New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made his city the world leader in the fight to defend against climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
This book, just released, tells the story.
It is being published as a multi-media e-book on ICN Books brand new app, and serialized in installments starting today oninsideclimatenews.org.
Experts say New York’s accomplishments rank among the most comprehensive of any of the world’s leading cities, despite rarely capturing the attention of the public during the mayor’s tenure or earning mention in media assessments as the mayor prepares to leave office.
Bloomberg’s PlaNYC has decades of implementation ahead – if it continues – but already it has reduced energy use in large buildings and improved air quality, re-imagined and reconstituted the urban landscape, and set the city on a trajectory to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 30% by 2030 below 2005 levels.
The 10-chapter multimedia ebook, released via a new multi-media ICN Books app, is based on extensive interviews with the mayor and key players on his team.
InsideClimate News is a Pulitzer Prize-winning, non-profit, non-partisan news organization that covers clean energy, carbon energy, nuclear energy and environmental science — and the territory in between where law, policy and public opinion are shaped. Its mission is to produce clear, objective stories that gives the public and decision-makers the information they need to navigate the heat and emotion of climate and energy debates shaping our world for generations to come.
Michael Bloomberg’s record as one of New York City’s longest serving mayors has been analyzed to the point of exhaustion. His ban of oversized soft drinks, his calorie counts on restaurant menus, his police department’s stop-and-frisk policy, his obsession with data, even his penchant for loafers—it has all been dissected and then dissected again.
Rarely mentioned, however, is Bloomberg’s dogged effort to reduce New York’s greenhouse gas emissions and to protect the city and its 8.4 million residents from the perils of climate change. Climate experts around the world say the plans created under his leadership are a model for other cities. But most Americans, including New Yorkers, know little or nothing about his record in this area.
An undertaking as complex as preparing a city for the challenges of climate change is much harder to grasp than, say, building a park or a bridge or banning giant cups of cola. It means laying plans for projects that are invisible to the naked eye, like reducing air pollution, and may not be completed for years or even decades.
Their effort is important for two reasons. First, it gives New Yorkers a clear picture of the groundwork that has been laid to ensure their city’s future, so they can demand that successive mayors continue or improve on Bloomberg’s work. Second, it offers politicians in other cities a roadmap for creating their own sustainability and climate change plans. Other U.S. cities have begun grappling with the prospect of climate change, but New York is certainly the biggest and most rambunctious to have done so on such an ambitious scale.
Andy Darrell, an Environmental Defense Fund leader who sat on an advisory committee that was key to the process, still marvels at how so many disparate groups came together to work on the plans.
In an interview for this book, Bloomberg downplayed his achievements. He pointed out that his wasn’t the first New York administration to take on environmental issues and that it was his staff that did the real work.
And he is right. Bloomberg didn’t come up with the specific ideas or do the mathematical equations or hammer out the fine details. What he did do, however, was make clear to his staff, to city officials and to the private sector that this was going to happen—that New York was going to have a clear and unified vision for dealing with climate change.
This is Bloomberg’s hidden legacy—a legacy that may be fully appreciated only by generations yet to be born. | 2019-04-23T09:06:25 | http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/bloombergs-hidden-legacy-climate-change-and-the-future-of-new-york-city/ | [

The Shakespearean tragedy, Othello, was written and set during the mid 16th century. The play has set in Cyprus and Venice. Shakespeare intends to break the stereotype of black characters through this play. He represent the black hero of outstanding qualities, and it was hard on Shakespeare’s audience to appreciate the out standing figure of black, as they were familiar with the character of the black man as a villain. Moreover, Shakespeare expressed his desire for social by doing this play. Through out the play, considering the point of how a black mans kindness and honestly has been destroyed by the racism and sling of whites but it has yet be be proven beyong doubt that Shakespeare sympathises for blacks and this is my hypothesis.
The quote “I may profess due to the Moor my lord” by Desdemona. In this scene Othello shows his heroic nature when he stand up to Brabantio about his marriage to Desdemona. Here he proves that to be a noble character. People are more shocked by Othello’s appearance on the stage. When Brabantio says, “Where hast thou stowed my daughter”, Othello remains calm. This shows that he respects Desdemona’s dad and he thinks that her dad will stand by his decisions. “Her farther loves me; often invited me; from year to year – the battle, siege, fortunes that I have passed. There was a lot of difference between the ways he has described at the start to now. Although he has been accused by Brabantio and almost by the whole Venetian society he still pay attention to the tradition.
As well as he is confident in what he says. Compare to Othello, Brabantio was out of control this is known by his broken language, when he speaks. Even though he treats Othello with the lack of respect, once Othello got married to his daughter, he also turned to be a racism man. This has been proved when he looses his control. Shakespeare shows audience that Othello is contrast with the stereotypical view of blacks in Elizabethan times so now doubt this created considerable force from a racial point of view and the audience clearly stood by this. (WWW.Ebscohost.com)As Othello perform to be a very noble, charm and dignify character whereas the black people at that time expected to be villains with characters such as untrustworthy and anger. (WWW.Ebscohost.com) Othello’s good character only corrupted when Iago puts his plan of revenge into actions. Iago has mainly ruled with racism.
It’s not hard to imagine that Othello was probably Shakespeare’s most controversial play. In the play, Othello Shakespeare’s shows the audience a transformation of a barbarous black man into a respected soldier and nobleman. At the time this play was written, black people were only known as slaves. That is why there is a clear theme of racism throughout the play and it captures the audiences imagination. Society rejects the marriage of Othello and Desdemona, sees it as an act “against all rules of nature”(act 1.3, line 102). Society has no real reason to reject the marriage of Othello and Desdemona. Othello matches or even exceeds the other men trying to win Desdemona hand in marriage. Nothing separates Othello from “the wealthy, curled darlings of our nation”(act 1.2, line 68) except his skin-color. Iago, Brabantion, Roderigo and Emilia are all main characters that have racist feeling toward Othello. Out of these main characters Iago shows the most racist in the play.
IAGO: Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul.
Iago even goes so far as to tell Brabantio’s grandchildren will be animals.
Roderigo also calls Othello racist names such as “thick-lips”(act 1.1, line 63 Shakespeare, 2004). Playing on prejudices, Iago provoked Brabantio to take action against Othello by sending out guards to catch him and put him in prison. Othello tells the audience later, “Her father loved me, oft invited me”(act 1.3, line 128 Shakespeare, 2004). All it took to change that was a few crude words from Iago to make a respected figure turn against a close friend of equal stature simply because of skin color.
Brabantio challenged the marriage by accusing Othello of witchcraft in front of the court. Brabantio was unable to imagine that his daughter would willfully deceive him and could not believe she would ever “fall in love with what she feared to look on”(act 1.3, line 99 Shakespeare, 2004) without the aid of spells. Brabantion suggest that Othello’s race makes him capable of these powers of BLACK magic. We have to ask ourselves, if Desdemona had eloped with Roderigo, would he be accused of witchcraft? The answer, if you have not figured it out by now, is most obvious. This event supports the idea of white purity equals goodness and that other race, such as African-American, represents darkness and evil. When cabining the blackness of Othello and the fair whiteness of Desdemona in marriage, the audience will see nothing but chaos coming from it. This seems to be the concept that Shakespeare was playing with. That White and Black natural can’t mix, which by today’s standers in society is considered very racist.
Everyone seems to think that marrying Othello was not a smart thing for Desdemona to do because of Othello’s skin color. All characters seem to see the marriage as becoming an inevitable failure.
In Act 3, scene 3, the audience starts to see the methods of Iago in progress to make Othello doubt Desdemona, by making him doubt himself. Following Othello’s refusal of believing that Desdemona has cheated on him with Cassio. Iago reminds him of his nature as an outsider and assures Othello that “I know our country’s disposition well”(act 3.3, line 204 Shakespeare, 2004). Making Othello believe he is an outsider, Iago can also makes him believe that he is lacking in the knowledge of Venetian woman. Iago is playing on Othello’s insecurities of his lack of experience with woman. Doing this Iago is forcing Othello to confide in him for advise about the world of woman. Facing losing Desdemona love to a younger white male is just too much for Othello to handle. Othello then sees the love between him and Desdemona as unnatural, “nature erring from it self” (act 3.3, line 231 Shakespeare, 2004). The audience then sees Othello make a reference to his blackness in a negative way and starts to compare himself to Cassio.
Despite Iago’s efforts, when Othello sees Desdemona he refuses to believe Iago, but the damage has already been done. As the audience will see, Othello returns to Iago to find “ocular proof” (act 3.3, line 363 Shakespeare, 2004). Othello is then deceived very easily by a thin illusion. After easily falling into this illusion he vows to kill Desdemona, without first confronting her. The ease at which Iago was able to trick Othello was frightening. Iago was able to do this by playing on his insecurities, which a large portion of is his race.
Richer than all his tribe (act 5.2, lines 345-346, Shakespeare, 2004).
All of this was brought about by Iago, but only because he was able to play on the insecurities that Othello had about his race.
Although Othello is not made out to be the cleverest and most cunning character in the play, he does have a certain wit about him that is uncommon among a European Moor. Othello is a romantic man who has won the heart of Desdemona, the senator’s daughter, with his stories of battles. Othello is also a hero whose life is full of good deeds. With all he has accomplished, he should be able to escape from preconceived notions of his race. But the play shows all too clearly how thin the value of his reputation was, in the eyes of others and to himself. Othello is an example of a noble black man at a time when black men and woman were not known except as slaves. The racism in the play reduced a black nobleman to a barbarous state, which everyone, at the time the play was written, expected. We can be critical towards Shakespeare’s use of racism, but we have to remember that racism was part of the culture in which he was present. So, it’s clear for everyone to see that the racial element of the play made the play very interesting and intriuguing indeed as an issue of race was created which is rife around the world right now. Without racial issues in the play, the play just would not have been the same. Judging from the entire play I now feel that shakespeare does indeed symopathise for black. | 2019-04-20T09:03:55 | https://blablawriting.com/racism-in-othello-essay | [

Tuesday October 23: I walk in the fog again this morning at our camping spot on Mineral Point Road outside Canyonlands National Park. So strange to see the fog in the desert when there is not even a river nearby.
After breakfast, I play viola and write in my journal in turns so as to get more out of each, send texts with pics to my kids, finish the blog I started yesterday, and do some editing on the next book of the Novels of Shannon series, Emperors and Exiles. Clifford is working on the next animation video for the CI website, introducing some aspects of the research in a way that is easy for folks to understand.
Wednesday October 24: Today features many of the same activities as yesterday, but no day is exactly the same. More fog, but not the same fog; more editing and journal writing, but different words; check texts and FB, sending and receiving messages different than yesterday’s messages; and play viola for awhile, but different vibrations than yesterday. Like the wind, never the same wind from one moment to the next, so it is with the stream of activities that are not necessarily noteworthy, but have value anyway.
Today is our last day here. Tomorrow we will be moving to nearby Dead Horse State Park to meet up with friends from Colorado. We have liked being here, but life on the road means moving where the weather and the situation takes one.
Sunday October 21: Clifford and I are boondocking with Cougar on Mineral Point Road outside Canyonlands National Park. Even though our original intention was to find a spot in Horsethief Campground, we are liking the view and the quiet of being further out on the road away from the busyness of the campground.
Today is spent at camp taking care of things that we need or want to do. I take photos, post photos for friends and family, and finish editing the revised Princes and Priests for my daughter, Ang. This is a big deal, as we are preparing her novel to be presented to a literary agent.
It is nice enough that I am able to play viola outside in the afternoon, alternating it with writing in the journal so as to play longer.
Clifford works on the animation video for CI for a good part of the day, but we also walk up the road to explore a campsite, now vacant, that we had seen from the road. It does, indeed, look like a good spot for a future trip.
Monday October 22: It is a pleasant temperature outdoors in the sunshine this morning, so after breakfast, I play viola and write in the journal on the sunny side of Cougar.
Clifford is working on the animation video for the CI website, but in the afternoon he takes a break and we go for a drive to nearby Canyonlands National Park. Even though it was nice outdoors earlier, by time we leave for the park, it is windy and jet trails mar the sky. But we go anyway, visiting the Visitor Center and then walking to the viewing point across the road from the Visitor Center. The view of the canyons with the La Sal Mountains in the background is quite spectacular.
Back at camp, we get the Suburban in place to tow Cougar out, as thunderheads are forming and the weather forecast shows the possibility of rain. The set up here was awkward and challenging, and getting out will have its own set of problems, particularly if it rains. Getting Suburban situated while the ground is still dry is a smart move under the circumstances. And indeed, there is rain in the evening hours.
Wednesday October 17: It is cloudy and rainy today and we spend the day at our campsite on Mineral Point Road near Canyonland National Park.
I take photos, send texts with photos to family and friends, play viola, and edit Princes and Priests. Clifford is working on preparing his CI lab notebooks for digital copying. While none of this sounds super exciting, it actually is what we want to do.
Thursday October 18: This morning I walk about taking photos of the fog. It is not often in these desert regions that I get to see such.
Taking photos, making business calls, writing in the journal, editing, playing viola, and blog writing fill my day, a good day for indoor activities with the high only 45 degrees. I start reading “Anatomy of the Spirit” by the medical intuitive, Caroline Myss. Clifford is working on video animations for the CI website, an interesting way to introduce certain papers.
Friday October 19: Frost on the ground this morning! Today is a Moab town day and off we go after making tea and coffee. We have breakfast at Denny’s, then run errands. We also spend time at the library with free power and wifi, which allows for downloading of bigger files, necessary for some of the work that Clifford is doing.
Back at camp, we find new neighbors in the spot right next to us; we are glad they found a place to camp. We have learned that it is fall break and thousands of people flock to the scenic camping areas of the country, like the national parks of southern Utah. We are happy to have found a niche to call home for a couple of weeks.
Saturday October 20: Another coolish morning, but after tea and coffee we go for a drive further out the road to look at other possible camping spots. There is a good one not far from us, should it be available at some future time. We are fine with staying where we are for the time being, however.
After a late breakfast, I edit photos, edit Princes and Priests, then sit outside to write the next blog (Sedona in March). Later I put the text and the edited photos together and publish the blog. We are lucky to have that much cell service when camped out in the boonies like this.
Clifford continues with his projects, mostly the animation, but also plays his dulcimer, and works with his ham radio. After dinner, reading and playing viola finish out the day for me.
Saturday October 13: It is 32 degrees, clear and windy this morning at Beas Lewis Flat, west of Capitol Reef National Park. The sunlight on the mesa at sunrise is amazing!
Clifford has been watching the weather forecast; a storm is coming and he figures we should leave. I want to stay and hike in the park as planned and leave after the storm, but my brother Rollie has had enough of chilly weather and is also ready to move on south. So, we pack up and head out, even though I think moving to a popular area (Moab for us) on a Saturday is a bad idea.
We arrive at Horsethief Campground outside Canyonland National Park in the late afternoon and sure enough, there is not a single site available. We keep on going out Mineral Point Road, as we know there is some dispersed camping about a mile further on. When we reach this dispersed area, we discover that it has been closed. We continue on and it seems that every available pull-out is taken. Finally we choose a spot that is small, hard to get into, and close to the neighboring campers, but the best we can find. We are barely off the road, the ground is far from level, and the sand is soft. It is one of the hardest parking and set-ups we’ve ever done, but at least we have a home for the night.
Sunday October 14: It is a windy chilly day here in this sagebrush desert. We had thought we’d move to Horsethief Campground this morning, but decide there really is no point in doing that since we are set up here now. It is very peaceful here and the neighbors left, so we don’t feel so much like we are crowding someone. And interestingly enough, we have better cell service at this location with the slightly higher elevation and a view of the snow-covered La Sal Mountains (cell service is better when there is line-of-sight to La Sal Mountains).
Since we are not moving this morning, I walk down the road to take photos, send texts with photos to family and friends letting them know where we are, redo the fire ring at the campsite, and rake out unsightly tire tracks. In the afternoon I edit, making good headway on the revised and updated version of Ang’s epic fantasy, Princes and Priests. Clifford has kept himself busy with working on video projects for CI, ham radio, and his dulcimer.
Monday October 15: It is 25 degrees outside and 34 inside! That is a bit chilly for an inside temperature, but we can’t run the furnace without electricity. Ah well. Making coffee and cooking a big batch of applesauce with the last of the wild apples warms Cougar up.
Clifford continues working with the video project and his ham radio set-up today, and I continue editing.
Tuesday October 16: Another chilly morning, but luckily Cougar’s living space is small enough that it warms up adequately with making coffee and breakfast. Today we go to Moab for errands and a stop at the public library where we can use power and free wifi. I post a blog of our brief stay at Agua Fria National Monument in Arizona on our way north last spring. Clifford always has research to do when the opportunity presents itself.
Back at camp, we have a late dinner, and even though it is near bedtime by time dishes and cleanup are done, I take out the viola and play for a bit. Sending texts with photos rounds out the day for me, while Clifford stays up to listen to the radio.
Friday October 12: The low last night was 32 degrees, but the morning is calm with some puffy little clouds against a blue sky, a nice day for an outing.
I make sandwiches and thermoses of tea, and then we – Clifford, Rollie, Ninja, and I – head off to Capitol Reef for another day of sight-seeing there. First stop is Twin Rocks, right alongside the highway, then Chimney Rock where we hike up the trail a ways. Photos can’t do justice to the enormous size of the mesas here.
Photos can’t do justice to the enormous size of the mesas here. If you look closely, you can see Clifford where the path drops off.
Panoramic Point is next and we walk out onto the rocks for the panoramic view of the colorful striated mesas, imagining the tremendous geological activity that took place eons ago to create such a landscape.
At the Visitor Center we sit on a bench to enjoy our sandwiches and fruit cups. While we are there, I cross the highway to get a better shot of the iconic rock formation.
After lunch, we visit Gifford House, once part of the original farm settlement, now renovated and operating as a living demonstration of the life of the early Mormon settlers. Pies, candles, soaps, and such are made and sold at this “home.” We visit the nearby orchards, 200 acres of fruit trees. One orchard has been designated as available for tourists to pick an apple. We walk through the orchard, but it has long since been thoroughly picked over, so my thoughts of eating a freshly picked apple do not come to fruition, so to speak.
As we head back to camp, I am able to get a few more photos of the scenic landscape through the open window, but no more stops.
Back at camp, dinner is sloppy joes. Cribbage with Rollie, dishes, and journal round out a very full day for me.
is Wednesday October 10: A very windy and rather chilly day here at Beas Lewis Flat west of Capitol Reef National Park. Too chilly for this early in October, in my opinion. Big hurricane, Michael, is in the gulf and hitting Florida, so guess I don’t have much call to complain.
Beautiful first light renders the landscape to the west an awesome rich golden color, but soon the moment passes and usual daytime color returns. I make my French press coffee and then go over to my brother Rollie’s rig where it is warmer while Clifford is still sleeping.
Later, Clifford and I go to the nearby town of Torrey for errands and the laundromat. Back at camp, I do some editing before starting dinner. After winning a game of cribbage with Rollie, I do dishes and then play viola for a bit. Start putting away clean clothes until I reach our pj’s, and then off to bed. The rest of the clean clothes can wait until tomorrow.
Thursday October 11: There was some rain in the night and this morning is overcast and calm. After breakfast, Rollie gets out his fire pit and we have a little campfire, but being outdoors is still kind of chilly. Some sun broke through for a bit, followed by more clouds and a little rain. Definitely a fall-ish kind of day.
In the afternoon we all go to Red Cliff Cafe in Torrey and have pizza, a fun thing to do on a chilly day. Back at camp, I continue with a reorganizing project that I started this morning. Rollie and I play music at his rig in the later afternoon before having a light dinner, since we had a big lunch today. Cribbage, dishes, and journal writing finish out the day for me.
Tuesday October 9: It is 32 degrees this morning here at Beas Lewis Flat Road outside Capitol Reef National Park, but it is not snowing and the blue sky shows off yesterday’s snow on the mesas. I make coffee and then go visit my brother Rollie for a few minutes.
After breakfast, Clifford and I make a trip to the nearby town of Torrey to pick up our mail. We stop at the market; it doesn’t have much, even for a small town, but there is a bakery in the back, so the bread is good and fresh. We get water and propane, and then we stop at the Visitor Center to use their wifi to check email and post photos on FB.
Back at camp, I make tuna sandwiches for a picnic and clear a seat in the Suburban for Rollie and Ninja, and then off we go to Capitol Reef National Park.
and then we rush back for the ranger program at the Fremont Petroglyph Site. We learn about the Fremonts, the Native Americans of the area who began incorporating farming into their hunter and gatherer lifestyles about 1,300 years ago.
We then drive to the east side of the park to explore BLM dispersed camping outside the park boundaries. Although we find several places that could be used, we like our spot on the west side of the park the best.
Back at camp, I make “breakfast” for dinner, play cribbage with Rollie, do the dishes, and then tidy up. Keeping tiny homes (RV’s) neat and organized makes living in a small space comfortable, especially when being full-time or nearly full-time nomads as we are.
Monday October 8: The overnight low is 36, but it gets colder and begins to snow by 9:00 this morning.
I go have coffee with Rollie, as his rig is warm, and then walkabout to take photos of the snow. Coat, hat, and gloves are thoroughly wet by time I return.
After breakfast, Clifford and I go over to Rollie’s to play music – a good day for it. Later I go for a longer walk up to the big rock feature on the north side of the road, and to the highway, to the rock quarry that is further in on the road, and back to camp. Quite muddy, but I picked my way carefully.
Rollie wants to get out, so I walk the road with him, again picking our way carefully so as not to get too deep into the mud.
We have homemade soup and rice for dinner, taking it over to Rollie’s so he doesn’t have to come out again. This chilly weather is hard on him. After we eat, we play music again. When Clifford and I get back to Cougar, we discover that the propane ran out while we were at Rollie’s. The burners were on low to keep the place warm, so now it smells bad in here and we have to leave the door open for fresh air in spite of the chill outside. Not he best way to end the evening! | 2019-04-21T18:23:12 | https://quietwalkphotography.com/tag/boondocking/ | [

