As of 2022, there exist about 118,012 heating and air conditioning contractors in the U.S. Research indicates these businesses will increase by 0.5% by the end of the year. Summer is almost over, and fall is around the corner. So, you must start preparing HVAC systems for the cold season ahead.
During the summer, your HVAC system goes through heavy usage. Therefore, you should ensure that your HVAC unit remains in good condition to keep you safe in future heavy storms.
Here, we provide seven tips on preparing HVAC systems for fall in Aurora, CO.
1. Have Your Outdoor HVAC Unit Tuned Up
Regular HVAC maintenance is vital to ensure your furnace provides service for an extended period. Ensure you arrange for a service to maintain your HVAC unit within the shortest time possible.
Performing a tune-up on your HVAC systems will increase the efficiency of your heat pump and the furnace for the winter season. This will ensure the inside of your house or office experiences great comfort.
Besides, repairing HVAC units reduces your chances of encountering significant equipment failures. You enjoy prolonged service life by having well-maintained outdoor HVAC units.
Maximizing your HVAC system performance gives you much more stable and reliable warmth in your home or office during the fall season. Tuning your HVAC systems will also help reduce your energy bills when the colder months come.
2. Clean Your AC Compressor Unit
First, switch off the power link to your AC compressor unit. You’ll find the power button below the metal lid adjacent to your outdoor HVAC unit.
Preparing the HVAC system will entail removing the twigs, leaves, and other debris on and close to your AC compressor unit. Failure to do so, the heavy debris could make your fan get stuck and clogged.
As a result, your HVAC systems will start experiencing critical mechanical issues. Ensure plants are at least four feet away from your AC compressor unit. Also, get rid of all invasive plants around.
Alternatively, hose off the exterior of your HVAC compressor unit while the system remains shut down. By doing so, you clean all the pollen, dust, and dirt away from your HVAC system.
Be sure to turn on your AC compressor unit after it completely dries. This will prevent getting any moisture sucked into your HVAC system.
You should also move any large outdoor items into your house. This action will prevent these heavy items from bumping into your AC compressor unit during stormy weather.
You should always turn the AC unit off during a lightning storm. It helps to prevent power surges from causing damage to your HVAC systems.
Otherwise, you might be forced to consider replacing HVAC systems.
3. Keep Your Indoor Vents Clean and Seal Ducts
One way to prepare HVAC systems for fall is by cleaning around the vents. You should also contact your HVAC Company for professional duct sealing services.
Most outdoor HVAC systems have air ducts that leak. So, air that’s supposed to heat and cool your home or office gets lost through these leakages leading to uneven treated air.
You can clean your indoor vents and seal ducts as a DIY project. Alternatively, contact your heat and air conditioning services provider for a professional and quality cleaning job.
4. Replace Your AC Air Filters
Most AC air filters have a limited service life. So, you should expect their efficiency to drop at some point in their service life.
Remember, worn-out filters will waste your energy by running at reduced efficiency. Replacing your AC air filters will maximize your AC performance and save you money.
Clogged and damp air filters provide favorable conditions for mold growth and spread throughout your home. This poses a health risk to your family.
Further, blocked air filters cause airflow obstructions. This makes your HVAC system operate much harder than it should when warming your home.
Ensure you check and clean your AC air filters at least once a month. Consider an air filter replacement in case the dirt is too much.
5. Monitor Your HVAC Systems
Sometimes, it’s possible to overlook strange sounds from your AC unit that may indicate an underlying problem. Be attentive to any noises from your HVAC unit, such as clanging, banging, and screeching.
You can also check that your outdoor HVAC unit produces foul smells and other warning signs. Contact your heating and cooling company to diagnose your HVAC system to prevent further damage.
6. Test Your Heating Before Fall
You want to ensure your HVAC system has an excellent performance to provide you with warmth during winter. You can turn up your HVAC thermostat to a maximum level that can engage your furnace.
You’ll know your HVAC unit works properly if the temperature rises and warms up your room a little bit fast. If that’s not the case, you’ll at least have enough time to seek HVAC repair services.
You can also adjust your thermostat settings. If it’s cooler outside, increase the temperature to match your desired comfort.
Programmable thermostats help monitor your HVAC systems using a mobile app or an interface screen in your house.
7. Remove Your Window AC units
When fall comes, it’s best to remove your window AC units to prepare your home for winter. Besides, you can clean and check your window AC units for any defects before using them again.
Removing your window AC units helps keep your HVAC systems safe from harmful exposure to harsh winter weather elements. After that, ensure you secure the seals around your windows.

Women’s Health USA Professional Services Company Finds the Right Microsoft Dynamics GP Software Partner to Handle Complex Project Requirements
Customer: Women’s Health USA
Location: Avon, CT
Former System: Lawson
Industry: Professional Services
Women’s Health USA is a large managed professional services organization that partners with doctors’ offices to provide back office services such as HR, billing, collections, and legal services.
Download: Professional Services Company Finds the Right Microsoft Dynamics GP Software Partner to Handle Complex Project Requirements – Women’s Health USA
“We love working with CAL Business Solutions, everyone is very responsive and friendly…I feel CAL has the skill level to handle a complicated organization like ours.”
Jennifer Decker, Controller, In Vitro Sciences
Women’s Health USA is a large managed services organization in Avon, Connecticut that partners with doctors’ offices to provide services such physical practice management, insurance and risk management, managed care contracting, revenue enhancement services, clinical support, clinical trials, and patient relations. Their success depends largely on the strength of their back-office software systems that support these services.
From Lawson ERP to Microsoft Dynamics GP
In 2005 Women’s Health decided to replace their outdated Lawson ERP system with Microsoft Dynamics GP. Although they experienced immediate increases in efficiency with the new system, they needed a Dynamics VAR that could handle the complexity of their business before they fully realized the benefits. Jennifer Decker, In Vitro Sciences Controller at Women’s Health USA, comments on the experience:
Analysis Shows Time Wasted By Outdated System: “We did an analysis of the number of journal entries we made every month to correct errors in the system and realized a large amount of time we were wasting. As soon as we finished closing the books for one month, it would be time to start again. The Lawson ERP system had not been updated in so long that it was not intuitive, not user-friendly, and not easy to manipulate. It was difficult to find and analyze information.”
Dynamics GP is a Huge Time Saver: “Now that we have switched to Dynamics GP, the difference is like night and day. It is so easy to get to our data. I love the SmartList feature. I regularly drill down from a query all the way back to an invoice. I can set up an analysis using an existing SmartList template, and export the data into my analysis file; then all the look-ups and updates are done automatically. These are just huge time savers. This gives us time to work on other projects that are important to the company.”
Dynamics GP is Intuitive and User-Friendly: “When we hire someone new, I don’t make Dynamics GP experience a pre-requisite because it’s so easy to learn; we can just train the right person. It’s intuitive and user-friendly.”
Finding the Right Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner
Each new Women’s Health project has a complex set of requirements. The ERP system manages 25 users and 18 separate companies with complex inter-company relationships, allocations, and cost sharing needs. The companies also have complicated contract and invoicing processes as well as several custom applications integrated into their ERP systems.
Women’s Health originally purchased Dynamics GP from a Dynamics VAR outside their local area. Jennifer Decker comments:
Fixed Price Underestimated Project Scope: “I believe the original VAR underestimated the scope and complexity of the work to be done, which resulted in cost and time overruns. This created a lot of tension and resulted in many delays to get problems fixed. Both sides were unhappy, and we decided it would be better to find a new Dynamics partner in our local area.”
Skill Level to Handle a Complicated Company: “We love working with CAL Business Solutions; everyone is very responsive and friendly. One of the things I appreciate most about working with the CAL team is that they know us personally; they know our abilities and experience, so they can tailor their answers based on our level of understanding. They really listen and read the information I send; they don’t waste my time by writing back to ask me a question I have already answered or suggest I try a basic fix, which I have certainly already tried. Of course, there are always going to be bumps when you do projects; that’s generally expected and we have complicated requirements. But I feel CAL has the skill level to handle a complicated organization like ours. We just love the people at CAL.”
Personal Attention at Events: “We have sent people from our company to Convergence (the annual Microsoft Dynamics user conference) and the local Connecticut CAL customers events for the past several years. The CAL team always gives us personal attention and valuable input at these events to help us choose the new features and add on products that would be best for our business.”
Smooth Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade
Women’s Health was pleased at how smooth the upgrade was from Dynamics GP Version 10.0 to Version 2010 with the help of CAL Business Solutions. Dana Northey, Accounting Manager at Women’s Health, discusses the experience:
Strong Project Management: “For the first time, we assigned a dedicated project manager on our team to work with the project manager at CAL Business Solutions. This really helped to keep our team on point and on schedule. Our CAL project manager was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about him. Strong project management was essential to the success of our upgrade.”
Focused Testing Period: “Together with CAL, we did extensive testing of our system prior to the upgrade including a complete test upgrade environment. We arranged for our team to make testing a priority, so it could be done quickly and in an organized way. This allowed us to identify and fix issues without losing focus. In the past, testing was done over an extended period of time, which was inefficient. This time, we were able to go live immediately after the testing period.”
CAL Developers Fixed Custom Code: “We have several third party/ISV products and custom applications. CAL helped us to thoroughly test each of these to confirm that they would function properly after the upgrade. In one instance, a program had a code that was not compatible with GP 2010. Because CAL has its own development team on staff, it was able to fix the custom code for us without having to involve another programming company.”
Women’s Health now has an up-to-date Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP system that is intuitive and easy to use, resulting in substantial time savings each month. After looking for the right partner to support their system for long term growth, Women’s Health feels that CAL Business Solutions has the resources and experience needed to work with large clients with complex requirements.
“Because CAL has its own development team on staff, it was able to fix the custom code for us without having to involve another programming company.”
Dana Northey, Accounting Manager, Women’s Health USA

Though not totally unheard of, we're expecting a brown Christmas in my neck of the North this year. The dusting of white we woke up to here in the higher elevations will likely be gone before noon, and if not, then tomorrow's rain will surely wash it away. Saturday's forecast calls for a few more flakes - timely, since that is when we'll be cutting our Christmas tree - but for next week, temps in the 40's and 50's are predicted. Santa will be mud-bogging this year.
We Northerners have a love hate relationship with snow. We're fond of our white Christmases, skiing and sleigh rides. We curse the treacherous road conditions, bulky layers and lack of vitamin D. But I have to say, this year I am less ambivalent. Climate change aside, I'm good with having no snow. Maybe it's my age, but if it felt like November all winter, I'd be good with that. The last time we saw a weather pattern like this was the year we got the kids their own snowshoes - figures! That year, we were well into January before we got any snow to speak of, and if I remember right, the remainder of the winter was fairly mild. I was ecstastic. When you would do just about anything to avoid months of boots and heavy parkas, you welcome El Niño with open arms!
Most of my children are old enough now to bundle themselves up for the outdoors, but since they rarely do, I'm appreciative of El Niño temps. Would that the rest of the world would treat them so gently, but it is a stormy time we live in. I've sheltered them for so many years against the harshness of realities I'd rather they didn't have to face. That is becoming increasingly difficult. There are tempests they must now learn to weather.
Here at the beginning of this Year of Mercy as declared by Pope Francis, my hope for this snow-less Christmas is that they will look to the namesake of El Niño, who is also gentle with us. He came on the very first Christmas, and it wasn't white then either.

Preparing for the USMLE Step 2 is a daunting task. There are so many questions in so many categories, it can be hard to know where to even start. Each scenario is different from the next, and since you can’t guess which questions you’ll be asked, it can be nerve-wracking to say the least. Here are some examples of particularly difficult USMLE Step 2 questions to study alone or with a group.
Which Screening Would You Recommend?
In this scenario, a man who is 48 years old visits his doctor for a routine checkup. He appears healthy and has no complaints. He weighs 203 pounds, is 5’ 8” tall, and has a BMI of 29. His blood pressure is 145/82, and his pulse is 92bpm. Upon questioning, the patient reports he does not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or use any drugs, and he has had no chest pains, palpitations, or shortness of breath. The physician cannot find any abnormalities in this man’s exam, and his medical history is unremarkable. Blood tests reveal normal serum electrolytes, normal blood count, and normal cholesterol. Which screening test would you recommend for this patient?
Why Does This Patient Have Diarrhea and Fatigue?
In another case, a 54-year-old man comes to the emergency room claiming he has had diarrhea for two months. He says he is a lawyer, and he also notes fatigue, weight loss, and shortness of breath. He says he has lost 10 pounds over the last few months, and the symptoms are worsening progressively. He doesn’t smoke or drink, and he does not take any medications. His medical history reveals no related conditions or episodes. During the exam, his blood pressure is 115/75 and his pulse is 108bpm. The physician notes the patient’s skin is pale, and upon a neuro exam, it is revealed that he has a positive Babinski sign, spasticity, and a loss of vibration sense. Lab results are as follows:
- Hematocrit – 26%
- WBC – 3700/mm3
- Platelets – 110,000 mm3
- MCV – 116 um3
- Reticulocytes – 0.5%
- Serum lactate dehydrogenase – 650 U/L
- Serum total bilirubin – 2mg/dL
What is this patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Why Is This Patient Losing Weight and In Pain?
Finally, in this scenario, an HIV-positive woman who is 45 years old comes to her doctor because she has been losing weight for a month, is experiencing pain when she swallows, and has substernal chest pain. She reports she is taking no medications. Her temperature is roughly 100 degrees, and her T-cell count is 41/mm3. An upper endoscopy is performed, and it reveals a large and deep ulcer in the distal esophagus as well as significant inflammation. A biopsy shows inflammation and small blood vessel endothelial cells along with large and smudged eosinophilic nuclei. Why is this patient experiencing pain and weight loss?
These are some of the toughest questions asked on the USMLE Step 2, and they provide a good indication of other questions you may encounter. The ability to accurately recommend treatments and diagnose these conditions will serve you well when it is time to sit for the real exam.

WWE also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952 as Capitol Wrestling Corporation Ltd. As of 2016, it is the largest wrestling promotion in the world, holding over 500 events a year (with the roster divided up into various globally traveling brands), and broadcasting to about 36 million viewers in more than 150 countries. The company's global headquarters is located in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in major cities across the world. As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate contests, but purely entertainment-based, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and choreographed matches, though they often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury if not performed correctly. This was first publicly acknowledged by WWE's owner Vince McMahon in 1989 to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. Since the 1980s, WWE publicly has branded their product as sports entertainment, acknowledging the product's roots in competitive sport and dramatic theater.

Integrating work and life as women in tech
Part 5 of 5 in a series on leadership, community investment & decisive career growth from Capital One’s Women in Tech
February 23, 2022 11 min read
According to a recent LinkedIn survey, we are starting to see gender parity across many of the top 15 rising job categories. However, some of the hottest new tech roles are not on that list. How we, as women in tech, lead over the next few years will be crucial in bridging the gender gap in these technology fields. To help answer how we can make these changes on both a personal and industry level, I’ve talked to some of my colleagues at Capital One, to create a five-blog series on how to lead as women in tech.
Why integrate work and personal life as women in tech?
In its traditional use, the term “work life balance” compartmentalized work and life, setting them up in opposition to one another. Over the last year, due to COVID-19, there has been a paradigm shift in how we work. Many companies went virtual during the pandemic, with many of us still working from home a year and a half later. For many of us, all lines have blurred between work and personal life. There are no compartments.
The term “work life integration” is about bringing together the synergies between work and life. With this approach, you may find yourself better able to consider all the aspects of your life–work & career, home & family, personal well-being & health, and giving back & connecting with the community–without having to fall back on compartmentalization.
How to integrate work and personal life as women in tech
1. Practice mindfulness for personal and professional success
To have a successful career in tech you don’t need to give up on your family time or hobbies. You don’t need to work 80 hours a week or be under constant stress from an unreasonable workload. Being present in the moment, focusing on one task at a time, and ‘slowing down to speed up things’ are all great ways to enjoy the work you are doing. Taking breaks that fit your schedule and recharging as needed are an important aspect of maintaining a sustainable pace. Here are some tips on how to be more mindful at work that I have found useful in my tech career.
A few years ago I was part of a leadership program where we learnt about better integrating work and personal life by putting together all our personal and professional goals in one place. As part of the exercise, I worked through a quiz to check what I had versus what I wanted. At the end of the quiz, I was able to score my success level (meeting my career goals) and my sanity level (able to enjoy my life) on a scale of 1 to 10.
This was intended to highlight where I was meeting my goals, where I was exceeding them, and where I was falling short. Personally, this helped me appreciate the areas I was doing well in and helped me focus on tangible goals I could go after in areas where I was not. And having both personal and professional goals in one place helped relieve the pressure of walking a tightrope between the two. Once I started to view everything in terms of “success and sanity” for my holistic life I found myself enjoying what I was doing, even when it meant juggling different things occasionally.
2. Stop glamorizing overworking
Growing up, we all have heard at least once that hard work always pays off. As we start our career journeys and set out with great aspirations it’s easy to forget that sometimes working hard gets to a point where we are working too hard. Burnout, exhaustion, and lack of resilience tend to kick in when we end up working too hard. The irony is we may not even know we are overworking!
If you are a self-described “workaholic” like me, you might pride yourself in overachieving even outside of work. Maybe you strive to overachieve not only in your career, but around planning events or trips, cooking, hobbies, sports, caretaking etc. At one stage in my career I had gotten completely burnt out at work but didn’t realize it until long after. Since then, I have tried to disconnect from work over the weekend, evenings, and scheduled vacation times to help me recharge and prevent more burnout. The pandemic has certainly made it harder to disconnect, but nevertheless I try to set limits and focus on completing things in flight before picking up new efforts.
If you are trying to break the overwork cycle too, there’s help! Create a list of your personal and professional goals. Instead of trying to do it all, cross out things that can’t happen if you plan to take on newer responsibilities or learning commitments. Prioritize ruthlessly, weigh trade offs, and delegate as needed. This can give you a greater chance of avoiding burnout and enjoying what you are actually doing or planning to take on.
Don't overcommit. As an amazing leader once said to me. "If it isn't a Hell Yes, it's a Hell No!" Try to channel that opportunity to someone you know who could learn or grow from the chance to take it on.
Also as a leader, it is especially detrimental to overwork yourself as it sets the wrong example for the rest of the team. Knowingly or unknowingly, rewarding overworking behaviors often puts women in tech at a disadvantage, although it also impacts a much broader category of associates. A fear that unrealistic working hours are necessary to be successful in their careers, requiring disruptions to their personal or family time and overwork, may have a big psychological impact and derail career ambitions.
3. Prioritize your well being
I’m fortunate to be part of a team that encourages practising mindfulness, participating in fun events, and limiting after hours work related emails and messages. We meet regularly as a leadership team to support each other and find areas for improvement based on the feedback from our teams. I’ve learned a lot from our collaborations on how to prioritize our well being.
Prioritizing your physical and mental well being is the best gift you can give yourself. Because if you don’t, no one else will prioritize it for you. And the benefits of course, are multifold like staying healthy, having sharper focus, reducing stress, etc. Here are simple ways to prioritize your well being at work that I have found helpful in my tech career.
However, there may still be times when it feels like everything else takes priority above taking care of yourself. In such situations, a helpful question to help prioritize or deprioritize your task list is, “What’s the worst that could happen if I don’t do this now?” As long as the answer doesn’t include lethal or legal implications, it’s safe to assume your fears may be exaggerated and not as close to reality as they seem.
Put away things that can wait. For example, If I’m up against a soft deadline for creating a high level design for a new feature, but am not in a state to do the best I can, I would rather request an extension to the deadline and get to it when I’m in a better state to take it on. For example, I had originally intended to write this blog post six months ago but finally got to it now. There are things that come up and change the course of our original plans. It’s ok to roll with them and not try unrealistic means to hit artificial time commitments.
Take time to recharge in a way that suits you the best. Find a buddy who can keep you honest if you go off course. And as with everything else, know that the unexpected always happens. If you get called in for a production issue and spend a few hours during an evening or the weekend, make sure you carve out an alternate time to catch up on the things you missed out on in your personal time.
While I always focused on career growth, it was as/more important to me to have a quality personal life. I make it a priority to be as present as possible with my family and friends, even if I may need to put in more work later. I insist on planning time to focus on myself, too: reading, traveling, pampering, exercising, or just doing nothing.
4. Assemble a support network outside of work
In one of my previous blog posts, I mentioned the importance of having a professional network, including mentors, to help you advance in your career. In a similar vein I’d like to add that it’s also important to maintain a sustainable support network outside work to help you be successful in your personal life. A support system outside of your job that may include your spouse or partner, kids, friends, family members, or neighbors who you can reach out for help. Knowing that you are not alone, that you’re helping others & accepting help from others is a comfort in itself. Figure out what works for you and what doesn’t, and improvise with your support network team.
If you are like me and categorize everything as important, maybe try identifying one thing that you are unable to do or don’t like to do - it could be anything like baking, cleaning, getting groceries, etc. For me it was cleaning. I was obsessed with cleaning my home all by myself. But when I started to fall behind on this, I thought about it more intentionally. If cleaning my house took me three hours every week and took me away from the time I could invest in myself, I’m probably doing a disservice to myself by not hiring professional cleaners to get that job done. This became an important part of my support network.
Sometimes when your personal chores seem to be never ending and the help you are getting from others is constrained to some extent, try timeboxing. Timeboxing is an important aspect of effective time management and helps maximize productivity in everyday scenarios. Here’s a guide to timeboxing that will help you break from the perfectionism trap and not work on something until it’s completely done. Personally I choose a 10, 15 or 30 min ride during the lunch hour based on the time I have that day. Usually I listen to leadership or technical courses while I exercise, and it’s essentially timeboxed to the length of the ride I choose for a given day.
My husband and I share household chores and kid duties. I make sure to take time for my own hobbies, exercising and social life.
5. Enjoy your role in Tech
Know that you are in tech because you are good at it and let that bring joy! Regardless of everything that has gone well or not in your career, find ways to stay true to your core interests in technology. Try to remember what got you interested in the field in the first place and work to keep that spirit alive.
Make sure to celebrate small wins rather than waiting for bigger milestones. A little appreciation goes a long way. Take the time to reward yourself and others. I take time on Fridays to look back at the week and write appreciation notes to my teams and colleagues recognizing the great work that they’ve been doing.
There are little things about what we do at work that creep into our daily lives. I noticed that whenever my kids like a new recipe, I say it’s “going into a for loop.” This was something I had picked up from a friend and thought it was a pretty interesting usage of conditionals in regular conversations. While it may seem ridiculous to my kids, I’ve enjoyed adding a dash of tech humor at the dinner table.
Being in tech for 17 years, I’ve often been the only woman on the team. It isn’t easy and does require a lot of persistence. I’ve made my peace knowing that this is what I’m good at and enjoy doing. Leaving tech wasn’t an option as it would leave behind a nagging feeling that I could’ve made the situation better but didn’t. I now take into account all my experiences and guard my team from gender biases.
I want to thank Michele, Robyn, Vannia and Mariya for their help with this article. This is the last article in this 5-part blog series.
Afterword to this series
If you’ve been following through all the articles in this series, or even just the ones that are most relevant to you, I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude and share some of the context behind my “why.”
In a recent conversation with my Career Coach, whom I’ve worked with over the past four years, she mentioned that despite her expertise, there were parts of the women in tech experience that still puzzled her. Over the years, she had seen numerous junior engineers leave the field just a few years into their careers, often citing everyday challenges and the perception that the field was unwelcoming. She asked if I, as a senior manager and woman in tech, had any advice for fellow women technologists who were struggling in the field.
That got me thinking on many levels about the experience of being a woman in tech. I find myself identifying with some aspects of what these junior engineers were encountering. Yes, there is something unique about the experience of being women in tech. Building software requires creativity, a great troubleshooting muscle, empathy to better understand the end user, and is definitely a team sport.
This is probably what brings many aspiring women to this field in the first place, despite the challenges. Challenges are part of what excites engineers. Addressing these particular challenges may seem daunting, especially if you’re feeling a lack of camaraderie or support on your team. I understand that. Nevertheless, we can’t improve this field for the next group of women engineers if we don’t fight for the future we believe in and want to see.
Addressing this situation requires women to be comfortable having an open dialogue while partnering with men as allies for long lasting career impact. I’m hoping this “how to” guide, based on my own experiences and those from a group of Capital One’s women technologists, will help you overcome challenges you may be facing in your own career.
Sincere thanks to Christi Shadbolt, my Career Coach for inspiring this blog series and Kasey Smith, our technical Content Strategist for helping me pull this together.

