board of Orthodontics and gave the final examination to the orthodontic residents at WVU for sixteen years. Currently Dr. Wright teaches part-time at the Orthodontic clinic at WVU and is an Associate Clinical Professor.
Dr. Wright has developed a wide-ranging practice that encompasses many interests. The best orthodontic care possible is his passion! He attends innumerable courses around the country to learn from the best practitioners in the world. Their studies and techniques have been incorporated into the care he provides for you and your children. The management of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ or TMD) and craniofacial pain is another special interest. After personally experiencing an episode with TMD in dental school he began special training and again traveled throughout the country to learn all he could to manage these problems for his patients.
Sleep Apnea is also a part of the practice. In the mid-eighties he was asked by a group of physicians to join a team treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Little was known about managing the condition and there was sparse research published. Dr. Wright, in conjunction with the physicians, developed many techniques and did much research of their own in this area and still help patients with this condition. Jaw surgery or orthognathic surgery is also offered when necessary. Treating individuals with cleft lip and palate has also been a long-term interest.
After practicing one year in Charleston, WV, Dr. Wright moved to Wheeling, WV with his wife Vicki in 1983. He opened his own practice and has been in Wheeling ever since. He and Vicki (the former Vicki Zambito) have three children, Jennifer, Lauren and Jonathan, one granddaugher, Alessandra and another on the way!

Breakfast was excellent, good selection. Very clean. Staff very friendly.
The room was a suite. It was incredibly modern. The view with the Irish flag in the foreground and the Mayo Memorial hillside cemetery, while not something one would normally comment on, was visually appealing. The food in the restaurant was fantastic. I had the goat cheese plate. WOW!
The whole atmosphere in this hotel was great, from the receptionist to the waitresses to the staff on housekeeping, everything was perfect for me. The room I had as Single was fabulous with a lovely view of he peace park, very quiet even though it was on the main road side of the hotel. Dinner was very good also.
Wonderful and friendly staff. Very comfortable lobby and rooms. We arrived pretty late and were starving. The staff extended their kitchen hours to offer us something to eat. We would stay again.

The Harlequin Hotel accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival.
Very Comfortable room. Staff were polite and helpful. Food was good. Location was perfect for our stay.
We were under time pressure at lunchtime. Food was v slow arriving & drinks requested didn’t arrive. Granted it was v busy at the time but staff seemed a little ‘all over the place’ and there wasn’t an obvious supervisor. When it arrived food was good though.
Breakfast v good. Room v clean & comfortable. Nice touch to include the car parking.
All Staff were so helpful couldn't fault anything about our stay.
My only issue with my stay was the hot water control on the shower (it was stuck on boiling). I brought this to the attention of reception staff who in fairness sent someone to the room (while I was at breakfast). When I returned it was evident they did something but didn’t fix the substantive issue. I raised this again when checking out and was offered a paltry apology (but nothing more). I was offered the option of showering in another room which for me was not a practical option.
One small thing was that our room was very cold even with the heat on, however it was a very cold night and it was a big room to heat.
Fab hotel, great location, very nice receptionist who kindly upgraded our room free of charge.
Breakfast was OK but a few faults. Porridge undercooked. Hash browns not crispy.
Lovely staff. Very bright, clean, airy room. Good location.
The shower didn't seem to work properly.
The hotel was very comfortable and the staff were always extremely helpful when called upon.
The hotel is located near a busy road, so if you are a light sleeper avoid rooms in the front, the windows offer little to no sound proofing of cars whizzing by!

This week is going to be all sorts of crazy for me. Reuben’s grandpa’s memorial service is on Thursday, and it’s over 2 1/2 hours away. So we’ll be driving for over 5 hours in one day. With kids. Plus Reuben is playing violin and singing, so I’ll have to wrangle the kiddos without him….

This refers to “Amendment of IBC on cards to ensure NCLT is obeyed” (February 14 ). This is a welcome move by the government. The recent judgment of Supreme Court clearing the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to take a decision on ArcelorMittal's bid is genuinely a stimulant to this process.
The matter was already delayed by 571 days against the NCLT deadline of 270 days. In order to successfully roll out the non-performing assets (NPAs) resolution process, it is necessary to give a free hand to the NCLT so that there aren't unnecessary delays.
All efforts should be made to make the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code a success.

Decongestant and antihistamine medications are often confused and thought to have the same effect on the body. While there are similarities, these medications are not the same and do not have the same effect on the body.
Decongestants relieve nasal congestion. They work by causing the blood vessels in the nasal membranes to narrow. This reduces inflammation, swelling, and mucus production produced by the nasal lining. Decongestants are most often used to treat colds and are available without a prescription.
Antihistamines have a much broader use than decongestants. They are used to calm a person, stop vomiting, and aid in sleeping. Oftentimes, they are used in cough and cold remedies with a decongestant.
Antihistamines work by blocking the effect of a chemical histamine that is produced by the body in response to an allergic reaction. Histamines make small blood vessels widen in the skin, eyes, and nose. This causes redness and swelling.
Leading pharmaceutical company MCR American Pharmaceuticals explained that both decongestants and antihistamines have some negative effects. If decongestants are used for too long, they cause nasal congestion to worsen. While antihistamines can make a person dizzy and drowsy. Both medications can also reduce appetite, cause blurred vision and a dry mouth.
"There are a variety of medications in a variety of forms that can help all sorts of patients," said owner of MCR American Pharmaceuticals, David Daniel Ambrose. "Yet it's important to consult a doctor or pharmacist prior to taking any sort of medication."
The company recently debuted a new product line of decongestants and antihistamines that include Congestinex C, Congestinex PE, Maxiphen, Maxiphen DM, Maxifed, Maxifed DMX, Maxifed G, Maxifed DM, Super-Tuss PE, and Super-Tuss PSE.
The Congestinex C medication is an antihistamine, available in grape flavor and is recommended for patients who have post-nasal drip cough. Congestinex C can help calm a runny nose and may stop sneezing. MCR American Pharmaceuticals explains that Congestinex C is different from most cold fighting medications in that it is safe for ages two and older. MCR American Pharmaceuticals designed Congestinex C to suit young children by using lower doses of Chlorpheniramine, and Dextromethorphan.
Congestinex PE is an expectorant, antitussive and decongestant that relieves symptoms due to a common cold, hay fever or other respiratory allergies. MCR American Pharmaceuticals explains the benefits to such medication is the low dose of Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, and Phenylepherine. The low dosage of such ingredients ensures the medication is suitable for young ages and is safe to consume.
Maxiphen is an expectorant and decongestant that contains Phenylephrine and Guaifenesin. Maxiphen helps patients who have congestion due to the common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis.
Maxiphen DM product is an expectorant, decongestant and suppressant that contains Phenylephrine, Guaifenesin, and Dextromethorphan. Maxiphen DM helps patients who have congestion due to the common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis.
Lastly, MCR American Pharmaceuticals manufactured Super-Tuss, a medication group that consists of Super-Tuss PE and Super-Tuss PSE. MCR American Pharmaceuticals explains that Super-Tuss PE comes in an AM dose form and a PM dose form. The AM dose is a cough suppressant, expectorant and nasal decongestant combination that contains Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, and Phenylephrine. The PM dose is an antihistamine and cough suppressant combination that contains Chlorpheniramine and Dextromethorphan. Both dose forms are ideal in fighting the common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis.
Super-Tuss PSE also arrives in an AM and PM dose form. The AM dose is a cough suppressant, expectorant, and decongestant combination that contains Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, and Pseudoephedrine. The PM dose is an antihistamine and cough suppressant combination that contains Chlorpheniramine and Dextromethorphan. Both dose forms are ideal in fighting the common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis.
"I purchased a decongestant medication from the MCR American Pharmaceuticals Web site and in no time was cured of my cold. I recommend their decongestants for those who suffer from nasal congestion," said a recent MCR American Pharmaceuticals customer who wished to remain anonymous.
MCR American Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the marketing and development along with sales and distribution of the highest quality pharmaceuticals. MCR American Pharmaceuticals was founded by Jack Reagin in 1991 in Birmingham, AL and quickly expanded to several states in the Southeast. In 1999, MCR American Pharmaceuticals was purchased by David Ambrose and was relocated to Brooksville, FL. In 2008, MCR American Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Neuro-HiTech. MCR American Pharmaceuticals' products are now marketed throughout the United States and sold directly to the general public as well as medical offices, wholesalers, distributors and local pharmacies.