India on Thursday afternoon successfully put into orbit its seventh and final navigation satellite – IRNSS-1G – with its own rocket in copy-book style.
With this, India successfully completed putting into orbit all the seven navigation satellites to complete the system in the sky.
Exactly at 12.50 p.m. the PSLV rocket standing 44.4 metres tall and weighing 320 tonnes tore into the afternoon skies with fierce orange flames at its tail.
Gathering speed every second, the rocket raced amidst cheers of ISRO officials assembled at the rocket port.
At the rocket mission control room, scientists were glued to their computer screens watching the rocket escaping the earth’s gravitational pull.
Just over 20 minutes into the flight, the PSLV rocket ejected its sole passenger – IRNSS-1F – at an altitude of 488.9 km.
Soon after this, the satellite’s solar panels were deployed.
The satellite’s control was then taken over by the Mission Control Facility (MCF) at Hassan in Karnataka.
The MCF will manage the satellite’s orbit raising operations firing the on-board motors till it is placed in its slotted orbit.
While GPS and Glonass are fully functional global systems, the Chinese and the Japanese systems offer regional coverage and Europe’s Galileo is yet to be operational.India will formally join the select group of nations owing such system once IRNSS is declared operational after checking the systems – space (satellites), ground (ground stations) and the user-end signal receivers. | 2019-04-20T21:22:31 | http://jknewspoint.com/after-7th-navigation-satellite-india-a-step-away-from-gps-club/ | [

“Good speeches, as a rule, generally push a single idea,” says the former speechwriter for the Obama Administration.
When the Democratic National Committee needed a volunteer speechwriter in 2012, Ryan Jacobs ’19 was quick to put up his hand. The gig soon turned into a full-time job as a speechwriter within the Obama Administration.
On this episode of Columbia Bizcast, Jacobs talks about how his career in speechwriting started with emulating a character from TV drama The West Wing and led to traveling around the country as chief speechwriter for former President Obama’s secretary of transportation. Jacobs also explains why he wanted to learn “the language of business” from Columbia Business School.
Now working toward his Executive MBA degree as a cross-country commuter based in Seattle, Jacobs is a senior speechwriter for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. | 2019-04-26T02:28:59 | https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/articles/columbia-business/columbia-bizcast-ryan-jacobs-19 | [

Every day, you make critical decisions that impact your overall business, customers and the bottom line. Go well beyond typical customer satisfaction surveys — get the details you need to make decisions wisely.

Listen360 arms you with real, actionable insights — so you can focus decisions and investments on targeted areas that will have the greatest impact on the company’s growth and profitability.

Listen360 gives you the ability to use those customer opinions to your advantage. We’ll help you tap in daily to areas that need improvement, follow up in meaningful ways, and measure progress and success.
Listen360 is simple enough for your frontline teams to embrace even though the platform includes the powerful social marketing and sophisticated text analytics often found in complex, implementation-heavy solutions.

We are thrilled to share this good news with all our supporters! The Malaysian authorities have acquitted and dropped all sedition charges against political cartoonist Zulkiflee Anwar "Zunar" Ulhaque and others. Zunar was facing prosecution for his peaceful political activities.
Thank you to all of those who sent messages of solidarity for Zunar as part of Write for Rights 2015.
"Zunar, Sivarasa and Surendran have shown great courage in shining a spotlight on injustices such as corruption and abuse of power. Their acquittal is a positive development but the Malaysian authorities must do more to protect people who dare to speak out.” N.

Walking with Jesus: Day 130: Luke 14:25-35 & Psalm 126 - Why Would Jesus Tell Us to Hate our Families?
Day 130: Luke 14:25-35 & Psalm 126 - Why Would Jesus Tell Us to Hate our Families?
Why Would Jesus Tell Us to Hate our Families?
The difference between the Jesus of pop culture and the Jesus of the Bible is striking and often downright shocking. The Jesus of pop culture is the King of tolerance, a long-haired, peace-loving hippie who would never hurt or offend anyone. The Jesus of the Bible is the King of kings and Lord of lords. His love is stronger and more compelling, His power more absolute and His call more demanding than our culture could ever truly understand.
In today's passage, we find perhaps the most shocking of Jesus' teachings: If you do not hate your own family, you cannot be His disciple. What does He mean by this? Well, in the context of Luke 14, Jesus is talking about the cost of being His disciple and the excuses people make for not following Him.
Truly following Jesus in this world is hard. The world does not understand, love, respect or highly esteem Jesus or His followers, not really. They may offer lip-service to Jesus, but when they do, it's a Jesus of their own creation, one who is made in their image and who endorses their priorities, values and agenda. The real God of the Universe and Lord of glory is too much of a threat.
So, what do you do when following Jesus would mean losing your family? What do you do if your family has said they will disown you if you follow Jesus? You have to choose who is more important to you. Will you reject eternal life and deny the Lord who died to redeem you just to stay in good favor with your parents or your spouse or your children? No! Not if you truly know Jesus. No one could ever out-rank Him; He alone must have your highest and strongest loyalty.
What Jesus says in verses 27-33 supports this interpretation of verse 26. He is talking about counting the cost and being willing to renounce all to follow Him. Nothing is worth more than eternal life, and no one is more precious to the believer than Jesus. He laid down everything for us - even His own life in horrible agony - so how can we respond to such love with half-hearted, lukewarm devotion?
like streams in the driest desert!
outweighing all miseries of this passing life.
Give us faith to trust in You through tears. | 2019-04-23T00:33:41 | http://www.walkingwithjesusdevo.org/2016/08/day-130-luke-1425-35-psalm-126-why.html | [

Unlawfully issuing a bad check is a crime. Each year merchants lose millions of dollars to bad checks. Bad checks affect everyone, pushing the costs of goods and services higher. As you can well imagine, they can be devastating to small businesses.
Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office Bad Check Restitution Program is an attempt to minimize losses from bad check writers especially to small businesses and individuals. It is a two-fold program that addresses the needs of local merchants/victims of bad checks and a program that holds offenders accountable for writing worthless checks.
Make personal contact with the check writer; if you are unsuccessful, send a statutory notice. The check writer has 10 days to respond and remit payment.
If you do not hear from the check writer or receive payment, simply contact the Bad Check Restitution Program at 1-855-211-0577 for a crime report. | 2019-04-25T09:58:25 | http://www.vanderburghprosecutor.org/?page_id=68 | [

Dark energy is much more complex than you think.
The idea that the universe will not expand forever and will collapse into the size it was before the Big Bang didn’t survive for too long as the scientists found problems with it almost immediately. Wrase himself realized that there is a massive hole in this argument and his team presented another separate study to verify that. The paper published in the journal Physical Review D mentioned that the original conjecture of the researching team couldn’t be true because the existence of the Higgs boson can’t be explained through that. Thanks to the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have a unanimous agreement that this amazing particle does exist.
The Higgs boson is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. It is produced by the Quantum Excitation of the Higgs field. The name of Higgs boson comes from Peter Higgs who suggested the existence of this particle in 1964 along with 6 other scientists. In 2013, both Higgs and Francois Englert were awarded Nobel Prize in Physics for their remarkable theoretical predictions.
Despite their recent paper, Wrase told the world that the theory of collapsing-universe could well be possible by making some theoretical adjustments to it. According to the conventional, ever-expanding theory, dark energy pushes the universe outwards at a constant rate. Contrary to that, the researching team of Wrase showed that this unseen force changes over time. Wrase elaborated that the theory of everything (string theory) must incorporate dark energy in order to offer a viable explanation of the universe.
Cumrun Vafa, a Senior Author of the paper from June who is a String Theorist at the Harvard, agreed that unstable universes did create some difficulties for them. Having said that, he claimed that the revised conjecture will tackle all the limitations pointed out by Wrase and his colleagues.
In response to that, Wrase explained that the revised conjecture will not put us in a stable universe because it only proves the existence of mountaintops and fails to incorporate stable valleys. He stressed the fact that the dark energy will still change in the revised version of the conjecture. Eventually, Vafa agreed to him and expressed hope that the satellites may offer some sound experimental evidence about the change of the dark energy in the coming years. | 2019-04-19T16:26:14 | http://www.absolute-knowledge.com/higgs-boson-might-have-saved-our-universe-from-a-cosmic-collapse/ | [

This is a common misconception. The Basic Retirement Sum (BRS), Full Retirement Sum (FRS) and Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) are not fixed amounts, but a range of retirement sums of how much you will need to cover the cost of living in retirement.
You will still get monthly payouts even if your CPF savings are lower than the retirement sums.
Even if your CPF savings are lower than the different retirement sums, you will still receive monthly payouts from your payout start age (between 65 and 70). The amount of retirement payouts you receive will depend on your Retirement Account savings and choice of CPF LIFE plans.
Setting aside the BRS will allow you to take care of your basic needs in retirement, assuming you own your home and do not have to pay rent. The FRS and ERS allows you to set aside twice and thrice the amount of BRS respectively to enjoy proportionately higher monthly payouts.
Basic, Full and Enhanced Retirement Sum are not fixed amounts you have to select.
They are simply reference points of how much you will need to cover basic cost of living in your retirement. The monthly payout amount you wish to receive and the Retirement Sum you will need to set aside depend on your Retirement Account savings and cost of your desired retirement lifestyle.
To account for inflation and rising standards of living, the retirement sums will increase annually so you have greater certainty on future adjustments. Once you turn 55, the sums applicable for you are fixed.
To help plan for your retirement early, the BRS and thus FRS and ERS for subsequent years will also be made known ahead of time.
Basic Retirement Sum (BRS) for members turning 55 between 2016 and 2020 and corresponding monthly payout for life. | 2019-04-26T03:42:11 | https://www.vault268.com.sg/news/no-payouts-if-i-don-t-meet-the-retirement-sum/ | [

Massachusetts has always been a source of innovative ideas that change the world, from the revolutionary principles that gave birth to democracy to the technological concepts that founded Facebook. But when it comes to our zoning, subdivision and planning laws, our state is still stuck a half century behind the curve.
Yet that could change. There is a growing movement to reform the state’s antiquated and confusing laws that govern development. We aim to create a more predictable set of rules that will encourage good planning and good projects so that our cities and towns can enjoy the kinds of walkable, vibrant places where people want to live and work. To be successful, we need to pass legislation pending on Beacon Hill that will simplify the zoning process for the benefit of municipalities, residents, and property owners across MetroWest and throughout the Commonwealth.
Current laws do not promote development that meets the needs of Massachusetts residents in 2013, much less in the years to come. We’re building fewer than half of the homes needed to house current residents, and we’re often building in ways that don’t use our land and resources responsibly. It’s time for some common sense that works in everyone’s interests.
Known as House Bill 1859 or “An Act Promoting the Planning and Development of Sustainable Communities,” our reform package has earned 58 co-sponsors since being introduced, including Sen. James Eldridge (D-Acton).
The proposal will make it quicker and cheaper for communities to decide where to sensibly grow by making master planning optional and more flexible. It encourages communities to establish districts for prompt permitting of housing and commercial growth while adopting environmental protections. With our proposal, the permitting process would become more rational for developers and the community. Instead of navigating a gamut of local boards individually, developers of major projects could submit a common application to all boards simultaneously and be granted a joint public hearing within 45 days of filing.
Let’s take development fights out of the courts. This bill brings our zoning law into the 21st century and clarifies many gray areas of the law so that everyone understands what they mean. A few examples include: inclusionary zoning to encourage affordable housing, impact fees to help offset the costs of development, and form-based codes that promote good design. Furthermore, we eliminate several loopholes that make it possible for developers or municipalities to game the system. Our legislation would create reasonable and standardized zoning protections once a building permit, special permit, or subdivision plan is approved. In the event of a disagreement on land use proposals, there will be an opportunity for a neutral facilitator to come in and settle the dispute instead of enduring costly and time-consuming court battles. The appeal process is streamlined to save everyone time and money.
Our antiquated zoning laws hurt our environment as well. Every day in Massachusetts, 22 acres of forest and farmland are converted primarily to low-density residential sprawl. This is due in part to “Approval Not Required” (ANR) development, which is almost unregulated. We are the only state in the nation that allows this. Our reform proposal would enable a city or town to replace that ANR with an expedited review process to minimize haphazard development and preserve important landscapes in our communities. There are also provisions to encourage the sensitive placement of development as well as recharge our aquifers to reduce flooding.
One of Massachusetts’ greatest strengths is the diversity of its cities and towns. There are dense urban areas like Somerville, seaside communities like Gloucester, and rural towns like Brimfield. Under these proposed new laws, MetroWest communities and cities and towns in all areas of the state will have the tools they need to lay out their vision for the future while preserving the character that makes them unique. Increasing our stock of moderately priced and affordable homes in a responsible, predictable manner will keep our talented residents here while attracting new people to Massachusetts, strengthening not only our individual towns but the entire Commonwealth.
The zoning reform bill is driven by the collective expertise of dozens of organizations including the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance, the Massachusetts Public Health Association, the City Solicitors and Town Counsel Association, the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, the Massachusetts Association of Planning Directors and many other groups that care about growth and quality of life in our communities.
We welcome a public discussion about how to improve development in Massachusetts and we invite you to learn more at the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance website and contact us. We hope you will agree that a more fair and predictable zoning and permitting process will create an attractive environment for investment in our state’s great places.
André Leroux is the executive director of the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance. State Senator Dan Wolf represents the Cape and the Islands. | 2019-04-18T23:05:34 | https://www.metrowestdailynews.com/x776195764/Heroux-and-Wolf-Reforming-development-rules-will-save-time-money | [