Lance White and the Pitt women’s basketball team landed a commitment from New Mexico transfer Jayla Everett on Thursday night, adding a talented offensive threat as well as a fiery competitor to a promising young roster.
The 5’10” guard was a top-100 recruit in the 2018 class, according to espnW, which placed her at 94th overall. At New Mexico, she lived up to the hype in her freshman season, earning Mountain West Freshman of the Year honors in 2019, after scoring 13.3 points per game and shooting 33.7 percent from three-point range.
The St. Louis native followed up her solid freshman season by averaging 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists as a sophomore. However, she was one of three Lobos players to leave the team midseason, and her decision followed an “extended argument” with New Mexico head coach Mike Bradbury during a team practice, according to Ken Sickenger of the Albuquerque Journal.
At Pitt, Everett joins a team that could quickly find itself on the rise, considering the caliber of talent White has landed. Everett will be one of two top-100 prospects from the 2018 class on the Pitt roster, as Jahsyni Knight was ranked 96th in the class by espnW. The team also features former JUCO All-American Gabbie Green, offensive luminary Dayshanette Harris, and frontcourt standouts Rita Igbokwe and Marcella Lamark. Pitt will gain another top-100 recruit in Tracey Hueston in 2020.
One issue the new-look Panthers will have to overcome is the loss of longtime leader Aysia Bugg. Bugg finished her career as one of Pitt’s top scorers, and she will be joined on her way out by Kyla Nelson. Nelson was a 40.4 percent three-point shooter in the 2018-19 season, and she entered the transfer portal on Thursday.

If you're looking for a particular company or job field, you could do some research at Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/index.htm
Its different for different professions as a dentist i would se close to $70000/ yr
Good luck in your research.
You know, salaries can really differ depending on where you're located - it could vary by state, county, or even country. Let me share my own experience with you. I spent a good chunk of my life living on the east coast, working as a research tech for a maximum salary of $36,000. Then, my boss at the time asked me to relocate to Cincinnati with him, and guess what? My salary jumped to $63,000!
I wasn't aware at the time, but there was a trend of people in Cincinnati leaving research jobs to move into the industry sector, which generally pays more. They were stepping away from academic research. The research director at my Cincinnati workplace believed this was mainly due to the salary difference. So, the company decided to significantly boost their salaries in an attempt to keep their staff. But interestingly, people were still leaving. It turned out it wasn't just about the money, but also the way they were treated by some of their bosses. This is something that can happen anywhere, isn't it?
Now, while my salary increased with the move, my wife, who is a nurse, experienced a decrease in her pay. So, it really shows that your pay can be influenced by a number of factors - who you're working for, where you're living, and even what degrees you hold, whether in business, science, arts, and so on.
Luckily, I found a great person to work for, and things are going well for me. I'm doing the work I love, and my boss treats me well and values my contributions. So, remember, finding the right employer can make a world of difference.

Mango Beach Inn in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia has always been one of our biggest supporters!! The Verity family has been such a blessing and I am sad to say I just moved out from the beautiful bed and breakfast yesterday after having stayed there the past two weeks. I cannot thank John and Judith enough for all their hospitality! But I can recommend that you stay there when you come to visit me in St. Lucia!
(and if you have a place to stay already, then I’m going to go ahead and recommend that you come to Marigot and eat at the Rainforest Hideaway!)

CAS Completes Survey of Volunteers: Key Findings
The CAS conducted its first annual Volunteer Feedback Survey during National Volunteer Week in April 2022. The survey was developed in partnership by volunteers and staff on the Volunteer Resources Task Force (VRTF). The goal was to gather input from volunteers across the organization related to their experiences volunteering with the Casualty Actuarial Society, to determine strengths of the volunteer program and opportunities for improvement.
The Volunteer Feedback Survey was completed by 515 current or recent volunteers spanning across all categories of membership and representing all volunteer areas. The results are generally positive throughout the quantitative survey results.
- Satisfaction with Volunteering with the CAS
- 81% Satisfied or Very Satisfied
- <3% Unsatisfied or Very Unsatisfied.
- Satisfaction with Variety of CAS Volunteer Opportunities
- 85% Satisfied or Very Satisfied
- <2% Unsatisfied or Very Unsatisfied
- Feel Welcomed and Appreciated as a Volunteer by the CAS
- 86% Agree or Strongly Agree
- <4% Disagree or Strongly Disagree
- Have Opportunities to Learn and Grow as a CAS Volunteer in the Last Year
- 62% Agree or Strongly Agree
- 6% Disagree or Strongly Disagree
The VRTF developed a report for the CAS Board of Directors meeting on August 28, 2022, to share the survey results and provide key themes and recommendations from the comments.
There were numerous positive comments related to the benefits of volunteering with the CAS, from expanding your network, to personal and professional growth opportunities, to how rewarding it is to give back to the profession.
Other themes focused on recommendations including: expanding micro-volunteer opportunities, improving communications about volunteering, more clearly outlining volunteer expectations, offering onboarding and training for all new volunteers, and enhancing support for exam writers, graders, and syllabus work.
With 1/3 of CAS members serving as volunteers, the VRTF is committed to ensuring they feel heard and valued, and will be following up on the enhancements recommended in the survey. The new annual feedback mechanism will help the CAS improve the volunteer experience for current and future volunteers on an ongoing basis.

Tomb Raider is a big part of the massive success of its maker, Microgaming, over the past several years. In many ways, it’s a sort of software landmark from the dawn of our current era of various movie-inspired titles. If you want to break into some big-budget, hyper-slots action, then this is good place to start. Casino.com Mobile might interest you as well!
We are all familiar with these hyped-up games, right? As a result of major films like Iron Man or the Hulk, or any number of newer files that Microgaming’s competitors (like Playtech) have been been licensing for their own slots, Tomb Raider has passed out of ‘newness’.
Yet, Lara Croft and her entombed adventures, in and out of burial chambers she’s plundered, has become a staple title in Microgaming’s portfolio. Raider is a classic, at this point!
One of the best places to play Tomb Raider is a casino with many choices in game brands, not just Microgaming. Very few casinos do this. Guts.com is one, so it’s in the handful of these premium casinos. That is why we want to bring it to your attention.
When you can play Tomb Raider alongside slots from other studios, like Playtech’s Iron Man 2, you get the full cinematic slots experience, in our opinion.
But Tomb Raider is the originator of many slot features. We’re not saying others copied it — but these things are general enough that others would have had to answer them, to stay up to date.
For example, unusual reel behaviours, in which the symbols may explode or drop away, to reveal newly-dropped symbols or the start of bonus round. Needless to say, Tomb Raider is a no-holds-barred, over-the-top, sensory-overload experience — and this kind of bold game play has been copied.
The Guts to Play
The enticement to join Guts.com are very good, to boot. Its welcome bonus includes up to £300 in matching cash, plus 100 free spins on Starburst (a slot by Net|Ent). This gift of free spins was recently doubled for new members.
There are ongoing benefits here that will keep you flush, too.
- Mondays, you can get a 50% kick-back up to £20 for your weekday thrills.
- On Fridays, you will collect at least 10 free spins on the slot of the week (as long as you deposit and wager £20 or more during the preceding Thursdays).
With a casino like Guts, and with a slot like Tomb Raider (as well as many other brands of games to try), we think you will feel you are witnessing the very highest performance available today. Play, and confirm this for yourself.
Tomb Raider is a 5-reel slot with 25 paylines, and if you win (at the maximum bet of 75.00) then you’ll rake in 10,000 coins. Regardless, you’ll also be playing a part of online and mobile slots history!

It’s exactly how pictured! Very good chips!
like the pearl pack as do the players using them. They are unique in their design.
Cute set to add something different to a home game. The chips are very light, are numbered on one side, but stack well.
Very happy with my purchase.

Western Albemarle High School Senior Kess Hutchinson loved his CATEC EMT course so much that he is taking the rare opportunity to return to CATEC for the 2020-2021 school year as an Emergency Medical Technician III student. EMT Instructor Cat Gardner says of Hutchinson, “he has an impressive work ethic and leadership ability that led me to ask him to return for the EMT III program, where he will earn all of his continuing education credits to maintain his EMT certification and will be an Assistant Instructor for the current EMT class.”
Hutchinson hopes he can tutor students on concepts and skills. He says of his willingness to help, “Since I went through the class last year, I understand what concepts the students will most likely struggle with. I hope to be able to communicate with Mrs. Gardner on what skills and concepts need more time to be practiced.” He says, “There is a lot of material to cover in the class, with all of it being absolutely necessary to understand. It can be very hard and overwhelming. I want to show this year’s students how to properly study the material and share ways I was able to learn the complex topics.”
The 18-year-old says that he became interested in taking the EMT class, a CATEC class that is offered on Western Albemarle High School’s campus, through another Western Albemarle teacher. When his friend hurt her arm, he wanted to help but wasn’t sure how. He asked the teacher for his advice on what the friend should do. The teacher suggested that if Hutchinson was interested in helping people who are injured, he should look into taking the EMT class the following school year. He liked the class immediately, saying, “I enjoyed just about everything the class had to offer. I thought the material was unbelievably interesting and it was all I cared to learn about in school.”
He loved the hands-on experiences the class provided. He says, “when doing scenarios, we were given access to all the equipment we might need and we were in charge. Being able to be in control of the situation and understanding that I would ultimately decide the outcome of the situation was a very cool thing for me. It allowed me to understand how important my role as an EMT is and it made me want to be as good as I could be.” Gardner says, “He always took the initiative to start getting equipment out as soon as it was lab time, and mastered his skills well enough and fast enough to be able to assist his classmates in mastering them as well. He was a key player in the class developing into a team, where every student was invested in each other’s success as much as their own.”
Hutchinson also loved going on his 30-hour required clinical rotations at the University of Virginia University Hospital Emergency Department and local ambulance squads. He says, “Clinicals allowed me and the other EMT students to experience what it was actually like to treat real patients. Throughout the whole process the staff explained everything that they are doing, in great detail, so you understand what is going on. It was an amazing experience and it showed me that I want to work in the field, treating patients.” Gardner says that it was this interest in the field that impressed her. She says, “Kess entered the EMT class with enthusiasm and drive, and neither of those wavered throughout the program.” Additionally, CATEC’s EMT program allowed Hutchison to earn 12 college credits through Piedmont Virginia Community College. He is certified in American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (CPR/First Aid).
He also participated in CATEC’s spring SkillsUSA District competition, finishing in the top three. He says of the experience, “Being able to actually test our skills before the National Registry Exam was useful. It was the first time that we were tested on our skills and have it count for something more than a class grade. It was our first time doing our skills under pressure. It allowed me and everyone who participated to see what we really needed to work on.”
After graduation, Hutchinson wants to become a certified paramedic. He wants additional training so he can perform more advanced life-saving techniques and be able to administer additional medication. He plans to either attend Piedmont Virginia Community College next year, taking with him his dual-enrollment credits, or join a local fire department, which would allow him to take paramedic courses through the department. The Eagle Scout says, “I want the career that I choose to be something I can do that will help the most people and give back as much as I can.”

A Simple Definition of SEO:
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the practice of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). The higher your website ranks, the more traffic you'll receive, which can translate to more leads and sales for your business.
To achieve higher rankings, there are two main areas to focus on: on-page SEO and off-page SEO. On-page SEO refers to the factors that you can control on your website, such as the content, title tags, and meta descriptions. Off-page SEO, on the other hand, refers to factors that are outside of your website's control, such as backlinks and social signals.
So, what are the current search engine rank factors for SEO best practices? Here are some of the most important factors to consider:
On-Page SEO Best Practices:
- Content: Content is king when it comes to SEO. The quality and relevance of your content are crucial to achieving higher rankings. Make sure your content is engaging, informative, and optimized for your target keywords. The content should also be unique and valuable to your readers.
- Title tags and meta descriptions: Title tags and meta descriptions are important on-page SEO factors that help search engines understand what your page is about. Make sure your title tags and meta descriptions accurately reflect the content on your page and include your target keywords.
- User experience: User experience is becoming an increasingly important factor in SEO. Google is placing more emphasis on factors such as page speed, mobile responsiveness, and ease of navigation. Make sure your website is easy to use and provides a positive user experience.
Off-Page SEO Best Practices:
- Backlinks: Backlinks are links from other websites that point to your website. They are one of the most important off-page SEO factors and can greatly impact your website's rankings. Make sure you have high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in your industry.
- Social signals: Social signals, such as likes, shares, and comments, can also impact your website's rankings. They are an indication of your website's popularity and relevance. Make sure you have an active social media presence and encourage engagement from your followers.
- Local SEO: Local SEO is important if you have a brick-and-mortar business. Make sure your website is optimized for local keywords and that you have a Google My Business listing. This will help you rank higher in local search results and attract more customers to your business.
So, what are the three most valuable things that an SEO can do to boost performance in SEO? Here they are:
- Focus on quality content: As mentioned earlier, content is king when it comes to SEO. Make sure you have high-quality, unique content that is optimized for your target keywords. This will help you rank higher in search results and attract more traffic to your website.
- Build high-quality backlinks: Backlinks are a crucial off-page SEO factor. Make sure you have high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in your industry. This will help you establish your website's authority and credibility and improve your rankings.
- Monitor your website's performance: Monitoring your website's performance is important to identify areas for improvement. Use tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your website's traffic, rankings, and other important metrics. This will help you identify areas for improvement and make necessary changes to improve your website's performance.
In conclusion, SEO is a complex and ever-changing field. To achieve higher rankings in search engine results pages, it's important to focus on both on-page and off-page rank factors. Taking a holistic approach to improving organic performance always yields the best results.
Lastly, remember, SEO is a marathon, not a sprint.

Tiger Woods turned 40 years old on Dec. 30, a birthday that causes anxiety for a lot of people.
Take it from the great Jack Nicklaus that your life, in fact, is actually just getting started at 40 years old.
Nicklaus sent a birthday tweet to Woods with some encouragement and a great bit of life advice:
Here’s the full text in the link included in Jack’s tweet:
“Happy Birthday @tigerwoods! Just remember that 40 is the new 30. I had one of the greatest years of my life when I turned 40, and so I not only send you best wishes for a Happy Birthday but hope for a terrific year. You have heard me say it before that I know you have a lot of great golf left to play and success to enjoy, and I hope it all begins this year for you. Lastly, I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year.”
Tiger may or may not have a shot to win four more majors and tie Jack for the most all time at 18, but count The Golden Bear among those who hope he’s still gunning for it.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — From livestock to produce. North Carolina’s farming revenue is among the largest in the nation. But prices of fuel and fertilizer have hit growers and farmers hard. The shortage of workers has added to that stress.
CBS 17’s Russ Bowen sat down with Representative Wiley Nickel (D) after he spent the last few weeks in his district listening to people affected by those challenges. Inflation is one problem, but Nickel said the border and immigration is also a part of that.

SACRAMENTO (CBSLA/AP) – Milk or water will be the default drink sold with kids' meals in California.
A law signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown doesn't ban restaurants or fast-food chains from selling soda or juice with children's meals. But it says only milk; a non-dairy milk alternative; or sparkling, still or flavored water can be handed out as default and advertised on the menu.
Establishments that violate the law would receive a notice for the first offense and fined for repeat offenses.
Democratic Sen. Bill Monning says his bill aims to combat diabetes, obesity and other health problems in the state.
From 1990 to 2016, the obesity rate in California increased by 250 percent, Monning said in February when he introduced the bill. He added obese children are at least twice as likely as non-obese kids to become obese adults.
Republican lawmakers who opposed the bill say it represents government overreach.
The law will take effect Jan. 1.

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper is continuing to work his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last November. As the team ponders his welcome return to the lineup, a new possible role has emerged for Harper.
As Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports, Harper approached the team about playing first base at some point after his return to the active roster, and the club liked the idea enough to proceed with it. Gelb writes:
"This week, the Phillies initiated the plan. They are preparing Harper to play first base later this season. This does not affect his timetable to return to the Phillies' lineup — he will still return as the designated hitter because he will be cleared to hit in games before he is cleared to throw. But if Harper takes to the new position, the Phillies think it could allow him to return to the field sooner than if he played right field."
The Phillies have a need at the position because incumbent Rhys Hoskins suffered a major knee injury in spring training that . As the Phillies and Harper realize, first base would presumably tax his surgically repaired throwing arm less than right field would.
Not long after Hoskins' injury,. Harper has two career appearances at first base, and while the position has its demands and skill requirements, it's not a premium position, and plenty of players have made a successful transition to first from elsewhere on the diamond.
As for Harper's return, the Phillies opted not to place him on the 60-day injured list to start the season, and that raised hopes that he might make his way back to Philly before the end of May. As noted above, he'll be a DH at first, but Harper's potent bat will be a boon to a Phillies offense that's struggled to put runs on the board thus far in 2023. Harper's journey back to the active roster may begin soon, as manager Rob Thomson recently told WIP that all he needs is clearance to slide before he's ready for a minor-league rehab assignment. At that point, the countdown begins -- a countdown toward the return of their best hitter and, perhaps, their new first baseman.

Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as the Lord, Savior, and Supreme Treasure of our lives, and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
We will work together for the continuance of a faithful evangelical ministry in this church, as we sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines.
We will contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.
We will work to maintain family and personal devotions and to educate our children in the Christian faith.
We will seek the salvation of our family and acquaintances.
We will seek, by Divine aid, to live carefully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, and remembering that, as we have been voluntarily buried by baptism and raised again from the symbolic grave, so there is on us a special obligation now to lead a new and holy life.
We will walk together in brotherly love, remembering one another in prayer.
We will exercise an affectionate care and watchfulness over each other and faithfully admonish and entreat one another as occasion may require.
We will work to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech.
We will work to be slow to take offense, always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.
We will, when we leave the church, unite with a like-minded church as soon as possible, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

The Real Housewives of New York have returned to Bravo with a bang for season 6 and tonight’s new episode is called “Win, Place or Sonja”. In tonight’s episode, Aviva’s father delivers shocking news to his 25-year-old girlfriend, and LuAnn hosts a weekend getaway of horse racing and partying, leading to rising drama when Sonja celebrates a little too much.
On last week’s episode back in New York City, Aviva’s controversial father, George, returned, and this time, he had a surprise in the form of a new lady friend. Everyone gathered to bid Sonja’s dog adieu in a memorial like no other. Did you watch last week’s episode? If you missed it we have a full and detailed recap, right here for you.
On tonight’s episode Sonja’s gossipy facia list spills secrets about the women to Kristen, who shares what she heard with Carole and LuAnn, who angrily refute the stories. LuAnn hosts a charity luncheon where Aviva sends around a naughty text that royally ruffles the Countess’s feathers.
Tonight’s new episode of The Real Housewives of New York is going to be fabulous and you won’t want to miss a minute. We’ll be live blogging it right here for you and in the meantime, hit up the comments and tell us your thoughts on this group of women!
Tonight’s episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Cody is well-known manicurist down in Miami so what better way to feel her out than to ask for one of her special manicures. It allows her to be on comfortable footing and it also gives Aviva the chance to figure out what kind of person her future stepmother is going to be. In the past Aviva’s dad has dated his fair share of gold-diggers and with wide age gap between him and his new fiancée – Aviva was worried that he might have fallen into another trap.
However Aviva likes her even though her new stepmom is young enough to be her daughter. She feels like Cody really is marrying her father for love. Also it doesn’t hurt that Cody happens to be independently wealthy.
Aviva was so happy for her father that she arranged an engagement party for him and Cody. And because she in charge of the party – most of her friends were invited to share in the happy event. This includes Ramona!
Ramona has a mouth on her and when she opens it up – no one can foresee what’s coming. Earlier Sonja had warned her not to bring up Cody’s parents. Cody recently lost both parents and it was bound to be a touchy subject. Yet seconds after introducing herself and asking Cody what was the appeal about George – Ramona brought up Cody’s parents.
She threw them into the conversation after she stated that most young women that marry older gentlemen are in it for the money and power. And that’s when she said “You’re parents passed, right?”
It left Cody in tears and Ramona quickly left the party after she realized what she did. Cody and Aviva wanted to move past that minor scene, but the rest of the guests wanted to gossip. They were saying things like “typical Ramona” when George took it a step further by calling Ramona a bitch that deserved to be screwed by a dog.
George is just as outspoken as Ramona and the two don’t get on. So Ramona was probably hoping she could catch Aviva by herself when she came by the house the next day to make her apologies. She started out as apologetic though she quickly gave up on that in order to defend herself. Ramona said that she never intentionally set out to hurt Cody, but she did want to point out to the younger woman that maybe she was seeking to replace her parents by marrying George.
And when you think about – it isn’t that far off the mark. Cody is an only child and she lost both parents in quick succession. The one family member she has is a grandmother so Ramona wondered if Cody was seeking male role model. And that’s when George came in to interrupt.
He called Ramona all sorts of names and accused her of being a racist because she asked his black fiancée about her parents. While Ramona called him a lecher praying on young girl who doesn’t know any better. They’re fight finally ended once George told Ramona that he would lick his hand and put it on her dead corpse’ vagina at her funeral!
Everyone felt that Ramona was out of line at the engagement party, but George took it to whole new and icky level. Mercifully, the only witness to this fight was Aviva. The rest of her friends were lucky enough to be in Saratoga to enjoy the races.
Sonja grew up near the area so she counts herself as somewhat of an expert. Although her friends didn’t appear to want any of her expertise. They all betted on a horse that Sonja wasn’t confident about and ended up making over three grand.
Sonja wasn’t all that thrilled when her friends won and they did make it worse by celebrating right in front of her. So she walked away and while she was away – she refused to answer her phone. If she had then she would have known her friends were ready to leave. But because she didn’t – they left without her.
She showed up at the house later, drunk as a skunk, and ready for a fight. She argued with Heather and with Kristen. And when they didn’t cave in (to her being right) – Sonja packed her bag and left the house!

Duration: 9 days
*Price Range: $$$ – $$$

$$$: $1,800+ per person
Fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) where one of our local airport representatives will meet you before immigration holding a sign with your name on it. Outside the airport your private transfer will be waiting to help you with your luggage. Drive 1.5-hours up into the rolling hills of the Los Angeles Cloud Forest and check into your individual casita. Villa Blanca’s cozy casitas are located on 75-acres of misty mountain hillside and surrounded by manicured gardens with groomed nature trails.
Spend all day exploring the grounds at Villa Blanca. Start with an early morning birdwatching tour and try to spot the seasonal quetzal. Learn about the surrounding cloud forest habitat by observing various nature exhibits at José Miguel Alfaro Research Station. Sign-up for a guided night walk for nocturnal wildlife encounters. Celebrate your first full day in Costa Rica with a cocktail at Aqui No Mas Bar before a tantalizing dining experience at the renowned El Sendero Restaurant.
As you make your way from Villa Blanca to Arenal Volcano, stop for a typical Costa Rican lunch in the small town of La Fortuna. Continue onwards another 15-minutes to the base of Arenal Volcano and check into your suite at Manoa, a locally run boutique hotel. Soak in one of the spring-fed jacuzzis alongside two different swimming pools to kick-off your Arenal stay!
Choose one of the river tours in the area for either a leisurely, scenic experience or an adventure rush on class II-III or class III-IV rapids. A safari float on Penas Blancas river or a boat tour on Cano Negro both allow plentiful nature viewing opportunities along the river banks. For a faster-paced river journey, beginners and experienced rafters alike will enjoy the variety of whitewater rapids in the area.
View the rainforest from above on a scenic nature walk over suspension hanging bridges or on a canopy zip-line as you fly between tree platforms within the rainforest canopy. Do one or do both, but make sure to recap the day by soaking in thermal hot springs.
A half day drive from Arenal to Manuel Antonio is the perfect way to see Costa Rica’s countryside! Along the way ask your driver about his/her favorite typical restaurant for an authentic Costa Rican lunch. Stop at the bridge over Rio Tarcoles to see large crocodiles from the safety above. Stretch your legs at Carara National Park while walking the ½ mile self-guided trail where you’ll encounter one of the country’s largest remaining Scarlet Macaw populations in addition to hundreds of other birds, mammals, butterflies, reptiles and insects. Check into your room at Si Como No Resort and Wildlife Refuge. Catch the sunset from your room and then order the catch of the day from Claro Que Seafood Grill.
No trip is complete to the Central Pacific without a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park. Arrive in the early morning for better wildlife viewing when the temperatures aren’t as high and animals are more active. Over 100 species of mammals and nearly 200 species of birds have been spotted within the diverse vegetation consisting of primary and secondary forest as well as mangrove swamps and lagoons. After the guided walk, enjoy the rest of the day on white sand beaches and in clear blue waters inside the national park.
Enjoy a free day at Si Como No. Walk through the butterfly atrium or take a guided tour of the crocodile lagoon and amphibian garden jungle. Cool off from the heat by sliding down the waterslide in the family pool or take a nap in the shade at the adult-only pool. For a wellness retreat, indulge in one of the head-to-toe spa treatments at Cala Spa. At night, make sure to partake in Si Como No’s popular nocturnal wildlife hike.

In the dynamic and fiercely competitive landscape of startups, financial management plays a pivotal role in determining success or failure. Startups face unique challenges, such as limited resources, rapid growth, and constantly evolving financial needs. Entrepreneurs require expert financial guidance and strategic decision-making to navigate these hurdles effectively.
This is where a fractional controller steps in as a game-changer for startups, offering the knowledge and experience of a seasoned financial professional on a part-time basis.
A fractional controller is a financial expert who provides strategic financial support and expertise to startups, acting as a valuable extension of the leadership team. By leveraging their specialized skills and industry insights, these professionals offer startups the best of both worlds: the benefits of an experienced controller without the cost of a full-time employee.
This article will explore the numerous advantages of hiring a fractional controller for your startup. From enhanced financial planning and analysis to improved cash flow management and ensuring compliance with regulations to scaling financial operations, a fractional controller can be a trusted ally in driving your startup toward sustainable growth.
What Does a Fractional Controller Do?
A fractional controller, also known as a part-time or virtual controller, fulfills a crucial role in the financial management of a startup. These professionals bring a wealth of financial expertise and experience, offering strategic guidance and tactical support to help startups achieve their financial goals.
Here are some key responsibilities and tasks that a fractional controller typically undertakes:
1. Financial Planning and Analysis
A fractional controller assists in developing comprehensive financial plans, forecasts, and budgets. They analyze financial data, identify trends, and provide insights and recommendations to support strategic decision-making. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) and conducting financial modeling help startups align their financial objectives with their overall business strategy.
2. Cash Flow Management
Effective cash flow management is vital for the survival and growth of any startup. Fractional controllers are crucial in monitoring cash flow, tracking inflows and outflows, and identifying potential cash flow gaps or bottlenecks. They develop strategies to optimize working capital, manage accounts payable and receivable, and ensure sufficient liquidity for day-to-day operations and growth initiatives.
3. Financial Reporting and Analysis
Fractional controllers prepare accurate and timely financial reports, including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. They analyze financial data, identify trends, and provide insights into the company's financial performance. These reports not only help startups understand their current financial health but also assist in attracting investors and stakeholders.
4. Compliance and Regulatory Matters
Startups must navigate a complex web of financial regulations and compliance requirements. Fractional controllers ensure the startup complies with relevant accounting standards, tax regulations, and reporting obligations. They stay updated with changing regulations and guide on mitigating financial risks and maintaining regulatory compliance.
5. Systems Implementation and Process Improvement
Fractional controllers bring their expertise in implementing financial systems and software to streamline financial operations. They evaluate existing processes, identify inefficiencies, and recommend improvements to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. From implementing cloud-based accounting solutions to optimizing internal controls, they contribute to building a robust financial infrastructure for the startup.
6. Strategic Financial Decision Support
Fractional controllers serve as trusted advisors to startup leaders, offering financial insights and analysis to support strategic decision-making. They provide scenario modeling, conduct a cost-benefit analysis, and evaluate the financial feasibility of new initiatives or investments. By offering an objective financial perspective, they help startups make informed decisions that drive growth and profitability.
Importance of Financial Management for Startups
Financial management is paramount for startups as it is a cornerstone for their success and long-term viability. Startups typically operate with limited resources, making it crucial to optimize and allocate those resources effectively. With sound financial management practices, startups can identify areas of unnecessary expenditure, streamline costs, and prioritize investments that yield the highest return on investment (ROI).
Effective financial management gives startups the necessary information and analysis to make informed business decisions. By leveraging financial data such as revenue projections, cost analysis, and cash flow forecasts, startups can align their strategic planning with their financial objectives.
It ensures that growth initiatives are supported by a robust financial strategy, enabling startups to allocate resources efficiently and make confident decisions that align with their long-term goals.
Furthermore, sound financial management is pivotal in attracting investors and securing funding opportunities. Startups often rely on external funding to fuel their growth and expansion. Investors are more inclined to invest in startups that exhibit responsible financial management practices. Accurate financial reporting, robust budgeting, and a well-defined financial strategy instill confidence in investors and enhance the startup's credibility.
Cash flow management is another critical aspect of financial management for startups. Cash flow serves as the lifeblood of a business, and startups must manage it efficiently to meet daily operational expenses, cover costs, and invest in growth initiatives. Effective financial management gives startups a clear understanding of their cash inflows and outflows, enabling them to maintain adequate liquidity and manage working capital efficiently.
Financial planning and forecasting are indispensable components of financial management for startups. Startups must create a well-defined financial plan and forecast outlining their financial goals, budgets, and revenue projections. This roadmap for financial success enables startups to monitor their progress, identify potential risks or opportunities, and make necessary adjustments to stay on track.
Financial planning ensures that startups align their resources, strategies, and timelines to achieve their objectives, helping them navigate the complexities of the business landscape with clarity and purpose.
Lastly, financial management encompasses compliance and risk management. Startups operate within a regulatory environment and must comply with accounting standards, tax regulations, and reporting obligations. Maintaining compliance ensures startups avoid penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage.
Financial management also involves assessing and mitigating financial risks, allowing startups to identify potential risks and implement strategies to manage them effectively.
1. Expert Financial Guidance
One of the primary benefits of hiring a fractional controller for your startup is gaining access to expert financial guidance. Fractional controllers bring a wealth of financial expertise and experience, offering strategic insights and specialized knowledge that can significantly impact your startup's financial success.
Here's how expert financial guidance from a fractional controller can benefit your startup:
Strategic Financial Planning
Fractional controllers possess a deep understanding of financial strategies and best practices. They can assist you in developing a comprehensive financial plan tailored to your startup's unique needs and goals. Analyzing your financial data, market trends, and industry benchmarks can help you set realistic financial objectives and create a roadmap.
Their expertise ensures that your financial planning aligns with your overall business strategy, increasing the likelihood of success.
Data Analysis and Insights
Fractional controllers have the skills to analyze complex financial data and extract meaningful insights. They can help you understand the key drivers of your financial performance, identify trends, and spot potential risks or opportunities. By providing data-driven insights, they empower you to make informed pricing, cost management, resource allocation, and revenue optimization decisions.
Their expertise enables you to navigate financial complexities and confidently seize growth opportunities.
Financial Performance Monitoring
Monitoring financial performance is essential for startups to track their progress and make timely adjustments. Fractional controllers can establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and design financial dashboards or reports that provide real-time visibility into your startup's financial health.
They help you stay informed about critical metrics, such as revenue growth, profitability, cash flow, and working capital, enabling you to proactively address issues and capitalize on positive trends.
Risk Management and Mitigation
Fractional controllers have a keen eye for financial risks and can assist you in identifying and mitigating potential threats to your startup's financial stability. They help you assess risk exposure, establish internal controls, and implement risk management strategies. By anticipating and managing financial risks, they safeguard your startup from unexpected setbacks and help ensure its long-term sustainability.
Financial Decision Support
Startups face numerous financial decisions, from investment opportunities to pricing strategies and cost optimization measures. Fractional controllers act as trusted advisors, providing objective financial analysis and recommendations to support your decision-making process. They help you evaluate the financial implications of different options, assess ROI, and weigh the pros and cons.
With their guidance, you can make well-informed decisions that align with your financial objectives and maximize your startup's growth potential.
2. Cost Savings
Regarding financial management for startups, hiring a fractional controller offers significant cost savings compared to employing a full-time controller. Here are three key aspects highlighting the cost benefits of hiring a fractional controller:
Affordability compared to full-time controllers
Hiring a full-time controller can be a considerable financial commitment for startups, including salary, benefits, and other associated costs. In contrast, fractional controllers work part-time, allowing you to access their expertise without the burden of a full-time salary. Fractional controllers typically charge based on their services or the hours worked, providing startups with cost-effective access to professional financial guidance.
Reduced overhead expenses
Employing a full-time controller entails additional overhead expenses, such as office space, equipment, software licenses, and employee benefits. By hiring a fractional controller, startups can eliminate or significantly reduce these overhead costs. Fractional controllers work remotely and utilize their resources, minimizing the need for additional infrastructure or equipment.
This cost-saving aspect is particularly beneficial for startups operating with limited financial resources.
Scalable services based on needs and budget
Startups experience fluctuations in their financial management needs as they grow and evolve. Fractional controllers offer the advantage of scalability, allowing startups to adjust the level of financial support based on their changing requirements and budget.
Whether it's a short-term project, ongoing financial oversight, or specific tasks like budgeting or financial reporting, fractional controllers can tailor their services to meet your startup's needs. This flexibility enables startups to control costs while ensuring they receive the necessary financial expertise when required.
3. Compliance and Financial Reporting
When it comes to compliance and financial reporting, hiring a fractional controller offers a multitude of benefits. These professionals bring specialized expertise and knowledge that ensure regulatory compliance, accurate financial reporting, and effective management of financial records. Let's explore each of these benefits in more detail.
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
Fractional controllers possess in-depth knowledge of financial regulations and compliance requirements relevant to your industry. They stay updated with the latest accounting standards, tax laws, and reporting regulations. Their expertise ensures your organization remains compliant, reducing the risk of penalties and legal issues.
Accurate Financial Reporting and Record-Keeping
Fractional controllers excel in preparing financial statements, including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. They prioritize accuracy and timeliness in financial reporting, which is vital for decision-making, investor relations, and meeting legal obligations. Their expertise contributes to maintaining the integrity and reliability of your financial data.
Implementation of Internal Controls
Fractional controllers can establish adequate internal controls within your organization. They evaluate existing processes, identify potential risks, and implement mitigation measures. This includes setting up standardized data entry and reconciliation procedures and implementing robust accounting software. Adequate internal controls enhance the accuracy and efficiency of financial reporting, safeguarding your organization's assets.
Managing Tax Obligations
Fractional controllers assist in managing your organization's tax obligations. They stay updated on tax laws and regulations, ensuring reporting and payment requirements compliance. They can prepare and file tax returns, handle tax audits, and provide strategic tax planning and optimization advice. Their expertise ensures accurate and efficient fulfillment of your tax obligations.
4. Scalability and Flexibility
Adjusting services as the startup grows
In the early stages of a startup, financial needs may not be as complex or demanding. Hiring a full-time, in-house controller might not be financially feasible or necessary. Instead, a fractional controller can be engaged to provide the required financial expertise and support, aligning with the startup's current size and requirements.
Fractional controllers are often experienced professionals who can tailor their services to match the growing business's specific needs and budget constraints. As the company expands and its financial operations become more intricate, the fractional controller can scale up their involvement, offering more comprehensive financial guidance to help the business navigate its growth phase effectively.
Adapting to changing financial needs
Businesses go through various stages, each with unique financial challenges. For instance, during periods of rapid growth, a company may require additional financial analysis, cash flow management, and budgeting expertise. On the other hand, during slower times, the need for financial resources might decrease.
Fractional controllers are well-equipped to adapt to these changing financial needs. They can ramp up their involvement when the company requires more support and scale back during quieter periods, ensuring that the business receives the necessary financial guidance while maintaining cost efficiency.
Support during critical periods (fundraising, acquisitions)
Certain business events or milestones require intensive financial attention and expertise. For example, when a startup is seeking external funding through fundraising rounds, a fractional controller can play a crucial role in preparing financial documents, conducting due diligence, and ensuring that financial reporting meets the requirements of potential investors.
Similarly, the financial complexities can be overwhelming during acquisitions or mergers, and a fractional controller can provide valuable support in financial analysis, integration, and compliance matters. The flexible nature of fractional controllers allows businesses to access their expertise during these critical periods without committing to a full-time hire, saving costs and resources.
6. Strategic Decision-Making
The fifth benefit of hiring a fractional controller lies in their role as strategic decision-making partners. Through their unique skill set and financial acumen, fractional controllers provide valuable insights that empower businesses to make informed and forward-thinking choices. Let's explore the key aspects of how a fractional controller enhances strategic decision-making:
Analysis of financial data
Fractional controllers possess the expertise to analyze complex financial data and distill it into actionable insights. Financial statements, cash flow reports, and key performance indicators can comprehensively assess the company's financial health. This analysis helps decision-makers understand the financial implications of their choices, enabling them to make well-informed decisions that align with the organization's broader goals.
Insights for business expansion
Companies must assess financial viability and potential risks when contemplating business expansion, entering new markets, or launching new products or services. Fractional controllers play a crucial role in this process by conducting feasibility studies and financial projections. They analyze market dynamics, assess investment requirements, and evaluate potential returns, offering valuable insights that guide strategic expansion decisions.
Identifying cost-saving opportunities
Cost optimization is essential for sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive business landscape. Fractional controllers excel at identifying areas where cost-saving opportunities exist within a company's operations. They scrutinize expenses, evaluate overheads, and assess operational processes to recommend improvements. Implementing these recommendations can lead to enhanced profitability and greater financial efficiency.
Long-term financial planning support
Strategic decision-making requires a well-defined and well-executed long-term financial plan. Fractional controllers collaborate with company leaders to develop comprehensive financial strategies and projections. They assist in creating budgets, setting financial goals, and mapping out a roadmap for the company's financial future.
With a solid financial plan, businesses can navigate uncertainties and capitalize on growth opportunities more effectively.
6. Focus on Core Competencies
Focusing on core competencies becomes paramount as businesses strive to stay competitive and achieve their strategic objectives. However, managing financial responsibilities can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, diverting attention from essential tasks. In such scenarios, hiring a fractional controller offers a significant advantage.
This benefit frees up time and resources, allowing businesses to concentrate on their core activities while ensuring sound financial management. Let's get into the two key aspects of this advantage:
Handling financial responsibilities
A fractional controller assumes a critical role in handling a variety of financial responsibilities within a company. They possess comprehensive knowledge of financial best practices, accounting principles, and compliance requirements. As such, they efficiently manage tasks like bookkeeping, financial reporting, cash flow analysis, and budgeting.
By entrusting these crucial financial duties to a fractional controller, businesses can ensure that their financial operations are well-organized, accurate, and compliant.
Freeing up time and resources for core activities
Delegating financial responsibilities to a fractional controller allows business owners and employees to focus on what they do best – their core competencies. Whether developing innovative products, delivering exceptional services, or implementing growth strategies, having a fractional controller shoulder financial duties relieves a significant burden.
This liberation of time and resources empowers businesses to direct their efforts towards strategic initiatives, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence, driving overall growth and success.
7. Access to Networks and Resources
In today's interconnected business landscape, access to networks and resources can be a game-changer for companies striving to thrive and expand. Hiring a fractional controller goes beyond financial expertise; it also brings the advantage of tapping into a vast network of contacts and industry resources.
Utilizing the controller's contacts and industry resources:
Fractional controllers typically have a broad network of contacts within the financial industry, including other financial professionals, accountants, auditors, and financial advisors. They often connect with key industry players, suppliers, vendors, and service providers. Leveraging these contacts can be invaluable for businesses seeking valuable insights, best practices, and potential opportunities.
Whether obtaining industry benchmarks, exploring cost-saving solutions, or seeking recommendations for specialized services, the fractional controller's network can open doors to a wealth of resources that might not be readily available otherwise.
Potential partnerships and collaborations:
As fractional controllers work with multiple clients across various industries, they gain exposure to various business models and market trends. This unique perspective enables them to identify potential partnership opportunities for their clients. They may find an alliance between different businesses or identify complementary products or services that could lead to beneficial collaborations.
Businesses gain access to these strategic insights by engaging with a fractional controller, empowering them to explore and establish mutually beneficial partnerships to drive growth and expand their market reach.
8. Mitigating Risks
Managing risks effectively ensures any organization's long-term success and sustainability. Hiring a fractional controller can be a strategic move for companies seeking to mitigate risks related to their financial operations. A fractional controller with specialized financial expertise and experience is pivotal in risk assessment, implementing risk management strategies, and ensuring financial stability.
Expertise in risk assessment
Fractional controllers are well-versed in conducting comprehensive risk assessments within a company's financial ecosystem. They analyze potential risks related to cash flow, investments, debt management, compliance, and other financial aspects. By identifying these risks early on, businesses can proactively address them before they escalate into significant challenges.
The fractional controller's expertise in risk assessment enables management to make informed decisions that safeguard the company's financial well-being.
Implementing risk management strategies
Once risks are identified, a fractional controller can help implement risk management strategies to mitigate their impact. They work closely with company stakeholders to design and implement risk management plans tailored to the business's needs and objectives.
These strategies include diversifying investments, establishing contingency funds, optimizing working capital, and maintaining adequate insurance coverage. Through these measures, the fractional controller strengthens the company's resilience and ability to navigate unexpected financial events.
Ensuring financial stability
Financial stability is a cornerstone of any successful business. Fractional controllers are crucial in monitoring financial health, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, and adhering to best practices. They provide accurate and timely financial reporting, enabling management to make data-driven decisions.
Maintaining a stable financial foundation makes companies better able to withstand economic uncertainties, industry fluctuations, and unforeseen challenges.
9. Improved Investor Confidence
Credibility and transparency through professional financial management
Investors place a high value on businesses that demonstrate professionalism and transparency in their financial operations. Fractional controllers, with their expert knowledge of financial best practices and accounting standards, ensure that the company's financial management is conducted professionally.
They maintain accurate and transparent financial records, adhere to regulatory requirements, and deliver timely and reliable financial reports.