Feminine and fitted (but not shrunken), our favorite blazer is sharp and sleek with clean lines, a popped collar and a slightly longer length. It instantly pulls together any outfit and doubles as a jacket on those chilly but not quite cold mornings. We made this version in spring-ready chambray, so it's like you're wearing jeans to the office, but not. #GettingAwayWithSomething.

I've been waterboarded; it's humane.
There has been a lot of renewed talk about torture and waterboarding. Waterboarding, in my opinion, is not torture; it is a ruse and a trick. This is how it works: The subject is strapped to a board near a pool of water. The person’s head is covered with a towel to confuse orientation, and the table is tipped so that the lungs are higher than the head. The subject is not aware of the tipping. This ensures that water cannot get into the lungs and the person cannot drown. Water is poured on the forehead then gradually over the nose and mouth. The subject thinks he or she is about to be drowned, but only the discomfort of coughs and gasping occurs. I have been waterboarded as part of survival training in the Army. It is very scary but not deadly. It seems to me that this is the most humane way possible to get information from terrorists who murdered several thousand innocent people on 9 /11.
To what values is Tolar referring? Does the medical school not value reproductive health? Abortion is a legal medical procedure in the U.S., and women deserve trained physicians who can provide it when needed. Does the Medical School no longer value training its future doctors in all aspects of health care? Will politics now determine what is taught? Perhaps next the university will abandon teaching climate science or evolution because some take a dim view of these disciplines.
Stefano the sloth is one of several animal ambassadors that can be rented for events at the Como Zoo.
Shame on Dr. Tolar and the U. This is not the way to lead. Those who support reproductive freedom, who are still the overwhelming majority in this state and country, should send a message that this action is unacceptable.
The two May 9 commentaries about the events of 1968 (“A Minnesotan in Paris during the uprising” and “The year that tumbled revolutionary communism”) brought back vivid memories of that heady, unsettling time when everything and anything seemed possible, and of the profound life lessons I learned then.
And a third powerful lesson was that amid all the violence and brutality, I heard no gunshots in France (subsequent reporting indicated that very few were fired by anyone during the whole uprising and there were few deaths). Here at home it would have been a bloodbath. Gun culture matters! And our American propensity to shoot one another continues to baffle and appall.
The increasing frequency of President Donald Trump’s mad, meretricious and unconsidered acts is bringing our flawed (human) but precious and hitherto highly regarded nation into international disgrace and peril.
Our best chance to restore civility and reason to our national life is through the representatives we elect. Unless we are already registered voters, we should plan to apply for voter registration soon. Registration is required of persons who have moved, have had a name change or have not voted for four consecutive years.
Minnesota’s primary election will take place on Aug. 14, with completed registration applications due in the Secretary of State’s office (60 Empire Drive, Suite 100, St. Paul 55103) by July 24. The general election will take place on Nov. 6, with completed registration applications due in that office by Oct. 16. Requests for voter registration applications can be made online at www.vote.org. In Minneapolis, application for absentee ballots should be made as soon as possible by contacting the City of Minneapolis, 350 South 5th St., Room 201, Minneapolis 55415 or online at www.mnvotes.org.
Let’s get civility, moderation and wisdom back in our public life. We should vote as if the future of our country depends on it — it does!
The photograph of a sloth at the Como Zoo (“Party animals,” Variety, May 8) was just so special and says great things about the Star Tribune’s focus on not just the news of the day, but what we are all about.
One: The concept of 'Medicare for All' was cheered at a Fox News town hall. Two: The CEO of UnitedHealth Group seemingly failed to recognize how his company could benefit. … So here's what I think about those things.
An inquiry into U.S. principles and priorities.

We welcome supporters who choose to spend time working within our programs on short and long term assignments. By offering your time to support and enable those who are skilled, enthusiastic, adaptable, and eager, working in a developing context, you will make a difference in eye care provision worldwide.
In locations where optometry schools have recently been established, there is a lack of professional development support for new graduates to progress along their career paths to becoming faculty themselves. Without the development of locally grown faculty the fledgling optometry school will struggle to become self sustaining for the long term.
We are calling on experienced optometrists to work as faculty and mentor new graduates in developing communities who are working hard towards forging a sustainable path for the new profession.
We believe mentoring is a powerful and effective way of transferring knowledge, skills and experience. Joining our new generation of global optometrists gives you an opportunity to give new optometric professionals the confidence, guidance and support to contribute to vision for everyone…everywhere.
Optometrists, contracted by the Institute, are vital partners in sustainable Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander service delivery programs. Working on a contract basis offers flexibility, interesting travel opportunities to rural and remote destinations within Australia, and experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community culture close up in a real life setting.
If you are a qualified optometrist with an interest in public health service delivery who would like to offer your skills on a one-off or regular basis, please register your interest by contacting us.

If you’re anything like Clark Griswold from Christmas Vacation then you go all out and forget about holiday fire prevention. You probably enjoy playing chicken on the highway while you’re on the way to cut down your own tree. Then maybe you encounter some holiday lighting problem of your own like decorating the entire tree, plugging in the lights only to find out that they don’t work. Something must have happened between when you tested the lights and when you put them on the tree. If you’d like to avoid an old-fashioned Griswold family Christmas then let these tips be your guide to holiday fire prevention.

The hill is a critical terrain feature. Not only does it break up the flat, featurless table, it is the building block upon which almost all other terrain skills are derived. Lack of these skills would push some so far as to stack books under a tablecloth1. This is unacceptable, and many would be driven to violence if forced to play under such conditions. Much of your future terrain-related angst can be avoided altogether by simply following these directions.
Some general notes on terrain: Everyone wants to play on a gorgeous battlefield, replete with hills, trees, skulls, destroyed buildings, etc.; but there is a fine line between a functional tabletop battlefield and a delicate 28mm diorama unfit for those with fat fingers and a tendency to throw dice. The wise General chooses to build his terrain to the functional side of the house, with an eye on detail that does not hinder play or break easily. Todays lesson swings WAY to the functional side, but you should still be pleased with the overall outcome.Also, for every hobbyist there are different ways of doing things. This is how I make hills, but it is certianly not the only way or even the best way. This lesson was designed with simplicity and a minimal amount of supplies in mind.
More advanced terrain will be covered later in other tutorials.
If you have never built terrain before, you will need to purchase the above items. Dont get all cheap on me now, the only thing there that will break you is the foam cutter. Woodland Scenics makes a nice plug-in model for about $25, dont bother with the battery powered model. The consumables will last you a long time, as well, unless you are opening a terrain factory or are really sloppy.
Hills can be of any shape or size, but generally they only have to be big enough to put a unit on top, or smaller. Remember, for mass battles where units have to move in formation (like the Stormvermin above) a hill can be an obstacle or a defensive position. If it is meant to be the latter, everybody needs to be able to be on top. Using your marker, make an outline of the base of the hill. As you will see later, the top will be somewhat narrower than that, so allow room around the edges for the slope.
Make all of your gross cuts now with the disposable knife. You dont have to cut too close to the lines, but you need to be close enough for the foam cutter to do its job. The Woodland Scenics cutter has about a 5" cut depth, so leave no more than 2"-3" all around.
Pink insulation foam is covered in a thin plastic film to protect it during handling. Peel it off now. Heck, peel it off the whole 4X8 sheet, you wont need it. The foam cutter will slice through the foam very neatly, but not quickly. Be patient and use a steady hand to trim away the excess foam to your outline.
Again, with the foam cutter, cut a beveled edge around the entire piece at about a 45 degree angle, using either the "top" or "bottom" edge as a guide . It can be greater if you want a gentler slope, less if you want a sharp drop. We will cover cliffs and other hill related terrain in another article. Dont worry if your cuts arent perfect, we will correct that in the next phase, but cleaner cuts speed up the process.
Using the spackling sandpaper, sand the edges so that they are smooth and flow gently. THIS SHOULD BE DONE OUTSIDE or you will have pink dust all over everything you own. Be careful not to gouge the foam with the paper (it happens) as big gouges will be obvious when you are done. Take the time to sand off the very thin, fragile edge all around the outside of the piece. Do it now, because later it will just break off, ruining your hard work. When you are happy with the shape of your hill, move on to the next stage.
Using discarded chunks of foam, create a little stand to put your hill on in the box. This will keep you from painting the hill to the bottom of the box.
Now is a good time to make sure the entire hill fits in the box (side to side). If it doesnt, get a new box.
Using your paint (it doesnt matter if it is gloss or matte as long as the color is close) liberally paint the entire top surface of the hill. Dont be afraid to slop it on a little, no one will know, but if you use too little you will screw up the next step.
Shake the ground foam directly onto the WET paint. It will stick nicely. Spread it out by shaking the entire box gently. DO NOT BLOW on THE FOAM. It will just blow into your eye, idiot. Be sure you cover the entire hill. You will be able to get any excess foam back out of the box when you are done, so apply liberally.
Allow the hill(s) to dry completely, about an hour or so depending on what paint you bought, etc.
Brush off the loose flock into the box with your hand or a dry paintbrush. Any foam in the box can now be poured back into your foam container for future use.
That's it – you now have your own hill. These are attractive, fairly durable, and cheap and easy to make. Make about 4 or 5 of them in different sizes, and never have to tuck a book under a tablecloth again. Do not use a spray sealant on the piece as it will dissolve the foam flock. When the piece gets worn out, you can experiment with it and make something different, or just throw it away.