This is the third kinetic sand recipe we tried and I think this one might be my favourite? (Although I really enjoyed the moldable play sand recipe we made as well.) The recipe in this post ends up having a great texture, and of the three recipes we tried, this one had the closest texture to the kinetic sand you see in stores. The only down side is that it dries out after a day of play and you have to add more water to keep it going.
I think what I’ve learned from making all of these different play sands is that you have to tweak the ingredients for the type of sand you have. All play sand is slightly different, so if your sand isn’t behaving how you’d like it to, you’ll need to increase (or decrease) the quantity of liquid to bring it to a texture you like.
1. Shaving Cream Sand Foam using Shaving Cream and Sand – Make this one if you want a cool sensory foamy experience, but not necessarily the most squishiest, moldable sand.
2. Moldable Play Sand using Flour and Oil – Make this one if you want soft, moldable sand that you can play with over and over again without needing to add more liquid.
3. Kinetic Sand using Corn Starch and Dishsoap – Make this one if you want play sand with a texture closest to the kinetic sand in stores, but you don’t mind adding water after it dries out.
This is the 44 lbs bag of sand we bought at Home Depot for about $5. It’s a lot of sand! I’ve already tried three recipes with it, and there is still about 3/4 of the bag left! I guess I’ll need to come up with some more sand activities!
This recipe is interesting because it combines the unique characteristics of cornstarch and water, with the moldable characteristics of sand. You know how when you mix cornstarch and water it’s not quite a liquid and not quite a solid? Adding it to the sand kind of gives the it a bit of a “quicksand” quality, especially when you add more water to it.
This recipe uses water, corn starch and dish soap (the full recipe is at the bottom of this post). The soap is what gives it the fun squishy texture.
Mix together the sand and corn starch. It will make it easier to combine when you add the water and will prevent lumps if you pre-mix the dry ingredients.
Add the dish soap to the water in a separate container and stir until it’s well mixed and a little bubbly.
Then add the water and soap solution to the sand and corn starch mixture.
Stir it up until it’s well mixed. If it looks a little too dry, feel free to add some more water until it gets to a consistency you like.
This stuff had a great texture! It was easily moldable, and I would say it behaved a lot like the kinetic sand you see in stores. Out of the three recipes we tried, this one was probably the best, with the oil and flour moldable play sand being a close second.
The only problem with this recipe was that by the end of the day, it had completely dried out. Which I guess is either a good or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. If you put it away after it has dried out, it will store so much better and all you’ll have to do is add the water back when you are ready to play with it again.
Here’s a comparison of all three recipes that we tried. The top photo is the flour and oil moldable play sand, the middle photo is the shaving cream foam sand and the bottom photo is the kinetic sand recipe in this post.
Add the corn starch to the play sand and mix together until it's well combined.
Mix together the dish soap and water in a separate container until it's fully mixed and a little bit bubbly.
Add the water and dish soap solution to the corn starch and play sand mixture and mix until it's well combined.
If the sand seems too dry, slowly add more water until it reaches a consistency you like.
We took all of the bins outside and played with them on the patio. (*cough* ignore the weeds in the patio *cough*). The kinetic sand recipe in this post is the box on the right in the photo below. It was a warm day, so it started to dry out quickly.
This kinetic sand recipe uses ingredients you probably already have at home. It’s easy to mix it all together, and it ends up with a really cool squishy and moldable texture. If it dries out, add more water and if it loses it’s squishiness, add another squirt of dish soap to bring it back to life. When you are done playing, let it dry out, and then put the lid back on the container to save it for another day. When you are ready to play with it again, add the water and dish soap back in, mix it all up, and it will be as good as new!
I have the same question. Regular color sand is boring, but I cannot see buying kinetic sand at the store for the price they charge for it when we can make it at home for so much less!
If we cannot use food coloring (staining hands issue?), is there something else we can use to color the sand?
I truly hope the writer of this article replies.
You can use food colouring but only in small amounts so it doesn’t stain anyone’s hands.
We added food coloring to the cornstarch/sand and it worked well.
Play sand means beach sand right. Or else separately play sand is there?
It is just a finer grade. There is course sand for construction projects, and play sand is a finer sand that is better for kids. It is similar to beach sand.
Aside from grain size, the differences in sand have to do with how pointy it is. Beach sand has generally been worn smooth & round by the waves and I think that’s what’s usually used for play sand. Construction sand is made by crushing rocks and it’s pointy, so it locks together and makes concrete & mortar stronger and more able to hold its shape, where beach sand is like a bunch of little ball bearings.
i am trying to do this but from marha stewart recipies and it is not working. when there is to much water i should add corn starch or just take a kitchen paper ?? if it is not working as kinetic sand, should i add more dish soap? i really don’t know why it is not working?
Could you tell me something…if there is 1 cup of sand, then i should add 330ml or 200ml?
This isn’t kinetic sand. It’s wet sand. Kinetic sand flows. This doesn’t; it just crumbles when handled.
Very interesting. I combined cornstarch, sand, and hand soap and colored with food-safe dye in all shades of the rainbow. Kinetic sand is a great way to teach kids about color mixing.
Interesting! Have never try it before. Will try with my kids this weekend. Thanks!
That so so amazing.. Thanks for your posting.
Surprisingly, this kinetic sand recipe is completely new to me but I have a plan to try this. Can you tell me will it work in dry sea beach? I am going to visit a sea beach next month. I have a plan, I will try this fascinating recipe with my friends together.
Everyday i learn something new from you. Thank you for being here!
your recipes are wonderful and easy to make.
A great creation, I’m sure my kids will love them. Thank for sharing!
My kids loved it and I’m definitely going to buy :)) 5 stars for you and thanks so much for this guide Debbie!
Thank you for sharing. I was really confused when using sand to play with my children. | 2019-04-21T00:57:11 | https://onelittleproject.com/how-to-make-kinetic-sand/ | [

nablopomo | Stitch, Brinn, Stitch!
You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘nablopomo’ tag.
So… I sort of fell of the NaBloPoMo bandwagon. Well, I tried anyway. And I did pretty well, I think. I posted most days, and I would have posted more often but I had trouble getting photos during the daylight, especially over Thanksgiving break.
Needles: Big. Whatever the pattern calls for.
Mods: None. Made the XS.
This came out well but HOLY HELL is the pattern difficult to follow. It’s confusing and jumbled and really difficult to decipher. I’m pretty sure the only reason I could do it was because I made Liesl first (which is very similar). I considered just making a shrug out of Liesl, but OliviaGoddess said Cloud, so Cloud I made.
As for the yarn: The Claudia Handpainted (the variagated) is lovely, wonderful, dense merino. Like the best handspun and also gorgeous. LOVE. It’s hella expensive and it will never grace my fingers again, but damn is it pretty. The other stuff, the Classic Elite on the bottom, is okay. It’s a pretty basic wool single, though a bit too fuzzy for my taste.
So yeah. So much for NaBloPoMo. BUT: The future: more shark mittens (three more pairs by Friday), maybe some socks, HOPEFULLY a sweater for the boyfriend for Christmas.
Christ. It’s finals week next week and I have a ton of knitting to do. Good thing I only have two finals.
So… I forgot to blog yesterday. Bad NaBloPoMo participant. Oh well. One of these days I’ll do two posts to make up for yesterday. But not today because it’s already after four and I have plans tonight. What plans, you ask?
HARRY POTTER PREMIERE, OF COURSE.
It’s the Cloud Bolero for a WWFY swap. I think I’ll be casting off soon, but I have to make sure it’s long enough for the recipient’s daughter. I also finished the mitten part of a pair of shark mittens (still need to do mouths and fins). That’s the first of three pairs that were ordered from my Etsy shop the other day. One of them will be in acrylic though, which my brother is sending me from home since I don’t have any grey acrylic yarn here at school.
So… the day got away from me and I didn’t get a chance to snap any pictures of the thing I finished knitting yesterday or the things I was working on today. I’m heading out to a party in a little bit so I don’t have time now (and it’s dark anyway), so today marks NaBloPoMo day number one with no pictures. I did make it all the way to day thirteen though, so go me!
The party I am going to tonight is a masquerade ball, which means I had to make a masquerade mask. I was going to knit it but time got away from me, so I made it out of cardboard and leather. I want to show it off (as well as the one I helped my boyfriend make), but I’ll do it when there’s more light (tomorrow probably).
Coming up this week will be FO posts about a couple of little things, WIP posts about a new WWFY swap (for some really awesome thing), and SOMETIME this month I want to do a tut on grafting in pattern (which I figured out how to do from grafting the cabled top of my Red Riding Hood cape). I haven’t seen a tut like this around (I know, I was looking for one), so I’m hoping when I get it up, it’ll be a pretty valuable resource.
And I’m still working on Leyburn, so instead you get a bad self-photo of what I’m wearing today!
Shirt: Hand-me-down from my sister, who is both larger and younger than me. It does not appear to have a brand tag.
Jeans: Thrift store, pegged by me for wearing in boots.
Boots: Steve and Barry’s, before they went out of business. $9. Hell yes.
Jewelry: Two Disney rings from my grandmother (that I always wear), blue Pocohontas-ish necklace that was a gift from the boyfriend.
No worries, I don’t anticipate making this a regular feature of the blog. Unless you want me to. Mostly I am all about the swaps and the finished knits and sewing projects and whatnot. Tomorrow will probably be more sock. Or something. Later this month I plan to do a tutorial on grafting (Kitchener stitch) in pattern (like seed stitch or cables or something). I need to write it up though. Along with the pattern for my Halloween cape.
So I’ve decided to participate in NaBloPoMo for the month of November. NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Posting Month, is a challenge to post on your blog every day for the month of November. So I’m going to try. I might have to do a couple of silly memes, and there might not always be pictures, but I’m going to try. Because why the hell not?
I think it’s super cool. : ) She asked me to pick from several themes, and I picked chess or champagne (clearly she went with the former). I love that it’s sort of heavy so it won’t fall over and there’s plenty of room for pins. Yay!
I finished the thing I made for her, but I haven’t sent it yet, so I’ll post about that after she receives. I also finished the Brambles hat I mentioned the other day. It’s currently blocking, but I should have pictures of that tomorrow. | 2019-04-21T22:30:06 | https://stitchbrinnstitch.com/tag/nablopomo/ | [

The first step to take if you're interested in lessons is to contact me through the website or by phone (781) 771-0589, leaving your contact information and what you are interested in. I will get back in touch with you for a brief chat. If you decide to move forward, we will arrange to meet at my home so you can get a feel for the setting and for what I am like. If you're still interested, you can enroll online for lessons and begin!
What age students to you accept?
Ages 5- 80! I have experience teaching young children, adolescents and adults.
At what age should children begin piano lessons?
A good beginning age is when the student is reading books fluently. Children who begin earlier progress slower, have smaller hands and fingers (making the physical act of pushing the keys down and holding correct finger position more difficult), and require more parental involvement and coaching.
The ideal is for the beginning student to progress quickly (to sustain enthusiasm), establish good habits of finger position and hand position, and to work and play independently. The goal is for them to "own" their playing and accomplishments and to experience the joy of making music as soon as possible!
Does the student need to own a piano?
Study can proceed for a limited time using an electric keyboard. However, playing the piano involves subtleties with the individual keys, the music stand, the number of keys, the pedal, and even the sitting position that do require a piano. The kind of piano, the look and sound, is not critical. The piano only needs to have keys that work. Used pianos are usually not difficult to find.
Where do I get music books?
The teacher is responsible for choosing and providing developmentally appropriate music for each individual student depending on their age, experience, reading ability, past experience (if any), and personality. The teacher will bill the music books separately. After the beginning few months, I slowly begin to cooperate with the student's taste in choosing repertoire, within reason. We're always more motivated to learn something we like!
Lessons are held in a private home in Montclair, NJ.
Usually lessons are 25-40 minutes for beginners, 45 minutes to one hour for middle school and high school students, one hour for advanced students.
I began teaching at age 20! I have taught my entire adult life, taking a hiatus for 10 years when my four children were school age.
I have a classical training and background, so my skill set is very detailed and serious. However, as a parent and an experienced teacher, I know how important it is to enjoy holiday music, pop music (carefully selected), TV or movie themes, folk music and familiar music frequently. Beginners start by learning to read music and connect the notes on the page to the keys on the piano, using both hands and covering the entire keyboard, going up and down, crossing hands, etc. It's pretty interesting!
I incorporate music history, theory and analysis in the lessons from very early in the process.
Do you teach students with special needs?
Having taught for so many years and parenting four children and a foster child from Liberia, I have come to the opinion that all students have "special needs." There are right-handed and left-handed students. There are students who read lightning speed but struggle to connect the eye to the hand coordination. There are shy students, chatty students, lazy students, sad students, anxious students, students with a defeatist attitude and students who overrate their capabilities! Some students over obsess on practicing and preparation and some students consistently underestimate the lesson preparation time.
I have taught blind students and students with Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD with a lot of joy and success (with a few exceptions). I have no experience teaching students with other physical or learning disabilities. | 2019-04-24T06:19:59 | https://lauriespiano.musicteachershelper.com/general | [

According the Centers for Disease Control, more than 2 million people visit emergency departments annually for treatment of injuries sustained in auto accidents. Even more walk away from their collisions with a few bumps and bruises. Unfortunately, many never consult with a chiropractor about their injuries because they either believe they are uninjured or otherwise believe the emergency department effectively handled their care. The truth is accident victims can have musculoskeletal injuries without any symptoms. Of those who do, they are often sent home from hospital emergency departments with pain medications – which do nothing to treat the underlying injury.
you only need to be traveling approximately 5 to 10 miles an hour during a collision to sustain damage to your muscles, joints, bones, or connective tissues? The same principle applies to injuries you sustain when other drivers run into you. Both low-speed and high-speed collisions put you at risk for injury.
Yes. A car accident can leave you writhing in pain, or it could leave you with little to no discomfort at all. Regardless of how mild or severe your symptoms may be, it is important to seek out chiropractic treatment immediately following an auto collision. Fix the Cause chiropractic treatment is effective for relieving pain, muscle stiffness, whiplash, and misalignment caused by collisions. Furthermore, early treatment typically yields the fastest recovery time, because treatment is administered before the body has the opportunity to isolate injuries or accumulate scar tissue.
Your initial Fix the Cause chiropractic appointment will consist of an examination and a review of your medical history – including any injuries you may have sustained in your accident. You may then be x-rayed to check for spinal subluxations or neck injuries that may or may not have begun causing pain or muscle stiffness. Your Fix the Cause chiropractor will develop a treatment plan for you based on the results of your exam. It is likely to include frequent spinal adjustments and possibly some physical therapy or spinal decompression. | 2019-04-22T18:51:15 | http://www.fixthecause.com/education/care-after-auto-accidents/ | [

Pure underwater harmony reigns as Joana (Aglaia Szyszkowitz) and Valentin (Devid Striesow) get to know one another during a diving trip. Seventeen years later their relationship is similar to the San Andreas Fault: a “transform fault” of irreconcilable differences. Nonetheless, a couple therapist (Erwin Steinhauer) is meant to iron things out. Perhaps he can do so before all involved go mad. A fast-paced exchange of blows based on Daniel Glattauer’s stage play. | 2019-04-20T02:39:29 | https://www.diagonale.at/films-a-z/?ftopic=finfo&fid=9497 | [

The global financial crisis of 2008 pushed the investment banking community to reach consensus on the issue of a more controlled risk management environment for capital markets. It encouraged them to pay closer attention to the latest innovation and technology trends to help prompt change in the sector.
Financial institutions are upgrading their technology infrastructure by incorporating the latest advances and by developing partnerships with capable enterprise software providers. Banks want to gather their requirements and then outsource ad-hoc software solutions to an expert provider, in order to respond to customer and business needs quickly and effectively.
Information technology (IT) systems support business processes, maximise cost efficiencies, drive revenue growth and help to maintain a company’s overall competitive advantage in the marketplace. Although initial IT implementation costs can be substantial, the resulting long-term cost savings provide good return on investment as new systems can help banks reduce transactional costs.
Despite IT being crucial for product development, a large number of companies are still struggling to make the right decisions on which new technologies should be implemented due to the lack of a clear strategy. Companies must not forget to consider the entire front to back value chain if they want to apply effective technology solutions. These are necessary for growth and innovation in the industry. | 2019-04-21T00:10:04 | https://www.be-tse.it/business/deliver-solutions/capital-markets-systems/ | [

Gorgeous newborn Euan came to the studio and was really fascinated by what we were doing! So alert for such a young baby, and he let me capture his most beautiful eyes! We did manage some wonderful sleepy baby shots too, though I’m not sure he wasn’t pretending and was still awake really! It just goes to show that newborns don’t need to be asleep for the perfect photos all the time. I was extra lucky to have cuddles with Euan again yesterday when his family came back over from Lincoln for their viewing, I really do have the best of jobs! | 2019-04-24T23:49:43 | http://www.minimemories.co.uk/theeyes/ | [

*Diddy is getting sued by a photographer, not for his camera being broken, but because of an altercation between him and the mogul’s bodyguards.
According to the suit, Diddy’s “man handlers” assaulted 30-year-old Jabari Tigham in a Georgia club last October.
That night, Combs was hosting a party with Rick Ross following the BET Hip Hop Awards. Tigham and a handful of other photographers were hired to photograph the event, but for some strange reason, he was singled out by security. There is still no word as to why the violence erupted.
As strange as it sounds, Tigham’s lawyer, Jeffrey Gewirtz, says a club employee confirms the story. | 2019-04-18T10:31:58 | http://archive.eurweb.com/2011/04/new-york-hip-hop-giant-sean-%E2%80%9Cdiddy%E2%80%9D-combs-is-getting-sued/ | [