At Charlotte Emergency Dental, we specialize in dental emergencies. If you have a damaged tooth or some other dental condition, you need to determine whether it is an emergency needing our immediate attention. Some dental issues can be taken care of during your next appointment; however, if you have a dental emergency, it is imperative that you come and see one of our dental health care professionals as soon as you can. Here is more information on what is—and is not—a dental emergency.
If you have damaged a tooth, chances are pretty good that it is an emergency. You will need to consider the extent of the damage: a broken tooth, a tooth with a severe crack, a tooth that has been knocked out or knocked loose, or a tooth that is bleeding, would all be considered emergencies. Essentially, a dental emergency is something that requires treatment immediately in order to prevent the loss of a tooth, relief from severe pain, or to stop heavy or continuous bleeding.
Infected teeth can often qualify as a dental emergency. In fact, an infected tooth can even become life-threatening in some cases. If your tooth is infected, you should consult our office right away.
If the damage to the tooth is not severe, such as a minor chip, a crown that has come loose, or something of that nature, then you are most likely not experiencing an emergency and you can address the problem during normal dental office hours.
Remember, the key consideration is whether immediate action is needed in order to prevent the loss of the tooth, relieve severe pain, or stop bleeding from a tooth or other oral tissue. If any of those things exist, or if you feel that your tooth is likely going to be permanently damaged if you don’t seek immediate treatment, you should consider it to be a dental emergency. If that is the case, contact us immediately at Charlotte Emergency Dental so we can help you find the relief you deserve.
We have temporarily updated our hours, reflected below.
MONDAY to FRIDAY
9:00am – 7:00pm
SATURDAY to SUNDAY
9:00am – 3:00pm
Save time, print online! Fill out forms online before your first visit to shorten your appointment time with us.

Our Runner of the Month is a women that truly could not have been more of a “perfect fit” for the month of February. The month of love. A women that spreads her love for running and life with one of the the biggest hearts (literally.) A mother, wife and friend to many who had a vision to run some day (just shy of a year and half ago) and did exactly that. Shawn is a runner who has certainly surpassed her “newbie” runner status by completely over 30 races in her first year of running!
She truly knows how to love and radiates her energy in the community as a natural motivator. We are SO honored to share Shawn’s story and put her in the spotlight for this month’s Runner of the Month.
The beauty of Facebook has informed me that you just finished the Key West Half Marathon. So, I just have to ask where exactly is your hometown and where have you lived in your past?
I grew up in Hagerstown, Maryland. After high school I spent a few years in the US Army and during that time I lived in South Carolina, Georgia, Germany, Panama and Washington State. BTW Did I mention I “hated” running when I was in the Military!!! When I got married 16yrs ago, I moved to Frederick with my husband Jeffrey.
When did you start running and what triggered you to start?
I literally started running on Labor Day in 2013. My family and I were in Ocean City, Md. I remember sitting on the Porch at our Hotel early in the AM having my usual Dunkin Donuts coffee and Munchkins and was admiring all the runners on the Beach and Boardwalk. I said to my husband “I am going to get up at 6am tomorrow and run on the Beach” Well, I did it and now I am totally addicted. It was not always fun (of course it is now). I went through some “overuse” injuries from knees to calves and even lost a few toenails along the way. I wouldn’t trade those “pains” for anything, I am actually learning from them.
During your first year of running, how many miles did you cover?
During my first year of running, I ran a total of 836 miles and ran in more than 30 races. Most of those races were 5K’s but I did manage to get in 4-10 milers, 4 half marathons and even a FULL.
What truly motivates you to stay active?
What motivates me to stay active is 15 years ago, after giving birth to my daughter Kaitlyn, I had developed a heart condition called Postpartum Cardiomyopathy. Basically, I had an enlarged heart with an ejection fraction of 12% (a normal EF is 75%). When I was diagnosed, I went through an evaluation at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and was immediately placed on the Heart Transplant List. I was told that if I did not get a new heart within 5yrs, I would not survive. After 2 years of being on the transplant list and not successfully finding a donor that was a perfect match, my doctors ran some tests and realized that my EF had miraculously improved to 35%. They stated that I could come off the transplant list but would likely live on heart medication for the rest of my life. Well it is 15yrs later and I now have an EF of 55% and no longer take any heart medications. This is what motivates me to stay active.
In 2014, looks like you ran 30+ races varying from 5K’s to Marathons that is pretty impressive! What would you say your favorite distance is?
Funny you should ask this, 6 months ago, I would have said the 10 mile Distance is my favorite, but you will actually find me at more half marathons in 2015 then you will 10 Milers!
What have you learned about yourself since you started running?
I learned that I am mentally stronger than I ever imagined possible. After running in the Mission 10 Miler last year (which was my first race longer then a 5K) during the sleet and freezing rain, I knew then I could do anything I set my mind to.
If someone is intimidated by running their first race or first mile even, what would be your best advice?
First: I would strongly recommend taking Mark Lawrence’s Chi Running Class http://www.chiliving.com/learn-it/certified-instructor/100592/ to learn proper form during walking and running. I honestly can say that if I would not have taken this class I am not sure that I would be where I am today with my running. It is important that you learn how to run with proper form to eliminate or at least limit the injuries. With this comes getting properly fitted for running shoes!!!
Second: If you have never ran a mile before, I would suggest starting out as a walker and “sprinkle” in some 20sec running intervals. Keep using the walk/run intervals for as long as needed (could be few weeks, could be few months) eventually increasing your running time/distance. Just remember that it is ok to walk during your run, I think that is important to tell anybody who is just starting out that walking is acceptable during your run.
Third: Join a Running Club!!! I actually belong to two clubs here in the Frederick area. “The Steeplechasers” and “Mom’s Run This Town”. Both are awesome groups, offering lots of support and motivation. Joining a group helps keep you accountable, especially when you are a new runner, knowing that somebody is waiting on you for a run, helps keep you accountable and less likely to “bail” because maybe you are not feeling it that day. I have to give a shout out to my fellow Turtles…
So besides spending a lot of time running, what else do you enjoy doing?
I enjoy spending time with my beautiful daughter Kaitlyn (now 15yrs old). She is at that age where she wants to go to concerts and or shopping. I suffered through many Justin Bieber concerts in my day, luckily she has moved on from him and most of the music she listens too now is also on my playlist. I also enjoy spending time with my supportive husband Jeffrey. He was not crazy about my running in the beginning but now he is the one who is finding me a race to run when we are on vacation!! During the summer, we spend lots of weekends in OCMD or trekking off to Florida for a long weekend.
What’s on the agenda for 2015?
As of Jan 30th, and I am still adding to my calendar, I have 17 races on my schedule to include 2-5k’s, 2-10K’s, 5-10 milers, 6- half marathons and 2 full marathons.
Most of my Spring and Summer races are pretty local but my fall races have me traveling out of state a bit. I will be traveling to Adams County Ohio in September to “Run With The Amish”. In October, I will be going to Kansas City for the Waddell & Reed Full Marathon. In November I will be heading to Vegas for the Rock-N-Roll Half.
I am hoping to add NYC Marathon to the mix as well in November (I have a 12% chance my name gets pulled for that)
One last fun question: After a race or long training run what is your food?
After my long runs, I love to chug a bottle of Muscle Milk with my Eggs and Pancakes!!

BPCL Develops Game Changing Advancement to Test Crude Oil
- 06-Apr-2020 2:00 PM
- Journalist: Timothy Greene
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a major company in petrochemical sector of India has announced the development of a salient and user-friendly technology to analyse the quality of crude oil. The technology is said to be a ‘crude horoscope predictor tool’ and is called BPMarrk, it is advanced enough to test diverse properties of crude oil by examining four parameters and generates the result within an hour. BPMarrk is an all in one technology that can brace the oil and gas sector in advanced planning, crude selections and critical unit operations in refineries. It is anticipated as a game changing advancement in the petrochemical sector as it will help save a good amount of time from the traditional methods that took about 30-45 days for completion. BPCL undertook this project in FY 16 and announced the completion of it two years later. The current cost of operations is not decided yet, but the authorities stated that it could be nearly a fraction of the present cost of testing that is around INR 2.5 Million. The director of BPCL, R Ramachandran stated that the company is planning to utilize the technology for product optimisation and issue patents for the same. Moreover, the company is presently reaching out to crude assaying MNC’s like Honeywell and Aspen to establish commercial ties.

Lasagna Style Bulb Combinations: Tips For Double Decker Bulb Planting
Planted in the autumn and allowed to come up naturally in spring, bulbs provide a hopeful glimpse into warmer weather to come. They also grow very well in containers, meaning you can grow them right on a porch or doorstep where they’ll show off their color the most. If you’re growing bulbs in containers, consider the lasagna bulb planting technique to ensure you get the most bang for your container buck and constant color and spring long. This article will help get you started with flower bulb lasagna growing.
Bulb Lasagna Gardening
Bulb lasagna gardening, also called double decker bulb planting, refers to the placement of bulbs within the container. Different bulbs bloom at different points in the spring, and by planting them all in the same container, you’re guaranteed a whole spring’s worth of successive blossoming. You want your flowers to fill out the container, though – you don’t want a big hole in your hyacinths where your daffodils will be in two months’ time.
That’s where the layering comes in. In autumn, cover the bottom of your container with a layer of gravel, then a layer of potting material. On top of that, place a full layer of large, late-spring bulbs.
Cover them with another layer of soil, then place a full layer of medium sized, mid-spring bulbs. Cover that with more soil (by now you should be getting the lasagna analogy) and place a layer of small, early-spring bulbs.
Top it all off with one more layer of soil, then surround and cover the container with mulch , leaves, or pine needles to insulate it over the winter.
In early spring, the top layer will bloom first, and around the time it’s dying off, you’ll see the middle layer, which in turn will be replaced by the bottom layer.
Lasagna Style Bulb Combinations
Bulb lasagna gardening is easy. With so many possible combinations, though, choosing the right plants for your double decker bulb planting can be overwhelming. It’s important to time your bulbs right, and most bulb packages will tell you when in the spring they bloom.
Some good early, small bulbs are:
Medium mid-season bulbs include:
Large, late-season bulbs include:

Over the last 18 months, lockdowns and restrictions have become far too familiar. Many Australians are currently in lockdown or spending more time at home in order to help protect themselves and those in their community, but that doesn’t mean we have to let our spinal health and overall wellbeing lapse.
In these unusual times, it is important to remember to put your health first and to keep your life and daily habits as normal, healthy and productive as possible. If you find yourself in lockdown or limiting time outside your home, try following these simple tips to care for your spine at home.
Take breaks from sitting
Sitting for long periods without a break – whether it’s catching up on your favourite series, reading a book or working away on your computer – can affect your postural health, even when you exercise regularly. When you sit for too long and too often, the natural curve in your back deteriorates, increasing pressure in your back and weakening the core stabilising muscles in your back.
While it is easy to lose track of time at home, it’s important to remember to give both our minds and bodies a much-needed break. Every 30 minutes or so get up and do a little stretch or something quick and active like 10 squats or star-jumps. As long as you’re moving!
Every hour, take a five minute break by going for a walk around the block or making a hot drink, anything to get you up, moving and away from your screen. Complete the three-minute stretching program on the Straighten Up app during this time as well. The program is designed to improve your spinal health, posture and overall wellbeing, and is a great tool to help you move during long periods at home.
Walk 30 minutes a day
Brisk walking is a great way to improve your spinal health and overall wellbeing. Walking can help increasing your heart and lung fitness, muscle strength and endurance and contributes to a naturally upright posture.
Set the goal of trying to walk for 30 minutes a day or at least try and hit 10,000 steps daily. Over time, try and increase this number as your walking improves. Walking is also a great way to socialise with friends and enjoy the great outdoors, while exploring new walking trails near you.
The Just Start Walking app is a great tool to help get you walking today. The app has a number of features, including tracking distance and pace of walk, setting goals, daily reminders, ability to save walks, connect to Spotify and so much more!
Monitor your screen time
While mobile phones, tablets and laptops are great for staying connected to everyone and everything, looking down at devices too often and for long periods can have a negative impact on our neck and spine. Here are some helpful tips to help keep your spine happy when using your mobile device:
- Take a break: It is easy to forget so set an alarm on your phone as a reminder.
- Raise your device: As close to eye level is best, so you won’t have to tilt your head forward and strain your neck.
- Stretch your neck: If you’re not sure which stretches can help improve your spinal health, the 3-minute stretching program on the Straighten Up app is designed to do just that.
- Work on your posture: It is important to work on a maintaining a good posture. Being mindful about this will contribute greatly to your spinal health. The Straighten Up app has an in-built reminder function to help you manage your posture.
While there is no need to shun technology all together, why not set aside a short technology detox in your day? You could unwind with a book, cook a meal or enjoy a relaxing cuppa with no tech in sight.
Stretching and performing spinal exercises can help you improve your spinal health and the way your body functions. These exercises can also help improve posture, stabilise core muscle groups and enhance health.
The exercise program in the ACA’s Straighten Up app is designed for people of all ages and can be completed anytime, anywhere. The exercise program only takes a few minutes to complete, so can easily be added to your everyday routine.
Sleeping is important for our bodies to heal, rest and be ready for the day ahead. But did you know that the positions you sleep in at night may be doing more harm than good? Here are the most common sleeping positions and how to adjust them for better spinal health:
- Stomach sleeping: Bad news for stomach sleepers, this is considered to be the worst sleeping posture and is not recommended. It puts unnecessary pressure on your neck due to twisting your head and the straining of your lower back. It can also cause pressure on your chest.
- Side sleeping: This is generally considered a better sleeping position for a healthy spine. Try lying with your lower leg fairly straight and bend your upper leg or try placing a pillow between your knees and bending both your knees and hips slightly to position your pillow. This will reduce pressure placed on the spine and provide alignment.
- Back sleeping: Sleeping on your back can also help maintain a healthy spine. For extra support, place a pillow under your knees to keep to the natural curve of your spine and reduce strain on your lower back. It is also important to ensure your head pillow is the correct height to reduce strain on the curves of your neck.
Old mattresses can be contributing to already existing back pain or incite pain to present itself, so supporting yourself with an up-to-date mattress as your body moves through the stages of sleep helps support your back and get those crucial hours of sleep. The ACA endorsed SleepMaker CHIRO Bedding Collection can provide the comfort and support your spine needs throughout the night.
While lockdown or limiting time outside your home can feel a little isolating, friends and colleagues are usually only a phone call away. Utilise technology to stay connected with people by having virtual video meetings, or even just checking in with friends or family for a casual chat. Talking to those who are home as well can help you feel like you’re not alone in this.

Isaac asks, “How are you keeping your mental health afloat right now? With the covid news everywhere, its really hitting me hard. I deeply wish I could stop looking at social media right now, but its my job!”
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional. Consult a qualified medical professional immediately, especially if you feel unsafe, such as considering self-harm.
I can only tell you what works for me. What I find helpful is staying informed from the most qualified sources. A lot of the regular news media tends to oversimplify, distort, or hype up news, taking accurate information out of context.
Other suggestions: schedule your time on social media rigorously with a timer, so you can fulfill your job requirements.
Use a management tool like Agorapulse (disclosure: partner) to interface with customers so you’re not on the networks themselves.
Set aside mental health breaks – you’re more than allowed to go outside and enjoy some sunshine.
Stay in touch with friends – use your network for support. You’re not alone in this – literally everyone is in the same place.
Find a form of meditation that works for you – everyone is different. Some people need to move, others need to sit, some need to sing, etc.
Finally, suspend your normal rules. This is a highly abnormal situation. As long as you’re obeying quarantine/distancing rules, do what’s fun for you. Bust out those guilty pleasures. Watch that series on Netflix.

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, Isaac asks, How are you keeping your mental health afloat right now with the Cova news everywhere it’s really hitting me hard.
I would deeply Wish I could stop looking at social media right now but it’s my job.
You’re not alone.
Full disclaimer first, I am in no way shape or form a qualified medical professional or mental health professional.
If you feel unsafe, please, you know, use the telemedicine option on your insurance or whatever.
please get in touch with a qualified medical professional or qualified mental health professional if you feel unsafe is priority number one is keeping yourself safe.
So that’s it.
I can only tell you what works for me.
What works for me is finding the most credible sources of information and following them.
What you see in the mainstream media is Typically oversimplified it is distorted.
It is a little snip out 10 second sound bites, in some new sources cases, just absolute outright lies.
There’s a lot of hype, and these publications need the eyeballs.
So a lot of accurate information gets taken out of context.
I like to go to rigorously qualified sources like New England Journal of Medicine journal, the American Medical Association, World Health Organization, the Lancet, all the medical publications that have a strong interest in sharing correct information, even if it’s technically dense, even if it’s not thrilling or exciting prose at this point, I don’t want exciting prose I just want to know, as close to accurate information as possible.
Same for following people on social media.
I follow epidemiologists infectious disease spec specialists virologists, anybody who has a qualified perspective and is doing good work and releasing data.
Those are the people I follow because I trust that they are working towards a solution.
They are working towards giving the public as accurate information as possible.
And in a lot of cases, they’re not the ones on news because they’re not media trained, and they’re not.
They’re not people who can communicate in five second sound bites, although some of these concepts take 10 minutes to explain, and that’s okay.
So I like that’s how I stay informed about this.
other suggestions for marketing purposes? Yes, you do have to do your job.
So schedule your time, particularly on social media right now.
Set a timer on your phone or something like that so that you can fulfill your job requirements and do what’s required, but not more than that.
If you don’t have one look at a tool like Agorapulse that’s a social media management tools, you know, social inbox.
That way you can interface with customers or Respond to inquiries, review things and stuff but you don’t have to be on the main network itself where you see your newsfeed I you know it’s on a project coronavirus.
Set aside, mental health breaks, you know you’re allowed to take a break, you’re allowed to go outside for a walk.
Enjoy some sunshine, sometimes the best disinfectant kills viruses like you wouldn’t believe.
Just stay away from other people.
You’re allowed to take a break from meditation, you’re allowed to, you’re working from home, probably.
So go find a quiet corner, wherever it is you live and you sing your favorite song.
But take those breaks as you need them.
Stay in touch with your friends, especially digitally, right? Because that’s where we all are, and use your network for support.
Literally, you’re not alone in this literally every single person is in the exact same situation.
So use your network, right use your connections, use these tools.
For relying on others fire up a video chat.
Now just have coffee with somebody to turn on video chat and you guys can sit down and talk, you just are not doing it in person, you can still see the person’s face and such.
Find a form of meditation that works for you.
A lot of people say meditation, but there are a lot of forms of meditation.
And there’s going to be forms that work for you in forms that don’t some people can are totally good with the, you know, the standard type of sitting meditation, Zen style, meditation, she Conway are sitting quietly breathing, focusing on your breath, other people that drives them up the wall, like they just can’t do it.
There are they’re sitting meditation, there’s moving meditations.
There’s, you know, singing, painting, whatever it is, it gets you in the zone of focusing on something other than the noise in your mind, right.
So you experiment around, figure out what works for you, whatever it is.
That gives you that feeling of I’m focused on one thing only.
And this is the thing, you know, painting, drawing, coloring books, whatever the case is, whatever works for you.
It’s going to take some experimentation, but hey, we got time, right? So find that actually will be a great outcome from this particular situation to be able to figure out what really does work best for you.
And finally, suspend your normal rules, right? This is a highly abnormal situation.
This is a once in a century situation.
As long as you’re obeying the rules that the authorities have set down for you, regarding social distancing and quarantine, do what’s fun for you, you know, have that extra bar chocolate, drink that bottle of wine, maybe not during work hours.
But give yourself the permission to to do stuff a little outside the box right now.
Because it is an unusual situation.
It is a challenging situation for many and You want to be able to give yourself some forgiveness, right? Give yourself some permission.
So keep that in mind.
Again, I’m not a qualified mental health practitioner.
If you feel unsafe, please dial up some help right away.
In case you feel unsafe.