The average temperature ranges between 80 and 90 degrees (29-32 degrees celsius) from June to October, sometimes reaching the mid 90’s (35 degrees celsius), especially in the late summer months. From November to May the average temperature is 80 to 84 degrees (27-29 degrees celsius). Water temperature in the summer is 82 to 84 degrees (28-29 degrees celsius) and in winter about 74 to 78 degrees (23-26 degrees celsius). A constant trade wind keeps the climate at a very comfortable level.

Cloudy with occasional showers. High 48F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%..
Showers in the evening, then cloudy overnight. Low 42F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
The length of day relative to the time of year never changes. As the nights lengthen slightly with each passing day in fall, the overnight temperatures drop and pull heat from the top layers of lakes.
This development is already underway, but will peak over the next month and make excellent fishing conditions for black bass.
The shallow movement of black bass, mainly largemouth bass, but a few spotted bass and even smallmouth on lakes that have them, presents the best bass fishing opportunities of the year for bank-bound anglers.
Water temperatures in Kentucky’s major reservoirs are in the mid-70s. When the temperatures drop into the 60s, bank anglers should hit the lower 1/3 of the main lake or major creek arm of our major reservoirs and the dam area of our smaller, state-owned lakes. You will have as good a chance at a 5-pound or better bass as someone with a bass boat that costs as much as many people’s homes.
Bank fishing, like wade fishing streams, returns anglers to a time when all they had was a small, one-tray tackle box and a Zebco 33 combo. You can concentrate on fishing, not fighting wind with a trolling motor or fiddling with a cranky sonar unit. You can bring one rod and one small tackle bag or box and have all you need.
Map study is paramount for finding productive spots to bank fish for bass in fall. Points with the old river or major creek channel running close to them are tops. Most of our major reservoirs have boat ramps and recreational areas in the lower areas of the main lake or a major creek arm that offer public bank access.
Our smaller, state-owned lakes have a 50-foot easement for the public to access the bank for fishing. Visit the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website at www.fw.ky.gov and click on the “Find a Place To Fish” tab. Many of the state-owned lakes now have 5-foot contour maps and locations of fish attractors featured on this helpful web page.
You will catch mainly largemouth bass, but in the lower sections of lakes such as Lake Cumberland, Barren River Lake or Green River Lake that hold smallmouths, a marauding bronzeback may savage your lure, especially on overcast days. You may also pick up a football-shaped spotted bass. Spotted bass make excellent table fare. It generally benefits the black bass population in the lake if you harvest some spotted bass, one of the reasons they have no minimum size limit.
Boat ramps are another spot to catch bass, especially largemouths and spotted bass. Nearly all boat ramps have a gouge hole at the end of them from the blast of outboards scouring the bottom when trailering a boat. By mid-October, boat ramps get little action from boats, so working a crankbait over the gouge hole at the end of the ramp can produce fantastic action.
The riprap rock that armors the face of most reservoir dams also draws baitfish and bass in fall. “Dams hold those bass when they come shallow in fall and make really good fishing spots for bank anglers,” Ross said.
Crankbaits and spinnerbaits work well for fishing the dam riprap, but a large crappie minnow or small to medium shiner hooked through upper lip with a 1/0-circle hook and a couple of BB-sized split shot weights usually outfishes everything. Keep the outfit moving slowly to avoid hanging the split shot weights in the riprap. Bottom fishing live bait off channel points also works wonders in fall.
Fall is a delightful time to grab a rod, a small tackle bag and hit the bank. The weather is comfortable and the fish hungry.

Due to a variety of conditions (e.g. trauma, missing teeth, infection, tumor removal) the bones of the face lack sufficient quantity and quality to support proper facial contours, or support for placement of dental implants. Over time, aging, osteoporosis and stress can also add to bone loss. Bone can be replaced by a variety of techniques, depending on the type of deficit involved, and future plans to restore functionality and esthetic appearance.
It is always best if possible to restore missing bone with the patient’s own natural bone. Many small defects can be repaired by obtaining bone from locations within the oral cavity, mostly from the lower jaw. Larger defects require areas that will supply a larger quantity of bone. We commonly utilize the knee cap (tibia), hip bone or outer layer of the skull for this purpose. Depending on the shape of the defect involved, either block or particle shaped bone will be required.
Bone grafts taken from within the mouth are normally done in office, usually under sedation. The bone taken eventually regenerates, leaving the jaw as strong as prior to the bone graft.
Bone taken from the knee (tibia) can also be performed in our state-of-the-art, office-based, outpatient surgical facility under strict sterile conditions. Patients leave the office without the need of assistance with walking, and can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Bone grafts taken from the hip bone require surgery to be performed in the hospital, normally with an overnight stay. Following normal healing, our patients return to normal activities within a few weeks following surgery.
Determining the exact amount , shape and placement of the bone is based on an examination, models, and a 3 dimensional Cone Beam CT scans of the areas involved. Special cases require the manufacture of a custom anatomical model of the facial bones in order to plan your surgery.
Some cases may allow for the use of artificial bone to be used as a substitute, or in conjunction with natural bone. This bone can come from a variety of sources (animal, coral, algae, synthetic), or may be freeze dried (harvested from a cadaver). Be assured that freeze dried bone is thoroughly tested and prepared to remove any harmful materials before its use in humans. Recently, a new form of genetically engineered bone (rBMP/Infuse?) has been introduced that eliminates the need for bone harvesting, or the need for bone substitutes. Incorporation time of the graft varies from 3-9 months, depending on the situation. Many times, dental implants can be placed at the same time as the bone graft.
The upper jaw (maxilla) has two open cavities, called the sinuses. These cavities, above the posterior teeth, normally act to filter and moisturize the air we breathe. After tooth loss, bone can be lost resulting in a relatively enlarged sinus cavity. When dental implants are considered in this area of limited bone, surgery is performed to rebuild bone, allowing implants to be placed. Through an small incision, the lining of the sinus cavity is exposed and elevated. Bone grafts and implants can then be placed. This can be done in a single stage or in multiple procedures, depending on your condition.
Once the bone graft and implants have healed, permanent teeth can be placed by your dentist. The average treatment time can be from 4-12 months.
In cases where either bone height and/or width are deficient, an onlay graft is normally required in preparation for implant placement. Small to medium sized defects can be restored with a graft taken from the lower jaw while larger areas may need to be grafted with bone taken from the hip. Depending upon your condition, surgery may need to be done in one or more stages.
The inferior alveolar nerve, which gives feeling to the lower lip and chin, may need to be moved in order to make room for placement of dental implants to the lower jaw. This procedure is limited to the lower jaw and indicated when teeth are missing in the area of the two back molars and/or and 2nd premolar, with the above-mentioned secondary condition. Since this procedure is considered a very aggressive approach (there is almost always some postoperative numbness of the lower lip and jaw area, which dissipates only very slowly, if ever), usually other options are considered first such as building the ridge up with an onlay bone graft, a ?tent pole? graft, or expanding the bone through a process called distraction osteogenesis.
A predictable alternative to the placement of onlay grafts is to grow bone by distraction. This technique is similar in principle to the orthopedic principles of limb lengthening. In the area of bone defect, an appliance is placed in the area of needed bone. Over a period of approximately 2 weeks, old bone is ?stretched? apart and new bone grows in its place. After this new bone heals (~3 months), dental implants can be placed.
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been developed in order to enhance the body?s healing capacity in a variety of situations. With respect to it?s use in bone grafting, PRP dramatically improves not only the quality and quantity of bone healing, but also the speed at which the bone graft heals, while reducing postoperative discomfort associated with the procedure.
During the bone graft procedure, a small test tube of blood is withdrawn from a vein in the arm. This blood is prepared in a special device that separates the platelets from the body of the blood. By adding chemicals to release the platelet?s special growth factors (proteins), the PRP is added to the graft to enhance healing.
Bone grafting for dental implants. This includes onlay and inlay grafts, sinus lift procedures, ridge augmentation procedures, and closure of cleft, lip and palate defects.
Repair of bone defects creating by removal of teeth or small cysts.
Repair of openings between the sinus cavity and mouth.
Is PRP safe? Yes. During the outpatient surgical procedure a small amount of your own blood is drawn out via the IV. This blood is then placed in the PRP centrifuge machine and spun down. In less than fifteen minutes, the PRP is formed and ready to use.
Will my insurance cover the costs? Unfortunately not. The cost of the PRP application (approximately $500-750) is paid by the patient.
Can PRP be used alone to stimulate bone formation? No. PRP must be mixed with either the patient’s own bone, a bone substitute material such as demineralized freeze-dried bone, or a synthetic bone product.
Are there any contraindications to PRP? Very few. Obviously, patients with bleeding disorders or hematologic diseases do not qualify for this in-office procedure. Check with Dr. Sultan to determine if PRP is right for you.