Hey this is interesting. The Printer I have in this office is laser but the one I have in Australia is ink cartridge and that thing costs a fortune and it always seems to run out of ink. When I get back to Aussie I will try it.
Has anyone tried this out. Let me know??
I dabble in the stock market a little. I am not as successful as I would like to be, but I don’t play with too much because it is a field that I don’t profess to be an expert.
Bernard Baruch was one of the most successful stock investor of all time. He was always one step ahead and foresaw the stock market crash of 1929, sold his stock at peak price and made huge profits during the great depression. He died a very rich man.
a. “Would I buy this stock today?” If the answer were “yes,” he would hold on to the stock. In some cases he would buy more. If the answer was “no,” then he would sell it.
To me they were very intelligent questions and questions that led him to great success. | 2019-04-20T20:24:26 | https://simplyfantasticbooks.com/tag/secret/ | [

The purpose of this blog hop is for each blogger to tell their readers about their life as a creative person.
So today I get to tell you my story. I was tagged by the lovely Fee of Designs by Fee.
Well its a secret magazine project so I can't give too much away but it involves pretty garden stitchery and summery fabrics.
How long does it take you to create a project?
Once I come up with a design I want to get it down on paper as soon as I can, Once I do the drawings then I choose my threads and fabrics, I always like my stitchery threads to match my fabrics. I can usually get a project finished in a couple of weeks, having to have a "real" job takes up alot of my day so I only grt to sew in the evenings during the week and sometimes in the morning. When I have a deadline my whole routine changes so I can fit in as much sewing time as possible.
What are my favourite things to create with?
Well I would have to say threads, its amazing how much we can all create something beautiful with just a few stitches of a pretty colour thread. Stitchery is my favourite craft.
I love to draw inspiration from my garden so I'm always taking photos of my flowers. Sometimes I'll just have a whole lot of garden drawings then I'll take a bit from each one and create a project.
With so many beautiful fabric ranges around these days how could you not be inspired to sew with them, I'm always thinking what projects I want to make next. I have a long list. Pinterest is a great source of inspiration. I waste lots of time browsing other boards and getting ideas. And visiting my friends blog is always inspring. I love seeing what other people are making.
Thats easy, its after dinner when I have cleaned up the kitchen and its time to sit on the sofa with a nice cup of tea and stitching on my lap.
Now I get to nominate 3 lovely ladies to join in this blog hop. I nominate Rose from Threadbare creations, Val Spiers and Helen Stubbings. If they would like to play along.
It's lovely to find out some more about you Leanne.
With a delightful garden like yours I can totally understand your desire to capture it in stitches!
It's been fun reading about how these creative minds work! I just did a project with the fabric in your first picture, and I love the fabric in the second. I'm finding myself doing more and more stitchery in my projects, too. Tilda says Hi.
Great to learn more about you.
I love your Christmas tags! I have a "thing" about Christmas tags and like to use old paper tags that I decorate with yo-yos and buttons. Yours are extra special! | 2019-04-18T11:00:29 | http://lizzie-the-quilter.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-blog-hop-kinda-day.html | [

The laboratory programs at Hennepin Healthcare are conducted under the guidelines of the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS, 5600 N. River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018; phone 773-714-8880). NAACLS is an international agency for accreditation and approval of educational programs in the medical laboratory sciences and related health professions.
Download the Medical Laboratory Scientist Application Form.
The Medical Laboratory Science Program is a nine-month clinical internship, from September through May, with intensive study in the areas of chemistry (including toxicology and instrumentation), coagulation, hematology, immunohematology (blood bank), immunology, microbiology (including parasitology, mycology, mycobacteriology, and virology), urinalysis, management, and education. Each area of study includes practical laboratory experiences, lectures and/or workshops, self-instruction learning modules, patient case studies, and exams. Students receive individualized instruction as they learn and work with teaching technologists in the laboratory. Students perform tests on patient blood and body fluid specimens and, under supervision, report results. General hours for the internship are 7 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. One to two weeks of evening-shift experience, from 3 p.m. -11 p.m., is included. Clinical enrollment is limited to a maximum of 8 students per year. An academic calendar is available upon request.
Upon completion of the program, graduates receive a certificate that is not contingent on passing a certification examination. Graduates are then eligible to take the national certification examination of the American Society of Clinical Pathology Board of Certification. The pass rate for this exam over the last three years has been 100%.
Download the Phlebotomy Application Form (PDF).
The Hennepin County Medical Center Phlebotomy Technician Program is a twelve-week clinical experience with coursework in medical terminology, quality assurance and legal concerns, safety and infection control, specimen processing, point-of-care testing, anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system, and venipuncture, arterial puncture, and skin puncture techniques. Students are also introduced to the healthcare environment, other healthcare professionals, and use of the electronic medical record. Lectures, laboratory demonstrations, and experiences, and technical evaluation are utilized for the learning process. The academic portion of the program exceeds the required 40 clock hours.
After initial experience with artificial phlebotomy practice blocks, students receive individualized instruction as they learn and work with clinical instructors. The first few weeks are concentrated in the outpatient setting. During weeks five through twelve, they spend at least four hours per day drawing in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. The inpatient experience includes intensive care units, burn unit, pediatrics and newborn units in a very busy Level I Trauma Center. The clinical experience is documented to exceed the required 100 clock hours and the required 100 successful unaided collections. There is also a focus on patient interactions and providing an excellent outcome and experience for our patients and their families.
This course is currently offered twice each year, once beginning in January and once beginning in September. The hours for the internship are 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for the first four weeks. Earlier shifts, starting between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for weeks five through twelve will be required to ensure appropriate experience. These shifts will be scheduled with each student. This course is not offered for either evening or part-time hours. There will not be a class on the following major holidays if they occur during a course: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day.
Upon completion of the program, graduates receive a certificate that is not contingent on passing a certification examination.
Students are then eligible to take the national certification examination of the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification. The pass rate for this exam for Hennepin Healthcare graduates in the last three years is 100%. Although job placement is not provided, in the last three years 100% of HCMC graduates have been employed following graduation.
The Hennepin Healthcare Phlebotomy Technician Program is licensed as a private career school with the Minnesota Office of Higher Education pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 136A.821 to 136A.832. Licensure is not an endorsement of the institution. Credits earned at the institution may not transfer to all other institutions.

Place and identity are bound to one another. The places we grow up in and the places we inhabit in the city shape us and construct our identities. When humans are displaced from original habitat and into another, a change in mental construct occurs. This dissertation explores notions of power and identity expressed in the Union Buildings, as well as change in political regimes and the representation of buildings under such regimes over the span of the Union Buildings from their time of conception to current day. This will be investigated in terms of the initiation school ritual using the backdrop of the Union Buildings as a study into the possibility of a new programme allowing for a new image within changing cultural beliefs. Whereas the current Union Buildings is representative of the two cultural/political groups as means of reconciliation preceding the Anglo Boer Wars, the proposed programme opens a new collective memory; one which represents unity amongst all people in South Africa. The architectural intent seeks to explore the relationship of Self and Other, conceptually and physically, by confrontation or contestation of the existing boundaries and controls that occur in and around the Union Buildings. Furthermore, the architecture seeks to disrupt traditional notions of the plinth and the boundary and introduces a third space in which the users of the space can inhabit. The project moves beyond representation of conflicted pasts in current museum typologies, and enables the platform for a new identity to be formed, both architecturally and in the selection of the programme. The proposed programme of the political school facilitates the interception of the structure into the Union Buildings by a forced interaction between the politicians and the public.

One of my daughters is an esthetician, and as she studied for her state certification so she could be sanctioned by Sacramento as worthy to give facials and wax eyebrows, she had to learn two completely separate and conflicting approaches to her chosen work. First, she learned how to give facials and wax eyebrows. Then she learned how to pass the California’s esthetician certification exam, which is based on practices no one uses anymore and maybe never did.
I thought of her experience on Friday afternoon as I found myself in a conference room with several other business people, trying as hard as we could to share our point of view about how to fix what ails California with two representatives of California Forward, the outfit that brought us open primaries and new state budgets on a simple majority vote. They’re cooking up some new reforms that made me so frustrated I could have ripped out my eyebrows – if I didn’t have a daughter who knew how to wax them. At the same time in Sacramento, a group of state employees was in another conference room with another group of California Forward representatives, sharing their perspective of the same topic. I have a feeling they had a much easier time of it.
The two meetings were part of California Forward’s current effort to gather input from all over the state so it can by synthesized into a new model for governing California, one that would fix things for good, with consensus support. Or, as the group puts it on its Web site, “We want a government that is small enough to listen, big enough to tackle real problems, smart enough to spend our money wisely, and honest enough to be held accountable for results.” Good luck with that – especially that last bit about honesty and accountability. After all, we live in the state that designed the California esthetician certificate examination.
I am no fan of California Forward’s work thus far. Their successful effort to allow the Democrats to pass a state budget without blinking an eye put Sacramento even more firmly into the hands of public employee unions – if such a thing can be imagined – which explains the devious union-funded ads that carried the measure to victory. And the switch to open primaries? California Forward thinks it will bring more moderate politics to Sacramento, but it is the sort of progressive reform that spins out unintended consequences like a galaxy spins out stars.
Still, doesn’t it all sound great? Let’s improve government performance, shift power from Sacramento to local governments that are closer to the people, invest in the future and promote an inclusive democracy. Only their plan for investing in the future makes much sense. They would like to see reserves from bountiful tax years committed to paying down debt, with a slice going into an infrastructure fund, so new stuff can be built without taking on more bonded indebtedness. Although I’m no fan of propositions, I’d vote for that one because the idea is far superior to the state’s current method of using extra money in surplus years to commit the state to more long-term obligations it can’t meet in more meager years, and paying for infrastructure by taking on even more debt.
Everything else the group proposes, unfortunately, is steeped in government-think that actually assumes there is a way to make the heads of government agencies put the public good ahead of their desire to say what’s good for the public, all the while increasing their budgets, staff and power. California Forward thinks government can be effectively reined in by basing budgets on performance, so good practices get bonuses and bad practices get cuts. That’s the basis of most government reform efforts, and California Forward is taking the approach because it is, at its core, immersed in government-think.
Take the group’s executive director, Jim Mayer, a man with one of the best resumes you’ll find in the California reform business. He started as a journalist, so he has that high sensibility about government doing things right, and the nose to sniff out wrongdoing. Then, after picking up a dreaded public policy degree from Cal State Sacramento – the spawning ground of well-pensioned bureaucrats by the thousands – he went on to the reform-bent Little Hoover Committee in 1994, and then to the reform-bent New California Network, and finally to the reform-bent California Forward. In other words, for 17 years, Mayer has been trying to make California better, and it’s only gotten worse. Our facilitator, Senior Policy Advisor Fred Silva – who offered to buy lunch for whoever asked a question that allowed him to promote the California Forward program – is cut from the same cloth, except that he’s been at it for 36 years.
I can’t speak for everyone in our room of business people, but we sure seemed to agree that this “best practices” government-think approach would lead to nothing more than another series of failed reform efforts. Most of us are in business and in our world the measurements are pretty straightforward: If you make money, you advance. If you don’t, you don’t. But government doesn’t think that way because it’s in the business of spending money, not making money, so government reformers steeped in government-think come up with reforms based on defining, then incentivizing best practices. The best recent example is the Bush/Kennedy “No Child Left Behind” federal legislation that tied school funding to best practices. All it got us was more government spending and a generation of students well-schooled in exactly what was needed to ratchet up a school district’s No Child Left Behind best practices measures, as opposed to learning real-world skills. It’s like the esthetician exam on PCP.
Despite all the best efforts of the truly bright people at California Forward and dozens of similar think tanks, I don’t think you can write a proposition or piece of legislation tight enough to stand up to the empire-building trickery of those who have clawed their way to the top of the government biz. In 30 years of public affairs work, I have seen too many analyses by California state agencies lauding the benefits of programs that in truth accomplished little. Ah, but the wrap-up studies themselves accomplished a lot. They justified the money wasted on the last program and glorified the efforts of the staffers, so more money could be taken from the taxpayers, and more staffers could be hired. These new graduates of Cal State Sacramento’s public policy administration program would then join their local public employee unions, contribute a slice of their paychecks to fund a continuing stream of easily manipulated reform propositions, all the while resting assured of comfy CalPERS-funded retirements.
Writing more best practices won’t stop this, because the best practices government is best at are those that justify their spending. Still, there’s hope for California Forward. One point of its mission statement is to bring government closer to the people, so I told Fred Silva that no measurements should be established at all. Just send the money to the most local level of government that can implement what’s to be implemented, and tell them what it can be spent on, without mandates or red tape. Then, let local government rise to the occasion or fail. If they do well, the people will re-elect them and allow them to do it again. If they don’t, we’ll toss them out and vote in someone who will try harder.
He didn’t offer to buy me lunch.
The resolution to the gridlock in Sacramento is simple. The State of California needs to be split into North & South as what is important to the South is not important to the North & vice versa. Then each state can deal with the ever greedy/bloated public unions that screw taxpayers.
Any time a California politician or reform lobbyist uses the term “BEST PRACTICES” run for the hills. They have no idea what it means, have yet to practice it themselves, and use it as a way to prove to idiots they can talk business talk.
I don’t think the devolution of government to the lowest possible level will change anything unless the lowest possible level is subject to the voters. However, increasingly, government functions are given over to special districts and “non-profit” organizations whose agendas, policies, finances, and personnel practices are well hidden. From the outside looking in, it sometimes seems that government hates you or fears you, or both…mostly because voters have the abilty to upset their carefully tended apple carts. So, they try to remove as much as possible from voter choice.
A guy makes the absurd claim that everything wrong with America comes from California. And not only do you not laugh him out of town, you give him a place of “honor” on your blog. That says a lot about CalWatchdog’s legitimacy.
Read this on dec. 18 after reading bee opinion piece from CF today. Tx for explaining what I suspected….these people have never met a sacramento pol or their lobbyist handlers or they’d have an appreciation of the silliness if the best practices model.
Your piece touches on the heart of the matter which is the self interest of all involved – is there any good government model to aspire to? | 2019-04-24T18:33:09 | https://calwatchdog.com/2011/02/13/ca-forward-offers-slate-of-phony-fixes/ | [

Brard; ( 1788-1838 ) was a French mineralogist, and economic geologist. ?He studied mineralogy under Bronignart, and while still a student published his Manuel du Minéralogiste et du Géologue Voyageur (Paris, 1805). He made an extensive tour by foot of the Alpes in Switzerland and Central Europe studying the geology and mineralogy, and in 1808 he became an aide to Faujas. Brard was appointed director of the copper mines of Servoz in 1813 where he was the first to use anthracite coal as a fuel. In 1816, he entered into a franchise that created a glassware factory in Lardin.?He is noted for his contributions to mineralogy and also to the understanding of the stratigraphy of the Paris Basin. ?Brard’s Minéralogie appliquée is his major treatise on economic mineralogy. Within it he provides descriptions of the various mineral substances, the deposits, and their uses. The uses range from agricultural to gems for jewelry to ornamental architectural. The first part of the work covers the agricultural uses of minerals. The second covers minerals used as fuels. The third covers those minerals with applications to the medicines which includes "remedies of imagination". The fourth part covers edible minerals. In the fifth part Brard treats the architectural stones, i.e. the marbles, granites, paving stones, alabasters, serpentines and also their quarrying and shaping. The sixth part covers those minerals used in pigmentation and drawing. In the seventh part, Brard describes those minerals used in ceramics, glazing, refactories, and as abrasives or polishing agents, i.e. the diamond. The eighth and final part is devoted to the gemstones. It contains descriptions of their properties, and classes them according to value. Identification tables are provided as well as plates showing faceted stones, carved works and lapidary equipment. | 2019-04-24T17:48:54 | http://www.geology-books.com/rare-mineralogy-book-brard-cyprien-prosper-mineralogie-appliquee-aux-arts-ou-histoire-des-mineraux-1821/ | [