5° Coloquio Internacional de Ciencias Cognitivas
Dra. Nuria Valverde Pérez
Departamento de Humanidades División de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades UAM-Cuajimalpa
Título de ponencia:
"From anthropology of things to anthropology of technology: is there a place for coproduction of techniques?"
Resumen de ponencia:
Creative systems usually produce purposeful behavior, but not necessarily. In this paper we explore a model of a creative agent that has a more abstract aim: that of establishing an interactive relationship with its environment and, particularly, with a paralyzed patient, such as a Locked-in Syndrome (LIS) patient. Along this relationship the creative artificial agent is defined and evolves with time, becoming thus engaged in a process of individuation (as considered by Simondon 2001) and plastic embeddedness. Our intention is to prototype a minimal and variable architecture for a system to establish a creative relationship with the patient. In this work we pay special attention to the bifocal deployment of creativity by the artificial agent: on the one side, it produces a “self” or inner reference towards which notions of hardware/material/body thresholds are incorporated and re-elaborated. On the other, environmental disparaged elements are integrated in a coherent, new and experimental way in order to resonate with the sketchy/tentative subjectivity in process. We understand that temporary stability is produce—and hence embeddedness is reinforced—in the mutual play of challenge and adjustment that takes place in going through these two creativity phases. The proposed architecture would ground the following stage in which co-creative relationship and relational creativity (Valverde&Negrete 2018) takes place between the patient and the artificial agent.

Fraud is a fact of corporate life today, as the latest Kroll Global Fraud report notes, somewhat ominously, in its opening pages.\n\n\n More About IT Risk on CIO.com\n \n Fraud and Theft Risks in Global Supply Chains Are Everywhere\n \n Security Breaches and Fraud: Managing a Trust-Damaging Event\n \n Abagnale: Top Tips to Prevent Identity Theft and Fraud \n\nThe average company's losses to fraud increased by 22 percent since last year, and the average business lost $8.2 million to fraud during the past three years (last year's figure was $7.6 million). \n\nThose sobering statistics are from a recent survey of 890 senior executives worldwide, commissioned by risk consultancy Kroll. [To read about fraud in supply chains, see "Fraud and Theft Risks in Global Supply Chains Are Everywhere."] \n\nSo what's keeping executives up at nights, besides the slumping economy and financial crises? \n\nThe survey found that information theft, loss or attack is the type of fraud that most worried the respondents, with 25 percent feeling highly vulnerable and 47 percent feeling moderately so. That data shows why: The fastest growing types of fraud are information theft (27 percent; up from 22 percent last year) and regulatory and compliance breaches (25 percent; up from 19 percent). (See "My Company Has Had a Data Breach. What Do I Do?" for tips on how to handle it quickly and effectively.) \n\nWhat's interesting, however, is that while senior management may say they have deep concerns about fraud, they also may have some blinders on\u2014and they wind up underestimating the exposure their businesses actually face today. \n\n"The survey data suggests that those who know more about technology and how it is used day to day in a company have a greater concern," notes the report. \n\nIn fact, employees working below the C-suite who are closer to an organization's technology efforts and systems are over one and a half times more likely than those at the corporate level to see their companies as highly vulnerable (31 percent versus 19 percent), according to the report. \n\nFurther bolstering IT's view into possible threats, the survey found that chief technology officers have "opinions closer to those of less senior employees than to those of their C-suite colleagues," states the report. Twenty-five percent see their businesses as highly vulnerable, whereas only 18 percent of other corporate peers do. \n\n"If senior executives are not worried about their vulnerability to information theft, they should check whether their sense of safety is based on a thorough understanding of the security deployed by the company, or ignorance of the full extent of threat," notes the survey report. "In this case, too little knowledge could be a dangerous thing."

Two-year-old Anna and her family traveled to Changsha, China this summer to visit relatives. Their prep list for the trip included scheduling a tVISIT (teleservices Virtual Intervention Services for Infants and Toddlers) with Clarke’s Melissa Pyzik M.E.D., LSLS Cert. AVEd, via Facetime in June.
Anna has a mild to moderate bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss and while living in Bellevue, Washington received services through an OPTION School. The family connected with Clarke for tVISIT services in February 2018 when they began plans to relocate to Florida. The teleservices began at 6:00 pm PT for the family and 9:00 pm ET for Melissa who is based in Winter Garden, FL.
The family’s success with tVISITs led them to schedule a session during their trip to China. With a 12-hour time difference, the family met with Melissa from a hotel in Changsha. Anna’s mother brought a few books as well as paper and crayons. It was necessary to be creative but in the end, Melissa coached the family in auditory verbal strategies through singing, vocabulary through literacy and use of simple sentences by making a beautiful Father’s Day card.
“It has been a joy to see Anna come so far in her auditory learning, develop her play skills and begin to hold conversations with her peers,” says Melissa.
This fall Anna and her family continue with tVISITs and also participate in auditory-verbal therapy in Orlando. Her tVISIT from China marks the most virtual “ground covered” through Clarke’s teleservices! Learn more at clarkeschools.org/tvisit.

But, this post isn't about vegetables, it's about one of my favorite spring blooming mustards~the toothwort! Which by the way, is completely edible!
|Cutleaf toothwort's terminal clustered flowers are white, pink, or pale purple.|
Cutleaf toothwort was the first wildflower to catch my eye the spring after we moved here. It was a very busy time in my life, I had a pre-schooler and a growing therapy practice but, there was always time to explore a new garden on a warm spring morning. I recall being completely charmed by the nodding bell flowers that grew here and there on the weedy lawn. They imprinted on my heart and every spring my winter tired spirit soars when I see the budding flowers.
|It plays well with other wildflowers|
Of the four toothworts found in Tennessee, the cutleaf toothwort is the happiest in my garden. It has formed small colonies and usually begins blooming in late February here in my Zone7 garden, elsewhere in it's native range (Eastern US and parts of southern Canada) it might not appear until April. It prefers moist forested woodlands with lots of decaying leaves and dappled sunlight. It plays well with other spring ephemerals and quietly disappears by early summer leaving space for summer blooming plants to do their thing.
But, Cardamine it is!
|Showy flowers have ultra-violet nectar guides to attract pollinators|
|the name crucifer is in reference to the suggestion of a cross (crucifix) shape formed by the 4 spreading petals.|
This has not been a warm year! Pollinators haven't been out and about very often. Not to worry, this clever plant has several non-showy flowers that can self-pollinate.
Don't you think nature is amazing! We must do more to take care of it.

Timeline: 2020 onwards
In order to meet the targets set out in the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) of reducing overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent by 2030, MiWay is moving towards a greener fleet and only purchasing hybrid-electric and zero-emission vehicles instead of conventional diesel buses.
In 2021, MiWay added five new, second-generation 60-foot hybrid-electric buses to its fleet in 2021 that are convertible to full battery power. This increased the total number of hybrid electric buses in MiWay’s bus fleet to 41, or eight percent of the total bus fleet.
EV Ice Resurfacers:
In December 2021, the City of Mississauga rolled out eight new electric ice resurfacers at select City arenas. When fully charged, these electric model 650 Zambonis can complete approximately 25 ice resurfacings.

12 Things I Wish I Knew Before Climbing Kilimanjaro
You undoubtedly learn a lot of things during your climb of Kilimanjaro. After your climb, you might realize there are a few things you should have done differently to make yourself stronger or more prepared.
This guide will cover some of the most important things climbers said they wish they knew before Climbing Kilimanjaro.
1. Bring Layers and Prepare for the Cold
Many people underestimate how cold it can really get on the mountain since it’s located on the equator. The best thing you can do is bring as many layers as possible. If you happen to feel warm, it’s easy to shed layers.
If you are too cold though and didn’t bring enough layers, there are not a lot of options.
All your clothes should be dry wick so they don’t stick to your body. Ideally, your outer layers need to be waterproof. Being cold and wet at the same time is an easy way to get sick and not be able to summit. Read more about what to pack for Kilimanjaro
2. The Kilimanjaro Summit Day Is the Hardest
While you will climb long hours every day, the summit day is the hardest. Just as you are starting to get used to the long climbing days, the summit day approaches and you have an even longer climbing day.
On the day of the summit, you have to wake up around midnight so that you can hopefully reach the peak before sunrise. At this point, you are climbing through the Highland Dessert and Artic Tundra climate zones where the air is very thin and cold.
Just keep walking and take each step at a time. Don’t forget to let your Kilimanjaro guides know if you feel sick or if you need to take a break.
3. Choose Your Route Wisely
There are several routes up the mountain and some are more difficult than others. By choosing a longer route, you have more time to adjust to the altitude. This is why routes like the 8-day Lemosho and 9-day Northern Circuit have higher success rates.
Many people are not aware of all the different route choices to the summit but the route you choose can really make or break your climb.
If you have done high-altitude climbing before or are very physically fit, you can try one of the shorter routes like the 6-day Marangu route option.
4. Watch Out For Altitude Sickness
Your guide should check your oxygen levels and lungs twice a day so they can monitor you for altitude sickness. However, you also need to know the signs and symptoms so you can take care of yourself and let a guide know.
Some people choose to take Diamox which can help with headaches and shortness of breath. This medication needs to be obtained from your home country at the discretion of a doctor.
If you experience any of the following, make sure to let your head guide know immediately:
- Feeling overtired or fatigued
- Loss of appetite
- Trouble sleeping
Some of these signs can just be from high levels of physical activity but other times they can be signs that you are developing altitude sickness.
5. You Might Find It Hard to Sleep
Even though you spend the whole day climbing, you might find it hard to sleep at the end of each day. This is because the reduced oxygen at the higher altitudes makes it hard to sleep well.
It’s normal to feel restless or to wake up several times during the night. You might also have very weird dreams which keep you awake.
Just try the best you can to get some good sleep and don’t let the lack of sleep deter you from summiting Kilimanjaro.
Even though poor sleep happens on the mountain, you should avoid taking sleeping pills. They can suppress the respiratory system and make it harder for your lungs to receive oxygen while on the mountain.
If you already take sleeping pills, you should let your doctor know you plan to climb Kilimanjaro and seek their advice. You should also let your guide know about any medicines you are taking.
6. Bring Lotion and Lip Balm
The wind and weather conditions on the mountain can make your skin extremely dry especially if you are already prone to having cracked or peeling skin. The weather can even make your lips swollen and cracked, so wearing lip balm is a must.
Make sure any lip balm or lotion you use has SPF in it. Apply it as often as you can to avoid damage to your lips.
While most of your body will be well protected by the weather, you want to make sure you moisturize all exposed skin such as the hands and face.
7. Get Ready to Drink Water and Pee All the Time
Your guides will encourage you to drink water all day long even if you might not feel thirsty. Staying hydrated makes climbing easier and it can also prevent altitude sickness so drinking enough water is key while on the mountain.
With all the extra water drinking, you might find yourself needing to pee much more often than normal. While climbing, you can stop to pee in a hidden area. At the camps, there are public toilet facilities. Our company also provides a private portable toilet that is much cleaner than the public ones.
Don’t hold your pee in though until you reach the camp every night. It’s perfectly normal to have to stop along the way and pee behind a rock or bush.
If you’re a woman, you might want to consider bringing a pee bottle. This allows you to pee standing up so you can just unzip your pants and pee into the bottle rather than having to pull down your trousers and pee squatting.
This really helps on very cold days as pulling down your entire trousers in the cold can be miserable.
Make sure you use the toilet tent right before bed so you hopefully don’t have to get out of your sleeping bag in the middle of the night to pee.
8. It’s Normal to Feel “Different” While High Up On the Mountain
Many people report that they feel “off” on summit day and maybe the day before as they get higher and higher up on the mountain. This is normal and not usually a cause for concern, but it’s something to be aware of so you can mentally prepare yourself.
Just make sure you know the difference between feeling a little “off” and suffering from altitude sickness. If you aren’t sure, let the guides know how you feel and they can determine better what might be happening.
Climbing and walking at high altitudes can make you feel exhausted very easily so even small tasks like going to the bathroom can take a lot of energy out of you. This is why it’s pretty normal to feel tired and out of it as you get to the higher altitudes.
9. Slow and Steady Wins the Race
At higher altitudes, your body is working harder even if you are just walking at a slow pace. This is why we recommend all climbers take on a slow and steady pace. Getting to the summit is not a race.
Even if you are at the back of the group every day, don’t feel bad! You are doing yourself a favor by going slow and letting your body adjust to the changing conditions.
10. The Right Gear Makes a Difference
The quote “there is no bad weather, only bad clothes” really applies while on the mountain. Climbers who have the right gear including thermal layers, waterproof down jackets, and thermal sleeping bags, report a much better experience while climbing compared to those who didn’t pack well.
Waterproof hiking boots are also a must. Ideally, they are already broken in and you have worn them a few times so you know if they are a good fit for you or not.
Some of this equipment can be pricey, which is why most companies give you the option of renting gear so you can still have all the proper items without breaking your wallet. Read our recommended Kilimanjaro packing List
11. Your Morale Matters
Climbing Kilimanjaro is not all physical. There is a huge mental component as well. As you get higher in altitude, it can be hard to keep up the energy and mentality you had at the beginning of the climb.
By keeping your morale high and keeping yourself mentally well, your chance of summiting is much higher.
This is one of the reasons why it’s important to sing, laugh, and dance on the mountain. Many crews will spend the mornings and walking hours singing with you so the entire group is able to keep their morale high.
By climbing with friends or joining a group, you might also find it easier to be supported since there are others experiencing the same things as you.
Many people travel and climb solo and then meet friends on the climb so feel free to sign up alone and join a larger group!
12. The Climb is Easier Than Most People Think, But Training is Still a Must
Kilimanjaro is called a “walk-up mountain” which means getting to the summit is one long hike with no technical climbing experience required. This means it’s much easier to reach the summit than people think.
You don’t have to be an experienced hiker or mountaineer to reach the top of Kilimanjaro. You do, however, need to prepare and train.
Even though there is no technical climbing, you still have to be prepared to walk for 5-10 hours a day and even more on the summit night. Preparing and training can ensure you are better prepared for the climb and that you have a very high chance of summiting.
Training your body is just as important as training your mind. Many people find yoga and meditation to be very helpful in getting your mind prepared for the climb.
The Bottom Line
Climbing Kilimanjaro is an amazing experience that you will never forget. By doing a lot of research and seeing what others wish they would have known before the climb, you can get a better idea of how to prepare for this amazing journey.

Still haven't shaved.
I thought I'd let you know that I'm representing the Clippers in a real time draft on True Hoop. Jeff from CelticsBlog will be collecting blogger picks, followed by blogger reactions after the team's real picks. It's hard to say how this is really going to go. Jeff will undoubtedly be institutionalized later this evening, but other than that, it's anyone's guess.
Anyway, it should be fun. It's a big moment for me. The first time I'll make it onto the worldwide leader. Whatev.

Jasper MORRIS, 2019: Further Tastings from the Côte de Nuit
LA FORGE DE TART 1er CRU
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis La Forge de Tart 1er Cru has quite a high-toned and overtly floral bouquet, the 20% whole bunch neatly disguised. There is a touch of mint that emerges with time. The palate is very harmonious, silky smooth tannins, the 50% new oak seamlessly integrated. This is a clear level up from the Village Cru and feels caressing and sensual towards the finish. Excellent, but it deserves 5-7 years in bottle.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince William and Kate Middleton weren’t the only ones who got to see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s new abode! The Duchess of Sussex recently invited Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth over to tour Frogmore Cottage just days before her royal baby is expected to arrive.
“Harry and Meghan haven’t been short of royal visitors since moving into Frogmore,” a royal insider exclusively revealed to Closer Weekly. “Meghan is so proud of her new home and invited the Queen over for afternoon tea so that she could give her a personal tour. The Queen loved seeing how the couple have transformed the house and made it their own and is really impressed with the renovations.”
Apparently, Harry, 36, and Meghan, 37, have spent around $4 million to renovate their new abode, and according to royal correspondent Katie Nicholl, they made their baby’s nursery exactly how they want it.
“According to sources who are helping with [their new home] renovations, the nursery itself is going to be very modern,” Katie previously revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “Don’t expect to see any baby pink or baby blue. Apparently, it’s going to be a monochrome palette — whites and grays, I’m told, will be the color theme for baby Sussex’s nursery.”
So much for trying to find out the sex of Harry and Meghan’s new baby! However, once Meghan delivers her little bundle of joy, we’re sure her kid will love their new life outside Kensington Palace. They’ll get to play with their cousins Prince George and Princess Charlotte whenever they want!
“The cottage is much more private, and they wanted that for the arrival of the baby,” a source recently shared to Us Weekly. “They are looking forward to really starting their lives together on their own.” We wish them nothing but the best!

There are still a couple weeks left in 2017, but marketers are already looking toward next year and the new marketing trends they should factor into their budgets. While it's impossible to know specifically what challenges the new year will bring, a few 2018 marketing trends are already forming.
Invest in Video Ads, Especially on Facebook
Streaming video on social media was one of the biggest growth drivers in 2017, so it comes as no great surprise that the trend will continue into next year. Recode reported that video ad spending is expected to grow 49 percent (to roughly $18 billion) in 2018.
As streaming on laptops and other large-display devices further declines, mobile streaming will continue to dominate other devices. Although mobile video has spread across the web, the most views in 2018 will still come from social media — specifically Facebook — making spending on this platform essential in the new year for even the most budget-conscious marketers.
While some marketers may have invested in several different video services, those hoping to streamline their budgets should look to prioritize Facebook over platforms like YouTube or Instagram in the new year.
Attribution, Coming Soon
Google's release of their Attribution tool has benefited marketing professionals looking for more comprehensive information regarding customer conversion. By combining data from Google Analytics, AdWords and DoubleClick Search, Attribution provides the cross-channel context marketers need to view a full conversion journey, as opposed to just the last click. Search Engine Watch noted that this new technology can be useful for understanding the keywords or search terms that effectively start the conversion process, which is helpful in reflecting their true value.
Following the global rollout in 2018, this tool should help marketers streamline their promotions — so they can be a bit more careful with their overall budget and get the most bang for their buck in the new year.
The Growth of Personalization Technology
Targeting has made ad personalization possible to a limited degree, and Forbes reported that rapidly progressing technology is allowing for truly personalized content. New options use precision analytics to track audience profiles and create buyer personas in order to generate specific personalized content.
While you may not want to invest your entire budget in this emerging technology, spending a little to get in on the ground floor of an upcoming trend could serve you well. Personalization technology could be on track to shake up the marketing world not only in 2018 but in 2019 and beyond. By prioritizing this trend in the new year, you can ensure your audience remains engaged and your budget will have the bandwidth to continue supporting growth further down the road.
This year's not over yet, but as we enter the final months, it doesn't hurt to look ahead at the 2018 marketing trends that will drive business.

Achieve financial freedom
Is it worth becoming an IB? Why choose CMTrading Partners? Charlie Charalambous, CMTrading’s Head of Global IBs, answers these questions and more below: 1. How is upskilling yourself beneficial?
Charalambous said: “Upskilling means learning a new skill and as the saying goes ‘you should always sharpen the mind’. Otherwise, you’re going backward. Learning new skills is something you should constantly be doing. The biggest and best minds on the planet are continually learning and educating themselves. There’s no better way to invest in yourself than by upskilling.”
Q With the economy as it is, surely it’s risky to start your own business?
Charalambous said: “Is it risky to start your own business today? In short, no. Anytime is a good time to start your own business because you control your outcome rather than someone else controlling your outcome. It’s the only way to live – running your own business gives you financial freedom.”
Q: I have a family and/or job – how will the IB program benefit me?
Charalambous said: “Financial independence and passive income are two of the biggest reasons to join our program. You could probably earn more from the IB program than you can from a normal office job.”
Q: How does CMTrading Partner program work? How will you help me?
Charalambous said: “You’re commercializing your social network. So, therefore, every time you get someone to register and deposit with us, we share the revenues created from that. Therefore, you can earn a continuous and never-ending flow of income based on the people that you refer to. The more you refer, the more they trade, and the more you make. This is a mutually beneficial relationship – we want you to succeed.
Q: What makes CMTrading different from other platforms?
Charalambous said: “Our IBs are fortunate because they build a real relationship with me. I’m incredibly ambitious. That makes me ambitious to get them to perform and get the best out of them. I will do everything it takes to get them to achieve their financial freedom. It’s all about building the right relationship with the right people.”
Q: Advice for anyone on the fence about being an IB?
Charalambous said: “Ask yourself this simple question – do you want to be financially independent or would you rather work for someone else for the rest of your life? We’re offering you the opportunity to start your own business and partner with an award-winning broker.”