Last week, I reported on the ongoing shenanigans of President Obama’s rogue Interior Department.
House GOP watchdogs continue to chip away at the stonewall surrounding the reckless, politicized White House drilling ban.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04) on Friday, July 13 sent a letter to Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar regarding the Committee’s request for transcribed interviews with five Department officials who were personally involved in developing the May 2010 Interior Department report that falsely stated independent engineers had peer reviewed and supported a drilling moratorium.
In this follow-up letter, Chairman Hastings states that he intends to invite the five Department officials, and possibly other Department officials, to a Full Committee oversight hearing so they can answer questions on the record. Discussions were held between Committee and Department staff regarding the requested interviews, but no interview schedule was agreed upon. The Committee offered a significant compromise to conduct transcribed interviews with only two Department officials and with Steve Black. However, this offer was rejected by the Department, which only offered off-the record interviews away from public scrutiny. The Committee has been actively investigating the matter for over a year and has issued a subpoena to the Interior Department for documents, to which the Department has almost entirely failed to fully comply.
Meanwhile, the revolving door turns for a top Interior Department flack.
Interior Department press secretary Adam Fetcher is joining President Obama’s reelection campaign as a deputy national press secretary.
Fetcher will enter the political fray with plenty of seasoning after parrying near-daily GOP attacks against Interior Department energy policies.
Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP White House nominee, has made criticism of White House energy policies a staple of his stump speeches, so Fetcher’s background will likely be put to use in coming weeks and months.
Voters, especially those in the West who have been disproportionately harmed by these imperial bureaucrats, should make sure the stonewalls and revolving doors at the Obama Interior Department are converted into a permanent exit way.

Obtaining student loan forgiveness can help you eliminate all or a portion of your student loan debt. This process can be a significant financial boost for those that qualify. Certain careers allow easier access to loan forgiveness programs than others. Here are a few career paths to consider for student loan forgiveness.
One career path that offers some significant relief for student loan debt is teaching. Teachers are in short supply in many areas, and as a result, the federal government has put student loan forgiveness programs into place for them. They know that this type of program has the ability to entice people to get into the teaching field.
In order to qualify for the programs, you have to meet certain guidelines. For example, you need to have been a teacher for 5 consecutive years. You also have to be a full-time teacher. The loans that you want forgiven need to have been generated after October 1, 1998.
The school district that you work for has to meet some requirements as well. The elementary or secondary school that you work for has to service enough low-income families to belong in certain government categorizations. With this type of loan program, you can get as much as 30 percent of your loans forgiven.
Getting into the medical field also could give you the ability to have some student loans forgiven. The National Health Services Corps offers a great loan forgiveness program for doctors and nurses that qualify. This program is designed to provide medical care to those that are in remote or economically depressed areas. These areas typically have little medical care available and therefore have a high demand for doctors and nurses.
To qualify for this program, upon graduation, you have to perform medical services in one of these regions for a certain number of years. For example, they might give you a certain amount of forgiveness for 5 years of work in a remote area. With the high cost of medical school, this program can provide a huge financial relief for many new medical professionals.
The military is another career path to consider if you want your student loans to be forgiven. The different branches of the military have different programs that they offer to pay for student loans. For example, with the National Guard, you can get up to $50,000 worth of student loans forgiven.
The Army also has a nice program for student loan help. With their program, you can get 33 1/3 percent or $1500 towards the unpaid balances of your qualifying student loans for each year of service. Therefore, the longer that you work for the Army, the more money you will be able to accumulate towards the forgiveness of your student loans. To qualify for this program, you have to enlist with a high school diploma, have an Armed Forces Qualification Test score of at least 50 and enlist in a critical military occupation.