Modifying plans: My original plan was to cross from Bulgaria to Turkey, then go down to Syria and Jordan and through Iraq to Iran. However, because of a disease outbreak in Syria, the Turks had closed the border. This is why I decided to go down through Greece, then Cyprus and take a boat from there to Lebanon. In Vienna, I had met a young American named Bob. He was intrigued about my plans to go to the Middle East and we decided to travel together for awhile. While we had originally planned to meet up again in Athens, we bumped into each other in Sofia, and traveled together for the next six weeks, as far as Teheran.
Beirut descended into civil war in 1975, but there was not active fighting at the time we arrived.
That said, Bob and I traveled out of the boat accompanied by two other backpackers as we tried to get our orientation and to figure out what to do next. Any hotels around the port area were semi-destroyed or pock marked and we definitely did not like the “vibe” of the place. After a couple of abortive attempts to find a reasonably secure place to stay, I suggested taking a cab to the Canadian Embassy on Rue Hamra. After a couple of kilometres of driving through a devastated urban wasteland we crossed what was the “green line”, then manned by Syrian troops, and headed to a different part of the city. By the time we got to Rue Hamra, it was like we were in a completely different country. There was virtually no evidence of the war, there were lots of shops and cafes, and it looked like any other normal busy urban centre.
A couple of days later, we headed back into the “war zone” for an hour or two, only because that was the departure point for taking a collective taxi to Damascus. Driving out of Beirut, and almost all of the way to the Syrian border, scenes of structural damage and devastation were everywhere. And once across the border in Syria, all evidence of war and damage totally disappeared.
For whatever reason, in my experience in visiting “pariah states” in the Middle East, such as Syria or Libya, the level of inquisitive interest and hospitality was among the warmest I have found anywhere in the world. While I only visited Damascus, my memories of interpersonal interaction with the Syrians was universally polite and positive. At the youth hostel in Damascus, I met two blonde Austrian women who were hitch-hiking through Syria. I asked if they considered it dangerous. They said they were “street savvy”, were aware of the cultural context, knew how to avoid trouble, and did not believe themselves to be at seriously greater risk than a male, if they took appropriate cautions.
From Damascus, we took a bus down to Amman, Jordan. Two of the great highlights are Petra and the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is so saline that one floats above the water more dramatically than in any other body of water. Petra is one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world. Jordanian truck drivers were great at giving lifts to hitch-hikers, even two males traveling together, though we did have a three hour wait in the midday heat at the turnoff for Petra. We stopped for a bite of dinner at a hotel at the entrance to the Siq, then proceeded at sunset to walk through the Siq, a narrow canyonlike defile that is the entrance to Petra to arrive at the first and most impressive temple of all, the Treasury. We decided to sleep in our sleeping bags inside the Treasury overnight. At about 0300 in the morning, I could see a shaft of blue light entering the Treasury from outside. I woke up Bob and we both walked outside. What we saw was not the moon, but the most intense display of stars and the Milky Way that I have ever seen in my life.
Getting a visa to go east out of Jordan proved to be a rather vexing problem that took some time to resolve. Saudi Arabia did not give tourist visas, and was only prepared to give a 3-day transit visa if you already had a visa for the next country. Kuwait and Iraq, the two countries en route east towards Iran were petroleum wealthy. Their Embassies were overwhelmed by Jordanians and other Arabs from less prosperous states trying to get visas to work there. But the biggest problem was that the Gulf countries were very conservative in orientation, and had enough petroleum reserves that tourism, especially from backpackers, was irrelevant and usually unwanted. We had to give up on Iraq, then give up on Kuwait. Then we checked with the Embassy of Bahrain. The officials said that if we flew into the country, we could get a three day transit visa on arrival. So a few days later we boarded a Lufthansa flight from Amman to Bahrain, en route to Bangkok.
Our “free form” travel came to an abrupt halt on arrival in Bahrain at 0130. Without an onward ticket, immigration would not let us leave the airport. We waited a few hours for everything to open and about six hours later bought a ticket to Shiraz in Iran. The cheapest hotel rooms in Bahrain were running around $25 per night. So we asked around at a couple of churches and a missionary kindly offered us a place to stay. Two days later, one of the missionaries arranged for us to participate in a meeting with Bahrain’s then head of state, Sheikh Isa Bin Sulman Al Khalifa.
Later our benefactor mentioned that he had a friend named Bert, who was living in Ajman in the United Arab Emirates. To close the story, Bert met us at the airport, we spent a few days in Dubai, Ajman and Sharjah, then changed our flights to Bandar Abbas in Iran. In the late 1970s, the Emirates were one vast construction zone. I estimated that in many parts of the country there were at least as many modern buildings under construction as completed buildings. Compared to the comparative austerity of Eastern Europe, Syria and Jordan ( indeed almost anywhere else I was to visit over the following year in Asia), the material wealth and excess was remarkable. We flew from Dubai to Bandar Abbas across the Gulf into Iran. Shortly more than a decade later, the shooting down of that aircraft brought the long war between Iraq and Iran in the 1980s to a close.
The cultural shift from Arabia to Iran was dramatic. In my experience, the hospitality to strangers in the Arab Middle East was replaced by hustle, and even a certain amount of aggression. There were also many beggars. Demonstrations against the Shah had already begun, which may have accounted for the palpable tension in the air. Once into Iran, and throughout the rest of my time in Asia, I no longer hitch-hiked, but traveled by local transportation. Iranian busses between the major cities invariably traveled overnight, usually arriving inconveniently at around 0400 in the morning.
Overland travel through Asia in the late 1970s was popular and well established. Global political and security developments wax and wane over time. However, the major events in the 1960s to the mid-1970s which rendered parts of Asia inaccessible all occurred in Southeast Asia. The expanding war in Indochina first put Vietnam, then Cambodia, then finally Laos off limits. The convulsions from Portuguese Timor and the Indonesian occupation broke the cheapest “overlanding” route – island hopping through Indonesia to Dili, then capital of Portuguese Timor, then catching a cheap flight to Darwin, also off limits. Yet the huge convulsions which were to envelop West Asia and continues to this day, were only just beginning. Within a year of my trip, these well established and widely used backpacker routes were no longer accessible.
And the cheapest trade routes were the most traveled. Once we had left Athens for the Middle East, for the most part, there were very few backpackers. In the few weeks we traveled in the Arab Middle East, I could have counted the travellers I met on the fingers of both hands. Starting in Shiraz, more notably in Isfahan, and overwhelmingly once I arrived in Teheran at the famous Amir-Kabir Hotel, this was a well trodden route and on almost all local transport, Western backpackers were a significant contingent of those traveling.
Travelling on the cheap in West Asia in those days was different than in Europe. With the “Eurail/Interailpass” mentality in Europe, you constantly met other travelers. Yet for the most part, save for remote parts of Scandinavia, there was such an array of choice for your next destination, that while you might bump into the same people from time to time, it was not a constant feature. From Iran to Kathmandu, however, I was constantly meeting the same travelers over and over again. While the comfort of other travelers provides an always stimulating way to experience travel, it differs in solo travel in that your encounters, save for the transactional, tended to be with other travelers..
To Afghanistan: I followed the “thick red line” that went across to Mashad in eastern Iran, then across to the border town of Islam Qala. We arrived in Afghanistan just after the border had officially closed for the day, though the customs official also ran an inexpensive hotel next door. We were processed the following day. About a dozen of us eventually took a bus to Herat. The amazing thing about entering Afghanistan was the sense of almost literally going back to the 13th century. Herat had a wonderful reputation in the 1970s. To me, it was a relief of getting out of Iran, combined with the quiet Wild East, where you saw more people on horseback than in vehicles. Afghanistan was a very popular adventure destination in those days. In a typical bus ride in Afghanistan in those days, between 20 and 40 percent of the passengers would be Western backpackers.
Local buses were good. Afghanistan had used its neutrality during the Cold War to have a series of paved roads built by the Soviets and the Americans during the 1960s and 1970s. As late as the 1950s, places like Bamian were only accessible after horse or foot journeys lasting weeks. By the time I went through, the main trunk roads from the Iran Border – Herat – Kandahar – Kabul – up to Mazar-i-Sharif, and from Kabul, down through Jalalabad to the Khyber Pass and on to Peshawar were all along good paved roads.
Using Kabul as a base, I went up north for a few days to Mazar-i-Sharif and Balkh, then back, then into central Afghanistan to Bamian and the lakes of Band-i-Amir and back, then down through the Kabul Gorge to Jalalabad, across the border at Torkham, and into the tribal regions of Pakistan to Landi Kotal, through the Khyber to the Indo-Gangetic plain and on to Peshawar.
“Afghanistan is already on my list of “must return” countries”.
“Yet another fine day in Afghanistan”.
“Such an magnificent mountain topography en route to Band-i-Amir which looked like a one sided Grand Canyon – with a series of crystal blue lakes at the bottom”.
Many travelers at the time lingered for weeks in Afghanistan, then usually scooted quickly through Pakistan to India. Once in India, there was an enormous amount to explore, but the overland route generally headed across the north to Varanasi and then on to Kathmandu. I too, did not linger long in Pakistan. However, I did take a flight from Rawalpindi up to Skardu in Baltistan for a few days. For me, Baltistan was even more austere toward women than Afghanistan. On the streets in Afghanistan, you would at least see the burqas wandering along the street (I am excluding my experiences in what was then the comparatively cosmopolitan city of Kabul). In the bazaars and along the street in Skardu, there were only men.
The cultural change crossing from Pakistan to India was also dramatic. Suddenly, not only were there women on the street, they were also police officers, directing traffic and running commercial shops. India always invokes strong reactions in travelers and will not leave you indifferent. For all its contradictions, I am a great fan of India. I coined a phrase that for me sums up the reality of first coming to India. “The rest of the world is in black and white, India is in technicolour”.
My route to Nepal followed a fairly typical route at the time, from Amritsar up to Srinagar and the fabled houseboats of Dal and Nagin lakes. Then along the well traveled route to New Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, and then by a combination of trains and buses across the border to Raxaul and Kathmandu.
For me, and for a great many other travelers in the 1960s and 1970s, Nepal was the ultimate Holy Grail. The Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara and the lake of Phewa Tal, and going trekking in the Himalaya – the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Sanctuary, the Everest Trek, Langtang and Helambu were the most popular choices at that time. Because of the great restaurants and cheap prices, and people coming back from and heading out on treks, Kathmandu was the place where I bumped into many people I had seen along the way. When I first got there, I met those who had been going at a faster pace than me, and after coming back from my trek I once again saw those arriving who had been going at a slower pace. I spent the better part of a month in Nepal, some of it exploring the Kathmandu Valley, some of it chilling with other travelers, as well as a sixteen day trek in the Annapurna Region to Mutkinath and the Thorong La. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Trekking in the Nepal Himalayas had been, for me, the most anticipated part of my entire trip. It did not disappoint. | 2019-04-21T02:51:11 | http://deglobalnomad.com/leg/overland-to-kathmandu/ | [

It’s the time where I hear my teacher friends talk about “testing” and the students complain about the “testing”. We homeschool and we don’t “test”, at least not like the public school system does anyway. But what if this year was different for my teacher friends? What if their classrooms were calm and peaceful with learners? Wouldn’t that be a great classroom to be in? Well The Young Living Essential Oils Premium Starter Kit could be the answer!
We use these everyday oils… everyday! I’m diffusing something in the diffuser all of the time and change it up to what we are in need of at the moment. It could be a wake-me-up in the morning, or I could be trying to keep the sickies away. It might be that the kids are running around crazy and I need them to calm down so we can get our school work done. Either way I’m not sure I want to go a day without my everyday oils kit and diffuser. I’m hooked on them and all the ways I can improve our homeschool classroom i.e. my living room and kitchen!
There are so many ways that this kit could improve your classroom experience too, so why not give it a try today!
If you’re ready to start your oily journey, you can grab a kit here or find out a little more info on Membership. | 2019-04-20T20:13:25 | https://apileofashes.com/the-perfect-addition-to-any-classroom/ | [

Walking down the main street of Reims, the compact city in France’s historic Champagne region, you could be forgiven for not realising its tramway even exists.
Opened in 2011, Tramway de Reims moves passengers from place to place while barely interrupting the signature French lifestyle going on around it.
Quiet, aesthetic trams roll gently down the Cours Jean-Baptiste Langlet, past the railway station and towards the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims, where generations of French Kings were crowned. They round the bend to Rue de Vesle, which hosts the Seventeenth Century town centre, fine art galleries, boutique retail outlets, and bars where tourists sip the sparkling white wine bottled just minutes down the road.
Of course, the tram line is not just there for tourists. At one end is the northern neighbourhood of Orgeval. At the other, the neighbourhood of Croix-Rouge and a general hospital. Between the two termini is the city centre.
Given a city footprint of just 47 square kilometres, Reims’ population comes in at a relatively dense 221,000. The opening of a TGV high speed line between Paris and Reims in 2007 – connecting the two cities in 45 minutes – drove a transformation of Reims’ economy from champagne and textiles to manufacturing, services and retail. In the five years up to 2011, 4000 new jobs were created.
Launching its first studies into a potential light rail line in 2003, public transport authority Reims Métropole had several problems to solve. An extensive bus network already served more than 100,000 trips a day, and clogged the main streets, severely detracting from the historic facades lining them. A light rail network would need to be able to handle the passenger base, while providing a cleaner, better-looking alternative to buses. Most important, it needed to be financially viable.
The solution was to form what is commonly referred to as a public-private partnership, something rather unique to France at that time. Through a contract signed in 2006, the authority delegated the entire management, and a substantial portion of financing, for the construction and operation of a light rail line, to a private concessionary consortium.
Known as MARS, the private consortium consisted of Alstom Transport, to provide rollingstock, systems, infrastructure works and maintenance; Bouygues, to provide civil works, buildings, roads and pavements; engineering firm SNC-Lavalin; operator Transdev; financial advisors and lenders Natixis and Caisse d’Epargne Lorraine Champagne-Ardenne; and long term investor CdC Infrastructure.
Reims Métropole provided €174 million (A$287 million in 2006 dollars) to the MARS consortium, made up of €75 million in a grant from the city, €45 million in a grant from the state, and €54 million in a 1.8% transport tax billed to companies in the region with more than eight employees.
The consortium’s financial partners, meanwhile, forked out €239 million (A$394 million) for the project, bringing the total value to €413 million (A$681 million).
Transdev took over as bus network operator at the start of 2008, as part of a plan to create an integrated transport network in the city. Construction on the light rail line began in May that year. The first tram arrived in March 2010, making way for testing and commissioning of the line in September 2010.
The network opened commercially in April 2011, with an opening ceremony which drew thousands of spectators; locals who had come to experience their town’s new asset. In 2014, the new line was put on the international stage, when the Tour de France cycle race went through Reims.
Two of the key consortium members in the Sydney CBD and South East Light Rail project are shared with the Reims project. Rollingstock, rail infrastructure and maintenance provider Alstom Transport is once again joined by operations specialist Transdev on the Sydney project, as part of the ALTRAC consortium.
It’s clear that in planning its pitch as part of the consortium in Sydney, Alstom and Transdev looked to leverage their experience in Reims. An Alstom representative confirmed to Rail Express that the French manufacturer learned a lot from, and drew comparisons to its work in Reims during the bidding process for Sydney.
Like in Reims, Alstom will install its catenary-free technology, which it calls Aesthetic Power Supply (APS), on certain sections of the Sydney network. APS features a ‘third rail’, which runs down the middle of the tramway, parallel to the main rails, providing power to the rollingstock through the ground, thus eliminating the need for overhead power.
More expensive to install than a traditional catenary system, APS is designed for instances like those down George Street in Sydney, and the Cours Jean-Baptiste Langlet and Rue de Vesle in Reims, where the goal is to provide a solution which complements the surrounding aesthetic, often historic architecture, the catenary-free solution is preferred.
Alstom says its APS is currently installed on 42km of track around the globe. As a tram passes over the ‘third rail’, power is supplied to its conductive segments via coded radio dialogue between the tram and the ground. This is designed to ensure power is not supplied to uncovered sections of track.
APS is therefore designed to be safe in all weather situations, including rain, snow, and heat. In Reims, grass surfaces 60% of the line, and this grass is watered from ground-based sprinklers – which spray directly onto the APS power line. It is thought natural grass won’t be practical in the Australian climate, so the same grass covering probably won’t be seen in Sydney, but it’s certainly an indication of Alstom’s confidence in the safety of the APS technology.
“The safety of the APS system has been proven through dedicated studies and confirmed by five certifying authorities,” Alstom reiterates on its website.
Aside from the need for catenary-free infrastructure, the Sydney project also shares a number of logistical similarities with Reims: A main road, clogged with buses, will be closed to traffic and passenger flows will be taken up by light rail. The project will be financed through a PPP. It will link tourist sites, utilities, and living areas, with the greater transport network.
Sydney’s new line will feature Alstom’s Citadis X05 trams, the latest evolution of the Citadis trams which already feature in Reims. Like in Reims – where Alstom’s designers created a suitable ‘champagne flute’ shaped front for the rollingstock – Sydney will receive its own unique outer design, as specified by Transport for NSW.
The use of a global network of projects and experience, combined with a localised approach, is key to Alstom’s business strategy, according to the company’s new chief executive officer, Henri Poupart-Lafarge.
Poupart-Lafarge joined Alstom as in 1998. In 2004, when he was 35, he became chief financial officer. He moved to the role of president of Alstom Transport in 2011. With the ‘other half’ of Alstom, its Power Generation and Grid business, now sold to General Electric, Poupart-Lafarge will has taken up the role of chief executive of Alstom Group.
Rail Express spoke with Poupart-Lafarge, then in charge of Alstom Transport, in June at the UITP World Congress and Exhibition in Milan, Italy.
As is demonstrated through the Sydney light rail project, he said Alstom was focused on providing localised solutions to transport projects, based on the company’s globally-successful, tried and tested range of products.
“The winning formula – if you can manage it – in transport, is to try to combine localisation … with engineering products and solutions,” he told Rail Express. “We need solutions which are tailor-made for the customer.
Proximity, he pointed out, is also important at times for political reasons: “A number of countries are asking for some kind of localisation,” he asserted.
“But at the same time, for example, our product for a metro, is a metro. So our product in Sydney [Metro] will be similar to our metros elsewhere in the world. You want to pursue a common technological platform, and common processes, so the way to manufacture is similar in one place to another.
“So that’s the formula: to be close to the customer, to answer to their needs, but at the same time, to benefit from the global coverage, through a common technological platform, common processes, and a common supply chain. That’s what we try to pursue.
The 46-year-old, who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), replaced former Alstom CEO Patrick Kron when the sale of Alstom’s energy business to GE was finalised at the end of 2015.
Poupart-Lafarge said the new Alstom will be able to provide a more focused solution for the transport sector. He said the sale of the non-transport business units would benefit Alstom “in two ways”.
He said: “The first way is, I strongly believe by being re-focused on transport, by having all Alstom around the same type of activity, same markets, same world, same jargon, it will create much more cohesion, dynamism and momentum in the company, and people are waiting for that. It will simplify our processes, and make us much more agile.
Poupart-Lafarge is interested in the urban sector in Australia.
“[South East Asia and Australasia] is a booming region,” he said. “Australia, as you know, has a number of projects going on, particularly in the urban area.
Oliver Probert visited the Reims tramway courtesy of Alstom Group.