A Final Vote for Paradise Valley on Nov. 5
By Nick Jensen
Keep your fingers crossed.
Conservation victories are rare. Large development projects, with the backing of local governments, investors, construction workers, and, in some cases, local residents typically proceed at a breakneck pace. In recent months, we have suffered major setbacks on projects like Centennial, and sprawl developments in high wildfire risk areas in San Diego County. But one major project is now trending on the side of conservation. We need your help to clinch this win for the environment.
Just a few months ago, nearly 2,000 acres of desert wildflowers, woodlands, and washes were on the chopping block. The Paradise Valley Development, would turn an area called Shavers Valley, about 15 miles east of Indio on the southern border of Joshua Tree National Park, into a new city with 8,490 new homes, strip malls, and golf courses.
In early 2018, CNPS joined a long list of environmental, social, and community organizations to push back against Paradise Valley. We visited the project site to walk among the flowers, inhale the perfumed air, and marvel at thousands of acres of microphyll woodland. We rallied our respective members to attend and give testimony at public hearings. Our partners organized EcoFlights to give reporters and members of the coalition a broad, aerial perspective of the habitats at stake. Members of our coalition visited elected officials, and worked to obtain ample media coverage on the project. It worked!
In August, we were elated to report that the Riverside County Planning Commission voted to recommend that Paradise Valley be rejected by the board of supervisors. Now, we stand one vote away from putting this project to bed.
But we cannot be complacent. On November 5, let’s pack the supervisors’ chambers in Riverside. Let this be a celebration of desert habitats and good decisions.
On Tuesday, November 5, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors will render a final decision on Paradise Valley. While we can’t be certain about what will result will be, we now have a very real opportunity to compel the supervisors to vote in line with the recommendations of the planning commission. This is to say, victory is nigh!
But we cannot be complacent. On November 5, let’s pack the supervisors’ chambers in Riverside. Let this be a celebration of desert habitats and good decisions. By ensuring a good showing at this hearing we will embolden the supervisors to make a prudent choice that supports wildflowers, tortoises, and the residents of the Coachella Valley. Let this be a time to taste a sweet victory and thank elected officials for standing up for what is right. Who is with me?
Please Join Us
1. Join us at Tuesday’s the Riverside County Board Supervisors’ Meeting
What: Riverside County Board of Supervisors Hearing on Paradise Valley
When: Tuesday, November 5 at 9:30 am
Where: Board Chambers, 4080 Lemon Street, Riverside
2. Send emails addressed to Riverside County Board of Supervisors. Emails should go to the Clerk of the Board (email@example.com) and project planner, Russell Brady (firstname.lastname@example.org), letting them know that you support the planning commission’s recommendation to “deny the project.”

Marmari Port - Evia Island
Marmari Port is located on the south west of Evia Island, at the north side of Marmari Bay. It connects south Evia with Rafina Port (Attica), serving as a sea gate for vehicles, passengers and goods headed to south Evia. The port operates in the northern end of Marmari town and it is characterized by inadequate marine facilities and problematic road access. Along the coast and the sea zone of Marmari a great number of fishing and pleasure boats are moored, with no real protection from waves and without basic services.
The Marmari Port Authority under the supervision of the Department of Public Works of former Evia Prefecture and current Regional Evia Unity contracted in 2012 CNWAY for drafting a long to medium term Master Plan for the port. The Master Plan was approved by the Planning Commission and Port Development (ESAL) on February 2013.
Master Plan Facts:
- Estimated construction cost for phase A (main port facility): 11,460,000 €
- Estimated construction cost for phase B (Small fishing and tourist harbor): 3,570,00 €
- Estimated construction cost for phase C (Access road infrastructure ): 1,170,00€
- Port Capacity after the expansion
- Three (3) ROPAX berths for 100m long vessels, (one external and two inside the port) and two service buildings with a total of 350 sq.m.
- Marshaling yard with a capacity of 180 vehicles
- 275 m of new quay walls
- Total of 13,895 sq.m. of new port land area
- Small fishing harbor capacity: 64 boats up to 20 meters
- Small tourist harbor capacity: 37 boats up to 20 meters with a service building of 120 sq. m.

It’s probably difficult to talk to your parents about a lot of things – no matter your age. But it’s probably most difficult to talk about them dying. You don’t want to think about it, and they definitely don’t want to think about it. You’re stuck in a standstill, trying to figure out how to discuss what will happen after their death without making everyone upset.
As your parents grow older, the necessity of having a plan in place grows more important. A 2021 survey found that while around two-thirds of Americans believe having a will is important, only around one-third have actually created one. The survey also found that lack of understanding around how to create a will has increased by 90% since 2017.
When should I talk to my parents?
The sooner, the better. It might be uncomfortable to broach the subject. But the earlier you discuss estate planning with your parents, the better off your parents – and ultimately, the family they’re leaving behind – will be. Your parents could be among the majority of folks who have yet to tackle the issue of will and estate planning – and may not know how to get started. An informative conversation may help to get the ball rolling.
How should I approach the subject?
Instead of being confrontational about it, take a gentler approach. Do some research on your own beforehand about the benefits of estate planning. This may include protecting your parents’ assets and family wealth, ensuring everything is distributed according to their wishes and minimizing transfer taxes. Use these as positive reinforcements for why your parents should consider taking the time to consult with an attorney to either draft or update their will.
Respect their privacy
Many people do not feel comfortable discussing their finances with their children. Your parents might not be ready to talk about their estate with you. They may not even know what they want to do with their assets. Reassure them that this is okay, and let them know that they have the ultimate decision – despite any of your suggestions. Putting them in touch with an estate-planning professional who can guide them through the process may be useful.
Estate planning is something that’s easy to put off. But when the unexpected happens and plans are not in place, it can have devastating impacts on a family. Ensuring that the family will be protected no matter what the future holds can give everyone peace of mind.

Polina is an undergraduate student at Belarusian State Economic University (BSEU) where she is studying at the faculty of International Business Communication for a degree specializing in Intercultural Communication. In her spare time she enjoys drawing, music and travelling.
The Bitcoin Foundation has developed the new voting system, which records each vote on the blockchain.
The Bitcoin Foundation announced this week that it has completed the development of new blockchain-based voting system, thus ensuring higher level of elections’ transparency.
The Bitcoin Foundation has also partnered with a decentralized crowdfunding platform, called Swarm, which provided each member with a special wallet for voting.
The new system, which is still in the beta version, is ready for its first round of elections. The voting will end on February 28th and the results will be unveiled on March 1st.
“The Bitcoin Foundation is the first to attempt a vote of this kind on the blockchain and we are excited to have our Bitcoin Foundation members participate in this historic moment,” the organization wrote in its blog.
With the new system, the votes of the Foundation’s members will be recorded on the bitcoin blockchain.
“The Foundation’s mission is to advance blockchain technology and this is an important new avenue of innovation,” said new executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation Patrick Murck.
“While we may not have the smoothest experience in this experimental launch, it’s important for us to push the boundaries and spark innovation — even if things get a little messy sometimes,” he added.
The members of the organization responded in different ways. While some supported the move, the others criticized it for a potential bad influence on the voting process.
The initial version of the new voting system appeared to be imperfect, according to feedback from the first users. According to Murck, when the previous Helios voting system was first introduced, the foundation received a lot of complaints too.
“These are growing pains. The important thing to remember is that we are all in this, building the digital economy, together. When we used Helios last year for the first time, we also encountered user confusion and technical issues,” said Brian Goss, Elections Committee Chairman.
“However, because our members provided helpful feedback and pull requests, in the end we were able to make functional improvements to the code so that it works better today than it did yesteryear.”
“In response to the difficulties with user interface and ballot presentation, in order to maintain the integrity of the runoff election, as promised, we are hitting “reboot” and starting over,” the organization stated.
Some in the industry have rebuked the idea of using the blockchain technology for voting, as it is usually applied in the financial sector. Still, Murck noted that the foundation should be open to this type of initiatives.

Taking strong interest in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and IoT, Tatsiana Yablonskaya got deep understanding of the emerging techs believing in their potential to drive the future.
Bitcoin keeps on boosting and Japan has all chances to overtake China in terms of trading activity.
High trading volumes and demand in Japan have been making Bitcoin price creep upward in the previous days. According to statistics, around 50% of daily trading volume comes from Japanese exchanges, arousing speculations that Japan has all chances to overtake China in terms of market share soon. Things are playing out in favor of Japan as China has slowed down trading activity due to the government’s efforts to crack down on cryptocurrency trading.
Although there is an 8% consumption rate tax on purchasing bitcoin at exchanges in Japan, the Yen-Bitcoin trading is booming. At the end of 2016, Japanese officials decided to cancel this tax tariff but the law will be implemented only in July this year.
The decision of the Japanese officials to recognize bitcoin as a legal form of payment shored up the digital currency. Reportedly, 18 companies are planning to get a special license to operate Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges in Japan. It is interesting that more than 10 of these 18 companies are new to the bitcoin ecosystem in the country.
Experts mark the decision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission to review the refusal of the Winklevoss ETF as one more factor that has great influence on the Bitcoin boost.
The refusal of the ETF came unexpected last month as 72% of unbiased advisors had believed in the approval. The decision of the SEC clogged more-than-three-year efforts of investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss to bring the Bitcoin ETF to market.
“As discussed further below, the Commission is disapproving this proposed rule change because it does not find the proposal to be consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and to protect investors and the public interest,” the SEC said.
“The Commission believes that, in order to meet this standard, an exchange that lists and trades shares of commodity-trust exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) must, in addition to other applicable requirements, satisfy two requirements that are dispositive in this matter. First, the exchange must have surveillance-sharing agreements with significant markets for trading the underlying commodity or derivatives on that commodity. And second, those markets must be regulated.”
The SEC stated regulatory uncertainty and the risk of fraud as main reasons for the rejection.

Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance Sets Next Washington Meeting for August 6
Jun 4, 2012
The following article was published in LifeHealthPro on June 4, 2012:
By Elizabeth Festa
The Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance (FACI) will be hosting its second in-person meeting on August 6, weeks later than the proposed June meeting date. They have also assigned members to two subcommittees to assess demographic changes, per Federal Insurance Office (FIO) Director Michael McRaith.
McRaith, along with FACI Chairman Brian Duperreault, president and CEO of the Marsh & McLennan Companies, assigned members to either the Affordability and Accessibility of Insurance Subcommittee or an International Regulatory Balance Subcommittee.
These two subcommittees were asked to assess the impact of two demographic changes McRaith has earlier discussed: (1) the aging of the population in developed countries and the increased longevity of those who are aging –i.e. the silver tsunami, and (2) the development of the middle class in emerging economies and the impact that economic progress in those countries will have on the international insurance marketplace.
According to sources, not a lot of work, if any, has been done so far by the group.
Affordability and Accessibility of Insurance members are:
Birny Birnbaum, a consumer advocate, consulting economist and director of the Center for Economic Justice; Virginia Insurance Commissioner Jacqueline K. Cunningham; Loretta Fuller, CEO of Insurance Solutions Associates Inc.; Nevada Insurance Commissioner Scott Kipper; Christopher Mansfield, senior vice president and general counsel of Liberty Mutual Group; and Washington, D.C., Insurance, Securities and Banking Commissioner William P. White.
International Regulatory Balance members are:
Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Consedine, New York Life Insurance Co. CFO Michael E. Sproule, John Degnan, senior advisor to the CEO of the Chubb Corp.; New York Department of Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky; Scott E. Harrington, Ph. D, of the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania and a scholar for health policy at the American Enterprise Institute; Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Tom Leonardi, Monica Lindeen, Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance and State Auditor; and Sean McGovern, a director and general counsel of Lloyd’s North America, who is the international representative on the panel.
Duperreault will be an ex-officio member of each. He has set July 9 from 2 to 5 pm for the organizational meeting for both Subcommittees.
Duperreault did not respond to requests for comment on FACI.
At the inaugural meeting of the FACI (pronounced “fah-key”), on March 30 in Washington, McRaith steered the group’s first meeting – a nearly three and a-half-hour-long rolling conversation between a collection of disparate forces from across the insurance industry – toward one of the overarching trends he believes needs attention: the demographics of Western society, with its growing middle class and aging/longevity issues.
While McRaith spotlighted the importance of the internationalization of insurance, and the priority of the U.S. to receive fair play globally, he cautioned participants to not focus on specific countries or to get enmeshed in overly specific issues in their FACI advisory roles. Instead, McRaith suggested, they should look at supervision on a broad scale, and address insurance supervision systemically.
McRaith is seeking ever-more knowledge and coordination at all levels. He recently hosted a meeting across federal agencies on their supervisory role in insurance.
The new, government-only group, a self-styled new assembly known as the “Federal Government Insurance Forum,” first met March 22 and revealed the massive internationalization of the insurance markets, according to McRaith, who noted the “numbers are staggering.”
The Forum includes representatives from over 20 U.S. agencies – as far-flung across the supervisory spectrum as the Federal Aviation Administration, the United States Trade Representative’s office and the Overseas Private Investment Corp.

The rest was simple to make. I started by sauteeing onions and garlic in a pan before adding the shrimp. I cooked the shrimp until it was almost cooked through. I then added the coconut milk/salsa mixture and let it come to a simmer. I removed the shrimp and left the sauce in the pan to simmer for a couple of more minutes. I added pumpkin seeds at the last minute for a bit of crunch. I finished by pouring the sauce over the shrimp.
The sauce was delicious and rich, but the tomatillo and lime also brought some freshness into the dish. The pumpkin seeds added a nice crunch as well. I saved some sauce and will be making this again, but perhaps with some cilantro and onion on top.

A Lot or a Little?
What you will—and won't—find in this app.
Ease of Play
Excellent onscreen cues and choice of control layouts help ease you into the game.
Violence & Scariness
Blood splatters on the screen when you are wounded or killed by another player. Brief fistfight at the start of the game.

Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Language in your kid's entertainment guide.Get started
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this super-realistic first-person shooter is violent but there's minimal blood. Online play poses no privacy risk as long as kids don't volunteer personal info.
Is It Any Good?
N.O.V.A. is top-notch first-person shooter entertainment for older teens. You play an ex-Marine fighting aliens to save a space colony. Play starts in a steamy jungle and moves to gritty cargo ships. Fluid graphics and atmospheric sounds - birdsong, the crunch of boots, ragged breathing - make for terrific realism. The care to detail carries over to opposing online players, who appear as fully fleshed out soldiers, not just fleeting graphics.
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

It may be 2022, but in the beauty world, cues pulled from 2002 continue to find favor. Should you have any doubts that Y2K-era trends are still worthy of note, we recommend making your way to Hung Vanngo’s Instagram: The makeup artist shared a snap of Selena Gomez this morning featuring a beauty look that exuded vibes of decades past.
Framed by Gomez’s sleek brunette bob—inward-styled ends and subtle mahogany highlights aiding in the throwback effect—a graphic cat eye became a bit less expected when smudged to achieve a slightly blurred finish. Next, an overlined lip painted in a brickish brown came with a generous swipe of gloss, offering a perfect juxtaposition to Gomez’s matte complexion.
Precise power brows, washes of blush and bronzer, and a hefty dose of attitude proved that, when executed correctly, some details span time and place. Though it looks as if the next trendscape may find us revisiting scene-y Tumblr times, the early-aughts revival has truly transmuted modern beauty for the better.

MARLBOROUGH – Construction is still ongoing at the new Dek hockey rink at Ghiloni Park. In the past, city officials have said that the rink will open this spring.
Instead of skates and pucks, Dek, or street, hockey is played with sneakers, tennis balls, knee pads, gloves and a plastic-blade stick.
The project is a collaboration between the Recreation Department and Mayor Arthur Vigeant’s office.
“I had discussed this project with Bobby Butler prior to COVID, and the city is now able to get this project done,” said Vigeant. “I think our youth will get a lot of enjoyment out of the Dek hockey rink.”
Butler is a resident and Marlborough High alum who played for several teams in the National Hockey League, including the Ottawa Senators. He is currently playing for the Worcester Railers.

Hiring practices in the financial services industry, third-party risk in the technology sector, and a continued focus by the government on individual prosecutions are just a few areas of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement activity in 2019.
“It is very clear that the government’s expectations for compliance programs have evolved significantly and that their expectations are higher now than they ever have been.”
Kara Brockmeyer, former chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s FCPA Unit
Collectively, the latest enforcement actions speak volumes about how companies can minimize their FCPA risk. Prudent compliance officers will also want to use these real-life FCPA cases in their ethics and compliance training to help deter bribery and corrupt practices.
“It is very clear that the government’s expectations for compliance programs have evolved significantly and that their expectations are higher now than they ever have been,” says Kara Brockmeyer, former chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Division’s FCPA Unit and now a partner at law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. The government has indicated as much not only through the “Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs” guidance the Department of Justice has released, but also in the settlement agreements that have been reached.
Particularly notable about this year’s FCPA enforcement numbers is the unusually large quantity of cases—four—that resulted in nine-figure penalties, each case involving widespread bribery schemes that spanned multiple countries over a period of several years. Consider the following:
- Walmart. On June 20, Walmart reached a $283 million settlement to settle SEC charges for violations of the books and records and internal accounting controls provisions of the FCPA for operating “without a system of sufficient anti-corruption related internal accounting controls” for more than a decade. Walmart also entered into a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with the Justice Department.
- TechnipFMC. On June 25, TechnipFMC, a global oil and gas services provider, and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary Technip USA agreed to pay a combined $301.3 million settlement to resolve foreign bribery charges with authorities in the United States and Brazil arising out of two independent bribery schemes: a scheme by Technip to pay bribes to Brazilian officials, and a scheme by FMC to pay bribes to officials in Iraq.
- Fresenius Medical Care. On March 29, German healthcare company Fresenius Medical Care reached a $231 million settlement to resolve parallel investigations by the Department of Justice and the SEC for paying millions in bribes to public officials and doctors to win contracts at hospitals in several countries, including in Angola, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, China, Serbia, Bosnia, and Mexico. Fresenius also entered a three-year non-prosecution (NPA) agreement with the Justice Department.
- MTS. On March 6, Russian telecommunications provider Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) reached an $850 million settlement with both the Justice Department and the SEC to resolve charges that it made at least $420 million in bribery payments to an Uzbek official for the purpose of entering the telecommunications market in Uzbekistan. This was the third FCPA case (following VimpelCom in 2016 and Telia in 2018) to involve the Uzbek telecommunications market.
Many of these cases showcase egregious compliance failures, such as ignoring red flags that pointed to corruption; active engagement in corrupt schemes by senior management; using third-party intermediaries and other channels to funnel bribes to government officials in exchange for business; and falsifying documents.
Concerning specific FCPA risk areas, third-party agents continue to pose a high threat, especially in the technology sector, as demonstrated in the Microsoft and Juniper Networks FCPA settlements this year. Both cases describe very similar schemes, where employees of the companies’ subsidiaries—in Hungary and Russia, respectively—falsely represented steep discounts to end users were necessary in order to conclude a deal. In truth, rather than pass these discounts onto end users, the additional profits were directed to off-book funds held by third-party channel partners used to improperly provide travel and entertainment to government officials.
Under the settlement terms, Microsoft and Microsoft Hungary agreed to pay $25.3 million in combined criminal and civil penalties. Microsoft Hungary also entered an NPA with the Department of Justice. With Juniper Networks, the company agreed to a cease-and-desist order and paid $11.7 million in disgorgement, interest, and civil penalties for violations of the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA.
In the Juniper Networks case, the allegations further describe improper travel practices in China, where certain sales employees of Juniper’s Chinese subsidiaries falsified trip and meeting agendas for customer events that understated the true amount of entertainment involved on the trips. The sales employees submitted these falsified and misleading trip agendas to Juniper’s legal department to obtain event approval. In violation of Juniper’s travel policies, Juniper’s legal department approved numerous trips without adequate review and after the event had occurred.
In Microsoft’s case, even though the NPA acknowledged Microsoft had extensive internal controls in place to prevent payments above a certain threshold, the company was still faulted for failing to exercise “meaningful oversight” over its subsidiary to ensure discounts were passed onto the end customers. “That’s a high burden to meet,” Brockmeyer says. “It basically means the company is going to have to think not just about the program they have in place, but how the company is testing the program to make sure it is actually working and catching situations where employees may be actively lying about their activities.”
What Microsoft did do right—and what compliance officers should take from this case—is it implemented an enhanced system of compliance and internal controls, company-wide; took disciplinary actions against the culpable employees; implemented a new global program to ensure transparency around discounts for government customers; and now uses data analytics to help identify high-risk transactions.
Unlike Microsoft, Juniper Networks did not appear to have a centralized approval or oversight process for discounts. According to the Juniper order, a member of Juniper’s senior management learned of these off-book accounts in late 2009 and instructed employees in Russia to discontinue their use. Even then, the practice didn’t stop until 2013.
The Juniper Networks case, however, serves as a helpful reminder that travel and entertainment (T&E) continue to pose FCPA risk. Moreover, although FCPA enforcement concerning T&E has traditionally focused on international travel and entertainment, Juniper Networks is an example of how even domestic travel and entertainment, where it is unwarranted, can pose an FCPA risk, Brockmeyer says.
Both the Microsoft and Juniper actions further highlight the importance of internal controls around pricing and discounts. Providing guidance and training and instilling controls to ensure the right questions are being asked and right documents are being obtained can help guarantee improper payments aren’t being funneled through the company’s system. Beyond due diligence and contracting procedures, third-party audits might also be necessary to detect such schemes.
In the technology industry, global supply chains inherently pose an FCPA risk, but sometimes the risk grows faster than the company has time to mature, particularly in the event of a merger or acquisition.
“Many tech companies have grown quite rapidly and, often times, there is a lag between that rapid growth and the recognized need by senior management for a more systematic and explicit compliance program,” says Dan Newcomb, a compliance specialist at law firm Shearman & Sterling.
“With some notable exceptions, such as Microsoft, a lot of the tech industry has been slow to put in place very robust compliance programs,” Newcomb says. “When we consult with international tech companies, it is often to help them develop something other than a ‘We don’t pay bribes’ statement in their general corporate policies.”
One notable FCPA enforcement trend on the SEC front, specifically, is the regulator appears to be bringing more standalone charges for violations of the books and records and internal accounting controls provisions under the FCPA, where violations of the anti-bribery provisions are noticeably absent. Microsoft, Walmart, Fresenius, and Juniper Networks are just a few recent examples.
“That shows that companies need to be paying particular attention to their internal controls,” says Matthew Nielsen, a partner at law firm Bracewell. Also, whereas historically FCPA cases have been concentrated in a handful of highly regulated industries—such as oil and gas, life sciences, healthcare, and financial services—it may be that cases start to expand into a broader range of industries.
Take, for example, digital and print marketing provider Quad/Graphics, which reached a $10 million settlement on Sept. 26 with the SEC to resolve charges it engaged in widespread bribery schemes in Peru and China. It’s the typical story of a small, private company that went public and grew too fast without having in place a robust compliance program.
It may be that we start to see more FCPA cases like that, where companies that didn’t, perhaps, think the FCPA applied to them because they weren’t in those focused industries now become a focus, Nielsen says.
Concerning specific FCPA risk areas in the SEC space, hiring practices in the financial services industry continue to generate enforcement actions. On Sept. 27, Barclays became the latest among a growing list of financial institutions to resolve violations of the FCPA for questionable hiring practices. As with other cases of its kind, numerous compliance failures were present.
The Barclays order found that, between 2009 and 2013, Barclays hired the relatives and friends of foreign officials in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region in exchange for business opportunities for the bank. As with similar cases of this kind, the bank’s anti-corruption policy prohibited this behavior, but Barclays employees in the region falsified corporate records to conceal the true source of the candidates and the reasons for hiring them.
Additionally, the SEC order stated Barclays failed to effectively train APAC employees on its policies; limited the scope of its compliance reviews; and, in some instances, turned a blind eye altogether. Without admitting or denying the findings, Barclays settled charges relating to violations of the accounting provisions of the FCPA and paid $6.3 million, including a $1.5 million civil penalty.
This settlement amount pales in comparison to similar FCPA cases in the financial services industry, when considering Deutsche Bank’s $16 million settlement, reached in August; Credit Suisse’s $47 million settlement, reached in June 2018; JP Morgan’s whopping $264 million total settlement reached with three agencies ($130 million to the SEC, $72 million to the Department of Justice, and $62 million to the Federal Reserve) in 2016; and starting with BNY Mellon’s $14.8 million SEC settlement in 2015.
While these hiring cases have been focused on financial services, such a risk is not unique to this industry. Consider, for example, the $7.5 million settlement digital telecommunications maker Qualcomm reached with the SEC in 2016 for hiring relatives of Chinese government officials. “It’s also probably an area that the compliance community until recently didn’t pay enough attention to,” Newcomb says.
Having in place a rigorous process to understand whom the company is hiring and making sure job applicants are being asked the right questions—such as whether they are personally associated with a government official—and ensuring those checks and balances are getting routed through a centralized HR process are all effective internal controls companies need to have in place.
Also notable about recent FCPA enforcement activity is the unusually high number of actions being brought against individuals over the last few years. In 2019 alone, the Department of Justice unsealed FCPA charges against roughly 20 individuals, whereas the SEC brought charges against three individuals—all pertaining to Cognizant’s bribery case.
The broader impact of individual cases on corporate enforcement numbers is that, when the Department of Justice is busy bringing these cases at trial, “that tends to slow down enforcement a little bit, because their resources are stretched,” Brockmeyer says.
While that’s true, any strain on resources likely will be temporary. “More significantly is that those cases going to trial are going to start creating case law,” Matthew Nielsen, a partner at law firm Bracewell, says. Those in the FCPA space finally will start getting answers to questions that have never been challenged at trial before—such as jurisdictional challenges; a company’s obligations to manage third parties; what constitutes ‘reasonable’ controls; and more.
For years, hardly any FCPA cases ever went to trial. “For so long, the Department of Justice and SEC decided what the rules were,” says Nielsen.
My, how the tables have turned.