Many people do not know/realize that those "White Doves" being released at weddings, birthdays, funerals and such, are in reality White Homing Pigeons. And there are many city people call pigeons "flying rats" or "winged rats". But the truth is that pigeons are wonderful birds to those that love them. I am one of those people. I have talked about Joe and Ann Creel on several pages of this Working Wings Website. They had all types of birds, geese, ducks, chickens, peacocks, pheasants, the list goes on, and of course they had Pigeons...many pigeons. Creel's Pigeon House was bigger then some people's homes and kept nicer too. Joe Creel was a Judge at Bird Shows for Pigeons and he himself had some of the best birds in the country. He also had many breeds. I was blessed to spend time many childhood hours in Creel's bird housings. The care they gave their birds was better then I have seen some people give their own children. I guess the Creels instilled a love of/for birds in my heart that is still strong today. I am in the process of finding different breeds Pigeons to own again, but am finding that here in NW SD it is much harder to find birds. Deron and I would like to race Homing Pigeons, perhaps Show Pigeons and more.
There is much a person can do with a pigeon. Their cooooing is sooooothing. You can show your Pigeons in a Pigeon show, if it is of a pure bred and has the right appearance. Racing Homers can really race and there are clubs around the country. Some people breed pigeons to sell the offspring. Many folks raise pigeons for meat. As I say above White Homer/Homing Pigeons are the real Doves that are released at weddings, parties, funerals and such. And some people like to keep Pigeons just to enjoy their company. They like to "dink around" with the Pigeons, the cage the housing the breeding. They keep Pigeons as a real and enjoyable hobby.
Scroll down to see photos of our new birds. We are very excited to be "back in Pigeons".
Pigeons can live with minimal care, but they should not have to live a low life. The better care you take of your birds/animals, the healthier and happier they will be. Any animals you own depend on you for their feed, health and happiness, don't let them down.
If you are keeping Pigeons you should have at least a few basic Pigeon Books on your Book Shelf. If you are going to Race or Show your birds, you will need more books on the subjects. The more you know through reading book and visiting Internet Websites on the subject, not only the healthier and happier your birds will be, but you will learn tricks to give you a competitors edge.
Below is just a bit of what every Pigeon Keeper/Fancier needs to know.
I have found that when it comes to feeding animals there are as many opinions as there are people that keep them. Some will tell you that "Winged Rats" or "Flying Rats" as some call Pigeons, can eat anything. And to some degree they can. Of course they will not be as healthy or preform as well as those that are feed a balanced diet for Pigeons. Those Pigeons that live near the Feed Mill or the Park near your home are not as healthy nor could they fly as well (racing or homing) as birds that are fed well and had their health looked after by a kind and caring Pigeon Keeper. Some think that those Feral Pigeons live long lives because those people always see them hanging around Feed Mills and or Parks. The truth is, Pigeons breed well and produce babies, so what those folks are seeing is Pigeons indeed, but not the same ones year after year.
Since there as so many opinions I have always read up on diet written by successful keepers. You would do well to do the same. Listen to what the Pigeon Keepers that are winning at Shows and or Races are feeding. Read up on all the types of food there is for Pigeons to eat. I am sure you will find that most are feeding a good blend of seeds and peas and natural foods as well as providing a good quality grit for their birds. Many will also feed veggies that are human grade.
I am not sure why folks have to be told, I just do not understand, but here is goes, your birds and animals need fresh clean water daily. If you would not drink it, then it is not for them either.
Now and again you will/might add vitamins and or dewormers to the fresh clean water you give them. It seems there are many ideas on how to and what and how often to add these items to the water, so do your research and choose the best way for you and your birds.
Pigeons, especially working birds, do need vitamins added to their water approx once a week. If you feed a good and healthy diet to your birds they will not need the vitamins as often or as much as birds that are not getting a good healthy diet that is designed for Pigeons and or the type of work your Pigeons will be doing.
DRY AND NO DRAFTS. Your Pigeon can live in a variety of cages and or Lofts. They need room to roost, nest and fly. Pigeons are fine when it is cold out but need to be out of the direct sunlight, wind and need to have no drafts in their housing. Most and far most, the cage/loft needs to stay dry. Most serious keepers have a bathing area away from the bedding on the cage floor.
Set up your Pigeons so that not only will cats, raccoons, dogs and or other animals not be able to get to them, but also that the Pigeons will not be worried from the other animals either. Set your birds up so that cats can not sleep on top of their cages, not at your dogs eye level so that it or other dogs stand and bark at the birds (train you dogs not to do this also), or that other animals can not get into the cages or lofts. If your cats do sleep on top of your cages add a board so that the cats can not see the birds and the birds can not see the cat.
Pigeons will use round Parrot like perches, but they prefer flat surfaces or V shaped perches. There are many ways to create these type of perches for your birds. Again, not Rocket Science. Scrap pieces of 2" x 4" boards could work well for your set up. If you choose to use Parrot type round perches use different circumstance sizes to keep the birds feet healthy. Use large sized dowels or branches. Know that if you use branches from trees you may be bringing in lice and diseases from wild birds to your Pigeons. You will be better off and safer as well as save money on medications if you start with the proper Pigeon perches from clean wood to begin with.
Keeping your bird cages and or lofts clean is not only important for your birds health but also your own. Many people, bird keepers have injured their lungs with the bird duct and dander that comes from birds of all types. Good ventilation in your cages and lofts will reduce the amount that gathers. Wearing a mask when you clean, especially in a loft, will help keep the bird dust and dander out of your own lungs. Keep your birds habitat clean and don't let this as well as the waste build up.
When you bring home new birds do NOT put them in with your other birds. Do NOT bring in new birds, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE FROM and put them in with your birds.
Set up a small Quarantine Cage/Pen/Loft and put any new birds coming in to your place in that area for a minimum of 30 days. Feed these new birds last. Do not use bowls or waterers or nestboxes from that these birds have been using in your existing or birds you owned earlier cages.
You never know what the new birds might be carrying. It might be as simple as lice or as deadly that it will wipe out your entire flock. When I bring home new animals I deworm them with Ivomec. Ivomec also kills internal parasites. I give the new animals vitamins and slowly, if it were different, feed them the diet my existing animals are eating. I trim hooves, claws, toenails, or whatever needs trimming, and let the new animals settle into the sites and sounds of our place.
When a person keeps any type of animal, birds included, they should have some items on hand at all times. It is not Rocket Science nor does on need a degree to treat their own animals for most ailings. Deworming medications, Wound Salves. If you keep Pigeons you should have a Meds Box or First Aid Kit for them. Items such as Nail and Beak Cutters should be kept there as well as Dewormers, Lice Powders, as well as Medications for common ailments/diseases such as Ridzol and or Metronidazole for Canker; Amprolium for Coccidiossis; Ampicillan or Baytril for Salmonella. You can buy these items at a Good Farm Store or On Line from Pigeon and Dove Product Suppliers. You can also buy your vaccines from them and give your Birds their "Shots".
If you own Pigeons are Working Birds, ie they have a job such as racing, showing, dove release, 4H project, food for your table, or the like, you are a foolish person if you are not taking the time with your birds, if you are not feeding them the correct diet, if you are not caring for their health and well being. If you have working birds you need to own books, join clubs and learn all you can about all you can do to keep your birds at their best. It might seem expensive to you at first. But the truth is, it will cost you much more in the long run not to spend the time and money it costs to care for them as best you can. Not only will you birds be healthier, it will give you a winners/winning edge.
The contents of this page, as with most of the pages on our many websites, is a work in progress. We add information from time to time. We add photos as we take them. We add information as we have time to and learn.
As of July 14, 2011 Deron and I are Pigeon owners again. We picked up six Fantail Pigeon this afternoon and spent the evening settling them in a cage in the new/being built barn. I am very excited about them and am looking forward to learning more about showing. I found these beauties on Craig's List.
My one Silky Fantail is the one in the middle, the light tan. I am thrilled to have it. I have been offered more. Later when we can get more of the cages set back up, I am sure hoping to get more. Right now. We are just getting set up again and getting back into the swing of "things pigeon".
I love this cage. It has special meaning to me. It was, with another like it, given to me by a DEAR FRIEND in N WI who has had pigeons since she was a child. In fact, in her 40s she still has some of the same pigeon lines as she first bought in Orange County CA. She used these cages for many years then her loved one built her a nice BIG Bird building for her chickens and pigeons.
Although not set up the way we want it yet, here are the pigeons in their vintage and special cage. Deron will be building pigeon holes and adding perches.
Deron and I have wanted to get into Racing Pigeons and talked about now and again for a few years. We have been talking about finding a Pigeon Club in the area for the last two years. I did look. Seems that until today, July 23, 2011 it was not suppose to happen. I took an ad out on Craig's List looking for Homing Pigeons, and I said that we were also interested in a Pigeon Club. Low and Behold I got an email right way. Not only that the Racing Pigeon Club was meeting that next day but also that there were birds and equipment available we might want to look at. We got up at 5 am so we could get to the meeting on time (we normally do not get up that early). The people were very friendly, helpful and after the meeting we followed one of the gentlemen home to see some birds and other items he had available that we might need to get set up. This man was the same man that answered my Craig's List ad, Jim Osche.
Jim Osche could not have been more kind, helpful or generous. We ended up with waaaaaaay better birds (bloodliners, condition and racing wise) then we had even dreamed of. We also left with the back of the pickup truck full of Pigeon Items we will certainly need to get set up and more to boot! Again, more then we dreamed of! Jim showed us his set up, explained pairing and breeding and flying and feed mix that has worked for him and more. He answered all of our questions and we look forward to the next club meeting to see the "Bird Guys" again.
Coming Soon. We are working toward the goal or owning White Homing Pigeons to offer for releases at people's weddings, funerals, parties, baby homecomings and other events. Please see our White Dove Release page at this website.
Deron surprised me with a gift of White Homing Pigeons (to be delivered 12/27/11) so the next chapter in our lives will begin...a Business of White Dove Release.

VANCOUVER — Climate change and freedom of expression shouldn’t be factors in considering an injunction application against protesters blockading pipeline work through Metro Vancouver, a lawyer told a B.C. Supreme Court judge.
Five protesters, including two Simon Fraser University professors, are named as defendants in the court action that precedes a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit over claims of trespass, assault and intimidation against employees prevented from conducting survey work through a conservation area on Burnaby Mountain.
The protesters belong to a group calling itself the Caretakers of Burnaby Mountain. Around-the-clock demonstrations have been mounted since late September, with encampments around two bore hole sites and portion of an adjacent park where Trans Mountain has approval from the National Energy Board to conduct field studies.
The company went to court after incidents over two days in late October. Kaplan alleged protesters wielded tactics ranging from blasting a megaphone near workers’ ears to a man chaining himself under a work vehicle. Protesters used social media and phone networks to organize opposition, he said.
Kaplan told the court that erecting protest signs on the mountain constituted free expression, but then presented photographs of the protesters with facial expressions he said were malicious.
As Kaplan presented his evidence, supporters of the demonstrators in the packed gallery frequently burst into laughter and called out snide remarks. They erupted in applause as Kaplan read a note posted online by defendant Stephen Collis, an SFU English professor.
“I don’t care right now about the National Energy Board of Canada, merely a corporate tool for shoehorning global energy projects into other people’s territories, a funnel for money from the public to the private sector,” Kaplan quote Collis.
The proceedings were held in a courtroom usually reserved for high-security cases with thick Plexiglas shielded the court from the noise.
Before the hearing began, Collis led a rally outside the court, urging further public support for the group in its fight.
Within four days the Caretakers have raised $40,000 from 600 separate donors for legal costs, and garnered support from 100 environmental and labour organizations, he said.
But he acknowledged that winning the case would be an “uphill battle,” noting judges in B.C. have often granted injunctions in the resources sector.
If the injunction is granted, individual protesters would make their own decisions on whether to obey, he said.
Defendant Lynne Quarmby told the placard-waving crowd outside the court that she believed she was “targeted” in the suit because she had spoken out against climate change.
The pipeline would almost triple the capacity of its existing pipeline between Alberta and B.C. to 900,000 barrels of crude a day. The NEB granted approval for Trans Mountain work including geophysical mapping, drilling of bore holes, groundwater investigation and surveys of wildlife, soil, vegetation and archeological impact.
The company says it wishes to fence off areas for the work and post safety signs, but alleges the protesters have threatened further confrontation if they go forward. The hearing is expected to last through to Friday.