The David Bowie Convention is coming to Derby 11 to 13 May 2018 and we’re getting your ready by sharing this massive playlist of the artist’s work.
The Convention has been running for five years and returns to Derby after being held in Hull as part of its UK City of Culture events in 2017. Run by James Draper of Heanor the convention brings together from all over the world fans of the artist who had a long career, taking in many different phases, before his death at the age of 69 in 2016. It’ll feature tribute bands and an associated art exhibition by Sarah Chapman is now running at the Guildhall showing portraits of Bowie among others.
The This Is David Bowie playlist was curated by Spotify and inspired by the retrospective of the artist at the Brooklyn Museum.
Featuring Bowie‘s biggest hits the playlist from Heroes to Life On Mars?, Rebel Rebel to Space Oddity it also includes tracks from Bowie’s last album Blackstar, and some of his lesser played tracks and collaborations with Queen and Mick Jagger all taken from his five-decade spanning, genre defying career.
The very definition of a mercurial artist Bowie continually explored music, identity and art from his first charting hit Space Oddity in 1969, through to the release of his final album just days before his death in 2016. That album, Blackstar, is still revealing secrets to listeners, becoming an enduring aspect of his legacy.
The David Bowie Convention 2018 takes place at the Queens Hall on London Road between 11 and 13 May. Weekend tickets for both nights of the Convention are available for £50, Saturday only tickets at £40 or Friday only tickets at £16. Find the David Bowie Convention 2018 on Facebook here.

Before it was banned by the Australian government in 2003, asbestos based products were a commonly used building material. Today, 15 years on from the ban, asbestos is still found in most Australian homes that have been built or renovated before 1990.
They might be tiny, but a termite infestation is a huge problem - especially when it is your house on the menu. Commonly known as white ants, subterranean termites, are highly organised and interdependent creatures that are capable of eating through the wall and roofing of a newly constructed home within three months. If nothing else you have to admire their efficiency!
Although well known for their timber eating abilities, only one type of termite in the colony is actually capable of digesting wood: the humble worker termite. Worker termites do this thanks to a symbiotic organism in their gut, called a protozoa, and regurgitate the processed food to the other termites in the nest. When venturing outside of the nest, worker termites travel in mud tubes to protect themselves from their ancient enemy, the ant!
Termites thrive in warm, humid conditions, so with that in mind it is not surprising that Sydney is a termite hotspot. Although they favour built up urban areas, all of Sydney is at high risk of termite infestation, particularly those properties in close proximity to gum trees.
An infestation is a serious matter, since, as mentioned before, termites can eat through wood with incredible speed causing significant and irreparable structural damage. Such damage can even, in the worst cases, lead to spontaneous collapse - as recently happened to a termite ridden carport in Hawaii.
This carport has certainly seen better days.
It is worth knowing that most insurance policies don’t cover terminate infestations as they are viewed as a preventable problem related to home maintenance.
So what can I do to prevent termites from infesting my home? Well, since hiring a rag-tag gang of ant mercenaries to patrol your house for termites isn’t exactly possible, a better option is to keep an eye out for signs of termite infestation.
Termite dung, these look more like sawdust than actual droppings.
A mud tube - a common sign of termite infestation.
Unfortunately, early detection and extermination isn’t much use if your house has already taken irreversible structural damage due to termites. If the structure has been weakened beyond repair then only one option remains: demolition. As well as disposing of the termite infested structure and materials, demolishing allows you to start again on a blank, termite-free slate.
We all know Jake Gyllenhaal, he's starred in a tonne of classic films such as Bubble Boy and the ever nonsensical Donnie Darko. Although having not personally known of it, or knowing anyone that has, there is apparently a film from 2015 starring Gyllenhaal with the title: Demolition.
You want five hundred dolluh?
Not to be confused with the 1993 Snipes vs Stallone dystopian blockbuster Demolition Man, this recent drama film is about a man that loses a loved one which results in the entirety of his life being questioned. Dealing with complex thoughts and emotions, Gyllenhaal the main character finds solace in dismantling various items around his home which eventually leads to demolishing the whole house.
The movie itself scores a 7/10 on IMDB and even won a couple of small film festival awards. Although saddened that this film doesn't focus on the Demolition aspect of things "we would have loved to have seen a 20 tonne excavator become a plot twisting love interest" it may be worth a watch if you're a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal or director Jean-Marc Vallée "notable for directing some film called Loser Love?"
Recognise this image? Well, chances are that you've seen it quite a few times already. Maybe not this exact photo; as this is Home Demolitions' attempt to photoshop the excavator demolishing the house out of the image.
The original in all it's glory.
This particular photograph is the graphic representation of over 85 companies around the world, 5 of which are located here in Sydney! So, why is it just so darn popular? Well, obviously it depicts a house being demolished and the machinery being used has no branding or business affiliation, so basically anyone can say "yup, thats me" but this is also a clue as to the actual origins of this picture.
Just a couple thousand websites hosting the image as their own.
Theres actually quite a few things that are a little bit unusual going on in the scene, as mentioned above, the excavator has no branding or corporate decals, this is usually one of the first things a business will do with their equipment, heck, If you're going to spend a couple hundred thousand dollars, it may as well look cool right! Further more, the house itself is certainly no typical rendition of an Australian home, nor is it American, in fact, if anything, it looks quite European. The other major anomaly is the fact that the building is being demolished with roofing tiles still in place (this makes grading the waste materials far more difficult as they will now be mixed in with timber and other resources) lest we not even take notice of the perfectly salvageable windows left in place.
But what does it all mean? One very probably interpretation would suggest that the demolition of the house in the image was either done with little or no planning, possibly even against the will of the owner. It is also unlikely to see state or council owned machinery and equipment be decorated with insignia and branding. So is this a case of local authorities demolishing a house without consent? Possibly.
Hon Hon Hon - Démolition experte, naufrage baguette!!!
The earliest listed version (also the largest and least edited) appears on a German news and media website in an article pertaining to developers deviating from approved plans, citing that the image itself depicts the demolition of four 2 storey townhouses which were constructed under the guise of approval for one single storey home. The Niedersächsische Oberverwaltungsgericht "German High Court" deemed the structures illegal and ordered their destruction at cost to the developer. A specific address and details of the builder are mentioned in some of the ensuing court documents, however our understanding of the German language isn't really up to speed and thus deciphering the information has been difficult. If anyone reading this Sprechen Sie Deutsch, feel free to peruse some articles here - and let us know what it all means!
The New South Wales Police Citizens Youth Club's latest fundraising initiative focused towards at risk youth has seen all nature of Sydneysiders 'locked up' and on display in one of the cities busiest streets. All week figures of Sydney from Football legends through to pop icons have been detained with appointed bail sums determined for the safe release of each identity. So when Home Demolitions found out that long term friend, Peter Driscoll had bail set at five thousand dollars we were more than happy to let him spend some time in a public holding cell. Eventually (several hours later hahahaha) Home Demolitions mustered up a cheque that would eventually lead to Peter's freedom. Feel free to check out the donations and sponsorship page to help this great cause reach it's goal. | 2019-04-24T00:18:08 | https://homedemolitions.com.au/blog/category/other | [

Beginning Aug. 17, 2017, non-collecting retailers, referrers, and retail sale facilitators that make or facilitate Rhode Island sales must either register and collect sales and use tax, or comply with new notice and reporting requirements.
The Rhode Island Legislature recognizes that states are prohibited from imposing an undue burden on interstate commerce. Under Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298 (1992), a state can only impose a tax collection obligation on a business that has a substantial connection with that state (nexus), defined as a physical presence.
Furthermore, the internet now permits out-of-state businesses to have a substantial connection with a remote state through the use of in-state software such as cached software (“cookies”) or “other data tracking tools.” In layman’s terms, internet cookies are what enables a business to recognize and track the preferences of people who browse and shop online.
Massachusetts was the first state to base physical presence on a business’s use of web cookies, though its policy was revoked after being challenged on procedural grounds. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue is now working on new regulation. Ohio then enacted a tax on remote vendors that use internet cookies; it, too, is being challenged.
Now Rhode Island’s Non-Collecting Retailers, Referrers, and Retail Sale Facilitators Act (Chapter 18.2 of House Bill 5175) maintains that the use of “in-state software on the devices of in-state customers constitutes physical presence,” if not in the traditional sense. Therefore, businesses that use such methods to establish and maintain a market in Rhode Island are considered to have nexus with the state as of Aug. 17, provided they meet one of two sales thresholds.
Made 200 or more transactions of taxable goods or services (including prewritten computer software delivered electronically or by load and leave) delivered in Rhode Island.
The measure defines and imposes requirements on noncollecting retailers, referrers, and sales facilitators in great detail, summarized below.
Starting Aug. 17, once a referrer cumulatively receives more than $10,000 from commissions, fees, or other compensation, it must comply with a new notification requirement. Within 30 days of meeting that threshold, the referrer must notify retailers that their sales may be subject to Rhode Island sales and use tax.
Additional information about the Non-collecting Retailers, Referrers, and Retail Sale Facilitators Act is available from the Rhode Island Division of Taxation (See 2017 Tax Notices 03-10) and the text of RI H5175.
Rhode Island is not unique in upping efforts to collect tax from remote internet sellers. Like The Ocean State, Minnesota and Washington have both enacted laws that impose tax or notification and reporting requirements on marketplace sellers. It is getting increasingly risky for non-collecting retailers to not collect and remit tax in all states where they sell.
Yet, if a growing number of states are cracking down on non-collecting out-of-state sellers, some are also offering an olive branch in the form of tax amnesty or voluntary disclosure programs.
By coincidence, Aug. 17 also marks the start of a combined sales/use and income/franchise tax amnesty program for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and other marketplace providers. This is not to be confused with the tax amnesty program Rhode Island is offering Dec. 1, 2017, through Feb. 15, 2018.
Between Aug. 17 and Oct. 17, unregistered marketplace sellers whose sole connection to a participating state is through inventory stored in a marketplace provider’s warehouse or fulfillment center are invited to apply to the Online Marketplace Seller Voluntary Disclosure Initiative. In exchange for registering with a state or states and collecting and remitting sales tax from Dec. 1, 2017 forward, participating states will forgive some or all back taxes, and waive all or a portion of the penalties and interest owed.
Washington D.C. will consider a shorter look-back period than its typical three years for both sales/use and income/franchise tax.
Wisconsin will require businesses to remit unpaid sales/use and income/franchise tax plus interest going back to Jan. 1, 2015.but will forgive taxes dating from before that date.
A handful of other states have expressed interest in the amnesty program. A definitive list of participating states is expected by Aug. 14. See The FBA sales tax amnesty program explained for additional information.
There’s a lot going on in the world of sales tax right now, especially for companies with actual or potential tax obligations in multiple states. Tax automation software can facilitate compliance and help businesses navigate this complex world.

A 2-year-old boy is being treated at Children's Hospital in Seattle after authorities found him submerged in a canal in Toppenish on Tuesday. Yakima County Sheriff's deputies were called to the home in the 200 block of East McDonald Road to help search for the missing toddler at about 11:20 a.m. Tuesday. After about 45 minutes they found the boy and pulled him from the canal located near his home. He was quickly taken to a Toppenish hospital where doctors were able to revive the boy and transfer him to Children's Hospital in Seattle where he's being treated Today.
Authorities say the water was high and muddy and the temperature of the water was 43 degrees.
No names are being released. | 2019-04-23T06:43:05 | https://newstalkkit.com/toddler-revived-after-being-submerged-in-toppenish-canal/ | [

Yippee! I just published my new pouch pattern, “You Can Take It With You”, made for art supplies, small sketchbooks or journals, and it even fits a standard size iPad! It features a side zip pocket to stow your charger, ear buds, art supplies, candy (!!) and a large main pouch to fit your iPad and sketchbook, and an open pocket on the back for anything else you need to take with you.
I designed it so you can use a Fat Quarter of Linen Cotton Canvas from @spoonflower, but you can use any fabrics you like, just adjust your quantity accordingly.
The fabric I used for the pattern pouch is designed by me, Underwater Beauties, and you can find it in my Spoonflower shop, right here!
You can find the pouch pattern in my Craftsy shop right here, for just $6!
If you make one, I’d love to see, tag me with pics on Instagram!
I will also have some pre-made pouches up for sale shortly to help pay for our Starry’s recent ear surgeries.
Thanks for supporting me and my work! | 2019-04-23T18:58:51 | https://cynthiafrenette.com/new-pattern-you-can-take-it-with-you-pouch/ | [

Luke Jacobs Synthpop, New Wave Andreas Gregor and Dave Rout have a long history in the Canadian electronic music scene that stems back deep into the 1980's with the cult electro new wavers Techniques Berlin. Much of Techniques Berlin's work has found refuge in old collections in the form of two anthology CDs simply titled 'Back Issue Vol. 1' and 'Back Issue Vol. 2' on the band's own label Bombshelter. If you were really on top of your TB game, you purchased the super limited edition compilation 'Suburban Playgrounds And Concrete Beaches' vinyl LP (300 copies) 6 years ago on Fabrika Records. Of course everything has been long sold out due to the never waning interest in Techniques Berlin. Due to that interest we arrive at this double LP comprised of new material and alternate versions of some of the classics. Later on, a companion double CD will be released by Nadanna with plenty of treats in store.
For those of us that grew up in the 1980's we saw the genesis of the home computer and some of the amazing things it could do as well as how it changed our culture and the way we think. I was fortunate that my father was heavily into the computer revolution. We had word processing, modems, games etc. when most of my friends did not have a home computer. The VIC 20, Commodore 64 and later the Leading Edge desktop helped define my love for all the offerings the computers had. Techniques Berlin wrote songs that reflected that era. 'Cyber Threat', 'Love Via Computer', Machine Language', 'Transmission' and 'Metropolis' are testaments to that time with their amazing arrangements and danceable progressions. These tracks and others take me back to those exploratory times of my teenage years as I shaped my path to today.
As you indulge in Techniques Berlin's new double LP 'Breathing' on Nadanna Records you feel a sense of revelry. Everything sounds so much within the era the original material was released, i'm afraid to call it new material. "Deep End" opens as if it was the A side to a 12" released 1986. The fast-paced beat with the addicting melodies and transitions to the chorus are top notch making this a choice entry to kick off this highly anticipated return to brilliance for Techniques Berlin. "Cold War" rings in more 80's vibes with backing vocals/spoken piece done by Tracy Howe of Rational Youth. Although the song is 5 minutes long, the repetitive nature of the track makes it seem longer. It definitely has hints of Rational Youth's classic track "Dancing On The Berlin Wall" as well as sharing Rational Youth's title of their finest work to date 'Cold War Night Life' as the chorus. The original theme of "Cold War" centered around dating and how much easier it was with the threat of nuclear annihilation in the cold war era. With the original working title "Cold War Love Life", Andreas and Dave thought it was too similar to the Rational Youth title. Andreas sent the track to Tracy Howe to see his thoughts on it, and he liked it. Tracy ended up joining Techniques Berlin on stage in Montreal and this is how he ended up recording on this song. "Serendipity" and "Damage" continue the new material as if these tracks were lost in the TB vaults and just found. The beautiful synth rhythms flourish in the vast technical display of pure awesomeness paired with perfect melodies and well timed drops. "Damage" also displays more of that 80's retro sound. I like the short vocal verses and the time in between the next vocal piece sets up the crafty nature of the track. "Damage" laces some killer sparkling keys set to mid-pace beats that will surely captivate the most discerning electronic aficionado. Techniques Berlin show their fans that this is not just some cheap come-back gimmick to generate relevance. Every track is well-designed with ample time taken to ensure the best product possible. "Burning Down" sinks the tempo to a less moderate pace. The vocals seem to take a more dominate role this time. Midway through the track there is a nice long instrumental surge between the next vocal piece showcasing brilliant electronic arrangements. "Hollow Graphic Haze" reveals Dina Naskos' backing vocals set to somewhat spoken style vocals leaving the more melodic style behind. This is similar to the "Cold War" vocal style. The diversity in the vocal style really helps keep the overall feel to 'Breathing' fresh and vibrant in nature. "Driving Force" and "Changes" solidify the structural integrity of 'Breathing' by holding the midway point on stable ground. Once again, there are no filler tracks, just top notch programming and arrangements throughout. "Changes" seem to revolve around a lost romance, thinking about another dance with the lost love. The lyrics reminded of Nadanna's logo of the dancing couple. "Driving force" keeps the album flowing in a great direction. If you listen carefully somewhere after the two minute mark, there is an echoing distant sound that reminds me of indoor racket ball. I guess you will have take my word for it or listen and decide for yourself. I love the choices of sounds. I'm sure this was not what Techniques Berlin had in mind, but meshed together with everything else it works brilliantly to keep strength of the album up. "Breathing" marks the end of the new tracks along with "Salvation". 'Breathing" is definitely a stand out offering. With its quick beat and perfectly executed monotone yet melodic choruses makes this a super enticing concluding routine to the album that shares the song's title. With the 20 plus synths Andreas and Dave have between them there's always a way to elevate their game. They certainly did that on each of the 10 new songs.
"Picture Show" was written in 86 or 87 as a tribute to the Canadian musician Nash The Slash. Nash The Slash used to play live in old theaters to provide sound for silent movies. His signature look was a tuxedo, tophat, sunglasses and his face wrapped in bandages. The band was fond of his work and got to know him. After his passing in 2014, Techniques Berlin decided to re-record "Picture Show" as tribute to him and his work. "Picture Show" features an aggressive instrumental build paired with some piercing synth work making this track a perfect tribute to a musical icon. Most of the tracks after "Picture Show" will be familiar to long time fans of the band. Although these tracks may be alternate versions or rehearsal versions, they are still just as cool as the original versions. "Watching You", "Beats Like A Machine", "Planet 21", "Miles Away", "Pieces Of Glass", "Just One Look", "Where Have You Been" and "Metropolis" can all be found on iTunes in the digital format in the original versions. The somber sounding "Sudden Guilt" has never been released previously. "Miles Away" has a familiar title to fans of John Foxx. The reference was unintentional and is not a cover version. Andreas' love of John Foxx can be found more easily on his Agents In Fared project. "Miles Away" is remastered from a chewed up four-track cassette. The track came to be when Dave played the demo version for Andreas. Andreas promptly pulled into a 7-11 parking lot, purchased a notebook and began coming up with lyrics to compliment the music. He ended up writing about a girl he knew in college. "Metropolis" is the end result of a ten year process to get Dina to act as a replacement for Dale Hanlin after his short tenure from 1990-1992. Dina, Dave and Andreas played "Metropolis" in a rehearsal session and loved the outcome and decided to record it.
Nadanna and Techniques Berlin collaborated to introduce new material and alternate versions of early works because they heard the distant calling and local callings for new material from a band the fans will never let die. Andreas and Dave heard their calls and made a comeback album new fans and long time fans will appreciate. Given Nadanna's track record with remix CDs, you know when it is finally released sometime in the spring you will hear some incredible stuff.
Dave and Andreas both worked with Digital Poodle adding percussion and drum programming in the mid 90's. 12 years ago Das Drehmoment released Datafreq 'Fun For The Whole Family' album in 2006 showcasing the duo's vivacity and abilities to perform some killer addictive electro synthpop with some minimal influences. There was and is some amazing music that came out Canada that wasn't Front Line Assemble or Skinny Puppy. Do yourself a solid and explore Dave and Andreas' works. They certainly earned a spot in Canadian music history through their music and the influences they have had on others.
Of course Martin Bowes is responsible for the mastering and Steve Lippert took care of the cover art. The record is limited to 350 copies, gatefold sleeve and inner sleeve with lyrics and credits.