We talk to Mark Adams, regional director for northern Europe with Cohesity, about the vulnerabilities brought by software-as-a-service (SaaS) data in hybrid cloud working and in combination with on-premise and remote office data.
In this podcast, we look at the challenges for backup and data protection brought by SaaS data, including increased complexity and broadened attack surfaces.
Adams talks about the added headaches brought by the numerous sources of data in hybrid cloud working and ways of mitigating the problem. These include simplifying data management, using a platform-based solution and trying as-a-service solutions.
Antony Adshead: What makes organisations especially vulnerable as their dependence on SaaS applications and SaaS data grows?
Mark Adams: Hybrid, on-premise and multicloud applications, and infrastructure deployments are top priority for many organisations seeking to compete in the current world. It’s an ever-untenable position for IT given the relentless growth of data and lower budgets and security threats.
The hybrid deployment, while providing agility, adds complexity and can expand the attack surface if the organisation fails to adequately manage and protect those data assets.
So, what makes it especially vulnerable for organisations is, as the question said, that in addition to traditional on-prem or edge, you now have SaaS applications and SaaS data. It’s tough for business leaders to know how to safeguard valuable internal and customer data in an increasingly savvy world.
I would split the discussion into the on-prem – because I think there are key differences between on-prem and cloud-based systems including security control, visibility, login, monitoring, etc – but I also think it’s worth talking about SaaS, about the two sides to that discussion too.
So, SaaS applications are one thing, and we could talk about how we would advise business leaders, CIOs, CISOs about that sort of space and SaaS data, which is a whole different space – and probably the troublesome space.
Adshead: Considering security and backup, what steps should business leaders be taking to safeguard data – including SaaS data – in on-prem and hybrid environments?
Adams: The simple answer is, take control of your data. Wherever it is, it is the most competitive asset you have. Not everybody thinks like that but any business that is removed or separated from its data rapidly finds out that’s the case.
It’s always best to have your own copy of your own data – so your own backup, your own protection and recovery in place, wherever it is.
Mark Adams, Cohesity
Because of that, [you should] simplify the data management so if you’ve got strong on-prem capabilities, bring that SaaS data into that core data management so that you can have a coherent, single set of policies for all your data.
That’s where if you can bring everything into your current data management system then you should really be looking for a modern 21st century platform-based alternative so that you can simplify the SaaS data from SaaS applications alongside your ROBO [remote/branch office], your edge and more importantly your on-prem.
You should try, I would suggest, some of the data management-as-a-service because you can do that easily. You can do that with a modern solution and without buying infrastructure, so it lets you at least spend some time and focus on those key business-critical tasks.
And you should protect data that you move to the cloud in a way that makes sense for you. A platform base is the strongest. It’s very modern, it’s very extensible, so it’s got some future-proofing about it.
But again, one set of policies across on-prem, cloud, as-a-service, lets you navigate, lets you manage, lets you control, allows you to provide data governance and extends the value of that data you have by having a platform that lets you plan ahead.
Read more about SaaS and backup
- Cloud-to-cloud backup – when native cloud protection is not enough: There’s a certain amount of protection built into cloud services, but it has its limits and full data protection requires that cloud data is secured with cloud-to-cloud backup.
- SaaS data protection is a challenging but critical task: Don’t fall victim to a SaaS backup gap. Ensure critical data in cloud-based SaaS applications has proper protection, especially with increased cloud use.

We’d add this little bundle of taste to every little thing from chicken inventory to Boeuf Daube Provencal. A basic French cooking time period, a bouquet garni is a cheesecloth that’s filled with herbs, spices, and typically chopped carrots, celery, and onion (often known as a mirepoix).
Restaurant Training: Getting Employees Back on Track
The distinction of Chef vs. Cook in all probability got its actual start again in the Middle Ages, when guilds of cooks were shaped in France, each with different focuses. Eventually, these roles advanced into a correct method to arrange a industrial kitchen in France, and many professional kitchens make use of no less than a few of these roles right now. You have the Executive Chef, who does menu planning, purchasing, high quality control, and lots of the business work. Saucier makes the sauces, Pastry Chef makes the breads and desserts, and so forth.
It’s tremendous straightforward to get in the weeds when cooking for friends and family, and tensions run even larger in a professional restaurant. Time ticks away pretty shortly when you have garlic cooking in scorching oil. The distinction between golden brown and black and burnt can be as little as a few seconds. If you’re not prepared to add the following ingredient to the pan, you may wreck what’s in there proper now.
By studying the industry both regionally and globally, students from Walnut Hill College can increase their data and thrive wherever their careers take them. Located on several campuses all through the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan space, Metropolitan Community College-Nebraska is a public, profession-targeted faculty. Located in New York State’s Catskill Mountains, the State University of New York at Delhi (SUNY Delhi) is a regionally accredited technology-centered college. The faculty ranks among the many high 20 regional universities within the North (U.S. News and World Report) and is home to a famend, ACF-accredited Culinary Arts program.
While we endured traditionally excessive temperatures, the Museum’s Chef Bednar helped us discover traditions of chilling out within the kitchen with chilly foods. We thought of naturally cooling food and drinks, and appeared for strategies to place summertime produce to work in cold dishes. How do fresh ingredients from a farm’s harvest season affect the chef’s table?
Crowdsourcing Recipes During A Pandemic
After finishing this diploma, students will understand the totally different phrases of know-how utilized in restaurants and bars, tips on how to organize seating arrangements, and the way to handle and control food and drink supplies. Students may also study the fundamentals of hospitality, sales, accounting, payroll, in addition to tips on how to market their restaurant. Following healthful recipes is simpler if you perceive cooking vocabulary. Whether you are new to the kitchen or simply need a refresher, understanding the basics of frequent cooking techniques will assist you to navigate through recipes and get wholesome meals on the table with ease.
In right here you’ll find at least 30 totally different egg recipes ranging from a traditional French omelette to quiche to souffle. Here’s a lesson we discovered in a short time—in a restaurant kitchen, wasted food means lost income. A good chef will do something potential to stop this, even if it means finding a use for even the most obscure sounding elements. In class, when breaking down hen, filleting fish, or deboning a leg of lamb, we’d all the time save the bones for inventory.

“He’s just not paying attention in meetings!” “She’s just not the same person right now.” “It’s like he doesn’t care anymore about his work!” “She missed her deadline.” These are all things people are saying about their colleagues right now.
I get it. You’re frustrated at work. Not everyone is carrying their weight in the same reliable way as they were before March of 2020. But, this is the thing. There is more going on behind that work from home computer screen than you know. The pandemic is not impacting everyone equally. It’s just not. And it is very likely that your coworkers will not feel comfortable to tell you just what’s going on in their personal lives.
For example, you may have one coworker who is trying to homeschool their children while maintaining their job. Another may be in poor health themselves, and they may not be able to venture outside for the things they need. Some people are dealing with aging parents who are homebound. Other colleagues may have family members who are dealing with terminal illness, while this is all going on. Some people have lost family members or friends and have been unable to grieve in the normal way. Single people have often been completely removed from other human beings for months, longing for real connection. And, some people have someone in their house who has COVID.
We tend to believe that hard work is the answer to everything. If you want to make your way to the top, you’ve got to climb. The best person should win. It’s a little like Darwin. But, really, we are facing a global pandemic. It’s worse than anything we’ve likely ever experienced in our lifetime, and on a massive, massive scale that is extending on for months.
People are struggling. They have good days. They have bad days. And, they have some very bad days. It doesn’t make the person less worthy of the job they had in February. And, I get it. We have to make money in order for businesses to stay in business.
This situation reminds me of growing up in Oklahoma. We had tornadoes; really big, destructive tornadoes. Sometimes, one would come through and tear up entire neighborhoods. People would be without homes, without water, and without power for days. The only way they survived was this: together. They pulled together, and together, they all made it out.
That’s what we have to do here. I know, it’s frustrating. It feels unfair when you have to do a little more work than normal. It’s upsetting when a coworker is late on something they promised you. It’s annoying when someone takes a day off for their mental health out of the blue.
But, this is the reality we’re living in. To make it out, we need to do it together. And, we need to do it with empathy for one another.

Automotive Defect Lawsuit
Car owners do not often consider the possibility of manufacturing defects that may affect the safety or performance of their vehicles. As one of the largest investments a consumer makes, automobiles are expected to be reliable, safe and of a level of quality that equals their price tags. However, automotive defects can and do occur.
Auto defects can be costly to repair, cause inconvenience and frustration for the owner, and in the worst-case scenario, may result in an accident. If an accident occurred as the result of an automotive defect, you may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer or dealership for damages. Seek legal guidance from our automotive defect attorneys today – call us at 215-642-2335 — and we’ll help investigate your accident and take appropriate legal action.
Types of Automotive Defects
Your vehicle can be affected by a defect during the manufacturing process, while at the dealership or elsewhere in the distribution process. If you are unsure of your legal rights if the defect caused the accident, automotive defect lawyers from our firm can help you.
There are several types of commonly seen automotive defects. The following list describes some of them.
- Safety system defects: These types of defects are often very serious because they affect the safety of the driver and passengers within the vehicle. Faulty seat belts, air bags or headlights can cause serious accidents that lead to injury or even death. Warning systems such as tire pressure monitors or reverse warnings also can result in safety issues and serious accidents.
- Mechanical defects: Also a potential safety concern, mechanical systems are expected to be reliable and in good working condition at all times in both new and used vehicles. Faulty brake systems, engines that can catch fire, suspension failures and overheating of certain parts can cause accidents.
- Design defects: When a vehicle has design flaws, it may be more prone to rollovers or losing control on the road. These are also safety problems that put drivers and others on the road at risk.
- Tire defects: A defective tire can put vehicle occupants at serious risk of an accident because the tires are the vehicle’s sole physical connection with the road. If a tire blowout occurs, the driver may be involved in an accident.
Filing an Automotive Defect Claim after an Accident
In an automotive defect claim, you must be able to identify the responsible party. This could be the auto manufacturer, tire manufacturer, parts manufacturer or another entity involved in the production or distribution of the defective part or vehicle.

This week Apple CEO Tim Cook took to Twitter to announce the company is making face shields, at a production target of one million per week, for healthcare professionals. (This is on top of the 20 million facemasks that supply-chain wiz Cook managed to summon up for donation.)
Like many of you, I screenshotted the crap out of the video, hoping to get a definitive look at the design:
Alas, it's not possible to see much detail:
It does look like they've done away with the bulkier forehead strip of the incumbent design, which makes me quite curious. I'm also wondering whether what you see above is the finished object, or if they will be adding some type of foam on the forehead strip. Any guesses?

This brief describes how the UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme to End Child Marriage has adapted its interventions to ensure we continue to reach and protect girls at risk of child marriage and already married girls during the pandemic.

In today’s highly regulated markets it is not just important, but critical that operational managers are working shoulder to shoulder with compliance management to ensure that the company stays in line with the ever-changing regulations.
Compliance is not only the job of the compliance management team but every individual to ensure that you can track everyone’s individual efforts in ensuring the company is compliant.
In order to remain fully complaint, Compliance and Operations must work with the Human Resources aspects of compliance, as well as the audit, control, proof of compliance and timeliness and then look to enhance compliance capabilities over the underlying existing systems.
So how can Corporate Modelling‘s leading BOWFO solution OPX help with these? Let’s look at these aspects of compliance in turn. In part 1 of this blog series we will looks at Human Resources and Compliance and Process Adherence and Compliance.
Human Resources and Compliance
The FCA handbook states that as a principle of business a firm should employ personnel with the skills, knowledge and expertise necessary to discharge their duties.
OPX has an in-depth skills matrix which can be configured not just to have details about the skills associated with Clients, Processes, Activities and Product classes and features, but can be extended to include any skills required for a specific business object such as a Policy or Account. If for example, a product needs a suitable qualification in order to work with it simply add this in as a Skill against the uploaded stub by adding a Certificate field and the appropriate value and then any individual administrator would require this certificate to be able to process the work.
Skills in OPX are also held at various levels such as experienced or trainee; these are user configurable. You can also set up an OPX task to deprecate skills if they are not used for a specific period. If after say, 30 or 60 days, this skill is deprecated if not used or the skill level is reduced. Therefore, work will not be routed to a person until they are retrained or when this is overridden manually by the team leaders. Team leaders can get skills based reports showing what skills will expire as well as all the other skill based reports available to them that show their team capabilities.
Process Adherence and Compliance
OPX allows you to allocate specific activities to specific skills, thus allocate work to skilled individuals. This allows for example, the implementation of a solution for the segregation of duties.
An organisation should normally ensure that no single individual has unrestricted authority to do all of the following:
(1) initiate a transaction
(2) bind the firm
(3) make payments
(4) account for them
OPX can ensure that the authorisation step in a process is not carried out by the same person that has worked on the case in this process to date. This can ensure that the process does not break the first two or three steps when used in conjunction with the process activities skills and your job role descriptions.
OPX also has a comprehensive Checklist and Webform system. Checklists can be configured in a similar manner to online surveys and can be launched before or after the user is presented with a case to work on (or after they complete the case). This isn’t just a simple tick box system, this can be used to track the work that an individual has carried out, the appropriate checks defined by compliance, and as with all things in OPX, this can then be easily reported on. This can be made mandatory to ensure that administrators are complying with the process; we call this Process Adherence.
Web Forms are a powerful ‘catch all’, allowing the operations team’s super users (users who configure the system and work in operations) to create sophisticated web data entry pages and associated reports. These can be simple, one page data entries or multi-page, with or without business rules for validation and have a host of features. Web forms can be executed by the administrators when required and in the next release of OPX, we will provide the ability for the web forms to be launched before or after a case is handled and associated with the case for easy reporting by compliance.
In Part 2 we’re discussing Audit and Control, Underlying Systems and Timeliness. If you would like further information about OPX in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

If Jesus had an Obituary – We often place an obituary for someone that died … I saw this on a fellow Facebook friend’s wall in 2012. The author is unknown. If you know who wrote this, please let me know so I can give proper credit for this. These points point out points that are found within the Bible. I hope that you find encouragement within these words to help you stay on God’s narrow path.
If Jesus had an Obituary
Before we go to If Jesus had an Obituary lets look at what one is. The first part of the word is latin, Obit meaning death. Obituaries announce the deaths of loved ones since the 18th Century. With some findings showing as early as the 16th century. Including some Obituaries in the 19th century were written in verse format that such as poetry. (Obituaries were not around in the time of Jesus!) Again this is just this unknown authors point of view on what the obituary of Jesus could have read back then. It would not have been in English either!
Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the place of the skull. Betrayed by the Apostle Judas, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, by order of the Ruler Pontius Pilate. The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood.
Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, was a member of the house of David. He was the Son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, and Mary, His devoted Mother. Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His mother Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples, and many other followers.
Jesus was self-educated and spent most of his adult life working as a Carpenter and a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor.
Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father`s Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death.
The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family.
By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb. Roman soldiers were put on guard.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to live as Jesus did. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.The Author is Unknown
Christ Arose from the Dead
The greatest thing of all is Christ arose from the dead three days after his death. He is alive! Check out this blog post of mine No Bones About It — Jesus is Alive! Why did I share this with you? This is a good statement of life of Jesus Christ. So actually we don’t need an obituary for someone who is alive! But this could have been written for his death before Christ was Resurrected.
We are alive in Christ if we truly accept Him as our Lord and Savior, as we, are alive in Him. He gives us eternal life in Heaven.
You can also look at it another way that Jesus Christ did leave his obituary … His whole life is found within the Bible both Old and New Testament.If Jesus had an obituary, this is how it might have read … Click To Tweet
That’s what Easter is all about celebrating the risen Savior. Jesus came was born of a virgin. He died on the cross to save us from our sins. He was buried in a tomb that was sealed. Then three days later He arose from the dead, conquering death and sin.