Issues generating boot.bin for secure boot.
1.) Am I doing anything wrong above(barring secure practices). Are there any ideas as to what the problem might be?
2.) Does anyone know how the nky file is supposed to be formatted assuming bootgen doesn't create one?
3.) What does the HMAC field mean here (in either bootgen or SDKs boot tool, same right?) ? Do I provide the key or do I put in an actual HMAC? If it's the HMAC and not the key, then from which image do I generate the HMAC? From what I read, each image has an HMAC so I think this must be the key. Please advise.
Re: Issues generating boot.bin for secure boot.
Please follow the below procedure.
It will not work for ES device.
An indication that the device is in secure mode is that JTAG is disabled. Trying to connect with XMD would fail.
Thanks for the response! I have made more progress but would you provide more instructions on using impact to flash the key? I also wish to use bbram and not efuse to store the key.

Sugar flowers make beautiful cake decorations for many occasions and we have a fantastic range of handmade sugar flowers in a selection of colours and varieties. Roses are of course one of the most popular flowers to add to any cake, take a look at our vast choice of roses in different sizes plus you will also find sugar blossoms, forget-me-nots, lilies, orchids, freesias, gerberas, mixed sprays and more.
Depending on your cake design, choose from individually wired flowers that can be added to a spray, or whole sprays of flowers that include leaves and we also have a great range of piped roses and wafer daisies that can be simply popped straight onto a cupcake!
Whatever your colour scheme, we are sure to have the right shade to suit your cake, from the traditional colours of white, ivory, red and pink to brighter colours such as yellow, blue, purple and orange plus gold, silver and pearlised. If you want to add colour to the flowers yourself, the best way is by using edible dusting powders which can be built up gradually to reach the desired shade and come in a variety of shades including gold and silver. In order to avoid streaks of colour on the flowers, tip a little dust onto kitchen paper and using a medium soft brush, take up some of the dust and brush a few strokes onto the paper so only a small amount of dust is left on the brush, then dust the flower. Alternatively you could use a lustre spray, available in a variety of colours.
Once you have chosen your sugar flowers, you might want to add a few non-edible or artificial items into your sprays, such as bear grass or gypsophila – these can be found under the Artificial flowers section. Perhaps you want to add a bit of sparkle to your cakes with gems, pearls and diamantes – these can be found in the Wedding Decorations section.
Packing: the flowers are packed extremely well resulting in very, very few breakages, however due to the delicate nature of these sugar flowers, if any flowers are damaged in transit, please inform us straight away and we will replace them.

Oprah Winfrey is donating $2million to help rebuild Puerto Rico and support arts and cultural programs in the wake of the devastating 2017 hurricane.
The Hispanic Federation and the Flamboyan Arts Fund said in a statement on Monday that half of the donation - $1million - would go to towards the Hispanic Federation's UNIDOS Disaster Relief & Recovery Program to support long-term needs after Hurricane Maria.
The other half of the donation will go to the Flamboyan Arts Fund, which is dedicated to fostering the island's rich heritage of arts, culture and creative development.
Winfrey, one of the most influential media moguls in the U.S., said she was inspired by the efforts of musical theater creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who took his hit stage show Hamilton to the island for a limited run in January.
'I was so moved by Lin-Manuel Miranda´s commitment to bring Hamilton to Puerto Rico and support the community that served him growing up that I wanted to join in the revitalization efforts of an island so rich in culture, beauty and heritage,' Winfrey said in a statement.
Miranda sponsored 23 performances of his Tony award-winning musical in Puerto Rico earlier this year, even reprising his role as Alexander Hamilton for the first time since leaving the original Broadway cast in 2016.
With some help of Miranda's run in Hamilton, the Flamboyan Arts Fund has raised an estimated $15million for Puerto Rican artists and art institutions.
The hurricane caused an estimated $100billion in damage to homes and infrustructure and left much of the island without drinking water or electricity for months.

Constructed in Rhode Island in 1906, by renowned designer and craftsman Charles I.D. Looff. The carousel was intended to be installed in San Francisco, however it could not be due to the great 1906 earthquake and fire. In 1907, it was installed at Luna Park in Seattle, WA. In 1913, it was moved to San Francisco's Playland-at-the-Beach. In 1972, Playland-at-the-Beach closes. The carousel was purchased by a private collector and put into storage in New Mexico. In 1983, it was moved to Shoreline Village, Long Beach, CA. In 1998, it was purchased by the City of San Francisco, fully restored, and opened in its current location at Children's Creativity Museum in Yerba Buena Gardens. In 2014, the carousel was fully restored and renamed in honor of former SF Redevelopment Commissioner LeRoy King.
Originally carved and manufactured in 1912 by the Herschell-Spillman Company. The carousel appeared as one of the main sights at the 1939 World's Fair on Treasure Island, and also entertained at amusement parks in Los Angeles and Portland.

Next Training Begins May 14th!
Our family struggled a lot and we are proud to say that we are healthy and all together now. It started with an addiction to methamphetamine’s. I can say that now. Today I can stand up and say that I am an addict. I couldn’t say that four years ago, I couldn’t admit that I was addicted to meth and that I was the cause of my family being ripped apart. I want to say thank you today to my CASA, to my Case Worker, and to my treatment team. Without you all we wouldn’t be back together as a family. Without your believe in me, I would still be living on the streets without my family.
I was sent to prison for domestic violence and was released after two years in jail. During that time, my wife was continuing to use meth and our four children were in and out of foster care placements. I couldn’t keep track of where they were during any given month. They didn’t know their parents, my wife was missing, and I was struggling to come to terms with what I had done to my family and myself.
After I was released, I wanted to get my kids back. I managed to track down my wife and then we were told that we had problems with DHS and they had our kids. We went to court and agreed to work with DHS and the system to get our kids back. The Judge told me that my case was one of the most difficult she had seen and that she really hoped our family made it, for the sake of our children.
No one had believed in me before but I found that once I admitted what I had done, people helped me. My CASA, my caseworker, my sponsor, and many other people, including the Judge, gave us a second chance. Our kids were placed with us after three months of hard work and reflection about what we had done to cause us to be in this situation. It is still hard for me to believe that people can have respect for me after what I did to my family. I have a long way to go but today we are back together, I have a job, I have a year clean, and our kids are doing so great. Thank you to everyone for never giving up on us.

#ferries - A Breton farmer and boss of Brittany Ferries Jean-Marc Roué has recently been re-elected president of Armateurs de France, the French equivalent of the UK Chamber of Shipping, writes Jehan Ashmore.
This afternoon the UK Prime Minister, Theresa May is to make a plea at an EU emergency summit in Brussels, by proposing to all 27 leaders to delay Brexit with an extension date of 30th June.
The ferry operator Armement Bretagne-Angleterre-Irelande, or B.A.I. officially began sailing on 2 January 1973, just a day after Britain joined the Common Market of the European Economic Community (EEC) a predecessor of the EU.
B.A.I. which trades as Brittany Ferries, was founded by Alex Gourvennec who saw this chance to end the geographical isolation of Brittany by exporting vegetables to the UK marketplace.
A ro-ro freighter was purchased and renamed Kerisnel, a small Breton village made famous for its cauliflowers. The first sailing took place from Roscoff to Plymouth, Cornwall.
To this day, farmers in the most western region of France remain the company's main shareholders.