I was privileged to deliver quadruplets this week. The four babies were born by caesarean section at St George’s Hospital and were the first set of quadruplets to be born at the hospital in 13 years. I was even more honoured to have one of them named after me! A truly humbling experience which I am incredibly lucky to have been a part of.
Stillbirth rate in twins cut by almost half!

Article by Erica Berman, PhD, who has the scoop on family fitness in Toronto.
After what seemed like a particularly long and brutal winter, spring is finally here and many of us in Toronto feel like we’re coming out of a long period of hibernation. This often means that we’ve spent too much time on the couch and too little time being active. Even when the weather cooperates, it’s difficult for most people to carve out time for exercise, and this is particularly true for parents. Keeping active, however, doesn’t have to be complicated, and it can and should, ideally involve the kids. The best way to get them on the path to a healthy lifestyle is to model one, after all.
If you have an infant and/or toddler, there are many gyms and fitness facilities in Toronto that offer childcare. Community centres like the Miles Nadal JCC, Wallace Emerson, and The West End YMCA are a few of my favorite recreation facilities that will mind your little ones while you get fit.
If you have preschoolers to pre-teens, why not get your kids moving with you at the same time? Fit Fix and Fit Fix Junior offer a wide variety of fitness classes and training for children and adults. Krudar Muai Thai in Kensington Market holds a Muai Thai class for children every Saturday while simultaneously running both spinning and boot camp classes for grown-ups.
If you have teens, find an activity you all enjoy make it quality time. If conventional fitness activities don’t appeal, how about badminton, martial arts, paddle boarding or roller derby?
When it comes to family fitness a gym, fancy equipment and scheduled classes are not essential: the city is full of outdoor spaces to get fit too! Simply taking a walk with the added resistance of a stroller, wagon or baby carrier is great exercise for moms and dads. If you regularly take your kids to the park and then watch while they play, you are missing out on a prime opportunity to get active. Why not jog around the playground, do burpees and jumping jacks, or bring a skipping rope or hula hoop (one of the latest fitness crazes!)? The whole family can have fun while getting fit together.
Parks are also great, safe places for walking, running or cycling as a family and there are so many wonderful options in Toronto: Withrow and Riverdale parks in the East End, Cedarvale, Christie Pits, and Trinity Bellwoods in the West, and, of course, High Park.
Tracks, in particular, are perfect spots for everyone to exercise: kids can cycle or scooter without the danger of cars nearby, and parents can walk or jog while keeping a close eye on their little ones. In our area, Earlscourt park, located just south of the Joseph Picinnini Community Centre, has a beautiful outdoor track, but maybe your kids’ school has one you can use that’s right at your doorstep.
If going around and around in circles is not your idea of fun, than enjoy exploring nature instead: Toronto has fabulous waterfront and ravine trails, the Beach boardwalk, and the unique Evergreen Brickworks lands to walk or hike.
One of the best ways to build exercise into your life is to leave your car in the garage as much as possible. Walk or ride bicycles to school, work, daycare or the grocery store instead. Even if your kids are small, there are now a myriad of options for allowing them to safely ride on your bicycle. Not only is cycling great exercise, it’s an inexpensive and environmentally friendly mode of transportation too!
If it’s your kids who need a wee bit of motivation to get moving, offer them an incentive to get on their bikes or walk to the park: a picnic lunch on the grass, a visit to see the animals at the High Park Zoo, or a dip in one of the many splash pads around the city. Another strategy that works with my kids is to include their friends. Offer to pick up a friend or two on the way to the park and turn it into a playdate. Remember, fitness should be a family affair!
What are your favourite ways to build family fitness into your life and routine?
Erica Berman is a mother of two, psychotherapist, fitness instructor and personal trainer. She cycles to work whenever possible.
I once brought the kids with me in the tracks and they got hooked. Now, they are the ones urging me to take them each time I go there. Indeed, kids should be taught about exercise while they are young to help them develop healthy habits in the future. | 2019-04-23T06:39:46 | http://torontomomnow.com/2013/family-fitness-in-toronto/ | [

Learn how to check voltage, current and resistance on your RV.
A multimeter, also known as a multi-tester, can be one of the most useful tools to carry in your motorhome. It allows you to measure a variety of electrical functions including DC and AC voltage, circuit continuity and resistance. If you don’t have one, check hardware stores for a variety of these meters that have a digital readout.
A primary role for a multi-tester may be considered a “gas gauge” for battery state of charge, and to measure the viability of your charging sources – very important if you frequently dry camp. To assure consistent results while using the meter for charge status of the house batteries, readings should be always be taken the same way – with no load (except refrigerator) or charging input.
To test charging via the engine alternator, start the engine and use the meter’s 20-volt or 40-volt DC scale (depending on brand and model) to check voltage at the starting as well as house batteries. The reading should be 13.5 to 14.2 volts, varying with battery state of charge and with ambient temperature. A voltage reading as low as 13.5 is not ideal, but is normal for some engine alternators in warm weather.
Next, test performance of the motorhome’s converter/battery charger, which will tell you how well the system will fare while relying on it and the AC generator – unless you rely mainly on solar panels for battery recharging.
With the generator running or the coach connected to a land line, voltage at the house batteries should be about 13.8 after an hour or so of running, if the converter is single-stage. With a multi-stage “smart” converter/charger, voltage will vary between 13.5 (battery float following full charge) and 14.2 to 14.5 at full charge.
Checking circuits is another valuable use of the multimeter. Example: a 12-volt-DC light bulb fails to function. The bulb filament appears to be good, and the fuse is OK.
a) Set the meter on the appropriate DC scale and touch the red probe to the contact inside the socket (+) and the black probe to the rim of the socket (-). If you get a reading, the power source is good; if you get no reading, check for a loose connection behind the light, and proceed to b) if necessary.
b) To check the hot (+) circuit, touch a meter probe to the bulb socket contact and the other probe to the rim (-) of a nearby light that works, using alligator-clip extension wires if necessary. If there is no reading, the hot circuit (+) is dead, usually caused by a loose connection.
A fuse can be checked by setting the meter on “continuity.” Touch a probe on each end of the fuse; the meter reading should drop to near zero. Light bulbs also can be tested for continuity. Never test continuity in a “hot” circuit.
Before connecting the coach to an outside 120-volt-AC electrical source, it should be checked for correct polarity (wires properly connected) and/or a faulty ground connection – problems that can cause damage to appliances.
Set the meter on the 200-volt AC voltage scale, and use the probes carefully to avoid a nasty jolt if a finger inadvertently makes contact with the metal tip.
Checking 30-amp outlets: With the circuit breaker in the “on” position, insert the black probe into the half-round slot (ground). Insert the red probe into the left rectangular slot (hot). The reading should be 115 to 120 volts, which indicates that the ground connection is good and that the polarity is correct.
Keep the black probe in the ground slot and move the red probe to the right slot (common); this should produce no reading – no voltage between common and ground. If either of the tests fails to produce the desired reading, don’t connect; inform park management.
The instructions packaged with multimeters cover many additional diagnostic functions, which can be very useful.
I would recommend that you check the meter on a known voltage to prove the meter is working. It is a safety concern. I have been working in the field for 35+ years. If the meter is bad and you touch anything that is energized you will have shocking results. I am not talking 12 volts, 120 VAC.
Just a tip to stay safe.
I had no idea what a multimeter was before this article; let alone how to use one. I didn’t know that they are such a beneficial thing to have in a motorhome or RV. If I get an RV ever, I will have to invest in one.
This is the most comprehensive explanation on using the multi-tester I have seen in years.
What seems basic to many, is often new to those just getting into RV life. Any additional info, explained this way, would be greatly appreciated. | 2019-04-20T12:45:00 | http://www.motorhome.com/tech/diy/how-to-use-a-multimeter/?utm_source=exacttarget&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MHN19985_09122018 | [

Protecting design is essential in terms of building value in a brand. One thinks this case will have implications for brand owners marketing professionals, patent attorneys and lawyers in general.
Supreme Court Justice Lord Neuberger said Trunki was "both original and clever" and he said it "appears clear" the Kiddee Case had been conceived "as a result of seeing a Trunki and discovering that a discount model was not available". But he said: "Unfortunately for Magmatic, however, this appeal is not concerned with an idea or an invention, but with a design." | 2019-04-21T21:01:25 | http://insights.conical.co.uk/post/102d89o/significant-design-case-ruling | [

The city’s first silent cinematic theatre is being dramatically transformed into just 10 unique and spacious apartments for sale in Lisbon, just off the emblematic Avenida da Liberdade.
Dating back to 1927 this iconic building, once revitalised, will offer a range of one to three bedroom apartments, each with generous sizes and clever interior design that maximises the use of space, light. As well as a brand new restaurant at the base of the renovated building, the development will also feature automated robotic parking.
Why is this building renovation so exciting?
Aside from the incredible prime location, over three years of painstaking work has gone into the planning and architectural design of this impressive restoration and redevelopment.
Within a building that has the space to occupy a great deal more apartments, the developer has chosen against maximising the space for residential means and instead, is creating a small handful of unique and iconic properties and one incredible restaurant, which will last forever as totally unique pieces of real estate history.
Hotels and boutiques are opening up near to this project including a slick 5* hotel, which will further benefit the area.
What else about Avenida da Liberdade?
Often compared to Paris' Champs Élysée, Avenida da Liberdade offers charming period architecture and baroque features, along with some of the world’s top shopping brands including Cartier, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
Residents can take advantage of numerous gourmet restaurants, including the new one arriving at this project and they will still be within walking distance from all of Lisbon's most emblematic areas; Chiado, Baixa, Alfama, Mouraria. | 2019-04-21T20:32:51 | https://www.athenaadvisers.com/property/apartments-for-sale-avenida-da-liberdade-odeon/ | [

Home: Amala Network Sakahagi, unlike most demons, takes the Amala Network itself as his permanent home, gorging himself on Magatsuhi, hiding when necessary, and attacking all who cross his path. It is his ambition to be master of all demons, and he will stop at nothing in his path of destruction.
Sakahagi was a Manikin resident of a certain Vortex World. In life, he was a successful businessman, a hard worker with a loving family and a prestigious position. However, a series of tragedies struck him and embittered him, causing him to vow vengeance on the world. With this mindset, his soul migrated to the holy river banks of Mifunashiro, shaping a Manikin body and personality according to his desires. Across the Vortex World, he terrorized Manikins and stole the Magatsuhi they had for himself, trying to grow in power such that he would be master of all he surveyed. Even after being resurrected as a demon, he continues his rampage, hunted by and hunting all around him.
Sakahagi has little patience for politics, and thus has no real opinion of any of the factions. Any are fair game to be added into his coat of skins. | 2019-04-22T14:59:53 | http://seekers-rp.wikidot.com/sakahagi | [