Weekly Meal Plan Week 20 - 10 amazing bloggers bringing you a full week of recipes including dinner, sides dishes, and desserts!
Weekly Meal Plan 20
So....today is THE DAY. It's New Horsey Day! For those of you who are new to the blog I have fabulous news. We bought our horse's daughter. She's being delivered today.
Here's a little back story to all of this. I grew up adoring horses, but my Dad was not a huge fan. It's a long story but let's just say someone he cared about was very seriously injured by one.
However on odd occasions I would ride at friend's or relative's places. There's something about horses that just brings out the calm in me. They're good for the mind, and soul.
Cut to me being an adult and having kids. When my daughter was almost 4 we asked her what sport she wanted to play. Mini-me looked at us and said horseback riding.
We laughed because she didn't know I used to ride. She was 4 when she started. By 6 she was in western lessons. By 8 she switched to english. Then jumping began and that was that.
When she was about 8 or so I thought to myself "wouldn't it be nice if I took some lessons". One lesson a week turned to 2, then 3, then half leasing a horse, then full leasing a horse.
Then we met an Arabian horse named Ginger and our world was never the same. We basically took over her expenses and care for a year so we could ride her without sharing her.
Never in a million years did we think her owner would sell her. One day he called and offered for us to buy her. One condition, he'd give us a deal on price if we let him breed her once.
Ginger was bred and she went through her pregnancy with us riding her until she got too uncomfortable. Which was almost right up until her due date. She was a trooper.
On Ginger's birthday she gave birth to her daughter, Gigi. We fell in love with her. We imprinted her immediately and she stayed with us until weaning time. It was amazing.
Once she was weaned she went off with her owner. We've visited her regularly every summer and kept in close touch with her owner. He lives on a property about 30 minutes from us.
This summer he called to ask if we'd be interested in buying Gigi. My daughter hoped from the day she was born this would happen, but we never thought it would.
We worked out all the details carefully. You see Gigi is 9 years old and no one has ever ridden her. If you know anything about horses you realize the weight of that statement.
After a lot of talking we decided it was worth the financial, emotional and time investment we'd be making to take her in. So today she comes home. I still can't wrap my head around it.
Gigi is a bit of a special horse. Not only did we help raise her but she's our horse's last baby, as well as the stallion's last baby. She is the last in the line of both parents, which is a big deal.
I'm not going to lie, the idea we may get to ride together with the horses is such a cool concept. Mother and Daughter get to ride together on Mother and Daughter horses.
I'm really hoping training goes well with Gigi, and that Ginger ages gracefully so we have a couple of years of riding time together. Ginger is 28 years old, so she's getting up there.
Our hope is that the girls get along and training goes well. We'll get to spend time together at the barn which for moms and daughters is a super cool thing.
So that's the big news. It's super cool if you're a horse person. If not you probably just read "blah, blah, blah". I glaze over when people talk about sports so I can relate. Completely.
For those who are thinking "OMG these people must be rich, and live in a mansion, and sleep on beds of money". NOPE! Not even remotely close to the truth.
My daughter goes to university and works 3 jobs to pay her own way in life. My kids don't get handed anything. She's worked her butt off to save for this.
She was gone for 4 months this summer in the military and saved every penny. We're not rich. We live in a tiny house, rarely vacation or shop, drive used cars and have old furniture.
I never thought owning horses was a possibility. We know it means giving up a lot, but we also know how lucky we are. We never take it for granted. Not one little bit.
If you're interested in seeing photos of her arrival today follow me on Instagram. I can't wait to welcome Gigi home. 9 years of wishing for Mini-me's dream to come true.
Kitchen is CLOSED - Enjoy a night off from cooking!
In loving Memory of our dear friend Joan

If you have a sign with COA, you are already well aware of the value of your sign. Bench advertising has been proven to trump other forms of local advertising time after time. The return on investment far exceeds other forms of local advertising. Adding a QR code to your messaging will also enhance the effectiveness of your sign and extend your reach to your potential clients.
A QR code is a smart phone readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares. Each code is unique and is typically used for storing URLs or other useful information by the camera on a smart phone.
A simple QR Code on your bench sign can provide interactivity (digital-online) for anyone that uses a smart phone. And who doesn’t carry a smart phone with them everywhere nowadays?
The QR code will conveniently connect anyone who has seen your sign to instant content at a web page using a QR code reader app.
Imagine if you are a realtor and your bench sign has a QR code, someone can effortlessly scan your code and be directed to your online home page to see your listings in an instant. Or if you are a car dealership, a QR code can easily let your clients know what is in your inventory. Even a restaurant’s QR code can let patrons know the specials you have cooking this week.
The use of QR codes on your bench sign is endless. It is an effective way to direct the public from your static bench sign to a wealth of information that can literally be updated at your fingertips.
The next time you are designing your COA bench sign, consider the use of a QR code.

The Icelandic Case
Topic of the case work is implementing circular economy and zero waste strategies into municipalities in Iceland by using the town of Hveragerði as a pilot town.
The case will show how all residents are a part of a chain and that this chain is only as strong as its weakest link. What that means is that low-skilled residents play just as big a part of the projects as other residents, making them appreciate their own importance. The act of decision making on a municipality level is thought of as empowering in itself, especially if these decisions will be a part of everyday life.
The plan is to empower residents by allowing locals to participate in the design, implementation, and access to monitoring data of local waste management with the goal of creating a Zero waste plan.
The overall goal with the circular economy and zero waste initiative is to keep material longer in the usage/production phase and eliminate valuable material from landfill or in-cremation. This will reduce overall CO2 emission from the waste category.
By reducing waste going to landfill or in-cremation there is a reduction of CH4 and CO2 escaping into the atmosphere and at the same time, there is a reduction of chemical flow into the groundwater from landfills.
By educating change agents about the circular economy and zero waste, the user behavior will be affected, both regarding how they buy material as well as how they manage household waste into the right recycling fraction.

Public Health England (PHE) are launching a new study to understand vaccine escape and probe the factors influencing COVID-19 immunity.
A consortium of academic partners, including the Francis Crick Institute, will receive £1.5million in funding from UKRI to understand why some people become infected after vaccination or prior infection while others do not. Together researchers will assess detailed immune system response to COVID-19 infections and vaccinations in people enrolled in the SIREN study.
They will seek to answer a number of additional questions, including how long immunity from vaccinations lasts, how the timeline differs between the different vaccines and how changes in the SARS-CoV-2 virus genetic make-up might aid the virus in evading the immune system.
Individuals enrolled in the study are given PCR tests every two weeks as well as regular antibody blood tests. The antibody results of those individuals who test positive for COVID-19 despite having had two doses of the vaccine or a previous confirmed infection, called a ‘breakthrough’ infection, will be analysed by further specialised tests and clinical interviews to determine whether there are aspects of their immune response that differ from individuals who do not contract COVID-19.
Using gold-standard assays developed in-house, researchers at the Crick will be building on the experience and findings of the Legacy study, a large prospective research project, tracking vulnerability to COVID-19 in individuals. They will be analysing the antibody responses of people who experience a breakthrough infection to help understand what the risk factors are and inform protective measures moving forward.
Rupert Beale, head of the Crick’s Cell Biology of Infection Laboratory, said: “Understanding immunity is crucial to the pandemic response. We are teaming up with PHE and partners across the UK to get the best measurements of the body’s immune response after vaccination.
“We would like to understand which aspects of the immune response are the best predictors of vaccine efficacy. This will let us target additional doses of vaccine to people who might need them, and will inform the design of next generation vaccines to get better protection against emerging viral variants.”
Participants may also be asked if they would like to participate in analysis of their genetic code via GENOMICC, to see if there are particular mutations in their DNA that might predict a poor response to vaccination.
Professor Susan Hopkins, COVID-19 Strategic Response Director at Public Health England at PHE said: “Understanding the immune response is essential not only to determine who is most at risk of infections after vaccination, but also for vaccine developers who can target key components of the immune response effectively for future boost vaccines.
“We are pleased that this funding will allow us to better understand immunity and are very grateful to the nearly 50,000 participants who have given up their time to take part in the study.”

It's no secret to every teenager and young adult that you have to be 21 before you can legally drink, buy, or own alcohol. You also can't sell or provide alcohol to an underage person. Anyone who sells or provides alcohol to a minor commits a crime regardless of the state, though state laws differ widely in their details.
This article will discuss the penalties for selling or providing alcohol to a minor. The term "minor" can be a bit misleading, as it typically refers to anyone younger than 18. But for liquor laws, minors include anyone younger than the legal drinking age of 21.
State laws prohibit selling or furnishing alcohol to minors. Some states use the terms provide or supply. No matter what terms are used, these laws prohibit any form of furnishing, giving, or providing liquor to minors, including when no money changes hands.
Selling alcohol is pretty straightforward. But what does it mean to supply or furnish alcohol to a minor? A wide range of actions actually. For instance, you supply alcohol by:
You don't have to specifically hand over the alcohol or give it directly to the underage person to be convicted of supplying alcohol to a minor.
While knowingly supplying a minor with alcohol does not have to involve money or overtly giving the alcohol to the underage person, the law does require that the accused knowingly provides the alcohol. This means that the accused intended to give the alcohol, or intended that his or her actions result in the underage person acquiring alcohol.
Courts have held, for example, that you cannot be convicted of supplying alcohol to a minor if you are simply indifferent to an underage person drinking. Similarly, if you are a property owner and you grant your permission to have a party on that property knowing that underage people may be there, that is not enough to show that you intended to provide underage people with alcohol.
The laws prohibiting supplying alcohol to minors apply to everyone, not just establishments that serve or sell alcohol. Courts have broadly applied these laws to include any act of providing alcohol to underage people, even when the person supplying the alcohol is another underage person.
It can be. In many situations, minors might try to obtain liquor by using fake IDs, lying about their age, or through other methods of appearing older than they are. States approach this situation very differently.
In some states, the law requires the seller to take specific steps, such as inspecting a buyer's identification and even requiring the buyer to fill out a declaration of age. As long as the seller takes this step and still sells alcohol to a minor, sellers can avoid a conviction by showing they took all the required steps. However, in other states, selling to a minor is a strict liability offense. This means that if a seller sold alcohol to a minor, it doesn't matter what steps the seller took, as any sale to a minor is prohibited. Still other states allow a mistake about the buyer's age to factor into a court's decision when it determines what sentence is appropriate.
While some states prohibit anyone from providing alcohol to a minor, others provide an exception for parents or legal guardians. In states with a parental exception, parents or legal guardians can provide an underage person alcohol in a home environment as long as the parent or guardian is present at the time. Similar exceptions are also made for alcohol used in religious ceremonies or for medicinal purposes.
Most states punish the sale or furnishing of alcohol to minors as a misdemeanor. However, state laws on alcohol sales to minors differ significantly, and the potential penalties involved can be very different between one state and another. Felony penalties might apply if a defendant is a repeat offender or if the minor was seriously injured or killed as a result of the illegal supplying or selling of alcohol. Anyone convicted of selling or providing alcohol to a minor usually faces a range of penalties.
Misdemeanor offenses are defined as those that have a potential penalty of up to one year in a local jail. Not all convictions result in the maximum possible sentence. Providing alcohol to an underage person may result in a jail sentence of a few days or a few months or no jail at all.
Felony-level offenses carry the possibility of prison time, usually with maximum sentences of one to five years. The circumstances of the case and state law will determine what sentences are appropriate.
In lieu of, or in addition to, a jail or prison sentence, a court may impose a probation sentence for a conviction of selling or supplying alcohol to a minor. Probation terms typically last six to 12 months for misdemeanors, though they can be longer. Felony probation may last years. Defendants on probation must usually regularly report to a probation officer and meet other specific requirements as imposed by the court. Failing to comply with any requirement may result in a court ordering the convicted person to jail or prison.
Like jail sentences, fines for selling or supplying alcohol to a minor differ depending on the severity of the crime and the state in which you live, though fines can be steep for either. A misdemeanor conviction for supplying alcohol to an underage person can result in fines up to $5,000, though fines of $500 to $1,000 are more common. Felony fines tend to be much higher and can exceed $50,000.
Establishments and organizations that sell alcohol must have a state liquor license. When licensed organizations sell alcohol to minors, either intentionally or unintentionally, they may lose their liquor license. The state liquor administrative agency can suspend a licensee's liquor license, or even revoke it if there have been repeated violations. A licensed retailer may also be subject to other penalties, such as administrative fines for each violation that occurred.
Criminal charges for supplying or selling alcohol to minors are serious, especially if your business depends on a liquor license or someone has been injured because of the minor's actions after consuming the alcohol. Even if you're being charged with a first offense, it's in your best interests to speak to a criminal defense attorney before you speak to the police, prosecutors, or anyone else. A criminal defense attorney not only knows how to protect your legal rights but also has personal experience with the local courts and prosecutors. You want a good attorney on your side so you can be protected at every stage of the criminal justice process.

Iowa law sets forth a number of assault-related crimes. The crime of misdemeanor assault involves intentionally causing pain or injury to another person or placing another person in fear of offensive physical contact or injury.
A felony assault is one that causes serious injury or occurs in the commission of another felony or sex crime. For more information, see Iowa Felony Assault Laws. Iowa also has a separate crime called assault with a dangerous weapon, discussed in Assault with a Dangerous Weapon in Iowa.
All of these crimes, however, hinge on the basic definition of assault, which in Iowa is:
Actual injury is not required for a crime to be called an assault, nor is actual physical contact.
(Iowa Code Ann. § 708.1.)
Examples of misdemeanor assault might include hitting, pointing a knife at, or threatening to hurt someone in a dark, deserted alley. The law does set certain limits on what can be considered an assault, however. For instance, it carves out exceptions for most voluntary sports or social activities, and for use of force by school employees who intervene to break up a fight or otherwise restore order.
Iowa punishes assaults that are intended to cause serious injury or that actually cause bodily injury or mental illness more severely than others, as described below. What constitutes these types of injury?
A "serious injury" is one that creates a risk of death, or causes permanent disfigurement or sustained loss or impairment to any body part. Examples of serious injuries provided by the statute include skull and rib fractures and injuries to children that require surgery. Other examples might include gunshot wounds to the chest or knife wounds to the throat.
"Bodily injury" would be any injury that does not rise to the level of a serious injury, such as a bruise or a small cut.
A "disabling mental illness", such as severe post-traumatic stress disorder, could also be considered a serious injury. A mental illness that is not disabling, such as a short-lived period of anxiety, would probably not qualify as a serious injury.
(Iowa Code Ann. § 702.18.)
Someone who assaults one of the following types of employees in Iowa can expect increased punishment, as explained below:
The prosecutor must show that the defendant was aware of the victim's occupation. Such awareness can often be presumed from the circumstances. For example, a defendant who commits an assault against a hospital doctor was presumably aware of the victim's occupation.
(Iowa Code Ann. § 708.3A.)
An assault is a hate crime when committed because of the victim's own (or due to the victim's association with a person of a particular) religion, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, political affiliation, age, or disability. Hate crimes are punished more severely, as explained below.
(Iowa Code Ann. § § 708.2C, 729A.2.)
Assault in Iowa will be punished as an aggravated misdemeanor when it is intended to cause serious injury, but does not actually cause serious injury, or is against a protected employee or constitutes a hate crime and causes bodily injury or mental illness. Using or displaying a dangerous weapon can also be an aggravated misdemeanor, though if the weapon is intended to be used to injure or intimidate another person, the crime is treated as a felony. Aggravated misdemeanors are punishable by up to two years in jail and a fine of $625 to $6,250.
(Iowa Code Ann. § § 708.2, 708.2C, 708.3A, 903.1.)
A serious misdemeanor assault in Iowa is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $315 to $1,875 when it causes bodily injury or mental illness or is against a protected employee or is a hate crime.
If no other law applies, Iowa law considers an assault to be a simple misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of $65 to $625.
(Iowa Code Ann. § § 708.2, 708.2C, 708.3A, 903.1.)
Assaults between family and household members are considered domestic violence in Iowa. Perpetrators are subject to increased punishment and in many cases, mandatory treatment. Family and household members include people who live together or have lived together in the past years, spouses who are divorced or separated, people who have children together, and people who have recently dated one another. For more information, see Iowa Domestic Violence Laws.
(Iowa Code Ann. § 708.2A.)
Someone who is convicted of misdemeanor assault in Iowa may be looking at a punishment of up to two years in jail as well as a fine and a criminal record. Then again, a defendant might—most likely with legal help—be able to get the charges reduced or dismissed, or obtain a not guilty verdict at trial.
If you are charged with assault, an Iowa criminal defense attorney will be able to tell you how your case is likely to fare in court based on the facts, and on the identity and typical approach taken by the local judge and prosecutor. If you are facing an assault charge, you should contact a criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the court system and achieve the best outcome in your case.

Yes, crocs are suitable for camping because of their comfort, slip-resistance and waterproof features. However, it is important to consider the terrain of the camping site, as crocs may not provide adequate protection in rough terrains or rocky grounds.
Camping enthusiasts need to dress appropriately for the activity, and footwear is one of the most crucial aspects of camping gear. With that said, crocs have become a popular choice for outdoor activities, especially camping due to their ease of use, durability and versatility.
They are lightweight and easy to slip on and off, making them perfect for late-night trips to the restroom or a quick dip in the lake. In this article, we will take a closer look at the pros and cons of wearing crocs for camping, tips on choosing the right crocs for your camping trip, and how to maintain and clean them after use.
Pros Of Wearing Crocs For Camping
Crocs have been a subject of debate when it comes to choosing the right footwear for camping. Some campers swear by the comfort and convenience of these rubber shoes, while others refuse to even consider them. In this blog post, we will discuss the pros of wearing crocs for camping and help you make an informed decision before packing your next camping trip.
Let’s dive into it with the first heading.
Discuss How Crocs Are Lightweight And Easy To Pack In Camping Gear.
- Crocs are made of lightweight material such as croslite foam, making them an excellent choice for camping and outdoor activities. They weigh as little as 0.87lbs, which is about a quarter of the weight of a typical pair of hiking boots, making them easy to carry on the go.
- The design of crocs means they are also collapsible, which makes them perfect for packing in a cramped car or backpack. Their flexibility lets you tuck them into small spaces in your camping gear without worrying about damaging them.
Explain How Crocs Are Comfortable And Easy To Slip On And Off.
- Crocs are perfect for relaxing your feet, eliminating the need for elaborate footwear. They come in various styles, including the classic clogs, flip-flops, sandals, and slides, allowing you to choose the best option based on your preferences.
- The cushioning and arch support of crocs make them incredibly comfortable to wear when outdoors, whether you are hiking or sitting by the campfire. Even when your feet are tired, you can slip them on with ease and relieve the pressure on your feet. Crocs are especially beneficial for campers with foot issues or those who require orthotics because they offer better support than regular shoes.
Mention How Crocs Are Durable And Can Withstand Various Terrains.
- Crocs may seem flimsy at first glance, but they are incredibly durable and can withstand a variety of terrains. They are water-resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for camping trips where you may encounter mud or water.
- The design and structure of crocs means they can handle rough terrain, including sharp rocks, gravel, and even thorns. Additionally, they are slip-resistant, which is an essential factor when walking on wet or muddy surfaces.
The pros of wearing crocs for camping include being lightweight and easy to pack, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off, as well as being durable and able to withstand various terrains. Remember, while they may not be suitable for all campers, they are a great option for those who prioritize comfort, convenience, and durability when selecting camping footwear.
Cons Of Wearing Crocs For Camping
Can You Wear Crocs For Camping?
Camping is a fun and exciting activity that requires proper gear, and this includes footwear. But what about wearing crocs for camping? Crocs are popular for their comfort and versatility, but are they appropriate for a camping trip? We will focus on the cons of wearing crocs for camping.
Lack Of Ankle Support And Stability
Crocs are designed to be lightweight and breathable, which makes them comfortable to wear. However, they lack ankle support and stability, which can be problematic when walking on uneven terrain. Since camping involves hiking and exploring different areas, this can increase the risk of ankle injuries.
- Crocs have an open design, which means that your foot is not secured in place. This can cause your foot to slip, especially when walking on wet or slippery surfaces.
- Due to the lack of ankle support, walking on rough terrain or uneven surfaces can cause your ankles to roll over, leading to potential injuries.
Not Suitable For Colder Temperatures Or Wet Conditions
Camping can involve unpredictable weather, including cold temperatures and rain. While crocs are suitable for warm weather, they may not be appropriate for colder temperatures or wet conditions.
- Crocs are made of foam material, which does not insulate your feet in cold weather, making your feet feel cold and uncomfortable.
- When it comes to rainy weather, crocs can become slippery, and the open design allows water to enter, making your feet wet.
Not Appropriate For Hiking Or Rough Terrain
Camping often involves hiking or walking on rocky terrain, which can be dangerous when wearing crocs.
- The lack of traction and stability can cause you to slip and possibly lead to serious injuries, especially on rugged terrain.
- Crocs have a soft plastic sole, making them unsuitable for hiking and walking on rocks.
While crocs are comfortable, lightweight, and breathable, they are not suitable for camping due to their lack of ankle support and stability, unsuitability for colder temperatures or wet conditions, and not appropriate for hiking or rough terrain. It is always important to choose appropriate footwear when camping to ensure your safety and protect your feet from potential injuries.
Alternatives To Wearing Crocs For Camping
Are you planning an outdoor camping trip? If so, you might be wondering what the most appropriate footwear option is for the occasion. While crocs might seem like a comfortable and easy-to-wear choice, they may not be the ideal solution for everyone.
In this blog post, we’ll explore some alternatives to wearing crocs for camping. ###
- Hiking boots offer more support and protection to your feet than crocs. They are also much sturdier and can withstand rough terrain.
- Hiking boots come in both leather and synthetic materials. The former tends to be heavier but more durable, while the latter is lightweight and comfortable to wear.
- Hiking boots tend to have a good grip, which is essential when navigating slippery or rocky riverbeds.
- They offer better ankle support than crocs, which reduces the risk of injury.
- It is important to break in hiking boots before embarking on the camping trip, to ensure that they are comfortable to wear over long distances.
- Trail shoes offer a balance between the flexibility and comfort of crocs and the durability of hiking boots.
- They are lightweight but offer more protection than crocs. Trail shoes are also breathable, making them perfect for summer camping trips.
- Trail shoes have a good grip on various terrains, which is crucial for muddy or slippery trails.
- The shoes are versatile and can be used for both hiking and running activities.
- They come in a variety of styles, so it is important to choose a pair that suits the specific needs of the camping trip.
- Sandals are perfect for warm weather camping trips as they keep your feet fresh and well-ventilated.
- They are easy to slip on and off, which is great for quick trips to the bathroom.
- They are lightweight and take up very little space when packing.
- Sandals with a sturdy sole can offer good protection for your feet during day hikes.
- It is important to choose sandals with straps that are adjustable, so that they can fit securely on your feet.
While crocs are a viable option for camping, they may not be suitable for everyone, especially those going on rugged camping trips that require more durable and secure footwear. Hiking boots, trail shoes and sandals are some alternatives that offer more protection and support for different types of camping activities.
Remember, always choose the footwear that best suits your needs and the environment you’ll be camping in. Happy camping!