#ferries - Brittany Ferries Cork-Roscoff cruise-ferry Pont-Aven began today its first sailing in 2019 on the seasonal route and will save energy and reduce fuel consumption thanks to the installation of two innovative devices on the ship's propellers.
For the past two years, Brittany Ferries has partnered with CEA Tech in France. Several projects are underway, including the development of a long-range broadband link that would use land-based transmitters to obviate the use of satellite-at-sea. A second study focuses on hybrid energy solutions for Cap Finistère, Brittany Ferries cruise-ferry that sails from the UK to Spain. The last is exploring the long-term implementation of fuel cells for powering certain of the ship's on-board systems.
#ferries - In an announcement today Brittany Ferries has said it is to charter a third brand new cruise-ferry to serve its long-haul routes.
The news follows trading results for 2018 which includes Cork-Roscoff which saw an increase in both passengers and freight compared to last year.
As yet the unnamed ship will be chartered from Stena RoRo and will be built to the Swedish shipowner’s E-Flexer design. Its arrival will bring to three the number of E-Flexer class ships in Brittany Ferries’ fleet following the arrival of Galicia in 2021 and Salamanca in 2022.
Three passenger decks will contain a range of boutiques, restaurants, bars and cafes all decorated to offer a rich and inspiring Spanish style giving customers a colourful foretaste of Iberian landscapes, towns and culture as they sail.
#ferries - Brittany Ferries resumed service on the Cork-Roscoff seasonal route last week and has recently revealed passenger, freight and financial results for 2018.
The encouraging results across the ferry operator's network come despite the pound being worth around 15% less than it was two years ago. That has proved challenging for a company whose income is generated in pounds sterling, with a cost-base in euros. Further challenges have come from on-going Brexit uncertainty and the effect this is having on summer 2019 bookings.The ferry company carried 2.6 million passengers on all routes last year, an increase of 1.4%. It made a profit of €8 million on a total turnover of €442m.
Brittany Ferries is a French company. But its success is largely built on British customers. In total, 85% of passengers come from the UK. It has therefore used its 2018 results to reinforce an important message to French government: take urgent steps to ensure British holiday makers and freight move freely. The regions of north west France depend upon Brittany Ferries as a significant wealth generator.
On 7 March 2019 Jean-Marc Roué, Brittany Ferries’ president, hosted Jean-Yves Le Drian, the French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs. Showing him around Roscoff port and its facilities, Roué talked at length about border controls and customs, as well as health and sanitary checks for goods arriving in France.
Concerns in France come as planning to minimise traffic queues on the UK side intensifies. Portsmouth, for example, is Brittany Ferries’ UK-hub. Recent exercises led by the Local Resilience Forum suggest that carefully managed traffic solutions can prevent freight delays en-route to the port, should the UK leave the EU without a deal on March 29th.
“We made a profit in 2018 thanks to a combination of careful management and structural change,” added Christophe Mathieu, CEO of Brittany Ferries. “Our positive results come despite the pound being worth significantly less than it was two years ago and as Brexit uncertainty weakens demand for trips to France and Spain this summer.
Brittany Ferries operates 11 routes linking the UK, France, Spain and Ireland with twelve ships, four of which are chartered. In the UK it operates services from Portsmouth to four destinations in France and two in northern Spain. From Poole it sails to Cherbourg and operates a freight-only service to Bilbao.
Plymouth has been linked to Roscoff since the company’s first sailing on 2 January 1973, the day after the UK joined the Common Market (forerunner to the EU). Today ferries also link Plymouth with northern Spain.
More than half a billion euros were spent by Brittany Ferries’ customers visiting France last year. There were 854,000 unique visitors, staying 9.2 million bed-nights. Brittany, Normandy and the Loire were the biggest regional winners. Brittany hosted 295,000 visitors generating €150m in wealth for the region. Normandy welcomed 219,000 guests who spent €78m; the Loire received 143,000 visitors who spent €78m, thanks to British customers.
Three new ships have been ordered post-Brexit, following an investment of €450m in the company’s future. Two of these ships will be powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas), a fuel that reduces sulphur and particulate emissions to almost zero and cuts average CO2 (carbon dioxide) output by around 20 per cent.
When the newbuild arrives at the end of the year, Honfleur will be the first ferry on the English Channel to be powered by LNG. As well as environmental credentials, the new ferry will also embody the company’s drive towards a digital future and ambition to reveal even more fabulous destinations around the coastlines of the European west.
#ferry - The hull of Brittany Ferries’ brand new LNG-powered cruiseferry Honfleur for English Channel service, was today given a traditional ship launching ceremony at the FSG shipyard in Flensburg, Germany.
At midday, hundreds of well-wishers, invited guests, shipyard workers and Brittany Ferries team members lined the quaysides. From there the crowds saw the completed hull of the vessel slid down the historic building slipway and into the chilly waters of the Flensburg Fjord.
Since the keel was laid, 118 huge steel hull sections have been welded together on the slipway to create the 10,000 tonne six-storey behemoth before launching. The completed hull already contains all the ship’s main machinery including its efficient and environmentally-friendly LNG-electric propulsion system.
The launch marks Honfleur’s place in a long and historic line of ships to be constructed at the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft yard (FSG) situated on the tip of Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. Since its foundation in 1872 more than 750 ships have been designed and built at the site.
Honfleur will be an environmental pioneer on the English Channel. When it enters service it will be the first ship on the Channel to be powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG provides major environmental advantages, reducing carbon dioxide, and cutting sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and particulate emissions to almost zero. The ship’s hull has been hydro-dynamically optimised; this combined with gas-electric propulsion machinery will reduce energy consumption while improving onboard comfort and minimising vibration and noise levels.
The launch marks the beginning of the next phase of the ship’s construction. Over the coming weeks and months, two giant superstructure ‘mega blocks’ currently en route by barge from shipyards in Poland will be hoisted into position by giant cranes, and the ferry’s attractive and modern interiors will be installed. Then, the ship will complete a series of sea trials allowing every system on board to be rigorously tested, before the first passengers board the vessel on the Portsmouth to Caen/Ouistreham route in summer 2019. The route is Brittany Ferries’ most popular carrying around 1 million passengers, 300,000 cars and 100,000 freight units each year.
For more information and to follow the progress of the build from now until entry into service visit the Honfleur website.
#ferry - A fresh new look involving a splash of colour across the Brittany Ferries fleet sees a bright new logo in striking shades of blue, orange and green!
The new design, which comes with a more modern, warm and lyrical typeface, will be applied to each ship during refit, and will eventually be emblazoned on the side of every vessel’s hull and funnel.
The logo according to Brittany Ferries is the result of extensive customer research. The design more truly reflects the fullness of the ferry operator's experience: the richness of travel by sea, the warmth of the welcome ashore and on board, and the spirit of discovery for some of Western Europe’s most beautiful holiday destinations.
On the Irish services, Afloat adds is the Cork-Roscoff (seasonal) service that ended earlier this month (see Pont-Aven's Route du Rhum story) though the newly launched first ever direct Ireland-Spain route of Cork-Santander continues sailings on a year-round basis.
The new visual identity comes as part of a multi-million euro investment to make Brittany Ferries fit for the future. Three brand new ships are currently under construction and due to join the fleet in 2019 Honfleur, 2021 Galicia and 2022 Salamanca, see story. Afloat adds Honfleur, a LPG powered ferry under construction at the FSG yard in Germany, is to enter English Channel service between Portsmouth-(Oustreham) Caen.
The new design was first glimpsed by eagle-eyed ship spotters at the shipyards where Armorique and Pont-Aven are currently undergoing winter refits.
Afloat adds Pont-Aven is recieving such work as part of routine winter drydocking in Spain at the Astander Yard in Astilleo. The flagship having shifted on 11 November from nearby Santander where the direct continental Cork service as previously mentioned is maintained year round by the chartered-in ropax tonnage, Connemara.
The ships from the fleet will shortly return to service sporting the new look. The new logo will be unveiled further over the coming days. Then, and throughout 2019 it will be rolled out across all Brittany Ferries sites, marketing and operations including everything from signs, brochures, uniforms, to advertising and websites.
#FerryNews - Honfleur, Brittany Ferries newbuild cruiseferry celebrated a second milestone with a keel-laying ceremony this week. The occasion marked a leap forward in sustainable design, one that is at least as significant as the ship’s innovative liquefied natural gas (LNG) power deliver system.
Afloat highlights that the cruiseferry is to enter service in 2019 on the UK-France route: Portsmouth-Caen (Ouistreham). The Normandy port is situated close to the cruiseferry's namesake coastal city of Honfleur. At more than 42,000 gross tonnage, the new ship will become the largest in the fleet, surpassing current flagship Pont-Aven which operates Cork-Roscoff in addition UK-Spain services.
The keel-laying ceremony marked the point at which the first hull blocks are lowered onto a slipway. After they are joined, Honfleur’s blocks will form a complete a hull that promises to glide through the seas far more efficiently than ships of the past. Fuel consumption will be lower and ride quality will be better for passengers.
Heike and her team spent around three months creating a digital model of Honfleur’s hull, and testing it using computational fluid dynamic software.
This allowed them to visualise the size and angle of the bow wave and wake the ship will create: smaller waves mean less wasted energy. They also created animations of how Honfleur will perform in heavy seas as well as calculating exactly how much power Honfleur will need to sail at a given speed, ensuring she meets efficiency targets set by Brittany Ferries.
The shape of the hull – of which the keel is the very lowest beam running from bow to stern – has a huge impact on a ship’s manoeuvrability in port and its stability at sea. A good design reduces vibration that can sometimes be felt from the propeller which means Honfleur will be a more comfortable ship, as well as being better for the environment.
The moment at which the keel is laid is marked by an ancient traditional coin-laying ceremony. This week, coins were placed in Honfleur’s keel by representatives of Brittany Ferries and FSG as a token of good fortune.
The origins of this tradition can be traced back to Roman times, when coins were placed into the mouths of soldiers killed in war in order to pay Charon, the mythological ferryman, to carry them across the River Styx.
In the past keel laying took on greater significance. For wooden ships, this was often the first time a vessel took physical shape. Now this happens with the earlier steel-cutting ceremony, after which a shipyard spends several months building huge sections of hull which are then craned onto a slipway, then welded together.
But the moment that the first of those steel sections is laid onto the slipway (from which Honfleur’s finished hull will be launched into the Baltic this December) remains an important moment.