This file discusses briefly (1) the four dimensions underlying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and (2) several teaching approaches that will appeal to different MBTI profiles.
The 126 item Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Form G, is the most reliable method for assessing student learning style. The MBTI provides data on four sets of preferences. These preferences result in 16 learning styles, or types. A type is the combination of the four preferences. The most common MBTI type for business undergraduates is the ESTJ, the Extraverted-Sensing-Thinking-Judger.
The MBTI instrument should be administered in the first or second class period by the counseling center at your school. It takes about 45 minutes to complete the instrument. The counseling center can score the MBTI and share the data with the students. Students enjoy learning about themselves and find the MBTI data informative.
This preference tells us how people "charge their batteries." Introverts find energy in the inner world of ideas, concepts, and abstractions. They can be sociable but need quiet to recharge their batteries. Introverts want to understand the world. Introverts are concentrators and reflective thinkers. Their motto is: Ready, Aim, Aim, ..... For the introvert, there is no impression without reflection.
Extraverts find energy in things and people. They prefer interaction with others, and are action oriented. Extraverts are interactors and "on-the-fly" thinkers. Their motto is: Ready, Fire, Aim. For the extravert, there is no impression without expression.
The majority of undergraduate students are extraverts. Based on data from the Center for Applied Psychological Type (CAPT) between 56% and 58% of over 16,000 freshman students at three state universities were extraverts. Interestingly, over 83% of college student leaders were extraverts, while over 65% of Phi Beta Kappas were introverts. Our own data base indicates that over 65% of business students are extraverts. It is not surprising that almost two-thirds of undergraduate business students are extraverts. Students may major in business administration because the business world appreciates and rewards action which coincides with the extraverts' strength.
The majority of university faculty are introverts. CAPT reported that almost 55% of 2,282 faculty are introverts. Our own data base for business faculty indicates that over 60% are introverts..
Extraverted students learn by explaining to others. They do not know if they understand the subject until they try to explain it to themselves or others. Extraverted students have told us that they thought they knew the material until they tried to explain it to a fellow student. Only then did they realize they did not understand the subject.
Both support learning through explaining, but provide quiet time for introverted students.
Teacher poses question and provides quiet time for students.
Teacher designates the explainer and listener within each dyad.
Teachers pose question and provide quiet time for students.
Each team member shares ideas with others in a round-robin fashion.
Teams discusses ideas and reaches closure.
Teacher critiques some team's answers and provide closure.
In a seminal study, George Miller noted that people can hold 7 + 2 chunks of knowledge in their minds at any given time. If each knowledge chunk contains a specific fact, then the amount of knowledge possessed is limited. But if each chunk contains many interconnected facts, a network or framework of facts, then the amount of knowledge is almost unlimited.
Introverted students want to develop frameworks that integrate or connect the subject matter. To an introvert, disconnected chunks are not knowledge, merely information. Knowledge means interconnecting material and seeing the "big picture."
Faculty should teach their students how to chunk, or group and interconnect, knowledge. Introverted students will appreciate it, extraverted students may not. Nevertheless, cognitive psychologists tell us that through chunking, students master the material. We recommend that faculty teach students how to build a compare/ contrast table, flowchart, or concept map.
Some of us choose to rely on our five senses. Some prefer taking in information through our "sixth" sense. Sensing people are detail oriented, want facts, and trust them. Joe Friday from the TV show Dragnet epitomizes the extreme sensing detective. All he ever wanted was "just the facts".
Intuitive people seek out patterns and relationships among the facts they have gathered. They trust hunches and their intuition and look for the "big picture." The quintessential intuitive was Albert Einstein whose fanciful thought experiments revolutionized the 20th century. He could see patterns where others saw randomness or chaos.
The majority of undergraduates are sensing students. Based on data from the Center for Applied Psychological Type (CAPT) between 56% and 72% of over 16,000 freshmen at three state universities were sensing students. Interestingly, almost 83% of national merit scholarship finalists and 92% of Rhodes Scholars were intuitive students. Our own data base indicates that over 65% of business majors are sensing students.
The majority of university faculty are intuitive. CAPT reported that almost 64% of 2,282 faculty are intuitive. We obtained the same percentage from our business faculty data base.
-application organizing strategy and (3) the advance organizer.
In the what must be known (WMBK) method, we first ask: What is (are) the topic's most essential general principle(s) or goals? Place the answer in a goal box. We then ask: What topic(s) must be known such that students could achieve the goal? Place these subgoal boxes below the goal box and show an arrow leading from each subgoal box to the goal box. Continue to ask WMBK questions until you interface with material previously covered. You would then present the lecture by starting at the bottom of the diagram and work up towards the goal box.
The A-T-A method begins with a faculty member presenting an (A)pplication (problem or mini-case) to the class. The students attempt to analyze and solve the case or problem without the benefit of the upcoming chapter's theory or ideas. Applications motivate sensing students to learn the material. Applications answer the question that sensing students often ask, "why am I learning this material?" After the class has struggled with the problem (and sometimes emerged victoriously), the teacher presents the chapter's (T)heory or ideas, and then applies it to the original application. Afterwards the teacher presents additional (A)pplications and has the students apply the theory.
An opening application problem or mini-case should (1) be familiar to students, (2) engage their curiosity, (3) be almost solvable from previous text material or student experiences, and (4) be baffling, or counter-intuitive, if possible. A familiar problem assures sensing students that their experiences have prepared them to address the problem. The third attribute minimizes students' frustrations. The application should be "just beyond a student's reach". However, previously learned material or experiences should help students make a reasonable solution attempt. An application that is too significant a leap will cause frustration, and the feeling that the teacher is playing games with the students.
David Ausubel's advance organizer is a brief lecture or demonstration during the introduction of the lecture that provides a mental scaffolding to anchor the new material. The advance organizer provides a set of highly general concepts that subsume the material about to be learned. An advance organizer taps into students' existing knowledge structures. It helps cross-list new information with already existing information and thus aids learning and knowledge retrieval. It makes the unfamiliar more familiar; it makes the abstract more concrete.
Note how the following advance organizer taps into existing knowledge that the students should have already acquired.
Goal:-----------Connects Indian history to an existing civil rights knowledge base.
The advance organizer is not an overview. An overview would have introduced the students to the lecture's key ideas: Gandhi, salt monopoly, British policy, boiling sea water, etc..
The advance organizer provides a familiar setting to anchor new, and potentially strange, material. The organizer works because at a very general level, the marches of King and Gandhi dealt with charismatic leaders in a struggle against oppressive forces. For an African-American audience, the MLK organizer transformed an abstract lecture into a familiar and more concrete setting.
1. What do students know that at a very general level is similar to the subject matter about to be taught?
2. How can I demonstrate the connections between what is known and what is to be learned?
Intuitive students prefer either the traditional Theory-Application-Theory approach or the A-T-A approach using discovery learning. We illustrate the A-T-A approach using discovery learning in teaching the central limit theorem in a basic statistics course. The teacher selects 50 numbers from a random numbers table, and develops a frequency histogram. The data are not bell-shaped. The teacher then selects 30 samples of size eight numbers (replacing each number after it is drawn) from the 50 numbers, computes the 30 means, and develops a frequency histogram for the means. The histogram is now roughly bell-shaped. The teacher concludes the demonstration by asking why is the histogram of means nearly bell-shaped. Using the discovery method, students hopefully will discover the reasons underlying the central limit theorem.
The discovery method, or the why method, will appeal to intuitive students and will teach sensing students how to uncover general principles. In using this method, sensing and intuitive students should be combined in learning groups. The intuitive student can help the sensing student to discover the theory; the sensing student can help identify and marshal the facts of the exercise.
Intuitive students must have the big picture, or an integrating framework, to understand a subject. The big picture shows how the subject matter is interrelated. Intuitive students can develop reasonably correct concept maps or compare and contrast tables. Fortunately, sensing students can be taught to do the same.
Some of us choose to decide things impersonally on analysis, logic, and principle. Some of us make decisions by focusing on human values. Thinking students value fairness. What could be fairer than focusing on the situation's logic, and placing great weight on objective criteria in making a decision. Mr. Spock, science officer of the starship Enterprise, had an extreme preference for thinking.
Feeling students value harmony. They focus on human values and needs as they make decisions or arrive at judgments. They tend to be good at persuasion and facilitating differences among group members. Dr. McCoy, Spock's colleague aboard the Enterprise, demonstrated a preference for feeling.
Unlike the two previous sets of preferences, CAPT reports that on this dimension, the proportion of males and females differ. About 64% of all males have a preference for thinking, while only about 34% of all females have a preference for thinking.
Our own data base indicates that over 70% of male and female under-graduate business students are thinking students. It is not surprising that the majority of business majors are thinking students. Business is, after all, the domain of logic and analysis.
The majority of university faculty have a preference for thinking. CAPT reported that almost 54% of 2,282 faculty are thinking. Seventy percent of business faculty have a preference for thinking. Thus, on the thinking versus feeling preference, business faculty and students are similar.
Thinking students like clear course and topic objectives. Clear course or topic objectives avoid vague words or expressions such as "students will appreciate or be exposed to." Rather, objectives are precise and action-oriented. By precise we mean that teachers can write objectives at three meta-levels of learning: rote, meaningful and integrated, and critical thinking. By action oriented we mean that the verbs describe what students must do, not what faculty will do. The Bloom et al. taxonomy provides guidelines for writing clear and meaningful objectives.
1. Make process suggestions to regain session focus.
2. Keep individuals from personally attacking one another.
3. Monitor time remaining within a session and gently remind members.
4. Encourage equal participation among members in discussion phase.
5. Demonstrate collaborative-seeking (WIN-WIN) behaviors.
6. Assure that recorder writes legibly.
7. Respond to group member's questions to you by restating the question and asking other group members to respond (the boomerang method).
8. Recognize that all the objectives and goals within a session may not completed. Get group to do the possible given the time constraints.
9. Use light-hearted (or self-deprecating) humor to break tension.
10. Keep group enthusiasm high and sell ideas to members.
Some of us like to postpone action and seek more data. Others like to make quick decisions. Judging people are decisive, planful and selfregimented. They focus on completing the task, only want to know the essentials, and take action quickly (perhaps too quickly). They plan their work and work their plan. Deadlines are sacred. Their motto is: just do it!
Perceptive people are curious, adaptable, and spontaneous. They start many tasks, want to know everything about each task, and often find it difficult to complete a task. Deadlines are meant to be stretched. Their motto is: on the other hand ... .
The majority of undergraduate students are judging students. Based on data from the Center for Applied Psychological Type (CAPT) between 46% and 60% of over 16,000 freshmen at three state universities were judging students. Interestingly, almost 64% of Rhodes Scholars were perceptive students. Our own data base indicates that over 70% of undergraduate business students are judging students.
The majority of university faculty also have a preference for judging. CAPT reported that almost 65% of 2,282 faculty prefer judging. We obtained the same percentage from our business faculty data base.
We have found that the following hints on note taking and test taking help judging students learn more effectively.
Most students can learn speedwriting in several minutes. Just omit all (or most) vowels. Or develop your own shorthand method. For example, mst stdnts cn lrn spdwrtng in svrl mnts. Jst omt ll or mst vwls.
Draw a line down center of a notebook page. On the left-hand side, record the lecture (use speedwriting or your own shorthand notation). After class, write a commentary on the right-hand side. Include restating ideas in your own words, finding sources of confusion, identifying key points, looking for links to earlier learned material, and asking what does this mean to me (the student).
Use different colors to record ideas presented in class and found in the text or readings. For example, use blue to code major ideas and green to code links to previously learned material.
In answering an essay question, first Analyze the question and jot down key ideas, Organize the ideas into a logical sequence, and only then write the essay (Respond).
To review an essay question, first read your answer. Then construct a essay question based on your answer. Now compare your question to the teacher's question. If different, revise your answer. This strategy ensures that students answer the teacher's question.
Read the question's stem (the portion that contains the question) and write a brief answer. Then compare your answer to the four or five choices, and select the answer most similar to your mini-essay.
Your universities' learning resource center is an especially good source for additional hints on note and test taking. Include several hints in each course syllabus. Spend a few minutes explaining these hints in the first class period. Occasionally remind the students of the hints (especially before the first exam).
Judging students often reach too-quick closure when analyzing cases. Thus we recommend a second-look meeting. After completing the case, the group reviews their analysis. A student plays a "gentle" Devil's Advocate (DA) and challenges the group's conclusions. The DA should be prepared to recommend an alternative solution. This will force the group to consider the pros and cons of both approaches. The DA can also ask team members to state assumptions about stakeholders (those who are affected by or will affect the case solution) which must be true for the group's solution to be effective. The DA can then challenge the group to provide evidence that the assumptions are true. Guidelines for a second-look meeting should be included in the case preparation hints provided to students.
Perceptive students often postpone doing an assignment until the very last minute. They are not lazy. Quite to the contrary, they seek information to the very last minute (and sometimes beyond). We recommend decomposing a complex project or paper into a series of sub-assignments and providing deadlines for each sub-assignment. The deadlines may keep the perceptive students on target.
Decomposing a major project into sub-assignments provides the opportunity for continuous feedback to the student. Have students hand-in an audio tape with their sub-assignments. The teacher can then provide detailed audio (we speak faster than we can write) comments on content and grammar. When we have used the audio feedback approach, final papers are clear and readable, and thus less aggravation to read. Moreover, without the teacher's interim feedback, students lose an opportunity to improve their writing skills during the semester.

The Grocery Charity Ball remains the premier event on the grocery industry social calendar since 2004, proudly directing profits to charitable trusts throughout New Zealand.
They are delighted to confirm the amount raised at the 2018 event for Big Buddy was $225,000.
This is a huge amount which will make such a big difference to their organisation, a mentoring service run by dedicated professionals who recruit male volunteers from the community to become mentors to fatherless boys.
The Grocery Charity Ball is excited to announce the beneficiary for 2019 as Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
MND NZ are here to help and support people with motor neurone disease and their carers. They aim to provide useful material about the things that people affected by MND are likely to want to know, such as information on MND, research updates on MND, and where to go for help and support. | 2019-04-24T11:51:18 | https://www.fmcgbusiness.co.nz/grocery-charity-ball-announces-2019-beneficiary/ | [

(3) if disqualified from acting.
Subject to the points made below, any director can be removed by an ordinary resolution of the general meeting under the following provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
CA 2006, sec168 (1) A company may by ordinary resolution at a meeting remove a director before the expiration of his period of office, notwithstanding anything in any agreement between it and him.
(2) Special notice is required of a resolution to remove a director under this section or to appoint somebody instead of a director so removed at the meeting at which he is removed.
(5) This section is not to be taken (a) as depriving a person removed under it of compensation or damages payable to him in respect of the termination of his appointment as director or of any appointment terminating with that as director, or (b) as derogating from any power to remove a director that may exist apart from this section.
The special notice provisions are set out in sec312 CA 2006. This provides that the resolution is not effective unless notice of the intention to move it has been given to the company a least 28 days before the meeting at which it is moved. The company must then give notice of the resolution at the same time and in the same manner as it gives notice of the meeting (or, if that is not practicable, must advertise in an appropriate newspaper).
(b) if the poll is so demanded on a resolution to delete or amend the provisions of this article, to votes for each share held by her/him."
Note that this clause can only a protect a director who is also a shareholder in the company, and the above wording will have to be modified to meet the circumstances of each case.
(e) he shall for more than six consecutive months have been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the directors held during that period and the directors resolve that his office be vacated.
Other grounds could be added to the articles and/or provisions inserted to make it easier to remove a director.
A court may make a disqualification order prohibiting the person from acting as a director of a company, or being involved in the management of any company, for the period of the disqualification. Such orders are made under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
The provisions of that Act were amended by Part 9 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015. Sec104 of that Act inserts a new sec5A into the CDDA making convictions abroad a ground for disqualification and sec105 inserts a new sec8ZA CDDA making it possible for someone who has had sufficient influence over another person who is themselves disqualified (“the main transgressor”) also to be disqualified.
Some detailed amendments are made to the matters to be taken into account when a court is determining unfitness to be a director. Sec 105 SBEEA amends CDDA sec6 to include conduct in relation to one or more overseas companies.
A new CDDA Schedule 1 (matters for determining unfitness) is enacted.
By sec110 SBEEA a new sec15A is added to the CDDA allowing the court to make a compensation order against a person who is subject to a disqualification order or disqualification undertaking and the conduct for which the person is subject to the order or undertaking has caused loss to one or more creditors of an insolvent company of which the person has been a director.
There are also detailed amendments to equivalent legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Note that if the director is removed from office as a director, this will not usually affect the director's position (if he/she has one) as a shareholder in the company. This is often a relevant consideration in private companies, where often a director is also a shareholder. In most circumstances the only solution is for there to be negotiations for the purchase of the ex-directors shares. In some circumstances, the removal of the director may be grounds for petition under CA 2006, sec994 (the unfairly prejudicial conduct provision) under which the court may order the remaining shareholders (or indeed, The Company itself) to buy the ex-directors shares. Some companies' articles contain a clause that a shareholder who ceases to be a director is deemed to have given the company a transfer notice in respect of his or her shares, so that the shares can, in effect, be compulsorily acquired. | 2019-04-21T00:32:13 | https://www.companylawclub.co.uk/removal-of-a-director-from-office | [

Paris: Chris Froome is intent on defending his Tour de France title even if the owners of cycling's biggest race want to prevent the four-times winner from appearing in this year's event due to an ongoing doping investigation.
The Team Sky rider, who last week said he had every right to defend his title from July 7, tested positive for excessive levels of the asthma drug Salbutamol at last September's Vuelta a Espana.
Chris Froome riding last year's L'Etape Australia.
France's Le Monde newspaper reported that Froome will be banned from taking part in this year's race citing the race organisers, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), wishing to protect the image of the event.
Le Monde said Team Sky has already lodged an appeal to the court of arbitration of the French Olympic Committee, which will debate the case on Tuesday and is expected to issue a decision on the following day.
ASO did not comment on the report and Le Monde quoted a Team Sky spokesman saying "we are confident that Chris will be riding the Tour as we know he has done nothing wrong."
Team Sky also hasn't responded to the report, but Froome is confident he will start with his wife and representative, Michelle Froome, telling Reuters: "Chris will ride the Tour."
Froome has been racing under the cloud of a potential ban after a urine sample he provided at the Spanish Vuelta in September showed a concentration of the asthma drug salbutamol that was twice the permitted level.
Froome's use of asthma medication has been well documented, and the Kenyan-born rider has often been spotted using inhalers during races.
An athlete can be cleared for excessive salbutamol use if he proves that it was due to an appropriate therapeutic dosage. | 2019-04-19T05:05:57 | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/cycling/four-time-champion-chris-froome-banned-from-tour-de-france-20180702-p4zowi.html | [

Processing biomass incorporates various types of materials like wood, wood pellets, grass, yard waste farm waste, and more. Because of this, biomass processing equipment is designed to handle specific processes, including vibratory screening, density separation, metering, or material drying. When the right biomass equipment is chosen, processes can be completed thoroughly and efficiently, cutting down on time and resources needed.
Handling biomass materials that vary in size, shape, density, and composition can be challenging. For example, separation systems that use wire mesh screens can be prone to jamming and bridging. When these problems occur, operations are interrupted and downtime must be taken to correct the issue. High-performance equipment like a vibratory separator can separate and classify materials like wood chips and mulch, avoiding problems like blinding, jamming, or trapping.
Biomass equipment should complete processing tasks efficiently, but moving materials from one process to another should be efficient, too. Faulty, undersized, or unreliable conveyors or feeders can disrupt the material flow and, in turn, interrupt production.
Customizable vibratory conveyors can handle the unique needs of any facility’s workload or layout. Equipment that combines multiple processes like an activator/feeder can also save time and production cost. An activator/feeder combines two vibratory feeders with one pile activator, improving flow control and avoiding problems such as bridging or off-center loading.
Consideration should be taken using water to make a density separation such as wood mulch from glass, metals, or stones. These technologies create environmental emissions and wastewater that challenge the sustainability of the process.
Water separation poses some hazards to the environment, when a greener, more efficient process can be used. Equipment like an air classifier that uses air instead of water to separate heavy materials from light materials eliminates that threat. Not only is this system more sustainable, but it reduces the time required for cleanup with water separation equipment.
We designed our rugged and reliable biomass equipment to handle the unique demands of biomass processing. With the right biomass processing equipment, resources spent on operations are reduced, while efficiency and production are improved.
To learn more about how GK equipment can improve your Biomass process, contact us and talk to a vibratory expert today! | 2019-04-22T18:09:27 | https://www.generalkinematics.com/blog/all-about-biomass-equipment/ | [

BRATTLEBORO—The team behind the three-station police-fire facilities upgrades project estimates it has found $400,000 in savings.
The town Police-Fire Facilities Building Committee hosted a meeting last week to give the public an opportunity to ask questions about the $14.1 million project. About 20 people attended the presentation in the Selectboard Meeting Room at the Municipal Center on Feb. 27.
“I’ve been your watchdog on the budget up to date,” said Steve Horton, project manager on incorporating the oversight committee and town’s input.
“The priority being the best value for the money and the outcome being the safety and security for the people of Brattleboro,” he said about the scrutinizing the project budget.
Controversy has accompanied the police-fire facilities upgrade project. Bonding for the project has been blamed for a jump in the town’s property taxes for fiscal year 2015.
The town’s police station and two fire stations, however, have significant health and safety issues: black mold in the West Brattleboro fire station, and in the police station, which is in the Municipal Center.
Modern fire engines are too heavy for the floor and too big for the doors of the Central Fire Station, which also has air-quality issues.
The damp of the police station’s basement damages records.
The two largest cost savings have come through changes to the West Brattleboro fire station and police station plans.
The project team has recommended building a new West Brattleboro station, rather than renovating the existing station.
The project team also decided to build the Police Station addition to the Municipal Center without a basement, said Raymond A. Giolitto, architect with Northeast Collaborative Architects, which is based in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The new Station 2 will be constructed on property adjacent to the existing West Brattleboro fire station. The existing station is undersized, and renovating and expanding it would have required the costly relocation of a sewer tank and emergency generators.
According to Giolitto and Horton, the oversight committee has not decided whether to demolish the outdated West Brattleboro station or to put the building to new use. The exiting station will continue to house firefighters during construction.
Building a new Station 2 will save the project about $200,000.
Nancy Miller questioned whether having a station in West Brattleboro was prudent given the town’s tight finances.
“I have serious reservations whether we can afford all three sites,” said Miller.
Horton answered that before construction starts, the town will obtain from the contractor a guaranteed maximum price to help keep the project within budget.
Early plans for the Police Department renovations included renovations and expansion of the existing stone foundation of Municipal Center to the tune of $150,000 to $200,000, explained Horton.
“People think basements are cheap, but they’re not,” said Horton.
Phillips told the audience that the committee charged Interim Town Manager Patrick Moreland and Horton with evaluating alternative sites for the police station.
All the alternative sites proved more expensive than keeping the police station at the Municipal Center, said Phillips.
Giolitto and Horton also took questions on how the police station addition will affect the Municipal Center’s parking lot.
The town anticipates approximately 40 parking spaces, said Giolitto. The parking lot will also become one-way from Grove Street to Main Street for everything but police vehicles.
Horton told the audience that construction on all three building sites will occur simultaneously. The project team anticipates starting construction this summer. Of the three, the West Brattleboro station has the shortest construction schedule and will likely be completed this year. Central Station should be completed by the summer of 2015. The police station project has the longest timeline and should be completed the end of 2015.
The oversight committee has approved the plans for the three stations and will recommend the Selectboard approve the plans.