#FerryNews - Trying to help people is Britanny Ferries with those who booked with Irish Ferries WB Yeats, but may not be able to accommodate many because they are nearly full for July and August.
As the Irish Examiner writes, Brittany Ferries chief executive Christophe Mathieu said some people who had booked trips to France with Irish Ferries had rebooked with his company for the Cork-Roscoff route, but space is now nearly at a premium.
Around 19,000 people have had their summer sailings to France cancelled due to a delay in the delivery of a new ferry to Irish Ferries.
Mr Mathieu made the comments yesterday at a special reception in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, which marked 40 years since Brittany Ferries opened its Cork-Roscoff service.
“Brittany Ferries was only five years old when we launched services linking Roscoff and Cork back in 1978. In our first year of operations we carried just under 22,000 passengers on the MV Armorique,” said Mr Mathieu.
The newspaper had more here on the new Ireland-Spain service and the impact of Brexit.
In May 1978 Brittany Ferries launched their Cork-Roscoff ferry route from Cork City Quays with their flagship MV ‘Armorique’. At the time, all ferries departing Cork used the passenger terminal at Tivoli, before being transferred downriver to the dedicated Ringaskiddy Ferry Terminal which opened in 1982. Since then the passenger and freight route linking Ireland and France has gone from strength to strength and today the Port of Cork acknowledged this service by wishing Brittany Ferries a Happy 40th Anniversary linking the two countries.
Over the last 40 years Brittany Ferries have become the market leader on the Western Channel for passengers and freight and in 2018 this commitment was further endorsed when Brittany Ferries announced the first ever ferry service linking Ireland and Spain, with the new Ro-Pax twice-weekly service from Cork to Santander. As well as serving Cork to Santander, this route also delivers an additional weekly return-sailing from Cork to Roscoff.
The new Ro-Pax ferry service was welcomed by the Port of Cork which has brought an increase in Spanish tourism to Cork and provides a very useful connection for exporting freight from Ireland to mainland Europe. This new service, the first direct service from Ireland to Spain, will offer the option for freight carriers and passengers to bypass the UK and French land-bridge to Spain as Brexit uncertainty continues. The Port of Cork hinterland is the key primary pharma, agriculture and food & drink output region in the country. This more efficient supply chain will offer freight customers a direct route to market enabling them to get their produce to market quicker than if they travel through traditional ports.
In 2017, Brittany Ferries carried more than 87,000 passengers, which was an increase of 4% on the previous season and contributing to the national economy. While France continues to be a popular travel destination for Irish travellers, the number of French people visiting Ireland showed no signs of waning as nearly 45,000 availed of the route, representing 52% of all passengers carried.
#FerryNews - Brittany Ferries has confirmed recently the charter of two brand new cruise-ferries to serve its long-haul UK to Spain routes.
Both ships adds Afloat are of the Stena E-Flexer design (see Stena Line Irish Sea debut in 2020) that will be built at the Avic International Weihai shipyard in China, with the first arriving in time for Brittany Ferries on the 2021 holiday season.
The latest investment underlines the company’s commitment to Portsmouth and to its Spanish routes. It comes after work began this spring on a brand new LNG (liquefied natural gas) cruise ferry called Honfleur to serve its most popular Portsmouth – Caen crossing. Like Honfleur, which arrives in 2019, both ships announced today will be registered under the French flag and will be crewed by French seafarers.
There will be plenty for passengers on board. Three spacious passenger decks will host boutiques, a café, restaurant, bar and an exclusive club lounge. Around 300 en-suite cabins will cater for approximately 1,000 passengers and many will be adapted for customers with disabilities, as well as those travelling with their pet dog or cat (Brittany Ferries carries around 70,000 annually).
The announcement follows the launch of the first ever direct ferry service linking Ireland with Spain when Brittany Ferries’ Connemara made its first Cork-Santander sailing with an arrival to the northern Spainish port on 10 May 2018.
The year 2018 also marks 40 years of continuous services linking Britain with the Iberian Peninsula. Since 1978 more than 5.5 million passengers have enjoyed Spain without the ‘plane thanks to Brittany Ferries.

Turkey is suffering through its worst economic crisis for decades, and it is n the verge of an economic collapse.. This year, the lira has lost over 40% of its value, and only on one occasion since 1971 has Turkey had a weaker currency than today. Furthermore, political uncertainty and regional instability remain elevated, and the integration of the many refugees poses challenges.
Turkey’s economy is overheating with an inflation at a 15-year high and a current account deficit gaped at just over 7% of GDP. So when the meeting came and went and the central bank left its policy loose, investors balked. The rate of Turkish price growth has jumped from 17.9% to 24.52% on the year, while on the month an increase from 2.3% to 6.3% has been seen. The Turkish Central Bank (TCMB) hiked interest rates from 17.75% to 24% in mid-September, clearly with no immediate impact on prices.
Source: CBRT and Fund staff estimates.
Fitch Ratings expects banking sector profitability to weaken in 2019 due to higher funding costs following the increase in the policy rate, slower credit growth and higher impairment charges. Performance could deteriorate significantly in the case of a marked weakening of asset quality. Fitch has downgraded the Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (LTFC IDRs) of 20 Turkish banks and their subsidiaries, the rating agency announced on October 1. The outlooks were given as negative.
Fitch also downgraded the Viability Ratings (VRs) of 12 banks. The downgrades of the banks’ VRs reflected increased risks to their stand-alone credit profiles. In Fitch’s view, the banks’ performance, asset quality, capitalisation, liquidity, and funding profiles are now more likely to come under pressure as a result of the further depreciation of the Turkish lira, the spike in interest rates (driven by the increase in the policy rate to 24% from 17.75% on September 13) and the weaker growth outlook. Fitch revised its forecasts for GDP growth downwards to 3.8% in 2018 and 1.2% in 2019.
Growth rebounded sharply in 2017, helped by strong policy stimulus in the wake of the 2016 post-coup attempt slump and by favourable external conditions. However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) believes that, although expansionary policies were initially warranted, they are no longer appropriate. For IMF, monetary policy appears too loose and its credibility is low.
To prevent an economic collapse, comparable to what happened to Greece in 2016 and more recently in Venezuela , Turkey must introduce very painful fiscal and financial reforms. Still, for the Turkish Finance Minister, Berat Albayrak the impact of the currency devaluation is temporary. Last month, Albayrak, who is also Erdogan’s son-in-law, said Turkey had decided to work with U.S. firm McKinsey to help implement a new medium-term economic program. However, Erdogan said on Saturday he had ordered his ministers to stop receiving consulting services from McKinsey, after a government deal with it came under fire from the main opposition.
As Turkey seeks foreign investment amid its currency crisis, Ankara cut the amount of capital investment required for expatriates to obtain Turkish citizenship from $2 ,mln to only $500,000. Those with bank deposits or real estate worth this amount are also eligible for citizenship. Previously, non-Turks were required to have $3 mln in the bank or at least $1 mln worth of real estate. The new rule is likely to be especially welcomed by Syrian exiled in Turkey, given the limitations of the Syrian passport for travel. However, the impact of the Turkish currency’s fall hits Syrians in Turkey hard, along their families still in Syria.
Turkish students who are studying abroad are feeling the pain of the sharp depreciation of the Turkish lira against other currencies, doubling the cost of studying abroad.
For Turkey’s neighbours, the lira’s problems have had negative consequences as well, given the tight connections between them in trade and investments. Turkey has played a very important role in the South Caucasus in the past decade, especially Azerbaijan and Georgia. Prosperous trade with Turkey has made neighbouring countries hostages of Ankara’s problems. However, the crisis in Turkey has had little impact on Armenia.
